TWw' ..L 'S: 16 JpoTtj ^£b- 4# *2 IL BASEBALL TEAM OUTLOOK AT THE COLLEGE ON THE HILL IS VERY ENCOURAG ING—SEVERAL NEW MEN WILL STRENGTHEN THE TEAM OVER UUIT YEAR'S FORM. For the past few days the preachers have been having their regular base ball practice out of doors. They hope that from now on they can be out right along. Among the new fellows who are ^showing up well since outside play be gan, are "Moose" Pollock, Perry, Hag gart, Slingsby, Thayer, Fortin, Bayard and Nelson. Pollock shows good form with the stick and Coach Grogan has a great deal of faith in him as a good third-sacker. Pie Nelson, who finished so strong on the football team last fall, is winning a great deal of admira tion. He ia also expected to make good as he la a hard worker and a cool player. Another man to whom the coach is giving a great deal of attention is Interest -A- -h Fargo, No "m 'm. 4 ,i/'* .• 1 gf^iforis •srsx md-i Bayard, the old reliable first-seeker for t:ie local high school. He is e good sticker and a steady fielder and is expected to strengthen the team. Haggart, Slingsby and Perry are also good men and are pretty sure to make places on the team. The team will be strengthened n great deal by having Headland at the keystone position. With Prltchard a short these two rren ought to make things warm around this part of the diamond. Olafson will do the wofk at the re ceiving end and needs no introduction, as he proved himself one of the great est catchers in the northwest by the work he did last year.

Corbett, today posted his $£000 forfeit In New York to cover the amount which Champion Jack Johnson put up to force Jeffries into a statement of his plans and which goes for all comers it the retired champion does not decide soon. Furthermore, "Gentleman Jim" stands ready to brand the big black fellow as having a "streak of yellow" if Johnson does not make good on his promise of last Sunday to give Corbett The rule makers have changed the scoring rules slightly, as follows: Rule 32—Delaying the Gam*. Add the following section: Sec. 3. In event of pitcher being taken from the game by either man ager or captain, the player substituted for him shall continue to pitch until the batsman then at bat has either been put out or has reached first base. Rule 36—Ball Not in Play.

The batting order delivered to the umpire must be followed throughout the game, unless a player be substituted for an ither, in which case the substitute must take the place in the batting or der of the retired player. Sec. 2. When the umpire announces the pitcher prior to commencement of the game, the player announced must pitch until the first batsman has either been put out or has reached first base. Rule 44—A Fair Hit.

SOME OF THE CHANGES MADE IN THE BASEBALL SCORING RULES the first chance after Jeffries. Corbet^ had other unkind things to say of the conqueror of Tommy Burns when he read that Johnson was contemplating battles with Kaufman, Ketchel, or some middleweight. Jim Getting Rather Old. "Johnson promised definitely," said Corbett, "that he would give nie the first chance after Jeffries. I concede "Jeff's" right to fight if he wants to. But I can't wait for Johnson to fight aH the easy marks in the country and keep me waiting. I'm getting older all the time. I want to fight now. I can beat him and I think he knows I'm tougher game than those other feliows. If he has a speck of honor and isn't a coward he will meet me. My money is up and I want action for it." Fight critics generally are not In clined to accuse Johnson of cowardice. But his repudiation of the kangford match, made by his former manager, and a delay in signing up with Corbett might Incline some to the belief that perhaps the colored man is not averse to usurping some of the prerogatives of his white brethren by gathering some theatrical money while basking In the publicity of his challenges to Jeffries.
