and Yale, in which Way held the leaguers to a few scattered hits, John McGraw said some nice things about Ways ability. The games on the Yale schedule which have been played to date have more than vindicated McGraw's judgment. Way has been showing great headwork, and always does a little better in the pincheS than his average. Coach Quinby, who Is handling the Blue team, has developed a smoothly working infield, and the nine Is above the average in baseball sense; but it Is Way to whom the string of victories is most attributed.
 Neyland is the pitcher who is of Without a doubt he is entitled to rating as one of the headiest twirlers ever seen in the college ranks. He made a remarkable record last year, and has not lost game to date in spite of the fact that Harvard, Lehigh, and other strong hines have visited the reservation. The West Point team is principally recruited from the picked athletic nucleus which has been the basis for Army strength in foot ball and other sports. Merrilat, the end on the football team, whose hand ling of the forward passes was a big fall. is officiating at center field; Hobbs, right field; Britton, first base; Oliphant, catcher: and Coffing, second base, are all football veterans, while Captain Prichard, quarterback on the eleven, is playing a fast game at shortstop. Army men say that the greatest a1l-around athletic ability ever represented at the Military Academy is enrolled this year.

MCCAIN IS DUCKING
 EXPENSIVE POSITION
Sends Letters to All Players Held by
 New London.

Ball players signed up for the New London team by H.: Eugene McCanns are wondering just what Gene means For Gene has taken his pen in hand' to tell them he will see that they are taken care of even though there is to be no Eastern Association and then to tell them that if he doesn't place them by April 25, or if they cannot place themselves, he will give them uncon-- ditional releases. Naturally enough they are all crossed up and are won dering how far that T will see that you are taken care of'' stuff goes in case they do not land anything in base ball.
 MT. McCann comes out with the bland announcement that the unfortu- nate conditions in the Eastern Asso- citation has made 1t impossible for New London to maintain a team this year. Of course he says also that this un- fortunate condition of affairs is, through no fault of the New London club. He. evidently overlooks the fact that he and his paymaster did as much to put the league on the blink for good as any other one source did. Probably he figures that cince the league presi- dent took the stand that 8 man with millions could do no wrong, all the fault must lie elsewhere.
 Anyway that's the way MT. McCann puts things to the players. He says he hopes to place them and asks if they have anything in sight for themselves. In one sentence he promises they will be taken care of and that he will see to it. In another he tells them they will get unconditional releases if they are not placed somewhere by April 25.

CINDER RUNNING TRACK AT N. F. A.
Work Started Four Lap Track-W be Ready by Fall Prospects Bright for Successful Track Team-Base- ball Nine Plays at State Hospital Today.

A cinder running track which has been long contemplated at the Aca- denny will undoubtedly be ready for use next fall as a local contractor started the work of constructing one Tuesday. The track will be four laps to a mile and when completed will be a top notcher. This addition to the athletic field at the Academy has long been desired by the students and as there is at present in the school brii- liant material for track team, 1t Is bound to become a successful sport at the institution. The track will bound the campus and extend over in the rear of Principal Henry A. Tir- rell's residence.
 The Academy will send good sized delegation to the State Hospital this afternoon to witness the ball game be- tween the State Hospital team and the Academy. It is probable that Brickley and Hourigan will oppose each other. The Academy boys had a stiff practice Tuesday afternoon in spite of the hot weather and have hopes of returning home with the hos pita1 scalp.

PITCHERS DON'T WORK
 HARD ENOUGH.
Says Harry TuthiII, Trainer of Detroit
 Baseball Club.

Pitchers don't work hard enough, says Harry Tuthill, trainer of the De- troit baseball club and the Army foot ball team. They are the most luxuri- ous class in the world, he opines.
 He says they would do much better work if forced to pitch twice a week and play three other days in the out field. He declares only one days work 8. week makes great pitchers get slow and heavy.
 Then they are not able to perform in their best manner when called on,'' he continues. Some of the greater performances in history are credited to pitchers who toiled at least every oth- CT day and sometimes had to pitch ev- cry day for long stretches.
 When a manager gets hold of a good hitter 1t would do no harm to have him work in right field, where there is little to do. Outfielding is not arduous work as a rule. Sometimes an outfielder will go through a whole game without having touched the ball with his hands.
 Pitchers of today have a bad habit of thinking that there is something the matter with them. It is all inn agination. Some of them stall through g. whole season by thinking up differ ent aches and pains. Whenever they are called on to pitch there is some thing the matter with them. I tell you they are to much pampered.'

A KIDNEY REMEDY ADVERTISEMENT BROUGHT
 GREAT HAPPINESS

take pleasure in stating that have used Dr. KiImer's Swamp-Root, that I was greatly benefited by the same and have used it in my family. I had a son, when quite young he suffered from bladder or kidney af1iction. I called in my physician, he attended him but did him no good. Almost by accident noticed an advertisement about the curative properties of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. I produced bottle and gave it to him according to directions. It cured him of what we thought was almost impossible and the same with others of my family. I have such strong faith in Swamp-Root that have never done without it in my fam fly since the wonderful cure of my son as well as myself. I recommend it to all who suffer from kidney or bladder troubles and I am led to believe that it is one of the best medicines for the purpose for which it is used, that has ever been discovered.
 This is my experience from the use of Swamp-Root. Wishing the pro- motors of this wonderful medicine large sale to the suffering public, 1T am,
 Yours respectfully,

New York, April 27.-According to a statement given out today by Her man Nickerson secretary of the Bos- ton Nationals, John Evers. captain and star second baseman of the worlds s champions, is not in nearly as bad condition as has been generally un- derstood and Manager Sta1lings ex- poets him to return to the club by May II, when the western clubs make their first invasion of the east.

 Dr. Herrfty reported that the extent of Evers injury had been greatly ex- aggerated. The doctor said that only a small bone had been moved out of place and it was now back in position. Evers already is walking, though he is not putting any appreciable weight on the ankle,

 The English professional association football season closed Saturday and according to late reports from London the financial status of the players will be readjusted before schedule play is resumed. All contracts between clubs and players will expire May and the 1915-1916 contracts will show the eff feet of the war on English sports. The soccer Inagnates are drawing up a new form of agreement between player and club showing sharp re- auctions in salaries all along the line. The maximum wage of about $2O a week will be cut to $15 and $10 ac- cording to the playing ability of the men signed. In addition there will be no summer allowance except in the cases of a. five stars of the English soccer world.
