Newark Club Not to
Invade Brooklyn

NEW YORK, Feb. 1s.-The plan of
organized baseball to place an In
ternational League team in Brooklyn
to compete with the invading FEEDER
al League team was abandoned yes
terday after negotiations between
Presidents Charles H. Ebbets, of the
Brooklyn National League, and
Thomas Fogarty, of the Jersey City
International League clubs, had fail
ed of their purpose
Ebbets 1t was learned, desired to
charge the jersey City team sum,
reported to be $50, 900, for permission
to play in the Newark ball park,
which he controls. Ebbets held that
tn eJersey City players would enjoy
the patronage which last year sup
ported a championship team.
Had the plan been carried out, Eb-
bets intended to transfer the Newark
club, which he owns, to Brooklyn,
playing on the National League
grounds there, while the Jersey City
team would play In Newark. Fogar-
ty, however, refused to meet Ebbets'
terms.

LITTLE ROCK, ARK. Feb. 49,
"If it is true, as claimed by George
Stovall, that Charles Schmidt, the
Mobile catcher, has signed a Federal
League contract then Schmidt will
have to play with the Federal League
next season; the Southern League
will not have him." said President
w. M. Kavanaugh, of the Southern
League, last night.
IF q man is of the class that he
does not regard a contract with the
Southern League as binding, then he
is welcome to CO."
Schmidt 1t Is stated, has accepted
terms offered by the Kansas City
Federal League club.

~ IJR old friend, Carl Thompson,
was up in baseball headquar-
tiers yesterday afternoon, and
he was regretting that the way
things look just now he won't be
able to do something he wants to do.
That something is to play ball with
the Crackers the coming season.
Here's the way of it, with the hope
that it gets Strengthened out so Carl
can be in our midst when the flag
drops.
stT'M willing to admit that made
mistake in saying last fall
that 1 didn't expect to play ball
again." Carl said, Il was absolutely
i'll earnest at the time. Now / feel
differently about it, and I want TO
play ball here in Atlanta"
So when President Farrell of the
Yankees, sent Carl his contract just
a month ago, Carl wrote him and
requested very eourteously that he
be permitted to play another season
with the Atlanta club.
sT TOLD Mr. Farrell that felt sure
another years seasoning would
make me much more useful to his
club" Carl said, "and asked him as
a favor to let me play with Atlanta"
Mr.. Farrell didn't reply, and. lit
tie over a week ago, Carl wrote him
again. He is now waiting for an an
swer, and hoping it will be for the
best.
But it looks like rather a forlorl
hope" he said. Mr.. Galloway tells
me he saw Arthur Irwin when he
was in New York recently. and the
Yankees scout was positive that
was scheduled to work for Farrell"
Still, Carl is hoping, and the At
lanta management is hoping. Tor
with Carl on the slab staff, with
Price and Dent, there would he
mighty little picking over left to do
before the flag dropped.

MILLIONS OF TONS OF SODA
Natural Deposits in British East Al. rica Form an Almost Inexhaust-
 ible Supply.

The railroad builders in British East Africa have just completed a branch from the main Uganda line to the shores of Lake Mogadi, where there is a marvellous soda deposit. Normally this strange lake appears as if 1t had frozen and snow had fallen, and that the snow had then partially thawed and frozen solid again. The heat is extreme. The soda burns the feet through the boots and the crystalline spikes, which look like hoarfrost, will pierce any but the thickest sole. After the rains there is layer of water over the greater part of the lake, which turns a lovely pink color, giving the whole a wonderfully beautiful appearance. By moonlight the scene is most weird and never to be forgotten. It is estimated that the lake contains at least 200,000,000 tons of crystal line substances composed almost equally of carbonate and bicarbonate of soda in the natural state, and con- tinually fed by surface and under ground streams of saturated soda liquor. It is intended to begin tap ping this inexhaustible store of wealth immediately.

IMMIGRATION BILL SURE or ENACTMENT.

It is very evident that the new Immigration Bill will become a law in the near future. The bill has passed the House by a vote of 252 to 126 and will pass the Senate by about 5 to l so that if President Wilson should veto the bill, Con- gross will then pass it over his head. It is well known that Pres ident Taft vetoed the bill at the suggestion of Cardinal Gibbons. who is bitterly opposed to the bill, as it will keep his Catholic brethren from coming over here It is not believed, however, that President Wilson will take orders from any ecclesiastical prelate or anyone else but his own good sense and good judgement. The inglorious end and political extinction of President Taft should be a warning to Presi- dent Wilson.
