DR.. William r. Hornaday, director

Hornaday says:

Alphabetically Wisconsin may
come near the end of the roll call;
but by downright merit in protection,
she comes mighty close to the head of
the lists OF states. Her slate of Work
to be done is particularly clean; and
she has our most distinguished adj

According to the standards that
this moment, Wisconsin has good
series of game laws. But the hour
for a reformation of ideas and prin-
ciples has struck. We heard it first in
April, 1911. The wild life of America
must not be exterminated according
to law. contrary to law, in the absence
of law. Wisconsin must take fresh
grip on her game situation, or 1t will
get away from her after all.
Not another prairie chicken or

For goodness sake, Wisconsin, stop

our country. and scourge to our

CINCINNATI DROPS TINKER.
Manager and Board Of Directors
Fail to Agree on Terms.

CINCINNATI, November est was
officially announced by the board of di-
rectors Of the Cincinnati base ball club
late yesterday that Joe Tinker. man
ager of the team last season, would
not manage 1T during the season Of
1914. Inability to come to terms with
Tinker is given as the reason for
reaching this conclusion. The official
statement follows:
The officers and directors of the Gin
cinnati Exhibition Company desire to
announce that they could not come to
satisfactory agreement with Mr.. Tim
ker to act as playing manager for the
Cincinnati team next year. The ques-
ton involved did not pertain to salary.
Mr.. Tinker seemed to believe that he
was entitled, if he again assumed the
position as manager of the Reds, to
usurp all the authority vested by the
stockholders in the executive officers
and the board of directors of the COM
pany. Under these conditions these di-
rectors decided not to re-engage Mr..
Tinker as manager of the team for
next year
"Who the manager of the team will be
is a question for the future, and will be
taken up and considered at the. proper
time"

Georgetown will close its foot ball
season tomorrow. The Blue and Gray
eleven is to meet Holy Cross in
game which, if won, will give it a clear
| title to the championship of the Cath
Ole colleges in the east. While this
title is somewhat vague to an outsider
it is nevertheless one for which Holy
Cross, Fordham and Georgetown will
fight as desperately as for the cham
pionship of any section.
Whether or not Georgetown will be
able to defeat the Worcester eleven is
very questionable. There is no doubt
that it will be against a more capable
eleven than any it has yet faced, with
the exception of those which represent
ed the Naval Academy and the Indians.
Holy Cross is nearly always repre-
scented by a foot ball team the equal
of any secondary college eleven, and it
plays the majority of it's games against
colleges much larger than itself. Some
thing of the kind of schedule played
by Holy Cross may be known when
it is stated that the team has met
Yale Harvard and Princeton this sea-
son. besides playing its other games
Any team which can go through a
schedule of that kind is certain to be
very formidable.
Just what kind of condition Georgetown
will be in when it faces the New Eng
landers tomorrow is hard to tell. Or
course, the Blue and Gray did not suS-
tain any serious injuries in the Virginia
game, but it is always a very difficult
matter to get the men into shape
again after the relaxation which natural
ly follows the big game of the year. 1t
will be remembered three years ago that
V. NJ. I. came within the barest margin
of beating the Blue and Gray after it had
lost to Virginia SO to o. and Virginia
had been beaten by Georgetown the
previous week by Is to 0. If Georgetown
is back in the condition it was when it
met Virginia, it will give Holy Cross a
hard struggle, but il the men have not
yet gotten back into shape the odds will
favor the visitors.
The game will begin at 2:3O and the
gates will be opened at 1 o'clock. Wey-
mouth Of Yale will referee.
The Nationals and vigiants, two indie
pendent foot ball teams which have been
claiming the championship of the Dis
trict, win meet tomorrow in a contest to
decide the supremacy. The Vigilants have
the heavier and more experienced play
ers, but the Nationals are figuring that
they have chance to win. The game
should be sharply contested.
The Maryland Agricultural College
eleven will leave tomorrow morning for
Chester, Pa, where 1t will meet the
Pennsylvania Military College. The
Farmers realize that they are p.tted
against the best secondary team they
have faced this season. the Keystone
state boys not having lost a game and
having defeated the strongest secondary
elevens in that section. The Chester ag-
gregation won from st. Johns by q to o.
while the Aggies could win by q margin
of only Ii to from the same school.

That was the answer Eddie Collins.
king of second basemen. made to an
offer Of $4,000 for three years labor
in the Federal League. Abe L. Einstein,
a Philadelphia. who represents the
outlaw base ball organization, made the
proposition to the Athletics star.
The contract which was presented to
Collins called for yearly salary OF
SIS 900, or $45 900 for the trio OF sea
sons. To guarantee the payment Of this
princely stipend, the $4,000 was to be
nlaced in any bank selected by Collins,
where it would draw interest. AT the
same time an arrangement was to be
made by which he could write semi
monthly checks for $1,250 during the
playing season. When the three years
had ended, it was pointed out to Eddie
that the interest would increase the
amount to more than $4,000.

Federals to Plan for a Raid on the
Major Leagues.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, November GA
letter vote, closed at noon yesterday by
representatives of the Federal League Sc
lected Pittsburgh for their regular meet
ing place, to plan for the raid on big
leagues for material The session will
start next Saturday morning. A finan-
cial plan will be outlined.
Secretary W. T. McColloch of the
local club received the official notice last
night, and is making plans for the enter
tainment of the visiting Federal League
officials.
While the plans for next season and
the talk of forfeits will play a big part
in the meeting here. the real purpose is
to take up the question of making induce
ments to the major league players. The
plan will be worked on the mutual benefit
scale Two men will be in charge of
the securing of the players. while the
men, when secured. will be drawn for by
lot with all clubs participating.
The rule adopted at the western meet
ing. at Indianapolis, provides that il a
player is transferred he will not receive
less money than he signed for, nor at
any time during his playing in the Fed
eral League will he receive less than his
original contract.
Every CLUB in the league will be repre-
sented Saturday.

than an advertising effort, and il is to the
credlt OF Collins that he is not even Civ
ing 1t serious consideration. The Federal
League has threatened to make a fight On
the two major leagues by raiding them M
their stars This campaign will most like
ly consist of making ridiculous PROPOSE
tons to various players without any in
tention of fulfilling them. but which will
serve to give the newcomer a lot of no.
toriety
A star ball player when tempted to ac-
cept such a proposition would want the
$4,000 deposited to his credit in some
bank, and it is a safe guess that there is
not club in the Federal League which
could carry out this part of the con-
tract.
1t is understood that all the ma Tor
league clubs have agreed to wait until the
last week in January before sending con-
tracts to their players. No club viii at
tempt to sign player before that time.
The fact that so per cent of the members
of the fraternity will not talk business
with their employers until they are re-
leased from pledges does not appear to
worry the magnates one bit Under the
surface however. there is a rumor that
many players already have accepted
terms verbally and that no matter what
may be the outcome OF the fraternity's
demands for reforms, they will sign con-
tracts as soon as they receive them
There has been some flirting with the
Federal League people. but the latter
have been unable to show enough real
money to cause dissatisfaction among the
players belonging to organized base ball
Arthur Shafer of the Giants has spiked
the rumor that he did not intend to report
to McGraw next spring. Shafer, who is
wintering in California. says that his con-
tract with the New York club has another
year to run and that he will be one of the
first players TO put in an appearance at
Marlin, Tex, next spring.
