EASTERN COLLEGES TO
GIVE NO LEEWAY TO
SUMMER BASEBALLISTS

New York, Mar. 1S.-That the status
of the collegian who plays summer
baseball will remain unchanged at
the leading Eastern colleges and uni
versities appears certain from recent
statements issued by those in positions
of authority. Notwithstanding that a
number of varsity team captains have
publicly stated their belief that
student may play baseball for money
or other inducements during summer
vacation and still preserve his anna
teur athletic status while in college,
these Utopian days are not for the
present world of undergraduate sport.
A consensus of opinion among the
athletic governing bodies; university
faculties and prominent amateur ath-
letic authorities shows an overwheim-
ing majority against the innovation
which would permit baseball player
to Jump from amateur to professional
ranks and back again according to the
calendar of his college. A recent cam
yass of the institutions whose baseball
teams appear on the Amherst sched-
ule, undertaken by the official organ
of that institution, indicates that OF
eleven colleges including Yale, Harry
ard, Princeton, Dartmouth, Williams,
Wesleyan, Columbia, Brown and Y.
NJ C. A. Colleges but two, Tufts and
Massachusetts Agricultural College,
favor summer baseball. Three colleges,
Yale, I. NJ. C. A College and Tufts
are non-committal and have taken no
definite stand. while six colleges, name
ly Harvard Princeton, Dartmouth,
williams, Wesleyan and Columbia,
have definite rules prohibiting summer
baseball. The Harvard authorities call
attention to the fact that Harvard
has entered into no agreement to per-
NIT summer baseball, in spite of re-
ports to the contrary. based on the
opinions of the team Captains, that
Yale, Harvard and Princeton contem-
plated such an agreement.
Dean La Baron r. Briggs quotes the
Harvard rule governing the case, as
follows:
mo student who has played on any
semi professional nine or in any such
so-cal,ed summer baseball nine, shall
represent the University in any public
athletic contest until he has received
special permission from the commit
tee. ANY trifie or merely technical vio-
lation of this rule, shall be judged on
its merits by the committee"

distance was bad. Baldwin made a
good showing.
Boxing matches scheduled for the
opening of a new athletic club at East
Greenwich, near Providence r. l.,
Tuesday were prohibited by the police

skowHEeAN JERSEY CREAMERY.

community cannot but succeed. AS
manager. E. E. Harris has caused a
steady growth of the creamery since he
became connected with it in 1896,
though he began as manager five
years later The present officers are:
President, ]. w. Packard; Sec. and
Treas. Elmer f. Harris; directors, T.
D. SalIey, Madison; r. F. Homestead
of Skowhegan: L. L. Smith of Corn
vile: George II. Foster of Canaan;
George B. Wing, who has been a direc-
tor since the organization of the cream
cry, resigned at the last annual meet
ing
An interesting development in the
work of this creamery is that there is
a tendency TO raise better stock. Many
of the farmers are getting into their
herds pure-breds and most all new
patrons that start a herd are starting
with thoroughbreds. The creamery is
made up largely Of Jersey and Guern-
sey cows. but there are also other
breeds that are meaning much to the
farmers, such as the Ayrshires. Hol-
stems and In some eases the Short
horns. The farmers who have these
are altogether raising nothing but
full-hioods and il is here that these
breeds, though not as rule reckoned
as cream stock are bringing excellent
results because the most is obtained
from the best stock.
Farmers are becoming neater about
their barns and they are taking bet
ter care of their stock They study
the cows and the most successful pat
ron of the creamery today is the farm
er that watches to see how a certain
ration works with his milk production.
He weighs his milk each time and
works out the best ration for the COW
at the various times of the year.
The creamery now has Is different
routes and covers a radius of 40
miles from Skowhegan on nearly ev-
cry road and during the past eight
years a milk and cream team has
been run by the creamery around
Skowhegan village by George Pad
dack. proving q satisfactory addition.
With the steady increase that this
institution is making, additions will
be necessary. 1t has been said of late
that the farmers of this vicinity are
more prosperous than ever before and
considering that dairying is a most
important factor any increase of
buildings necessary to carry on the
business will be welcomed by all.

Skowhegan, Me-, March 2.-tSpeciaD.
Farmers of this vicinity learned by
the annual report of the Skowhegan
Jersey Creamery that by their Coop
Grafton they have made the largest in
dividual creamery business in the
State and the largest outside of one in
the lower part of the State, and the
value that this business has attained
has made this institution foremost of
all agricultural pursuits in this section.
From a small business that started
as a creamery Feb. 13, 1884, with 1S
farmers when cream was measured by
the inch in the can a business of $780,
900 that goes directly to the farmer
now exists. The creamery now has
800 patrons, coming from all the towns
surrounding Skowhegan. The annual
report of the creamery recently given
shows that there was an increase OF
business last year of about $4,000 over
the previous year; and an interesting
thing Is that this phase of farming
is becoming paramount throughout the
county. George II. Foster of Canaan.
