He is willing to spend a fortune to see the lad “given a Mquare deal,” as he puts It. There are many other wealthy graduates of Tech who, too, nave de clared that they will see the case through to a finish. In rendering their decision the S. I. A.

Tech authorities claim that it was Colonel Bingham, president of the Bingham School, who gave the evi dence that caused the young John son City boy to be ruled out. Colonel Bingham issued a statement a few weeks ago to the effect that he gave Preas free tuition at the prep school partly for his athletic ability and partly for his all-round good work In his classes.

Twenty-two Players Have Already Signed Lookout Contracts for Next Season. C ^HATTANOOGA, TENN., Dec. 13. ^ Manager “Moose'' McCormick already has at hi* disposal 22 athletes from which to pick his 1914 team. Of this total ten are reserved from the 1913 aggregation while twelve are athletes signed by the former pinch- swatter of the Giants after stepping into the breach left vacant by one Norman (Kid) Elberfeld. From the standpoint of positions (he men are divided as follows: Four outfield ers, six lnfielders, four catchers and • eight hurlers The pitchers are. Kroh, Sommers, Howell, Grimes, Lorenzen, Sline, Gross and Hardin. Catchers, Graham, Street, Giddo and a semi- pro whose title McCormick has not yet announced. lnfielders. Coyle. Flick, Balenti, Graff, Gillespie, and Brandt. Outfielders, McCormick, Ja cobson. K^ing and Johnson. * * * \\J HILE the statement that 22 men are under contract ana will oe brought to Andrews Field for the spring work-out lends the impres sion that McCormick faces difficult problems in elimination in practically ©very department, such is far from being the case. On the other hand, the Lookouts, taking into considera tion the period of the year, are better fixed than has ever been the case since 1911. when Billy Smith had his aggregation of plutocrats signed be fore the new year dawned. in fact, in only the outfield and the heaving departments does McCormick face the necessity of indulging in se rious thought in making final selec tions. 'Pake a glance at the receiving ma terial. With Street, Graham, Giddo and a semi-pro signed it can be stated with all but absolute certainty that “Gabby” and Pat will fill the two positions. Both are capable and heads men and are dangerous hit ters There seems no chance of any aspirant crowding either «»f the pitchers mentioned out of a perma nent berth. THE heavers, as before admitted, * present a real problem. Kroh, Sommers. Howell. Grimes and Sline appear to have the inside track upon tlie five regular berths, but nothing is definitely settled. Hardin. Loren- zen and Gross are all highly recom mended. The first two were secured from Detroit, while the latter is a local seini-pro. The first quint named gives McCormick two southpaws and three right-handers. It is an admit ted fact, however, that “Moose'' ex pects to get further material from McGraw. ao the matter is delightfully unsettled. The infield is already pretty well defined, with Coyle on the initial sack. Flick on the keystone cushion. Balen ti ut short and Graff on third. Brandt or Gillespie will be retained as util ity man with the chances favoring the former, if he lives up to expecta tions. because of his youth. In the outfield the problem resolves itself absolutely into a fight between Jacobson and King for (‘enter. Jack Johnson in left and McCormick in right are absolute fixtures. Willard Stops Davis In Second Round By Tad House-Cleaning for Volunteers -!-•*!* 4 , **r +••£ +•*{• +•+ Schwartz Wants New Players BUFFALO, N. Y.. Dec. 13. Jess Wil lard, of Kansas, knocked out George (One-Round> Davis at the Queensberry Athletic Club last night in the second round of a scheduled ten-round bout. Willard weighed 238** pounds and Da\i« 189**t Willard's superior weight and reach gave him an immense advantage Davis forced the fighting at the start but after being .iarred by a punch or two he elected to stand off and box Davis survived only a minute and a half of the second round, and it was fully five minutes before he got off the floor after the knockout BAKER HELD TO DRAW.

McFarland Hopes to Redeem Himself by BoxingMikeGibbons CHICAGO. Dec 13 -Packey McFar land Is out to redeem himself. He feels that he did not do jus tice to the McFarland reputation as a boxer and fighter in his recent collision with .lack Britton at Milwaukee. Smarting under criticism of his failure to do more than shade Britton and alarmed because of the defections from the ranks of his friends, the speed mer chant of the yards is ready and willing to tackle the toughest man in the game of his weight. He won’t meet him in Milwaukee, however. The big mill is to come off m Madison Sou a re Garden, New York, because it will draw three dollars there to one iron man in Mil waukee. No doubt you have surmised by this time that Mike Gibbons, the man who slaughtered Wildcat Ferns at New Or leans Wednesday night, is to be Pack- ey's opponent. Yes, he’s the fellow, and if McFarland actually signs up to meet the great Michael all the soft matches of recent years will be forgiven him. If he whales the phantom from the North west he will win back all the friends he lost last Monday eve. and then some. Ex-Cracker Catcher Purchased by Gulls MEMPHIS. TENN.. Dec. 13.—Manager Finn, of the Memphis club, to-day an nounced the purchase of Catcher Wade Reynolds from the Macon club of the South Atlantic League. Reynolds for merly played with Atlanta, being sub catcher under Charley Hemphill in the spring of 1912 He was injured last season and as a consequence played in but few games Manager Finn intends to use him as second-string catcher or assistant to the veteran Harry Bemls.

Somers, president of the Cleveland American League club, who also owns the New Orleans franchise, admitted to-day that negotiations are pending with lieine- rnan. but denied that they had been closed. _ _ _ J Athletic Club Five Food for Sport Fans R « ad .y f ° r 'Nooga' Quintet To-night IN 1920. MADISON. WIS., Dec. 13.—Anoth- 1 er wave of reform surpassing that of 1913 was instituted here to-day by faculty representatives of the confer ence in their annual meeting at tie W. C. T. U. One of the most drastic measures adopted wasthe elimination of croquet from the intercollegiate athletic pro gram and the substitution of chess as a major sport. For some time croquet has been viewed with disfavor owing to its brutality, but to-day’s action was due directly to the deplorable ac cident in last Saturday’s game, when Harold Fuzzlethwaite, captain of tne Minnesota team, was carried from the field with a broken stay. It was also decided to substitute the game of authors for tiddledewinks, as the latter game has a tendency to heat the blood and render the participants foroetful of their dignity as college athletes. Wisconsin received a heavy blow in the expulsion of Archibald Umph, the clean-up hitter of the Badger debat ing team. It was discovered that lie had once participated in a debate with his father over the size of his month ly allowance. According to Rule 5, Section 7, the said debate has made him a rank professional. Shortly before the close of the ses sion Professor Pussyfoot formulated the following resolutions, which will be placed before the Ancient and Hon orable Order of Mollycoddles for ap proval : “Resolved. That students be per mitted to take no part in the conduct of intercollegiate games, but be re quired to take seats in the stands with the spectators, while the faculty members play the games on paper. “Resolved. That the undignified cheering which has marred intercol- leqiate sport in the past be restrict ed. and that no spectator be permit ted to applaud any louder than a whisper under pain of expulsion from the park. “Resolved, That no student be al lowed to participate in intercollegiate athletics whose collar exceeds No 14. or whose chest measurement exceeds 24 inches/’ The meeting closed with a stirring address by Professor Erasmus Bilge- water on “Til© S^bjuqation of the Red Corpuscle.” The report that Charlie Murphy in tends to start a ball league in Scot land must have been due to a mis print. It should have been a bull league? YOU CAN SEARCH ME. The air is filled with breezes chilled And storms of bleak December, While far away the athletes stray Where sunlight smiles the livelong day. But where the Sox and Giants play I can not quite remember. If Billy Papke can hurt his hand on a punching bag, the only way he can make any impression on George j Chip is to use brass knuckles. It is said that Ad Wolgast conducts | a farm in Michigan when not en gaged in making matches and calling j them off. ONE VIRTUE. We find some good in everything, whatever 11 may be. And if we probe but deep enough, some virtue we may see. The six-day raee. for instance, is a pastime dull and drear. But. like the merry Christmastide, it comes but once a year. Official records show that Christy ; Mathewson is the most effective pitcher in the National League. Mr. Mathewson is a cripple much after 1 the fashion of Hans Wagner. CONTROL. | They say that Christy Mathewson’s control is wondrous great. ':And wondrous t« thr way he works the corners of the plate. I They say he has a baseball trained ! to such obedience I That he. can hit a knothole in the distant right-field fence. | But Matty hadn't anything on me j when I was young. And deadly and unerring were the I snowballs that 1 flung. And though I may hare missed a few <Big Six himself does that) I never missed irheti throwing at a shining stovepipe hat. To-night the Atlanta Athletic Club basket ball team plays Its second game of the season, clashing with the Chat tanooga Tigers. The boys from Lookoutville defeated the strongest teams in the State last year. In the Atlanta team the Tennessee quintet is meeting a bunch of seasoned ball tossers and should find the locals hard nuts to crack. Both teams are in the best of condi tion. The Atlanta boys put in their final scrimmage last night and Coach Bean says his players are ready for the fray. The Tigers arrived this morning The line-up of the teams will be as fol lows: CHatta.

Yesterday the match was consum mated. articles being signed which call for the two to be in the ring in Du- quesne Garden on Tuesday night, De cember 23. N ashville, tenn.. Dec. 13.— That clean-up campaign in augurated by Bill Schwartz is not panning out as the howling and hurrahing success which it was in tended to be The Boy Manager's widely advertised marked down sale of shopworn ball tossers. after start ing off with a whoop, with the sale of the baseball pitcher Flehartv to Venice and Catcher Eddie Noyes to Galveston, has sorted bagged down at the knees, which causes many wrin kles to infect the erstwhile placid brow of Mr. Schwartz. It’s something to put on the block a bunch of old-time stars and yelp for bidders. and something else again to gain the attention of a few purchasers, as the Vole’ boss can tes tify. Bill can stand any sort of lung test that can be devised, so it isn’t that he isn’t yelling loud enough, but the Southern League moguls don’t seem to be jostling each other to pay real money for any of the Schwartzmen. Looks as if Bill wMll have to dump all those slated for the discard into a big sack and ped dle them out at the Atlanta meet ing much after the manner of those pussy-footed and persistent foreign ers who have fuzzy looking shawls to dispose of at fancy prices. * Even though he isn’t having any luck at getting rid of the 1912 Vols, Schwartz keeps on talking in glow ing terms about next season and smiling mysteriously about where they are to come from. But you don’t hear the Boy Manager making any phonograph records about where next season’s crop is to come from. For that might crab some of the present arrangement with a prosper ous major league club to hand some of its surplus material to the Vols for ripening. Schwartz is pretty sweet in the idea of having a big league club build up his team, jut as the St. Louis Browns did for Montgom ery for the past two seasons with most excellent results. W * • • E haven’t got the money to rush out and bolster up the club when we begin to crack by buying high-priced major leaguers who are on their way out. like Atlanta does every season.” says Rill. Fact is, "e haven t made any money to carry on that sort ofi thing for some time past, bumping into all kinds of trou ble on this Sunday ball proposition and winding up by having to pay the costs in the case, which amounted to enough to make a big dent in the national debt. Why, at the end of last season we were in such a fix that we weren’t able to draft anv players from the class R and C leagues. t , har arr »n*emein we had with Brooklyn did us practically no good at all, for what they were will ing to give us were players passed up by Newark and if they can’t make good in the International I don’t eee how they can make good in the Southern, which in my opinion is the fastest of the minors. We tried Cincinnati a while, but the players Herrmann sent down here, like Mc Manus and Dalgren, only cost us a lot of time fooling- with them and aid the club no good at all. „ TV se ® son we are going to have a club made up of hard-hitting fel- fas J and heady on the paths, if i can I intend to start with a set nlw t7/ aC f S_n6W t0 the club a » d wJ j 1 *, lca f u «—if Possible. I have mtew la ' ld 'ng some high-class Jwii and 1 ousht ,0 he abI< * to develop one or two dependable twirl- ers from the recruits I will start with.” • « • I N the box Schwartz will have back 1 Forest More, secured in the mid dle of last season from Chattanooga, and Boland, who came to the Vols when the Akron Club disbanded and showed worlds of “stuff,” but rather poor control. Next season he should make one of the star slabmen of the circuit. There was Sam Hendee. the giant Iowa coal miner, who started off like a cyclone and blew up with a bang, yet down in the Kitty League he had a great season and Schwartz figures he is about ripe for fast company. The same goes for Leslie Johnson, a recruit from West Tennessee, who was farmed alone with Hendee to the Kitties and proved one of the leading heavers in that league. Snyder, another Kitty Ging er who finished the 1913 season with the Vols. will be given a chance, and and a big left-hander named Rogers who was recommended by Hub Per due has been signed. Bill is hoping for great things from this boy. who was covered up with Henderson last season until he could wear the rough edges off his work. This crop of heavers won’t win the bunting in the Southern, but Schwartz has his weather eye peelei for several fancy slabbers who, If they are landed, should make the Vols riflemen one of the most depend* able hurling crews in Judge Kava* naugh’s circuit. One of the pros pects is Ben Harris, a Nashville boy, who for the past two seasons has been with Denver in the Western League. Ben don’t seem to be able to get friendly with the peculiar cli mate out there and is anxious to get back down in Dixie. Hie work has always been of high grade and the Nashvills boss is willing to part with a large chunk of money if his release can be bought.
