of the Dis The book will be published by A G Spalding Brothers Company and It Is in review to make the indictment stronger But what about the other schools Tis query Is a subject of conversation among Georgetown students now in view of the announcement that Cald well of Pennsylvania who shut out the Georgetown nine last summer has signed with the Philadelphia National League team Not only has Caldwell signed with the Phillies but there is reason to believe thai he has played semiprofessional or straight profes- sional ball with Atlantic City for two or more seasons yet has been posing as- a college pitcher and pure amateur In re Caldwell Caldwell played with Atlantic City this summer under the name of Grant and if he had not signed with Philadel- phia it is not at all improbable that he would have posed as an amateur again next year although the grounds for his disqualification were known to scors of college men This WitS a neat piece of work for those who have been throwing stones at the Washington university Then what about Clarkson of fair Harvard He continued to for hU alma muter after ho had signed with the New York American League team There way a howl when he was

In the Splendid Patronage- The games played by the boys this year while not MS fast and brilliant as those in the American League fur- nished equally as good contests and were patronized as well If not better than the big league games Many of the boys and managers yet have much to learn but they have doubtless by the seasons experience In the managerial end of many of the clubs much fault can be found There has been too much switching around of players too frequent experimenting An example of good management can be found in the Fourth Presbyterian team which won the Church League bunting At no time this season has the club carried over ten men and the boys played in their positions so long they excellent team work something which cannot be gained by too many changes The book is expected to be ready for sale in a few months were rumors that he was not an ama teur in the proper sense of the term It should likewise be remembered that the entire Brown University team of test year got

in review to make the indictmentstronger But what about the otherschools
Tis query Is a subject of conversationamong Georgetown students now inview of the announcement that Caldwell of Pennsylvania who shut out theGeorgetown nine last summer hassigned with the Philadelphia NationalLeague team Not only has Caldwellsigned with the Phillies but there isreason to believe thai he has playedsemiprofessional or straight profes-sional ball with Atlantic City for twoor more seasons yet has been posing as-a college pitcher and pure amateurIn re Caldwell
Caldwell played with Atlantic Citythis summer under the name of Grantand if he had not signed with Philadel-phia it is not at all improbable that hewould have posed as an amateur againnext year although the grounds for hisdisqualification were known to scorsof college men This WitS a neat piece ofwork for those who have been throwingstones at the Washington university
Then what about Clarkson of fairHarvard He continued to for hUalma muter after ho had signed withthe New York American League teamThere way a howl when he was uncov-ered but the college public stood asidein reverent grief over the incident forit was the pure and righteous Crimsonthat was stained but had it been theBlue and Gray how different wouldhave been the comments The Clarkson deal was about as raw as theymake them It was reported in all the

The case of Mike Lynch of Browntnlverslty 1 worthy of note He-MKned with PlUsbunr and has been doing great work His university deservescredit for not allowing him to pitchthis season but all last season there

In no city in the United States probably has amateur baseball Increasedmore in favor in the past year thanin Washington In 1908 there was butone organized league of any consequence In the city the Church Leaguewhereas this season six were supportedIn addition to more Independentteams than heretofore This increasemay be attributed to baseball
