BILLY LUSH CLAIMS COLLEGE PLAYERS ARE
 IN BIG DEMAND NOW

Professional league baseball teams are going to call on college trained players more and more to fill their ranks in the opinion of Billy Lush, for almost a decade coach of the baseball teams at Yale and now head coach of the Columbia. University nine.
 Furthermore, according to Lush, college men are fast losing that feel ing of reserve which has kept so many university stars from enbarking on a. career in the big leagues As shining examples of the new type of profes- sional ball players. Eddie Collins, of the Athletics; Charley Sterrett, late of the Yankees; George Davis, also late of the Yankees; Jack Coombs, of the Athletics, eand a host of others are cited.
 That the college man is destined to wieId a big influence in the profes- siona1 game is due, according to Lush, to several important factors, the greatest of which is that for the four years preceding his bow into profes- sional ranks he gets a training in the national game from coaches, who are selected with as much care as the col 1ege selects professor of Greek or mathematics
 The other big factor is that college baseball is getting better every year, the competition is getting keener, and the men on the teams play better baseball. The victories which college hines have won over minor league teams is convincing evidence that the calibre of baseball played in the col Iege is already on a par with that of the minor league teams, and often times is a great deal better.
 Brown and Yale, among others, won from professional teams last spring.
 As a matter of fact the college teams are today minor league teams in a sense They have their preliminary training in championship games with all the care and a great deal more zeal perhaps than the minor league nine works through the pennant race

HARVARD STARS LOW IN STUDIES
Gilman And Hitchcock Out 0i Athletics Because Of Fac
 uIty Ruling

Harvard's faculty has come down with a heavy hand upon certain of the leading athletes, and as a resufc both the football eleven and the baas- ball nine will be more or less crippled unless the players in question make up their deficiencies on the double quick.
 The men who are at present on the outs with the college office are J. A Gilman. one of the most promiaing tackles ever seen on the. gridirous Rex Hitchcock, one of the best foot ball players in the country, and the pitcher relied upon to pilot this yearg Crimson team to victory over Xa1es F. B. Wilmington and the younger Hitchcock.
 Gilman was practically certain of e place in the crew, and Rex Hitch cock was the best man in sight for the mound in the baseball team Wilmington and the younger Hitch cock wiM not be such serious IoEsaI to Harvard athletics Both F1ftchcocE and Gilman, however, were al1-arouud athletes who could be used in mors than one sport, and Gilman was a crew candidate who was not a. little above the average.

WHY FRANK BAKER
 DOESN'T COME IN
 FOR SAM CRAWFORD
tsporting News.l


 ssFrank, play a, little deeper on Craw- ford.'' said Connie, Mack to Baker one day in Detroit after Sam had hit sharply along the third base line for a. double.
 But if play hack Connie. hen bunt.'' answered, Baker, loath to lose the argument.
 Say, any time we can make Sam Crawford resort to bunting he's for us.'' replied Connie, land that goes for any other slugger like him. You don't notice any of the third ibase- men in on top of you when you're at home run artist. .sNo-oo,'' slowly an swered Frank, 'sbut you see-''
 ssThat'H do,'' inferposed Connie, sat- ished that Baker was convinced, only would not admit it. sfsFasse
 Comics point was that any good hitter, such as Crawford and Cobb, who is going good, would be foolish to attempt to bunt. If g. player is in a slumpsuppose he has gone to bat IA or IS times consecutfve1y without a hit-then Connie would figure he might try to get on by some other means than by slugging straight away7a bunt, or playing the pitcher down to the limit with the hope of a pass anything to change his luck and bring back his confidence. But for a man who hits for so many extra bases as Crawford usually does. Connie would be glad to see him willing to try for only one, and that's why he spoke to Baker as he did. N1

Today in Pugilistic Annals.

1S96-Kid Mccoy stopped Tommy Ryan in 18th round at Maspeth, near New York City Mccoy had been Ryan's sparring partner. and had been given some hard 1acings by the Syra- cuse boxer. The Hoosier was anxious to get even. and he tricked Tommy into believing that the fight was to be very much to the hippodrome- The Kid wrote Tommy 8 letter saying he would be contented with the losers end, if it was made forty per cent, to which Tommy assented. While Ryan was loafing, Mccoy was training for the battle of his life, and from the very first round he showed himself Rya1l,s master. The speedy Mccoy made Ryan a ehopping block, and landed on him at will. In the ff- teenth Ryan was twice knocked down for the count of nine before taking the full count, and Mccoy had had his revenge.

YALE NEWS SAYS UNIVERSITY NOT
 LOSING SPIRIT

Today we are the animals in the Zoo. the exhibit in the museum. the objects under the n1icroscope,'' says The Yale Daily News in satirical comment on the criticism which has been aimed at Yale athletics recently.
 The paper prints a. poem entitled The Grads Lament ,' which was sent in by a graduate of 89 with the in formation that it expressed the feel ings of the Yale alumni toward the student body.''
 .'The News admits that Yale of to- day is not the Yale of old, but main tains that any changes which have come about have been for the best. Its comment on the poem is as fol- lows:
 sIn short, the good old days of sweatered seniors roaring with booze are OCT. Yale has become effeninate. We can see how the gentleman could easily be made to believe this-if he lived very far away, never visited the university, broke off all communica- ton with the faculty, failed to meet representative undergraduates looked at the sporting pages of a paper, saw that Yale had lost aN football game, groaned, and sentLin the above ef- fuSdoxa 2
 Studies are not so often looked up- on as necessary evil these days. He doSSSr 1AOl shIfOW ttltcle SIdduE4CoS WllO have returned to New Haven and know of conditions today are delight ed with the improvement in the moral tone of the university.
 s4Of old, Yale had force and virility. Today she has force and viri1ity plus a. certain amount of culture, apprecia- ton and refinement of taste-evident- l ly, to. the poet, lamenta'ble state of affairs-that are making her less and l less a stifleri of the individual, and more and more an inspiration for ori- ginal thought
 "In Yale teams on the field. sucz cessful or unsuccessful. in Yale under graduates in the classroom or in, the | office, OUT graduate will find the same fsolid, virile qualities that have been characteristic of those that have gone 1 before. This is not time for the croaking of the pessinist.''

COLUMBIA BOOKS
 LIKE CHAMPION IN
 BASKETBALL LEAGUE

Columbia came through a critical week in the Intercollegiate Basketball League and now stands at the top of fhe heap, with the championship prac- ticalIy clinched. EE111ey have two more games to play, both with Yale this week
 Cornell. second in the standing, also has two contests to play, with Perm syIvania and Dartmouth Granted that the Ithacans win both, they can not retain the title unless Columbia loses both games to Yale. If Cornell mould win two and Columbia lose two, then the upstate five will win the chamDionship. If Columbia should lose one, while the Ithacans win two, there will be a tie for the lead. which will have to be played off.
 Should Columbia hand Yale two defeats. the Ellis. will be tied with Princeton for third place.

POLO SEASON sTAR,TTgG ToDAY
 WILL BE GREATEST IN HISTORY

The polo season of 1914, which starts today with tournaments at the Aiken, Cal. Polo Club and the Coro-s nado, Cal. Country Club, promises to; be the greatest in the history of that sport Another international cup; match between England and the Uni- ted States. to be held in June, is of course the big feature of the program. The 1913 match, which resulted in a hard-fought victory for the Americans, only whetted the bulldog British de- termination to lift the trophy, and if the cup stays this side of the At lantic the Yankee team will doubtless have to play the game of their lives.
 With abundant financial backing, the finest bunch of polo ponies ever assembled to choose from, and the picked poloists of the empire straining every nerve to attain the goal of vic+ tory, the English team is certain to put up a fight that will be worth trav- cling many hundred miles to witness. Polo is a rich mans game, so far as playing it is concerned. but Americans are beginning to wake up to the fact that it affords a.. mighty thrilling and exciting spectacle for the onlooker.
 The tournament at Aiken, the fash iohable South Carolina resort, is scheduled to continue two weeks. and will be followed by a. meet of similar length at the Camden Polo Club, where the SOuIh0rn clfcu1C cups Will De play ed for.

 Mafty denied that he had been way. laid by Federal League agents on his way here. Matty was unusually 1ouuacious, and a newspaper cor respondent said:

Whether it will be in cash or players has not been de- @cided as yet, but at the meeting in New York next Friday a three corn cred dea1 will be put through which will probably involve the Giants, the Braves and! the Chicago club.
