DOYLE IS DEAD: LOSS HARD BLOW TO CUBS' HOPES Succumbs to Effects of Appendicitis Operation; Became

Star in Two Years.

Syracuse. N. T., Feb. 2. Jimmy Doyle is dead. The brilliant young third baseman of the Chicago Cubs passed away at 9 o'clock last night from the effects of an appendicitis operation. The death came as no great surprise. as the doctors gave up all hope of saving him early yesterday afternoon. Last evening It was announced that he could not live until midnight. He put up a plucky fight to the end. The young ball player was operated on Monday afternoon at St. Joseph's hospital. He rallied well from the shock, and on Tuesday morning the attending physicians announced He would recover. That night he suffered a relapse from which he never rallied. The death of Doyle robs baseball of one of its most promising players. Though a major leaguer for less than two years, he had come to be regard ed as one of the best fighters in the game and a player who would be one of the greatest stars the national pastime ever produced. Doyle joined the Chicago Cubs last year after a brief trial at Cincinnati, and made good from the start. His wonderful playing kept the Chicago club in the pennant race at times when it looked as If the team was about to crumble. Ho hit well, being one of the best of the Cubs In the year's aver ages, and above all he never knew when the team was whipped. ACCEPTS E The challenge issued yesterday by A. I ..Carlson, . manager, of the .jy biting Owls, in Thb Times, Is already bearing fruit and one answer was received by the sporting editor-of The Tikes this morning. Manager Pannenborg of the Ham mond basketball fire wishes to accept the challenge through the columns of this paper. He is willing to accept the side bet of $50 for the- championship, but says the game must be played on a neutral floor. Both managers are requested to meet at Thb Times offlce Friday evening at 7 o'clock to arrange all agreements. - LOOK FOR BATTLE 0(1 FORWARD PASS Hot Scrimmage Expected at Meeting of Intercollegiate Rules Committee. FIRST SESSION TODAY Stagg of Chicago and Davis of Princeton Will Champion the Present Code. With the abolition or preservation of the forward pass as an issue the intercollegiate football rules committee will hold its annual meeting in New York today and 'tomorrow Since the adoption of this ground gaining play. In the winter of 1906, it has been the bono of contention at every meeting sice, and there are not a few of the committee who want to see the play obliterated entirely. That there Is going to be a bitter fight is assured. With A. A. Stagg of Chicago and Parke H. Davis of Princeton acting as champions of the "standpatters" and Harry L. Williams of Minnesota and Walter Camp of Tale leading the forces who are In favor of the abolition of the forward pass, a long drawn out battle is expected. Those opposed to the forward pass and the ten-yard rule are of the opinion that the stronger elevens seldom win by scores which -demonstrate the comparative strength of the teams. These persons also assert' the distance between the twenty-flve yard lines should be lessened, and. when a team places the oval within the twenty-five yard lines, the distance 'to be gained in three downs should be shortened even more. The " "standpatters" are In favor of giving the present code another year's trial. - They believe 'the game as it now stands will work out to the satisfaction of all, and In this belief they are going to make their fight. Since the adoption of the forward pass changes have been made yearly in the ruling and H is hard to conceive of a way to remove . any more restrictions unless the play, is abolished entirely. -

It was his sameness that won him his place as & regular on the Cubs. When the Chicago team started the race last year Zimmerman was tried out at third basf. Ho failed to make good at the start and Doyle was given a chance at the position. Although the youngster had a broken finger only partially healed on his throwing hand, he did not grumble. He went into the game and made good at once.' Though erratic in spots, he was brilliant enough af" other times to make up for his mistakes and his gameness and fighting qualities won him thousands of friends all over th National league circuit. Doyle was born in Syracuse twentyfive years ago and up until the time he commenced playing professional baseball was a resident of this city. He received his . early education in Seymour school, graduating, and later attending Niagara university at Niagara, N. T. He played different positions on the Seymour nine. When the Empire league, composing cities In central New York, was launched ' Doyle was signed with the Seneca Falls team and was used in the outfield for one season, where he attracted considerable attention both as a fielder and hitter. The next year Doyle entered Niagara university and while in college was made over Into an lnfielder, covering second base in fine style.

The National College association has instructed its representative' to vote for the amendments presented by Dr. "Williams of Minnesota. Some of "Wil liams' ideas are to lesseh the distance between the two twenty-five yard lines from ten to seven yards and the dis tance to be gained inside of the twen ty-yard lines to the goal line to be shortened to five yards. Williams also Is a strong .advocate of allowing; the ball to be thrown any distance ( into the enemy's territory, -which will do away with the neutral zone, which does not permit of throws more than twenty yards. It is believed these al terations will increase the - scoring possibilities of the attacking teams. . BOMBARDIER WELLS TO PAY O.S. SOCIAL VISIT WOfl'TBATTLEJOHIISOil English Heavyweight Cham pion Will Sail For the U. S. March 2. London. Feb. 2. Bombardier Wells, the heavyweight champion of England. sails March 2 for the United States. Wells is consldened the Sir George Alexander pf the ring ever here, being tall, cleancut and with the face of a Greek god. He Is the picture card rage and a decided favorite with the fair members of society. Wells jumped Into prominence when he defeated "Porky" Flynn, ths Ameri can pugilist. At that encounter the arena was vell filled with titled ladles in fact, mire of the weaker sex were present thin the sterner gender. Wells enjoys the reputation of being the first pugilist that became a society craze. He declares that his trip abroad is strictly a pleasure jaunt, but it is hinted that he may arrange for a match with Jack Johnson, the world's champion. Wells was matched to fight Johnson here last year, but the battle was prevented owing to strong public disapprobation. In the opinion of Eugene Corrl, the famous referee. Wells has a big chance of beating Johnson on account of his youth, clean living and skill. GARY TEAM DEFEATED The Tabernacle A.

Six of the eight baskets made by the Taber nacle team wer made in the last four minutes of the first half. In the second half the "J", team seemed to weaken and rallied very slowly, but in this rally the visitors had scored five baskets. The E., Jt & E. saw that something must be done and' dropped four baskets in less time than it takes to tell It. When the score stood only one point in favor of Tab ernacle both teams seemed to rally suddenly and played an even and fast game to the finish, when the score reached 31 to 29 in favor of J.be Chicago team.

Although Kid Tracey succeeded in earning an even break during the threeminute session, the Frankford negro won victories over the other five. The first to trot out was See-Saw Kelly. The latter is usually an Indifferent fighter, hut he cut loose and rushed' at Coleman, swinging both hands. Coleman was easily Kelly's master, however, and once had him in bad shape against the ropes. Bert Whirlwlr.d put up a good clever exhibition in the second period, but Coleman managed to get through with a hair-line, verdict. Next came Tracey. The latter slambanged and roughed It up and earned an even break. Old Steve Crosby. the former star lightweight boxer, was outpointed In the third period. Jack Fink, the fighting Marine, did good work for about a minute in the fifth; session and then blew up. The last round fighter to face Coleman was Barney Ford. Coleman let him do all the leading for about half the distance, after which Barney tired and Coleman had Ford covering up When the thing ended. GEORGE STOVALL TO CUBS? NOT YET! Los Angeles Story Causes Excitement. Considerable unnecessary excitement was caused among west side fans yesterday by a report from Los Angeles hinting that Manager Chance might obtain George Stovall from Cleveland to play, with the Cubs this year. , The author f the report overlooked the geographical fact that Cleveland is in the American league and the Cubs are In the National. ; Before .it would be possible for Manager Chance to Obtain Stovall it would be necessary for the other seven American league teams to waive claim to
