ORGANIZED BASEBALL OWES GRATITUDE TO
 FIERY JOHNNY EVERs

If ever a ball player should be ap- preciated Johnny Evers is the man The moguls of organized baseball owe a lot to this brainy little Trojan, in fact he has done more good for the game than any other living player. By good it is not meant his playing alone, but his general faithfulness- off the ball field
 When the Federal forces were try ing to secure Evers, the sterling little second sacl1er acted the gentleman by giving the O. B. men first call up on his services. It is true he got 3 raw deal in Chicago, yet he did not place the blame of one man upon the whole league. He used his head. Nu- merous other things have been ac- comp1ished by Evers, including his coming to the front in Troy and saving the York State team, representing the Collar City by purchasing. 3, few shares in the club.
 Evers could have used the money he invested in the Troy club to other advantages, no doubt, but his loyalty again. cropped up, and despite the fact that it is regarded as one of the 1ean- est years financially in baseball, he displayed his gameness by going to the front for the o. B. ranks and frightened out another muddy-1ook- ing deal.

TOM THORP MAY
 COACH COL BlA
 FO0TBALI SQUAD

New York, June 1e-Present ind1- cations point to the selection Of Tom Thorp as coach. of the Columbia Uni vazsity football team when the grid iron sport is resumed at the Morn ingside college next fall. Thorp was one Of the greatest tackles who ever represented the Blue and White, and there is pronounced sentinaen among Columbia men favorIng his seIec4ons This is particularly true of Co1nnrbia's old football warriors, who are especfa1ly well qualified to appreeiate the ability of Thorp in such work.
 The belief is general that the ap- po1ntnnent under the new order of thfngs should go to CoFum bia man, and Tnorp is undoubtedly one of the best qualified to undertake the re- sponsfbility of shaping a. high-cal1bre team
 In his undergraduate days Thorp stood as one of the foremost tackles of the country, and in a time when rough football was so prevalent acted we'll the spirit of good sportsm anship. which won him friends among his foes. During his first year at Co., Irn1b1a TheFp was ineligible to rep resent the university because of the one-year eligibility rule, he having however; volunteered his services in helping develop a team. and the next year won a. country wide reputation as tacls1es In 1905 Thorp was elected captain Of the Columbia team Not a year during his playing career was he overlooked in the se- Iections of an a1I-American team, and in 1908 was the choice of Walter Camp for the tackle position

ZBYSZKO DOWNS GIANT FRENCHMAN
 IN FIERCE BOUT

New York, June, 10.-Waldek Zbysz- ko, the young Polish Hercules, reg istered the most popular victory to date in the international Greeco-Ro man championship wrestling tourna- ment at the Manhattan Opera House last night, when he defeated tho French giant, Pierre Le Colosse,4 iii the feature bout of a long program. The bout was scheduled to go to a dn- ish, and it was Az minutes and g sec- onds after the opening of hostilities, before the Polish youngster succeeded in putting the 300 pound and very tr- ritab1e Frenchman to the mat for the first time in this tournament. Two defeats were marked against Le Go Iosse, but one avs through disqualif1- cation.
 The massive Frenchman escaped disqualification last night only because he was downed by Zbyszko. It is not stretching a point to say that he had been warned fifty times by Referee Bathner to refrain fire fouling, and 1t was while arguing with Bathner that the Frenchnan was caught off guard and forced to yield to side roll from an armlock.

LOVE THE UMPIRE
 IS HARVARD SLOGAN

Teaching one of the commandments to the Harvard varsity baseball team is one of the tasks that Percy D. Haughton, the new head coach at Cambridge, has succeeded in doing
 Love the umpire and let him a1one,'' has been Haughton's command, and not only have the Harvard players kept out of all controversies with the arbiters, but the students in the stand have learned that umpire batting is frowned on by Haughton, and there are no groans forthcoming whenever it seems as if Harvard gets the wrong end of a decision.
 The Harvard Crimson, yesterday lent it's support to the Haughton policy by putting in a few words for the um- Ipire. The college paper, in rising to his defence, says:
 According to comic sIpplen ent tra- ditions, an umpire is a species of rep tile, oozing with venom, and warped with ahtred for one or both teams in a ball game. Therefore the Slogan of all right-minded partisans is .KiH the umpire, on all available occasions
 Nobody loves him, and no matter what he says, he hurts somebody's feelings. He is there to earn his Iiv- ing as competentIy as he can and he it not eaten with hatred for anybody. What is the use of the futile demon strations against his decisions? The stands may well follow the example of the members of the team in contrast to some, of our more hot-headed op- DOnents ''

YALE RESUMES
 ROWING AFTER
 POISON ATTACK

New London, Conn.,, June 10- Coach Nickalls was given a scare on Tuesday night when his oarsmen at Ya1e's training quarters were attack ed with ptomaine poisoning. Several of the varsity oarsmen were in great distress at midnight, and Payne Whit ney's launch Tarpon was hustled down to New London at top speed for a physician. It is thought the pois- oning was caused by eating tainted boiled cod and green peas.
 The men on the sick list were Sur tevant, Converse, Morse, McLane. aWiman, Hyatt, James, Sheldon. Schwartz Seward, Coombe, Coleman and Glover.
 The rowing yesterday was broken up by the illness of the men and one crew, the varsity second eight. was the only one that ventured out for practice

 Larry's fall from grace took place in Chicago. McGraw informed Larry that he had full Knowledge of his ess capade and suspended him for the re- mainder of the season. Larry at first had some hot words with Me Graw and denied his guilt
 However. after thinking the matter over, Larry decided tha the had bet ter square accounts with his chief. so he visited McGraw and in a very penf- tent mood he made al clean breast of his affair. McGraw agreed to be lenient with Larry and condensed his susp to ten days.
 Larry was to get g. bonus if his conduct was good until July l. Mo Graw promised Larry that if he be- haved and was a good boy during the remainder of the season McGraw would see that Larry got his bonus.

TANKS FALL
 BEFORE WHITE
 SOX SLUGGERS

New York, June 10.-The Chicago White Sox, including Clarence Roy land, their new manager, and the re- doubtable Eddie Collins, in their first appearance of the season here, sound ly trounced the Iighlanders before 5000 fans yesterday. The White Sox. once renowned as the ''hitless won ders,'' made life quite miserable for Wild BilI'' Donovan and his athletes by pounding the ball all over the lot and parading over the plate fifteen times. The Highlanders never got within ninety feet of the same home plate.
 From the great exhibition Of Ty Cobbing by the visitors and the fine work of Eddie Cicotte it can be seen why the club led by the manager that Comiskey dug out of a small western town is leading the American league.
 And you don't need a microscope to discover why Jennings, Cobb, CFaw- ford and the other Tigers will have to do some tall hustling to beat the White Sox out for the pennant and a chance to participate in the big show in October.
 There has been some fine pitching delivered at the Polo Grounds this season, but there has been none bet ter than that which Cicotte served up to the HighIanders yesterday. The knuckfe ball tWister was as stingy with his hits as Harry Lauder, a Scotchman, is with his bank roll and only one Highlander managed to got as far as second base.

 Critics have been predicting that the Philadelphia Nationals would nev- CT stand the pace and would be bur jed in the second division by June 1. But the PhiIlies for some reason re- ership of Pat Moran of Fitchburg Mass, they have displayed great stay ing qualities and yesterday jolted Chicago out of first place by downing the Cubs in an Il inning contest.
 It was fitting that Grover Cleveland pitch the Phi1lies dnto first place again. Alexander is having a fine season. If the Phi11ies had two more like him they would walk home with the pennant.
 Judging by the terrific beatings the Detroit and the Chicago White Sox handed to Boston and New York yesterday, the two western clubs mean to sweep through the east like a cyclone. The Red Sox failed to subdue Chicago and if they cannot hold Detroit the Tigers are likely to go back home with their pennant chances looming very bright.
