before the European war is over the Feds will stop some other financial ctatter. A jug holds no more than you can get into it.
 Minor leagues had an exceptionally bad year in 1914. They are going to have as bad or worse in 1915, as sure as guns are made of iron. The New England league and the Eastern asso- citation, formerly called the Connecticut league, did not make enough money last year to attract the attention of John D. Rockefeller or the sanctimoni- ouS reforners in congress.
 These leagues did not make money for the very simple reason that enough fans did not go to the games. There was no internal reason for the decline in receipts. The fans were willing to accept the class Of baseball to which the population of the cities entitled them, but When you ain't got no money you needn't come around" and the fans didn't have the money to spend on amusements.
 To attempt to galvanize the pocket books of the New England fans by telling them that they are to patronize a subsidiary of the Federal league strikes us as a hard way to make a living. Brother Gilmore supports that view by naively stating that he expects local capitalists in every town to sup port the team which will be supplied with casL-offs from the Federal league

A LONG WAIT.
President Ebbets of Brooklyn Club Does Mot Think Decision Will Be Rendered in Anti-Tru Suit Before Opening Of the Season.

Contrary to the impression that has gone out, baseball men are not look ing for any early settlement of the baseball suit filed against organized baseball by the Federal league. Pres ident Charley Ebbets of the Brooklyn club, who has returned from Chicago. does not believe a final decision will be rendered before the opening of the baseball season, and it is very prob able that the case will drag along in the courts far into the summer.
 As a consequence, plans for the training trips of big league clubs are not being held up or influenced by the pending decision. Club owners are going right ahead with their original plans, and the teams will begin to drift south late in February as usual. They feel confident that even if Judge L.ardis should decide against them on some points their organization will not receive a serious blow.
 Organized baseball was given 2l days in which to file it's answer to the charges made in afffdayits introduced by the Feds last week. When these are filed. if Judge Laudis does not then made a decision, the Feds in their turn will have another 21 days in which to file answers. That will carry the case into the middle of March and then, unless the suit should be thrown out of court, an appeal can be taken to the United States supreme court by either side if the decision is not satis factory tO

DATES FINALLY SETTLED
 FOR COLLEGIATE SWIMMING.
League to Abandon 50 Yard Race Union and Amherst Still Remain Out of the Fold.

In spite of the fact that several meets in the intercollegiate swimming series have been held, tne final dates for the remaining contests have been settled as a result of a lively meeting.
 Yale had endeavored to swim Colum- bia in January. but the Blue and White could not arrange a. date, and the Ellis then insisted that Columbia, forfeit. The same held true between Yale and the University of Pennsylvania. The matter was thTashed out and meets ar ranged for February, Yale's contention being thrown out on a majority vote.
 Yale will swim Columbia on Feb. 13 at New Haven and the University of Pennsylvania on Feb. ? at Philadel- phia, immediately following the Yale Princeton meet at Princeton on Feb. 26. Yale is confident that it's all around team can take on both colleges in sue ceSsion and more than hold it's own.
 After long debate it was finally de- cided that the league would abandon the outlaw 50 yard race. which had passed the league last year. This race was planned for colleges not repre- Sented in the league, and none of the colleges in the association was to be permitted to enter men. The colleges will be immediately notified of the chaneS in the policy of the league.
 Amherst and Union colleges are peti- tioning the league to admit them to their fold. but the league decided to stand firm in demanding that these colleges form a water polo team first. It is probable that both of these col leges would be immediately admitted if they had a polo team.
 In the meets that have been held so far this season the College of the City of New York has lost to all the other colleges in the league, Columbia, Yale, Princeton and the University of Penn sylvania, therefore stand even in the standing of the league, with the City college lads at the bottom of the list.
 4 pecuHarity of the schedule as ar ranged calls for the Princeton Penn sylVania meet to be held after the in teFcoIlegiates, which will be held on March , at New Haven. The two col leges could not arrange for a meet ex- cept on March Ii.

intercollegiate Basketball Standing-
 Cornell Ranks Second.

After two weeks of mid year exam nations the collegs of the intercOlli- giate basketball league enter upon the second lap of the championship series, with Columbia, and Dartmouth clash ing at Columbia on Friday, and Penn sylvania taking Cornell at Ithaca. Princeton is till in the lead, though the Tigers are but half a game ahead of Cornell. The Tigers are considered to have Q slight edge on the Tthacans, however, inaSmuch as they have a clean slate, while CornelPs record is marred by 9 defeat by the Ellis.
 Cornelrs victory over Yale in their return game last week dropped the Blue into third place, the Red and White slipping into second position. Pennsylvania's double defeat has prac- tically put the Quakers out of the running. They have played half of their schedule with but a lone victory over Columbia. The standing:

 United States Steel declined to its new minimum of 9S soon after the opening. but made partial recovery, after which it manifested no definite trend until announcement was made of the higher prices scheduled by the Carnegie Steel company. It then made steady upward progress, selling at 40, and carrying the entire list to it's prices of the day. An interesting ru- nor heard in connection with United States Steel but which lacked con- fiI7nation in official quarters. was that a Dutch syndicate had sold a large block of StS common stock to New York bankers. The selling price, ac- cording to rumor, was a triie better than it's new minimum.

PLANT WILL FURNISH CASH
 TO FIGHT FEDS.
New Loudon's Wealthy Club Owner Assured Baseball Leaders That He Will Finance Another Circuit Equal to Gilno7e's.

If James A. Gilmore, Robert B. Ward and other Federal league men decide to launch q new minor Circut embracing eight cities in the Eastern association and the New England league they will encounter tremendous opposition.
 Morton F. Plant. multi-millionaire and owner of the New London club which Is done for his amusement. has assured baseball leaders that he will finance another circuit to parallel the one Gilmore and his friend are trying to organize. Mir. Plant loves baseball and he freely admits that there is only one way to govern the sport. He is a. strong advocate of the national agreement and the system of graduat- ing players from the small leagues to the majors.
 If the Feds proposed minor league inNades Bridgeport, New Haven Hartford and Springfield Mir Plant promises to furnish the money to operate the present organized baseball franchises in those cities so that the Feds will be forced 10 contend with conflicting dates. In view of the past experiences of the Eastern association it is q fOregOne conclusion that if MT Plant is compelled to fight, the Feds plan will involve somebody in heavy financial losses.
 The hostile attitude of Mir. Plant did not become known until Sunday evening and as a result organized baseball nien are jubliarC. They were anxious to know whether the Feds would proceed with their scheme to invade New England in the face of such powerful influences.
 James H. ORourlSe president of the Eastern association and T. H. Murnane president of the New Eng land league, sent word to the National commission that their clubs would remain loyal to the cause These off cials have been preparing for the in tended Fed invasion for several weeks and are confident of success.

Contracts must be in the hands of players before February 1, or they will Joe free agents. Bridges has done the greater part of the catching for the Pittsfield club for the past two sea sons. Zeller has taken this step be- cause of the reduction in the salary limit of the Eastern association from $2,500 to $2,000. He did not want to ask Bridges to work for less money, and gave him his freedonl-at least, that is the explanation his friends are giving out.

Heber Circuit Court last week tried
Charles Cowden, charged with the
murder of Claude Spence. and sen.
fenced him to twenty.one years in
the penitentiary. The case was taken
to Heber Circuit Court from this
county on change Of venue and Cow
den was defended by Smith & Wat
kins Of this city.
Spence lived four miles west of
Harrison, and disappeared in No.
vember 1913 without his neighbors
knowing anything about his inten.
tions. Their suspicious were arous-
ed when Cowden moved on 70 the
Spence place and reported that he
had authority from Spence to occupy
it as Spence had gone to Little Rock.
Later Investigations were made by
officers and by brother OF Spence
who lives in Oklahoma, A reward
OF $500 was offered by citizens of
Harrison and Boone county for the
recovery Of Spence, dead or alive
Cowden then led searchers TO a
place where the bones Of Spence were
