Columbia Paper
Makes Bid for
Football Game

The football DOGGY has turned up
at Columbia again this year and the
annual demand for the re-establish-
ment Of the game on Morningside
Heights has been issued by The Spec
tator.
This time the lack Of football is
planned for the poor material that has
been reporting to the coaches of. CO.
lumbia's teams. and a recent gradu-
ate who has voiced the complaint sees
no hope until football is restored.
Without football big men cannot be
expected to come to Columbia, and it
is big men who are needed to support
every form of athletics.
Apparently the percentage Of big
men at Columbia today" says The
trace this condition directly to the
abolition Of football. 1t can hardly
be expected that powerful athletes
who give promise of successful college
athletic careers will waste, from their
point Of view. their four best years
at an institution where there is no
football team to make.
Coaches, captains and managers
may make their complaints and issue
their calls for big men year in and
year out, but 1t will only be so much
energy wasted. The abolition Of foot
ball at Columbia may or may not be
considered beneficial, but one thing Is
certain-it will hardly serve as an in
centive to big men to enter the try
for our teams-those big men we ap-
parently need so badly"
Strange to say. 1t has been discov-
cred that after football was abolished
'he average weight of Columbia's var
sity crews increased, and the crews
have been heavier than in the period
when football vas played. until last
spring. when the average slightly fell.

sprinting enabled him to come in on
low liners and pick them off his shoe
tops. and also corral pop flies tina;
were just beyond the infielders.
Once only was McAleer's fielding
average below the 800 mark. and tina,
al with Charleston in 1886. when his
average was only .S71. In the other
eleven years of his career as a player
he averaged we'll above 800, his fig
ures being 1894 in 1892 and .96c in
1898.
AS a batter McAleer was not a slug
ger, but he was a dangerous man at
son we'll up near the 800 mark. An
excellent waiter. he drew more than
his share Of bases on balls. and once
he got on the paths the opposing
pitcher was in misery. for McAleer
would steal on the slightest provoca-
ton. AS an all around performer on
the ball field McAleer was one Of the
very best of the bic school.
His best batting performance was
with Memphis in 1887. when he hit
.343. In his first season in the big
league with Cleveland in 1889 he hit
.235. and. singularly enough. that was
his batting average in his last season
as a player with Cleveland in 1898.
Between those years McAleer did

ing as follows; 1890: ;e72: 1891. .:s4:
1895. POI: 1895. .2s1: 1897. .294.
AS a manager McAleer landed
Cleveland sixth in 1900 and seventh in
1901. Then he wen to st. Louis. and
by ending h season in second place
caused Il sensation in the Mound city.
But that was the best he could do with
the material there. for the team ended
sixth in 1903 and 1904. seventh in
1905. fifth in 1906. sixth IN 1907,
fourth In 1908 md seventh in 1909.
Shifting his base OF operations to
Washington. McAleer was unable to do
better than seventh in 1910 and 1911.
McAleer began his PROFESSIONAL ca
reer in 1886 with the Charleston club
Of the Southern league. He went to
Memphis the following year. Joined
Milwaukee in 1888 and made his first
appearance In major league company
in 1889. when Cleveland was in the
National league. He was an outfielder
with the Clevelands until 1899. when
the players were sold in a body to St.
Louis. but he refused to be a party to
that sale.
When the American league began to
branch out in 1900 and took over the
Cleveland franchise McAlecr was an
pointed manager. in recognition, 1t

now come to be a power in baseball.
McAleer managed the Clevclands for
two years. and in 1902 he went to the
st. Louis Browns. where he served in
that capacity for eight Years until call

almost universally considered as a
certain winner of the flag in 1912. But
the fall-down Of Bender. the %cleverest
pitcher on the staff, and the deteriora-
tion Of Rube Oldring. who failed to
keep in condition, held the club down.
and the steady-going Red Sox beat
them out.
In spite Of the fact that they
wound UP in third place in the race.
the Athletics continued their great
hitting Of the previous two years,
leading the American league in bat
ting by a comfortable margin Of five
points over their nearest competitors,
the worlds champions. Though they
played in less games h any other
club in the league except the New
York Highlanders they made far more
base hits than any other team. and
were easily the most persistent and
consistent hitters in the league.
Their long drives resulted in their
leading all rivals in three-base hits.
OF which they garnered Fl more than
their closest opponent. They were
next to Boston in home runs. and ex-
.elled only by Boston and Cleveland in
,wo-baggers. With this kind Of slug
cling they might have taken part in

on March 10. eleven days later, Saul
Cohen, attorney for Mr.. Gross, was In
structed not to file the papers, and the
next day Mr.. Gross informed Epstein
that he had changed his mind and that
the proposed deal was off.
Epstein offered to release Gross from
his contract for $1,000. according to
Gross's statement, but the latter refused
to give him the $1,000 because he said
no expense had been incurred except
lawyers fees for drawing up the papers,

GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL COLOR
BY Common Garden Sage a
Simple Remedy for Dandruff,
Falling, Faded, Gray Hair.

The old idea of using Sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in vogue.
Our grandmothers had dark, glossy hair
at seventy-fiye, while our mothers are
gray before they are fifty. Our grand
mothers kept their hair soft and glossy
with o Sage Tea" which also restored
the natural color.
One objection to using such a prepar-
alton was the trouble of making 1t.
This objection has been overcome by
the Wyeth Chemical Company of New
York, who has placed on the market u
superior preparation of Sage, combined
with Sulphur and other valuable rene
dies for dandruff, itching scalp and thin,
weak, falling hair.
The beauty of the hair depends more
on its rich, even shading han anything
else. Don't have dry, harsh faded hair,
when a simple, harmless remedy will
bring back the color in a few days; and
don't be tormented with dandruff, itch
ing scalp and loose, falling hairs.
wyeth's Sage and sulphur Hair Remedy
will quickly correct these troubles, and
give color, strength and beauty to you
