Federal League May Be
Backer of Minor Circuit

OTTAWA. Ontario. Aug. 1o-Poss-
bility Of a new league to include
Rochester. Montreal. Ottawa. Toronto.
Hamilton. and London Is hinted in a
London paper.
The paper reports rumors Of q brand
new circuit in 1915 to be controlled by
the Federal League. II being alleged
that land Is under option in order to
build a plant and secure franchise In
the new league for London"
The circuit as proposed would include
Rochester and the five Canadian cities
and estimates a population of $50. 900 to
draw from. The paper. while making no
official announcement. says: This Is
not the first time that such an under
taking has been thought of by men in
tcrested In the promotion Of baseball In
Toronto and Montreal. and the idea OF
having Rochester In as well. as Presi
dent Chaplin. of the Hustlers. Is Of the
same opinion as McCaffrey and Lichten-

O'Day Explains

"My face may appear grumpy
and grabbed; / may have a dis
tant nature and desire to keep
to myself, but the dear public
does not know how to analyze
an umpire's face" said Hank
O'Day, who supplanted the late
Jack Sheridan as dean of base
ball umpires few days ago.
"A man may have the mobile and
gentle features of a schoolboy,"
continued Hank, "but after he
has squinted through a mask
for a quarter century his fea-
lures are bound to take on the
look of a troubled man. In an
average game of baseball an
umpire makes about 800 de-
cisions. A decision on every
ball pitched is necessary. In
seventy-seven games of n sea-
son, therefore, he must make
about 23,100 decisions.
"When you have stood in the sun
judging balls that come with
blistering speed or with tanta-
lizing curve or slowness, it is
no wonder that in twenty-five
years a mans face will become
contorted into an anxious and
sullen look. To tell you the
truth, your face almost freezes
that way. ] may have looked
severe and cross to the crowds,
but really while having my
hardest trouble with some
player l have had to laugh
quietly. The strain Of it will
alter an umpire's facial charac-
teristic but not his disposition,
if he is the right kind of a
man."

Another RumOr Has Team
Shifted in International

NEW YORK, Aug. 1o.-While It was
officially denied today that there was
any probability Of the Jersey City club
being transferred to New London. an
other rumor concerning the Interna-
tional League supplanted 1t. This was
to the effect that at the close Of the
present season the Harrisburg club
would be transferred back to Its old
home in Newark and the Jersey City
club would be placed in Harrisburg. 1t
was said that the financial obligations
OF the former Newark club practically
necessitated a return to the old home.

by a contract for specia! service aside
from the general contract of afreight-
ment. as in this case, is we'll settled
2. In making the contract for trans
portation, the means and terms used
are uniformly selected by the carrier
and not by the shipper. Any special
contract is ordinarily written on
printed blank prepared by the company
TO serve the purpose Of a receipt. II
is construed strictly against the COM
pany.
9. The parties were competent TO

The receipt OF the extra charges for
heating and issuing the receipt there

freezing the burden of proof was upon
the defendant to show that damage

By holding itself out as a carrier in
this respect, an initial carrier may as
sumo a legal obligation to receive and
| carry goods beyond it's own line, al
. though it does not have any actual
arrangement with the connecting lines.
Its liability therefor depends upon the
existence Of contract either express
or implied, and the implied contract
| may be shown by direct or circumstan-
| tial evidence.
5. 1t is immaterial in this case. who
owned the cars, or what kind of cars
happened to be in use in the circum-
stances. The contract was to heat
the cars in question and it was made
by the defendant in its own name
There was no agency disclosed or
pleaded. The blanks used were in
general use by the defendant and
| there is nothing in the contract or on
the forms used to indicate agency for
any other company. It must be re-
garded as the contract Of the defend
ant The jury found that there was a
breach of that contract. That the de-
PENDANT is liable for such breach is well
settled.
Motion and exceptions overruled.
