CLAIM REUL.BACn VICTIM OF WAIVER
 RULE IN MAJORS

New ork, Feb. 22:-That Big Bi1l'' ReuIbach, the pitcher recently re- leased by Brooklyn, was the victim of the waiver rule of organized ball was the charge made yesterday by David L. F'utz, President of the Base ball Players Fraternity. Reulbach is also one of the officials of the or ganization, and it has been charged that because of his activityin the fra ternity's affairs he was turned loose by the Brooklyn club
 President Ebbets, however, empha- ticaIly denied last night that the pit cher's affiliations with the fraterni- ty' affairs had anything to do with his release. 'fThis season we must cut down our player limit to twenty one, men, said President Ebbets, and Manager Robison could see no room for Reu1bach with the prominent youngsters he has in his mind.
 Mir F'ultz cites the Reulbach case to support his argument that the Ma tionaI Commission should make the concession to the players that the fra ternity be notified whenever waivers are asked on a player. The waiver rule is now operated secretly among the club owners.

 the 1915 Worlds Series money I ex- pect to put on a big improvement When I say worlds series, I am trust ing Joe Wood and Vean eGregg will be all right for the coming season, and with Colins.~ Leonard, Shore and my self and Ruth and Cooper to fall in line sometimes, I cannot see any one else's club at all, unless it is the White Sox. They are sure to be there with lots of fight, now that Collins is with them.''

YALE FIVE BEATS
 PRINCETON TAKING
 LEAD FROM TIGERS

Princeton. Feb 22.-By a sensational rally Yale defeated Princeton at bas- ketPall here Saturday night and there by pulled the Tigers from first place in the Intereollegiate league The score was 21 to IS and Kinney had just tossed the final basket for Tale when time was up.
 > In the second half of the contest Princeton scored 13 points to Yale's 2, but the Tigers spent most of the first half warming up to their work, and meantime Yale had dropped IA points to 5 for the home team, and had vir- tually slowed the game away.
 Kinney. and Arnold were responsible for all but one goal of Ya1e's score, and ArnoId's nine foul goals counted substantially. Kinney scored the only field goals made for the New Haven team in the second half.
 The Tigers fought hard in the last fifteen minutes, and had reduced the score to 19 to IS when Pau1son shot a basket from the side of the court, which was ruled out as being from out of bounds. Kinney scored in the last second.

ARE ATTETL CELEBRATES
 8 ANNIVERSARIES TODAY

while his fellow countrymen are celebrating Washington's Birthday, Abraham Atten will obserYe three an- niversaries today. First, as a patri- o+to Anardoan. the little Hebrew will do obeisance to the memory of the pa- ternal anceseor of his country Sec oDd Atie will celebrate his own birth day. the thirty-hrst since he arrived in this world by way of San Francisco. I.a.st-and this is a cource of grief to the once mighty scrapper-today marks the third anniversary of that fatal day at Vernon when he lost the feath- erweight championship of the world to Johnny Kilbane-
 It was 8 few months after his un- fortunate session with Kilbane that Atteu met Oliver Kirk in St. Louis, and after fighting six rounds, refused to continue and declared he was through with the ring f-o-r-e-v-e-r-r! Abie's swan song was very pathetic, and it brought tears of anguish to the eyes of boxing fans all over America. Able never fight again? Boo-hoo! But, then, forever isn't such 8 long time, as
 measured by pugi1ists and prima don nas In Abfe's case it was less than four months until he was back in the ring.
 In his prime Atte11 had about as much cunning as was ever exhibited, and he wis full of tricks as a fox. He probably made at least $20, 900 a year while he held the title. His own declaration at St. Louis that he was l all in as a fighter seems to have been borne out by his queer subsequent I ring proceedings. for his showing has
 been very disappointing to his old ad-
 mirers.
 The old boss of the featherweights
 was a master of speed, which seems
 all the more remarkable when it is l considered that he began his career as
 a messenger boy. In his early days as
 a tighter, when he was only sixteen,
 he had a punch that stretched most of
 his opponents out for the count in one or two rounds. Later he depended more on speed and skill than on his
 punch, being very careful about his
 valuable hands
 Atten made his first ring appearance
 when he was fifteen, at the club in the
 back room of the San Francisco sa-
 loon conducted by Alec Gregga1ns, the
 o1d-time six-foot middleweight. The little Jewish messenger boy won his
 battle with one punch.

 MAY BE COACH
 OF YALE LINE

New Haven, Feb. 22-Much spec ulation surrounds the visit of Fudge Heffe1inger, the. former Yale football star, to this city last week. HeffeI- finger is reported as having come east from his Minneapolis home to, look after his business interests and that his talk with Captain Wilson here was solely informal in nature. Football men here, however, believe that lief fe1finger's mission was an important one and that some news is forthcom- ing that will have a great effect on Yale football.
 Hefflefinger may be given full charge of the. development of rush line at Yale next fall. No official statement has been issued regarding the possible acquisition of Heffelfin- ger in that capacity, but it is known that Head Coach Hinkey and Captain Wilson would be eager to bring him here.
 Itis reported that Heff1finger talk ed the matter over with Captain Will of discussion will be the means of the former star assuming the responsi- bilities of line coach at a good round salary. Captain Wilson could not be reached last night to either confirm or deny the report.
 Whenever discussion arises over Yale's poor showing against Harvard last fall the blame it attached to the Blues notably weak rush line. Ar Euments have been advanced in de- fense of Hinkey in which it was shown that the silent coach did not have the material to work with.

ST. LOUIS BROWNS
 TO GET HOME RUN BAKER
Connie Mack Denies Story That Wes- terners Have First Call On
 SluQqer

New York, Feb. 22-It was learn ed that any chance, the Yankees might have of signing ''Home Run. Baker of the Athletics. at the big salary he demanded was annu1led by. the fact that Col, Bob Hedges, of the St. Louis Browns, has the first call on the s1ugging third basenan's service from Manager Connie Mack of the Athletics.
 The St. Louis clubs prior claim was made some time ago by Col. Hedges when he learned that Mack had de- cided to cut down the expenses of his club and would not meet the new demand for more salary which Baker and some of the other Athletic play CTS had made.
 Baker has admitted that his deci- sion to quit the Athletics was because Mack could offer him no greater sal ary. As Worlds Champions last year, the Athletics finished the sea- son with 8 deficit. It was because he decided to build up new and cheaper club that Mack turned loose such stars as Collins, Bender, Plank and Coombs. They were all high priced men. Baker, after realizing what a big advance Collins had se- cured by being sold to Chicago. de- cided that he would quit the game, rather than play for the salary which he received from the Athletics dur ing the past few seasons, which is said to have been $4,5oO-
 Col. Hedges, during the last meet ing of the American League here, was approached by the new owners Of the Yankees with a view of obtaining some of the St. Louis players Col.
