NEWARK, Del, Dec. 3O.-Without a

the Newark High School has basket

is the fastest five that have ever repre-
sented the local school and the strength
of the team has greatly surprised I'll
opponents to date. Up until this time
Newark has defeated Oxford High
26 TO >; Wilmington High, y TO Q, and
Dover High 20 to IL. Considering the
fact that the boys have developed such
strong team without the assistance of
coach the showing is remarkable. AM
other great drawback is the fact that
the only place the players have had TO
practice all season is IN the open. The
high school has no gymnasium and there
is no available building where practice
and games could be played
1t is now felt that the Smyrna High
is the only school that possibly stands
between the local team and the Stat,
championship for the season. Effort
viii be made TO secure the Delaware
College gymnasium for one game viii

two teams. The next scheduled gam,
is with the dupont High School in vii

Miller is playing a fine game at guart
this year and Green and Bowen are i'm.
proving with every game in shooting
field goals. The star of the team, how
ever, is Ferguson, the big centre. Not
only is Ferguson good defense man
but he is exceptionally strong on oflcnse

National League Stars Sign
Final Papers Assigning Ser
vices for Three Years

CHICAGO Dec. 3O.-The final pa
pers by which Joe Tinker and Nor
dccai Brown, for many years National
League stars, cast their fortunes with
the Federal League. were signed in
the local Office today. This was con-
frmed by both players. who said also
that their salaries had been guaran-
tcod by a bonding company, which
assured them full payment for their
three-year contracts. regardless Of
what fate may befalh the league.
Both said. too, that their departure
from organized baseball into the new
league had not been made without
full investigation, which convinced
them that the Federals had sufficient
financial backing to make it a real
competitor Of the older organizations.
The amount Of money either CON
tract calls for has not been made
public.
Tinker who is to manage the Chi
cago team. indicated that he would
have comparatively free hand in
obtaining players for the club and
started in at once to prepare his line
up.
After leaving word at his home
that he was going out of the city.
he hid himself in the Offices of
Charles Weeghman. owner OF the Chi
cago club, and sent a telegraph mes
sage to half a dozen big league play
ers he would like to have play in
Chicago next year He would not
say who any of these men were. but
declared that the club would have at
least five OF the men who we're In the
National as late as last year.
Brown. who is to manage the st.
Louis club. said he had made no
plans yet. except that he would go
to St Louis tomorrow night to con-
suit with the owners of the club
there.
Wceghman said every club in the
league had deposited & $25.000 for
felt that it would live up to all its
agreements. In case any Of the clubs
do not go through with their con-
tracts. the money is to become the
property OF the league He also said
he would announce the makeup OF
the local club within few days.

AMOuNr on wApDINe REQuIREn.

The question of how much wadding
should be used when one reloads
shells has been answered by an ex-
pert in. this line. He SAYS for trap or
field two or three black-edge wads
viii give good results. One cardboard
wad over powder. one white felt and
one black edge will be found equally
satisfactory. Wadding should be
chosen Of a thickness that will leave a
quarter of an inch for a tight crimp
This result is obtained by carrying
the number and thickness Of the
black-edge wads according TO the pow
der and shot charges.
The wads should be seated firmly
upon the powder.
Great pressure and heavy ramming
cause irregularity in the pattern. and
should always be avoided; but ordi-
nary variations in pressure do not ma
terially affect the pattern The fol
lowing are the loads Of shot for the
different gauges:
2Sgauge. 3-S ounce
20-gauge, 3-4 or rs ounce.
l6-gauge, ounce.
12gauge, | Is or IA ounces
10-gauge. I IA or i-2 ounces
Chilled shot always give much bct
ter pattern and larger killing circle
than sort shot. and is therefore
strongly recommended.
Use a thin card over the shot. seat

What Big Baseball Men
Think of Jump Made
by Tinker and Brown

as VIC have proof that Tinker has
put his name on paper we will in
struct out attorney. Bernard J. York.
TO apply to the Federal courts for a
permanent Injunction restraining
Tinker from playing baseball with
the so-called Chicago Federal League
club or with any other club identi-
fed with that circuit Tinker signed
a Cincinnati contract last winter for
the season of 1913 and for a stated
amount he sold an option on his
services for the season OF 1914. The
Brooklyn club has purchased that
contract and option for $4,000 in the
shape Of certified check which has
been indorsed and cashed by the
Cincinnati club. and is now ia our
bank I think that II Tinker has
really jumped. he has treated the
Brooklyn club unfairly. We made
him fair salary proposition in
writing a week ago which he is al
liberty to make public. He did not
take the trouble 10 answer our let
ter. though. and the fans ought to
know IT, Tinker has made himself
unpopular In Brooklyn, and | regret
t. He could have reached terms with
US that would have rewarded him
liberally."
James 4. Gaffney, President Of the
Boston Nationals
Il don't care to express an opinion,
iexcept that perhaps Tinker is bluff-
ing"
William r. Baker, President Of the
Philadelphia Nationals
II think the whole Tinker episode
up to the present time is unfortunate
for the National League. If Tinker
has jumped. as reported, It is up to
the Brooklyn club owners to enforce
their rights to the letter. either by
legal action or by any other course
deemed advisable by their attorneys.
Tinkers reported action doesn't add
any strength TO the fraternity's de-
mands which are to be considered by
the National Commission in Cincin-
natl on January g."
