could not be found last night, but the
fact that his letters are in the posses

is sufficient proof that he intends 10
make determined effort TO carry out
the plan successfully.
William Gibson. well known as
SPORTING promoter ard tne owner OF
several restaurants in the Bronx, has
promised TO furnish ample backing for
the proposed new ball club. II was
learned yesterday that Gibson had sew

and set forth the fact that the Bronx

with nearly 100000 Inhabitants. Glib

The delay in the Judge Lands decision
In the Federal League suit comes de "

announced during the past Week tnst'
Judge Lands would render ms declsloI
before Saturday, but there has peeI
nothing forthcoming. II was supposeu
the court would not take mucn tline u

in their closing argument withdrew all
their complaints, excepting the one ash,
ing that the forces of organized base pai
be enjoined from meddling with theii

But, of course, Judge Lands has moi
| been able to give his undivided attentloi
! to this matter. His court has been puSS
with other cases, and this may be re
sponsible for the delay i'll reaching a de
cision in the base ball case.

There is one exception in this opinion

predicts that the SoX with Collins IN the

The fact that the Hose We're sixth in

Rickey's opinion, for the addition Of one
great player like Collins can make win

You only get cramps in an

one leg. When you feel it

your back, and kick out as

don't stand much kicking
