Mentally, the first aj fresco shows

of overhand smashes had Coffey

There waa onlv two possible answers.
Either It was a "yep, you're on; I'm your
mar.." or the collegian declined the
Mucklan offer on the grounds that he
didn't want to engage In professional
base boll.
Referred te tha Coach.
But times have changed. A big league
scout hsvlng "spotted" a real player
among the colleges, finds that he can't
d business with the player direct. The
player refers him to the coach. The coach
being a man of the world, and knowing
that the college youth looks like a pos
sible big leaguer, gets an option on the
collegian's services. The collegian won't
dicker with the scouts directly and when
the coach dickers he adds about $500 or
11.000 to the demand so that ha will get
hla own "bit."
The colleirian. In these days, sneese at
the $1,200, $1,100 or even $2,000 offers of
yore. They hove heard about fabulous
salaries bring psid In the base ball
world and they wa.it a large slice. Most
of the cjllege stars of 1916 who have been
approached on the subject of signing In
dicate that nothing short of 13,009 a year
and an iron-clad two-year contract will
Interest them.
Many Collesrlate Stare.
The 1016 college season has developed
some wonderful ball players. Some of
them mlb'ht make good In the big leagues
and they might not The chances are
against It, because only about ona out of
every t4n collegians who have been given
a chance In fast company have "made
good.' - ,
Nsyland, the wonderful Army pitcher,
stands head and shoulders above all the
collegians who have coma to the fore
this year. He . won nineteen straight
gomes and no ona was a flukey victory.
Ho won all ot them on pitching ability
alone. He has speed, great control, curves,
a brain and he's game to the core.
Tacks" Hardwlck, the greatest all-
around athlete Harvard aver developed.
has played brilliantly In tha Crimson
outfield this year, and takes hla place at
the top of tha list of college outfieldera.
J-egore of Yalo, a foot ball star of the
first magnitude, shone with even greater
brilliancy In the base ball firmament this
year.
Legore Is a shortstop and fields with
the ease and grace of Lajole. He hits
with the terrific power of Lajole and
he's a whirlwind upon bases. He'a the
best shortstop seen among tha colleges
this year and tha bast that has been
produced in many years.
Rafter of Syracuse, and Hobba of tha
Army, are great outfielders and both
arc slugger. Nash, who played first
bss for Harvard, ranks as the greatest
fielding and hitting first lacker, while
Watt of Columbia looma up as the best
second n&cker.
Oerhardt of the Army nine, easily waa
the class among the third Backers, while
Harte of Harvard showed himself to be
the beat catcher among tha eastern col
leges. And these men are only a few
of the many stars that shone these years
and attracted tha big league scouts.
liut tha chanoes are that of thla outfit
not mora than ona, and possibly two,
will become professional ball players
when their college days are over, because
thev want too much money for their
services and the major league clubs have
tired of gambling with collegiate talent

; Plains of Nebraska
NEW TORK. June 13. -Alex Flndlay
of Philadelphia, who recently returned
from Europe, played several rounds of
golf while on tha other side, and says
he never was above eighty In any round.
Flndlay was the first golf professional to
come to America, It haa been claimed
for him that he waa the flrat to Introduce
the royal and ancient game Into thla
country. He brought his clubs with him
when he came over from Scotland way
back In '87, and started playing over the
.plains of Nebraska while he was a cow
boy. '
- Ona of his favorite paatlmes waa to ride
along on his mustang and hit the ball
with hla driver, much after the fashion
of a polo player. He also taught the
other boys on the ranch the game, and
tbey laid out several holes. This waa
In the spring of 1887, A few months
after the flrat course was laid out near
Yonkers and called Ft. Andrews, after
the famous St. Andrews golf links In
Scotland. Thla haa generally been
credited aa tha flrat real course In
America.
