freshmen, was easily the shooting
star of the day. Although the small

five baskets and was in the fight all
the time. Fernandez and Wolf were
the stellar performers for the Juniors,
: each scoring three goals and playing
a wonderful game at the forward pO-
siuOns Mueller and Garfield were
close behind them in the scoring line,
while Whiteman and Anderson play
ed excellent games at center and

The seniors fought in hard luck in
their battle. repeatedly the ball would

QUINTET READY
FOR bELO|T MEN
Take Last Practice for Game
Scheduled for TOday-Sev-
eraI Men Show Up Strong in
First of Track Practices.

Dutch" Bergman was pretty
much the whole show yesterday in the
25-minute scrimmage that Coach
Harper gave his basketball squad in
final preparation for the tilt with
Beloit this afternoon. Bergman had
a world of steam yesterday and threw
out the speed throttle to the farth-
est notch for he succeeded IN caging
eight baskets during the fray. Two of
these he rang up while playing for
ward for the scrubs during the first
half When paired with Joe Kenny
at forward on the first team Berg
mann accounted for six more HELD
goals in the second period.
Twenty men reported for track
practice yesterday and Harper gave
them a stiff workout. Pace trials for
the runners formed the major part or
the practice. No attempt was made
by the men to hit their highest speed
as the coach simply wished to get an
idea of the Improvement in their pace.
Joe Costello reeled off two full miles
in good time. considering the short
time he has been practicing t. '-"r
sity track team is weak on distance
men this year and harper IL t..---=
hard to develop some good two-milers.
Bartholomew stepped the first quar-
ter of the $50 in so seconds, which
augurS we'll for his chance or coping
points in the half mile in the coming
meets. Miller and Bacigalupe went
the complete route in the mile, while
Newning, Henehan, VOnThron and
Duggan, all sprinters, tore off one lap
in fast time.
Some Of the men who were little
late in reporting were out for track
practice yesterday. Duggan, who Gre
ated such a sensation in interhall cir
cles as a hurdler last year was out
limbering up. This man has a very
good chance this year to annex a
unique honor. Never since the time
of Father Farley in 1900 has a Notre
Dame athlete won his monogram in
three major sports. football. baseball
and track. Duggan made his y. d.
in football last fall, he is practically
sure of a baseball emblem this spring,
for he was a monogram man in 1913,
and now he is after laurels on the
track. AS he can clear the barriers
ia fast time he is well within striking
distance of an honor always coveted,
but rarely attained by college men.
VOelkers, a fast quarter and half
miller who made a strong bid for var
sity hOnOrs last year, was in togs yes
terday The track and basketball
training tables have been started with
about 3 men on the former and nine
on the latter.
The interhall track meet that was TO
have taken place tonight has been
postponed till next Thursday after
noon. The Beloit game today will be-
gin at $40 p. m. instead Of at $3.50
as was originally planned.

WOLGAST THINKS
He Il BE FARMER
Ride in Automobile and Raise
Chickens When He Quits
Has Lot of Land.

CADILLAC, Mich, Jan. 1O.-Ad
Wolgast, the ex-champion lightweight,
expects to retire to one of his farms
in the not far distant future and settle
down where he can think over his ex-
ploits in the ring and at the same
time enjoy real country life.
While Ada was training for his
match with Charley White he had the
farm bee buzzing for a fare-yOu-well
1t seems TO me" said Ad. that a
lot of these fighters buy a great deal
or property but never make anything
out of it. They tell me that Bat Mel
son became property poor. OF course
he may get it back some time. While
out in California they told me that
several of the fighters bought up some
good property, but let it go before
they had chance 10 make anything
from it; while others took hold OF it
and cleared thousands of dollars.
Tommy Burns was an exception and
cleaned up lot of money around Los
Angeles.
II bought acres near the ocean and
then sold ii for a few hundred more
than l paid for il, which was around
$4,000. To show how values increase
out there, l bought the same property
back again with the past year for
81 rVUO, and expect TO make lot
of money on it before 1 am through.
I bought a ranch up in Oregon, but I
think they did me. However l have
plenty of property and l am going TO
select one of the ranches or farms to
settle down on, if 1 have to do no
more than raise chickens
You know farmers nowadays are
not like those Of the past. They ride
in automobiles, while the poor suck
ers do the work. l intend 10 have an
automobile and become a real gentle
man farmer. Then it will be good bye
TO the fOOtlights forever"

The southern team has a good rep

and are suffering a slump from the

Allen and NandenBosch will start
the contest at forwards. but Scott

tice Will probably be given show.

sitions should Plymouth prove easy

FIGHT FEDS WITH
RIVAL TEAM IS
PLAN At CHICAGO
Organized Baseball Men Will
Bring Outside Team Into
North Side if Outlaw League
Grows Stronger.
by BILL BAILFY.

CHICAGO. Jan. 10.--Take a squint
at the buried ace in the hands OF or
ganized baseball
The Federal league is to have a
club on the north side with Joe T1nk-
CT at the head. All right
Organized baseball sits back and
watches developments II the third
league is a frost there is loud
guffaw. Everybody says he knew IL
and few real stars wonder how in
the world they are going 20 break
back into the organized game.
But II Il is a go from the start then
watch organized baseball. The resi-
dents Of the north side wake up some
fine morning and discover that they
have Two clubs in their vicinity where
they had but one. The Federal is
still there. But organized baseball
has thrown another club into the ter
ritory. Get the idea2
II the north side club begins to
cost the SOx and Cubs too much
money the Feds will have cOmpeti-
ton at their door, and you can wager
that the opposition Will be the kind
that will hurt too. said opposition
viii be represented by a ball club that
contains some stars and strong
enough 10 give the third league club
a run for its life.
It may be a loser. But organized
baseball Will be called upon to pocket
the loss and when that is prO-rated
IL won't amount 10 so much at that.
The scheme is under consideration.
Even the league which will produce
the team has been described. It's gone
farther than that and named the
team IN the league that has been con-
sidered. More than that, baseball men
have an idea that Gunther park
could be secured as a site for the
fight.
May Bring MilIers i'm.
IL may be that the Minneapolis
club which will he brought into this
vicinity TO give battle to the Feds, or
10 may be the St. Paul team. Both
are OF the American association.
Here is the scheme. Supposing
that the Federal is a go from the start
and 1t becomes evident that the third
team Is going 20 cut into he Ameri-
can and NaIonal league clubs. There's
meeting OF men In organized base
ball. One of these teams is selected
TO make the fight. with the consent of
the owner, OF course.
He shows what he did in a fnan-
ciaI way with his team the previous
year Then he is instructed TO go
along. throw his team into the north
side and if there is a deficit it will
come from the war fund. He'll be
guaranteed against any possible loss
and viii be assured of earning just
as much as if he remained in his own
territory.
On top Of that ne will be given a
ball team that will put up the brand
Of baseball that the third league does.
The practical baseball men know that
the fan doesn't care a great deal what
the color of the uniforms are or TO
what league the club belongs to as
long as the baseball is on display
That's the ace in the hole And
the men in organized baseball believe
that a second club on the north side
would draw sufficiently TO make the
Federals a bad investment.
In which event they would be well
satisfied even II they were compelled
20 dig into their pockets and make up
a loss for their own team.
