fact that Ottumwa was even repre-.

EeAN BUYS MusKIE STARS.
Hruska, Reinhart, Runser and Martini
to Play With Waterloo.

Waterloo, Jan, 10. Manager Ned
Egan has taken the first step sin the
uppuild,ng of a strong BASEBALL team
for Waterloo for next season, accord
ing to the announcement made by
President ]. c. Koeneke OF the locai
association. Mr.. Egan has closed q
deal for the purchase of four members
of Muscatine's last seasons CLUB
Catcher Jack Hruska, Inielder Jess
Runser and Outfielders Charles Rein
hart and Martini will come to Water
loo this spring as result of the deal.
These four players will form the nu-
cleus of a strong combination. In ad-
dition Manager Egan has several!
members of last seasons local club who
will return.
Manager Egan announced on his ar
rival here early this week that ne
would build up fast team for Water
$50 and the signing Of the Muskie play
ers is the first step in that direction.
Jiggs Donahue is to be returned to
Waterloo by Manager Egan next sea-
son and the local lxader is confident
the second sacker will develop into one
of the stars of the organization. He
clouted the ball for .29l mark last
season and was considered one of the
most dangerous members of the league.
Ralph Miller may also be given an
other trial. He was far from being
finished fielder last season but display
ed natural ability and gave promise or
developing. He also demonstrated MS
ability to hit, the ball at critical times
With these players as a nucleus the
leader will, have to give but little at
tention to his infield or outfleld. He
will, however, need several pitchers as
it is quite probable that John Wester-
wick will be the only member OF last
seasons club who will return.

Heroes Lack Winning Spirit Of Old.
Cedar Rapids. Jan. 13.--Frank Isbell
now owner Of the Wichita Western
League Club. and former star Of the
White SoX. says the winning spirit of
the ball players of the olden days is
dead Nowadays opposing teams are
really chummy, declares the former
plumber whereas, when he was young
in the game, the winning spirit Of the
players often engendered hatred OF
the opposing teams which was not for
gotten when off the playing field. Now.
the opposing teams hurry to the club
house. discuss the theater, the hotel
and other fascinating topics with each
other before the umpire calls the>game,
and even between innings, and the last
thought apparently is whether the
home team is going to rout the OPP
posing nine or take defeat
Isbell, before the Central Association
directors here Wednesday, declared
himself for the young player with am
bition. the veteran rule and reforms
which will compel the old fighting
spirit which wins ball games. lsbeIl
is an advocate of the following re-
forms:
Cut out the handshaking on the ball
field.
Cut batting and fielding practice OF
the visiting club to twenty-five
minutes.
Prohibit the visiting club from APP
pearing in the park until thirty
minutes before the game is called.
Prohibit players from talking TO
spectators, even tho the spectators
"kid" the players.
Prohibit major clubs from signing
players who have never played PRO-
| fessional ball. in this way giving the
minor leagues the opportunity to ue-
velop college and semi-professional
players.

Women Entering GrinnsiI College to

Woensn Entering Grinnsil College to
a Admittsd on Scholarship Basis.
/ Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, Jan. 13.-The number two
men at Grinnell College will be defn-
itely limited next yedr to the dormi-
tory accommodations at the wemens
quadrangle and cottage six and enter
ing women will be chosen primarily on
! the basis Of scholarship. according to
the new policy announced by the adj
ministration yesterday.
The change OF policy follows some
what unsatisfactory conditions which
have developed this year due primarily
to the fact that fifty girls had to be
turned away last fall because Of lack Of
among those who were refused admis-
ready ito avail themselves Of the best
opportunities which Grinnell can otrer
The new plan goes into effect next
fall when admittance will be granted
only to those who are hest prepared
for . successful college career. Quail
fications Of character and earnestness
OF purpose will receive consideration
but an effort will be made to admit
those who have made the best scholas-
! tic records in high schools in prefer
ence to those students whose records
are not 50 favorable.
The administration Is adopting this
somewhat novel system as one Of the
measures which are being taken to re-
move all probability !. of Grinnell ever
becoming a rich woman's" college. BY
admitting on the basis Of scholarship
such tendency would have little
chance to develop. Girls who 8 earn
part Of their way will not be barred as
special arrangements for them to- live
/, in the homes where they work rather
than In the quadrangle can be, made.
