of the annual Christmas .swim, who

rumored around the club that slnoe
Smlthson. Kerrigan, Gilbert, Jamas and
several of the old time stare wsra out
of ths gams, ths olub could no longer
compete with the colleges and that
track athletics In the club were dead.
But when Hlckson took his handful ef
men out to Columbia university and
pulled third place in ths meet and won
the relay raoe from the colleges in an
electrifying manner, the club members
Immediately decided that track athletic
were only dormant and concerted action
would get a. winning team together and
reestaDiisn the Old Urns supremacy.

Fielder Jones Is Ons of th baseball
experts who Is certain that th new
oork ball- and not ' the coldness of th
weather Is responsible for tbs numerous
hits that are being made In ths major
and minor ' league ' these - days.: ' There
has been somewhat of a difference of
opinion In this" respect, mahy consid
ering that tha late start gave the Col
lins, and Cobbs and Wagners the- edge
over the pitchers. Fielder doesn't think
so. '
"Th new cork center ball,' said
Flolder in a fannlna bee vesterdav, "la
almost wholly responsible for the hit-
ting. Ih.av'. played baseball i long
enough to know that the batters don't
get : such an edge on tho pitchers at

"It Is the new cork center. A fellow
