KREPPS HAS CLEAR TITLE.
Tufts College Pitcher Has Signed No
Contract or Agreement.
Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star
BOSTON. Mass, January 2O.-Base
ball followers at Tufts College were very
much stirred up Saturday by a press re-
port that Raymond M. Krepps. the husky
southpaw who pitched for the freshman
team against the sophs last fall, had
signed up with Connie Mack to pitch TO,
the Athletics this season. and that he
would therefore be unable to represen,
Tufts this year.
Krepps emphatically denied the report
and said that. although he had had an
interview with Connie Mack, he had sign
ed no contract or agreement with any
major league team. He intends to pitch
for the Tufts team throughout his entire
four-year course, trying to equal, If not
to excel, the splendid record made by
Harry Martin during 1909. 10 and II.
Dean, Wren gave out the following
statement today in regard to the eligibii-
ity of krepps to play for Tufts this
spring:
"krepps has assured me that he has
not signed any contract or agreement
with any major league team. Under these
circumstances l can see nothing which
would affect his eligibility to represent

In China, I am told, physician draws
his pay so long as his patients are well.
When they are i'll. his pay ceases till they
are restored to health.
The doctor becomes a bookmaker. and
places odds on the game Of life. He has
one competitor-Lloyds of London.
Prevention Of disease is what medical
science aims at. Prevention is the theme
Of sewage systems, water supply and
general rules of health.
The business man may think that the
theory is far fetched when he is told to
keep in good physical trim for the sake
of forestalling disease. But even though
one might argue that the things pre-
vented might never have happened any,
way, it is a good idea to play on the
safe side, and try to avoid sickness.
The business or professional man who
feels "in." and who has small reserve

average of any two men that have played
ball for SO many years. Only Ty Cobb, IL
he keeps on, will outdo them. Lajoie's
grand total is a batting average of .365
for seventeen years, while Wagner gath
cred .344 as sfxteen-y0ar prize. How
really wonderful these averages are can
only be appreciated by those who have
played professional ball.
Yet the talk about ''benching" these
players comes up every fall and spring.
True, some day they Will become too Old
to play, but what managers wouldn't give
most anything to secure nine Wagners or
Lajoies, even though they are about forty
years Of age. We could give either OF
them a crutch and they would outplay
some of the men We have seen in the past
year one-half their age.

.FRENCHMEN SWEET
ON OUR RACE HORSES
Many More of the Noted Sires
Will Soon Be on Their
Way to France.

NEW YORK. January 1.-Among the
passengers on board the Minnetonka,
which reached here Thursday from Lon
don. after a rough passage. which caused
loss of three days over her usual run.
was Philip T. Chinn. a well-known Ken
tucky horseman, who had acted for Will
liam X. Vanderbilt i'm the purchase Of
seven brood mares from the late James
r. Keene few weeks ago.
He had charge of the mares and the
stallion Peter Pan in crossing to France.
All arrived safely. American and French
turfmen greatly admired the stallion, and
Messrs. Vanderbilt, Frank Gould Eugene
Leigh and others booked a number OF
mares to him at the large fee OF $500
each mare. Peter Pan is now. by
the will Of the late Mr.. keene, the prop
erty Of his widow, Mrs. Sarah Jay Keene.
1t is not yet known what the future OF
the horse will be. though IL is very likely
that not only Peter Pan, but Ballot and
Colin, both of whom are now standing in
England. will be sold to French breeders
Mr.. Chinn says that new rule is now
in operation in France which makes il
necessary that all mares in foal brought
there from other countries must be there
prior to January of the year that they
are expected to foal, else their produce
will not be eligible to The many rich
stakes which the French turf throws open
only to horses foaled in that country
Hence the twelve mares bought by
Messrs Vanderbilt and Gould from Mr..
Keene were landed in France just in
time to become eligible to all the priyi-
leges of native mares.
Though the stable owned by Mr. VAN
derbilt was not as successful i'm 1912 as
it has been for the four years preceding.
Mr.. Chinn has the authority of William
Duke Mr.. Vanderbilts trainer, for saw
ing that a much better season is expected
in 1918. The same rosy expectation was
expressed by Fred Calhoun for Mr..
Gould's horses. III. Il. Duryea has A

three veterinarians. clad i'm white, who
are under orders from the stewards to

extract from him a certain quantity OF

result of the analysis that four disquali-
fications took place several months ago.

fly. did Salome and then missed the ball
by foot. 1 realized what difficult day
it was for catching fly balls. Just seven
other foul fly balls were hit that after
noon. After missing the first one, Carisch
remarked to me that he thought it would
be a wise idea to put his mask on his
head, so as to prevent any possible ac-
cident. Eight times that afternoon did he
stagger under those fouls. and just eight
times did the ball drop to the ground in
safety: At first his efforts were regarded
seriously, and then humOrOusly. for it was
apparent to the crowd that it would be
luck alone if he did happen to catch a
fly. the wind was blowing so hard it
was utterly impossible to judge the balls
correctly.
please be careful. Mr.. Catcher; don't
get hit. or we will have to turn this ball
game into a funeral" remarked a fan
after No. had dropped safely to the
ground. The affair was as funny to
Carisch as anybody. At first he was
peeved at his efforts. but later reconciled
to his fate.
You will notice I'm taking no chances -
responded Carisch. Il haven't been d.
rectly under one yet" Then some unkind
person suggested trying a net.

Louisville called of the deal for the sale
