plant will be unavailable unless a new
lease is taken. Such a step would in
cur a tren endoTns expenditure, for the
owners, realizing that Farrell intends
to move in the very near future, have
asked an exorbitant rental.
Farrell is rushing work on his new
plant at Broadway and Two Hundred
and Twenty-ffth street. A number of
railway spurs have been run into the
marsh and. old creek bed. Within a
very short time the great hole will be
filled. But there is no chance OF the
field being ready for play before the
spring of 1914.
As Farrell did not common opera

of John II Brush, it is believed that
negotiations with the former president
of the Giants had been opened with q
view to having both major league
teams share the use of the Polo

very anxious to rent to Frank Farrell

SWEENEY FOR
YALE TRACK COACH
CRACK HILL SCHOOL INSTRUCT
OR MENTIONED FOR BIG JOB.

New Haven Jan. 13-Yale's athletic
changes will be extended to the de-
partment of track athletics, and the
investigation of this branch of sports
has been begun. The movement to
bring Mike Sweeney here from the
Hill School as coach of the track
team has taken form and is pushed
by a faction of former track athletes
Whether they will be able to influence
Captain Wagner of the track team
to make the change is uncertain.
John Mack, the present track coacn
and football trainer. has been mere
seven years. and has MADE many
of any track expert and physical con-
ditfoner of athletes in America They
are as stubborn in demanding ms re-
are in urging him upon the track
team.
Mack;s contract has expired. and
the present time is naturally one In
especially in view of the fact that no
matter whether he or Sweeney is
chosen for the position long-ter1n
contract will be demanded, such as
Mike Murphy of Pennsylvania
'sPooch'' Donovan of Harvard and
Keene Fitzpatrick of Princeton have
been given. Mack has been given no
long-ferrn contract since he came to
yale
Last fall, in football nnidseason,
Mike Sweeney spent several days here.
The object of his visit was a mystery,
but it was supposed that he had been
summoned by Captain Spalding of the
football eleven. who had been under
his supervision physically at the Hill
School. 1t is now known that
Sweeney has been approached relative
to coming here. The matter will be
left for settlement for the Graduate
Harry Brooks, the former Yale
eprinter: Elton Park, the former man
ager and Captain Wagner, who alone
possesses the power to make the for
NAL appointment.
Inasmuch as the position relates to
the conditioning of the football eleven
in the fall, as well as the track coach
ing in the spring, the football manage
ment will have a hand in the decision
and, for this season. it is likely to be
delayed till after the details of the
new football coaching system are an
nounced-
Incident to it is the selection of a
proposed coach for the cross-country
team Mack had been given authori-
ty to take up the matter of coming
with Billy Queal, the distance cham
pior who won second prize in the Eng
fish race last week.
Quea1 expressed himself favorably to
coming here before he departed for
England, but in case Sweeney is given
the appointment at Yale instead of
Mack, it is uncertain whether Queal
will be made crcss-country coach.
Yale's crosS-countFy team has been
coached by Mack as general coach of
the track team.
Captain Ketcham,s appointment OF
his football coach will not be made
former captains who, were here for
last weeks conference favored the
selection of Foster Sanford. It is by
no means certain that he can be in
Howard Jones, and who is favored by
several captains of the past.

anniversary OF PEACE PACT
BETWEEN WARNING LEAGUES

There was considerable friction over
the distribution of players, but all diff
ferences were adjusted for the sake
of harmony That the fans appreciat-
ed the change from war to peace was
shown by the incr eased attendance IN
1903. Five of the eight National lea
que clubs made money that year,
whereas most of them had lost heavily
in the two preceding years In the
Americans league all the clubs, save
Washington and Detroit, broke even or
made money. and the losers were not
much out of pocket.
Mexico has turned out two good box
ers in the lightweight division, in Au-
relia Herrera and Joe Rivers. Seven
years ago when AureIia was in his
prime, he scored one OF his most i'm
portant victories when he knocked out
the famous Young Corbett in the fifth
round at Los Angeles. Five years ago
Rivers, then at the beginning of his
career, knocked out Max Weber in the
City of Angels. Herrera later took on
old John D. Barleycorn, and was
stretched cold early in the engagement
If he had left John alone he might
have become champion. Rivers,
whose real name is Lito Ybarra, has
no such failing, it is said, and he looks

G. 0. P. MEASURES
TO START

Republican legislation for the ses-
sion of 1913 is well shaped up. A
caucus of G. o. p. legislators and lead
ers was held this morning in Repub-
lican headquarters and the most im.
portant bills to be introduced at this
session were submitted.
The public utilities bill, about which
there has been much speculation, is
ready for introduction. 1t is a
lengthy document and has enough
food for thought to provide sustenance
for standing army of ''high-broWs. =
The bill provides for commission
with powers to examine into all sorts
Of public utilities and public utility
corporations.
a public lands bill, direct primary
ILL and half a dozen others OF much
Importance are also ready to be in
troduced
Representative Holstein has been
in the city for a week working on
legislation that is to be introduced,
and largely as result of his efforts
number of much-needed measures
of various kinds have been drafted
and are now in shape for early con-
sideration.
Territorial Chairman Robert w.
Shingle, who was at the caucus this
morning and who is chairman of the
legislative steering committee, said
this afternoon that he believes Re-
publican legislation is in good shape
for the opening of the session. Chair
man Single has done much work him
self to make the course of the G. o.

work of 1919. :

WANTS
Much, THINKS
governor FREAR

"It beats the Dutch" said Governor
Frear this morning, that some OF
these fellows can't get over the idea
the counties must continue to draw at
the territorial pap, as they used to do, :
He was commenting on the report
from Hawaii that the legislative dele
cation from the Big Island intends de-
manding total appropriation of ST.
250, 900 from the territory for inn
proYements there during the next hi
ennium
As matter OF fact, Treasurer
Conkling states, the territory will have
only about $I,500.000 to spend for gem
eral improvements during the next
two years. Were Hawaii's demand
granted it would leave only $250.000 to
be spent by the government on all the
other islands.
Aside from the excessiveness OF the
demand says the governor, cit shows
bumor because so much of the amount
asked from the territory Is for projects
that must be handled and paid for by
the county alone, and for which the
territory cannot be held responsible.
For years we have been trying to
get some sort of dividing line be-
tween the duties and responsibilities
OF the. territory and the counties. We
succeeded quite well when the last
tax law was passed. 1t differentiates
between the two governments and
shows explicitly where the territory's
responsibility ends.
Now We have no objection to how
much Hawaii spends on public inn
proYements of most sorts. But the
people of Hawaii may have a good
deal to say about ii, because the
money Is not giong to come from the
territory but from the citizens OF the
Rig Island themselves. If they spend
that S1,250,000 they are talking about
they will discover that 1t is coming
from their own pockets, and that they
will be paying much larger taxes to
make it up"
A number of the items mentioned
as part of the appropriation that
will be asked for Hawaii belong dis
tinctly to the county. Among these
are sums wanted for improvements
on the Hilo Jail and morgue. The
territory has nothing to say regard
ing such projects, its only duty being
to collect the taxes assessed on the
island and distribute the proceeds
among the county departments for
which they are intended.
The sum of $650,000 for the COM
pletien of the Hawaii belt road is
mentioned as one of the items to be
urged. This project must be support
ed by the territory and Of the appro-
priaticn. of 100000 set aside for the,
