COFFEE TRUST CASE
MAY BRING PROTEST
FROM BRAz|L|ANS
Embassy Awaiting Decision
of State Department Be-
fore Taking Action.

That Brazil, through its ambassador
here. has indicated to the State De-
partment that II will be inclined to re-
gard the prosecution Of the Coffee trust
as an unfriendly act against which it
will enter the most serious protest, was
made apparent in a statement from the
embassy to the effect that "the am
bassador Is now awaiting the action of
the department before he takes any
new steps" Senior De Cana, the am
bassador, evidently regards the Coffee
trust matter as a welghty diplomatic
burden, for he has studiously avoided
interviews, and the only word that II
has been possible to get from him was
the fact that he was waiting"
The ambassador has had three audi
ences with Secretary Knox relating to
the Coffee trust. At the first audience
Secretary Knox informed the ambas-
sador he had no official information
on the prosecution of the trust. He
sent over to the Department of Justice
for a copy of the brief filed in the Fed
eral court at New York. which Is really
all the official information available,
and gave the ambassador copy. AT
a subsequent interview Senior De Cana
is believed to have Informed Mr.. Knox

MONEY IS NEEDED
FOR IMPROVEMENT
To FAIRGROUNDS
Athletic Contest Is Sched-
|, uled to Take Place
June Is.

Despite the present lack of appro-
priations, washington's Fairgrounds
are in as good shape as last year. II
provision is made for the Bloomingdale
recreation ground gain of one area
will have been made. There are now
nine Fairgrounds in operation, each of
which will take care of 500 children per
day. The Fifth and l. streets play
ground is yet to be placed In operation.
Money is needed badly to cover de-
probation. The immediate use of this
money may not appear clearly, but
those familiar with the work realize
that valuable equipment will go to the
scrap heap II It Is not taken care Of.
Between 5000 and $4,000 is needed.
Last year a considerable amount of
money was received from private
sources for the maintenance of the
recreation plats. Some money Is being
given philanthropically this year, but
the amount Is relatively small.
Washington Fairgrounds are assured
of competent instruction. A class of
seventyfve prospective teachers meet
for instruction each week in the Epiph-
any Church gymnasium, and from
among these candidates the teachers
are selected to look after the physical
welfare of the washington children.
New qualifications for playground
teachers were recently embodied in reg
ulations drawn by the District Com
missioners.
The general athletic contest sched-
uled for June Is is the central object
of attention among playground devo-
tees at this TIME. 1t is probable that
nearly 1000 children will enter this
contest. 1t was intended that the
meet should be held at Union League
park. but this arrangement was
spoiled. Superintendent of Play
grounds E. s. Martin expected to
know late this afternoon: where the
competition Will be held.
While the probable action of Con-
gress in providing money for play
grounds Is causing some worry there
is nothing but joy in the playground
camp over the promise of the Demo-
cratic and Republican members of
the House to play a game for the
henefit of the local Playground Asso-
citation. This game will be played
about June 15. .0..'
superintendent Martin will leave
early in June for Cleveland where
he will address the sixth annual con-
vention of the Fairgrounds Associa-
tions of American on the question of
whether a city may properly approp-
riate money for the maintenance of
the Boy Scout organization.

blows in before Wednesday of next
week. The southpaw finger and Mrs.
Holmes, who was formerly a Newark
girl, nave written to local friends of
their intentions and will locate with
Mrs. Holiness relatives in North
Eighth street.
The Newark Club has beer trying for
some time to get Bill Kay, the outfield
recruit, to come up from his home in
Virginia to talk over his salary for the
coming season and sign a contract, and
Kay has promised to drop in, but has
failed to put in an appearance to date.
He will probably wait now until the
time for the team to depart for the
South before coming to Newark to
agree on terms.
Bob Holmes and his better half will
leave Waco today n are due here on
Wednesday,. Holmes is in fine fettle,
according to his letters, and expects to
settle down and pitch consistent ball.
Now that he has hitched his cognomen
to a permanent contract in marriage
he is ambitious to mount to the top
rung of the ladder and wants to climb
up to the big show. If Holmes puts
his mind down to his work he can do
1t, for he has the ability.

OTTAWA, Feb. 2As-The launching
Of the Connaught Park Jockey Club
here is regarded by racing men az
marking a new era in racing In
Canada. The club has bought a large
tract of land on the Quebec side of

naught, whose coiors will be seen at
the meeting, the wealth and high So

the assurance that bookmaking will be
allowed, have already brought hun
dreds of responses from Canadian and

Substantial "RaiSe' for
Catcher Harry WeISher
Local Boy First to Get Increase
in League Which Has
Cut Salaries.

Harry Welsher, the local catcher,
who had a great season with Wheeling
in the Central League last year, has
attached his signature to a Wheeling
contract for the coming season, and is
ready to handle the Wheeling pitchers
slants again.
The fact that Welsher was the first
player in the Central League to receive
an advance in salary over last years
stipend is q tribute to Harry's ability,
for the Central League made a down
ward revision In its salary limit re-
Gently. Welsher got a very substan-
tial raise over last years compensa-
ton for his services.
Early In the season Welsher was used
in the outf1eld because the manager
could not get an outfielder to hit like
Harry did. In thirty-four games he
had a fielding average of .971 In tie
outield, accepting III chances and
committing but five errors. In the
catching department his mari was .94S
for 6S games. while his batting average
was .253 in 102 games.
Welsher caught better ball most of
the time than Murray, the Wheeling
backstop, picked up by Jack Dunn.
Harry was always a bit light for a
catcher, but has taken on ten pounds in
weight and has brilliant prospects Of
advancing after another season in the
Central League.
His work will be watched by Joe Nc
Ginnity this year.

Kilbane, the new featherwelght cham
pion, appeared yesterday with his left
eye discolored from the goat tactics
OF Abe Attell at Vernon Thursday. The
cut, indicted in the sixteenth round,

chance; will you give it to him?" Kill
bane was asked.
IT don't think he deserves it," the

foul way he fought yesterday. Besides,
the public knows ,Attell would stand
no chance with me n that would
hurt the gate"

was little likelihood Of a return match
at Vernon.
Kilbane has accepted a theatrical en-
gagement and said he would remain on

After One Minute of Fighting
in Second Round Willie
Takes a "Trip"

Mike Gibbons, the st. Paul welter-
weight, knocked out Willie Lewis after
four minutes OF boxing atNthe Empire
A. C. last night. The blow that ound-
ed the death-lSneil to Lewis was q
crashing right to the jaw. The hg
fans, though not treated to q long
fight, never saw Gibbons show to more
advantage, both as a boxer n q
fighter. 1t was evident that he mon
had made up their minds that the fight
was not to go the limit, for Gibbons
waded right into his man, trying TO
make 1t last just about one minute, II
possible. The straight jabs OF Glib

to Willie's jaw without a return.

On Mikes ear. Gibbons then woz9ke{
Lewis into the-formey-ac Corner and
rubbing his nose with his glove got
Lewis to lead. Tt was a sad thing for
the latter. A left aimed at Mike fell
short a mile, and in return Lewis was
reigned with a fusillade OF rights a
lefts. This was a bit more than Lewis
could stand, and he went to the o a
vas. He crawled to his feet at he
count of eight. when the bell gave him
a new lease Of life.

1t is unlikely hat any official state

There is no question, however, that
Curley has accepted the proposition
