STILL HOPING FOR TINKER.
Ehbets Declares the ShortstoP Belongs
 To Brooklyn.

According to what appeared to be well founded rumor President Charles H. Ebbets of the Brooklyn National league club has began pre- liminary steps toward having Joe Tinker enjoined from appearing with the Chicago Federal league club.
 MT EbDets has admitted that he had been in consultation with 8 leading law firm of New York and that the nature of his business was so very pressing that he was half an hour late for the ball game between the New York and Brooklyn clubs. He refused however, to discuss the nature of his business or to admit that he proposed to go to law over Tinker.
 T have declared all along that considered Joe Tinker the property of the Brooklyn club.' said MT. Eb- bets. T shall still continue to re- gard him so until he has actually talk en part in games with the outlaw lea que. I have said repeatedly that l did not think he would play with the Brooklyn Federals and I have not changed my mind. I do not mean by this that I have decided to take my case to the law courts. I simply have nothing to say on the Tinker situation at the present time. There may be something later"
 President Ebbets declared last win ter that Tinker would never be allow ed to play with any club other thar Brooklyn if he was forced to go broke in fighting the case. He plainly show ed that his attitude of belligrance Is
 unchanged from time he first learned of Tinker's desertion
 Now is the time for organized
 baseball to fight" said MT. Ebbets Personally I think our contracts vii stand the test of the law courts ant | I have advocated a legal test iron l the first. I consider Joe Tinker my property through the right of re. | serve. I am not saying I will hgh l for him in the courts. But I shal not tamely submit to his loss"

Baseball at the Academy opens this afternoon when the school boys lineup against the Dingbats made up of for mer N F. A. stars, and will prove to be one of the heaviest hitting teams that they will play against this sea son. Simcox will probably do the twirling for the Dingbats and Bunk Walsh will do the receiving act. The infieId will be composed of J. Grove, Mccormick, Houlihan and Mckay and the gardens will be taken care of by Standish, Cooper and Fletcher.
 Captain Stanley and Coach Overbagh have been hard at work during the past week in getting the team into condition. Judging from the showing that the candidates have made in the past week, the school ought to be rep resented this year by a fast team. combinations and will be the mainstay of the team
 The outfield is a veteran one with the exception of right field, which is undecided and as it stands now it is between H. Hull and Hughes, the for mer All Star captain.
 All three pitchers will be used in the game and Brickley will probably start. Markie was expected to get a try but late Friday afternoon he received an injury that will keep him out of the game for a few days.
 Manager Leany reports CI1dI the sea son tickets are selling fast and that a large delegation of students will be on hand today to aid their team with necessary cheers. This game will af- ford the first opportunity for the base ball enthusiasts to pass judgment on the merits of the team.
 The lineup that will start the game for the Academy is the following:

In The Motorcycle World

One of the motoring problems most urgently in need of solution at the present time is that of the glaring headlight. AS the speed of motor cars has increased so have the power and efficiency of the lighting system inn proved A light may be so strong that the whole road is illuminated for several hundred yards, every object being bathed in 8 flood of brilliant white light.
 With such lamps it is often safe to drive at high speed, and owing to the absence of continuous traffic in realty a good deal safer than it would be in daylight. Yet this very excellence forms the chief drawback to the mod ern headlight
 There are few situations more par alyzing to the traveller of any descrip- ton than meeting a motor car with powerful headlights. All that Is Visi- ble to him Is a pair of -scorching white discs set in impenetrable dark ness. Anything that may be on either side of or behind those lights is abso- lutely invisible.
 If the road be unusually wide; if the car keeps well to it's own side, and if the lamps are set reasonably close together. he has some chance of fore seeing calamity
 It is on the winding roads that the danger is greatest. Apart from the discomfort to human beings, there is the risk attendant upon meeting res tive horses. The dazzling beams of a big headlight, even at a distance of 200 yards, may well upset the com posture of the best-behaved animal. At fifty yards. suddenly encountered round a hedged or walked corner, they are only too likely to cause a catastrophe.
 If low Illuminating sctandard were set by law matters would by no means be improved. It is quite as import ant that the sides of the road for fifty or a hundred yards ahead be in clear view as that the center of the road should be visible a quarter or half a mile ahead. The driver of the care should be able to see as well as possible.
 If electric lights were the universal method of Illuminating 1t might be pos sible, in time, to establish an unwrit- ten rule of the road that upon meet ing other travellers the headlights should be switched off until the meet ing vehicles had passed. Unfortun- ately, it Is seldom possible to tuurn down acetylene gas lamps at will, and on the roads as of the more conven- lent electric seystems.
 The only practical solution which presents itseh is that of incorporating some form of glare subduer in the construction of the lamp itself. One or two firms of lampmakefs have in- treduced devices from time to time, but their adoption does not seem to have become general.
 Some motorists have had experience with one of these devices, a lamp in which horizontal metal slate with their upper surfaces coated dead black and

KILLIFER JUMPED FEDS
 CONTRACT FOR S666
President Gilmore Makee the Figure
 Public,

An offer of an increase in salary of s666 a year was the reason why Will jam Killifer, the baseball catcher, jumped back to the Phillies after hav- ing signed Federal League contract. according to g. statement today by James A. Gilmore.
 The difference of s666 and the break ing of the Federal Leaguue contract led to the first decisive legal fight be- tween organized baseball and the new league, which has asked the Federal Court at Grand Rapids, Mich. to en- join Kiliifer from playing with the Philadelphia club.
 Gilmore said Killifer's contract with the Federal League called for the pay ment of 1T,500 for three years. The contract Killifer later signed with the Philadelphia club called for the pay ment of $19.500 for a like period, g difference of $666 a year, according tc MT. Gilmore.

Feds Lookinq for Future.

Some of the star players of organ ized baseball who were already signed up to contracts or a term of one year when the Federal league began its activities last winter have been ap- preached by the agents of the new league to talk terms for 1915.
 Among these is Larry Doyle, the captain of the Giants, who was re- centy offered some advance money if he would agree to join out with the new crowd next year after his pres ent contract expires. The .Federals are also hot after the recruits who were taken to the spring camps by the teams of organized baseball and failed to show class enough to be car ried throughout the season.

Grand Rapids, Mich, April 10.-The old reserve clause in the contracts of organized baseball players was held to be invalid and unenforceable in a decision handed down today by Federal Judge Clarence w Sessions denying the application of the Chicago Federal league club for an Injunction to restrain Catcher William killifer, Jr., from playing with the Philadel- phia National league club. Contracts of such nature were held by Judge Sessions to be lacking in the neces- sary qualities of definiteness, certainty and mutuality.''
 "A contract exists" said the de- cision, but if broken by either party the other is remedyIess because the courts are helpless to enforce it's per formance or to award damages for it's breach"
