To the Sporting Editor OF the Evening Star:
In answer to the many requests fol
you to explain who was the leading
batsman in the County League, and In
answer to your request that / should
explain for the benefit of the sporting
public, 1 will say: The silver cup
offered by a local sporting house, was
awarded to Mr.. Flanagan, of the New
ark team, who batted 1856, as Mr.,
Hagenbruck had sent in his games reg
ularly, while the other teams neglected
to do so. They have since done so, and
/ find several players have a better
batting average. Mr.. Gill, of Forest
Hill, batted 500, but did moi taxi parl
in all games. The best batter in the
league was Charlie Levine, who batted
.4So, and played in the greatest num-
Der of games. Officially. according to
the ruling of the president. Mr.
Flanagan wins. but Levine was with
out doubt the best batter in h league
this season. Truly yours,

TIGER HARVARD
GAME NEARING
FINAL DETAILS
E YORK. Dec. 30.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.
COLLEGE football men who have
been here while the Intercol-
legiate Athletic Association was
in session have had numerous con-
ferences, n result Of which, 1t was
said today. was that the prospects for
a football game between Harvard and
Princeton next fall had been greatly
improved. In fact It is privately be-
lieved that an agreement has been
amicably reached and that the game
Will be played a Princeton November
4 next year. Especial stress wal laid
upon a talk that Percy Haughton, the
Harvard coach, is said to have had
with Coach Roper, of Princeton. Haugh-
ton would not discuss the matter, but
he is known to favor a meeting with
Princeton, and the conference was re-
garded as significant.
Another conference was between Or.
White. Carl Williams and Craig
Mitchell, of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, with Coach Haughton. There
was said. however, to be little prob
ability of a gridiron meeting between
Harvard and Pennsylvania growing
out Of the consultation.
New RuIes Endorsed.
Football as played last season re.
ceived last night the Endorsement Of
the intercollegiate Athletic Associa-
ton, gathered in this city for its annual
meeting. The association was instru-
mental in bringing about a drastic re-
vision of rules, and with the adoption
of the report presented by its commit
tee On football rules went on record as
well pleased with the results obtained.
"On all Sides declared Chairman H.
L. Williams, of the committee, opinion
seems to agree that the game under
the new rules has been made COM
~paratively safe and reasonably free
from danger. That all possibility of in
juries whatever can be eliminated is
not to be expected any more than that
it can be eliminated from other manly
and virile sports. But the excessive
dangers which previously existed, and
to which the public and those interest
ed in the welfare OF college and school
boy players rightfully objected, have
been overcome.

HEALTH OF ANIMALS BEST
BECAUSE OF GOOD DIGESTION

An interesting interview was recently
obtained with L. T. Cooper. the young
man whose theory and medicines have
created such a sensation during the
past year.
Mr.. Cooper. in speaking of the re-
markable success of his medicine, had
this to say on the subject; My medi-
cine regulates the stomach. That is
why it is successful The human stom-
ach today has become degenerate and
is the cause for most i'll health In
the horse. the dog. and the wild ami
mails generally, you see no nerve ex-
haustion. no chronic debility. They are
not shut up day after day, with prac-
able to stuff themselves with food when
their bodies have not had enough work
to justify it. The human race has been
doing this for years, and look at the
result-half the people are complain
ing of poor health. not real illness
just a half-sick. tired. droopy feeling.
They don't really know what is the
matter with them.
Il know that all the trouble is caused
by weak, overwOrked stomachs.
have proved this with my medicine to
many thousands of people in most of
the leading cities of this country [
expect to do the same thing in Europe
next year This is the real reason for
the demand for my preparation"
Among those who have recently been
converted to Cooper's theory is Mr.

BROKERS' MOTION FOR
NEW TRIAL OPPOSED
Restitution Alleged to Be a
Scheme TO Escape Prosecution

John F. Krause, San Jose broker
convicted of fraud, encountered fur
ther trouble when his motion for a
new trial was presented yesterday in
the United States district court.
Krause's attorney made the plea that
restitution had been made. In proof
Of this he cited that Krause had
decided over his lands to members of
the victimized Dunkard colony of Man
helm. Pa.
At this point Attorney Thomas c.
West stated that the transfer had
been made to escape criminal proceed
ings but as soon as Krause believed
there would be no trial he brought
suit TO regain the properties
OF the $50. 600 received from the
Dunkard colony by Krause only $4,000
is accounted for in the land company's
books The rest is believed to have
been invested by Krause in other lands
and recorded in other names than his
own. The transferred property re-
pays only part Of the Dunkards' losses.
Further hearing Of the motion was
put over by Judge Van Fleet until
February 2S.

ATTRIBUTE SHOOTING
TO VICTIMS FRIENDS
Police Have Theory Regarding
Wounding of Sidney Layton

From Investigations made by the pO-
lice yesterday they are satisfied that
the shooting of Sidney Layton in his
room at the New Western hotel on
Wednesday night was done by friends
of Layton during a dispute over the
distribution of money connected with
a deal in which they all had been in
terested. Just who the men were
Layton refuses to say.
A. B. Shaw, who saw the men run
ming away, one with a revolver in his
hand, and was told that if he inter
fered with them he would be shot.
admitted yesterday that Layton con-
fessed TO him that the trio were his
friends and that he would not prose-
cute them.
I4ayton's wife, who performs in a
Barbary coast resort and who reached
the scene of the shooting about 10
minutes later, says that the three men
had seen her flashing her diamonds
valued a $1,000 while She was per-
forming and had evidently followed
her and seen where she lived. Rob
berry, she feels sure, was their object.
They got a diamond ring valued at

MARINE FEATURES
FOR EXPOSITION
Warships and Merchant Vessels
to Play Important Part
in 1915 Fiesta
International Architectural Conn
petition for Buildings Is
Suggested

Several suggestions have reached the
exposition officials during the last few
days urging that the marine feature be
emphasized in the big fair These
proposals have been welcomed. When
the big project was first launched, 1t
was stated that the navy would be
asked to assume an important part.
This idea has been dominant since the
beginning of the vast undertaking.
Just what part the warships Will
take can not be fixed at this time. The
government will be asked to mobilize
the fleets at this port upon the open
ing of the exposition. The request
Will also be made that a number of
vessels be kept in the harbor during
the entire progress of the fair.
Foreign governments viii be invited
to participate in the naval review on a
scale larger than ever before attempted.
As the canal is 10 be open to all ma
tions on basis of absolute equality,
it is felt that the foreign govern
ments will be not only willing but
anxious to send their fleets on a visit
of courtesy to American shores
While the marine element of the
celebration viii consist mainly of naval
reviews, the merchant vessels viii be
assembled for bay parades- The canal
is intended primarily for the merchant
vessels of the world and this fact
will not be lost sight of.
The possibilities presented by ma
rine exhibitions are so vast that this
subject will be allotted TO a distinct
department
The agencies enga ged in promoting
American shipping are taken deep
interest in this phase of the situation
and viii be prepared to cooperate
when the time comes
The announcement that the local
architects are to confer with the eN-
position officials has aroused the at
tention of architects throughout the
United States From the east has
come the suggestion of a national
committee of architects. 1t has also
been proposed that an international

Want Old Names Back

Many residents of the southern sec
ton of the city have joined in a re
neWed protest to the board of supervis
ors against the recent change of stree
names. In petition filed yesterda,
with the board they set forth tha
South San Francisco first used tn,
numeral names for their avenues ant
that they believed these should be re
stored to them.
The communication, which will be re
ferred to the street committee, follows
over the written protest of 500 or
more of the principal property
holders and tax payers. OF this
southern section of the city of San
francisco, most of whom have lived
here 40 years or more, the late
board of supervisors, your 1mmedl-
ate predecessors, passed resolu-
ton removing the letters and num-
bers by which our streets and ave-
nueS We're hitherto designated and
substituting for them the names
OF persons or places to the great
injury and Inconvenience of the
people at large and TO the detri-
ment of business interests
Ihls section was the first to use
letters and numerals to designate
It's streets and avenues. 1t does
not recognize the right OF any
other part of the city to subse-
numerals and demands for this
southern section its right OF hrst
and lawful possession.
The undersigned residents and
tax payers respectfully request
your board to rectify this wrong
done, TO reconsider the action OF
your predecessors and to restore
10 our streets and avenues the let
ters and numerals by which they
