The ball play CTS, looking about to make their ar engagements, called upon Cohen to see about having their suits pressed at e.club rates'' It so happened. that diminutive Donie Bush was delegat- ed to make the bargain.
 s@There are about 20 of us,'' said Bush to Cohen and we want to get a rate for having our clothes press ed"
 eeYes, yes," said Cohen, 'I should like to get so much business, and I will make it all right and a bargain rate,'' and he named a price for each suit to be cleaned and pressed.
 At that moment who should walk into Cohen's shop but Grover Low dermilk, (six feet fve) and Bill James (six feet four).
 ''These are some of the men in our crowd said Bush, pointing up to them as a. guide in New York would to the Woo1worth building.
 "Oh, my; oh, n1y,'' said Cohen, such a giants of men! Now I can not make you such a bargain rate for all of them. It will be a quarter more apiece for such men like these, but to you (to Bush) I shall keep my bargain"

SIGN DR. BULL TO COACH YALE TEAM
 IN NEXT CAMPAIGN

New Haven, Conn, March 15.-Dr.
 William TsBulI has beeR sre-eng gagged ! for next year as one of the coaches of the Yale football squad by the new football co1ntni ttee-Vance Mccormick, Brinke Thorne, John R. Fitzpatrick, Walter Camp and Joe swan
 This makes the coaching force up to the present time consist of Tad Jones, ArtFA5r El. Brides, former coach of the AfKsSaehusetts Aggies, and pr. Bull, with Nffke Sweenegof Hill school as general athletic adviser.
 When Frank Hinkey two years ago made his tIree-year contract to coach Yale football cA1e of the conditions was that he could have Dr. Bull as an as sdstant.
 The original plan was to have Dr.. Bull look after the, injuries of the players, but later this was given up and Dr. Bull devoted all his attention to coaching the drop kiclxers and punt CTS. Last fall he coached part of the week and followed the Princeton and Harvard games as scout. This, it is understood, will be his principal work next fall N
 The possibility Of getting John M. Gates, 1908, end on Tom ShevIin's team and later assistant and advisory coach at Annapolis, for coach of the ends is being seriously considered by the com mittee- Gates is understood to be available It is hoped here, however, that John R. Fitzpatrick, whose bus l mess duties made him discourage a movement to give him the general ath- Ietfc dfrectorshfp, can allow enough time to Yale for the proper develop ment of the ends. It is known that if this work falls to Fitzpatrick he will have an able and willing assistant in Douglas Bomefsler.

NEW LEADERS IN
 BOWLING TOURNEY

Toledo, O., March 15-whoIesale changes in the standing of the leaders in the American Bowling Congress were made yesterday. The old Bonds of Columbus, now known as the Heinfe RiehIs, shot 2.S95 for first place in the fves; ''Sykes'' Thoma and Hank Marine of Chicago cleaned 1,279 in the doubles for another lead and Bob Rayd1 of Chicago ran second in the singles. Thorna also put Chi cago into another first place with 1919 in the aI1-events, one of the best marks on the A. B. c. books
 The climb into first place by Thoma and Marine proved one of the big sensations of the week. The pair had 897 for two games. and they got 382 at the finish. Thoma opening with two railroads, while Marine had the BIO, that cost him a break. The rest of their game was clean, although they shucked some pins by thin hits. Goetz and Hess of Chicago ran 1,224 for fourth position.
 Kayaks attempt to down Frank Shaw was another feature. He had 459 for two games and opened with four in a row that looked like the money. A railroad top of the strikes stopped him, and he spared and struck alternately to the finish.

HARVEY RUSSELL SIGNS AS
 BACKSTOP FOR NEW LONDON
Neal Ball Can't Get Answer To Request For Re
 lease From Toronto.

Harvey Russell, the former Bridge port catcher and one of the most pop ular players who ever wore a, local uniform, has been signed by New Lon don. It was reported some time ago that the Chicago Cubs would get Rus sell as third string catcher but when they came to take him from the de- funct Baltimore Feds they found that, being a free agent, he had signed else where. Manager McCann of New Lon don went after Russell as soon as peace was declared. Russell jumped Bridgeport two years ago after spend ing the winter working in a local of flee. He has been with the Baltimore outlaws ever since.
 Neal Ball, the former Red Sox star who is trying hard to land the Bridge port manager job, has been to New York several times to see President Barrow of the International league Ball claims it was understood when he went to Toronto last season that he was to be a free agent. Barrow hasn't given him any satisfaction and Ball has wired to the Toronto owners without getting a reply. Meanwhile the time is getting short.
 Benny Kaun started to blow his own horn as soon as he arrived at Marlin Tex. .'I can bat 300 in this or any other league,'' he told the writers as soon as he got there Just watch Benny. He'll show those guys how to show me up at Dallas in a, couple of weeks. Well, I hope he gets in good shape for those games I don't want any excuses from him.

FULLER PLAYERS UNABLE TO CHECK
 RIBBON SPEEDERS
By Wagner.)


 Alas! poor Jake. NeveF g. Dustin Farnum or Francis x. Bushn1an. in the line of fatal beauty, Herr Fuller has gone from bad to worse. Jake is getting fat. His roly poly figure was not active enough to check the Blue Ribbon basketball players who romped away with F'uller's team at Colonial hall last night by 39. to 24. When Jake first appeared on the floor the fans gave him an ovation such as Caruso or Benny Kau1f might envy. After the first few minutes of play the rooters were calling for the fire department to put Jolly Jake out.
 Fuller had Sugarman of the old Utica champions on his team and an other star in Sidrum. Both display ed ability in shooting. Bruggy, the well known clown, was at center but couldn't do much against Leonard. The visitors were lighter than the Ribbons and were handicapped in blocking on that account. The Rib- bons were thus enabled to take many shots.
 It was the spectacular shooting of the Ribbons that enthused the crowd. Walter Swenson got five, several of which were circus losses Jimmy Clinton rang the bell for seven and Beckman also turned in some fancy hurls!
 kept the locals on the jump, the Rib bons leading by IS to 15 when the whistle blew. In the last session the locals drew rapidly away from the visitors.

POUND CALDWELL
 IN TANK PRACTICE

Macon, Ga, March 15-Sam Ross, from Jackson, Tenn, out-CaIdweIIed Slim Caldwell of Salamanca N. NY, in the local ball yard yesterday after used to take the joy out of the young lives of visiting players by polling their basebaIIs into the right field war zone of the Polo Grounds grand stand.
 sambo gave Ray a dose out of the same bottlei In the second round, with two men on the bases, Ross took 9, mighty swing at one of Caldwell s spring deliveries and personally con ductedT that basebaIE out of the park The regulars and R oss managed to squeeze in a victory by a score of 6 to 5.
 Ross was the real kid. Sam has several distinctions besides being a home run pitcher. He is one of the most p1easant-faced kids in camp and is also the slimmest. He stretches out to six feet and one inch, but doesn't carry as much meat on his two legs as Duke Farrell does on one, Sam's s weight being 15O pounds. According to Mark Roth's statistics, this makes sammy the lightweight of the camp. Sammy is Ieft-handed, 20 years old, and chews tobacco.
 When the teams squared off for this afternoons tiff, it looked as though the Yannigans had all the best of it, as they drew Caldwell for their pitcher, while Ross hurled for the Regulars. Ross permitted only three hits and no runs for four innings. CaIdweH Fetfred o;atf the end of the third inning, Ross homer standing for three of the counters.
 ripple pitched the last two innings for the Regulars and plotted out the six men to face him as quickly as they came up to the plate. Tip is begin ming to look much better than he did during the first two weeks at the camp.

Higgins is the principal officer OF

Hunts complaint have within the last
two years entered into an agreement

He says the General Managers assO-
citation has made it impossible for him
10 secure work, because of a rule
adopted by it sets an age limit of As
years for new employees This has not
only made it impossible for him to
procure work as a conductor, he says,
but he has had to do mental tasks,
for which he is untitled, and which
make it impossible for him to provide
suitable food or other necessaries Of
life for himself, in consequence ,of
which he has been compelled 10 ap-
peal TO friends and acquaintance for
aid.
This, together with the fact that he
has had 10 travel great distances in
search Of employment, has caused him
great humiliation and mental and ply
steal pain, which he alleges have dam
aged him to the amount of $4,000
