THERE MAY NOT Be ANY BASEBALL
WAR, But THE SALE OF MAGEE TO
BOSTON LOOKS LIKE A war MOVE
BY HAL SHERIDAN.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.--Organiz-
ed baseball is still waging war on
the Federals. This was plainly
evidenced by the trading of Sher-
wood Magee by the Phillies to the
Braves. The Phillies were not
very anxious to lose Magee and
1t Is doubtful II Boss Stallings OF
the worlds champions could of
fer enough men in exchange to
make the Phillies' management
make the trade just for the
trades sake. But Magee was
about ready to hop to the Feds
and the Phillies decided to their
part in the war on the OUTLAWS
by trading the star outfielder to
the Braves. 1t was pretty GER
tain Magee wouldn't jump from
the worlds champions to the
Feds.
The National league moguls-
and their Americans brothers too
profess to be ignoring the Gill
more organization. But when they
make deals like the Magee swap
-an out and out war move---it
is pretty certain that organized
baseball is worrying a little. y
Magee will come in mighty
handy up Boston way at that.
Stallings has need of a star gard
ener of the brand of the Phillies'
crack. Magee is a terrific hit
ter against either right or left
hand pitching. All last season
Stallings had to juggle his out
field around. He had fair hit
tiers against lefthand pitchers who
were weak against right-handers
and others vice versa. He did
not have real slugger in the out
er garden. Magee is pretty GER
tain of regular berth with the
champions.

Bonds will remain in Tacoma,
and will train daily. Corbett gave
him minute instructions for train
ing, advising him earnestly in the
use of his left hand. Between
now and summer Bonds will stay
here. training consistently and
picking up what bouts are offer
ID. When Corbett comes, they
will determine where to begin
their crusade against heavy
weights Of national reputation.
Bonds must have championship
possibilities, or Corbett would
never have tied up with him. The
big boxer has too good a reputa-
ton among fight fans to risk II
by picking q poor boxer. For
that reason, local fans believe
earnestly that Bonds will climb
we'll up the heavyweight ladder,
and may become champion of the
world. Bonds Is too modest to
admit Il.
"Of course, think Corbett saw
something In my boxing, or he
would not have signed up with
me-" said Bonds today. II believe
he thinks that with a lot of train
ing, l might go up against some
Of the best boxers in the ring.
whether or not l could beat q
worlds champion, though, Is q
question too far off to be consid-
ered ut present"
NoN only has Corbett seriously
signed contract with Bonds, but
the former champion has arrang-
Cd financial details so generously
that Bonds will not feel called
upon to box between now and
summer, 30 far as the money end
OF hisework Is concerned.

Of college against college never
has nor ever will produce athletes
save few rare specimens and the
benefit chiefly is In gate receipts
and in brief periods of advertis-
ing.
Fully so per cent of the men
who played football on our larger
college teams last fall were not In
college to gain educations but to
play football.
This may hurt the sensibilities
of some of the athletic leaders
but every undergraduate knows
II and in every college 1t is COM
mon talk.
The football man as a rule Is
a Joke az a student.
The Andover idea is to have
as many of the actual students
engaged in sports and pastimes
as possible; to cut out contests
with other institutions and to
promote college spirit class spirit
and improve the physical body of
the students, though games play
ed between societies, classes or
other parts of the student body.
e We will miss the spectacular
contests and, perhaps, the ath-
letic departments will miss the
income - but II we. want pure
college sports, pure amateurism
and the athletic advancement of
the entire student body the An
dover idea furnishes the only So

At the meeting football was

defense came chiefly from the

that the opposition to the game
arose chiefly from schools that
