participated in games this season to which that institution was a party, was adopted. It was ordered, however, that the university be admonished to ex- ercise greater diligence in future to safeguard it's athletic standards.
 The committee based it's recommenda- tion on 'the fact that this is the uni versity's first year in the $. l. A. A., which made it easy for the general slackness which usually characterizes local control toSfeact upon the faculty representative to make him less vigil lant than he might otherwise have been and in view of the dismissal or dis qualification of the guilty players and in view of the fact that the university has done away with the office of gradu ate manager, substituting therefor a student managership, responsible to the faculty
 Other recommendations of the com mittee adopted, ordered the suspension of Mercer college (Georgia) from the organization for the remainder of the 1915-16 season because that institution played Jake Sellers in a football game against Columbia college of Lake City, Fla, several weeks ago, and the rein statement of five University of Missis- sippi football players to full eligibility.

JENNINGS NEVER SIGNS A CONTRACT; WORD ENOUGH
 FOR PRESIDENT NAVIN

The false rumor supposed to have been nstigated by the Federal league that it was about to sign Hugh Jen- nings as manager of its New York club revealed a peculiar relationship existing between Jennings and Frank Navin, his employer Jennings never signs a contract with Navin
 The first year Hughie managed the Tigers he signed a regular contract. Since that time it has been renewed
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-12-11

simply by the word of mouth. At the end of each season Navin tells Jennings that he wants him for next year and Jennings replies that he'll be on hand.
 Doubtless Jennings has had several increases since he has managed the Tigers, but all of them have been ver- bally contracted for Anyone who knows Hughie Jennings knows that his word is as good as his bond" Navin is quoted as saying. Navin told of the 9entleman's agreement by which Jen- nings serves him and later Hughie confirmed his boss statement.

The annual meeting of the Upper
Peninsula Development Bureau. which
was set for February End. at Hough-
ton. has been postponed until the
month Of May, to be held at Houghton,
and the exact date to be set later.
This postponement is caused by so
many Of the general officers, members

seemed wise to make this adjourn
ment.

JUDGE OBRIEN RULES
in BARACA CASE.

In the circuit court at Houghton Mon
day afternoon Judge O'Brien. in cham
bers, issued q writ Of mandamus. per-
emptorily ordering Treasurer Robert
Price Of Barags township to pay over
to Treasurer Hoken Lundin Of the Bar
aga township school district $40. 900 Of
the funds Of the district held by the
former. "a
The matter was opened in the Baraga
county circuit court last week and
Judge O'Brien granted the relator, the
school district, the first victory by
issuing to the township treasurer an
order to show cause. The matter was
argued Monday afternoon by Attorney
Hubert Brennan for the relator and
Attorney N. A. Ruonavaara for the
defendant.
The facts in the case are that Treas
urer Price had in his possession as town
ship treasurer $4,000 of school funds.
which he refused to turn over to the
school district treasurer on demand, as
provided by the statute. The township
treasurer admitted his possession Of the
funds.
When the matter came to an issue in
court Treasurer. Price offered Treas
urer Lundin $l.500, which the latter
refused.
Fred Schwalm, who is supervisor Of
the township as well as president Of
the Baraga County State Bank, in which
Township Treasurer Price keeps his
funds, testified on behalf Of Mr.. Price
that the reason the remittance to the
school district was not made was be-
cause Of the difficulty Of figuring the
excess taxes and the school districts
share in them before March 1.
Judge O'Brien held that the statute
compels the township treasurer to pay
over school monies on demand Of the
school district and in this view he issued
the peremptory order.
Attorney Ruonavaara announced his
intention to appeal the case to the su-
preme court.
