At a meeting of the Athletic Associ-
alton last Friday it was decided to or
ganize base ball team and also track
team. Finley Porter has been elected
captain of HE ball team and Wendell
Atkeson captain of the track team, al
though it may be too late for some of
the older students to develop much skill
on the track or on the field it will be
excellent work for the Freshmen and
Sophmores who should develop an ex-
cellent base ball and track team by the
time they are in their Junior and Sen
ior years.

and swiped two bases. Of course, the
catchers in the coast league are not
packing major arms, but those two
stolen bases were bright bits of work.
They prove concIusively that his
injured leg has healed properly and
his work will reflect his good con-
dition.
Ellis Johnson, the young right
handler from Racine, twirled four in
nings against the Coasters and allow
ed four hits. The tall fellow is strong
once more and has as good chance
as any of the recruits of landing
regular job. Lathrop pitched the last
five innings and was mauled.' He
hasn't control and won't do until he
acquires it.
The Sox seconds played like the
mid-season first team. They made
three hits against Los Angeles yester-
day and were licked, 6 to l..
Eddie Cicotte yesterday signed his
Sox contract, and Hal Chase is now
the only man out of the fold.
The FederaIs are using the old
army conditioning stunts and will do
nothing but routine work for several
days. Tinker will be unable to- get
practice games with many teams be-
cause of the ban placed on him by
organized ball. The Chifeds and Nor
decai Browns st. Louis crew will put
on some exhibition games later.
Farrell, the Chicago lad, who play
ed second with the Chifeds last year,
is being used at that position in prac-
tice.
Hank o'Day is still Iaboring with
his flock of cratic pitchers in an eff
fort to set them up for the series of
games which begin with the Athletics
tomorrow.
Heinie Zim, the WeII-known boil
farm, has given vent to another sore

team leaves Tampa.

Feds.
Ed Sweeney, who was looked on as
a certainty for some Fed team, has
been signed by the New York Yanks,
according to information given out by
Ban Johnson.
George StoVaII, manager of the K.
G. Feds, and scout for the other clubs
in the circuit, is down around Tampa.
The former Brown denied he was aft
er any Cub players, but said he came
to talk to Williams and Baumgardner,
pair of Browns who signed with the
Feds and then jumped back to their
first love.
President Gilmore will keep-a sharp
eye on the camps of organized base:
ball, and will make strong bid for
some of the recruits turned back to
the minors by the big leaguers. Gil
more figures that many good young
sters are sent back because they do
not get fair chance, and believes he
will be able to pick up some good
material for his league.
All the big bugs of organized base
ball and the powers of local politics
were on hand last night at the ban
quet given to President Comiskey,
Manager Callahan and the Sox play
ers who went around the world.
The affair was a love feast, and
Comny was toasted as the strongest
power in the game, and one of the
men who made It the clean sport it is,
when played on the diamond, and not
across table.
The expressions of Garry Herr
mann and Ban Johnson indicated
they were mighty glad that Commy
has reached home to have a hand in
the fight on the Feds. The game was
getting too big for those two execu-
tiVeS.

THE House of Bondage" white
slave picture produced at the
skating rink the latter part Of
last week attracted large crowds
of people. Many came from
Portland TO see the pictures that
had not been permitted TO APP

twenty-eight autos and a NUM-
Der Of motorcycles were tied
up" around the rink at one
time while their owners were
viewing the production inside.
How the pictures could fail to
pass the Portland board of CEN
sorship is difficult 10 understand
by those who viewed the pic
lures, since il is said that pic
lures meriting the disapproval
of the censors much more than

frequently in that city. As a
matter of fact the pictures were
quite tame" and could produce
objection only on the part Of
those who disapprove of any
picture presenting any phase of
white slave life. The pictures
really were of some educational
value, even though the case de-
picted was AN extreme one. Il

According to action of the
city council Tuesday evening,
the mayor and city attorney
were authorized and instructed
10 draft an ordinance providing
for the creation of board of
censorship in ST. Johns for tho
purpose of passing judgment
upon moving pictures, vaude-
willie stunts. bill board adorn-
ments, etc. The measure has
its good points. even il incon-
venient and expensive TO the
moving picture houses. But
since the pictures shown here
have as rule been passed 10y
the National board of ccnsors
and also the Portland board, il
might be somewhat difficult TO
decide by any body of people
what would be Objectionable and
what would not. What appeals

The decisions of the two boards
OF censorship does not appear
satisfactory To some people.
Would a hundred board come
any closer 20 universal satisfac-
tion? But we believe il is not
SO much the moving pictures
that the petitioners are concern
ed about, Ii is the vaudeville |

casionally. II is said. and the |
