WILLARD ON TRIAL.
Referee Eyt0n ON Stand Says KNOCK
outs Are Mostly ON Paper.

Referee Eyton ON Stand Says Knock
outs Are Mostly ON Paper.
Los Angeles Jan. 9.-'Virtually all Of
the so-called knockouts are on paper;
prize fighting or boxing IL not brutal
sport." Charles Eyton, referee OF the
Jess Willard-"Bull' Young match. in
which the latter met his death, testified
today in the trial Of Willard and nine
others on q charge Of prize fighting in
violation OF the laws of California.
Eyton testified that boxers did not al
ways try to knock out their opponents
and said Packey Mcfarland was an ex-
ample of a man who seldom won by the
knockout route.
When the prosecution read list Of men
whom Mcfarland was reported to have
knocked out, defending counsel conferred
with Harry Gilmore, once manager for
Mcfarland, and then announced that GIL
more had just told him that he had In
vented most of McFarland's record OF
knockouts to make it look formidable and
to make the boxer q drawing card.
Eyton described the fight by rounds,
saying that he, as well as the spectators,
considered 1t a farce until the eighth
round. when Young became the aggressor.
The blow which knocked out Young, he
said, did not travel more than six inches
and came as . surprise to the spectators.
The Marquis Of Queensberry rules were
introduced as evidence az the rules gov
erning these contests.

President Fultx Of Fraternity
Sending Out Instructions.
Federal League Considered
EQUAL to Other Circuits.


New York, Jan. s.-David L Fults.
president Of the Ball Players fraternity
who returned yesterday from Cincinnati
after a satisfactory conference with the
National commission regarding the
players contracts today. notified all
members Of the fraternity by mail that
they are now free TO sign contracts.
'.This method il necessary" said
Fultz, for the players agreed oris1-
nally to pay no attention to orders
published in the newspapers. If I had
given out statement in Cincinnati
that the players were eligible to sign
many of them probably would not have
accepted the announcement as ofncial.
hence the notifications that are being
mailed as rapidly as possible.
Mr.. Fultz said only players employed
in organized baseball would become
members Of the fraternity but he said
there was nothing in the Organizations
constitution 20 deprive q player Of his
good standing II he signed with an
outlaw club, The fraternity's attitude
towards the Federal League. Fultx de-
clared, was one Of absolute equality.

Change in Football Rules.
Permit Games ON Other Than
College Grounds.

Kansas City. Jan. s.-Uniess the
Missouri Valley conference is willing
to abolish the rule compelling mem-
bers to play all conference games in
college towns. there 10 a possibility of
Kansas university breaking away
from the organization. This was
brought out Thursday at meeting of
members Of the Kansas Alumni as
sociation and the board Of control Of
Kansas colleges, held at the Hotel
Baltimore.
The alumni members argued that
playing the game here makes 1t q
good advertisement for the universt-
ties because of the increase in inter-
est in the game when played here;
that the increased receipts from
games enables the athletic association
to take better care Of the team, such
as maintaining a training table; that
with the present arrangement many
OF the alumni do not get to see the
game at all and some only every other
year. thus causing a loss of interest
IN the game, etc.
Kansas has an idea of breaking with
the conference, but members OF the
alumni are in favor Of such move
II the rule compelling members Of the
organization playing in college towns
e not abolished. They argue that
Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa and possibly
larger western college elevens and
play part Of them in Kansas City, thus
becoming independent Of the confer
ence, Just as Michigan has become in
dependent of the big Nine" and still
give Kansas football followers as good
or much better games than in the
mast.

Committee Issues Statement Concern
ing Cincinnati Meeting.
New York, Jan. 9.-The committee
which represented the Baseball Play
ers' fraternity before the National
commission in Cincinnati this week
has issued a statement expressing sat
tsfaction at the granting OF SO large q
proportion Of their demands and
pleasure at the attitude Of baseballs
highest tribunal toward the players.
The statement reads:
I'VE believe that in the Cincinnati
conference Of Jan. 6, the ball players
won a victory which a year ago could
not have been dreamed of.
Twelve OF our requests were
granted, though modified. and two
withdrawn. Eight or ten Of them
were opposed vigorously, but with the
utmost frankness and good feeling.
I'VE met far more opposition from
the minor league representatives than
from the National commission and
were. therefore. unable to do as much
for our minor league members as we
had hoped. But even as it is. they
will be materially helped.
7s"These representatives we felt were
sincere in their belief that an undue
hardship would be placed upon them
unless some requests were modified
and as we had no disposition to bring
tnlS ABOUT, we waived tne pO1nts.
THE treatment accorded us, except
in the offensive attitude Of one Of the
conferees. was all that we could have
asked. We were met in a fair, cor
dial and dignified manner, which in
view Of the strained relations pre-
viously existing, was gratifying in the
extreme"
The statement was signed by John
p. Henry, Edward M. Reulbach, ia
cob E. Daubert, John M. Miller, Ray
w. Collins and David L. Fultz.

Case in Federal Supreme Court WIN
Be Delayed One Year.
Washington. Jan. s.-Baseball
players and managers must wait a
year or more before getting light
from the supreme court on the much
disputed question in major league cir
cles as to the enforcibility by injunc-
tions Of players contracts The point
has been raised that contracts with
players are not enforcible by injunc-
ton because they contain a clause
giving the managers the right to ter
inmate the contract without giving q
similar right to the players. A case
involving similar questions has been
brought to the court by an oil COM
pany but the tribunal has Just re-
fused a request for an early hearing
Of the controversy. This means the
case will not come up for argument
until next winter too late to affect
baseball contracts the coming season.
How far the decision will be applica-
BILE to baseball will be somewhat
problematical until the difficulty is
announced. The suit was brought
particularly to determine the right of
oil companies to terminate certain
contracts but 1t is maintained by at
torneys for the baseball players in
this that it involves the exact point
raised by the baseball controversy.

MORE COTTON sPINDLEs BUSY.
New Orleans Exchange Report Op-
timistic on Conditions.

The annual report OF Henry g. Hester.
secretary of the New Orleans Cotton ES-
change sheds an interesting light on the
condition OF the cotton crop and trade in
view OF the upset in the market by reason
of the war.
"Of the new crop. only 80, 600 bales have
reached the ports less than ne-eighth OF
the average August marketing of new crop
for the past three years" says Mr.. Hes
ter Hence actual Development OF the
situation as between producers and CON
sumers Vol not fully materialize until
there Is a freer movement of the crop.
The prevailing impression. however, liz
that the pressure ON American spindles to
offset In part the stoppHgcs abroad prom
i-e- domestic consumption for the coming
year largely In excess OF what has ever
yet been recorded.
american mills have had an active
year. Both North and South more cotton
has been consumed. and there was " in
crease Of n'arly 7O0,0o0 in the tosNl OF
active spindles up to the close of July. All
Of the mills, however, did not work to full
capacity, hence there Was room for still
larger consumption
Uncertainty concerning results Of the
European war has eNcrted an unSettling
influence and the mills are now inclined
TO pursue a hand to mouth policy in the
purchase OF raw material The possibility
of buying distressed cotton from the sur
market because Qf the stoppaee of foreign
spindles is n pr5homnating feature. on
the other hand, the August movement
into sight has been the smallest on rec
ord amounting, in round figures, to $1,000
bales. against 427 600 last year and 457,-
600 the year before
THE consumption Of American cotton
OnCluding lntegs) by northern and
Western mills has been 2.625.000 bales.
against 2.6i7. 900 last year
lowing to the war the worlds con
sumption has been Curtpiled by some
thing like 700, 900 or more bales"
Tho total cotton crop OF the United
States for the year ended August 81,
1914. was 14,5SS.591 bales, Mr., Hester
estimates. an increase Of i@l47G bales
over the previous year. In grade tho crop
Is said to have been the poorest siuce

is placed at s957 9Oe a36, against $50
