1t is reported that Brooklyn, Pitts

While the, present owners of these

Philadelphia. Pa, Dec. IS. - Sher-
wood Magee, former star batsman of
the Phillies and for the last two sea-

Magee with one of the western clubs

confirmation of the rumor could be
obtained. but it is believed Magee will
so to the St. Louis Cardinals.
Several weeks ago Manager George
Stallings was credited with the an
nouncement that Magee was on the
market, and during the meeting of the
National League magnates in New
York Stallings received two offers for
the hard-hitting outfielder. but was
not satisfied with the players offered
in return and turned the offers down.
Discovered ut Carlisle
Magee made his major league debut
with the Phillies, being discovered at
Carlisle, in the spring of 1904. He
played ninety-five games with the
Phillies that year, batting .277, and
since that time has ranked with the
best hitters in either league. In 1910
he led the National League batsmen
with an average of .331 for 154 games
He was classed as a star outfielder, but
played almost every position on the
field while the Phillies were managed
by Charley Dooih, and surprised every
one by the way he played shortstop
and first base

To Stop PROSECUTING
For several years the association
has worked for the betterment of col
lege athletics and has eXerted wide in
huence in effecting the reforms of
evils which endangered amateur
sports. The evil which this years con-
vention plans to attack is proselyting
and this will be discussed by the head
masters of several preparatory schools.
1t is expected that the papers on this
subject will bring out many signifi-
cant facts relative to the practice in
all its forms, including promises of
scholarships, membership in fraterni-
ties and positions which will guarantee
the students expenses during his col
lege course.
Another subject that aroused much
interest among the delegates was mill
tary training, in view of the action
taken on the subject at the annual
meeting of the Athletic Research So
ciety yesterday. The society went on
record unanimously as opposed to
military training and passed a resolu-
tion that it believes in compulsory
physical education in all schools and
colleges in the United States instead
