CALL ISSUED FOR MEETING.

President Charles F. Carpenter of the Independent Tri-State league has issued call to the club owners of that organization to meet at Cincin- nati Monday to make formal applica- tion to the National base ball com mission for protection under the na- tional agreement At the conference President P. T. Powers will represent the National Association of Minor Leagues.
 It is expected that the application of the so-called "outlaw" league will be granted without hesitation pro- vided the club owners are willing to accept class B protection. The own CTS of the Williamsport team, known on the circuit as The Millionaires," and the Lancaster owners are the chief objectors to class B because they fear they will lose their best players. These clubs will stick for protection only in class A and with the privilege of retaining all players now belonging to their clubs.
 While the National and American league magnates are anxious to elim- mate the only strong outlaw" or ganization in the country, they are not willing to waive claim to the players that have jumped their clubs.
 Players that had been placed on the ineligible list by the National commission for jumping contracts and the reserve rule are Harry Vol verton, Bob Unglaub, Red Owens, Jimmy Sebring, Tom Delehanty, Doc Reisling. Louis Wiltse. Hermis Me- Farland, Bert Conn. Chick Hartley. John Doescher, Curtis Weigand. Fred Crolius and Ward of Philadel- phia.
 Players who have been reinstated by the commissioners. after jumping to the outlaws, are Jack Hayden of Boston, Phil Lewis and George Bell of Brooklyn, Johnny Lush and Catch CT Donovan of Philadelphia. and Jim Wiggs of Detroit. Some of these men had been virtually blacklisted for life.
 According to President Garry Herr mann of the National commission. there are one or two players, pre- sumably Sebring and Owens, from whom the ban may not be lifted. Hermann in letter to P. T. Pow CTS on Tri-State protection says:
 Dear Sir: It Is my candid opinion that. if the Tri-State league would appear before the National commis- sion at it's meeting in Cincinnati on January 2 and file formal applica- tion for its protection and setting forth the conditions under which it would want to be admitted, and your association had a committee present at the meeting. that we could get to- gether and agree upon a proposition satisfactory to all concerned within twenty-four hours.
 As to the player question. l am of the opinion that, in so far as all major league players are concerned, with a possible exception of one or two. satisfactory arrangements could be entered into, whereby the parties interested could get together. An ap- plication should be filed and com mittee appear before the commission. and I again say that I think that mat ters could be satisfactorily arranged. Of course, the parties must act in ab- solutely good faith.

COLLEGE SPORTING GOSSIP.
How Cooney Rice Acquired the Act
 of Sliding to Bases.

On the Seattle High School eleven. which defeated the north division team of Chicago. II to 5. on New Years day, is a youth named Pullen. who plays right tackle. He is 6 feet 2 inches tall, which suggests that he may be a brother of Pullen, the West Point tackle. The West Pointer is great big chap and went to prep school in Seattle before going to West Point. He Is a red head. So is Erwin. guard on the army eleven. We had the most evenly balanced line in the country" observed an army onicer the other day. Two oI the men were red headed"
 Rice, the former quarterback of the Cornell eleven. played second base for the Waterbury team last season. and was skilful as a base runner. He had the football twist in avoiding being touched when about to slide into a bag. One of the things that made Dave Fultz one of the best sliders in baseball was his knack of throwing his body slightly out of the path, just far enough to escape the ball In the hands of the baseman. Possibly the trick was learned on the gridiron when squirming away from la tackIer. IL is a modified couchee- couchee movement. Tad Jones has it There is no elaborate lodging; just a simple twist of the mid-sec- tion without change of stride then On your way.

 Jack Doyle, who Is to manage the
 Milwaukee club the coming season should be able to write an interest | ing book on baseball. Few players |! of the present day have had the ex- perience "Scrappy Jack" has had in the different leagues of the country. Providence is a mighty good ball town, and, with hustling team and hustling brace of managers, things ought to boom. Pat Powers, who has owned the franchise, was unable to give the club his close personal att tention. With Duffy in uniform and Doe breezing around, such condi- tion will not exist next year.-Bos- ton Journal.
 1, Municipal winter jobs for ball players is return to the old times when the players of the Mutual club were nearly all city employees. Har- Try Howell, of the St Louis Americans, is water meter inspector in St Louis, and Bob Unglaub, of the Williamsport team of the Independ- ent Tri-State league, an inspector of sewers in Williamsport.
 William Lauder, the ex-New York Giants third baseman, who will coach Williams this year, expects to spend a week during the month of February with the squad in the cage, and to return at the end of March to remain with the team until the end of the season. Last years nine with the exception of Captain Neild and Outfielder Hogan, is intact.
 Pat Flaherty is a great admirer of Hans Wagner's ability as basket ball player. Wagner is, to my mind, the greatest basketball player on earth" said Flaherty the other day, and he is just as enthusiastic over the floor game as he is over baseball Since we organized team in Car negie Hans has been spending most of his time in the gym in which we practice and play"
 Sunday ball playing figured as the issue in the recent election at Mans field, Ohio. Prosecutor Charles Hus- ton. who prohibited Sunday ball, was defeated by Sam Marriott, republi-, can. The ministers took up the cause of Huston, but he was downed never theless. and although the city gen. erally returns a democrat by ma jority of 200, Marriott received a plurality of 500. Does this go to show that all baseball fans prefer baseball to democracy?
 Chairman Hermann and Secretary Bruce of the National commission have received number of letters from members of the White Sox team, acknowledging the receipt of the worlds championship watch charms. and highly praising the liberality and good taste of the com mission in selecting them. President Comiskey writes that he has had his tested with acid and finds it real. First Baseman Jiggs Donohue says that Springfield jewellers pronounce the charm the finest thing ever turned out by the trade, and Man. ager-Fielder Jones also goes into raptures over the trophy.

ATHLETES LONG LIVED.
Statistics at Yale in Favor of Con,s'
 petitors in College Sports.

That the college athlete lives lone> CT and is a sounder man in after life than the average graduate who has not gone in for athletics, Is the con- clusion of Dr William G. Anderson. director of the gymnasium at Yale university. In report which will, be published in the Yale Alumni Weekly. Dr Anderson bases this con clusion on an exhaustive statistical investigation of the mortality aniong members of Yale teams and of tho non-athlete graduates of the last ilftYl years. He says in part:
 Comparison of the mortality of, specialized athletes with the general graduate who has not distfnguishad himself in athletics to the extent of winning the Y stt]l shows in favor Df, the athlete. Of 10,922 students ini academic and Shenield classes from 1855 to 1905 inclusive 1.40s are deoA and 9,516 living. The percentag9 of deaths here is 12.9. Of the eO3 athletes from 1855 to 1905 only 60, are dead, percentage of 7.2, or only a little over half of the general grad. uste. Judging from the investigns tions 1t is reasonable to say that there is no undue strain put on tho athletes while they are in training and. their later history seems to slow they were benefited rather. than harmed. Consumption was responsi- bic for IF of the 6s deaths. but in the case of athletes the percentage oe men dying from this cause was not greater than the deaths among non~ athletes from a similar cause.
 Deaths from heart disease in tho Yale list of 5s men were { at tho ages of 35. 57. 6s and 70. The aver age is very low. Pneumonia carried oil 6. typhoid and pneumonia [. The table of deaths further shoWs that of the 5s athletes met violent deaths. of which were suicides. The inevitable conclusion from the figures gathered Is that the Yale man who came to high honors in tho major sports in the last half century has more than the ordinary man'a share of long life. But whether this is due to his development 60 an sth. lete or to the original strength Of tho man is still unproven and seemo lIko> ly to remain % unless eome moeo perfect means of comparison con = found"

NEW BRITAIN
 WAS EASY
Took the Hanna Cohort. Into Camp and Thra.hed Them
 SoundIy.

It was all Waterbury last night in the polo game with New Britain, and the 1000 or more fans present att tested their appreciation of the good playing of the locals. The New Brit aims were not in it little bit and again did the fans see some clever passing by the whole Waterbury team. The game was clean, too, only one foul being called in the whole game, and that one on New Britain. Referee Druehl ran the game as 1t should be run and allowed no delays in disputing any point. Loxson was again there with the rush and took them all, and Murray was right with him at every jump. Johnny Griffin worked all his old cleverness in pass ing, but missed several drives. This driving will come back to him after a few more workouts. Tommy Hol- derness again delighted the specta- tors, and he made fun of the New Britain players in getting the. ball away from them. John Allen in goal was bulwark of strength. The New Britain goal tender, too, was right on his job and stopped drive after drive that came his way as the large number of stops will attest.

HARRISBURG. December 23-That the

tude Ut the friends of local option These
have been wonderfully encouraged by the
success OF the temperance movement in
adjacent states and the prohibition wave
that has swept ovBr q large portion of the
country in the last ysar or two. The
forces are lining up for the conflict in the
preliminaries which pronissD Q very lively
campaign. While it may LIE taken for
granted that the liquor organizations will
stand together it Is known that Isal-
ousres exist in the ranks, and the retailers
have with difficulty been restrained from
making war upon the brewers. The Ger

be the chief support of the liquor men,
and will endeavor to defeat every man
who stood for the Craven local option

QUOTED AT Low FIGURES.
Prices for Turkeys Not Likely to Be
Above 20 Cents Per Pound,

Dealers in the local markets are predict
ing 2O-cent turkey market for tomorrow.
but others who are familiar with the con-
dition of the market think the price will
be below that figure. Turkeys were more
plentiful about the Center Market and
along Louisiana avenue today tnan they
have been at this season during recent
years. Most Of the dealers were asking
20 cents a pound for them. Some of the
country people were demanding as much
as % cents per pound for drawn fowls.
Many consumers were making purchases
today, but most of them, 1t Is believed,
will wait until tomorrow morning.
Turkeys were being received by the
tomorrow than they were today unless re-
those from distant points coming by ex-
press. There was a single shipment of
seventy-five barrels of them received by
pected this afternoon and tomorrow
morning Weather conditions were ex-
tremely unfavorable to the turkey market
today, and those whose fowls had Deen
killed over Sunday were anxious to get
rid of their stock. It Is generally believed
by consumers that prices viii be lower
wagonload from Maryland and Virginia,
ceipts fall far oelow expectations.
There are plenty duck and chickens in
the market anu the prices charged for
them, 1t is said, are low. Fruits and vege-
considered to be reasonable. There Is q
much better line Of them in the local
markets this year than there has been
for several years. All the markets ar,
burdened with evergreens, and the de-
mand for them Is as great as usual.

Else DR.. Drake Says You Won't Live
at All.

CHICAGO, December 23.-The total
number of deaths from heart disease
in 1907 in Chicago will be 24.497, which
is an increase of 1915 per cent over
those of the preceding year. The death
rate for the few final days of the year
had been estimated and included in the
figures furnished yesterday by Dr. St
Clair Drake, chief of the municipal bu-
reau of vital statistics. Chicago physi-
clans said that the rapid pace of the
present life, or the collateral effects of
1t. such as late hours. overeat1ng and
drinking too much. were responsible
for the alarming increase
There is no remedy, they said. unless
the present manner of living was
changed. A return to the simple life
was advised, shorter hours of work
wherever possible, an avoidance of late
hours, and especially late suppers. and
a reduction in the amount of food and
drink consumed. Moderate exercise
was recommended. One physician adj
vised total abstinence from liquor, to-
bacco and coffee

mends in his annual report to the secre-
tary of the Interior that sales of liquor
be prohibited within radius Of five miles
