AMERICAN
 LEAGUE SORE
 AT FEDERALS

Philadelphia, Nov. 21-'frne Amer. jean League will have absolutely nothing to do with the Federal Les que, the so called war or plans for peace, and will never take back - der any conditions any. pla7Jers who have jumped from any of it's clubs declared President Bah Johnson here yesterday.
 4.It was a big surprise to me and others to hear Murphy claim he was still owner of the Cubs Ban said. we have been given to understand that he was out of baseball and President Tener only yesterday morn ing told me that Murphy did not own any part of the Chicago cIubf and Of course I believe what Tener says
 ''The general impressionsT Johnson continued, lis that Taft has allowed 1 himself to be talked out of the deal by Murphy.,'
 when asked if he intended to take any part in, the peace plans, Johnson said: Absolutely no- Havh never met MT. Weeghman, the Wards or in | fact any of the Federal League mag mates or officials and do not intend to. We have nothing to do with the so-cal1ed war or plans for peace. We 1 don't consider the Federal League in a position to do anybody any harm and, therefore, do not intend to meet any of them to talk over a! settle ment-
 After President JohuEons haq de- clared the American League would not take any of the players who Jumped back into the league, he was asked if he thought this V vou1d be the means of creating trouble with the Players Fraternity, or cause a strike among the players. There will never be another baseball strike said Johnson ssMr. F'ultz tried that thing once, but will never attempt it again. don't think he could secure a cor poraIs guard to support him in such action?'

TENER HAS
 ROAST FOR
 FED. LEAGUE

New York, Nov. 21-"The Federal League has tried unsuccessfully to dis rupt and disorganize our league, and cannot soe trusted. It is like one of those stage ne1odramas where. the villain tries to throw the girl under the subway train in the first act, off the bridge in the second and off an ocean liner in the third After he fails in his attempt to get the girl out Of the waye he says to her in the final act, Can you trust 1ne?'
 Thus spoke Gov John K. Tener, president Of the National League, who arrived here from Philadelphia yes terday afternoon. As soon as: the head of the old organization putin his ap- pearance at the Wa1dorf-Astoria ..he was surrounded by a squad of repor- ters,s and for fully five minutes was the target of a score of questions re lating to both the Federal League and Charles Webb Murphy, who has bobbed up again as one of the most important factors in the affairs of the Chicago Cubs.

WOLGAST LOST MONEY
 ON WORTHLESS STOCK

Cadillac, Nov 214Who do you think gets the cham pion prize fight ers money? Who gets the dollars that roll in while a battler is at the top of the heap?
 Ad Wo1gast, former lightweight champion, who is spending the win ter here, and who has handled large sums, points to many recent cham pions to tell his story, This is how the Cadillac scrapper, was. led to make his comments:
 wolgast, for nearly an hour, had been talking with well-dressed stranger, who had rattled into town early in the forenoon looking for CadiIIac's most famous citizen. When the unknown finally located Ad in a downtown pool room he immediately pulled out great bundles of literature from various pockets. He wanted the Cadillac man to buy an orange grove in Florida.
 The wel1-dressed gentleman talked on and on, and Ad did his best to fol- low. admitting everything in the hope that the gentleman eventually would get through. He did not sell Wolgast any orange groves.
 serhose are the kind of guys" said Ad, when the stranger had vanished. sswho get the prize fighters money s'I ought to know said Wolgast, ttI have a lot of stock that is worthless. I own stock in mines, oil wells, sum mer resorts that no one ever has been near. or can't approach, and lot of other gold bricks. It is generally sup posed that have kept my cash pretty well. and I have. But. I'm not saying that I have never been stung. bought some diamonds once and wore them for week before I learned the truth
 Wolgast says wine cannot get all the money a champion makes, no matter how many hours per day he tries to spend it. ''They lose their nickels and their dimes having a good time" Ad said. But their dollars go to the clever fellow with a big building to sell, or a bank to start, Or some land on a desert which will yield great crops when-iteis irrigated

ANNIVERSARIES A
 OF RING BATTLES


 1S9s-Goats Doig born in Spring Valley, III. The Illinois lightweight has never shown any remarkable class in the ring, but if any belt should be hung up to be awarded to the boxing exponent sporting the oldest and most most original montckeds Goats would probably poll a lot of votes. His real name is William Doig, and he is of Scotch descent. DeiRa first op- ponent in the ring was a young boxer who boasted the name of Chee Ghee sEmmet. Spring Valley, Ill., has the double honor of being the birthplace of Doig and of Billy Papke. the for ner middIewefght champion of the world, and the little mining town is, q red-hot sporting center.

CORNELL TO
 DEMAND THREE
 MILE REGATTA

Ithaca, N Y, Nov. 21-The Com mittee on Student Affairs of the Cor nell University Faculty has taken up the question of starting a propaganda for the shortening Of the Varsity race held under the auspices of the Inter collegiate Rowing Association at Poughkeepsie from four miles to three. The Cornell Faculty has never taken this matter up for serious con sideration before, but at 8 meeting a number of professors suggested that there seemed to be 8 strong sentiment in favor of such a reform
 The matter will be laid before the Board of Stewards of the 1ntercol- legiate Rowing Associatio on.
 Undergraduate Authorities will fol low the lead of Coach Charles E. Courtney in this matter. For many years Courtney has insisted that the three-miIe course was far preferable to the present four-nile course, be- cause it would not require as much time to develop crew for three mile race, and, therefore. the oars men would not have to run the risk of negIecting their studies because. o1 athletics.
 | Courtney has also maintained thai a. three-mi1e race would not be SC hard on the oarsmen themselves. Ht thinks that it would have all the mer. it's of a, four-rnilef race and none o1 the disadvantages.
 Columbia and Pennsylvania, the other members of the association, vii be sounded on the matter.

BIG SOCCER GAME AT AVON TOMORROW W

Tomorrow at Avon park will be
 seen the replayed cup tie game be- tween Bridgeport City and New Ha ven This game was played two weeks ago, the Bridgeport City team winning by to 2; but the New IIa ven team entered a protest on 9. mere
 technical point and so the replay. But
 the home team has not the least fear of the outcome, although they were unlucky last week in losing to An sonia Academies. The smallest bit of luck would have turned the game in
 their favor. Unfortunately for Bridge port they did not have their capta in playing and had to go on the field with two reserves and, although they did good work. they were not like the regular players.
 Fonorrow's game at Avon park will 1 be good as each team expects to win. The home team no doubt will have their regular number of loyal rooters on hand when they kick off at D. m,
 sharp.
 Bridgeport Cityis team will be pick l ed from the following players: Callis,

WORK OF AVERY
 AND MURDOCH IS ' PLEASING TO PENN

Philad deIphia, Pa, Nov. 21-Coach Brooke put the Pennsy squad through a long signal drill yesterday afternoon. and followed that by a short scriTn- mage. The Quaker eleven will have only one more strenuous scrinmage prior to the game with the Cornell eleven here on Thanksgiving Day, and that probably will take place next Tuesday.
 Larry Murdock lined up at quarter again and ran the team in fine style Coach Brooke Is putting special ener- gy in his work with Murdeck. and it is possible that he will be sent in at that position against the Ithaca col legians Merrill also is being tried at ;quarterback. With Avery in at full back in Fuckers place an improve ment to the Red and Blues defensive play is noted. The hero of the Navy game will be the centre of the Pennsy attack on Thanksgiving Day. as Mike can handle the ball in kicking and in passing far better than any other oi the backf1e1d men.

 The satmo osphere at the Stratfield last night savored of the college campus and a good song ringing clear. Seven college track teams were auartered at the hostelry in or der to get an early start for the in tercollegfate cross country run at New Haven this morning. The noble ath- letes .paraded the hotel corridors where all might see and admire and they certainly were the handsome rascals. The teams represented were Princeton, University of Rennsyl- vania, Brown, Cornell, College of the City of New York, Massachusetts Tech. and Dartn nouth.
 The ambition of Holyoke to be a
 member of the Eastern baseball as- sociation again will have the sup port of President O'Rourke of the Eastern circuit. He declares Holyoke is a good baseball town and ought to be a. money maker under proper conditions "Ho1yoke has the pop uIation and the location" declares the president. ''There is a strong natural rivalry with Springfield and I believe that if the right man took hold of the club the people would support him. , The president refused to say whether he favored the transfer Of the Water bury or New Britain franchises to Holyoke. He said he had heard noth- ing since last September from Owner Scinski of the New Britain team.

CARING FOR THE
UNEMPLOYED

The question of caring for the
unemployed during the approach
ing winter is under discussion IN
Chicago. At recent meeting OF
the Municipal Markets Commits
sion some differences of opinion
were developed.
The president of the Board OF
Education said three new school
houses would be built during the
winter. The Commissioner of
Public Works said he would try
to figure out plan to keep the
men employed in the Bureau OF
Streets at work all winter. Prof.
Graham Taylor asserted that the
city could provide work for the
unemployed by carrying on ex7
tensive civic improvements. This
proposal aroused unusual oppo-
sition and brought out the state
ment that while the city was able
to care for its needy population,
| it was overburdened by casual
laborers who drifted into town
from other points with visions
of free lodging houses N d
meals"
This is a situation that has to
be contended with year alter
wear in the cities. The floating
population of the country Is
large - just how large nobody
knows. Those who compose il
can manage to exc out an exist
ence during the summer season
bv working" rural territory and
preying upon the small towns
and villages, but with the ap'
proach of winter they gravitat'
back to the cities. There are nc
soup houses in the country, and
the outdoor life Is anything but
pleasant with the advent of colo
rains and SHOWS.
The cities are heavily taxed by
this rowing class. To supply EN-
ployment for such person:
amounts to little more than
waste of money. Many of thu
nomads are incapable of doing
efficient work, and Others are un
willing except in direct extremi
ty to perform any sort of labor
On general principles cities
should not be burdened with thei
support but they represent a con
: dition that must be dealt with il
some way.
