DreyfuSs Protests Game.

Pittsburgh, Pa, April 22.-The in- structions issued last night by Pres- ident Tener to National league um- pires are believed by local baseball men to have resulted from a protest made by President Barney Dreyfuss of a decision by Umpire Quigley in de- claring Johnston out in the first in- ming of yesterdays game. The umpire alleged that the runner was touched by Manager Callahan of the Pirates, who was coaching at third base. Pres 1dent Dreyfuss at a smoker last night, which was also attended by President Tener, criticised the decision and today filed formal protest of the game, which was won by St. Louis. Mana ger Callahan denied that he had touched the runner and declared fur thermore that the ball was out of play at the time.

Omaha, Neb., April 22.-Senator AL bert Cummins of Iowa is leading Hen ry Ford of Detroit for the republican presidential nomination in today's re- turns from Nebraskas primary held Tuesday.
 Complete returns from half of the 1900 precincts in the state have re- versed the positions of Cummins and Ford and given the former slight lead of 200 votes.
 Supporters of Cummins predict his lead will be increased by returns, The Ford strength has come chiefly from the cities and towns. Justice Charles E. Hughes is a low third.

Picking the White Sox.

The majority of the American league ball players that we have talked to are picking the White Sox to win.
 The general verdict seems to be that Commy's club is stronger on Offense than the Red SoX, and stronger on defense than the Tigers, with a proper balance that should be victorious.
 The idea seems to be that White Sox pitching, backed up by the bat ting of Collins, Jackson, Fournier and others, will be about enough. Which you are at liberty to ponder

YALE PITCHER SHINES
Walshs Fine Pitching and Timely Three Sack Clout Helps Eli Nine to Down Red and Blue

Philadelphia, April P. One healthy three base blow combined with an error gave Yale university a victory over the University of Pennsyl- vania nine on Franklin field here yes- terday afternoon. The score was to 0.
 Larry Walsh, for three years a member of the Blue varsity, blos- delivered in great shape. Only four hits were collected off the Eli twirler and not once did a Quaker get as far as third base.
 But Walsh's efforts from the firing line were not his only achievements. He was responsible in large measure for the lone run of the contest. In the third inning he connected with one of SWigler's shoots and slammed it deep in left center for three bases. He later scored on an error by Smith, Penn's first baseman.
 Swigler also twirled good ball for the Red and Blue, allowing only five men to hit safely and striking out the same mum Der. Had it not been for errors by his teammates in the third inning the contest would have gone into extra innings. The score:
 r. h. e.. Yale ...........OO .OO1OO0OOO-1 1 Pennsylvania .O0O0O0OOO-O 2
 Batteries-Walsh and Munson; SWigler and Gilmore.

Ouimet and England.


 Francis Ouimet is now q. Pro. in America, but an amateur in England. So far as English rules of profession alism go, the star Boston golfer would be eligible to compete in the British Amateur or any other event.
 We also know of at least a dozen golf clubs in this country-and there are many, many more-Where Ouimet will be admitted to any tour rtament conducted as an amateur player. He has also almost every golfer in the land with him, as there is a general feeling that only by ac cepting cash prizes or having eX- penses paid the fee is a direct finan Cial aid should an entry in the game be lifted out of the amateur realm.
 It is with more than passing pleas Ire that we note the return to form Of Charles Albert Bender. The emi- rent Chippewa is rare character in sport, one that is a credit to the game. Bender has a lot more than mere physical ability. The Indian has a fine brain, world of courage and one of the most stable tempera- lnents we have ever seen, referring in no way to the hostler's art The dope is abroad in the Philly camp that by the middle of May Pat M oran expects to send Bender fre- quently to the front, and that he is confident the tall and stately Chief will respond with his ancient stuff. Tn any event, Bender will be of great aid as a rescue worker in the closing rounds of a tough game where steadi- resS means much.
 Although only Sophomore on the White Sox University team, Eddie Collins has been elected captain this spring. We wonder what honors Eddie will have gathered by the time he is a senior or is taking post graduate course?
