But Are Forced to Take
Small End of TWenty-0ne to
none Score.
RESULTS YESTERDAY.
Juniors, 21; Freshmen. %.

The juniors climbed 10 the top rung
Of the high school inter-class football
ladder yesterday afternoon at Beeper
field. when they used the freshies as
rungs and mounted them TO the tune
of p to 0.
The freshmen put up a game fight
and the battle was one or the prettiest
yet seen in the tournament. In the
second half, the first yearites played
their strong game. and gained con-
sistently on line plunging and forward
passing. ON several occasions the
freshmen carried the ball TO within 10
yards of the junior goal but each time
lost it on a tumble, or were unable to
shove it over Andrus. who dropped
q pretty field goal against the sophie
mOres, tried the stunt twice yesterday
but without success. Capt MOhn and
Andrus played stellar games for their
team.
a whirlwind attack on the part of
the juniors in the first half won the
battle for them, as the freshmen had
the edge on them during the second
part of the engagement.
BY a combination Of bucking, pass
ing and intercepted passes, the third
year men were able 10 score three
times on the freshies Sweeney at
fullback made two of the scores, by
his stellar line bucking. while Yost
intercepted a pass and ran for the
other score. Sweeney kicked the
goals.
Their victory yesterday practically
assures the juniors the title or the
chance TO play for it in a post-season
game If the sOphOmOres can win
their two remaining games, from the
seniors and juniors, the seniors
trounce the sophs and freshies these
teams will have a chance TO tie the
leaders. One of these two teams will

NOTRE DAME IS
BATTLING ARMY
Men Who Made Such a Strong
Showing Last Year, Are Now
Unable to Appear-WeSt
Point Has Many Recruits.

Notre Dame is playing its second
eastern game for the season this aft
arnoon. Fans at the university are
receiving accounts of the game at the
end of every quarter. The three men
who attracted so much attention in
the east last year will be unable to ap-
pear together in the fray today. They
are Eickenlaub, Finegan and Jones
Jones will be the only man to begin
the contest.
The loss Of Finegan will be great
one for the local team as Coach Har-
per stated before leaving for the east
that Sam was the most valuable man
on the team. He is not only a great
general but also one of the best half
backs / have ever seen" said the
coach.
Eichenlaub, the idol Of the Notre
Dame fans. who is conceded to be
the all western star fullback, and
whom many believe has a good show
ing for all American hOnors, Will not
enter the game today. unless it is alb
solutely necessary.
Capt. Jones will be the only one of
the three TO enter the fray. He is a
man OF the Finegan type, and ac-
man for his weight (16S pOunds) that
ne has ever had. Fans at NOtre
Dame hope TO see the three veterans
in Chicago when Notre Dame meets
the husky Carlisle Indian team next
Saturday.
With her seven coaches. the Army
team is in good condition TO meet
Notre Dame. according 10 eastern re-
ports. The army coaches are all
mindful OF last years defeat at the
hands OF Notre Dame and have used
every effort 10 put their men in the
best Of condition for the game today.
Notre Dame coaches are not SO sure
about Notre Danes strength, but
promise the fans a lively contest.
Harper said that the Army had the
advantage Of having SO men on the
squad while Notre Dame only took -
men on the trip. II the 50 men can
not hold the western team. the Army
has 500 good recruits to take their
places.

signs OF an argument disturbed the

At least that was the report OF the
( meeting as told by the magnates. They

was full OF harmony. The following
results Of the elaboration was given
/ out.
/ The board Of directors for the 1915

dents OF the Chicago. Cleveland New
York and Boston clubs.
Charles Somers OF the Cleveland
club. was reelected vice president Of
the league for another year.
The magnates discussed the advisa-
bility Of cutting the player limit from
% 10 20 players. This will be defin-
itely settled at the spring meeting OF
the league.
A reduction in the prices charged
at world series games was discussed.
| That matter also was left for settle
ment ar the spring gathering.
A set of resolutions was adopted on
the death Of the veteran umpire, Jack
sheridan.
The rule relative to changing the
player list from 25 TO 20 shows that
the American league will not be top
heavy" with athletes next season.
During 1914 some Of the teams had as
many as 35 men in the playing squad
throughout the season. The appear
ance of the Federal league was respon-
Sible for the clubs carrying the 'eX-
cess baggage" but the American
leaguevs say the Federals have done
all damage possible.
The fight expected TO arise over the
New York situation, wherein, II was
figured Frank Farrell would be asked
10 sell the Yankee belongings, failed
TO materialize. The moguls declared
that Farrell and the Yankees were not
even discussed.
1t may be that the trouble existing
in New York has been adjusted. II
not, Ban Johnson very likely will han
die the situation alone. He Is capable
with dealing with such situations, as
was shown when he prevailed upon
Joseph Lannin 10 purchase the ma
jority stock in the Boston American
league club.
Despite the statements OF the league

the rumor would not die that they had
made the Federals proposition.
Owner Weeghman of the local FEEDER
al league club was asked about IL and
he lodged the question By saying he
could answer both yes" and no"
The American league claimed all
along that II would refuse TO recognize
the Federal as major organization
If any agreement is TO be reached and
the chances appear TO be against such.

MONDAYS PRIMARY ENDS
 LONG SIEGE OF POLITICS

For Commissioner of Agriculture-A. A. Persons and J. W. Wade.
 For Attorney General-H. L. Martin and D. IT. Riddle.
 There is every reason to believe that the contest in which MT. Conner and MT. Henderson are engaged will be featured by close and exciting finish. Mir Per sons and MT. Martin are generally thought sto be the stronger in their respective races.
 In the Eighth district the people will settle the contest for the congressional plum left without an owner when Will liam Richardson died The candidates are Judge E. B. Almon and w. W. Cal lahan. In the first primary Judge AL mon lacked only Al votes of receiving majority. While the friends of MT. Callahan are apparently confident, 1t Is the general impression that Judge AL mon will win.
 Tn about 15 counties county officials will be nominated. Tn these counties on April 6, in certain contests, no man received a majority vote.
 On Tuesday, however, Alabama will sigh long sigh of relief. Everybody apparently is tired of politics.

 INSURANCE RATE

matum to the effect that the old buildings and fire risk conditions in all parts of the city would have to be improved or they would either withdraw from the Birmingham district or reduce the classi- ficaton here. which means an increase in rates Local insurance men and busi- ness and civic organizations got together and claimed to have cleaned up the town and condemned certain buildings unless they were improved. The fire insurance men withdrew and nothing has been heard of them within the last 10 or 12 months.
 When news and particulars of the Bir- mingham Railway. Light and Power companys fire reached the underwriters association headquarters. however. it is reported that they began to wonder if things in Birmingham were not still pretty bad, and Engineer Schoen was im- mediately ordered here to investigate. Now local men are wondering what will happen If Schoen and his assistants find what they think a stiIl too large a fire hazard in this city. It Is predicted that when he reports to headquarters the un- derwriters will barley no longer and give no time. as they did before. but will either reduce Birmingham to class R and in- crease the rates or withdraw from the Birmingham district, as they had threat ened before.
 something over 100 fire insurance ex- perts being here, they reported that the fire hazard in Birmingham was one of the greatest in the United States that the companies losses m this city were greater than anywhere else, and that something had to be done here and done quick.
