YALE CREWS DRIVEN
 HARD BY NfCKALuS
Since the English Coach Has Taken
 Charge.

Since Guy Nickalls, Yale's English crew coach, took charge of the Yale oarsmen two weeks ago he has rush ed the training with the races of the first and second eights against Uni versity of Pennsylvania in mind. No Yale squad has before had as much outdoor work before mid March as this year. Nickalls has given it an average of eight miles daily, and be- their daily workout will total ten miles.
 Although the water has been rough and the oarsmen have therefore been compelled to pull a low stroke be- cause of the high waves, three varsity and one freshmen eight have been on the harbor daily. Both English and American built boats have been used since outdoor practice started, but the varsity eight will TOW the race at Philadelphia seated in a new Eng sonally supervised and saw built by the English expert, Phelps, during Jan uary. The boat has just been shipped, and it's arrival is expected next week. 4t will be immediately rigged and used in practice by the Yale eight a week before it departs for Philadel- phia.
 All the shells that are being used now have the thole-pin rig. Nicka1ls is completely committed to this and the Yale officials agree that this style start in the race against Harvard last year. New English oars. ordered in January from Norris, have arrived, These will be used instead of the sweeps usually ordered from Shea of Springfield.

leagues and college ranks Thomas Gilmore, new secretary Of the Federal league, has rounded up statistical matter on the heretofore unknowns and in the eastern office of the Federal league it has been explained why sev eral ambitious youngsters believe they have playing power ent1tl1ng them to rank with the established stars of the Feds.
 The pennant winning Indianapolis club has half a dozen youngsters in Valdosta, Ga. who have been setting fast pace for Bennie Kauff, Fred Falkenberg and others whose deeds assure them permanent berths. John Lawrence Strands, a Chicago youth, who was with the Worcesters in the New England league last season, is one of the Indianapolis recruits as an in fielding prospect. He has played third base and the outfeld in four seasons as a professional.
 Gilbert A. Whitehouse. once with the Boston Nationals as a catcher. came to the Indianapolis Feds as an outfelder. He is only 21 years old and was sec ond in the New England league last season as batsman, amassing an aV- craze of .344.
 Another player of the same surname is with the Federal league champions as pitcher. He Is Charles Evis WhitehOuse of Nation. H., who is just 20 years old and six feet tall. White house is a left handler whose most mo- table feat is that of winning three games in four days while in the 1lli- nois league.
 Emil Huhn, who was with the Seat tie (Wash.) club last season as a first baseman and catcher, is one of the In- dianapolfs finds of the present train ing period. Fred Trautman of Bycy- rus, O., right handed pitcher is an other of Phillips discoveries. Traut- man was with Appleton in the Wiscon- sin-Illinois league last year. Another youthful recruit with the league cham pions is Joseph E. Potter, who voted for the first time last year. He was with the Gallon (Ohio) team last sea- son and has had only one season of professional experience.
 Joe Tinker's Chicago Whales, run nersup in the pennant race last sea- son, have added some Sprightly lads, several of them as a result of Tin kerfs occasional jaunts into the minor and college fields last season. One of the recruits, Jimmy Smith, has shown so well at shortstop in practice at Shreveport, La., that Tinker has con- to permit the 19 year old infielder to play regularly in his accustomed posi- ton. Bill McGawan, another former DuQuesne university player was rounded up by Tinker. He has also played semi professionally with the Houtzdale (Pa-) team at second base. Baumgartner, right handed hitting and throwing outfielder, has had only semi pro. experience in Cincinnati and is 23 years old. Guy Beard, a semi pro, pitcher from Princeton, H., is now 8 Whale and showed finely.
 Baltimore, finally equipped last sea- son with every known quality except ing talisman to ward off injuries to players, has balanced it's array with a seasoned pitcher in Chief Bender and obtained Frank Owens a deDendahIe backstop, to aid in the pennant hunt. Of the unknoWns now at Fayetville, N. C., John c. McCandless of Oakmount, Pa, is attracting the attention of Otto Knabe and all the Terrapin stars An other youth who has shown well in

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET APATHETH.
Dealings Were Light and the Price
 Movement Unusually Narrow.

New York, March 15.-Extreme apathy characterized today'S market the price movement unusually narrow session, dealings being very light and shares reflected frmness, holding frac- tionally over last weeks close. Spec ialties were again subjected to pool: manipulation, but the utter failure tC enlist public interest in these issues was followed by a moderate reatction
 The several markets for foreign exchange were comparatively dull. Re mittances on Lcndon were inclined tc harden until 8 large amount of com- mercial bills came into the market Private sales of the new German wal notes imparted a frmer tendency to marks. Conservatice estimates of the amount of these taken by American investor range from S15,000,000 to S20,000, ,000.
 Another gold engagement of $2,500, 900 from Canada was reported and more of the metal is expected from the same source in the course of the week Rumors of additional loans to foreign interests, including Brazil, were cur rent. From present indications it is altogether improbable that our bank CTS will engage in South American fi- nancing for some time to come.
 Record merchandise exports fol the past week, the largest in the his tory or this port, surface betteTment in the general European situation and a lull in Mexican aairs were helpful to the extent of checking bearish op- erations. Publication of the British order designed to restrict German commerce occasfoned some comment because of it's possible effect on this country's foreign trade.
 There were further infanible indi- cations of a pause in western busi- ness, such as 8 decline on tonnage movements and a falling off in pur- chases of general merchandise. Banks in the west are unusually strong in their reserve holdings and no change from present easy rates is expected before the end of the first quarter ot the year.
 London's markets were active and firm, the reported success of the British troops in France contributing largely toward the improvement Americans also manifested a frme1 tendency abroad
 Total sales of stocks amounted to 129. .5O0shares.
 Bonds were irregular on more fu- tIre selling, chiefly of General Pacific 1st nd Northern Pacific and South ern Pacific issues. Total sales pa1 value, aggregated $1,75O.0o0.

COLLEGE MEN IN
 SWIMMING TANGLE,
Three Cornered Tie and Protest by Quakers Present a Pretty MuddIe.

All kinds of difficulties have pre- sented themselves to the Intercollegi- ate Swimming association as a result of the victory Of Pennsylvania over Princeton in their dual meet recently.
 The victory puts the Quakers in a triple tie for first place with Columbia and Yale, but if the protest which Pennsylvania has made to the league against the disqualification of Shyrock in the meet with Columbia is allowed Pennsylvania will get the champion ship with title clear, while Yale will be second and Columbia third.
 Yale, however, has taken the stand, backed by Columbia and the College of the City of New York, that there is to be no review of the referees de- cision of the Pennnsylvania-C Columbia embroglio, and, it is asserted, has even gone so far as to threaten to with draw from the association if the pro- test is upheld.
 The Quakers, on the other hand, are just as ready to secede if it is not up held. As counter proposition, how ever, Pennsylvania is willing to let the ESEyrock disqualification stand, provid- ed Vollmer, the Columbia swimmer, with whom Shyrock collided, also is disqualified
 This would make Lee of Columbia the winner, and Pennsylvania would take second place. There would be no third and the point score of the meet would be 26 to 26. This would give Pennsylvania the title with three vic tories, no defeats and one tie, and Yale would be second and Columbia third.
 This plan, however, is not agreeable to Yale. and the Blue will stand by its constitutional rights to a play-off for the championship.
 Again there are difficulties, however. By the league rules the date for the play-off must be set on the day of the individual championship. This was last Friday. Furthermore, the constitution provides that the pIay-off must be held on or before the last day of March. The league will not meet until March 2S, and there will be only three days in which to hold the play-offs. In order to settle the championship, it will be necessary to have round robin tournament among the three con- tenders, because no tank is available wherein all teams could swim at one and the same time without the neces- sity of holding heats.
 After all the red tape incidental to strengthening out this tangle is un- raveled, it will be necessary for the various colleges to get the consent of their various faculty committees to the extra meets.
 Both Yale and Pennsylvania, it is understood, have already received in formal faculty assurances that they can take part in such meets if they are held.

Decision Will Be Rendered Wednesday
In Fight Between Federal League and Kansas City Club Over the Transfer of Franchise-It is Claimed That the Franchise Was Not Legally Forfeited at New York Meet ing.

Chicago, March 16-After listening to final arguments today by attorneys for both sides in the fight between the Federal league and the Kansas City club over the transfer of the latter's s franchise to Newark, N. J., Judge Jesse A. Baldwin in the circuit court an- nounced that he would take the case under advisement until Wednesday morning, when he would render a de- ciSion.
 Our contention is that the franchise of the Kansas City club was not legal Iy forfeited at the meeting of the board of managers in New York city Oct. 28, 1914" said John M. Zane. the at torney representing the Kansas City club, in his argument asking that the temporary injunction issued Feb. 70 restraining the Federal league from transferring the Kansas City club franchise be made permanent
 This meeting was illegal because 1t was not held in January, as the artl- cles of the league provide continued Mr. Zane. Secondly, it was illegal because MT. Madison, president Of the Kansas City club, was not allowed to take any part in the meeting of the board of managers, although ne was recorded as present.
 The franchise agreement which aI- lowed the league to dispose or the franchise of any club upon default or payment was never accepted by the hdnSdS ClIy CluD. l 4LA6 d6L CcAiCA( HlAcO states that the franchise of the club may be forfeited by majority vote of the board of managers. The other side has never produced any evidence to show that this action was taken.
 Tn the Federal leagues suit against organized baseball now pending before Federal Judge Landis, the Kansas City club was asked by the league to sign petition of intervention as one of the constituent members of the league. This petition was signed and presented among others to Judge Landis. This is practically an admission on the part of the league that the Kansas City club is one of its members

We bought the franchise and that's all there Is to it. said Pow CTS. Tt is up to the league to settle any wrangle over the Kansas City club. We are not in the least per turbed over the outcome of the court action, and have not ordered any slowing up of the work of construct ing our new park at Harrison.
