There are many other wealthy •aduates of Tech who, too, have cle ared that they will see the case trough to a finish. In rendering their decision ihe S. A.

Tech authorities claim that it was olonel Bingham, president of the ingham School, who gave the evi- ence that caused the young John- ,n City boy to be ruled out. Colonel ingham issued a statement a few eeks ago to the effect thut he gave -reas free tuition at the prep school artlv for his athletic ability and artly for his all-round good work n his classes.

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. Y'rom the standpoint of positions the men are divided as follows: Four outfield ers, six in Holders, four catchers and f 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. Inflelders, Coyle, Flick, Balenti, Graff, Gillespie, and Brandt. Outfielders, McCormick, Ja cobson, King and Johnson. * * * YK7 MILE the statement that 22 men vv are under contract and will oe brought to Andrews Field for the spring work-out lends the impres sion that McCormick faces difficult problems in elimination in practically every 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 caste since 1611, when Billy Smith had his aggregation of plutocrats signed be fore tlie 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 Take a glance at the receiving ma terial. With Street, Graham, Giddo j 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 heady men and are dangerous hit ters. There seems no chance of any aspirant crowding either of the pitchers mentioned out of a perma nent berth. House-Cleaning for Volunteers *•* 4-»+ +•+ Schwartz Wants New Players N THE heavers, as before admitted, ‘ present a real problem. Kroh, Sommers. HoweU. Grimes and Sline appear to have the inside track upon the live 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 semi-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. so 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 at short and Graff on third. Brandt or Gillespie will be retained as util ity man with the i hances favoring the former, if he lives up to expecta tions. because of Ills youth. In tlie outfield the problem resolves itself absolutely into a fight between Jacobson and King for center. Jack Johnson in left and McCormick in right are absolute fixtures.

C. T. U. One of the most drastic measures adopted wasthe elimination of croquel 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’9 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 foraetful of their drgnity 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 he had once participated in a debate with his father over the size of his month ly allowance. According to Rule 5, Section 7, th# said debate has made him a rank professional.

G. -ASHYILLE, TENN., Dec. 13.— That clean-up campaign in augurated by Bill Schwartz la 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 fie baseball pitcher Flehartv to Venice and Catcher Eddie Noyes to Galveston, has sorted bagged down at the knees, which causes many wrin kies to infest the erstwhile placid brow of Mr. Schwartz. It’s something to put cn the block bunch of old-time stars and yelp for bidders. and something else again to gain the attention of a few purchasers, as the Vols’ 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 will 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 j ripening. Schwartz is pretty sweet . in the idea of having a big league ] club build up his team, jut as the Louis Browns did for Montgom- S ery for the past two seasons with i most excellent results. « • • \X7 E haven’t got the money to rush : out and bolster up the club I when we begin to crack by buying j high-priced major leaguers who are |on their way out. like Atlanta does | every season.” says Bill. “Fact Is. j we haven’t made any monev to carry on that sort of 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 B and C leagues. “Now. that arrangement we had with Brooklyn did us practically no good at all, for what they were will- to give us were players passed if they era from with.” the recruits I will start T N the box Schwartz win have beck 1 Forest More, secured in the mid die of la-st 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 Jjeslie Johnson, a recruit from West Tennessee, who was farmed alonv with Hendee to the Kitties and proved one of the leading heavers in that league. Snyder, another Kitty fling- 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, whu 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 hunting in the Southern, but Schwartz has his weather eye peeled 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 anck is anxious to get back down in Dixie. His work has always been of high grade and the Nashville boss is willing to part with a large chunk of money if his release can be bought. . ..Forbes .Du bard . . .Carte .
