NO CONTRACT JUMPERS
 IN FEDERAL RANKS.
Eastern Office of Outlaw League Issues
 Statement.

Federal league officials, including James A. Gilmore, president, Robert B. Ward, vice president, and William E. Robertson of Buffalo, constituting the executive committee of the inde- pendent circuit, insist that recent events in the baseball war have made it possible for them to count upon at least one faction in organized baseball to hurl the boomerangS which assure the ultimate triumph of the Feds.
 In the eastern office of the Federal league a statement has been given out in which the executive committee de- clared that no player enlisted with the Federal league had jumped an actual contract. The statement continues:
 Tactics which bring discredit to the players and promoters of baseball have been used in several instances since the Federal league suit has been in the hands of the court. One specific charge against the Federal league was that of signing Charlie Deal of the Braves, but James E. Gaffney, president of the Braves, declared that he had given Deal permission to go where the play CT could better himself. MT. Gaffney admitted that he had no hold on Deal under legal or baseball law.
 This widely neralded arraignment of the Federal league was thus dis posed of as unfounded by a man in organized baseball who had the temer- ity to speak his mind along common sense and honest lines. Specific in : stances of inducing players to break contracts and put themselves in posi- ton for other breaches of actual law have been provided by organized base ball in the cases of Walter Johnson Ray Caldwell, Ivy Wingo and Pol Pe-ritt
 "The aggressiveness of the Fedora, league will not be turned into such channels as those followed by organ ized baseball. After every bit of am- munition has been exhausted by or ganized baseball in trying to uphold that might is greater thar right ir this controversy, there will be a per- manent place for the Federal league along the lines of business decency ir dealing with the affairs of the nationa game

Game Tonight Decides Championship
Yale and Princeton Will Battle for Supremacy in nterco egiate Basketball League-Deadlock Tie for First Place for Three Weeks-Darmouth Has Been Unable to Win One Game in the Race.

Princeton and Yale still neck and neck for the lead in the intercolle- giate basketball league race, will set tie the question of supremacy in an all decisive game tonight when the pair meet in New Haven. It will not be the last game of the year for eith- CT team, but each is equally sure of winning it's final encounter so that to- nights game will without question decide the title holder By defeat ing Pennsylvania while Princeton was trouncing Dartmouth on Saturday. first place, a deadlock which neither team has been able to break for three weeks. Each has won and lost two games.
 Cornell assured itself of at least a tie for second place in the league standing by defeating Columbia at Ithaca, on Friday. The Ithacans finish ed their season Monday night when they faced Dartmouth at Ithaca. Co., lumbia by reason of a bad reversal of form, will find worse lodgment than it has ever had in the league since it was organized. Fourth place is the best the team from New York can get and it looks as if it will finish the sea- son with only an even break. but IL can hardly be expected to defeat the all powerful Tiger five when the two meet at Princeton on Friday.
 Pennsylvania brought it's season to an end in the game with Yale, and has only three victories out of ten starts to it's credit. The Quakers beat Dartmouth twice and Columbia once. That is. the extent of their prowess as conquerors. Dartmouth is the most unfortunate team that ever played in the league and there is little prospect that it will win a game in it's seasons work. It meets Cornell and Yale this week and defeat in each game seems a foregone conclusion. Dartmouth has eight defeats in eight starts as it's un- enviable record.
 McNichol of Pennsylvania, with his full card in, has scored 116 points for his team and the chances are that he will return the top individual scorer of the year. although Brown, the Cornell forward. with 1G3 points for g games, may have another of his

eating influences make their presence felt between now and the next meet ing of the league, to be held some time at the end of this month.
 As was expected, Pennsylvania en- tered a formal protest agains the dis qualification of T. M. Shyrock, the Pennsylvania swimmer, in the recent The Quakers voiced their feelings through H. K. Marcy, the president of the association, who demanded that the league take immediate action on the protest. By everything the decision of the referee who disqualified Shyrock for swimming over the Columbia star, the league could make Pennsylvania the title holder for the year. and leav- ing the standing as it is Pennsylvania, Columbia and Yale would be tied for first place.
 In any event. Yale suffered to lose by the granting of the protest and took firm stand against the QuakerS. For three hours. it is said, the debate lasted. with Pennsylvania being cham pioned by Princeton. while Columbia, Yale and the College of the City of New York presented a solid battle front. The debate resolved itself into a series of threats by Yale on the one hand that it would withdraw if the protest was voted on, and by PennSy1- vania that it would withdraw if it was not voted on. Oil was poured on the troubled waters by a resolution tabltng the protest until a meeting to be held later. E. H. Edinger of Columbia, sec retary of the league. would not admit or deny that trouble was impending nor would he discuss the meeting when questioned. It was noted, however, that relations all around were strained at the meeting Friday night.

good evenings and turn off 16 or IS points for the one chance against Dartmouth. That would put the Cor nellian in front. These two are so far ahead of the field that they are alone in the fight for high honors. McNichors huge total was made pos sible by 92 foul goals, for in the whole season he has scored only 12 baskets. Brown on the other hand, has 27 bas- kets to his credit and leads the field in scoring from the floor.
 Benson of Columbia, is third with 90 points, but Arnold of Yale is only two points behind him and as the Ellis have two games to play to the Columbia's s one it is reasonable to presume that Yale will take third place. Winship of Dartmouth has fifteen point lead over Haas of Princeton, for fourth and should be able to maintain it.
 Winship is the possessor of the poor est defensive record in the league with IS goals against him. Benson of Co., lumbia. Pelletier of Dartmouth, Wal lace of Pennsylvania, and Taft of Yale have each allowed their opponents to score r baskets.

BENNlE KAUFF MAY
 JUMP FEDERAL CONTRACT
Speedy outfelder Considered a Sec
 ond Ty Cobb.

Bennie Kauff, outfelder of the In- dianapolis club and the all around star of the Federal league, within the last week has made overtures to John Me Graw with the idea of joining the Giants.
 Should the New York club find it advisable to make a fight for Kauff, the legal battle will not devolve upon the New York management, but osten- sibly upon the Indianapolis club of the American association, from which Kauf jumped. After he has been sign ed by his old club Kauff will be sold or traded to the Giants. Jack Hen dricks, manager of the Indianapolis American association club, some time ago asserted that he had arranged with McGraw for dicker that would hold good in the event Bennie made the flop back.
 I<auff has been referred to as a sec ond Ty Cobb, but such a comparison is rather too enthusiastic. However, there is no denying that Bennie last season developed into one of the fast est and best hitting outfielders in the business, and his addition to McGraw's S staff would make the Giants pennant hopes considerably brighter.

HUSTON TIES MlLBURN
 FOR SIXTH PLACE
In Class A Amateur Billiard Tourna- -
 ment for National Championship.

Philadelphia, March S.-Corwin Illus ton of Detroit today won his first game of the Class A amateur billiard tour nament for the national championship, defeating E. l.. Milburn, Minneapolis, 400 to 206. Huston gathered a high run of 71 and averaged : 43-51. Mil burns highest run was P and his av- craze 6-50.
 Huston's victory gives him a tie with NIilburn for sixth place in the tournament, each having lost four games and won one. Milburn's only remaining match is with Lord, the young Chicago player while Huston has to play Gardner, the present title holder.
 Milburn had the lead today with two runs of IA and d P in the first F in nings, when Huston, with a brilliant display of masse, cushion and straight carom shots, made his run or Il in the 18th inning. He retained the lead then obtained until the end of the game, gathering runs of A. 39 and g, all better than his previous high run rec ord. Milburn, on the other hand, slowed d decided slump. In many at temptS his direction was good, but his judgment of speed exceedingly poor. In the 30th inning he lost a point because he missed both balls.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
FAIRLY ACTIVE MARKET.
Stocks Made Further Progress Toward
 Higher Levels,

New York, March S.-Stocks made further decided progress towards higher levels today on a fairly large volume of business, some of which was believed to represent investment inquiry. The new week began with numerous indications of general trade improvement, particularly in the steel and allied industries. AdviceS from the middle west pointed to greater activity at leading manufacturing cen ters and the United States Steel cor poration was reported to have in creased it's output to 75 per cent. of capacity
 Forecast of the steel corporation S thrilled tonnage which will be issued on Wednesday, suggest a gain of not less than 200, 900 tons over February, which in turn showed an increase of 412,000 tons over last December. Steel, with several of the leading railway is- sues and Amalgamated Copper. led the movement throughout the session Realizing for profits caused some minor recessions in the later dealings, but net gains of one to two points were the rule.
 Coppers and the usual miscellaneous group of specialties were put forward at odd intervals, the rise in the metal shares being attended by reports of large exports. Specific reasons accom- panied the rise of certain stocks, not ably Canadian Pacific, which was strong in London and New Haven, which showed a pronounced decrease in it's deficit for January. Stocks and bonds of the several railroads com prising the Gould group were active at higher prices, presumably in anti cipation of favorable developments at tomorrow's meeting of the Missouri Pacific shareholders
 Apart from vague peace rumors, the foreign situation was not a factor in the days events. Foreign exchange was at standstill in the absence of any immediate sailings for Europe, but a fair amount of business was reported in the new German war notes. Grain markets were strong on the large ex- port demand. The government crop report showed a decrease of 2.07 per cent. in farm reserves of grain.
 Bonds were strong. despite further extensive selling for foreign interests. Total sales, par value. were S2;5 15, 900.
 Panama coupon 3s advanced 3-4 per cent. on call.

BAKER STANDS BETWEEN

Mack Has Big Task to Fill the Va cant Coes of the Wonderful Ma machine,

If ever one player stood between
