 Wisconsin has lost some valuable material. and Chicago has suffered 9 cut here and there. Michigan has nothing but a skeleton eleven left, and Minnesota has been riddIed- Illinois is fairly well satisfied. but Purdue. with O1iphant drafted by West Point has seen few rays Of light. Indiana started with new coach and some cracking good football players. while Metre Dame is saving wood and getting ready for one of the hardest seasons tp its history.
 Northwestern has taken the Yale Cure with two coaches who acquired their skill with the Ellis. Coach HawIey is again in charge of the team at the University of Iowa, and he has started out with fair prospects. Coach Stiehn has had to build up an almost new team at the University of Nebraska. average, according to reports from the Cornhuskers, camp.

BALL PLAYERS COLLECT MANY
 SOUVENIRS.

latest figures show that the little light handler has ssbeaned'' thirteen bats men.
 Chief Bender of the Athletics Is sup posed to possess good control. but Ben der,s average of bases on balls to a game is three and six eIevenths.
 Contrary to the popular belief the leading left handlers of the circuit have shown better control than the right handlers. Dutch Leonard of the Boston Red Sox gave only forty seven bases on kalls in 18s innings.

WHEN PITCHER sALLEE's MIND
 WAS NOT ON GAME.

A GROUP Of baseball players were
 discussing left handlers the other day, and as they ranged from Walden to Benton and Sallee they agreed that the man who pitches with his wrong arm is always the possession of eccen- trio moods. Slim Sallee was working against fhe Giants on q Saturday aft ernoon at the Polo grounds" said one member of the group. "and in the sev- enth inning the Giants filled the bases and needed only one run to tie A ball was hit to Sallee, but instead of throw ing the hall to the plate and forcing a man he hurled it to first. When he got back to the bench the rest of the play CTS began to ride him and accused the pitcher of having been rattled by fhe shouts of the crowd.

THE EFFECTS OF
A SPELLING BEE

Be prepared to take very
shortly the seat you just va
Gated.
The word is familiar one
but it never seemed so stub
born before.
Of course you can spell it
if you had the second trial.
The pronouncer slightly
'lisps." Sure, but the mistake
is yours.
Have plenty throat room, SC
in trying to swallow your
tongue, you may not choke.
If you wear a number six
shoe, had better borrow two
sizes larger, as the feet may
swell.
A hot wave may strike your
cheek. Don't get excited. 1t is
Just the "feller" next to you
that has exhausted all of his
forces.
Webster never began the
study of the English language
until after Fl years of age. You
have the same advantages.
Do not go home and slam the
front door or kick over the coal
bucket; you are not the only
one that showed your weak
spot.
If you spell it m (h)ule, no
harm done. Just twist it's tail
and you will find it, the same
familiar animal with it's heels.
1t will hurt of course, but will
soon heal over, when you real
ize that only about fifteen per
cent of the people spell at all
correctly.
A weak and shaky sensation
will creep up your limbs and a
large lump about the size of a
football will arise in YOUR
throat, but push it back. The
second attack will come after
you cool off.
Look the pronouncer square
in the eyes and bite the inside
of your lower lip. With the APP
pearance of the blood, the "fel-
low" next to you may lose his
equipoise.-Jessamine News.
