COACHING PROBLEM
Is Worrying Undergraduates at
Harvard.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. January POLAR
ward undergraduates are uneasy over the
coaching problem in several sports.
While 1t is not likely that any coaches
are to be lost, three men have not been
re-engaged. and there is a desire at other
universities to obtain their services.
Percy D. Haughton's contract has ex-
pired, and nothing has yet been done to
retain him for the eleven. Frank Sexton
the base ball coach. is in the same posi-
ton. and Alfred Shrubb, whose coaching
gave Harvard the victory on the cross
country run, has not been re-engaged
In addition. James Wray's contract as
coach for the crew expires in a year
and no steps have been taken looking tc
it's renewal. Harvard is at the top OF
the wave in these sports. and the under
graduates and alumni wonder why moth
ing is done to retain the men who have
made the Crimson in these respects. Va
rious reasons are given for the delay ir
the contract with Haughton. and prob
ably all are wide of the mark, but 1t Is
believed that Shrubb and Sexton are mo-
satisfied with the payment for their serv'
ices. Wray has made no complaints.

TALES OF THE DIAMOND
Humorous and Otherwise.
By Billy Evans.

Red Nelson. pitcher. is willing to
make affidavit that Billy KLEIN, the
National League umpire, is some auto
crat. Nelson made his major league
debut as a member of the st. Louis
Browns. He joined that club in the
fall several years ago and startled
the base ball world by winning seven
out of eight starts. among them being a
shut-out victory over the great Ed
Walsh. 1t was thought that Mr.. Nelson
would surely be of great aid to the
Browns in escaping the cellar position
the following year. Illness, however. put
Nelson out of the running, and finally
resulted in his release from the American
League.
After an absolute rest OF several
months last year Nelson was taken on
by Manager Doom Of the Philadelphia
Nationals for a trial. He did well on his
several starts, seemed to have regained
his old-time form and will be given a
thorough chance to make good next year
in the older organization. / met Nelson

Sullivan. United States commissioner to
the Olympic games held at Stockholm last
summer. states that the athletic fever
continues undated abroad. There is
hardly foreign mail which does not

ing Of work in preparation for the Ber-
lin meet in 1885, said Mr. Sullivan.
Everywhere there are signs which in
dictate the United States team will meet
really formidable opponents at the next
Olympic games. For instance, France
has decided to establish a college Of ath-
letics. which will be for the training OF
French athletes for 1916. According tc
my advices Marquis de Polignac is re.
sponsible for the movement. which I ex.
pect will go far toward developing the
French youth for the Berlin contests
The training will begin next April All
official and amateur champions Of France
as well as those who are able to pass
the difficult tests of the college. will be
eligible for course of free training al
the expense of the marquis"

Carrigan's. Neat Trick.

Bill Carrigan of the Speed Boys turned
quite a trick in the first inning of the
game with the White Sox, May II, when
he turned back three men who set out for
second with intentions to steal their way
to that bag. The athletes who didn't
then add to their totals of steals were
Rath, Lord and Callahan.
Oscar Stanage of the Tigers practically
did the same thing eight days later, and
by an oddly the White Sox were again
in evidence The two teams hooked up
in a seventeen-inning game. and in the
sixth Stanage cut down three men at
second. Victim No. / of the round was
Ping Bodie. but the fence breaker was
not trying to steal that bag. Shane Col
Inns having the impression he could sac
rifice the Venetian to the midway. STAN
age pounced on the bunt and nailed Ping
at second. Collins then tried to steal and
was killed off. RolIie Zeider later reached
the getaway sack, but when he tried to
beat his passage to the midway Stanage
frustrated his attempt.
Here is the record of the men thrown
out trying to steal by the American
League catchers last season:
