world" as they characterized it, the
trustees of the Rockefeller FOunda-
ton today announced Inauguration
of an investigation into the problem
of industrial relations and the ap-
pointment of Hon. w. L. Mackenzie
King, former minister Of labor for
Canada, as its director.
In method, the investigation is to
be carried on after the manner Of the
institute for medical research. The
root of the social disorder, which the
foundation acknowledges exists to-
day, is, it is stated, to be probed to
the bottom, systematically and scien-
tifically.
It will be sought to disclose the
cause of the bitter enmities and de-
structiVe tendencies" between capital
and labor and to find means of pro-
noting harmonious, united action be-
tween the two great bodies.
In announcing the investigation,
the foundation says:
In facing the problem, the Rookie
teller Foundation is deliberately at
tempting to grapple with what it be-
Heves to be the most complicated and
at the same time the most urgent
question of modern times and it is
for this reason that the investigation
has been started.
"The foundation is not baffled by
the knowledge that the task has
seemed hitherto well. nigh hopeless
and that the literature on the subject
is so vast as to be overwhelming.
There may be reasons for patient ap-
preach of the subject, but no reason
for inaction
"In going into another country
and selecting as the person to have
direction of this most important
work, one whose public services have
gained for him an outstanding posi-
ton as leading authority on indus
trial problems, the trustees have
shown their desire, not only to free

OUTLAWS WILL AIM
At OLDER LEAGUE

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-THE war of the
Federals against organized baseball is
to be aimed chiefly at the National
League.
James a. Gilmore. president OF the
outlaws, said today: Ban Johnson is
a man l honor and respect. We ap-
preciate what he, has done for baseball,
and We are going to strive to keep the
game at the same level or higher in our
league. l am glad that the American
League has put the whole question of
our activities into his HAMS"
He also expressed high regard for
Charles COmiskey. the president OF the
White SoX. Although he added that his
organization was after players from
either the National League or the
American League, Mr.. Gilmore inti-
mated that in Chicago the Cubs would
be the target.
The case against KiIlifer, of the Phil
lies. and Kirkpatrick. of Brooklyn, who
are claimed by both the National
League and the outlaws, will be brought
into court within ten days, according to
Mr.. Gilmore. He said that Joe Tinker
had been summoned to New York to
sign up few players.
Several stories current about the out
laws were denied by Mr.. Gilmore. He
declared that Charles Weeghman, who
has been reported to be behind severa
clubs in the Federal League, owned no
stock in any club but Chicago. He
also repeated his denial that the new
league would try to find q foothold in
New York this wear.

Keen Rivalry Exists Between
Two Schools and 1t Will Be
Decided on Track

BALTIMORE, Nd, Feb. 12.-Cniver-
sity of Virginia and Johns Hopkins will
run a mile relay at the joint indoor
meet OF the Fifth Regiment and Johns
Hopkins University. at the armory Sat-
urday night. as a Climax to what is ex-
pected to be the greatest set of indoor
games that has ever been held south OF
New York.
The sport-loving public in this section
of the country who follow sporting
events closely know of the keen rivalry
that has existed in track and field ath-
Iet:cs between Hopkins and Virginia for
q decade and Will remember the series
OF dual events between these institu-
tions in the past, where the fight has
been nip and tuck, with no advantages
in favor Of either.
Those who attended the games last
year and Witnessed the race between
Hopkins and Virginia, in which the for
mer institution Won by the margin OF
about yard. know the Caliber of the
cams at that time and of the intense
struggle that the members OF The teams
waged for the victory.
They also will remember the work Of
McDonagh. Catlin, Lloyd, and Wells,
each one of whom ran as he had never
run before, and also the bitter fight
which each member OF the Orange and
given by McDonagh to his teammate
on the first lap.
When the fact that both of the teams
are much better than last year is
taken into consideration, 1t Is easily
seen this event will outclaSs any other
OF the meet. Lloyd, who made a rec
ord indoors and outdoors last season.

miller ever turned out at Hopkins, will

meets ran the distance in so seconds and
established himself as the best quarter
miller in this section. Catlin, the sturdy
little athlete whose race against Wylie
Cooke. of Virginia, brought forth
cheers of admiration from the spec
tatOrs crowding the hall. viii be an
other member of the team.
Groover, the former Washington and
Lee runner, and member OF the Hop
kins relay team, which last year won
its race at the University of Pennsyl-
vania relays, and Uhler, winner of the
half mile in the South Atlantic cham
piOnships at Homewood last spring. Will
contest for the other places on the
team, while Wagner, whose fame as a
consistent performer in the 100. 90 and
40 has been an established fact for sew
eral years, also will be Il member OF the
Black and Blue quartet.
Those who have seen the Hopkins re-
lay team in action this year pronounce
il the best that has been seen in these
parts for many a year and although the
team that ran Virginia last year es-
tablished a record for the distance for
the South Atlantic section, it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that this record will
even he bettered.
Reports from Charlottesville are TO

will be outclassed, and that the Orange

all sides by West Side fans today fol-
lowing the news from New York that
John Evers has been disposed as man

There was no inclination noticeable on
the part Of the fans 10 discuss Hank
O'Day. except to extend sympathy for
the successor of Evers.
Hotel lUbbies, billiard rooms, office
buildings and the city hall were visited
and the voice Of the fans swept forth
in a storm of disapproval that was con-
vincing. Not one word of praise for the
Cubs boss in his summary action in
depcsng Evers was heard.
Murphy must be working for the

he always had been an admirer OF
EVers.
We'll, he couldn't have done a better
turn Gor the outlaws" was the retort
OF another.
