MISS MARGARET WYCHERLY IN
"THE FIGHT"

When Bayard WELLER wrote "Within
the Law" it seemed that he had
reached the acme of the American
playwrights ambition, and as the
theatrical year came and went without
producing a single writer to that re-
markable play, the opinion became
more and more confirmed, but last
summer he revealed on the stage of
the Hudson Theatre, New York, an
other play which seemed destined to
become even greater. This is "The
Fight" vivid drama of white slav-
cry, corrupt politics, unscrupulous
"big business" and the awakening in
f1uence of the American business
woman which has swept into insignifi-
canoe every other play of the year.
1t will be seen with the identical
cast which played in New York at the
Valentine Theatre January % and "a
with Saturday matinee. The cast is
headed by Miss Margaret Wycherly
which includes. Marjorie Wood, Ed
ward R. Mawson, William McVay, Ivan
Simpson, Raymond Van Sickle
Frances Stamford, Ada Boshell and
twenty others.
There will be special priced matinee

whooplns Cough Caused by Germ.

Whooping Cough Caused by Germ.
That whooping cough is caused by
the bacillus pertussis, discovered by
Drs. Bordet and Gengou, has now at
last been proved beyond a doubt
Masses of minute bacilli infest the
epithelial cells lining the windpipe,
and tubes that lead to the lungs.
Their action is chiefly mechanical;
they interfere with the normal move
ments of the ella by sticking them to-
gether; in this way the germs furnish
a continual irritation, which results
in the symptoms peculiar to the dis
ease" Drs. Mallory and Horner now
announce the results of experiments
upon puppies. They infected these
animals by injecting the sputum of
whooping cough patients into their
noses and throats. Six weeks later
the lesion characteristic of the disease
was found in their windpipes. Normal
puppies that associated with them
caught the disease.

Uses for Old Newspapers.

How many housekeepers know the
value of old newspapers? They are
excellent for many things.
Spread on the kitchen table they
catch crumbs and can be renewed at
every meal. Crumpled in the hand
they polish stoves and remove su.
perfluous grease and dirt on the
stove and on cooking utensils before
they are washed.
Placed between quilts they keep the
bed warm. Put in the soles of shoes
they keep the feet warm. Placed
across the chest they keep the body
warm.
Packed around woollens they act as
a moth preventer. A firm is now
making paper quilts. These can be
made at home by using newspapers
for filling and making the outside OF
the best grade of crinkled tissue pa
per. A serviceable and pretty quilt
can be made of white tissue paper
with a floral design. 1t lasts one sea
on and a fresh one can be made the
next summer

FEDERALS SAY THEY WILL
 FIGHT FOR WALTER JOHNSON
Advance Money and Is Legally Bound


 New York. Dec. 21Robert B. Ward. vice-preaident of the Federal League, returned yesterday from Chi cago, where he has been attending a conference Of the executive comnnittee of the outlaw organization MT. Ward said that he had received no official information that Walter Johnson had repudiaked his Federal League con tract with Joe Tinker of the Chifeds, but stated that the Federal League had Johnson tied up to an ironc1ad contract which he could not break.
 .Mr Ward for the first time, an- nodnced the official figures of John- sons salary He received 2 contract for two years at $17,500 a year and had been given $6,000 Of this in asd- vance MT. Ward stated that it did not stand to reason that Johnson, with only the flimsy. uncertain reserve clause to call him back, would accept the Washington's club contract of $12.50o a. year or $5, GOO a year less than he is offered by the ssF'eds,'' The Federal League is prepared for a. legal fight if Johnson tries to get away. k
 MT. Ward also stated that the Brookfeds had decided to keep Rnbe Marquard on account of the arrogant manner in which the Giant club own CTS had received his letter. onering to give Marquard up. if it could be prov en that he was under contract with

RUPERT NOT READY TO SAY
 SALE IS OFF

Indianapolis, Ind. Dec. 21-Col- Jacob Ruppert and Capt. Huston, prospec- tive purchasers of the Yankees, arriv- ed here last night from French Lick Springs, and immediately went into a conference with Harry Hempstead, president of the Giants.
 Ruppert and Huston expressed the belief that their acquisition of the New York Americans is but. matter of comparatively short time. They say there are number of details that must be ironed out before they can take over the club, but they seem convinced that President John son and American League magnates will do much to make it possible.
 While we are convinced we will soon own the Yankees,' said Ruppert, there is no use of our taking over the franchise as matters now, stand. We think that the American League magnates will see the matter in the same light, and that at a conference in Chicago in the next few days they will give us the players we need to put New York on the American League map.''
 Neither Col Ruppert nor Huston will consider the possibility of acquir- ing Federal League franchise or of placing a team in that league in New York
 I, for one, will not consider any Federal League proposition,'' said Col Ruppert, and Huston gave a. decided negative shake Of his head when ask ed if he would become interested in the new league.

 FEDS SIGN
 STRONG TEAM


 Pittsburgh, Pa, Dec. 21.-With the approval and unanimous support of the club officials Rebel Oakes, man ager of the Pittsburgh Federal league team, has signed up an aggregation Of talent that should be a prominent figure in the pennant race The out field will be taken care Of by Cakes. Mike Menosky and Davy Jones, with Frank Delahanty and Ralph Mattis as utility helders. In the indeId will be Ed Konetchy, Steve Yerkes, Marty Berghammer, Mike NNencsky and Len nox as extra man.
 When it comes to batteries Manager Cakes will have strong array. The list shows Pitchers Pol Perritt, Frank Allen, Bunny Hearn, Howard Cam nitz, Cy Barger, Walter Dickson and Elmer Knetzer. ITO take care of the bachstopping. Claude Berry will be retained and will be strengthened by Pat O'Connor, a member of the St. Louis Nationals.
 In connection with the signing of Ed Konete1y, the crack first baseman of the Pittsburgh Nationals last sea- son, who in accordance with his prom ise to Rebel Oakes signed with the Feds for 1915 and 1916, it seems that Koney was the neutral figure of pro- posed big deal between the Giants and the Pittsburgh Nationals, in which McGraw is said to have offered s25. GOO and three players for the great first basenan.

There will be a meeting of the direc- tors of the Holy Name basketball league in St. Charles hall, this evening. at o'clock. A delegation of five direc- tors from each society will be present and the bylaws and schedule for the league season will be adopted. The schedule as drawn up by +Old Man Grump" calls for the opening of the league season on Friday, January 1, with St. Mary's vs. St. Charles and Sacred Heart vs- St. Johns, both games to be played on St. Charles court.
 The bylaws are a rather stringent set and each society is earnestly re- quested to have a full delegation of five at the meeting for the purpose of approving or disappearing. as the case may be, the schedule and partic- ularly tho bylaws. The newly ap- pointed president, John A Lyddy, will preside and William J. Garrity will record the minutes of the meeting.

the New York club. Inasmuch as the New York club has decided to ignore his letter, he will keep Marquard on the strength of the big pitchers af- hdavit that he was not under contract with the Giants.
 MT. Ward mentioned that the exc cutive committee of the Federal Lea que had decided to take no action about a. redistribution of players~be- cause each of the clubs was entitled to the players which it had signed from the ranks of organized baseball Chief Bender will pitch for the Ba1ti< more club as he was signed by Harry Goldman of that club. Goldman also signed Eddie Plank, but. in doing this, he was acting for Phil Ball of the St. Louis team and not for the Baltimore club.
 vice-president Sward said. last night that there was a strong probability that Hans Lobert would be signed by the St. Louis Feds today. Lobert, af- fer his conference in Philadelphia with Harry Goldman last week, inn mediateIy went to St. Louis to have a. conference with Ball. Lobert had a long talk last week with President Baker of the Phf1lies and it is under stood was offered a substantial in crease in salary for next season. Lo- bert did not sign but stated that he would give his answer to the Phila- delphia club within a few days.

YALE WANTS 4 MILE RACE
 TO BE KEPT

Interviewed by the Yale Daily News on shortening the college boat races. captains and coaches at Yale, liar 'var1 and Princeton show divided opin- ions This question, although actively agitated in certain other colleges has been little discussed at Yale and liar ward, and it is improbable that any radical change will be contemplated by the managements of the Yale and Harvard crews.
 Captain Denegre of the Yale crew says: t'In regard to the four-rnile race, I am in favor of 1t, because l consider 1t a best test of skill in row. ing, and coaching. and as better test of endurance and generalship. On the consideration of this question, think we should place some value in past tradition and dn the fact that four miles has been the esta blished dis tance The three-n-i1e race is an un- tried thing. My opinion is that it would develop into more' or less of a sprint and would be more detrimental physically than the longer course.
 H. A. Murray, captain of the Harv- ard crew, expresses himself as fol- lows:
 tIt has yet to be proved that four mile race is definitely injurious to col- 1ege men of sound physique, who have gone through five months of careful training; and, in my opinion, much in- vestigation will have to be made be- fore the question is decided one way or the other.''
 At Princeton there has been strong sentiment against the four-nile race and Manager J. B. Paul of the Prince ton crew summaries the situation there as follows:
 Since the revival of rowing at Princeton, we have not engaged in any races of more than two miles but the recent agitation for the adoption Of the new distance has aroused an un- usual amount of interest here. As a whole think that Princeton crew men would regard such a race as a great improvement over the four-mile dis |tance's

WHY M'L LOUGHLIN WAS RANKED FIRST
 IN TENNIS WORLD.

New York, Dec. 21.-Believing that the objective of the national ranking is to name the players in the relative order of their skill, irrespective of what titles and championships they may have won, Maurice E. McLough- lin of California has been placed at the top of the list for the season of 1914.
 Itis the third consecutive time in his brief career that the famous Cali fornian has held that position. It is regarded as all the more remarkable because of the fact that McLoughlin's s ascendancy began from the time that it became necessary for the national champion to play through at the tour nament at Newport, method whicn was rapidly extended to other premier champi onships.
 McLoughlin, by taking the place of No. 1 on the national list ahead of Richard N. Williams 2d, is the first American in all of the thirty-fve has broken the rule of rating the. hold CT of the crown of the courts in top place.
 The ranking committee, after careful search of the rules relating to the rating of the players. failed to find any decision which arbitrarily awarded the most honored position to the national champion. Their finding in this report srnashes one of the h1nsy tradition of the courts, but it smooths the way for merit and other committees in years to come.

NEW HAVEN SOCCER
 TEAM CANCELS GAME

The soccer game, scheduled for yes terday afternoon between the New Ha- ven and Bridgeport city teams, was cancelled owing to the refusal of New Haven to play. The New Haven team has already had the entire gate re- ceipts of one game when the Bridge port team played in New Haven and has also figured in the receipts of two games in Bridgeport.
 Secretary Joe Booth in commenting on New Ravens refusal to play, made the following statement last night:
 The New Haven team has already had the entire gate receipts of one game when the Citys visited it in the early part of the season, and has also joined in the two games played on the City's grounds. ss
 They were cupties and the rules call for a division of the gate re- ceipts, Now it is Citys turn to have the whole receipts and New Haven shows itself to be a poor sport Both teams were idle Sunday and still have a league game to play

WHERE BIG LEAGUERs
 WILL TRAIN FOR 1915

The Brooklyn winter team will go to Florida for the first time and train at Daytona, where there is big Ma tiona1 colony to patronize the games. Manager Robinson will keep his squad there for a month, and. on account of the fine weather, it is expected that the Dodgers will return in excellent condition. Last year the weather was so bad at Augusta that they got little or no chance for training work.
 The Boston Braves will go to Ma con, Ga, as Manager Stallings is par tial to his native state The players will assemble before March 1, but will spend a week or two hunting on Stal- ling's Haddock plantation before starting any active trainig.
 The Philadelphia Nationals will train at St. Petersburg, Fla, while the Chicago Cubs will again go to Tampas Fla Manager Charley Her zog will take his squad to Alexandria, La, and the St. Louis Cardinals will Pirates have chosen a new training camp, Dawson Springs, ky.
 In the American League the train ing camp O. the Yankees has not been chosen, but if the club is not sold, President Frank Farrell will probably take the team to Gulfport, Miss, the training ground of the Detroit Tigers Gulfport has offered inviting induce ments to the New York club.
 The Boston Red Sox will again go to Hot Springs, while the Athletics will train at their old camp at Jack sonville, Fla The White Sox will go to the Pacific coast again, and will train at Paso Rob1es, Cal Cleveland will train at San Antonio with the St. Louis Cardinals, while the St. Louis Browns will have the Yankees old training grounds at Houston, Texas.
 Manager Griffith of Washington be- 1ieves that he will try the team s home park at Washington to train next spring, andl will abandon Char Iotsville, Va. He says the climate at Washington is just as fair in the spring as it is at Charlottesville.

WALTER JOHNSON
 DECIDES NOT TO
 JUMP TO OUTLAWS

Kansas City, Dec. 21.--The cause of organized baseball scored a triumph when it was announced here that Waiter Johnson, who recently jumped to the Chicago F'ederals. had hurdIed back to organized ball. The announce ment was made by Manager Griffith of the Washington club who said Johnson had signed a three year con tract with Washington.
 The manager and pitcher reached an agreement in an aIl-day confer ence. Johnson issued the following signed statement:
 "After a conference with Manager Grithfn and legal authorities am convinced the option in my last years contract with the Washington ball club was binding and I am going to return to the Washington ball club and fulfill my agreement and at the terms offered me by that club.
 WALTER JOHNSON ,.
 Manager Griffith wired Benjamin s. baseball club, after the meeting. as follows:
 4.Johnkon is convinced that our op ton is legal He signed with us at your figures
 Griffith said Joz1nson's new contract called for a salary of $12.50o year for three yearEan increase of $500 over his last season contract.
 Gritf1h and Johnson would return to the Federal league the $6,000 bonus which Manager Tinker of the Chicago Federals paid him to sign a Federal league contract in Coneyville, Kan, on Dec. B. The Federal league con tract called for a. salary of $16,ooo a year.
 Johnson and his wife came to Kan sas City following the receipt of a tel egram from Manager Griffith asking the pitcher to meet him.
