The Tigers were not in thegame at any stage and the outcome -was a big surprise. Sutit was not the same Princeton team that has beenaplaying in the other gamea andthis, no doubt, accounts omewhat for the outcome. Princeton used a badly patched up team and it ftiad no-chance to beat the Ithicans. 9 . Leader Not Secure.

Bishop Burke Identified two letters offered in evidence, and signed by Pembroke as having been received by him. They were dated Cameron, Mo., September 8. and 8, 1908; One demanded that the bishop forward to Pembroke immediately $40,00 under penalty of having published certain things which he said would be yery derogatory to the bishop. - " Charge Made. In the other; $70,000 in all was demanded and a similar threat made. Among other things, the bishop was accused of having obtained a valuable farm In Nodaway county by fraud. The bishop recited the origin of his trouble with Pembroke, who -for. many years-was in charge of St. Patrick's parish at Marysville, Mo. He said that as. a result of a quarTel between Pembroke and Frank W. Griff ineditor. or the Marysville newspaper, whowas 'shot and -killed in 1809 by -Cv J., Jesse, the usefulness of the church atWnr$sville had been greatly Impaired.. andV that tbe parish.-, had def aultedtln payment of a beauest of Sl,000 which had "been made to the diocese at the-deaf'h-ot a -parlsloner.

During all this time the bishop said he had been hearing of reports circulated bythe priest, and then came the demand for $70,000. -Many of the, charges made against Bishop Burke in the letters offered in evidence are unprintable.

Father of Sunday Baseball - Receives a Monster Pass

" Indianapolis, - Ind.,' April 3. Representative Thomas W. Brolley, of North Vernon, who manages a strong -amateur team there, has become a national figure in base balldom because of his efforts to obtain the passage of the Sunday base ball law which bears bis name.;.";, He came here to witness the game between the Indianapolis and Philadelphia American teams. "Have you a pass?" he was asked. At that question Brolley hauled out a pass signed by over 100 professional E TO HAVE VERY FAST TEAM Baseball Candidates This Year the Best Material In History. PITCHER WHITE IN FORM QUAKERS HAVE A HEAVY SCHEDULE THIS YEAR AND LOOK FOR GOOD RECORD COBLENTZ IS A FIND. ; That Earlham will have the fastest base ball team in the field this year is practically assured. Coach Vail announced this morning that the largest number of candidates that have ever reported are turning out each evening for light practice work although the regular, practice will not start until next week when all the students have arrived who-expect to enter the ring for positions. At the present time there are about thirty men out and as far as the throwing department is concerned there is plenty of fine material. The- batting department has not been given a test, but it is judged that this will be stronger than the team of last year. Coach Vail expects to have a hard hitting outfield who will come in as pinch hitters. The schedule that has been arranged by Coach Vail and the managers, both student and faculty,, is one of the hardest that any Earlham team has had to fight out. There will be about six home dates while four will be in other fields. Butler, Wabash, Purdue, DePauw, Wittenburg, are among those of the team' that will meet the Quakers on Reid field. White -Is In Form. White, the famous Quaker twirler of last season, is again with the Quakers and is showing up in better form than last year when he held the fast Purdue team to the low score of 2 to 1. The latest find of the Quakers is Coblentz of New Madison, who will officiate between second and third. He has had) several years experience and is expected to add great strength to the Quakers. His opponent for the position of short-stop is Frank Eliott who made quite a record with the high school team several . years ago. In these two men Earlham should be able to have a strong man at this position. Other men who have donned the baseball togs are Harrell, Swain and Stanley for first-base; Hill, second, and the outfield; Eaton, short stop; J. Furnas, pitch and outfield; Lar ranee, second base; Dowlar for second or third base; Mosbaugh, H. Furnas, Reese, Gilbert and Brunson are making a good showing for positions. Jones and Kenard are trying out for the twirling department; French and Lindley are trying for first; and yesterday, Behr, O. Wright and Butler were out with the crew. HAVE BABY BOY. Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Hornaday, 400 South Fifteenth street, are the parents of a baby boy. It has - been named William Kemper Hornaday after a relative who is manager of the zoological gardens in New York City.

It , is' protfcble tiat reports will be made by committees In .charge of the Masked Saturnalia, the proposed sale of the Glen Miller park and the pror position of securing the state encampment of the Uniform Rank Knights of ' Pythias this summer. The question of 'having a base ball team here this summer will also be considered.' Reports on the Masked Saturnalia will no doubt be Interesting and encourage the members to greater , effort.

baseball organizations throughout the county. His name is to be tbe magic one that will open the gates of any baseball park to him this season. And it is all because he worked for the passage of the Sunday base ball law. Brolley says that he has bad the law examined by some of the best lawyers in the state, and that they say it is constitutional. " ; However, the ministers here are arranging to have it tested as soon as Manager Carr and his tribe attempt to pull off a Sunday game.

OF TEIKPLAW There Are at the Present Time About Fifty Prospective Members. TO HAVE PRIVATE COURTS LOTS AT THE CORNER OF SOUTH TWENTY-SECOND AND A ST8. ARE TO BE LEASED AN IDEAL LOCATION. Prospects are that the city will have a tennis association this season that will be one of the largest and strongest in the state. At present there are about fifty prospective members and the indications are that fully this number will become identified with the organization. Lots at the corner of Twenty-second and South A streets are to be leased. They will be graded and courts of regulation size laid off. It is believed the place can be made ideal for the purpose and there is reason to believe there will be more interest shown in this sport locally this summer than ever before. Number of Players. The icty has a large number of mediocre and several first class players. There is enough of the latter to coach the others and develop them, so that the first class aggregation will not be so limited in number. A meeting of those interested was held last evening, and it was decided to go ahead with the work. Membership is to be solicited. The expense of fitting up the courts will not be very great. The ground will have to be prepared and screens erected. The members expect to, do a good part of this work themselves in order to economize. Sport Would Boom. Within the last two years, a number of tennis playere who give promise of developing beyond the mediocre have been in the game. The public playground has been the only place for contests and these courts could not be obtained for general use until after school was dismissed in June. Even under this handicap the players went ahead and learned the elementary principles of the game. With courts of their own, open to them whenever they want them, there is no reason why the game should not be boomed by the members of the new association the coming season. CONTRACTORS ARE READY TO SETTLE Anxious to Reach an Adjustment of the Y. M. C. A. Matter Soon. INVOLVES ABOUT $5,000 ASSOCIATION OFFICIALS REFUSED TO PAY OVER THIS AMOUNT UNTIL LOCAL OBLIGATIONS HAD BEEN MET. Satisfactory adjustment between the contractors for the Y, M. C. A. building Caldwell and Drake of Columbus, Indiana, and the trustees and-directors of the association, will probably be made before next Wednesday, according to a statement made at the board of directors meeting last evening. , The Y. M. C. A, is holding out on the payment of about $u,000 to the contractors because they have, not met their obligations with several local firms and laborers. Not until these, debts are paid and recepts shown, the association officials, will the money be turned over to" the contractors. j The settlement ? offer is the i first word received - from " the contractors since the completion of the bulhllng last December. After the settlement, the building will be turned ovr to- the association. , Although the association has been? occupying- the' banting since its completion, it has never obtained formal control.

VETER All PLAYERS

COACHING TEAMS Quartet of Former Baseball Stars Helping to Train Young Players. GLEASON HAS STEADY JOB EX CAPTAIN OF PHILLIES EMPLOYED FOR SEASON'S COACHJIM McGUIRE AND DUKE FARRELL AT IT. Veteran baseball players who have retired from active work on the diamond and who have proved tbelr ability to handle promising youngsters to the major league ranks are being signed each year by tbe enterprising managers of the big league teams as special coaches for the young players under trial. Last year Manager Murray of the Phillies inaugurated the innovation by appointing ex-Cap tain Kid Gleason as assistant manager or special coacb for the Phillies, and so successful did tbe plan prove that this season three other major league clubs signed veteran catchers to coach tbe young twirlers, J and Manager McGraw went a step further by signing Arlle Latham toj coach tne team during the game. This Is not Latham's first Job of this kind, however, as he held tbe same kind of position with Cincinnati some yean ago. Kid Gleason. Charles ("Duke") Farrell, Jim McGuire and Wilbert Robin son are the four who hold positions as special coaches for tbe players. In selecting the promising material and picking . out the men who are worth carrying on the regular pay roll it is the wisdom of the veteran player that shows itself, and this is where, veteran players like Gleason, Farrell, Robinson and McGuire come into play, j When the team goes south for its spring practice tbe young players need to be watched. Ambition to show up in good shape before the manager with the hope of landing a permanent place on the team often causes the young player to Injure himself, so that he is of little use to the club for several weeks, - and this means heavy expense to tbe club and probably the loss of a job to the player. With a trained man in each camp to watch over the overanxious players, the chance of having the hospital list full all the time is greatly lessened. Gleason's work is not only in the spring, however, for the Kid holds it down all season, and the veteran jim M'arras, coach of thx cuetklaiis AXBBICAS3. proved a big factor in keeping the Phillies in the race for the pennant last year. All four veterans are well qualified to fill the positions, as they have had many years' experience, are popular with players and know how to handle young players. Of the four players McGuire is tbe oldest in point of service, and Robinson is next, Gleason and Farrell having started their professional careers the same year. Kid Gleason is the most active of the four aad was the last of the fonr to give up playing in major league company. He played second base and was captain of the Phillies up to the middle part of the season of 1906, when he was injured, and Knabe took his place. Gleason played in several games, however, last season and is good enough to get in at any time and play almost any position on the field. Wlfbert Robinson, who is helping McGraw to train the Giants pitchers during the spring practice, was also a member of tbe , famous Baltimore champions along with McGraw and Giesssn. nuk" FarrelL who is handling the New York American youngsters, is ens of, the-eldest men in the ' game, and be, McGuire and Robinson are rated as three of the brainiest catchers that ever doaaed a mask. Robinson was a major league backstop fasnvise to IMS inclusive, while Farrell started to the big organization la ISflt sad4asted nntn 1908. Jim McGalre Is oae of the most in the business. He la 1683 aad has been playing professional ban sines ISM. first starting with Ctoealaod. Since that time he has bsan connected with many teams in both the American add National leagnea. In lflOT he left the New York Americans to become manager of the Boston Americans.

TURFMEN ABROAD AWAKE INTEREST Englishmen Aroused by American Invasion of Their Racing Courses. COLIN IS IN LIMELIGHT

KEENE'S UNDEFEATED FOUR-YEAR-OLD COLT ENTERED IN MANY FAMOUS CLASSICS OTHER OWNERS ENTER. The friction which the Olympic sports in England produced is now almost entirely forgotten as far as Englishmen are concerned, and they are now discussing the prospects of tbe American invasion in horse racing. When a couple of years ago American sportsmen like W. C. Whitney. J. R. Keene and Richard . Croker withdrew their support from tbe English turf on the grounds that they were not fairly treated and American jockeys supported them in their contention, English sportsmen commenced to feel that there was something that required consideration. The grievances that then existed are now removed, and the English sporting public welcomes the appearance of the American colors again on the racing tracks. This year's racing will find America well represented, as Croker. Keene, Belmont and Vanderbllt are all "iu tbe running." These names are already familiar to English race goers, but tbe name of Carroll is new to tbe most of them. On the occasion of every big racing event now tbe question on every one's lips is, "What have the Americans up their sleeve?" There appears to be a desperate dread of tbe American contingent producing something of s. sensational character. Last year it was feared that August Belmont was going to annex the Derby to follow on the success of Croker the previous year. This year J. R. Keene is suspected of having designs on some of the classic races with Colin, an American bred horse. This animal is stabled with Sam Darling at Beckbampton. one of the leading trainers in England. Speaking of the chances of this horse snd the prospects of American owners generally, Mr. Darling on being interviewed said: "In Colin I feel X have one of the finest thoroughbreds that tbe English turf has ever seen, and I shall not be surprised to find him plscing msny of the classic events to the credit of America. I regard the American racing invasion as s most useful and welcome stimulant to English sport, snd as far as I know there has never been any desire on the part of Englishmen to place any obstacle in the wsy of the American owners who have from time to time come here to patronize us. I have at the moment all J. R. Keene's horses in England under my control, and I hope to show him and the American sporting world generally what an Anglo-American combination can do." Another man who is immensely interested in and pleased with the American "invasion" la Richard Marsh, who, as the king's trainer, is one of the most important personalities in tbe English racing world. "How can it be regarded otherwise," he says, "than a happy omen of the entente cordiale that must always exist between England and the United States? It will stimulate a spirit of fraternity that is essential snd desirable between two great English speaking nations. American sportsmen are in my view the most desirable acquaintances an Englishman can make. They are clean and upright in all their transactions, rad if they are able to breed animals to win our classic races why should an English sportsman complain?" This is tbe spirit that seems to pervade the entire sporting community here st tbe present moment. The restrictions placed on gambling, especially in regard to horse racing, here was practically accepted as a deathblow to racing, but tbe appearance of the American element on the scene has put new life into the sport, and now it looks more vigorous than it has for years. With- Belmont and Vanderbllt borses at Newmarket, and Carroll and Keene at Seckhampton. and Croker watching from his well equipped stables la Ireland, American racing Interests on the English turf have, never been so wisely or industriously pursued. American colors win' be seen in most of the leading events of tbe present season, which commences on March 28 at Iincoia. The Kawburg Spring cup, the City snd Suburteu. the Jabilee stakes, the Ascot Gold sup -and the Derby are bat a few of the Important events in which the colors of the American owners win be seen at the starting post. . Carroll has eight horses In Darling's stable, and every one of them Is described in English racing vernacular as a "clinker." Cotin, Keene's champion, is talked about already as the winner of the Ascot Gold cup, which Is one of the most coveted prizes of the year's racing. Croker is looked upon ss one of the men who talk little about their prospects; but, according to reports from Ireland, he will produce one or two animals during the season that are likely to make racing history. The kins; In paying one of his quiet visits to Newmarket recently went over the stsbles containing the American horses and remarked that he had never seen a more beautiful collection of thoroughbreds. It Is not generally known that his majesty wss responsible for removing tbe edict of tbe jockey club whteh prohibited the train lag jot Crokarn liutiss jstjearmarkst.
