NATIONAL
 MOCULS TALK
 ABOUT SWAPS

New York, Dec. S-Judging from the friendship displayed by the various National League nagnates there seems to be nothing but peace and harmony ins the old major league,
 All eight of the National League managers were in attendance at yes terdays meeting, but no trading was done. There were plenty of. rumors and several deals are likely To break before the week is over. Thomas and Bresnahan of the Cubs had sevefSI conferences with Owner Britton and Miller Higgins of. the Cardinals, by which the St. Louis club tried to get Leach, but sBresnahan would not say what the Cards had offered him for the veteran outf1elder. It is hinted Leach will hop to the Feds unless he is trad ed.
 bert away from Phila delphia and has offered Stock, Fromlne and some youngsters for the crack third base man, according to report, while Pat Moran of the Phillies is desirous Of landing ~Heinie ZinIn of the Cubs to play second base for him. He has offered Sherwood Magee for Zimrn. The Reds, want Bill Sweeney of the Cubs to play first base for them and it is said they can have Bill for the waiver price. Sweeney is a Cincinnati lad, and home surroundings may help to find his old batting eye.
 Charley Dooin and President Baker of the PhiI1ies are having a. lot of fun, land. last Saturday, Charley gave his former boss ten days notice of his de- sire to leave the employment of the Phi1s. This was the regular procedure used by Chase, Marsans, ct al, before 1eaping to the Feds; but Charley says the FederaIs have not made him an of- fer He still is hopeful of landing in New York or Boston.
 George Sta1lings of the Braves, is
 willing to give Dooin a job if his de- mands are not unreasonable. T would like to have Charley on my club,'' said StalLngs, tsbut some of these retired p1ayer-managers have strange views of their worth
 ''I cannot see how can consent to give Dooin his unconditional release said Baker He is the property or the club and is still a good catcher
 Stal1ings, of course, could not deal with the former Philadelphia manag- CT, unless Baker issued his consent, and while Big George expressed him. self as willing to take Dooin if he was a free agent, he is unwilling to offer any players in a trade.

MARIAN ON
 DIET GREAT
 PART OF YEAR

Boston. Dec S-Eddie Mahan, cap tain of Harvard's 1915 football team, lis enjoying an unbridIed diet in these few days between the close of the #gridiron season and the opening of the indoor track season. During the whole college year while DGahan IS at Har-, ward he has less than a month when he does not live on restricted bill or fare, for the remainder of the time he is on training table, with only foodstuffs to consume. That is the lot that befalls any aIl- round athlete.
 - Therefore within the next few weeks ATahan must get all the pie, cake and coffee that he wants in his system, for before Merry Christmas comes he will again be casting aside harmful foods and living on eggs, chicken. milk and oranges
 Captain Mahan is the greatest all- star performer who has been at liar ward in many a decade He plays football of course. Everybody knows that. Then in the winter months when the indoor track meets are held among the colleges, he is a member of the Harvard varsity relay team.
 Early in the spring while the F'ebru- ary winds are still biting, he goes into the baseball cage to get in shape for and later, when the out-of-door track season comes he splits his time by training for the 10o-yard dash. And after the athlete has gone through these training stunts he has nothing more to do except to keep up in his college courses5which he does very successfully.
 During the various athletic seasons at Harvard, Afahan is on the training table, for Harvard supervises the menu of her athletes very carefully, and only food that will tend to build them up is given. Therefore training tables are set at the Varsity club in Cam
 bridge, whtther go the athletes three times a day for their meals.
 In the morning it is eggs, cereals, grapefruit and milk for breakfast. At noon they get a rather light lunch, and in the evening chicken, roast beef or steak is served, along with fruit and nuts. The care of athletes does not end with the supervision of foodstuffs, however, for the men who represent the university on the athletic teams must also get to bed each evening at reasonable hours. Thus they have no
 time to waste, for besides taking the regular training for whatever branch of athletics they are competing in, they must also keep up in their college work =

JOE MANDOT AND
 KlLBANE IN DRAW

Akron. O.. Dec. s-A draw was the verdict in the 12 round bout between Champion Johnny HIbane and Joe Mandot last night.
 Mandot was unmarked at the end of the fight. In the first two rounds Ki1bane landed oftener, but in the other ten, with the possible exception of the eighth. Mandot landed as often, if not oftener than the feather weight champion. In a clinch in the tenth round Kilbane received a, cut over the right eye.
 The last two rounds were very fast but KiIbane's swings often went wild% The twelfth round was rough. Both men fell to the floor several times in clinc1es. Mandot appeared the fresher at the end of the bout.

FEDERALs SCORED BY SIGNING R. MARQUABD
 AND WALTER JOHNSON

New York, Dec S-Organied base ball and the Federal League will have it's fercest 'set-to right here in this State as a result of the datest raid by the so-caIled outlaws that have landed "Rube', Marquard with ths Wards Brooklyn club. The Giants ara going to fight AIarquard's alleged breach of contract tooth and nail They insist that MarQuard will never be able to don a Tip Top uniform if to uphold the validity of business con tracts They even say that tRubes desertion is welcome development as it will favor the major leagues with an excellent opportunity for testins the law regarding contracts and de- terrnine for all time how far ball play CTS may go in casting aside their al- legged obligations.
 By Jumping to the local Federal League club the Giants star left handeEif he may be still termed star after last seasons disastrous re- cord-has done more to bring the Federal League problem home to New York than any other single happening since Ehe Wards determined to start a club in Brooklyn. Last year the Wards encroaehed on the preserves ef the two rival clubs in this city only tq the extent of signing up Claude Coop CT, a. sub outfielder of the Giants The Marquard incident is, therefore the first instance Of their desire to lure away veteran stars, and it opens the way for further raids. By this act the Wards have thrown down the gauntlet in home territory evidently with 9 view of pressing the campaign to the limit.
 As far as losing a valuable star of the pitching staff is concerned the de sertion of Marquard can hardly be reckoned as serious. The sRube's' ez- ceedingly poor work in the latter part of the 1914 season was more of a fac tor than anything else ia the Giants failure to win the pennant. Next year he may return to his old time form and if he does he will be mighty valuable asset to the Brookfeds. But it cannot be denied that his pronain- ence in the baseball world makes him a. big attraction for the team he has joined. Marquard is one of the most talked of pitchers in the game and his name is a lure to fans He will u17= doubted1y draw support to the Tip= Tops.
 BeIttling Marquard now that he has cast his lot with the other side may prove a popular pastime with organized baseball, but the major league chiefs realize that the Feds Johnson both being entieed away from the older leagues, in twenty-folF hours is a fairly neat coup on the part of Gilmore & Go.
 The loss of Johnson is a body blow It means that the majors have not only parted with one of the greatest pitchers that ever played the game, but drawing card of tremendous value as well. The big right=hanoLe with his dazzling speed and his skill of moving down opposing batsIlaers attracted vast attention to the Wash ington club which it would not.-other- wise receive. The Feds have surely scored. It is absurd to figure 1t any other way.

Too Much Government

One of our good friends down
in Texas sends us copy of the
Dallas Democrat containing an
editorial article on the railroads.
The Democrat asserts that "only
the train crew should ride free';
that "no railroad president, sup
erintendent, manager, agent or
other employee should ride free;
each should pay his fare." 1t
seems that tins is carrying the
anti-pass crusade to an absurdity.
1t is such crusading as this that
causes the earnest patriot to
doubt the SANITY of pure de-
mocracy (; to doubt its longevity.
For the editor of the Democrat
IS yoiclng public opinion 4 he re-
echoes sentiment thatis largely
in the majority in this country.
The spectacle OF a railroad sup
erintendent buying ticket that
would entitle him to ride on
train that was taking him out
on the line to clear up wreck
certainly wonld be unique. Or,
the company's doctor, going out
to patch up the injured, buying
his ticket. While the money in
all such instances could be prop
erly accounted for without loss,
it nevertheless is true that one
of the principal things ailIng the
railroads at the present time is
the complicated systems of book
keeping which the National and
State law compel them to main
tain, The real hurt is II gill decp-
