He was re- leased to Rochester under option and performed brilliantly. his batting be- ing especially good for youngster breaking into Class A baseball.

 ball Championships.

Chicago, April 1S tBy Associated Press) "A golden rule in baseball vii prevail with the opening of the western conference championship season today. The games will be conducted this season under code of .'sportsmanship and courtesy in- stead of rowdyism.
 Calling pitcher a "big tramp "big bum" or similar names in an attempt to rattle him, will be regard cd as unsportsmanlike and will not be tolerated either from the players or spectators, according to the code announced by Major John l.. Griffith. commissioner of athletics, in the western conference.
 The code provides that there shall be no remark by a player or spec tator that reflects directly or in directly upon the opponent, umpire or spectator.
 No freak delivery such as the spit ball or shine ball will be allowed this season.
 Due to unfavorable weather con- ditions the clubs are behind in train ing and reports indicate that the items which invaded the south for practice games--Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin will start the season with a distinct advantage.

CORBIN TEAM PRACTICES SAT.
 QUIMBY, EX-YALE MAN, TO AID

The Corbin Baseball team will get away to an early start on Saturday afternoon of this week when Manager John Tobin will put the boys through course of sprouts at one of the Walnut Hill diamonds.
 Just what the personnel of the team will be this year is, of course, problematical, but it is almost cer- tain that the old timers. those who put the team on the baseball map last season, will be given the preference over other candidates, providing, of course, that they can make the grade.
 Last years battery men, Wolfe, Chalmers and Jerry Griffen, pitchers, and Jimmy Clinton, catcher probably will have regular positions. Phil Snyder, center fielder, is good hit ter and fleet baserunner, and is ex- pected to be regular. His worst fault is that he is inclined to try to steal from third to home, despite the fact that there is good catcher be- hind the bat.
 Corbin is another good outfielder, and with batch of new material that probably will appear there is every reason to think that the Corbin out fit this summer will be a snappy ag gregation.
 Manager Tobin already has booked several good games, but is going slow as he wants to meet only the very lest teams and those who can give the best guarantees.
 On Tue sday night the squad had an energetic workout at the Boys club and Manager Tobin plans to continue these Tuesday night indoor sessions foi several weeks.
 Frank l.. Quimby, former coach at Yale, will be on hand tomorrow to put the boys through their paces, the manager has been assured.

 BE KEPT IN THIS COUNTRY

 Paddock, Now on Way.

New York, April 13.---Charles J. Paddock, the star sprinter of the Uni versity of Southern California, will be unable to compete in Paris this spring unless the Amateur Athletic Union makes an exception in his case. Pad dock left Pasadena on Wednesday for this city and plans to compete in special games in Paris He will get no further than New York. however, unless the Amateur Athletic Union makes special ruling exempting him from the decision reached yesterday regarding competition of American athletes this year.
 The decision, as given out at A. A. U. headquarters yesterday is that the A. A. U. will refuse permission to all amateur athletes in the sports over which the Amateur Athletic Union claims Jurisdiction. to go abroad to compete in international meets this summer, with the exception of the Yale Harvard track teams
 These teams are to go to England to meet the teams of Oxford and Cam- bridge in July, in accordance with plans discussed when the English uni versty teams were here in 1921 and consummated year ago.
 This arrangement calls for alternate meets in this country and England between Oxford and Cambridge and Yale and Harvard, Princeton and Cornell and Pennsylvania every year except Olympic years.
 J. NJ Maccabe said yesterday that this action was deemed necessary be- cause of the abnormal demand for American athletes to compete abroad this year. It was felt that unless this action was taken large group of Americas most prominent athletes would be competing in Europe at time when they will be needed at home to arouse public interest in ath- etics preparatory to our olymplc campaign.

Joe Currie Gets Decision in New
 Haven Milling

Joe Curfie, New Haven's fistic war; horse, won a 12-round decision over Al Shubert, the King Tut" of New Bedford, in the feature bout at the Nutmeg A. c. boxing card held at Music hall in New Haven last night. The effort of Matchmaker Tony" Paolillo to place boxing on firm basis in the Elm City was met with a cordial response from the fans, ap- proximately 1,5o0 being present. Curric weighed l2sM and shubert Shubert 130 1-4 pounds "Young" NcAuliffe of Bridgeport was the third man in the ring.
 The star bout was fast and hard fought at times but was marred some what by constant clinching of both contestants. Currie fought his usual cageX fight. while Shubert devoted his efforts strictly to infighting.
 Until the last two rounds Shubert appeared to have the edge on <the New Havener. Shubert scored a knockdown with straight left 1ab in the sixth round, but no count was taken.
 Currie finished the last two sessions in whirlw1nd fashion, uSlng lcII hand jab to perfection. and getting away without return from the "Bearcat."
 It was probably due to the strong finish made by Currie that the Elm City scrapper received the decision, althoughs many fans believed the ver- dict to be slightly more than he earned
 Preliminaries
 Young Silverberg of Meriden con- tinued his recent string of victories by defeating Willie Connors, of Green wich in the eight-round bout which preceded the final contest. The Silver City boxers superior boxing ability decided the issue. Connors displayed a good right hand and had Silver burg cautious throughout the bout No knockdowns occurred. Connors weighed 121 IA and Silverburg 12O pounds.
 Decision Ragged
 The fans booed the decision with much gusto, due probably to the fact that Silverburg handed Spike Mar

 Conlon joined the Boston Braves this spring. He has been one of the sensations of the southern training camps.
 It is possible that he will be start ed at shortstop in place of the vet eran Larry Kopf, who seemed to have the position cinched.

FIRST WHITE BOY BORN
Paul Cook Has Distinction of
Being First Native White
Male Born in Village.

In the celebration of his thirty
ninth birth anniversary at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Cook
on River Street last Wednesday
evening, the facts were brought
out that Mr.. Cook was the first
white boy born in the village of
Eagle River.
His parents Mr.. and Mrs. L. ].
Cook came to this village when
it was in formation, settling on
the same lot where the Cook home
now stands. This was in the ear
ly SOS and Paul was born here
shortly after the Cooks came from
down state.' His father was the
first white man to establish a store
in Eagle River, and was in part
nership with George Dickinson,
now living in California.
Paul first saw the light of day
in this wilderness on October 10th,
1884. Outside of few years spent
in Wausau, he has been a resident
of his native village, and is now
following the business here as an
electrician He is a member of
the city band and a royal good
fellow in the whole.
Wednesday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Cook entertained a number of
friends at their home on River
street at a six o'clock anniversary
dinner. Those present we're Mr..
and Mrs. w. J. Davies, Mr.. and
Mrs. Edw Eckhoff, Mr.. and Mrs.
f E. Adams, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. B.
Cook, Mr.. and Mrs. O. G. Walstad,
Mr.. and Mrs. G. M. Nash.
The first white child Ga GRID
to be born in Eagle River was
Myrtle Lee, preceding that of Paul
Cook. She died several years ago
at Three Lakes, and this gives to
Mr.. Cook the record of being the
first living white child born in the
village who still makes the place
his home.
