Many letters have reacher GOV Cruce

was given to the public during the

his position on abolishment of cap

pionship battle. His large stomach is
gone, and his footwork is improved.
He invariably refuses to take advan-
tage of the opportunities open to him
in the ring. Stewart, too, is a much
improved man, and much faster than
Morris. He can take a great$deal of
punishment and is extremely clever at
inflghting. 1t was due only to the abil-
ity of Morris to stand punishment that
he did not go down for the count last
night.
Norris began with a vim. 1t looked
as though Stewart was doomed. The
first round saw the giant Morris fast
on his feet and mixing and landing in
great style. But his aggressiveness
was short. During the succeeding
rounds he was continually willing to
clinch and back up.
Stewart used a left that once almost
dropped Morris. Carl leaned on Stew
art and tried to make body blows
count, but they were wasted, for Stew
art easily drove away the giant with
smashes to the same spot.
The tenth round found the boys go
ing in great style, with Stewart get
ting all the better of it. Here Morris
was almost all in from the lacing he
was receiving.

COLLEGE BASEBALL
NOT so POPULAR

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March FL
Baseball as a game for college stu
dents and gentlemen is still on trial."
declares Dean Briggs. chairman of the
faculty athletics committee, in his an
nual report to President Lowell, of
Harvard. He adds:
IF students are wax in the hands
of ~unprincipled coaches; if generosity
to a rival is ignorance of the game; if,
in short, the game is not aIgame. but
an intricate collection of such devices
as would ostracize a man in anything
else, college baseball should be stopped
at once and forever.
IF it is the duty of patriotic stu
dents to make all the noise they can
while the visiting pitcher is facing
their representatives; if it is the duty
of the catcher to steady the pitcher
by remarks that unsteady the batsmen;
if baseball must degenerate into vocal
competitions on the part Of the play
ers, or into efforts to rattle the oppos-
ing pitchers OF the part of the grand
stands, the sooner We have done with
the game the better"

GEORGE; BELL
CANNOT PLAY
Writes McGinnity Operation on
Knee Will Prevent His Com
ing Here This Year.
Irrom a STAR corregpondent.l

PETERSBURG, Va. March H.
George Bell, former Brooklyn pitcher,
is lost to the Tigers, according to q
letter received by Manager Joe Nc
Ginnity today. The former Brooklyn
ite states that he has had a floating
cartilage removed from his knee, and
for that reason will not be able to play
ball until next season.
The temperature down in the Bengal
camp took q big drop today, due to the
heavy rains last night, and instead of
going out to the park for the usual
morning workout Manager NcGinnity
and the players jaunted around the
town.
1t will be Captain Harry Smith of
the Tigers this year. Joe McGinnity
made the announcement when the play
ers were marshaled together at the
hotel this morning. The veteran
catcher, who managed the Boston Ma
tionals two years ago Is to act as field
captain of the Tigers whenever he is
in the game. and he will be the regular
catcher. He has satisfied Joe McGin-
nifty that he "a hit and field as we'll as
over, despite his lay-off for a season.
When Smith is not behind the plate,
Eddie Zimmerman will be acting field
marshal of the Bengal forces.
The prediction made in these COL
umns some time ago that Bobby
Vaughn will qui baseball to follow
his career as a mining engineer seems
certain. Vaughn, in a letter, tells Joe
McGinnity that he has a contract
which will give him $4,000 a year work
ing for the Nipissing Mining Company,
fifty miles in the wilderness from Co
bait, Canada. McGinnity has written
to him asking him to play baseball an
other year. 1t rained last night here
for the first time since the boys struck
camp.
Yesterdays Game.
1t was like a real championship game
that the "McGinnitys" and the "Solo-'
mons played yesterday. The vice.
presidents team got one run in the
very first inning, and hat was just
enough to beat the Tiger managers
bunch. Macs men, however, got in
more safe wallops than did their op-
ponents, lifting out eve neat ones,
while Georges team got two less.
Adams, Holmes and Yates were the
winning mines selection, and Lee,
Gaskill, McGinnity and Jesse Ryerson,
catcher-pitcher, did the heaving for the
fatal boys. The exhibition was good
all the way, and the way George Solo,
mon umpired was a la tombstone.
Phillips three-bagger over Seymour's
head and Busch's wild heave was re-
sponsible for the only run scored.

the fans are now sitting back and
waiting until Tuesday, when this pair

That the demand for reservations Is

club will be sold out before Tuesday
night.
