Umpire Billy Evans tells this story il7 Sporting News
 Pete Compton. formerly an out fielder with the St Louis Browns is one of those good natured Texans who takes life easy, but Inc is dangerous when he gets riIed. In this connection I always have to laugh at a reanaT k Pete made to Umpire Jack Egan in d game at Detroit last year, Pete had been warming the bench at the time, and was doing the coaching in an at tempt to earn his salary
 A play came up at the plate. Pete failed to agree with the decision, and came up from third to so express him self. although he was in mo position to sec just what had happelled at the plate. Had not the runner missed the plate four or five inches he would have been safe, as he was touched late. but Pete didn't know this.
 Egan listened to Pete's rawlings for a while, then informed him that unless he hastened back to the coaching lines at first. his check would be minus. a hundred when his pay day rolled around Egans was kidding. but the idea of losing $1OO in real money brought Pete back to earth. Looking Egan square1y in the eye, he answer- ed
 Tn Texas they kill people for doing less than that
 Remember you are now in Michi- gan," replied Egan, fsbut don't think I need fear your gun, if you shoot as we'll as you see plays Pete re sumed coaching and the fine of $10o was called of.

Negotiations for the play off Of the tie for the intercollegiate basketball championship by Columbia and Cor nell remained unchanged yesterday and it is now almost certain that even if the game is scheduled, which is doubted, it will not be played until Wednesday of next week and that it will take place in a. New York city ar1nory. either in the Twenty second or Seventy first regiment, rather than at the University of Pennsylvania. ac- cording to Harry Fisher.
 The situation regarding the post season game was further complicated by the Cornell faculty, which. accord ing to a letter which Ralph Morgan. secretary of the Intercollegiate Bas- ketba1I League, received from G. Erwin Kent, graduate manager of ath- 1etics, is undecided whether to permit the Ithacans to play off for the title.

MANY INJURIES
 IN YANKEE CAMP
Manager Chance Has Many Cripples and Fears Weak
 Throwing Outfield.

Houston, Tex, March 1z.-Another stnorther'' swept down upon the Yam kees yesterday, driving them to the shelter of their hotel and forcing the postponement of their scheduled game with the Houston Texas 1eaguers.
 Another invalid was added to the already fornidable hospital list when Jimmy Eschen reported a rather severe attack Of grip. Channels weak back, though swathed in a ten yard strip of woolIen bandage, is develop ing another series Of kinks because of the cold weather. .Dode" Criss' lame ankle is more painful for the same reason ,and Charley Roses shou1- der is stiffer than ever.
 Just as soon as the former Western 1eaguer's back has recovered it's nor maI strength and supp1eness Chance proposes to investigate thoroughly the weak arm rurnors that have been afloat ever since Channel was signed by the Yankees.
 Frank Gdlhoo1ey is to be put on trial at the same time. The athlete whose acquisition cost the Yankees s12, 900 is a sensational fielder. hitter and run ner, but he, too. is thought to be a weak thrower. His arm is true enough and he gets a ball away from him well, but his pegs d@ not carry far enough to warrant the be1ief that he will throw out very many men at the plate.

It's All Here
GO 4,OOO MILES
 TO SIGN SLAYER
Giant President Will Rush to California to Sign Much
 Wanted Infielder.

The Giants are 50 much alarmed at Tilly Shafers decision to quit baseball that President Hempstead is going to California to see if he can persuade the third baseman to change his mind. MT. Hampstead expects to be gone about a month, and will be back in time for the opening of the season.
 The trip to LOS Angeles is a record jaunt for a club owner to make to land one player. N This season the major league club owners have chased all over the country in order to save their players from the Federal League, but this is the first time that a club presi- dent has taken trip of 4,O00 miles to keep one ball player in line
 w hen the club decided to trade Her zog to Cincinnati, it had assurance that Shafer would fall into line Her. zog would not have been traded if the club had known of Shaferss inten- ton of quitting. Last year Shafer signed ,athree years contract, but he has not let that interfere with his in- tentions.
 MT. Hempstead believes that after he has had a talk with Shafer and his father in Los Angeles. perhaps lilly will change his mind and come back for another season, at least. Shafer has no grievance of any kind with the Giants. but he is whimsical and knows that he doesn't have to play ball un- less he wants to.
