Captain Walder, Line Breaker.
In hitting tho lino, dofonslvo work
and In puutlug there nro few men on
tho gridiron today who hnvo anything
on Captain Gcorgo Walder of tho Cor
noll football tenm. For sevcrnl years
Walder has been the man to swing tho
heavy attack of the Ithacnns.
l'ho Cornell lino this season seems to
present tho greatest difficulties. It has
been sonio seasons since tho conches
havo been found with quite such n
problem. In tho Inst thrco years at
Vcast Cornell has hnd some pretty Kood

men from end to end. Last year In
particular tho line was very strong,
and tho contrast between present con
ditions and those in tho years just gone
by Is marked.
But Captain Walder Is certainly
ready for u hard year, and he will get
one. With an uncertain team at his
back, it will bo up to tho great full
back to do more than over before and
by his dashing play to cheer on his
associates.
Thlo Lfoks Impoaslblo.
Certain newspapers in several cities
uro worrying baseball fans with thoj
question, "What is the mnxlmum num
ber of hits a team can make in nine
innings without scoring?" For fear
the problem, which approaches tho
"Ann's ago" puzzle, will causo too
much trouble, hero it is:
It is flfty-four, or six hits an inning.
How? Well, tho first man up makes
a single and Is caught stealing. The
noxt batter also hits safely, and he,
too, falls a victim to tho base purloin
ing habit. Tho following thrco hitters
make Infield swats, filling the bases.
Now comes tho Joker.
A batter cannot got credit for a hit
where a base runner is caught, so wo
are compelled to have one of the base
runners hit with a batted ball, tho man
thus winged being declared out, while
the batter gets a hit under tho rules.
No runs can bo scored. That makes
six hits per Inning. Six multiplied by
nine equals flfty-four. All right In
theory, but nix on tho practice.
Madden Brings Out Youngsters.
When King James won the Annual
Champion stnkcs at tho Grnvcscnd
(Now York) race track recently, John E.
Madden was warmly congratulated not
only on the success of tho Plaudit colt,
bred by him, but also on the remarka
ble performances of practically all of
the racers that hnvo borne bis colors
on the metropolitan tracks this year.
Hodden's success with his two-year-olds
has been littlo short of phenome
nal. In Sir Martin, by Ogden, ho has
the champion two-year-old colt of tho
Mason, while Fayette, also by this
sire, is not far behind in point of qual
ity. Sir Martin has won eight races,
finishing second In four others, his
conqueror In two of tho events being
Payette, while Mr. Keono's Maskctte
beat him in tho Futurity. Figuring up.
Sir Martin's winnings so far amount to
about $75,000. Madden docs not Intend
to start him again this season, but
will send him to Englund, together
with Fayette and Lady Bedford.
The Difference In Hitters.
. Thoro are good hitters and hard hit
ters In basoball. Sometimes tho words
are synonymous;, sometimes they are
not The good hitter Is not necessarily
a bard hitter hard being used in tho
sense of driving tho ball away from
the bat hard, hitting It with great
force. There are good hitters who do
not send tho ball away hard, but who
are proficient with tho club because
thoy aro skillful and mako many hits
because thoy mako big averages.
Barclay Coaching Lafayette.
George 0. Barclay, a former fcn
fayetto college man, is now coaching
tho football cloven representing that
institution this year. Barclay left col
lege In. 1800 to Join tho Rochester
team of the Eastern baseball league
and was with that club when it won
tho pennant.
Tlbbott a Great Back.
Tad Jones pays Tlbbott, tho Trlnce
ton halfback, tho compliment of saying
that he was one of tho best backs de
veloped last season. Walter Camp,
however, did not mention Tlbbott on
any of his three All American lineups
for 1007.
