A MERCILESS JUDGE
One Who Shows No Favor.

A merciless judge is Father Time. Before him the weak and the wanting go to the wall, Only the truth can stand. For years the following state ment from a Norwich resident has withstood this sternest of all tests.
 Mrs. Roland Ockery, 262 Franklin St. Norwich, says: Pains in the small of my back caused me great suffering. Whenever I stopped, sharp twinges darted through my body and I was handicapped in doing my housework I felt miserable when I began using Doan's Kidney Pills procured from N. D. Sevin 6 Sons Drug Store. Their good effect was soon noticeable and l continued taking them until the trou- ble was removed" Statement given April 9, 1906.)
 Over five years later Mrs. Ockery said: 'Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of kidney trouble and I have been in good health since. Others of my fam fly have taken this medicine with good results"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Ockery has twice publicly rec commended. Foster -MiIburn Co.,. Props, Buffalo, N. Y.

and St. Louis are excepted inasmuch as Weeghman and Ball will be per mitted to keep what players they desire of the Federal league clubs in these cities.
 The announcement concerning the reimbursement of the Ward interests in the Brooklyn Federal league club was short. It was:
 The Ward interests will be reim- bursed, both major leagues assuming this responsibility"
 No announcement of any figures was given in respect to this, but it is un- officially though authOritatively stated 1t will be $4O0,000 payable at the rate of $2O,O00 a year.
 International League Situation.
 These five principal conditions took
 little time of the meeting, which eX- tended over two days. The chief stumbling block in the way of a quick decision to have peace was the Inter- national league. Two propositions
 were concerned. One was that the Buffalo Federal league club wanted to be consolidated with the Buffalo Inter-
 national league club, but the Interna- tional club would not agree to this. The other was relative to the Balti- more Federal league park. Jack Dunn of the Richmond, Va, team has for Barrow of the International league, been considered as having the legiti- mate right to an International league franchise in Baltimore when peace was declared. Dunn appeared here today and demanded this right and. it was 1 reported, made an offer for the Federal 1 league grounds. The Federal league 1 made counter proposition, but the 1 difference in the two figures was so l wide that no agreement was reached.
 Committee Will Settle Questions. l However. in order not to delay the i signing of the treaty of peace, it was | arranged that a committee be appoint 1 ed with full power to act in settling | both of these questions relative to the l International league.
 Following the appointing of this ! committee, the conferees made short | work of the remainder of the business 1 and shortly before o'clock tonight | they announced that all the provisions i of the treaty of peace had been agreed 1 to, that the lawyers were then draw l ing up the document and putting il | into legal form, and that it would be

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS ENLIVENED.
Metal Shares and Various Industrial
 Issues Featured.

New York, Dec 22.-Metal shares as we'll as Mercantile Marine preferred and various industrial and equipment issues of the so-caIled war class fig ured profNinently in todays broad market, IT. ast at materially higher quotations, but rails mad investments generally participated inly in minor measure.
 American Smelling again led the list, rising 1 1-2 to 106 1-4, it's highest price since 1908, while Anaconda, Utah. Greene-C -Cananea, Chino, Butte-Supe- riOr, Inspiration, National Lead and Tennessee Copper were higher by one to almost four points. The movement in these stocks was predicated largely on the additional advance in the price of refined copper to 21 cents. Accord ing to unconfirmed reports, even higher prices were offered for immediate de- livery of large quantities. It was also reported that foreign interests, chiefly British, had contracted for millions of pounds of copper, deliveries to run all through the coming year.
 United States Steel made moderate response to further optimistic trade advices which epitomized the state of that industry as at the boiling point" There were some backward features in that part of the stock list, however, gaining 10 points in the final trading. General Motors common and preferred were heavy, presumably in connection with the proposed change of control.
 Oil shares were the outstanding is sues of the last hour, Mexican PetrO- leum changing hands in round quanti- ties at an extreme advance of Is to the new high record of 103 3-4. Prices elsewhere shaded to a marked extent, some early gains, including that of Smelling, being considerably reduced Dealings were much larger than on the preceding day, total sales amount ing to 537, ,00O shares.
 The Austrian note anent the Ancona episode had little or no influence prices as a whole being at their best after publication of that communica- ton. Foreign affairs were viewed with more complacency or indifference and exchange to leading European centers was for the most part stronger
 Heavy trading in Anglo-F'rench fives which aggregated S2,274,000, was the distinguishing feature of the irregular bond market, at quotations ranging between 94 3-4 and 94 7-8. Total sales of bonds. par value, amounted to $4,- 875,000.

Players Salaries Total $7,ooo GOO.

When it is realized that the major and minor leagues paid out for players alone a little more than $36,0O0, 900 dur ing the past season, the financial diff hculties of a summer beset with poor attendance can be undeStood.
 This does not include the Federal league. It is estimated that the pur- chase and salaries of players for those eight clubs is in the neighborhood of $SO0,000. This would put the grand total of dollars taken away by ball players in the neighborhood of $37,- OOO,OOO
 Verify, the ball player is getting the cream of the gamel
 These figures were secured from the official report of Secretary John H. Farrell of the National Association of Minor League Clubs, combined with the unofficial estimates of men profes- sionally connected with the major leagues.
 Notwithstanding the falling off of attendance, said to be due to feeling of hard times attendant upon the war in Europe, bad weather and the wrangling of certain magnates, the salaries of the players have increased. Even the purchase prices have grown.

 When asked what disposition would be made of the suit of the Federal league against organized baseball, charging violation of the antitrust law, now pending before Judge Landis in Chicago. President Tener of the National league, acting as spokesman, said: The suit will be withdrawn"

Cincinnati, O., Dec. 22-Probably the most disastrous war that the baSeDall game has ever experienced came to close here tonight when treaty of peace between the Federal league and both parties to the national baseball agreement, better known as organized baseball, was signed.
 Two major league clubs Will change hands as the result of the bringing about of peace and two new faces will in the future Charles Weeghman, who has been president of the Chicago Federal league club, will purchase the controlling interest in the Chicago Ma tional league team from Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati. Phil Ball and his assistants who were connected with the St. Louis Federal league team gains control of the St Louis Ameri- can league club from Robert Hedges Cal .McDiamard, John E. Bruce and others who have long been connected with major league circles.
 All Jumpers Reinstated.
 The agreement gives immunity to all men who have jumped their con- tracts from both the major and minor leagues of organized baseball as well as all other Federal league players. All of them have been reinstated or made eligible to organized baseball.
 That there will be a wild scramble for some few of the best Federal league players was clearly indicated by a provision in the treaty that the Fed eral league. as a league, and which, insofar as actual baseball playing is concerned, ceases to exist, will assume all of the contracts of Federal league players.
 In this connection, rumors flew thick and fast here tonight regarding the fu- ture status of a number of Federal league players. One that would not down despite the lack of confirmation was that Benny Kauff of the Brooklyn Federal league team would be seen next spring in Giant uniform.
 Semi officially it became known that several former Federal players will be seen on the New York American league club.
 The agreement does not go into the distribution of any players and it was announced that the bars have been thrown down and that inasmuch as all are eligible those who are for sale will probably go to the highest bidder

YALEs SWIMMING OUTLOOK.
Prospects Uncertain Because of In
 eligibility of Many Candidates.

Prospects for the Yale swimming team are rather uncertain, owing to the number of men ineligible. There is a good deal of material in college. but most of the candidates are down in their studies and it is q question whether they will be able to compete.
 The schedule is exceptionally hard on account of the five meets at home and also five away. Previously there have been but five contests. A meet has been arranged with Harvard for the first time in three or four years and plans are under consideration for a match relay between the New York athletic club and the university team.
 several freshmen meets have been scheduled. Andover and Worcester academy are among them.
 Columbia and Pennsylvania seem to have the best prospects for the inter collegiate championship this year. Capt. Lee of Columbia has decreased his time in the 100 yard, while Noll- mers record-breaking performances speak for themselves. PennsyIvania has found a promising candidate in Watt. who bids fair to make trouble in the 100-yavd. Harvard swan sev- cral meets with other colleges last year and made a good showing
 Yale has lost, through graduation, eight men of last years championship
 team. including HcAleenan. intercol-
 leGate diving champion: T. Smith, plunge ttlehOlder; Capt. Summers.
 Hoadley. Ererton, NacLeish Marr and
 J. Gould who will prove a great loss
 in the 220yard. Alexander, who dis
 located his shoulder last year, will also
 be unable to compete. Those who arc
 left are: Capt. Schlact. in the 5O-yard and 100-yard. Ferguson, in tho 22O- yard; Landstreet, in the plunge, and Benjamin, in the dives R. Mayer,
 Chiffon, Jenks. Pusey. Dean. Howe and E. Hopkins are showing up well in the Swims, and Bright. Badger and Loeb are promising in the plunge. Scobey, 1 Hewitt and McHenry are doing well in the dives. Wilson. captain Of the 1912 and 1919 teams. has very kindly given his services as a coach for the divers.
 The relay team cannot be picked un- iii later in the season because of in- eligibility. Yale has had the relay championship for 12 consecutive sea sons, and a team up to the standard 1 of former wears is hoped for. The ] training table will start the first week i in January.
 1 In water polo the outlook is bright, ! with five men back zfrom last years 1 team, including BrOphy, J. Gait, Mil | Ter and Steiner, last years captain. ] ing up especially well are C. Gait goal and back: Kent, goal; Scobey and 1 karrar of last years squad, who are ] trying for forward and back positions and TOOle, forward. The defense is l a little weak. The first game is to be played three days after the vaca- | tiOn with the college of the city of 1 New York. A schedule of 10 games | has been arranged.

Chances Basketball Rules.

The following is a condensation of the important changes made in the basketball rules, which are in force this season:
 l. Roughing a player who is in the act of shooting gives opponents two free throws (goals also count if made)
 7. It is foul for a player to come in bodily contact with either of two players who are in a scrimmage, but he may snatch the ball away.
 5. Running with the baIl) A play CT who receives the ball while stand ing may, in throwing for goal, take one step and then jump, without foul ing. A player who changes his posi- tion without materially advancing the ball is not considered to be running with the ball. A player pushed by an opponent is not considered as advanc- ing the ball. When running he may stop as soon as possible" and then play the ball as though he had been standing still.

LeVinsky Wins Again.

When Jess Willard reads the news papers announcing the above, he calls his many managers together and tells them not to sign him up with a real fighter, like Battling Levinsky, says Dan Morgan, but to go into the high ways and byways and gather together all the lemons they can get. like Full ton, and that means, that the public will be well squeezed. How does it sound, Jess Willard defending his title against Dub Fulton? To the public it is a big laugh, but Willard and his crew think the public win stand for anything. If Willard would come out and sign up for a real bat tie with Battling Levinsky, it would benefit the boxing game, for the bat tier has whipped every heavyweight and is entitled to first chance at the squash champion. Now, Jess, keep away from the old mans home and give the public a run for their mon- ey, by signing up with Battling Le- whisky, who will give you $5,GOO the day that you have courage enough to step into the ring with the famous heavyweight, Battling Levinsky.
