LEACUERS
MAY DECLARE A WAR
At Meeting Today Outlaws Ex-
pect to Resent Big
Leagues Actions.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. November IA
declaration of war upon organized base
ball is expected to be the result of the
meeting of magnates of the Federal
League, who will convene here today for
a two-day session. This seemed to be
the undivided opinion of the organiza-
tion's sympathizers and promoters WHO
arrived last night.
The recent signing of ShortStop Al
cock of the indianapolis Federal League
club by the Chicago American League
team has brought the matter to u point
where war must be declared or the Fed
eral League, suffer from the invasion of
the new organization said. Just what
plan of action the ,nagnates will adopt
none of them would say.
At the meeting today officers will he
elected, two new cities will be granted
franchises, four towns will report upon
the selection of new park sites and each
club will be required to deposit 5000
guarantee that the season will be fin
iShed. George Stovall, former manager
of the ST Louis Americans. is expected
to sign a contract to manage the Kansas
City club next year.
Among those who arrived yesterday for
the meeting are Stovall and Harry Gold
man of Baltimore. The latter represents
a syndicate which is asking for Fed
eral League franchise. He and his asso-
ciates have raised the necessary guaran-
tee and have secured an approved site for
a Federal League park. 1T was said last
night that Baltimore practically was as
sured Il place i'm the circuit.
In the contest for tue presidency of the
league it appeared that Edward Stein
niger, former president of the st. Louis
Federal League club, and LLOYD Rickert,
secretary of the organization. are the
leading candidates.

Eastern High school undoubtedly has a
chance to win the high school foot ball
championships Its splendid showing
AGAINST the Business eleven yesterday
places it-in "a position where it must be
considered as a very important factor IN
the remaining contests. 1t will not be
an easy matter for any of the other in
situations to obtain a victory over the
eleven from Capitol Hill. Its work OF
yesterday guarantees it to- be we'll in the
running, providing there is not decided
slump In its future work.
1t was not thought that either team
would be able to win yesterday by more
than one touchdown, and it really looked
as though Business had the margin be-
cause of the contest it had already
played. But Eastern came out with a
very aggressive eleven In fact, it was
commented that Eastern usually was rep
resented by u more aggressive aggrega-
ton than the other schools put out, and
this proved TO be true, being the real
factor which gave il it's victory
Thornett and Greer did the best work
for Eastern. while Harris and Wise were
the most capable men in the Business
iiHe-up. Fhe play of these men was en-
ceptional, all proving of the utmost value
to their teams Greers excellent de-
fensive work kept Business at bay during
the greater part of the game. Thornett
at quarter, kept his team on the jump
and used better Judgment in directing
his play than is generally done by high
school players. Harris did the most of

TUCUMCARI PLANNING
TO KEEP CITY CLEAN.

Tucumcar1, y. n, Feb. e4-At the
regular meeting Of the city council It
was decided to begin on March first
or thereabOut the regular collection Of
garbage and waste from the city. This
plan embraces the collection from one
ward each week. the property owners
and residents TO have a suitable gar
bage receptacle placed in the alley ad-
joining the property.
March first has been set aside as
cleanup day, when an effort will be
made to get the city in good sanitary
condition. An application to the coun-
ell by the Bay View club asked for this
move. Prizes will be offered school
children in the schools, il is said. for
work along this line a report from
the city health officer, Dr.. Fl. D. Mich
OILS, showed the number OF poor being
taken care Of by the city.
It was stated that A F. Bent, Of
Denver, who recently purchased the
electric light and power cOmpany's
plant here, would be in Tucumcari
about the last Of this month TO try
and make satisfactory contracts with
the city for electric power in the mu-
