Last Night's Score. Chicago 33; Carlisle 14. After Carlisle seemed to have a chance to break its losing streak and win over Chicago, in the Y. M. C. A. basket ball league last evening, the Mid way if es came around strong and won out in the last few minutes of play. It seemed as if every one would find the basket. - Carlisle was further weakened by the absence of Cain, who has an injured foot. The Indians looked to be one of the strongest teams in the league at the opening of the season. The team now is in such a weakened condition that it Is probable a meeting of the athletic committee will be held and players awarded the cellar champions. Tomorrow evening Princeton and Cornell tie up again. Princeton is anxious to capture the contest so as to draw nearer Yale. There is rivalry between the leaders that promises a warm contest when next they meet. ' Last night's summary: Carlisle. Chicago. Zerkie Ackerman Left Forward. Hodge Taggart Right Forward.

COBLEIITZ SECURED Crack New Madison Shortstop Will Be Member of Earlham Team. CAPT. HANCOCK SMILING Among the early comers at Earlham were several men who are candidates for the baseball team. Capt. Han cock was one of the first. He was all smiles over the fact that a shortstop by the name of Coblentz, who was of fered a try out by the Wheeling Central League team, has decided to enter college at the beginning of the term; Coblentz comes from New Madison Ohio, and has played with. Dowlar, the Freshman, who appears to have the call on second base. It is said that these men team well in the center of the diamond and some fast play is ex pected when they get together. The coming of the new material makes the fight for places in the infield very interesting. French will be In in a few days. He is the school teacher who played such an accurate game at first base last season, and with Capt. Hancock at third the in field will undoubtedly be exceptionally strong. Preliminary practice was held this afternoon. DOUBLE DEFEAT FOR TEMPERANCE (Continued From Page One.) prohibition amendment by April 2 Pending discussion of the motion the senate adjourned. Prohibitionists, however, admit defeat and declare that there is no hope of reviving the matter during the ten remaining days of the session of the legislature. Yesterday's action followed that of the committee on constitutional amendments in unanimously . tabling the resolution and thus refusing to report it to .the senate. Senator Proudfoot, leader of the prohibition cause in the senate, in presenting the motion for taking it from the hands of the committee de livered a speech of two hours length.

Manager George Stalling of New York Americana Says He Has In This Re emit the Find of the Year White 8ox Have New Pitching Wonder. Br TOMMY CLARK. Judging by the reports emanating from the different training quarters of the major league baseball clubs, the coming season will produce many pocket editions of the famous diamond stars, Wagner, Cobb, Matbewson and Lajoie. According to the many press agents, these "phenoms" are the greatest ever and are setting the diamond afire with their sensational bat ting, fielding and pitching stunts. But, as has been the case in former years, a majority or tnese so called wonders explode as soon as the real season is a few weeks old. Of course there are exceptions, but they generally go up like a skyrocket before the crowds on their . respective home grounds. " From the Chicago American camp In Los Angeles reports have been sent out of the wonderful curves,' control, etc., possessed by Pitcher Jim Scott, whom the White Sox management secured from the Wichita Western asso ciation team last fall. Scott, his team mates say, Is a Walsh, Brown and Cy Young combined, and they freely pre dict that he will be one of the leading slab artists in the American league the coming season. Manager George S tailings, who is booked to make a sensation In American league circles In New York, has a record for knowing ball players in the embryo. He has made a comfortable fortune out of the game and is looked upon as the keenest of the keen. George is confronted by a problem that would probably stagger any man ager.

"He is a natural batter and has the greatest throwing arm I have seen since I entered baseball," says the manager of the Yankees. "He Is as fast as any man on the bases and a perfect fielder." At Marlin Springs, Tex., Johnny McGraw has a splendid collection of youngsters. Judging by the early showing of Outfielder O'Hara and Infielder Fletcher, especially the latter, the older members of the team will have to work hard to retain the positions. McGraw has predicted that "Rube" Marquard, his f 11.000 beauty, whom he secured from Indianapolis, will be one of the leading left banded pitchers in the National league this year.
