Charles p. himself. Quite the contrary
lie is a serious-Ininded man of big af-

Gus reasons which it considers sufficient.
4 meeting has been called of the board
of directors Saturday at Cincinnati. Why
select Cincinnati? Simply because Presi-
dent Tener wished to have Mr.. Taft hear
the deliberations and give him every
chance to protect his own interests 1t
WAS not believed that Mi. Taft could be
induced I" come here for a meeting, so
they moved the mountain over to Ma
homet. And SO it was at least odd that
about the time President Tener left the
Waldorf Astoria Mr.. Taft inscribed his
name in the guest book at the Hotel Nc
Alpin. next door.
Mr. Taft answered three leading ques-
tions. He stated thai his present "trip
had nothing to do with base bail that he
had not seen Mr.. Tener and that in all
probability he would be back in Cincin-
natl for the meeting Saturday.
Mr.. Taft absolutely refused to say
in his present extremity. And there is no
known law against his meeting with
Tener and other base ball magnates here
today or tomorrow.

BROOKLYN FEDS IN BAD.
Leased Field Is Being Used as a
Dump for Snow.

NEW YORK. February 19-Great was
the surprise of the Federal League
Wards-Robert b.. the Brooklyn club S
backer. and John Montgomery, business
manaser-when they visited Washington
Park yesterday. The playing surface Of
the old home of the Dodgers was many
feet higher above sea level than usual
and a long line of trucks was helping
to alter further the topography of the
place. To be exact, the Wards found
that the place they leased for ball park
was being used as a dump by a con-
tractor removing snow from Brooklyn
streets. The man in charge of the work
flashed contract from the Litchf1eld
estate authorizing such use of the prop
erty. With a good warm sun the snow
SO deposited may melt some time along
in July.
Robert B. Ward also dropped a remark
that may cause President Gilmore Of the
Federals several sleepless nights. 1t was
the innocuous statement that the Brook
lyn Feds would not be allowed to play
Sunday ball long as he was connected
with them. Sunday is base balls biggest
day in the western end of the circuit, the
day relied upon by managers to pay ex-
penses when the financial gloom of poor
weekday attendance hits the box office.

an exceptionally good performer on the

the regular positions. His work with
Colgate in 1918 was such as to almost
guarantee him a place on any nine in

I the Colgate players, Croker is especially
mentioned in the college base ball

to make strong what looked like rather

pendable man left from the staff of the

Ices of enough capable hurlers to justify
predictions as to Its success. Such is
not likely to be true. however. the prob
