Wesley Ferre||
Is ReinStdted

BOSTON, Aug. IS. Tempera-
mental Yves Ferrell, bad boy" of
the Red Sox who walked off the
pitching mound in New York last
Friday and drew suspension and
$1,000 fine, was reinstated today
following heart-to-heart talk with
Manager Joe Cronin.
But, Manager Cronin an
nounced, the $1,000 fine still
stands.
Not only that, but the three-day
layoff over the weekend, while he
was under suspension, will cost
another $400, making a total dent
in Ferrell's 1886 pay envelope of
$1,400.
Yves was to be in uniform this
afternoon, and may pitch tomor-
row. Cronin said Ferrell promised
to "toe the line" and play ball.
Other than that, Joe refused to
divulge what went on in the con-
ference.
The beau brummen pitcher was
the first to feel the sting of
Cronin's newly adopted lash in
whipping the million-dollar but
lackadaisical Red Sox into line.
Cronin landed hard on Ferrell
when the latter walked from the
rubber in the game with New York
last Friday, following an error by
Eric McNair. Ferrell claimed
later he had got signal from the
bench to quit.

ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 25.-With h
the start of practice for the new
plebe class and the beginning Of
special leave for the 88 members
of the varsity squad, Navy foot
ball is actually entering into the
season of 1896.
So far as material goes, the
Navy has never had it in such
abundance, nor has it ever started
a season on the gridiron more
auspiciously. Apparently n e
Navy is strong in every line this
year-weight, strength and expert
ence, line men, ends and backs.
Summer athletics will end with
Saturdays games, and the foot
ball men from the plebe class
have been busy getting their out
fits this week, preparatory to the
start of field work Monday. Until
the varsity men get back, the
varsity coaches, headed by Tom
Hamilton, will give their atten'
ton to the plebes.
800 Plebes Ready
About half the plebe class will
want to play football, forming
group of over 800. All will be
given a chance, but the squad will
have to be cut shortly to about
100. The outlook is for another
strong plebe team, such as the
Navy has had for the last three
seasons.
The varsity candidates from the
first and third classes, who have
been on the practice cruise, under
charge of Yves Byng, former Dis
trict player, will be back Saturday,
and with members of the second
class, who have spent the summer
here, will start on their leave. All
will be- back to start work on Sep
tember 4.
A line on the material available
at the Navy this year is found in
the fact that it will be able to use
a lot of its big fellows-from 100
pounds to over 200-in the back
field this year. Always in previous
years, this type had to be uSed IN
the line.
Four Big Backs
Four of the big backs are from
the fine plebe eleven of last year.
Jim Dean and Hrold Hansen,
backs last year, are two of them,
and, from the same class, two big
linemen-Lou Burke and AL Wal
lace - have been converted into
backs. Then there is Frank Case,
regular fullback, and Bob Antrim.
a very promising half. who are
weighing 100 pounds each this
season.
The Navy is counting largely
on Sneed Schmidt, its Stocky back,
who played a whale of a game
against the Army last year. Other
running backs of whom a lot is
expected are Tom Edwards, Newell
Thomas and Bill Ingram. There
are a host Of others, from the
varsity squad of last year and
from the plebe squad.
