WILL STOP YALE MEN PLAYING WITH
 COLONlALS' TEAM

New Haven, March 7-George B. Case and Dutch Garter have been appointed a special baseball commit tee at Yale. taking up the work which has hitherto fallen principally to Prof. Robert Corwin and the two other members of the eligibility committee. Henry Hobson and George Parn1y Day. MT. Case has been an adviser of the baseball men for the past few years, and it was to him that the baseball players first went when they found that they were violating the rules regarding summer baseball at Quogue, L. I.
 add to it's members, held it's first meet ing in New Haven last night after spending the afternoon watching the baseball candidates practicing in the cage with Billy Lauder.
 The first question the new, commit tee will have to decide is whether the ineligible men, Spencer PumpeIly, R. H. Rhett, Jr., Bill Easton and Harry LeGore, can play on Weiss New Ha- ven team this spring and summer, along with a number of other college stars, including the two Brickleys, Johnnie Hanes and Clyde Waters. That the committee will disappro owe this is a foregone conclusion. Capt. Arthur Milburn is being commended for having no part in it.
 Way, Watrous, Easton and Mi1burn finished at Yale this year and the eligi- bility committee naturally have no authority over them, but if Pumpelly, LeGore and Rhett should play with a team hearing any of the earmarks of professionalism, it is believed the or der of suspension, which holds only their eases throughout their college course.

MORAN RUNS IN
 SNOW TO IMPROVE WIND FOR BIG BOUT

New York, March Frank Moran, the sturdy Pittsburger, who seeks Jess Wi11ard's title, felt right at home dur ing his first workout at Dal flaw kins's' gymnasium in Westchester yes terday afternoon. He had no need to become accustomed to new conditions The weather, inside and out, was quite a. fine imitation of the kind he had experienced at White Sulphur Springs for five or six weeks. For his ten miles of road work the big blond had to plough through several inches of snow. White Sulphur Springs at It's best never has anything on the tenn perature of Hawkinss gym when the challenger came out in the afternoon for his indoor exercises
 Moran's indoor work was not so strenuous as he had planned. An army of photographers was among the hundred odd fans who turned out to see the challenger. They insisted up on taking Frank in every conceivable attitude and posture They were strong on f1ashlight powder and when they had finished with the big fellow the atmosphere of the gymnasium was thick with smoke. Willie Lewis very wisely curtailed the work because of this unexpected condition of affairs.

TANKS RELEASE THREE YOUNGSTERS
 OF HURLING STAFF

Macon, Ga, March 7.-The Yankees yesterday played in Fourth of July form The regulars put up an exhibi- tion like the Yankees of old on the town lot yesterday afternoon, when they felded without a flaw in their tiff with Roy HartzelPS Colts and got the terrific number of two safe swats out of their systems in seven rounds.
 A wild and wooIly throw for two bases by young Hal Cable of Toledo saved the Regulars from a shut-out and enabled the Regulars to tie the Colts, 2 to 2. Wild will would have his joke and uniformed the large tree gate that darkness interfered with further hoStiHttes-
 Mullen started at second base for the Regulars instead of Gedeon, but Joe got into the game in the fth in- ming For the Yanigans Brown, Cook and Hendryx started in the Outheld and were succeeded by High, L4ayden and Miller. Paddy Baumann, who ar rived here last last night, shared the third base assignment on the rockies with the veteran HartzelL
 The Colts really. should be ashamed of themselves for getting no better than a tie out of yesterday afternoons tussIe. Ford Meadows, a young col lege lefthander, lobbed the ball up to the plate in the third and fourth in nings on behalf of the Regulars, and Ford was in his true International league form.
 Last night Meadows was handed his transportation 'sback, back. back to Baltimore However, Ford will not lack company. An early call also was left for Gilman Gay and George Finn, two fellow left-handers- All three southpaws left Macon at o'clock in the morning.
 Meadows reverts to Richmond. but by an agreement with Jack Dunn. Meadows will be passed back to Balti- more. The Yankees retain an option on the player, as it is said he has a lot of stuff on the ball if he can get tr over.
 Gay and Finn have been let out un- conditionally. Both are seuni-prohes- sionals, Gay haihng from New Haven and Finn from Elkton, Md.
 J. Franklin Baker and his bat were expected here last night, but Frank did not show up. Harry Sparrow re- ceived a. telegram informing him that Baker did not leave Baltimore until last night. Frank is due here tonight.

PENN BEATS CORNELL
 AND TAKES LEAD IN
 BASKETBALL STANDING

Ithaca, N r., March 7-CorneII was defeated here last night at basketball by Pennsylvania with a score of 10 to g. The victory puts Penn in the lead for the title. Close guarding by the PennsyIvanians and poor foul goal shooting by Capt. Brown of Cornell caused CornelPs defeat.
 At the end of the first half the score stood 6 to in Penns favor. Near the close of the game, when there were only two minutes to play, Sat terby fouled and McNichol dropped the foul goal which, gave the visitors a victory. PennsyIvania passing was short and quick. Cornell had many more chances for making baskets than Pennsylvania, but the Ithaca lads were weak in field goals.

 The Detroit Tigers are said to have picked up twirling wonder in Tom Hagen, who pitched for Oklahoma City last year. He has sn record of IS victories and no defeats.
 Fritz Maisel of the New York Americans and Eddie Collins of the White Sox have bought stock in the Baltimore International league club. They have been placed on the Board of Directors by Manager Dunn.
 Brad Kocher gave a better exhibi- tion of catching in Dallas than Lew Wendell, according to the New York writers who saw the Giants win the series. The old Bridgeport backstop is heavier than the former Waterbury player and is also a better hitter.
 The Interstate basketball league, in which members of the Blue Ribbon five play, closes this week. The win ner of the second half of the season will play a series with the Kings ton five, champions in the first half. The final winner will play the Eastern league champions. Paterson is lead- Interstate at present Beckman, Clin- ton, Swenson and Leonard of the Ribbons are with Paterson.
 The case of Pitcher Meadows, re- leased yesterday by the New York Americans, shows how hard it is to judge a young player. The Giants and Braves were after him when he was in college but Baltimore got him first and sold him to the Yankees. But in camp this spring Meadows didn't display anything but a sore arm so he has been turned back to Baltimore.

The following letter from Hartford will be of interest to local basketball nnanagers:

ROUSCH HOLDING
 OUT ON M'GRAW
 FOR MORE MONEY

New York, March 7-Benny Kauff is not the only Giant holdout- It be- came known yesterday that Eddie Rousch, the other outfeld acquisition from the late lamented Federal League, had not yet signed a contract offered him by Harry Hampstead, and that Rousch was resting quietly on his Indiana farm awaiting the arrival of a better offer from the New York club.
 Rousch was recently purchased by Hampstead from Harry Sinclair for a. price reported to be $12,000. Brook lyn, Pittsburgh and several clubs were hot on the trail of the young out fielder, but New York got the call by reason of being Sinc1air's best GUS toner Fred Anderson, Bill Rariden and Kauff had been bought previously
 As an all around performer ROusch compares faVorably with Kauff. With the Newark Feds last season Rousch acquired a reputation as remarka- ble fielder and a, reliable hitter. Old Bill Phillips, who was depOsed as manager of Newark last season, gave Ed a big boost last winter. The Wards had just taken Kauff away from the transferred Indianapolis club, but Phillips emitted no vail.
 Bill took a strong whif at his corn cob and remarked, ''Kauf is gone, but have Rousch, and I think him a better ball player in many respects Keep your eye on that boy. He'll be one of the real stars of the game
 within a, season or two-"
 With Kauff holding out and Robert son on the hospital list, McGraw could very easily make use of Rousch. Ed was scheduled to leave St. Louis with Art Fletcher's party last Saturday, but he did not show up.

REBEL OAKES OR STOvALL MAY BE
 WORCESTER PILOT

Worcester, March Worcester fans are trying to guess the name of the manager of the baseball club. Several one of them has been confirmed by Owner H. T. Brewer, The fact that Brewer has left for Pittsburgh leads some of the close followers of the game to believe that he is going to try and secure either Rebel Oakes. or George Stovail. It appears that both of these ladaS are shut out of the ma jor leagues ahd no doubt would vel como a chance to pilot a team in. a first class baseball city The men are the only two former big 1eaguers of any consequence in the west out of a job and they are at least worth a guess.
 It is said that Danny Murphy, the form-4r Athe1tic star, is still in the running for the position. Murphy is anxious to locate here and Owner Brewer is just as anxious to land, some one for tfe job as he realizes that unless manager is secured shortly the Worcesters will have a hard job perfecting arrangements for the preliminary season. Murphy would be satisfactory to the local fans He certainly knows enough baseball to handle the club.
 Stovan announced that he was through with the game yesterday. He like many other veterans has often changed his Enind. Oakes was want ed by Miller fIuggins, of the st. Louis Cardinals, but the owner of the Mound City team Refused to consider him. are still on the outside looking in and
 probably before it gets too late they will grab the best opportunity offered for the coming season.

Ball Decides Tonight.

The last act of the great drama Singing the Manager may be stag ed tonight when Neal Ball is to have a. final conference with officials of the Bridgeport club. Ball has been holding out for the past two or three days but it was announced tonight that he will either take the job to- night or step out of the race. The former Red Sox star can't decide whether to return to Toronto or spend the summer in Bridgeport.
 The daily application for the man ager's job filtered in today. Mike Mccormack, the former New Haven infielder, is the man who is willing to play the part of Simon Legree over the hired athletes. Mccormick has seen service in the National, American association and Pacific Coast leagues, but he is hardly the man for the position here. If Ball steps out of the race tonight nego- tiations will be started with Hugh Bradley and Pat O'Connor. Either would prove a popular choice.
 It is said that the Cleveland team is sore because it allowed Pitcher Joe Wood of the Boston Red Sox to be waived out of the league. Man ager Lee F'oh1 was willing to take a chance on Wood but the new Cleve- land owners hadn't taken charge then and it was impossible to get authority to spend money.
 The Montreal club of the Interna- tional league has put in g. bid for Outfie1der Nixon and Catcher Wheat of Brooklyn and is likely to get the players. These men were with Brooklyn when the Dodgers appeared here last season in an exhibition con
