Memphis, Tenn, March 3o.--Hav-
ing given, the majority of the teams
of the American, National and Fed

it strikes me that this spring has been
surprisingly productive of new mater

Bodie gettinga double and triple and
Chase double and single,
Jimmy Scott did the Sox pitching,
and had trouble directing the damp
ball. In one inning he franked four
men to first base, but only one run
scored, as he picked two fellows off
the sacks with snap throws.
Callahan seems to be long on COM
petent material for the hole at sec
ond base. Berger, Alcock and Black
burne have been playing the position
with either the firsts or seconds, and
Barbour, holding down third for the
Goofs, must also be considered.
On batting BIackburne and Bar
bour are running a dead heat for the
job, and Russell has done some &C
ceptable fielding. Barbour has had no
chance to show his ability as key
stoner, as he has been kept busy at
third.
Alcock, since going to work at Sec
ond for the main crew, has doomed
large in Galatians calculations. He
has fielded in remarkable fashion and
his batting has been much above the
mark usually attained by a Sox play
er, no great boost in itself.
Berger has been travelling at just
about the same pace he set last year
in the American League campaign.
With the heavy opposition, he must
increase his gait or be forced out of
the job.
One peculiar feature of this fight
for the middle sack is that not one
of the candidates is regular second
baseman. \Al have made their repu-

BIackburne attained fame as
shortstop, and it was in that position
he got his first trial with the Sox.
Berger was considered a phenom as
shortfielder on the coast, and AL
cock and Barbour were toppy third
basemen in thei Irrespective leagues.
Denver is bowling for Barbour and
he may be dropped there when the
seconds pass through on their way to
Chicago. The youngster was with
Lincoln in the Western League last
year and the Denverites recognize his
ability. .... ...- -..-....- -.

ANOTHER SESSION
WILL BE NEEDED
Old Board of Pardons, Unable to Com
plete Its Work Before Christmas,
Will Hold It's Final Meeting on
Wednesday, January g

AS the session of the Board of Par
dons was about to close yesterday aft
ernoon, Lieutenant Governor Reynolds
announced that owing to the fact that
all of the cases had not been consider
ed, because of the ILLNESS of Secretary
McAfee, another session will be held
on Wednesday, January 6, when all of
the business of the Board will be closed
up and nothing left for the new Board
which will come into existence on Jan
uary 10.
The last request made of the Board
yesterday was that it take up the case
of David Kaufman, the young man
who was convicted of playing the film
fam game in Harrisburg about year
ago and sent to the penitentiary
Kaufman s name was not on the reg.
ular dist, and it had been understood
that District Attorney Stroup intended
to oppose it, but he was not present
David B. Griffith, Philadelphia at.
torney, asked that the case be heard
and Lieutenant Governor Reynolds
speaking for the Board. declined to
consider it unless Mr.. Stroup was on
hand. Griffith said he would call Mr.
Stroup on the phone and have him on
haxd in short time, but after using
the phone in an adjoining room he re-
turned with the information that Mr.
Stroup was very busy on other matters
and could not be present.
1--WE are very sorry that this ease
could not be heard,' said Mr.. Griffith.
"This young man s father is waiting
for him in New York, and
Yes" broke in Lieutenant Gov
ernor Reynolds, "and there are a good
many other fathers who are waiting
on their sons whose cases have been
heard, but their cases are on the cal
endar in regular order.'.
That settled the Kaufman caCe un-
til January when it will come up as
unfinished business.
Pardons as Christmas Gifts
The pardons the Board recommend
ed will go to the Governor as soon as
the reasons can be made out, and an
effort will be made to get the men par
doned out of prison before Christmas
Day.
The board recommended Communication
of the death sentences of iMalena Mas
sa, Schuylkill, condemned to be hanged
on January 5, after he had been respit
ed five times to allow his case to be
considered; of Isaiah Crosson, Fayette,
condemned to be hanged on January Z,
and of Germania Acitelio, Clearfeld,
sentenced to the electric chair.
To Rocco Tassone, Lancaster, con
demned to be electrocuted, Communication
was denied.
Gregario Rizzato, Philadelphia, SEN
tentenced to electrocutior, was granted
a rehearing, and the cases of Raphael
Perrie, Philadelphia, and "A. s. Won
Media, granted Communication some years
ago, and now asking pardon, were held
under advisement.

every effort has been made to reach ev-

1t is recognized that school which
has had such a long career as the
Academy must necessarily have some
former students whose names are not

in the last few months, and the commit
tee earnestly hopes that, whether any
former students receive invitations or
not, they will show up at the Academy
on December 2S.
Already many of the former stu
dents have announced they will be on
hand. There will be reunions of stu.
dents who attended the Academy back
in the sixties and the seventies and the
men of the eighties and the nineties
will be out in force to show the stu
dents of the last decade that their in
terest in the old school is still strong.
The committee in charge has request
ed that former students who have not
received invitations send in their names
so that the list may be made complete.
The names may be sent to Dr. Brown
