Artlo Hofman, tho Cubs' star out Bolder, frequently has Interesting con tributions to make to tho bosoball lit erature of tho day. Just now Artio arises to remark that It 1b a mighty hard thing for a young outfielder to Jmako good In tho major loaguos thoso .days, and says that "no matter how -good, tho recruit may look intha rec ords and wtien ho Is with tho minors, bo Is bound to havo a hard timo show ing any fielding form when ho breaks In with fast company. "I played tho outfield with minor leaguo teams for some time, and havo boon with tho CubB for a good many jBcasons, too," says Hofman, "and during all my oxperlence In basoball ;tho things that strike me as being ono of tho hardest things In the game for an outfielder to buck up against Is tho .big typo of grand stands which they 'are building around tho circuit now. i "Toko tho National league there Is Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Boston and Philadelphia In all these cities aro big, high grand stands which do not have any effect on the lnflolders, but hurt the work of the outfielders. With these big, high stands wo do not see a fly ball until It has passed out of the grand stand line, when wo get somo light behind it, and then it Is too late for us to know whero It is going to fall, and whero wo shall run to catch It; If an outfielder gets used to tho different parks. around tho circuit, this Is nqt so bad, but when ho Is just breaking in and is not acquainted with tho parks It Is liable to 'kill' hlB gamo completely. "There was a good deal of complaint from all-tho outfielders about this In Philadelphia during tho world series; with tho crowd on tho field they had an especially hard timo getting long flies, for they could not bco tho ball until it was almost on tho ground, and thon It was too lata to chaso It any distance, and Impossible with a big crowd on the field." Artlo Is not suggesting any cure for this evil, but merely tolling about it; In fact, there Is no cure unless wo are going to havo tho magnates tear ing down all their beautiful big grand stands and making their spectators sit on nothing but little benches which won,'t interfere with tho daylight and make it hard to catch fly balls. rtiOORE BETTER THAN "MATTY- Philadelphia Twlrler Is Picked as Star Pitcher of National League by Umpire Klem. Earl Mooro, former Nap, Is tho beat pitcher in tho National leaguo, sur passing Christy Mathowson, accord ing to Bill Klem, a National league umpire. "Matty knows how to pitch better than any other major league pitchor and Is stlH a wonder, but ho hasn't the stuff ho had four years ago," said Klem. "Ho is not as strong as ho used to be and wins games through tho use of his. brain moro than his LbLLIbWbbbbbW jBbbbbbbbbbbbLk bBI S i J5BBBBfc.

This makes it one of the .most cosmopolitan of universities. 8et Aside Fifty 8hares of Potomac River Stock -8chool to Have Broad-Scope Earl Moore. brawn. Matty doesn't zip that old faBt ball through as ho used to. Ho depends moro on tho deceptive fade away. "Porhaps Matty 1b easily tho most valuable pitcher in our league, yet I believe Earl Moore of tho Phillies has moro stuff on his ball than any other pitcher I worked behind during tho summer. "Really, I never saw a more decep tive ball to judgo than Moore's cross fire. It comes to you at a peculiar angle, and if It's half as hard to hit as It, 1b for an umpire to judge, thon I can easily understand why the bat ters don't fatten their batting aver ages when Mooro is working. His speed 1b tremendous and his curves fast breaking. There are a lob of great pitchers in the National leaguo, nit Moore is the one best bet to mo.K" Michigan has abolished basketball. A bill has been put before tho son ate of tho United States which will doubtless be of Interest to many poo Tie. It was Introduced by Sonator Borah of Idaho, and Is entitled, "A bill to establish tho United States univer sity." Tho establishment of a national university has boon the subject of dis cussion ever since tho colonics be came a nation. George Washington, during 1iIb entiro term as president, agitated the question, going so far as to give fifty Bhare8 of Potomac River stock, valued then at about fivo thou sand pounds sterling, toward its en dowment, providing that tho university bo sltauted in the District of Colum bia. At that timo the capltol was con iraly located. But no further stov'a wero taken, and the project fell through. Much Agitation. During tho years following, the question has been brought up several tlmeB, but because of strong opposi tion on the part of eastern universi ties, tho measures have been defeat ed. The establishment of Buch a uni versity 1b generally favored now, and it is to be hoped by many that tho measure passes; The nronoBcd unlvornltv win im ait. mated nt Washington. In regard to 'the endowment made by Washington, tho measure says: "the material provis ion for a national university mado by George Washington, in the form of grounds selected and sot apart as a site for the institution, and of stocks in tho Potomac company, shall as far as practical, bo restored and forever bo known as the Washington founda tion." Section 22 of the, measuro says: "That for tho purposoof estab lishing tho United States university there is horeby appropriated for lands and buildings tho sum of ono milflon dollars annually for ton years," and ample provision is also mado for maintenance. 8cope of University. Tho university will have all tho powers appertaining to universities ex copt that Its scope will bo much broader. It will provide training for positions in the diplomatic and con sular services, train men for execu tive and technical service In federal, state and municipal governments, will conduct research Investigations into methods of organizing and financing systems of education and "do all other thing necessary to tho fulfillment of Its purpose as a vocational and gen eral university in the broadest sense of that term." The university will bo empowered to confer an honorary de gree, to . be known as tho "George Washington degree," REVI8ION COMMITTEE. Students' Publication Board May Cut Off Lower Classmen.
