GQLLEGE PLAYERS
Are Being Signed by the Major
League Clubs for TryOutS
This Summer.

Major league baseball clubs have
already started their annual tryout
Of college players who have made
good on varsity diamonds this sea-
son. While the scouts Of the yari-
Gus leagues have been rather liberal
in their recommendation It is not
likely that many of those youngsters
will be able to successfully make the
leap from the college team to the big
league combinations. Both the Phil
adelphla Athletics and the New York
Giants are at present trying out sew
eral of the more promising Of the
varsity recruits and 1t may be that
one or two will stand the tcst.
The Giants will give Pitcher
George Smith, of Columbia; Pitcher
Way, of Yale, and second baseman,
Stafford, OF Tufts, a try-out. and
hope to develop at least one of the
trio before the season closes. Connie
Mack has team mate Of Staftord's
in Carroll. former catcher for Tufts;
and Pitcher Johnson, Of Ursinus,
working with the team. other clubs
have added a collegian or two to
their rosters within the last week or
two but owing to the closeness of the
race in the two leagues, are 10TH to
use them in the play at this time.

RUDE 9LDRING
Is Through with Baseball and
the National PaStime Loses
a Great Star.

The announcement by RUDE Old
ring that he is through with baseball
marks the passing of still another
player who helped to make the Phil
adelphia Athletics famous a few
years ago. oldring, who is thirty
two years old, began his baseball ca
reer with a seml-prOfessIOnal team
at the age Of twenty and later was
sold TO the Athletics by the Mont
pomery club Of the Southern League
In 1905 he was drafted by the New
York Americans and the following
season awarded to the Athletics
where under COME Mack he played
for period Of ten years.
During his arst year with the Ath-
letIcs he played third base after
which he was moved to the outheld
where he was fixture. His best bat
ting year was In 1910 when he MT
3OS. During his connection with
the Athletics he helped in the win

Stansbury is Retained
AS Athletic Director
At Wesleyan College but No
Football Coach Has Been
Selected.

BUCKHANN NON. July Although
the board o. trustees Of the college
met ten days aro. and In spite OF the
fact that It is this annual meeting
that the teachers and other officers OF
the institution are selected for tho
following year, there has been an
nounced but one Of the athletic
coaches or officials.
The one announcement is to the
effect that H. A. StRnsbury has been
retained as athletic director for all
sports for tho entire year and that
the selection OF a head coach for foot
ball and other sports as well as an as
slstant for football was delegated to
the executive committee Of the board.
1t has been currently reported that
Earle Ncale, tho former Wesleyan
star and j. S. Kelllson, the other not
cd football player had been retained
as head coach and assistant coach re-
spectlyely for this fall, but this report
seems utterly without foundation.
A very large amount Of cores
pondence has been carried on between
the local officials and NeRle and
with the Musklngum authorities, al
so. but Neale has contract at Mus
klngum which still has year to run
and II, as now seems to be the case,
Muskingum does not release him
there is very slim chance that he
will direct Wesleyan's football des-
tlnles this fall.
E. d. Rich, Of Dartmouth, a man
who has the very strongest endorse
ment from Head Coach Cavenaugh
at Dartmouth, where Rich played
four years and was an all-Amerlcan
selection for fullback, seems to be
about the next choice to Neale here.
Rich also is highly recommended by
Coach Clock Of Washington and Lee
and a whole host Of other prominent
football authorities.
Following closely behind Rich
comes FELTON,, the man who had
charge here when Wesleyan FIRST
came into the athletic limelIght. Fell
ton was here during commencement
week but announcement Of the re-
suit Of his conference has not been
made, although It is certain that he
was not definitely employed.

LOCAL ROTARY CLUB
IS TO PRESENT CUP
For the Gulf Tournament to Be
Held during National Con-
ventiOn This Month.

The Rotary Club of Clarksburg less
than four months old, with nearly
100 live wire members Is putting
Clarksburg on the rotary map, by
presenting a handsome trophy cup
for the golf tournament to be held
during the convention Of the Inter
national Association Of Rotary Clubs
in Cincinnati, July 16 to 20 next.
The cup is now on exhibition in the
show window Of B. F. Robinson, the
jeweler, Of the Clarksburg club.
What this publicity means for
Clarksburg will be better understood
when 1t is known that Clarksburg
now has one Of the nearly two hun
dred and fifty Rotary Clubs in the
international association throughout
this country, Canada, Cuba, Great
Britain, and gradually extending
around the world, with membership
of some $4,000 men, Of whom nearly
5000 will be in attendance at the
Cincinnati convention, this year.
Rotary is founded on the unique
basis Of one representative from eacn
separate line Of business Of profes-
sion in each town where there is a
club, aiming to get the most active
and representative men in each line.
The momentum the movement has
gained is astounding; memberships
are at a premium In the clubs.
The annual conventions bring to-
gether the most representative body
Of men Of any organization, leaders
in their respective clubs and commun-
tiles, for the purpose Of discussing
not only the interests and organiza-
ton to rotary, but Of how they indi-
vidually and as an organization can
be Of benefit to their. communities
and countries in civic affairs as well
as business.
The notices Of rotary are Service,
Not Self; HE Profits Most, Who
Serves Best"

VIRGINIA WESLEYAN
1916 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
Includes Games with PennSyI-
vania, Penn State, George
town, W. Va, and W. & }.

BUCKHANNON. July 1.-The
West Virginia Wesleyan football
schedule for 1916 as announced here
today by H. A. Stansbury. director oil
athletics, is by far the most attractive
ever arranged for the local institution
and embraces a most difficult series
of games.
The West Virginia game at Fair
mont on Thanksgiving day with all It's
attendant influence of the champion
shin of the state, and its crowd, is OF
course, the most interesting game oil
The ten scheduled so far as local inter-
est goes.
From a national standpoint, how
ever the securing OF a game with the
University OF Pennsylvania to be
plaved on the famous Franklin field
on the Saturday Immediately proceed
ing Thanksgiving is of the utmost i'm
portance. This is the first time that
Wesleyan has ever met one OF the
big Four" and II is said that II was
through the influence OF Bob Folwell,
former Washington and Jefferson
coach. and his favorable impression OF
Wesleyan's style Of play against his
Red and Black teams that the game
was secured for Franklin field.
The Washington and Jefferson game
for 1916 contrary to custom is played
ON the home field Of Washington and
TnfFersnn instead of at Clarksburg or
Wheeling as heretofore.
Penn State is again played at State
College. and the resumption Of grid
iron relations with Georgetown gives
Wesleyan its second appearance Of
the season in big eastern cities.
The Marietta game at Marietta Is
another interesting contest and would
have been played at Buckhannon eX-
cept for great pressure from the Mar
ietta end Of the line, Wesleyan having
proved a great attraction in the Buck
eye town last fall.
The home schedule, too, is an espe-
cially attractive one, with four games
scheduled and one yet to be arranged.
Westminster will be strong card
here and Bethany under the coaching
of Heyman, the former Washington and
Jefferson star should give the locals
strong battle. Greasy" Neale's
Muskingum team should also prove to
be favorlte here.
The complete schedule follows:
September 23-Davis-Elkins College
at Buckhannon.
September 30-MuskIngum College
at Buckhannon.
October 7-Washlngton and Jeher-
son at Little Washington, Pa.

Political Possibilities.

One of the political possibilities of the year is that Arkansas may get on the National Presidential ticket. Stran- ger things have happened. It is known that Gov. Charles H. Trough is re- ceiving many most gratifying endor- sements for the Democratic nominat- ion as vice president. These are by no means confined to Arkansas, but come from Tennessee, Mississippi, Missouri, Colorado and elsewhere. One admirer in Missouri has said that Gov, Brough is the greatest chief executive the South has produced and that the Democratic party could not do better than to give him the second place on the ticket. It is known that the gover- nor is not averse to being considered a receptive candidate for the office, and that if it is offered him he will not re- fuse.
