Has Had Enough Basketball
and Scorns Riuals.

All homes of the Columbia basketball team
plavinc any more games this season were
nut at rest yesterday. when y was an
nor,nce1 that the FIVE had dishanded. ana
that the PLAYERS had reported for other
sports. making it impossible for them to
continue basketball practice No ofnc'ai
announcement was made by the manage
ment in regard 70 the challenges received
from New York University and Williams,
hut II is understood that they were declined
several DAYS ago.
The reason for the disbandment Of the
CoI,Jr,bia five so early in the season Is
probsbiy due 10 the fact that the fight for
the Western championship among the
teams of the conference league is SO I'M
settled that the local players did not wish
10 stav in training until the end of March
and then find that the Western title had
been Won by team which could not com
nete in the East At present Illinois, Chi
caro and Minnesota are fighting it out on
almost even terms for the honors. and 1t Is
not Likely that it will be fully settled until
the last game is played on March II.
There IS however. much disappointment at
Columbia that the team has broken up. for
il was desired by the students that series
of games be played with Williams which
has laid claim also 10 the championship OF
the East.
Another effort will be made to reorsan-
ize the Intercollegiate Basketball League
at meeting to be held shortly in this city
All the old members Of the league except
ing Harvard, which has abolished the sport,
have agreed to meet. and will go over plans
for the re-establishment OF the league 1t
would include Columbia, Cornell, Pennsyl-
yania Princeton and Yale.

Columbus Day.
TRv Telegram to Tho Tribune


Boston March 1.-The Boston and New
York clubs Of the National League Will
finish out the regular schedule ahead of
time. President John T. Brush of the
Giants and President S. c. Dewey of the
Boston Nationals have agreed to play the
games scheduled for October Is and Is at
New York on July % and September 9,
which are open dates in the schedule.
The question has been referred TO Presi-
dent Thomas ]. Lynch for approval, and in
all probability X will be promulgated. The
Boston team will thus close the season at
Brooklyn on October II, the new holiday in
New York State. Columbus Day. The
Giants Will close their season on the same
date with Philadelphia at the Polo
Grounds.
The Pittsburg and Cincinnati clubs have
arranged to get rid of late games also by
taking advantage OF two or three open
dates so that those clubs which fought for
the shorter schedule at the recent meeting
in New York have managed to evade the
longer one to the extent at least of two
games.
Chicago. Brooklyn, ST. Louis and Phila-
delphia must play out the full schedule to
be consistent.

fain, of Oregon. and Robert L. Ovens o.
Oklahoma, assailed to-day the present sys
tenn OF boss rule and the resulting protec
ton of corporate interests. Th7 neWspa-
pers and even the press associations were
attacked as subservient to the interests
by Senator Owen.
Senator Owen referred to the streetca'
strike in Philadelphia. and said 1t IS the
result OF commerciaIism- After reference
to the trusts which he declared are crush
ing down the people.% he said that power
must be taken from machine politicians OF
there would be a revolution In America
similar to that in France He charged
that legislatures under the present sys-
tenn were known to pass Jaws craftily de-
signed for the protection of personal and
corporate interests
He charged that the newspapers of New
York and other places, and even the press
associations, would not publish the Ten
Commandments unless it were TO the ad-
vantage OF 1.-THE interests He expressed
sympathy for John D. Rockefeller and
similar men and said that they would be
happier IL they did not control such vast
interests. He said 1.-The time for crooked
government TO cease has arrived
have never been able to see why it is that
legislatures fear the people on this plan
when they themselves must be elected by the
people" He thought the first step toward
the publication Of politics was through the
Initiative and referendum and said that
Oregon's experience had been that it re-
moved outside evil influences from politics.
Senator Chamberlain said he could not
understand the position Of the legislatures
who opposed the initiative and referendum,
as they practically said to the voters you
have intelligence enough 10 vote for me,
but you have not the intelligence 10 vote
for the laws you want He opposed the
whole OF the present convention system
as wrong. saying, Under this system the
delegates sent to the conventions are not
the choice of the people. but are the men
chosen by the bosses. With the initiative
