There are three plays in base baii
on which an umpire makes no ruling
unless the team in the field appeals
for a decision. In two of the plays
it is necessary that the play be com

confidence. while the little Briton. from

Relations of Faculty and Coach.

1t is evident that Courtney, the
grand old man of Cornell rowing. is
having another difficulty with the
Cornell faculty. His grievance is the
same that cropped out many years
ago and involves a method practiced
at almost all universities. When the
candidates for any team are sum
moned at a university those who talk
to them. captains. old players and
coaches. urge upon them the neces-
sity of keeping up in their scholastic
work: then it is the custom for the
head coach to keep pretty closely IN
contact with the faculty in order
to know if any of his desirable men
are getting low in their studies. If
this be the case. the coach then has
Il heart to heart talk with these men
for dropping behind. and. as a rule.
he is able to make them see that the
first essential to playing on team
is to be eligible to play, and that
low standing is a Surer means OF
getting put off a team than any other.
Now the difficulty which seems to
have aroused Courtney's ire has been
the inability to find out or to be
warned as to the scholastic standing
Of his candidates and the result is
that he has lost the Starboard side
of his boat and has suffered the
breaking up of a crew which IS Saiu
to be the best he ever turned out.
More Argument on Golf Balls.
All golfers are Interested IN the
proposition of a standard golt bali.
| say interested designedly. for there
is by no means unanimity of opinion.
In fact. today probably large ma
jority of average players would vote
to leave things as they are. No man
likes to give up the possibilities OF
playing with any ball he desires,
and great many are hoping all the
time for a new ball that will give
them increased distance on their
drives. Nor is it by any means
proven that the changes in balls have
been the reason for alienation in
courses When the oxford and
Cambridge Golfing Society sent its
first team over here with Low and
Hunters, a player named Bra1nston
was on the team. and he played the

feam in the field. 1t has never been
tha intent to make he umpire of
assistance to any team; his job is
simply to render rulings on legitimate
plays.
In discussing the batting-out-of-
order play. the article went on to say
that no such play should happen:
that the umpire should watch his
lineup as given TO him before the
start Of the game. and any time an
improper batSman tried to bar IT.

RIGGS BANK TEAM ELECTS.

Bankers League May Be Formed.

The Riggs National Iiank base ball
enthusiasts held a meeting few days
ago and elected Joseph BockneWich
manager for the coming season. Book
newich was formerly pitcher in the
New York State League and is eN-
pected not only to turn out a good
team but also get into the game and
win good many games himself. Hay
cock, last years captain, was e-elect-
ed for the coming year.
The first team will probably be Sc
lected from the following players:
Fleming. Bocknewich. Book, Morris,
Woertendyke. Haycock. Bean, Tyn-
Gall, Kelly, Nevius. Zamora, Coe, Reed.
dall, Kelly. Nevius, Dagenais, King,
Barry, Ellis. Keene and Brasse.
Last years crack infield is still in
tact and there are many promising
new players.
Manager Bocknewich has called a
meeting with view to starting 4
Bankers League or at least of making
a pre- arranged schedule for the many
bank teams which are looking for
ward to the coming season. In any
event Riggs would like to hear from

William }. ClOthier. nl1-rOnnd

another bone. He is suffering
from fractured collar bone
this time. which makes his
tsventy-seventh casualty in this
line.
Mr. Clothfer. who Is IA former

received fractures from head to
foot in the course of his very
active life. His present injury,
which has just become known.
was sustained while practicing
hockey on Valley Hill farm. his

a few days ago. His Skate
caught in n craclS in the ice
and he fell heavily on his right
shoulder, breaking the clavirie.
The fracture is in the same

MARYLAND State has one date on its

cradle di tficulty getting filled. 1t is
June 8, which is the date between its
game at Cornell and two games in
New York. State has been trying TO
arrange for Il contest in or around
New York but so far has been un-
able to do so. Two contests which
have been pending with Gailaudet are
settled and with the exception of
June 3 the list of contests is complete.
A man greatly interested in amateur
base ball stated yesterday that he
thought this was going to be one OF
the most successful of all seasons in
that sport. Here is the way he looked
at it:
Il believe that amateur base ball
should transcend any season it has
had in the last six years. Interest
among the followers and hackers of
the sandIot game is greater than ]
ever saw it before at this time of
year. There is an abnormal demand
for playing fields and more teams
seem TO he clamoring for berths in
leagues than there are franchises to
be filed. | think from what l have
observed and heard among amateur
base ball men that a greater num-
Der of leagues will be in the field and
larger crowds will attend games this
wear than in a long While.r
