Dr. Charles Whelan, the efficient Tufts football coach, is a member of the Medical Officers’ Reserve and the chances are largely that he will not be on hand when the football season opens at Medford next season. Tufts had looked forward to having a fine eleven next fall, but under normal conditions only two men of the team that defeated Harvard and _held Princeton to a 3 to 0 contest, would have been lost. Now, however, eniistment in the national service of several star play- ers has spoiled the outlook, while Dr. Whelan's probable absence alone would make the situation dubious. But Tufis need not be as gloomy as dispatches picture her: there will be Dr. football next fall anyway. This ap- plies also to Pittsburgh, whose crack football players: Hastings, DeHart, Sies, McLaren, Meadows, Seidel, Her- ron and Morrow have aiready enlisted for the training camp at Fort Niagara. The baseball nine has three games to play this week against Washington and Jefferson. Michigan Aggles and Pittsburgh Coilege. To date the nine has not lost a single game. One hun- dred and fifty Fordham men have left college to serve the government. All hietics have been abondoned, and such sport as is carried on will relate to interclass and departmental activi- ties. The experience which Herbert Hun- ter, recently released by the Cubs, will £ef on the Pacific coast will do him a world of good. Experlence is all he needs. NEW UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT 31 P.C.

Moosup Opens Season. “The Moosup baseball club will open its season Sunday, June 3, on the Car- pet grounds, Moosup. Manager Ami- don is trying to secure the Pawtucket Stars, considered one of the strons- est teams in Rhode Island, for the opening game. The fans will no doubt remember the fast, clean ball that was played here in the season of 1915 when such teams as Putpam and Southbridge visited this town. Mana- ger Amidon s to make a special ef- fort to give the ball fans in this lo- cality that same style of baseball the coming season. A strong battery with a fast team behind It is to be secured. Putnam Team Is Getting Ready. The Putnam club is fast getting into shape for its opening same with Southbridge on Memorial day. All last week a force of men were work- ing on the grounds, grading and rolling it into shape, makKing it the fastest diamond in this part of the state. The players are all in fine condition and_anxious to play ball. Capt. Gus MdNamee, the premier backstop, who caught Jim Hanly all last season, says the old boy never was in better formy. Jim is a great favorite with the Put- nam fans. During the entire season ihat he pitched he did not lose a game. Hanly pitched four seasons with Man- hattan college and while in college was_considered one of the hest college pitchers in the country. In 1914 he pitched for the New York Yankees, from there going to Ne wlersey, where AYER LIMIT TO National League Will Not Release Their Playing he played great ball. Jack Gilmore is another pitcher on the team who made quite a record while playing at Seton Hall coliege. Gilmore finished the season in 1913 with a batting average of .385. In 1914 he was the leading long distance hit- ter of the Colonial league, getting 15 home runs, 9 triples and 17 doubles, ending the season with an average of .313. In 1915 he got 3 home runs, § triples and 15 doubles, ending the sea- son with an average of .300. Last year he played with St. Mary’s in the Penn- sylvania league until they disbanded, from there coming to Putnam. N. F. A. LEADS.

Steel carried forward with it virtnally the entire list, the movement being almost of the runaway variety until the last hour, when there was an abrupt reversal and prices declined 2 to 3 points from the maximum of the mid-session. The dexand for Steel until the late setback of two points seemed insatiable, comprising about 30 per cent. o the total turnover of 1,30 6ue_shares. Other squipments and munitions that move.d with leading industrials on the uperade inciuded all the independent steel and iron issues at gross gains of one to three points, coppers at one to two poins. oils at one to three and shippings, which made belated advanc- es Among the motors, leathers and pa- pers, advances of one to two points ruled for a time, but the more specu- Iative stocks were . the first to lose ground, ciosing at no materlal chanee. Ralls were a negligible factor throughout. a few inactlve stocks like Colorado and Southern first preferred and Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis raising sharply on nom- inal dealings. Union Pacific and Reading were strong at times, the Jat- ter, however, making a net loss. New Haven was under pressure and fell 2 New York, May 2 5-8 to the mew low mark of 3§ 5-8, subsequently rallying half way. People’s Gas of Chicago was con- cpicuous for its extreme weakness at an extreme decline of 5 points to 70 5-5, but retrieved about half its loss. Other utilities were disposed to shade on the latest statements of local trac- tion officials. An increase in the an- nual dividend of Montana Power from 4 to 5 per cent. and irregularity in the foreign exchange market, due to the uncertain movements of Russian re- mittances, were among the financial incidents of the day.

From the obscurity of the sand lots i to stardom in the fastost baseball com- pany seems a long jump, but it can be negotiated both easily and quickly if one has the ambition and courage to try his hardest. Roger Hornsby, the shortstop of the St. Louis Cardinals, stands today a fitting proof of the as- sertion. Roger Horneby, at the age of twen- ty-one, is one 'of the greatest stars of the National League. ~Three years ago this spring he played his first professional angagement with Hugo, in the Téxas-Oklahoma leagie. ear ago he was a fixture with the rdinals; he had won his spurs in the few games he plaved with St. Lonis in the fall of 1915. A striplings of nineteen, fresh from the plains and with practically no minor league experience, who on his first brief trip with a club desper- ately in need of strengthening could ogthit and outfleld such veteran fix- tures of the game as the mighty Wagnes, the temperamental Zimmer- man and the gingery Herzog, might be excused for betraying small traces of egotism. Horsby is not of that type. Roger Hornsby is a modest, un- assuming, gentlemanly young man. He wears the same sized hat that he wore when he first arrived in St. Louis. He radiates the cheeriness and wholesomeness of youth and health. His ruddy fact and dark bron eves are as open as the plains. Hornsby is a well knit Jad just past his majority. He is exactly six feet in height and weighs 175 pounds. On close contact, when one can escape the brown eves, the most striking characteristic, perhaps, is this young fellow’s hands. They are hands of a size and_power that would delight even a Wagner. - Horsby, like Wag- nes, is possessed of exceptional reach and breadth of shoulders. He will be a physical giant when he broadens out in maturity. He is a product of Fort Worth, Texas. “I was born Texas, April 27, 1896" he “though the family moved to Worth when T was very young. earliest recollections have to do with Forth Worth. And baseball s one of my_earliest recollections. “The time of the baseball war be- tween the National and American leagues T used to hear the bigger boys taking of the big salaries the stars of those days received. From then un- til T made the big league my every en- ergy was bent to that purpose. Every minute of my spare time I devoted to practice. When T had no one to prac. tice with T practiced alone. I hav spent hour after hour throwing at a tarket. “This practice, T believe, 15 responsi- sible in a’ measure to my development. You can see for vourself T am pret well equipped physically at least those early davs, of course in Runnels County, ¥ n T could see only one department of the game. Sure, 1 wanted to be a pitcher. Did vou ever-see a bov who started in with any other atm? “I aid some pitching = at that” Hornsby _smiled. “In fact. the boys of Fort Worth High School tfiought me a coming Mathewson at one time. 1 might have been a# pitcher, too, if T hadn’t liked the game so well. We school teams out West played about every dav, and, of course, 1 couldn't piteh everv day. I wanted to be in that lineup, however, and on every occasion where a sub was wanted T was on he job. T plaved every infield and outfield positfon on that school team. I even went behind the bat about a5 often as T pitched. “Though 1 didn’t give the matter a passing thought at the time, that ex- perfence was & mighty good thing for me. When I went to Hugo, Okla, is the spring of 1914, to my first profes- sional engazement. T was ready to tadkle any job the manager might put up to me. I guess the manager took assurance for sheer nerve. Any- . my self-reliancs did me no harm. ‘I have the self-reliance today to go_to any infield or outfleld position if Manager Fluggins believes my pres- ence there would strengthen ‘the Car- dinals. You know, T am a shortstop of necessity. I went to St. Louis as a third baseman and played most of my games at third last year. “T really beliews that any one who can play reasonably well at short can outside the batterv. I believe the take care of any of the other positions short fleld position by far the most difficult. Compared to it third base is a cinch. Any one who has the speed to come in for a bunt or a slow roller can perform well at the near corner. Outfielding is a question of practice and application in the art of judging quickly batted balls.” Hornsby has accomplished whaat ery, very few players ever accom- plished—he has been a star from the first day he donned a major league uniform. He has been qaite as bril- liant an entry into major Jeague com- pany as was that of Hal Chase in 1905 and George Sisler a couple of years ago. Hornsby is almost a versatile a plaver as George Sisler. Last season (his first vear in fast company) Horns- by outhit his wonderful contemporar; of the St. Louis Browns by 313 to .305. When it is remembered that this young man’s minor league experience was very limited, imagination can scarce Iy picture the possibilities of his bril- liant career. SPORTING NOTES Those teams which kidded Brooklyn in the early part of the season are loaded up with jokes again. Urban Shocker, who has not suf- fered a defeat so' far this vear, is the leading right hander of the league to date.
