Charles H. Ebbets, ST., has remained
calm in the face of the forays of the
Federals among his players. but now
they have committed deed which
in the opinion of the Squire of Flat
bush outrages the laws of civilized
baseball warfare. Columbus day has
been captured by the outlaws.
James A. Gilmore announced yes
terday that the Tip Tops would play
at home on October L. Although the
great Italian navigator gets the chief
credit for the holiday which bears his
name Mr. Ebbets is entitled to an as
sist. 1t was by his efforts that 1t was
put into the schedule of the National
League for two years, and only
against his frantic protests was the
schedule shortened.
There was a grim look in the eyes
of Mr.. Ebbets yesterday when he
heard the news that Columbus day
had jumped.
Later on he was observed hysteri-
cally turning the pages of an encyclo-
pedia of proper names. 1t is rumored
that Ralph Waldo Emerson will be
the next to have a double-header day
named in his honor.

the sophomore class. Of which Link

alternated with Carter last year as
catcher, is the strongest candidate.
while Salmon, of the scrubs, and
Douglas and Kelleher, of the last
years freshmen. will push him hard.

men reported, and five catchers.
Chaplain, who pitched phenomenal
ball for the Hill school, Is the best
