PLAYERS DEMANDS.
MAY BRING FIGHT
National Commission Is Not
Likely to Grant Requests of
the Fraternity.
By SENATOR"

A fight is certain to come before the
National Commission when the Baseball
Players Fraternity comes forward with
its list of twenty demands upon the
magnates.
The magnates will hardly agree to the
demand that major leaguers transfer
red to minor league clubs will receive
their major league salaries. If a play
er becomes a free agent at the eXpira-
lion of his proba tionary contract the
club cannot guarantee his payment to
the minor league club from which he
was obtained, and this demand will be
frowned upon BY the commission.
The players ask that the managers be
forbidden to withdray waivers. The
magnates will hardly agree TO this. For
awhile this rule obtained in the National
League, but was never used in tine
american League. While much might
be said In defense of this demand il
- not likely that the magnates will
sSS rec TO il.

Many Washingtonians will go over to
Philadelphia to see this annual combat
between Penn and the red men from

a bitter struggle. Georgetown has no

Eighteen times have the QuakeTs met
the Indians on the gridiron. Six times
have the Indians triumphed over the
Red and Blue, the first victory coming
in 1899 and the last in 1911 But this
much may be assured, the Indians al
ways play a wonderful game against
Penn. using their very latest tricks and
playinc their hardest. Frequently Penn
was the only big team to meet the
Indians and this game was the test for
the aborigines.
Penn should win this year. The
Ouakers have shown considerable
strength in every game this season,
particularly in regard to the forward
pass Their performance against Brown
Saturday proved them a strong versa
tile eleven, one that is sure to worry
the Indians and finally beat them down.
The Indians slumped badly at Pitts
burgh. but should recover in time, to
put up a sturdy defense on Franklin
Field.

is Dartmouth's clash with the Prince

CLAIM WASTE FROM
. BIG STILL KILLS
ALL THE FISH
GAME COMMISSIONER MERCER
AT Hickox TODAY TO LOOK
INTO CASE-MANY COMPLAINTS
HAVE BEEN MADE.

State Game and Fish Commissioner
Jesse Mercer is in Hickox, where the
people are up in arms because, as
they allege, waste water from the
large turpentine plant there is kill
ing all the fish in Buffalo creek and
in the Satilla river, into which the
creek flows.
The inhabitants wrote to Mr.. Mer-
Ger, asking him to investigate, and
later petition signed by 40 names
was sent to Gov. Brown, urging him
to take some steps to stop the pollu.
tion of the streams named, so that
fishing could be enjoyed.
1t is said that besides losing the
fishing privileges of the streams
named the people around HickoX have
lost lot of cattle and it is intimat
ed that a suit against the turpentine
plant for at least $4,000 damages may
be instituted.
The situation, while novel, is not
new one for the fish commissioner
There is pending now in Fulton coun
ty suit where almost the same con
ditions exist The state law says tha
no fish streams can be polluted bul
the commissioner, in discussing the
matter today, said he did not under
stand, that this law was passed will
the view of curtailing in any way
such industries as the one operating
at HickoX.
In a communication of recent date
the National Turpentine Co. stated
hat steps had been taken to handle
the waste products of the plant anL
that the water in future would not be
polluted. However, another letter
from the Hickox people, dated last
week, said that nothing had been
done yet to stop the waste products
from going into the creek.
The letters from the people at
Hickox aredvery emphatic and the exl
pressions contained in them, indicate,
that the people of that place resent
their fishing privileges being interfer
red with in the least. One man writes
that no less than five barrels of splen
did fish were gathered from the creeh
recently, all.dead because of the stun
that got into the creek from the tur-
pentine plant. iso ri
