EFFICIENT COACHING IS BIG FACTOR IN TECH HIGH TRACK TEAM VICTORIES—SPORTS
YALE TO DROP
GRID SCHEDULE
Plan Other Reforms; Only
One Winner Left; to Can
cel All Fall Sports
New Haven. Conn., June 19.—Yale's
athletic council will hold at least
one meeting during the commence
ment week program, which begins to
morrow and lasts four days, to wres
tle with two of the most important
problems it has tackled —first, wheth
er there shall be sports next fall
when the college year opens; second.
In what form athletics will be re
sumed at the close of the war. or
when it is decided to again start the
ball of sports rolling.
Some rather informal athletic events
will be arranged and some of the un
dergraduates and alumni are eager to
have Yale, Harvard and Princeton
plan for their usual annual games,
agreeing to play them with only a
limited period of practice daily, and
without the varsity players who have
nearly all gone to the military service
of their country from all three uni
versities. Members of the council,
however, are skeptical of their ability
to arrange any outside matches this
fall.
l*lan Reform
They feel, however, that the pres
ent is an ideal time to plan for nu
merous reforms in athletics which
they have recommended for some
time. A committee the council a
year ago urged in an elaborate report,
curtailing of many of the extrava
gant features of athletics, including
.4he high priced coaches and the large
coaching staffs, and making the divi
sion between amateur and profes
sional athletics more marked.
The sessions of the council the
coming week will continue the inves
tigation into this branch of college
athletic improvement. When athlet
ics are finally resumed it is certain
that they will be carried on under
greatly altered conditions. Harvard,
Princeton and Yale are conducting
their Investigations together into the
reform and are in close accord on the
details of the changes which they
regard desirable.
Oue Winner Remain*
A census has just been taken at
Yale of the athletes who were on the
various sports teams when the war
broke out. and only a single winner
of the "Y" has been found to remain
in college. He will enlist as soon as
college closes its school year the
coming week. If athletics are re
sumed in any form next fall, it will
be with no varsity athletes whatever
available for the teams and with only
the briefest amount of time allotted
daily for practice, because of the de
mands upon the undergraduates for
military training and for their study.
President Tener Tells
Umps to Wipe Out Rowdies
New York, June 19.—President
John K. Tener of the National League
was just beginning to enjoy the im
pression that his umpires were keep
ing the players well in hand, when
his dream of peace on the diamonds
in his league was rudely shattered at
the Polo Grounds. Player Fltzpat
rick, of the Braves, was the principal
disturber in an altercation with Um
pire Quigley, and was later fined SSO
and suspended indefinitely.
Following the trouble, Governor
Tener issued a new set of laws to
his arbiters. He told them to stamp
out the troublemakers at the first
sign of an butbreak, and hereafter
the squawkers will be banished when
they get rough if the governor's or
ders are carried out. Banishing play
ers often works a hardship on a ball
club, and as a rule the arbiters are
as lenient as possible. But when play
ers become unruly there is only one
thing for the umpire to do, and that
is to hang the ancient order of tin on
him. In cases of this kind the man
agers are partly to blame. They
should warn their players against
kicking beyond a reasonable limit.

COACHES BIG PART
IN TECH VICTORIES;
POPULAR OFFICIALS
GEORGE W. HILL. JAMES C. PEET.
Many followers of sport can well remember the time a few years ago
when Tech first entered the big meets on the Island and felt lucky to
come back with one bronze medal. Since then the Maroon athletes have
gotten into bigger ways, and the student body never feels satisfied with
anything short of first place and the championship.
Tech's consistent winnings of tne last four years can be traced di
rectly to the good work done by Coaches James C. Peet and George W. Hill,
both of whom are members of the Tech faculty, and who coach the track
candidates every spring. For four straight years Tech has had a claim to
the championship honors, but never before has the claim been backed by
so many big victories as this season.
Experienced Coaches
Coach Peet is a graduate of Syracuse University, and while a student
at the New York school won honors as a member of the track team. Coach
Hill graduated from Gettysburg College, and was a member of the Steel
ton Y. M. C. A. football eleven. Later he joined the Harrisburg basket
ball association and played a guard position on the quintet.
In 1914 Tech began to set a whirlwind pace, and has continued to do
so ever since. During that season it won the relay race at Philadelphia,
won at Penn State, Mercersburg, defeated Central, won on the Island and
defeated the Gettysburg freshmen. Since that time only three meets have
been lost. The trophy room at the Maroon institution is filled with cups
and banners that have been brought home through the good work of the
two teacher-coaches. Both men are popular with the track candidates, and
the latter are unstinted in their praise of the directors of this work.
GOOD THING THIS PLAYER
DOES NOT USE REAL NAME;
GIVES REGISTRARS SHOCK
Philadelphia, June 19.—When Pitch
er Rube Schauer of the Athletics reg
istered under the army draft act he
gave the registrars a shock when in
answer to the question as to his full
name he twisted his tongue several
ways so that the registrar had to
abandon the idea of writing it himself
and gave the pen over to Schauer.
Rube then wrote: "Dimitri Ivjnno
vitch Dimitrihoff." For that is
Schauer's real name. Rube was born
in Odessa, Russia, and came to this
country when a child. He and Jake
Gettman. formerly big league out
fielder, are the only Russians, real
Russians by birth, who have ever
PITCHES PERFECT GAME
Birmingham, Ala., June 19. —Ben
Tincup, the former Phillie pitcher, '
working on the hill for Little Rock
against Birmingham yesterday, in a
Southern Association game, blanked
the locals without a hit or a run in
a nine-inning game. Score, 3 to 0.
It was a perfect game, not a man
reaching first base on the Indian.
Tincup has been pitching great bail
for Little Rock all season.

In Russia there is no baseball and

New York Giants Weak;
Lack Pitching Strength
New York, June 19.—1n spit® of the
fact that they again are in first place,
if the Giants succeed In driving their
way to the National League pennant
they will be doing it in the face of
the dope, which is against them.
With John McGraw watching hap
penings from the shelter of a grand
stand, Lew McCarty out of the pas
time, Charles Herzog weighted down
with the care of managership in ad
dition to a wounded back, and a pitch
ing staff ready to crack when the
strain of double-headers begins to get
heated, the Giants look woeful In
comparison with the high-rated ma
chine that started out to cog wheel
Its way to a nag.
Juggernautlng took a decided sloop
when 1 John K. Tener suspended and
fined McGraw. It was the blow that
will count most If the Giants are
eased lnto # some position other than
first wheit the season is over.
Never powerful this year in the
region of the pitcher's box, the Giants
are suffering there more than ever.
Schupp has not shown overly mucn
in recent starts, despite the fact that
his string of victories remains un
broken. The antic of Poll Perrltt In
Pittsburgh when he blocked the Pi
rates from scoring should be heart
ening, but he Is the only real able as
sistance on the face of present re
turns who is ready to lend mucb

PHILLIES LAND
STAR TWIRLER
"Wildfire" Schulte Is Product
of New York State
League
Philadelphia, June 19.—The Phil
lies' famous "wrecking crew" of Lu
derus and Cravath has been augment
ed by the addition of Frank "Wild
fire" Schulte, well known for his
long-distance clouting during the
halcyon days of Frank Chance's worid
beating Cubs, the veteran coming to
the local team yesterday when Man
ager Pat Moran Claimed him from
Pittsburgh at the waiver price. The
Pirates got him last year in a Gt'.il
with the Cubs, handing over Catcher
Arthur Wilson for Schulte and Catch
er Bill Fischer.
Schulte is by no means a young
man. having reached the high-water
mark of his baseball career as far
back as 1911 when he established a
National League record for home runs
with twenty-one circuit wallops to
his credit. After this achievement
Schulte was hailed as the wonder of
the age. Buck Freeman's long-stand
ing mark of twenty-five homers being
the only barrier between himself and
the major league record. Since that
time, however, Gavvy Cravath, the
Phil's human shrapnel, has battered'
these figures, getting twenty-four

1915.

pro. team in 1900. Two years later
he elevated himself to the Syracuse
New York State League aggregation,
with whom he pastimed until late In
August, 1906, when the Cubs took a
liking to his general style of play and
purchased him. He remained in Chi
cago until the Pirates secured his
services last year.
The Phils' new acquisition will be
thirty-five next birthday, stands five
feet nine and one-half inches and tips

may not prove a valuable asset to the
Phillies in their pennant fight this
year for thus far he has set neither
the world nor the National League on
fire with his batting. He has located
the offerings of opposing pitchers for
the modest average of .216 in the
games played to date, but should he
succeed in getting a line on the exaci
longitude and latitude of the Phils'
right field wall in the heat of any of
the championship battles it is unlike
