publican caucus or conference with
doors thrown wide open and the gen

questions discussed was the innoVa
ton that faced official Washington
to-day. A caucus or conference will
be held tonight, at which it is eX-
pected a resolution to this effect will
become operative.
The meeting has been called pri-
marily to decide what attitude the
Republican party should adopt on the
Underwood tariff bill, and it is as
serted that the Republicans will adopt
a policy of passive resistance by Of
fering as an amendment to the I'm
derwood bill a measure providing fol-
a scientific tariff board.
The Republican forces propose to
put the Democratic party in the atti-
tude, if .they can do so, of removing
all protection to American industries
and substituting therefor a practi-
cally free trade measure.
No Treaty Violations.
The Democratic Senators scoff at
the idea that the Underwood bill vio-
lates trade agreements with foreign
countries and are prepared to combat
any arguments that may be advanced
from the opposition.
1t is the feeling in the Senate that
President Wilson's appearance before
the Ways and Means Committee was
not without its good effect. That
body now has gotten down to actua

his position plain TO the committed

be guided in connection with any
changes they may make. The stumb-

will be passed over until the rest OF
the bill has been acted upon. when
the real contest will begin.

M'FARLAND AND BRETON. To Box in Madison Square Garden in
 First Week in March.

After months of challenging on the part of Jock Britton and weeks of bagging over guarantee and percent age by Packey Mcfarland. the long awaited and much discussed bout be- tween the two Chicago boxers has been cIinched by the Garden A. c. of New York for the first week in March. Manager Billy Gibson said the exact date would not be decided upon until Mcfarland arrives there in about two weeks, but probably March ' would be chosen for the contest.
 Since the arrival of Dan Morgan from New Orleans all the leading clubs of the city have been dfcker- ing for this match, and big offers were made by both the McMahon brothers of the Empire A. c. and Harry Pollok of the Forty fourth Street Sporting club Gibson, who has acted as Me- Farland's eastern adviser for the past two years, has also been busy, and had a long conversation with McFar- land over the long distance telephone. At the conclusion of the talk McFar- land told Gibson to go ahead and get Morgan's consent and the match would be on. This was easy, as Morgan has been trailing Mcfarland ever since he took Britton under his manage ment and he has been making all sorts of offers to get the pair in the ring.
 Neither Morgan nor the Garden A. c. will have to guarantee Mcfarland S6.0OO, the figure which the stock yards champion has been insisting on since the match was first proposed. Packey backed down on this feature

FEW BIG MONEYMAkER Baseball Not a Gold Mine as Many
 Believe.

l Have the major league magnates I seen the handwriting on the wall Are they beginning to realize that all | is not gold that glitters, and that to make and hold money in the baseball business they must have little more care To the expense end of the game! For a number of years the owners or major league franchises have been delud1ng themselves and the public into thinking that baseball Is gold mine in which fortunes are quickly and easily made. As a consequence the salaries of ball players went sky high, elaborate training trips were ar ranged big office forces maintained, and million dollar ball parks erected, all this on the presumption that baseball had only reached the halfway stage, and that big fortunes were right at hand ready to be grasped.
 Magnates Getting On.
 Now two American league magnates have sounded the warning, and others in both leagues though not publicly admitting that they have similar sen timents, have expressed themselves as feeling the same, in private. Connie Mack, the astute manager and half owner of the Athletics, says that in- stead of his club, which was twice in succession worlds champion com bination, being a money-maker, it has not paid a dividend in five years.
 Frank Navin, the president of the
 
 popularity in baseball has been passed and that it will get no greater as a money making proposition. Navin says that the only salvation of the major league club owners is to curtail his expenses, wherever possible, in stead of spending money like water, cut down IS much as possoble on the number of players carried, and in all ways conduct the club as an ordinary business proposition <
 Ball Parks Expensive.
 Nearly every ball club in the two l major leagues has expended great 1 sums of money on ornate ball parks. l Only a couple of clubs can be success ful each season, and make a round l sum of money. A little money is of l no use to the club owner. Half-mil lion dollar ball parks mean such a l great investment that at least $30,000 | profit must be made to barely pay the interest on the great sum tied up in the ball park.
 It costs at an average estimate $1,0 000 a day to run a ball club. The season lasts ,154 days, which means that the bare running expenses of a major league club is s154,000 for a season. Some run greater owing to larger salaries. Then the ball park | lnvestmen must be taken into con Taken all in all a club l must have an average of more than }, 900 attendance daily to hope to come put on the right side of the ledger under present conditions.
 Less Profit Than Loss.
 Where are the tremendous fortunes made by magnates out of baseball? Line up the amount of money lost n the sport in the last ten years and balance it with the amount actually ,leared, and it is likely that the scale would turn in favor of the losses. The nagnates have permitted the impress ion that they are all rolling in wealth, 1 Q SiT ol he. Ina l 'een good investments out of the 16 lajor league franchises in the past ten ears.

He still has a point and half lead, however. The Cuban, who had the white side of double Ruy Lopez, sacrificed a pawn at the 20th move to compEicate matters and held the upper hand until the 20th move, when he fell into trap and ad- mitted defeat at the 31st move.
