Milwaukee Club Once
Trained on the Ice

CHICAGO, May 5-Accustomed to
expensive hotels, Pullman sleepers,
trips to the far Southland. and other
luxuries, ball players of today would
let out a howl that could be heard
around the world If they were forced
to train as did the Milwaukee club in
the Northwest League of 1884. says
Manning Vaughan in the Milwaukee
Sentinel.
There was none of the frills in
those days" said Otto Schomberg. the
weIl-known Milwaukee business man,
who was a member of that club. We
went to Rockford, Ill. and during the
entire three weeks We were there the
ground was covered with snow. But
We worked out every day. and though
there was not a player on the club
who did not have a sore arm when we
were in fine shape for the opening
game. Imagine the ball players of to-
day putting up with such conditions.
The Milwaukee club of 1884 had a
number of star players. Lady Bald

troit. was one of the pitchers. while
Tony Falch, now police sergeant.
was one of the catchers. Then there
were Eddie Hogan and Beall, the great
base runner. In addition to these
players several members OF the
famous Arctics. great Milwaukee
semipro club of the eighties. received
tryouts that spring.
The club was owned by several we'll
known Nilwaukeeans. among whom
were Harry Quin. the kipp brothers.

Bars Married Men
From Cornell Crew

ITHACA, y. Y, May 5.-That mar
riage is a bar to rowing. at least at
Cornell. has been demonstrated in the
case of E. W. Pollard. until recently a
member of the Junior varsity crew. and
member of last years crack freshman
combination. who has been dropped from
rowing by Coach Charles f. Courtney.
Pollard slipped quietly out of town
few days ago, telling Coach Courtney
that he would be away from crew prac
tice for several days because he had to
go to Syracuse to see a sick brother
The bluff worked for a day or two. but
Courtney happened to pick up Syra-

that Pollard had been married to a life
