WE BUY OLD GOLD HANS WAGNER GRIEVES FOR HIS DEPARTED DOG CHICAGO, July 9.—Honus Wagner’s dog is dead, and the great shortstop of the Pittsburg ball team is heart-broken. For the last nine years Wagner has cared for but two things, baseball and his dog, Jason Weatherbee. Wagner received the neys in this city that Jason was dead, poisoned by some person who cared little for baseball or dog. The great Hans wanted to leave immediately for Pittsburg to bury his dog and prepare the poisoner for the undertaker, and it took all the authority that Fred Clarke, the manager of the Pittsburg team, could bring to bear to Induce Wagner to wait until the club returned to Pittsburg. Wagner has one of the most peculiar personalities in baseball. He has made few friends, preferring to stay by him self, but the dog has been his constant companion, and Jason never was absent from the Pittsburg bench when the Pi rates were playing at home. Frequent ly Wagner took Jason on the road with him. One of the familiar sights around Carnegie, Pa., where Wagner lives, was the big shortstop riding in his automo bile with his dog. Jason’s final official appearance was in the last games the Pirates played at home with the St. Louis club on Deco ration day. Wagner was put out of the contest at that time for objecting to a decision of the umpire. As Wagner was leaving the field Jason dashed out from the bench, much after the manner of an irate, protesting manager, and tried to attack the umpire. Hans always de clared that the dog understood the ins and outs of big league baseball. VOL.

YALE MAY REVERT TO PROFESSIONAL COACHING NEW HAVEN, CONN., July 9.—Cap tain Charley Snowden of the Yale crew has not yet announced his coaching plans for next season, and indications are now that he will take considerable time before doing so. It Is believed by some that he' may not accept the poli cy of graduate coaching which was in augurated last year, although there is grave doubt that he will revert to the system of professional coaching, which was discarded last season. One plan that is discussed is to make Cook head coach, with Averill Harri man assistant regular (poach, giving him charge when Cook is absent. Harri man coached the freshmen last sea son, and his eight-oared class boat finished only half a length behind one' of the fastest freshman crews Harvard ever sent to the Thames. His class four defeated the Harvard 1915 quar tet handily in a mile race, the only event of the regatta captured by a tale shell. Cook said today in speaking of Har riman : "1 regard Mr. Harriman as the most prominent and promising coming crew coach in any American university.” THE BASEBALL CARD. SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Today.

He doesn't know if WaJsh lock it. but his work in dicates (bat he did something. “After the season of 1905," said the "bug.” “I walked to the station with Walsh. I asked him what he intended to do in the winter. He said he was going to do nothing. “Then 1 told him he Was about the worst pitcher I had ever seen and de scribed to him how Christs Mathewson, before he gained control, had rented a barn, painted a target at one end. and pitched into the target all winter until he emerged in the spring with the best control in the league.
