BY The United Press.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. April H.
Edward e. Gates. in an extended
statement here today gave his opinion
OF yesterdays decision in the Killifer
case. Gates is counsel for the Fed
eral League. He said the Federals
have three courses left: To attempt
a permanent injunction before Judge
Sessions; appeal TO a higher court:
or sue Killifer for breach of contract.
Since the case was argued only on
agreed facts with no witnesses
brought into court, the decision is not
final. he said. In case a permanent
injunction is asked, witnesses will be
held showing damage to the Federal
League.
He said the decision against the re-
serve clause was a victory for the
Federals and repeated that he did
not know what course the league
would take in this case.

During a match of pool in a club
tournament the referee called a foul
on A. which was a mistake, as our
room rules say a referee shall not
call a foul unless opponent calls his
attention TO it. The referee changed
his decision and told A to continue
shooting. B was not satisfied with
the decision, as he says he would
have called the foul if the referee
had not and claims referee had no
right to change his decision. A ad-
mits the foul. but was allowed to con-
tinue shooting. A won the game. B,
although not satisfied. did not for
mally protest the game until two
weeks afterward. Should the game
stand or be played over? A and b

he Old M ner
By Barbara Boyd

He was a stopped old man with a
fringe of gray hair about his bald head
bushy gray eyebrows over deep-sunk
eyes, a scraggly gray mustache.
His face was thin, deeply furrowed;
his form, lean, sinewy.
But his blue eyes under the over
hanging brows had an intensity, fire,
somewhat at varience with the lined
face and old bent figure.
He was a miner, and he was work
ing a claim at Candle. two hundred
miles north of Nome, Alaska.
He had gone almost to the top edge
of the earth in his pursuit of gold.
And he had been following it's yellow
lure ever since 40.
More than sixty years ago, when the
news of gold in California had stirred
the world he had left his home in the
East and thrown in his fortunes with
the Argonauts. If enthusiasm still
burns in his eyes what must have been
their light then, as with crowd OF
adventures he left New York for Pan
anna? He crossed the Isthmus in the
days of swamps and fevers and In
dian canoes. He came into California
with the Forty-niners. He prospected
and "panned" through the Sierras, and
tramped the foothills and deserts, al
ways hopeful, always enthusiastic.
For almost fifty years he driftet
about California, and Arizona, ant
Nevada, and Idaho, and Montana
wherever the magic yellow metal was
said to be hidden. Then when the
news came of Alaska's fabulous colder
store, he took ship for the Far North
over the White Horse Pass he strug
gled He froze and starved through

{By Associated Press.)

London, July 1.-The American
ambassador, DR.. Walter Hines Page,
came near to being charged with lack

American Salvation Army delegates

misunderstanding was cleared by one
of the embassy clerks.
