March 27.—The approach of the baszball season emphasizes Low completely the expelled members of the White Sox baseball team of 1919 have passed into oblivion. All of them but Buck Weaver have shaken the dust of Chicago from their boots. Weaver still lingers here, running a drug store and attempting to circu- late a petition for reinstatement into baseball. Since his final turndown by Judge K. M. Landis the petition has lanquished. It had very few signa- tures, None of the others tried to break Lack into the game. Happy Felch (the nickname sounds rather ironical now) is reported to be in Milwaukee. Kddie Cicotte is living with his fam- ily very quietly in Detroit, where he first broke into baseball. Joe Jack- son disappeared shortly after the courts found that there was no legal action possible against him. Jackson the shattered idol of the Chicago small boys, is somewhere in the south. Risberg, called “The Swede,"” is reported to be in California. No- hody in Chicago knows what has be- come of Chick Gandil and Lefty Wil- liams. The mainstays of what might have been an even greater machine than the famous Athletics are scattered and forgotten. Only the memory of the shame that they brought to the game lingers behind them. GIANT YAN GANS BEATEN. Eight Home Runs Mark Game Lost to Indianapolis, 7-5. Marlin, Tex., March 27.—In a game featured by eight home runs here yesterday afternoon the New York Giant Yannigans were defeated by the Indianapolis Indians by a score of 7 to 5. The game was a free hitting con- test, each team pounding the ball hard. Home runs were made for the Giants by Kinsella, Samade, XKopf, Hale, and for the Indians by Krueger, Purcell and two by Morrison. The score: Indianapolis (A.A.) . New York 2d (N.) ..

Schaefer will defend his title of world's prof« on- al 18.2 balkline champion, which he acquired by winning the international tournament in November, against Willie Hoppe, who held the crown for sixteen scasons and at one time was regarded as unbeatable. They will play through Wednesday in nightly blocks of 500 points for a total of 1,600, The match will be staged in Orchestra Hall, where seating ar- rangements for more than 1,700 per- sons have been made, Can Willic Come Back It is another chapter in that time- worn question, “can they come back ?" True it is that Willie has never been very far away. Since his defeat by Schaefer he has gone along playing his customary exhibition tour with all the eclat and the finesse that he ever showed, but the fact that he was de- thromed after so long a reign neces- sarily places this match in the cate- gory of attempts to come back. Because of the unparalled promi- nence that Hoppe had gained as a blakline billiardist his challenge match against Jake, son of the late “wizard” who at one time held the title that now decorates the letter heads of his son, will be followed with the keenest of interest. It takes quite a healthy memory to recall another match in which there was greater or more wide-spread interest. Certain it is that it is not within the ken of the modern billiardist to recall such an event. Schaefer is Favorite In Chicago Schaefer is reported to be the favorite.

They also consider Hoppe one of the greatest “money players” of all time. By “money players’ is meant a player who can play at his best when the mostis at stake. For this reason there has been no mad rush on the part of billiard enthusiasts to risk anything on the outcome of the coming match. The players are reported to be in excellent stroke. They have been practicing diligently. Immediately after his defeat in the international tournament in Chicago, Hoppe started his exhibition tour. He played al- most daily exhibitions until a little more#than a week ago, when he began practice in private. He is reported to have made a grand average of fifty during his exhibition tour. His per- formances are said to have been liber- ally spiced with runs of 200 and more and since beginning practice in private Hoppe is reported to have made at least one run of better than 400. Schaefer’s Health Improved Schaefer, too, plunged into exhibi- er balls have been supplied and heating arrangements have been made so that the temperature will be excellent for the hest of billiards at all times. der these conditions the play should be of a high order in spite of the fact that the diamond of the world's championship, a purse of $1,000 are at stake.

Is statement follows: “I am heartily in accord with the spirit that has actuated the represen- tatives of the Harvard Crimson, the Daily Princetonlan and the Yale News in suggesting changes in the present football program. Should Train Early “Their recommendation that there shall be no football practice before the formal opening of college in the autumn is theorctically sound but practically the reverse, because of weather conditions in the east the playing time of football is confined to about two months. All other college sports have practically unlimited op- portunity for practice. The crews be- gin work before Christmas for races in the late spring. DBaseball teams start prior to Washington's birthday for major games to be played in May and June. Even the so-called minor sports such as basketball, hockey, wrestling; tennis and golf, have more than sufficient opportunity for prac- tice. “To expect a football team to be developed in six weeks without tre- mendous hazard to those playing is nothing short of an absurdity. No young man should be permitted to play such a strenuous game without at least three weeks' preliminary training and even this is much less than that given candidates for the crews and the baseball teams, “The Harvard, Princeton, Yale series is played under heavy pres- sure. No boy should be put in such a test without adequate and sufficient preparation. If we could play foot- ball until Christmas, I would be heartily in accord with the proposed program, but under any other condi- tions, it is out of the question. Opposes Inter-Sectional Games “I have never been in favor of in- ter-sectional games. They cause a distraction and turmoil in the whole college vastly out of proportion to their importance. 'The more we con- fine all sorts of athletic competition to logical and natural rivalries elim- inating long, tiresome and unneces- sary trips, the better it will be for everyhody. “The suggestion of a joint commit- tee on eligibility with all the cards on the table is an admirable one. I would even go further in regard to athletes transferring from one college to another than the committee and pass a rule that no athlete transfer- ring from another college would be cligible to participate on or represent, Harvard, Yale or Princeton in any athletic competition. Coaches Don't Cheat “The danger of the coach on the hench is an acselemic theory advanc- ed principally by those who have lit- tle practical experience with the game. 1 won't concede for a minute that football coaches believe in cheat- ing, and as a practical question there certainly should be some one near at hand to remove an injured man from the game. + March — {n- spirit of editorial 27, When A Feller Needs A Friend THAT BlLL - TICKETS FOR THE CIRCUS - | HAVE To Go oUT oF Town AND CAN'T USE THEM- Do You wNow OF ANYBoDY HERE'S A COUPLE ISN'T GOING § BY BRIGGS WHY No FRANK- ALL MY FRIENDS HAVE GoT TICKETS-- No | CAN'T THINK ofF A Soul -~
