INJURED PLAYER RULE.
Only Serious Hurts Will Take Men
Off Fl Player List.

Within a short time President John
A. Tener will present rule to the
National league for approval which
viii determine under just what condi-
tions a player may be placed on the
hospital list so that he will not count
in the q player limit which was adopt
ed for this season. The large number
of injuries which are occurring make
a ruling necessary. The endeavor will,
however, be to hold as near as possible
to the spirit of the 21 player limit,
and the rule which will be presented
will be so worded that it will be i'm
possible to substitute for a player who
has received an injury of minor conse-
quence. To accomplish this a clause
will be inserted specifying a definite
period that a player once on the list
shall have to stay out of the game,
regardless of the possibility of a rapid
recovery. The period will probably be
at least a month and possibly longer.
Such a rule will make a club hesi-
tate about asking that one of the reg
ulars be placed on the hospital list I'M
less the injury really is of a character
to incapacitate him for a considerable
time. Under the old % player limit
the method of procedure was for the
club to present the request to the
league president, and he in turn re-
ferred it to the national commission.
The new rule which is being promul-
gated, however, will differ in that the
Tener.
a number of players are now on the
hospital list, among them Johnny Ev-
ers and Fred Snodgrass. The latest
application in this respect came from
Charles H. Ebbets of the Brooklyn
club in the case of Sherrod Smith.
Broken noses seem to be playing a
big part in the baseball injuries this
season. Thus far there have been five
or six, among the injured players being
Birdie Cree, Poll Perritt and, last of
all, with the worst smash, the unfortu-
nate Fred Merkle. He was just recov-
ering from a d;slocated elbow when he
went into the game against Perth Am
boy, and as a result of the broken nose
which he received then he will be out
of the game for probably ten days. The
break is said to. be much worse than
that which Perritt suffered a short
time ago. The injury to Merkle caps
the climax for the Giants. Chief My
ers is out of the game trying to heal a
split finger. SnOdgrass still has his
right hand in plaster cast as a result
of a split knuckle, and Doyle has a
sprained ankle. There are also one or
two others suffering from minor in
juries.

The Academy and the State Hospital
will meet this afternoon in the decid-
ing game of their series at the state
hospital.
The first game the schooTboys lost
by close margin, and in which Harri =
gan, the Hospital twtrler. pitched gilt
of several dangerous holes.
In the second game the Hospital
were clearly outplayed in ten-in-
ming battle.
AS Pitcher Harrigan has left the
state institution, mo Hit" Davis has
been assigned the serving duty, and
he made his debut last Saturday in a
fast game against the Fort Terry
team.
The question of Tmpires has been a
much talked topic in both camps. The
Academy absolutely will not listen to
letting Bill Austin hold the indicator,
the regular Jump at the institution, and
the Hospital will not agree to Luke
Riley.
John Hughes has been suggested,
but as a student of N. F. A he is not
eligible, although John has wide
knowledge of the game.
Joe Sullivan of Greenev11le seems to
be the candidate most fitted for this
position, having had much experience
in this line and knows baseball from
A to z.
A large delegation of students will
accompany the team in an extra car
leaving the square at 2.45. Brickley
will be on the mound for the Acad-
envy.

that very same team that Hughes had
Sunday. By the F'ftchvi1le is meant
just what the word signifies, nine
Eitchville players, and not the pick
Of New England.
We Will also challenge any team
that can possibly be found in Yantic
and give odds OF two to one on any
amount. II anyone thinks that we
haven't the backing why just give
us half a. chance to prove it.
1t was stated in The Bulletin that
it was such players that were hurting
the game and receiving the money
from the fans, whereas 1t is just such
managers as Strttch and Hughes, who
are getting the money and not the
players. We don't play the game for
money, in fact. we don't even get our
expenses. We play for the sport of the
game. And If we can arrange a game
with either team which calls US quit
tiers. for a good big side bet. we will
not charge admission or pass the hat,
but we will even serve refreshments
free during the game. The only thing
we are sorry for is disappointing such
a large crowd of spectators.

MARHEFkA VISITS M'cANN.
Springfield CoIoniaIs May Lose Good
Player.

Tony Marhefka, third baseman for
the New London team last year, Joined
Manager Ramsey's Springfield club the
other night but it begins to look as
though there was not enough glue to
the Joint" Tony went down to New
London to see Gene Mccain. Now
Gene, as manager of the New London
club last season. is not any too we'll
pleased with the invasion of the Fed
era1 leagues minor branch in this Sec
ton. and the fact that he Immediately
got in touch with Marhefka and invit-
ed him to go down to New London be-
fore Tony even played one game with
Springfield is not a bit cheering to the
present Colonial situation in Spring
field. MarhefkaS going will not break
up the team. Manager Ramsey can get
other good men, but the uncertain con-
dition of Marhefka's mind reveals
condition in Colonial league affairs
that can hardly be called a blessing.
There are other tickle men.
New London sold Marhefka to SYRIA
cuse of the New York state league
probably because it figures the Eastern
association will get going next year,
and in that case Syracuse would send
Marhefka back to the New London
team. If Marhefka were sold to an
International league team and made
good there, New London would have
job getting him back. Buffalo, fdon-
treal and Toronto all have bid for the
International league, and it may be
that the conference with Mccain
concerned Tony's prospects in
that direction. Mccain would be max
ing diplomatic move in robb1ng a
Colonial club of such a fast man. Mar
hefka's luggage is still in Springfield.
In fact, he wired Manager Ramsey he
would return, but there is as much
chance for believing that Mccain will
argue him out of playing as there is
that he will decide to stay.

FitchviIIe Players ExpJain.

In a letter to the Sporting Editor
the Fitchville players who cut Man
ager Stritch of the Yant1c team cold,
Sunday at the Cranberry. in the game
with the Nationals, have the follow
ing statement to make:
To the Sporting Editor and All Who
Witnessed the Yantic- Nationals Game
Sunday-We wish to state the reasons
why we refused to play the remainder
of the game and we think that the
public will not only agree. but will up
hold US in our judgment AS every
one knows Gavitt started to pitch for
US and he was hit hard, and the Ma
tionals scored eight runs.
With eight runs, three men on bases
and no one out, Maria was called
upon to pitch. Some position to put
q. man in without having a chance
to warm up. He made a, fine showing
striking out two men, Then the Ma
tionals did secure two hits off Maria,
but that was nothing to crow about,
as he was just beginning to warm
up But then when our manager, Mr..
Stritch, told Maria to play short as
he was going to pitch Tracy, we
thought it about time we taught him
little about the game.
We think Saturdays game was a
fair example of Marra's ability against
the Nationals, as they secured only
one hit and only one man reached
third. And then to think that Stritch
benched Maria to pitch Tracy and
the Nationals with about ten runs in
the lead. we thought it was about
time to do something.
We have since heard that it was all
planned by Stritch and Manager
Hughes that the series was to go the
limited three games. Hereafter If
Stritch wants to throw game he need
not try to get any Fitchville players
to play, as we are always out to win.
1t was a fine state of affairs when
we arrived at the Cranberry to find
the grounds occupied by another team
after all the noise about the Yantic-
Nationals game on the Cranberry Sun
day to think that Hughes had not
even secured the grounds for us to
play on.
If. however, the public thinks that
we quit because we were outpfayed,
we. the Fitchville team, will challenge

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET EXTREMELY DULL.
Trading, Which Was of Professional
Character, Fell Off so Per Gent.

New York, May 25.-The most con-
spicuous feature of today's stock mar
ket was it's extreme apathy. Compared
with the previous day, trading dimin-
ished over so per cent. Another fea
ture Of the session was it's plainly pro-
fessional character, there being an
absolute absence of public inquiry.
Dealings were again limited to the
so-called war Specialties, with the diff
ference, however, that this group man

this tone was maintained, subject to
slight changes, until this afternoon,
when gradual recessions took place in
all branches Of the list. The move
ment began with an abrupt break in
Rock Island, following news from
merce commission would resume its
investigation into the financial affairs
of that system.
Final prices showed net losses of one
to two points in a number of issues,
including United States Steel, Reading
and st. Paul.
In the early dealings such shares as
Republic Steel common and preferred,
Pressed Steel Car, American Can and
some of the Coppers and motors made
gains of one to three points. In the
case of the first named this advantage
was soon lost, because of the failure of
the Republic Steel directors to take
expected action on the preferred stock.
Foreign and domestic developments
were of a nature to give the market
pause. Gables from London told of
the poor success of the new capital
undertakings and bore intimations of
an unfavorable aspect regarding the
tone of Gerrnany's reply to this gov
eminent. Revival of the Mexican sit
uation and possibility of an extra ses-
sion of congress were among the adj
verse home conditions. The optimistic
views of the president of the United
States Steel corporation, as reported
from the Pacific coast, failed to arouse
interest in steel shares.
Total sales of stocks amounted to
264,000 shares.

DECIDING GAME AT STATE HOSPITAL
With the Academy This Afternoon Davis and

Umpne-Stueent Delegation VIII Accompany Academy
Team.

North Carolina team before coming TO
Yale.
1t is expected here that the matter
will be settled amicably before the
game with the Tigers on Saturday.
1t is said that Yale admits Hanes
played with the southern university.
He played his first year there as a
substitute and the second season as a
regular. If his playing as a substi-
tute is construed to constitute years
work on a varsity nine, Yale men said
tonight that he would probably be de-
barred from playing against both
Princeton and Harvard under the
terms of the three year rule agree
ment.
Hanes was largely responsible for
Yale's victory over Harvard in the
deciding game last year, when he
knocked a, home run with the bases
filed. In the deciding Princeton game
he got three Of the Blues four hits.

II Princeton university had issued a
special invitation to all the rowing
Bharps and authorities on this special
ty Of aquatic sport, there could not
have been a greater representation Of
the fraternity than assembled at the
boathouse of Old Nassau re-
Gently preceding the varsity
race between Princeton, Cornell and
Yale. The question was not who was
present, but who was absent. The ex-
perts from all the points of the COM
pass were in attendance, and the va
rious status Of the crews were dis
cussed, opinions expressed, and the
possibilities of what might occur at
month were figured out and laid aside
for future reference.
The Bulldog was a big surprise,i all
right, as the sharps had placed Yale
for sure third.
It was fortunate for the Princeton
boys that the race was held on Lake
Carnegie instead OF at other points, as
the amount of good hard cash dropped
by the Orange and Black would have
necessitated the Tiger lads to have
counted the railroad ties on their hike
back to the classic environments of Old
Nassau.
The race was not an illustra-
ton of what Princeton could do. but
an exhibition of what she could not do
when she meets classy crews. AS a
Princeton alumnus informed the writ
er, Old Nassau WIS not out for sport,
not for business. Judging by Satur-
days results, the Tigers must have
secured the sport end and the Ellis the
business end of the argument. How
ever, Princeton is dead game, win or
lose, SO We will have to let it go at
that though wishing her luck for fu-
ture development along practical lines.
The ithaca crew, though good, was
a ten day pickup aggregation. That
ss. the crew was a composite one, hav-
ing only rowed together ten times
No. 8 was last years Junior crew
stroke. He was assisted by two of last
years varsity and five new men who
were placed to make up the requisite
number to complete the eight. A lit
tie moro practice would have done the
Ithaca lads a world of good and made
them a possible winner. Although
Courtney was absent in body, he was
present in spirit, as the old time
courtney ginger was in evidence and
the customary Cornell jump was right
on the end of the oar blades. If this
crew was only a pick up, as John
HoyIe informed the writer, what the
regular one will be we can only sur
mise.
As for Old Yale's victory, it was
positively an eye opener. None had
counted on the Blue showing I'D so
we'll at this stage of the game. Cor
nell was down for place close to the
front, with Princeton a possible win
ner- Courtney's boys might nose out
at the finish, was figured out by the
experts, but Yale was never consider
ed winner. Possibly a submarine
may have hit the Tiger boat during
some part of the race and knocked the
speed out of the eight However. as
no perlscope was visible on the course,
the torpedo may have been fred from
the bank If Guy Nicka1ls develops the
Ellis along the lines he is now essaying
to work out, good night, Johnnie Har-
ward, at New London next month, all
right.
