Here They Come—There They Go— The rollcall of the game shows how few ball players last ten years in the major leagues.

A let- ter from Lieutenant Colonel Squier, in charge of the aviation section of the signal corps, says in part: “I am much interested in the plan.

Waivers | have been asked on the player by | Manager George Stallings of ' the | Boston club, and this is proof that he is no longer wanted by the Braves, as the compulsery waiver system in vogue in the National league prevents Stallings from holding the plaver if another club is willing to pay the waiver price. Snodgrass evidently was informed of this, as he applied some | time ago for the position of baseball coach at Harvard. Rumars have | linked him in trades involving the | Boston, St. Louis and Chicago clubs. COWLER OUT IN FIRST. New York, Jan. 10—One champion- | ship bubble received delayed bril- liancy and another was hopclessly ex- ploded last night at the Broadway Sporting club of Brooklyn, where Fred Fulton, the erstwhile plasterer from Rochester, Minn., knocked out Tom Cowler, announced as ‘‘the Cumber- land Man Mountain from England in the first round of what was sched- uled to be the main ten-rounc bout. The contest had hardly begun before it was ended, and ended in a work- manlike manner that indicates the victor is the most formidahle contend- er for Jess Willard’s coveted cham- pionship laurels.

New York, gan. 10.—George Sand- berg, a minor league catcher, who was with Albany and Reading last son, is the latest player to ignore the requests of the Players’ Fraternity and sign a contract with the Giants. Sand- berg's document reached Secretar Foster yesterday. This marks the first break in the ranks of the minor leaguers, who, according to President David L. Fultz, were ordcred not to sign until the national had granted their demands. Sandberg and Sterling Stryker, one of the Giants’ rookie pitchers, have received permission from the New York club to take a trip to Cuba. On this barn-storming trip are other players recommended to Manager McGraw. If the trip to Cuba goes through the Giants’ man- ager will have a chance tc look over these youngsters and.see if they are worth taking along to Marlin. ODD FELLOWS WIN, - Phenix lodge, I. O, O.

Dimes Are Dirt Catchers and Remedy is Sought. ‘Washington, Jan. 10.—Director of the Mint Von Engelken is experiment- ing with a coin-washing machine, de- signed to clear silver coins much after the manner that paper money is laun- dered at present. The machine is largely Mr. Von Engelkens invention and is designed to dry and count the coins. Two of them, it is believed, would be sufficient to care for all the dirty coins in the country, restoring them to their former cleanliness and luster. Pennies will not be washed by the new machine but may be calorized by an electric press which = slightly changes their color, makes them prac- tically impervious to dirt ard hardens them.

Philadelphia, Jan. 10.—The Univer- sity of Pennsylvania football team will play twelve games next fall, accord- ing to the 1917 schedule ratified by the faculty committee last night. Opening with Albright, a newcomer, on Sep- tembér 22, the season will close with the Cornell contest at Franklin Field on November 30. Games are scheduled with the Ar- my, Carlisle Indians, Bucknell and the { Pennsylvania Military college, none of which Pennsylvania met last season. ! With the exception of the Army game which will be played at West Point, and that with Dartmouth at Boston, all the contests will be played at Franklin Field. The Indians will be welcomed back here, as they always played a remarkable game. Th sched- ule follows: September 22, Albright; 29, Frank- lin and Marshall; October 6, Army; 15, Swarthmore; 20, Bucknell; 27, Pittsburgh; November 3, Lafayette; 6, Pennsylvania Military college; 10, Dartmouth; 17, Michigan; 24, Car- lisle; 30, Cornell. TO WORK OVERTIME. Harvard Track Candidates to Train at Night for B. A, A. Games. Boston, Mass.,, Jan. 10.—Harvard will work a night shift for its track candidates in the months to come in an effort to bolster the strength of the field event division. A new lighting system has been arranged in the base- ball cage on Soldiers’ Field the candi- dates for the broad jump, shot putt and pole vault will have afternoon and evening practice during the months of winter and early spring. Track work has opened at Cam- bridge, where the drive to prepare the Crimson relay teams for their clash with Yale at the B. A, A. meet at Mechanics' building on February 3 starts. The Harvard and Yale 'varsity teams will compete in the 780 and 390 yard dashes and the freshman teams of the two universities will meet in the short relay event at the B. A. A. entertainment.

Personally T should like te see what the figures show in oftens¢ and defense between the two clubs for 1916. CAMBRIDGE. Detroit led upon attack in every de- tail—batting, base running, run mak- ing. Boston had all the best of it in pitching. We. haven’t the fielding records at hand, but there would be very little difference here. Another advantage that Boston had was greater all around determination to win—a determination that maintained its grimness beyond the departure of Speaker and the later loss of Jack Barry. Close Call. Sir: I made a resolution at the first af the year not to miss a single putt this season. I almost broke it yester- day, when a 30-footer hung on the lip of the cup before finally toppling in. Hereafter I won’t be as careless. HIPPO (Pinehurst.) “I strongly telieve in developing the attack in baseball,” writes K. H. F., “in order to give a few ambitious fellows like Ty Cobb a chance to make a hit once in a while. As it is, look how helpless he and Speaker were all last year.” “If this Australian visitor ever meets Jess Willard,” suggests Fuzzy, “there will be one Less Darcy in the world.” Yet there are those who say we have no use for a 16-inch gun. “Manager Mitchell says the Cub catching department is the weakest spot on the team.” O Tempora—O Mawruss—Ilikewise O shades of Johnny Kling and Jimmy Archer. In any event, Chicago has drawn more than its share of good catchers. In the last ten years the White Sox list has included Billy Sullivan and Ray Schalk; the Cub list has embraced Johnny Kling, Jimmy Archer and TRoger Bresnahan. Call out five other catchers anywhere near the same class. There are times when it requires unlimited courage, brains, judgment and foresight to quit cold. Always provided the aforesaid quitting is but an Interlude to a fresh start. Y. M. C. A. ATHLETICS. The first of a series of athletic con- tests among the members of the senior class of the Y. M. C. A. was held last evening, the results being as follows: William Dennis won the ome lap run in 72-5 seconds, won the high jump with a leap of 5 feet 1 inch. The entrants stand as follows, showing the points made: A. Bottomley, 49; G. Holmquist, G. Han- nan and W. Kirlew, 47; P. Kallgren and W. Dennis, 46; E. Norfeldt, 45; ¥. Brady, 44; M. Eystrand, 43; D. Edwards, 43. In the high school class O. Shaw won the one lap run with a time of 7 and 2-5 seconds and A. Kolodney and M. Shurberg were tied in the jump with 4 feet 6 inches. | WRIGHT BACK AT PENN. Philadelphia, Jan. 9.—Joe Wright has returned to the University of Pennsylvania to resume his duties as coach of the crews. Wright today re- sumed his duties. The former Ar- gonaut oarsman was not expected to return to the university this year, for when he left for Canada in the fall it was belleved that he would be on his way to the front by the time spring practice began. 3 HAVOC IS WROUGHT | IN SYRACUSE TEAMS Fight Football Players, Including-4# Captain, Declared Ineligible Syracuse, N.
