FEDERALS ADOPTED SCHEDULE
After Two Sessions the Schedule Was Draed-Apply For Injunction to Stop Pitcher Banding From Paving President Gilmore Announced That the Pennant Win Will Challenge the Other League For World Cham pionship.

Baltimore March 25.--The playing schedule of the Federal league of base ball clubs was adopted tonight at a meeting here of the officials of the league. The schedule was drafted in it's entirety after two sessions were held. It was announced that some minor changes may be made that would entail an extra session tomorrow and that the schedule probably would be given out the latter part of tn $ week.
 The most important business al tho meeting, other than the drafting of the schedule, was the determi nation to Pitcher Blsnding from playing with the Cleveland American league club. President Gilmore telegraphed E. E. Gates of Indianapolis, counsel for the league, instructing him to apply for tho injunction at Grand Rapids, Mich, Banding being resident of Michigan. Blanding, who played with the Cleve- land Americans last year, signed With the Kansas City Federals, but later re- joined Cleveland.
 Vice President Mullen of the Buffalo club said today that Pitcher Kahler of last years Cleveland team, wno re- turned to Cleveland after having sign ed a contract with the Buffalo Feder- als. would play in Buffalo or rot at ali
 President Gilmore announced that league will issue a challeng3 to the winners in the National and American leagues to play for the championship o fthe world.
 If either of the successful clubs in those two leagues refuses to meet our leaders" he added, we will claim the by default.

FOOTBALL MAKES MORE
 MONEY THAN OTHER SPORTS.
Baseball and Other Athletic Games
 Make Little Money,

The recent publication of the va- rious college athletic associations an- nual financial statement brings vivid ly to mind again the large sums of money received and expended in the course of a year for the support of varsity sport. These reports also point with unerring aim to the sports and competitions which, because of popular favor and attraction. not only pay for themselves. but carry the bur den of others wherein the expedi- lures are far in excess of all receipts and subscriptions.
 Some years ago, during the period when football was subjected to a bit ter attack. a famous defender of the game declared boldly that football despite all the sins charged against 1t. made possible all the college sports which the reformers were constantly comparing with the gridiron game, much to the latter's deTiment That there has been little change in the sit uation in recent seasons is clearly evf- denced by these current athletic as sociation financial reports. Football is still the big money maker and the sport that supplies the funds for the support of a majority of the other athletic teams each year.

CORBETT COMMENTS
 ON RITCHIE'S VICTORY.

More than week has rolled by since Willie Ritchie and Ad Wolgast met in Milwaukee. but their battle is still the principal topic among sport ing men, says James J. Corbett. Even Ritchies hardest knockerS-and a champion pugiHst always has plenty admit that the Californian never dis appoints a crowd when he is in the ring. Willie can always be depended upon to put up an interesting battle and, given willing opponent of the Wolgast stripe. the spectators are sure to enjoy a f1Stic treat. WolgaSt enter ed the ring in Milwaukee last week trained to the minute.
 Wolgast's reward for his excellent showing will probably be a longer match with the champion. That he is entitled to it there can be no question But he is fortunate that such an obliging person as Ritchie is seated Ritchie was inclined to give Ad a dose of the same kind of medicine the latter treated Nelson to, where would Adolph get off?
 However, I am not one who thinks Ad will defeat the champion if they come together in a 20-round bout. Tn fact, I think exactly the opposite. chance he will have. Ritchie begins slowly and gets better as bout pro- gresSes. and if Ad couldn't hold him even for 10 rounds 1t would seem that 20 rounds would spell defeat for him. In the match with Leach CrosS-a dan gerous man, too-the champion was going very strong at the finish, and unprejudiced eye witnesses of the Mil waukee affair have informed me that he was strong as 8 bull when the bell rang for the end of the 10 round set-to with Wolgast.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
NEW HAVEN ADVANCES.
Whole List Feels Effect of an Upward
 Movement.

New York, March 23.-An uneven course was pursued by the stock mar ket today, but at the close prices were well above last weeks final range. The session was enlfyened occasionally by brief periods of active speculation, al though most of the time the market lay quiet, with dealings restricted ill great part to operations of professional traders The governing influence in the movement was the strong technical position which evidently had not been impaired by extensive covering last week. It was this condition which made it possible to mark up stocks with & comparatively small amount of buying and which defeated efforts of the shorts to depress prices.
 Strength was displayed atehe open ing. New Haven began the day l 1-4 higher. influenced by the announce ment of a settlement in the negotia- tions for dissolution of the system. The settlement was deprived of much of it's force as a market factor. how ever, by the authoritative news from Washington last week that an agree ment was near at hand. and the stock quickly lost its advantage. Bearish traders made g. concerted attack and the list surrendered the opening gains. which in some cases amounted to Q point But the decline failed to bring out stocks, and the market rested around Saturdays closing level until the afternoon, when anOtflef dQVanCe was begun.
 The Hill stocks led the uptuFn, on which Northern Pacific rose more than three points. The familiar rumor that Great Northern would take over North ern Pacifics interest in Burlington, opening the way for an extra distribu- ton on Northern Pacific, was revived 10 account for the unusual advance in that stock, but there was no authentic. information to explain the rise.
 The upward movement spread through the list, being helped on by reports of impending developments of a favorable nature in the Mexican sit nation. New Haven advanced with the general list, as did Baltimore and Ohio, despite its poor report for Feb ruary. Gross receipts fell off more than s1,oo0, 900, but the net decline, by reason of reduced operating expenses, was limited to S452 900. Among the in dustrials, the coppers benefited from the increased demand and higher prices for the metal here and abroad. Steel made poorer showing than the other leaders most of the day, but ulti- mately joined in the general move ment upward
 The bond market hesitated for a. time, but later rose with stocks. Total sales, s2.S35, 900.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

sLoWEsT HORSE AT POLE.
A Scheme for Handioappins Trotters,

While touring the southern states in search of entries for their grand circuit meetings, H. J. Kline, s. E. Dodson and George Conner, secretaries of the Cleveland, Grand Rapids and Detroit associations, hit upon scheme which they believe will provide a better way of racing fast record harness horses. The plan is to handicap the horses, but in a new way, and trainers at Memphis and Lexington think well of it.
 The idea is based somewhat upon the principles under which track ath- letes are governed. as the horses will be placed so many feet apart across the track, with the supposed fastest one travelling on the outside. Horses will be compelled to hold the same position the entire mile; thus horses drawing the outside places will have to travel further than the ones nearer the pole. This is an improvement over the old way of handicapping horses by placing one back of the other, with each horse travelling in the same alley the entire mile, there can be no help ing and the objection of having two or more horses from one stable or one ownership competing in the same race is overcome. This year many fast trot- ters are being 'prepped" for the grand

WEAK PITCHING STAFF
Will Handicap Wesieyan-Work Out
 doors This Week.

Baseball practice, which started the first of the month at Wesleyan uni versity, is now coming along in fine shape, and as soon as the present cold snap is over the men will be put at work out of doors by Captain Win chester. Much attention is being paid to developing the pitching staff, as the graduation of Bacon last June has left the team lamentably weak in this de- partment. The work the past few weeks has been of general nature, al though considerable time has been spent in bunting.
 The twirling. staff at present consists of five men. but Wescott, the varsity basketball player. is expected to join the squad this week, bringing the total up to six. Of the men, Captain Win chester, Seeholzer, a sophomore, and Stanley. junior. are showing up best, although Gridley and Brierly; members of the freshman class, may develop something later on. At the other end of the firing line, Dan Kenan, captain elect of the football team, is making a hard fight for the job. with Sargent, '16, and Chapin. IT, giving him a good rub. Other candidates are KinSman, '16, and AcLaury, IT.

REPLACED LOST RECORDS. Original Affidavits Establishing New
 Records Were Lost.

San Francisco, Cal, March 23.-The documents necessary to obtain credit for two worlds records made last year by California athletes were mailed to- day by the records committee of the Pacific Athletic association to the sim liar committee of the Amateur Ath- letic union. The reason the two ath- letes have been so long in getting of ficiaI credit for their achievement is that the original aff1davits were lost and new ones had to be drawn.

Chet Spencer Quits BasebalI-Accepts
 Another Position.

Chet Spencer. last season at first for the Planters, will not be with New London this summer. Spencer has accepted an offer from a big concern to take to the road as a travelling salesman and is now out on his first trip. Some weeks ago he wrote Man ager McCann that he had decided to quit baseball, as he had been offered the chance of a lifetime. but said that he would be glad to help the club at any time. Manager McCann promptly sent him his release, and though he re- grets losing Spencer, has a line on player who will report for spring prac- tice, and who, it is expected, viii fill the gap.
 Spencer came to New London from Rochester last season and held down first base to the entire satisfaction of the club management and fans alike He led the league in fielding last fall with an average of .995 and batted for .269. He will be missed by all the fans in New London, but neither the club officials nor Owner NJ. F. Plant blame

FEDS MAY HAVE FARM
 IN EASTERN ASSOCIATION
New Haven Wants to Be Feeder for
 New League.

One of the certainties in the mud dled baseball situation seems to be that, in case the Federal league estab fishes a minor league as a feeder, New Haven will apply for admission. The application will be filed as soon as the organization of the Federal Juniors is begun and, in making it, New Haven will probably be the first New Eng land city to take the leap into the ene- my'S camp, as far as organized base ball is concerned. The decision to make the change comes, not from the standpoint of pleyers, or from dissat- is faction with either the New Haven management or the Eastern associa- ton, but from capital to whom it is an object to place another strong profes- sional nine in the Elm City.

The new system will give the college oarsnen a regular coach and will assure them the daily advice of Courtney. Rowing under Courtney's S instruction is likely to stimulate inter est in the college crews and form a better source of supply for the varsity boats than heretofore. By the new ar engagement the number of men will be largely increased. The equipment of the university and college navies will be practically merged.
