CORNELL NINE LOSES CLARY.
Faculty Committee Bars Captain for
Summer Baseball.

Summer Baseball.
Ithaca, n Y, Nov 23.-Captain
Frank Clary of the Cornell baseball
statement and will not be able to
play baseball next spring. The facul-
ty committee of student affairs, re-
viewing formal order Of the ath-
letic council, which had declared
Clary ineligible, sustained the coun-
ellis ruling on the ground that Clary
had violated the summer baseball
rule in that he took part in games In
which admission was charged.
There was no question of remunera-
ton in the case and there was no
charge that the fire company team
on which he played in this city or the
team in the Auburn Industrial league
on which he played one game were
anything but amateur teams. At the
time that Clary was debarred by the
council, Pitcher Valentine and Short
stop Eckley were also put under the
ban for similar offense. Valentine
and Eckley were later declared elig-
lble by the same faculty committee
which took adverse action in Clary's
case. Their decision against the Cor
nell captain, in view Of the ruling
in the other cases, has caused much
surprise. 1t Is understood that the
committees reason for debarring
Clary Is that while he was playing
games with the Firemen's league he
was notified that such a course was
in violation Of the rules, but that he
played In game in Auburn after re-
ceiving such notification

But Of His Wife, That's Different

Los Angeles, Nov. 23.-Daria Resta
will not be seen in the Ascot road
race Thanksgiving Day. His wife has
persuaded the renowned italian driv-
err not to enter. Restas decision not
to take part in the big race may have
been Influenced by the action of
Johnny Aitken, who decided to pass
up the contest.
Athens refusal to start in the AS
cot race was influenced by the fatal =
ties attending the Grand Prix race
of last Saturday over the same course,
it is said. Another reason given was
the fact that the speed champion
considered the prize money inadequate
to tho risk.
