President Hibben,
Of Princeton, Pays
Tribute to Baker

Princeton, N. J., Feb. "a warm
tribute to Captain Hobey Baker, the
famous Princeton athlete recently
killed in France, was paid by Presi-
dent John G. Hibben, of Princeton
University, at memorial services here
yesterday. Six aviators, sent by the
War Department, acted as a guard of
honor and a large number of stu
dents and visitors attended the serv-
ices, which were held in Trinity
Church.
''The deep feeling of our hearts
to-day finds but poor expression in
words of our admiration and love
for Hobart Baker," said DR.. Hihben.
Ever since he entered the univer-
sity as young freshman he has
been the pride of Princeton. We had
hoped soon to welcome him home
with his honors and his laurels and
it was with a passion of grief that
the great company of his friends
heard of his death. At the close of
his university career he had not only
the reputation of a gallant athlete,
but the fair record of a conscientious
and consistent devotion to the daily
tasks connected with his academic
work."
Captain Baker was killed in an
! airplane accident several weeks after
the armistice was signed.

"Chase testified that he had bet
on the result of baseball game
with another player only twice in his
professional career. The first case
was many seasons ago when he was
a spectator at a National ! League
contest while a member of an Ameri-
can League team. The other wager
was made in a post season series of

a game.

Chase refused to talk when in
formed of the verdict but his law
yers issued a statement for him
which declared that legal action
would be continued to obtain full
redress" from the Cincinnati club

President Heydler said in his find-
ings that "the interests of the public
and OF the game of baseball are far
morer important than the fate of
any individual" He declared he
would protect those interests, mo

Heydler also served warning that
any National League player who bets
on game, either for or against his
own team or whether or not he plays
in the game, will be expelled from

Admiral Blue said that in addition

MANY ARMY MEN
ARE ENLISTING
IN THE j. NAVY
1919 Per Cent. of Last Weeks
Enlistments Were Dis
charged Soldiers

Returned soldiers are enlfsting in
large numbers in the United States
Navy, navy recruiting officials told
at the local navy recruiting station,
R21 Market street, to-day. The total
zenlistments in the Eastern division
! of the recruiting SERVICE show that
zh2.9 per cent. were those of dis
charged soldiers.
Explaining they say: There's a
reason. The overseas troops have
had a chance to get on the inside
! OF navy life. On the trips across
: they have lived close to the real
heart of the navy. A soldier re-
burning on the Mongolia was heard
: to remark, "the navy officers treat
their men as though they were one
1 OF them. The navy has been good
to us on this home trip. The life
has q positive lure once it has been
tested.
''The 1879 per cent. enlistment of
discharged soldiers in the navy also
shows the splendid work of the
United States Employment Service,
which is cooperating with the Navy
Recruiting Service"
Continuing, the official said:
Everybody realizes this is a day
of specialists. No one gets by in
: this day and age in a slip-shod man
ner. He must know how to do a
thing and be able to tell why he
does it. The first question asked
when a person asks for position
in civilian life is what special
training have you had along this
line? Every trade or profession
has technic peculiarly its own. TIC
the discharged soldier or unemployed
civilian let it be said there is no eX-
cuse for his being idle If he has
physical fitness. good common
sense and a desire and willingness
to learn.
"The Navy has opened a school
for machinists at Charleston, s. c.,
and school. for electricians at
Hampton Roads. Va. Men for the
machinists' school are enlisted as
firemen, third class. While in train
ing they are paid $500 per month
They also receive their clothing al

dry, comfortable quarters in which
to live and all textbooks and prac-
tical working tools. In return for
this splendid chance to become pro-
fcient in very necessary trade. all
that is asked of those enlisting Is a

ambition to learn the machinist's
trade, energy and strict attention

The generating of Hal Chase
yesterday by Johnny Heydler, Ma
tionaI League president, who acted
as Judge. shows that 1t is difficult
ito convict guilty ball player of
betting on a game and even more
difficult for the player to pull any
thing"
Reported Heydler: Elm substance,
the player was charged with making
wagers against his club and games
in which he participated. In justice
to Chase. feel bound to state that
both the evidence and records OF
games of which reference was made
fully refute this accusation.
In one game in which it was
intimated that Chase bet against his
club, the records show that in the
sixth inning, with two men on bases
and the score to 0 against his team,
Chase hit home run, putting Gin

President Heydler stated in a gen.

Involving Chase implied that he had

Ease after he had read his formal

ewson's affidavit was a more or less
general complaint against Chase's
conduct and talk upon the ball field
but that there was little which was
specific in its relation to the real
charge upon which the trial was
based.
''The testimony showed" said
Heydler, that Chase acted in a fool

charges in view of the many rumors
