By Bennett
Champion Fred Plum Loses

ners in the New York Athletic Club,
defeated Fred Plum, of Atlantic City,
N. j., holder of the national champion
ship, in the shoot off for the high
scratch prize at the Travers Island
traps Of the New York Athletic Club

gunner had 95 out of a possible 100
targets. The high handicap prize went
to r. f. Debacher, who also was the
winner of the special handicap prize.
j. H. Vanderveer, the Brooklyn MINI
rod, won both the Travers Island and
the special scratch trophies. The
New York Athletic Club also gave, a
prize yesterday for the best visiting
gunner. 1t was won by Ben Donnelley,

of possible 100 targets. Three of the
gunners who turned the trick were
G. H. Martin, Tracy H. Lewis and F. A.
Siebert J. Nida missed the fourth

The day was ideal and there was an
unusually large number of marksmen
to score on the Haslin, the Club and
the Accumulation cups. These legs
were won by the nimrods who had full
scores of rs targets. Several straight
strings of 25 targets were made in the
regular events. G. H. Martin, G. j.

The Englishman and the Umpire

There is one detail, among many others, which the
Englishman could quite gather in regarding
baseball.
This is the attitude adopted by the player toward
the umpire. Those in England who watched Ameri-
cans and Canadians play always papaby as
founded at this feature of the game when after almost
every close decision from three to eight men would
dash mady in the umpire's direction and start vocal
cataclysm of excessive volume by way of burning
debate.
When you to think it over, it is a weird and
useless feature of the game.
Such vocfcrous protests have effect upon a
strong umpire-and the only effect they have a
weak umpire is to upset his balance and make him
worse.
1t has been contended that such protests nee
essary to maintain interest and develop fighting
atmosphere"
We have thought so. 1t is only upon the
rares occasions that you the rival teams and
the crowd go after football umpire referee Even
at the racerack, where thousands of dollars swing
upon decision, the judges are left alone

Mayor Tyson and Citizens
Extend Greetings to
McGraw Men and the
College Band Plays
By w. !. Macbeth

GAINESVILLE, Fla, March 22.-Not
since Barnum e. Bailey last paid a
personal call had this pretty little COL
lege city such an opportunity to cut
up real naughtily as it did to-day on
the arrival of the New York Giants
for spring training and in all justice
to the good town and its better citi-
zens We'll say the pyrotechhnic display
was we'll worth the Inconvenience suf-
Tered by the tourists aboard John B..
Fosters Snail Special which pulled
down to the station and the White
House promptly at 1888 p. m. only
three minutes late.
Mayor Tyson and the good citizens
had prepared a reception that will live
long in the memory of the youngest
participant. The entire population was
out with the college band and each and
every pilgrim who passed in review
down the narrow lane between the
denscly packed hosts received an ova-
ton worthy of returned conquering
hero.
TO begin with the White House or
hosiery at which most of the athletes
are quartercd is in every respect a
credit to the magnificently kept little
city which portrays every evidence of
comfort and even opulcnce.
The White House, which was form
crly ladies seminary, has been
equipped with every convenience. The
rooms are large and airy, the cor
ridor commodious and the views pleas
ing. The lounging rooms tastcfully re-
call country club life.
Newspaper Men in Heaven
The newspaper scribcs were barred
partially from this veritablc paradise
only to find themselves transferred to
the vcritable highest heaven. They
will board at the White House, but
room at the palatial residence Of
Major Thomas. The Thomas establish
ment, in the centre of large and
well-kcpt park, Ia an edifice that might
well nigh make some of our New York
multi millionaires turn green with
envy. The effect would be impossible
in New York, Of course; that is, at
least until they begin to rent Central
Park into landscape gardens for the
idle rich.
There was an official reception at
the White House tonight and every
body was there but tho President. Hin

Swimming Solons
Decide for Tigers
In Polo Dispute

The intercollegiate Swimming Asso-
cation held its annual meeting yester-
day at the College of the City of New
York. Besides electing officers for the
coming year, the Columbia Princeton
water-polo dispute was discussed and
suggestion 10 reduce the value of the
relay from eight to five points was con-
sidered. The difficulty rbetween the
College of the City of New York and
Columbia in the matter CT shortage of
officials at meets held by the two in
stitutions contemporaneously in the
city4was adjusted.
The tank salons awarded the dis
.puted polo match to Princeton, affirm
ing the decision of Referee Handley
given at the time of the contest that
any points scored after the expiration
OF time because of negligence on the
part of the timekeeper to announce
that fact should count. The score of
the Princeton-C Columbia match, there
fore, stands at 32-27, in favor of the
Tigers.
suggestion to cut down the eight
point value Of the relay to five was
discussed the view apparently pre-
dominating that the result of the relay
too often proved the winning margin
in meet, and that better competition
would result if it did not count so
much. 1t was finally decided to hold
this matter over until next fall.
The College of the City of New York
and Columbia were authorized to nomi-
nate officials and submit the names to
the association. This action was ne
cessitated by the shortage of arbiters
in town when 10th local colleges held
meet here at the same time.
w. H. Chamberlain, Yale, was raised
from the position of secretary treas
urer to the presidency of the associa-
ton. w. l. Harris, Princeton, stepped

Ouimet's Temperance

The temperance of Francis Oumet in both the
amateur and open golf championships this season will
add UNNECESSARILY to the interest in both events.
Ouimet made his last amateur championship ap-
pearance at Detroit in 1915, when he dropped by
young Standish. His last appearance in the open was
at Baltusrol. Nineteen fifteen off year for the
ex-open and ex-amateur champion, but while he has
not taken part in either big event SINCE his play has
been remarkable. He is to be brilliant contender
and worthy opponent for the brilliant Evans the only
golfer who ever bagged both championships in

Where the Stars Stand

Those who contend that umpre-bating is a
essary evil necessary feature-and attraction for
the crowdmght consider this side of it: Practically
none of the star players go after umpire S
scalp. Hans Wagner left the umpires alone. SO did
Christy Mathewson. Cobb has very little to say to
of the judges, rare occasions. Walter
Johnson has no protests to make, in orderly
fashion. Eddie Collins and Frank Baker have never
been listed in the umpire-baiting class.
The pallid facts in the case that most of the
umpire-b batting is another form of the abi where a
noisy protest is made to cover up a bad play.
