INTERCOLLEGIATE SPORTS
University Announces Plans
After Meeting of Faculty
and Students.
Cancelling of all athletic contests
at the State university at Missoula
after May 5 was announced yesterday
after a meeting of faculty war council
and the executive committee of the as
sociated students of the institution.
This action will automatically elimi
nate athletics at the State college at
1 Bozeman, which recently decided to
abandon baseball, leaving on its sched
j nie only one track meet scheduled
" ith the university team May 19.
The calling off of all its matched
games by the Grizzlies is regretted be
use it will spoil the heaviest sched
ule of the university's teams. It was
leemed necessary, in the statement
given out by the executive committee
and faculty council, because of the en
listment of several athletes and on ac
count of the compulsory military drill
established there. Many students have
left school t» work on the farms.
There will be no athletic contests
staged on Montana field after May 5
except the interscholastic track meet
to be held there the second week in
May. Class games and inter-frater
nity contests may be held, as has been
planned by Coach Bennion, at Boze
man, but there will be no match
games.
Since the School of Mines has no
athletic teams this action means that
all intercollegiate athletics in Mon
tana have heen abandoned. This is
probably the only state in the union
which has called off all its collegiate
contests.

Butte Makes Four.
Spokane, April 21*.—The Northwestern
league opened yesterday with Butte
springing the big surprise of the day by
defeating the pennant holders 9 to 5 in a
game marked by erratic playing. Rain
fell during part of the contest. Butte
made the game secure in the tenth in
ning. After Bchorr had replaced Glaven
Ich on the mound for Spokane he walked
La marra and Hillyard with Knfora get
ting to first on a fielder's choice, filling
the bases. McGinnis» threw Hutt's
grounder away, scoring La marra and
Hillyard, and Blair clouted the ball out
into the center garden bringing in Kafora
and Hutt.
The rough ground and the bad day
made it impossible for Manager McGtn
nity to get much of a line on his infieUL
Lamarra pulled four boners of the five
chalked up against Butte. Kafora's arm
was in poor shape, allowing six bases to

Detroit, April 25.—Oscar Vitt, star
third baseman of the Detroit Amer
icans, lias come to terms, it was an
nounced today, and is exported to join
the club at ChiruKo in time to play
Sunday. He will leave San Francisco
today.
During the winter Vitt rejected a
contract, which it is announced, of
fered him a salary of #5000. It was re
ported that Vitt wanted *«,000. "Both
Y itt and the club made concessions,"
it was said.
Perhaps a fear of li.ins- pinched for ob
taining money under false pretenses ac
counts for the care with which the Pitts
burg scribes always place "\V" before the
name of Catcher Wagner In the Pirates
lineup. He's a promising young backstop,

QUAINTEST PLAYER EVERO
FIELD WAS RUßE WADDE
Kobe Waddell—George Edward Wad
doll was hi» baptismal name—was one
of the oddest, quaintest cnuracers
baseball ever knew. For many years
Rube filled more space in the sporting
pages than any other ballplayer—he was
almost a national figure, and beyond a
doubt he did more to Increase the gaiety
of this sad world than any other athlete
that ever lived. He was the king's Jester,
the royal clown—the ehief buffoon of
baseball—and yet his antics were "clean,"
free from vulgar phases and incomparably
diverting. Rube's comedy left no suffer
ing behind—it brought, no sting to any
man. Many a great philosopher has
urged that the man who adds to this
world's happiness is far greater than the
mightiest conqueror, and if this is true
what a princely benefactor was poor Rube
Waddell.
Wherever Waddell came ripples of
laughter preceded his arrival; something
richly humorous invariably happened dur
ig liis sojourn, and long after his depart
ure the memory of his absurdities re
mained. He hurt no one; his follies
harmed nobody but himself; and, judging
by the many, many years that he lasted,
it took a long time for his comedy to
harm him. Thei*e was but one Waddell—
perhaps there w'ill never be souther.
Waddell flashed in and out, mostly out,
of several big league teams between 189?
and 1900. He was a gigantic left-hander
of magnificent frame and proportions, «jnd
Is said to have been from mixed Pennsyl
vania Dutch and English ancestry. Dur
ing those early years he had terrific
speed, but rather poor control. In 1901
he seemed to have learned the big league
game thoroughly, and was taken on by
the shattered Chicago club, recently
raided by tlie American league, and in
dire need of pitchers. That season was
one of rich spor« fur the Chicago rooters
and paragraphers, and of gray hairs for
James A. Hart. The Rube could surely
pitch—his defeat of Matliewson when they
first met at Cub park was one of the
year's sensations—and in those days he'
could bat. Ho loved to hear the solid
crash of wood on leather, and he'd run
out his hits to the limit, too. As for
willingness to pitch—well, the Rube was
never a shirker when you caught liis
fancy right. He pitched, and won, a
game on Friday and that night met some
prominent citizens who lamented that
they hadn't seen the battle. Rube at
once dug up Jim Hart and begged him
