EXPLAINS SITUATION

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. S-The war
ship which was believed to be in dis
tress of Ocean City. Md, undoubt-
eddy was the United States battleship
Kansas. Reports received at the
Philadelphia Navy Yard from Captain
Niblack. commander Of the Kansas.
which is lying inside the Delaware
Breakwater. stated that he had been
obliged to anchor of Ocean City yes
terday to protect his vessel from
storm. No other vessel was in that
vicinity, so far as he knew.
The ships propellers we're being
lifted out of the water by the heavy
seas, Captain Niblack stated, and
were in danger of breaking or throw
ing the engines out of line. He re-
ported that the Kansas was unin-
iured except for slight damage to
several life boats and the superstruc-
ture.
The Kansas, which is returning
from six-month cruise in Mexican
waters. was in the thick of the storm
all the way up the Coast and when
IL became necessary to anchor the
vessel five miles below Ocean City
life savers and observers from the
shore believed the vessel had gone
aground. Because of the thick fog
the ship was only dimly visible.
Captain Niblack said that several
times during the night he had en-
deavored to exchange torch signals
with the life-saving crew, but that
il was impossible TO do so.
The Kansas is a member of the
fourth division Of the Atlantic feet
and carries a crew of 500 officers and
men. Captain Niblack reported to-
night that he would remain at an
Choir inside the Delaware Break
water until the weather moderates
when the vessel will said for the
Philadelphia Navy Yard.

HEALTH board
INSPECTS schools
Make Report Public After
Board Of Education Is
Informed of Condition
CHANGES WOULD
COST CITY $4,000

II was expected that the Board Of
Health at its meeting yesterday after
noon would discuss sanitary condi-
tions of the public schools as found
by the investigation committee of the
Board which made an inspection last
week No discussion, however. took
place. II was remarked that the re-
port OF the committee was ready, and
it was produced but not read. 1t was
remarked by Mr.. Hutton that 1t should
not be made public until the Board Of
Education had first be given an OPP
portunity to reply TO the following let
ter. which IL was stated had been sent
to that body:
To the Honorable President and
Members of the Board Of Education:
Conference.-The members of this
board, after a thorough investigation
of the public schools, as TO the sani-
tary condition of toilets find that the
toilets, In their present condition. In
a number of the schools, are in a very
unsanitary condition, which is very
detrimental to the health Of the chill
dren and the community.
The board directed me to notify you
of the existant conditions with a view
| of your remedying these defects in
/ the near future. We feel that the pres
ent conditions. as cited above, cannot
/ continue, as the board is duty bound
TO protect the public health. We have
reports on file in this Office covering
each school. and should you so desire.
we will furnish you a copy.
II we can be of service to you, in
going before City Council to help you
get the appropriation for this work.
we shall gladly do so.
Very respectfully,
J. AUSTIN ELLISON.
Secretary,
Mr.. Hutton said that he considered
that Il would cost S25, 900 TO nut the
schools in a sanitary condition. Il
was remarked that School No. 15 was
in a particularly bad condition.
Mrs. II. B. MastOn, in a letter tc
the board, complained about the con.
dition of the sewage system OF the
property at No. 1918 Claymont street
which she owns. IL was formerly
drained by a pipe which had its out
let In lot In the rear Of the propert,
No. 1920 Claymont street. The new
owner OF this property, Alexander
kardos has since cut the connection
and now the sewage of Mrs. Maston'
remaining property has no outlet
kardos recently made complain
about this and the board sent her
notice TO connect her property wit
! the sewer. The board decided tina
4 all houses between Thirteenth an
Fourteenth streets on Claymont shout
be connected with the sewer.
Mr. Hutton and Mr.. Sparks were al
pointed to investigate a case brougl
before the board by Louis /. Baer,
No. 623 King street. The troub
is over a wall built by Braunstein an
Company about six inches back OF M
Baer's property. In the space betwee
the two buildings water collects an
washes into the adjoining cellars.
Edmund Hawke, owner of the pror
critics at Nos. 622-24-26-2S Brow
street was given until spring to con
meet his properties with the sewer
There was complaint that surfac
water from the properties was flow
ing over the pavements.

ARE MAKING PLANS.
Georgetown Preps Are Preparing fol
Base Ball Season.

The Georgetown Props will take the
field with determination 10 capture
the scholastic base bail championship
of the District. Not jn previous Years
have so many candidates signiiied their
intention to report for practice. Dur
ing the last few DAYS the majority Of
the men have bcen working out in the
Ryan gymnasium under Father Emmct.
II will be remembered that when Father
Emmett last coached the PreDs they
were one of the most formidable
scholastic organiza tions iii this section.
Meetings are frequently held. at which
Father Emmett drills the men on the
clements Of base ball This method
is expected to bring about good results
for the Knowledge which the men ac
quire from these councils will prove

Jack warhop a valuable pitcher, and
Cashion will have more on the ball than
Warhop because of his enormous size.

President Minor and Manager Griffith
will leave for New York tomorrow to at
tend the meeting Of the National and
American leagues. The schedules of the
two big leagues will be adopted at this
meeting 1t is known that the season
will open April IA, and it is intimated that
the Washington team will not open at
home, but at Boston instead, after which
either New York or Philadelphia will be
visited, SO that it will very likely be late
in April before the season is opened here.
Some one asked Griftith If there was a
chance for him to pull off any trades
while he was attending the meeting. and
he replied: Well, hardly think SO. Most
of the teams are made up. But If there
is chance to better my team, of course,
will not be caught mapping, though at
this season of the year there are few
deals pulled Off You know 1t is only
II short while now when the teams will
all be in training

hausted its supply of major league ball

confession the other day that it had no
hopes OF further raiding the big leagues,
and would now give its attention to the
minor leagues, is an admission Of its
defeat While there has always been
doubt as to whether there is room for
third major league, it is certain that a
third league made up mostly of minor
league PLAYERS cannot succeed in cities
where major league base ball Is estab-
lished
In less than a month the members of
the Washington team will be in training
at Charlottesville. On the sd of this
month the recruit pitchers and several
of the veterans will meet here and go to
Charlottesville for their preliminary
training. Griffith now has all his players
lined up. and will have squad of nearly
forty in training. Groom is the only
it is not believed that he will join the
Federals, and he may come into the fold
ere long.
That organized base ball will decide
upon some plan by which to thwart the
Federal League at the joint meeting OF
the two big leagues in New York this
week is generally conceded. If 1t is
planned to place third league in the
field, which will do battle against the
outlaws of organized base ball, it prob
ably means that the courts are not to be
sought to stop the outlaws" There is
one objection to the bringing of minor
league circuits into big cities. To begin
with, such a league would be exempt
from the draft most likely, and in time
would grow into a genuine major league

TINKER IS OPTIMISTIC.
Federal League, He Says, Has Won
Its Fight.
pecisl Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star
CHICAGO. February IF the major
leagues can issue statements so can the
Federals. and today Joe Tinker. manager
of the Chicago Federal League team.
broke loose with the statement that the
fight was over: that the Federal League
had won, and that the majors were
ready to knuckle down and be good, al
lowing the players that had signed with
the Federals to 20 back and play with
the baby organization. Tinker declared
that following the scheduled meeting of
the majors that the big leaguers would
agree that its contracts must be upheld
and that the men who had signed with
the. Federals would have to play with the
Federals and could not jump back and
forth.
Tinker did not explain why he was
confident that the battle was over, but
insisted that Red kiilifer. who signed
with the Federals and then jumped to
Philadelphia. would play with the Fed
erals. and he also claimed that Williams,
Baumgardner and Agnew Of the ST Louis
Browns would be seen in the lineup of
the Kansas City Federal League team,
and not with the American League or
ganization.
Tinker also said that court proceedings
would not be necessary to force the
majors to play with the Federals, as
their contracts with the Federals would
hold them. and that the majors would
be forced TO recognize that. these con
tracts were binding and stop counting
on the services of these men.
TinkerS confidence was increased as
result of the meeting today of the
magnates of the Federal League. when
it was stated that harmony ruled and
that the maRnates were in financially
stronger position to insure the thorough
success Of the organization.
Tinker said that for their own protec-
ton that both the International League
and the American Association will in
sist that the Federal League be admit
ted to organized base ball to prevent play
ers being grabbed from them. as they
are apt to be the worst hit by the
depredat ons Of the Federals.
