club by the Washingtons several years ago for $12,000. He played some great ball for Clark Griffith, but the latter soured on Gandil in 1915 and finally disposed of him to the Cleve- lands. Griff wanted to make room for Joe Judge of the Buffalo club, but the latter couldn't hir a lick last year, which made it appear that the sale of Gandil to Lee Fohl was a serious blunder The Clevelands intend to play Guisto, the Coast league star, in Gandi's place this year. Guisto is said to be GandiPs equal as a fielder, but his batting skill against Ameri- can league pitchers is an unsolved problem. Photo shows Chick Gandil batting.

He looked very promising when in this section before and won quite few games for tailend clubs he was generally with. Moose Miller of New Haven has recommend ed Pitcher Jack Hoffman, who twirl- ed for the Connecticut Hospital for the Insane team last season. Hoff- man lives in the Elm City.
 Ban Johnson knows how to make the ball players take an interest in the military drilling. He has offered prize of $500 for the best drilled team in the American league. 1t, iS also hinted the players winning the $500 may decide to buy a trophy. They may but the odds are 10 to 1 they will decide to split that $500 and each buy a suit of clothes.
 El1ery Huntington, a former All American quarterback, has been picked to act as head coach of the Colgate football squad. Englehorn, the old Dartmouth star, will be the new line coach at Colgate.
 Just as Les Darcy took to his bed with a cold and figured all the world was against him a club in Denver offered Darcy and Jack Dillon $20,0OO for bout. Dillon has accepted and probably Darcy will too.

LEWIS BOWLERS

The final match in the series be- tween Connie Lewis All-Stars and All Waterbury was played at the Park City alleys last night and the local bowlers lost by 12S pins.

PRINCETON DEFEATS
 COLUMBIA FIVE EASILY

Princeton, N. J., March 7.-The Co., lumbia basketball team played a rather loose game against Princeton here last night, and the Tigers were able to win lby IS to 13. The contest was probably the poorest played on the Princeton court this season, the Morningside Heights five showing complete reversal of form, while the Tigers played a game which made them appear far from contenders for the league championship.

Sporting Chatter

There are about a dozen profession al ball clubs in New York state, and yet they talk of abolishiEg fight ing!
 Nal Eason has been released as a National league umpire, but Stallings and Johnny Evers are still left. brutal as. the daily subway crush, the howl about.
 If the Teutons could engage the ser- vices of Iris Speaker, why, what with Iris and the U boats no liners could ever get by.
 Fred Fulton may be plasterer, but. judging by his defense in his last few battles, he isn't any porous plasterer He's alright.
 We understand that Freddie Welsh is going to retire from the ring in 1920 and run for President of the United States on a Pacifist and Vege- tarian platform
 Frankie Whitney, the fighting car penter, was born in Cedar Rapids, Ia., 30 years ago today. Fighting carpen- ters, pugnacious plasterers and plumbers and man-eating machinists seem of late years to have taken the place of the bellicose butchers wilo hourished in the old days of the ring. In former times every other pugi1ist had served an apprenticeship as a butcher, but nowadays the meat carvers seem to have become tame and pacific.

RIBBONS GET TIE
 IN TITLE HUNT BY
 BEATING N0RWALK
(By Wagner.)

The referee leads a jolly life, if The remembers to stuff cotton in his ears before going on duty. Take the case of Harry Wallum, the buXom boy from Hoboken who blew the whistle in the Blue Ribbon-Norwalk game at Colonial hall last night./ Harry spent the evening jumping from the frying pan into the fire. If he called foul on the Ribbons he was saluted with loud groans by the local rooters. When he penalized Norwalk the down state fans called him out of his name.
 As they boarded the 9:55 for home the Norwalk boys probably blamed Wallum for their defeat although he handed out about the same number of penalties. Anyway the Ribbons won by 25 to 16 and the state title series is tied with one victory each. Norwalk has an aggressive crowd of players but they don't appear to be as accurate in shooting as the locals. They fought hard every minute, though, which made the contest in- teresting.
 Calder, an old Columbia University player, was used by Norwalk, but couldn't get a field goal. Ashmead of Cornell fame managed to score one basket. Smolick was the leading scorer for the visitors and Leonard also played we'll.
 Beckman and White proved lively forwards for the Ribbons and Jimmy Clinton looked good at guard until his injured leg gave way in the second half and forced him to retire. Mur ray replaced him. Swenson did some brilliant blocking and enthused the crowd by his method of taking the ball down the floor. The third game will be played next Monday night in Nnr1ua liz The score.

Utican Convicted in Japan
R. H. Thayer Charged with
Violating Military Secrets

Yokohama, Japan, April 20.-Ralph
Hoyt Thayer, formerly of Utica, N. Y,
was convicted in court here to-day on
the charge of violating the law for the
protection of military secrets and was
fined 20 yen. The judge who heard the
case found that Thayer had no inten-
tion of violating the law.
Ralph Hoyt Thayer was arrested late
in January on the charge of having en-
tered without authority the wireless
station zone of Yokosuka, an important
naval station three miles southwest of
Yokohama. The case attracted consid-
cradle attention in Japan, as Thayer
was arrested at Yokosuka three nights
after an explosion on Japanese battle
cruiser in that port. Thayer was a
teacher of English in St. Paul's Episco-
pal College at Toxic, an institution
conducted by the American Episcopal
Mission.

United States army gained 1879 officers
to-day through the graduation here oil
the first class of the Military Academy
almost two months ahead of time. Sec
rotary of War Baker, appearing at the
Academy for the first time since ne
took Office, gave out the diplomas.
The graduation exercises were to
have taken place at historic Battle
Monument. but heavy clouds and oeca-
sional splits of wind-swept rain forced
Colonel John NJ. Biddle. superintendent
of the Academy, to hold them in the
gymnasium.
Not until the last minute to-day was
il known that Secretary Baker was
coming, and his arrival was announced
by the heavy booming Of a 17-gun
salute given as he entered the reserva-
ton from the railroad station. Hall
an hour later the entire cadet corps,
clad in gray dress uniforms, shakos'
white belts and white gloves, swung
out across the drill field and halted,
facing the Academy colors.
Baker Reviews Corps
Accompanied by Major General Hugh
l.. Scott. chief of staff, and other staff
off ,crs, Secretary Baker walked swiftly
down the long line of rigid cadets,
halted at the left to squirt down its
front. and returned to the reviewing
place. Then the corps came swinging
by at "eyes right"-and the review was
over
Sweethearts some of them to be-
come wives within few days-mothers
and fathers allied the sides and gal
leries of the hag-draped gymnasium as
the entire corps marched in and occu-
pied the centre section with the gradu-
ating class in front.
The Rev. Percy Silver. chaplain Of
the Academy. delivered the opening
introduced by Colonel Biddle. Led by
Harris Jones, who stood at the top of
his class for four years. the graduates
came forward as their names were
called and received their diplomas from
the War Secretary. He shook hands
with and congratulated each.
When Cadet p. G.. Black was. called
Mr.. Baker stepped back and BHgadier
General William NJ. Black, chief of engi-
neers, presented his diploma to his own
