Detroit was first to announce plans
for a Donovan Day" for Wild Bill and
his Yankees. Joe Lannin of the Bos-
ton Red Sox was right behind. All
other American League club owners are
falling in with the idea. Wherever
Bill's team may finish, he is bound to

that the management will have to re-

National Changes Front.

During the last few days there has
been change in the attitude of the
National League toward the International
League in its present trouble. While the
National League at its meeting here "A
short time ago took no action toward
lending the international League any as
sistance, it is said that it now views
the situation i'll different light, and
within a short time it may be expected
that the National League will give per-
mission for the transfer Of the Jersey
City Club to the Bronx. where a number
of promoters stand ready to build a new
park and finance the project.
President Tener was to have met Presi-
dent Harry N Hampstead of the New
York club to talk over the Giants OBJ
lection to the invasion of the Bronx by
Barrow's league. but the interview did
not materialize. and will be held next
week some time.
The fact that most of the club owners
of the National League are kindly dis
posed toward the International League
may aid largely in overruling the objec-
ton Of the New York club to the project
President Barrow'S conference with Presi-
dent Tener Thursday gives the Inter
national League new hope that the older
league will offer assistance at the proper
time.
The delay in deciding about placing a
| Federal League club in the Bronx or
Newark is caused, it is understood. by
the fact that the Independent league is
having some trouble in obtaining a site
for a ball park in the Bronx. II is known
that Sinclair and Powers. who control the
floating Kansas City franchise, want to
locate their club in New York rather than
in Newark, and they are carrying OH
negotiations with this object in view.

Careful of His Diet.

The champion did no actual training
while on shipboard, but was careful of
his diet, and cut out liquor entirely. His
only exercise was in playing shuttle
board, but every day he was massaged
by Trainer Hagney. and Jack said that
he would begin real work for the fight
as soon as he landed in Mexico. So that
he would be supplied with fresh eggs
Jack took two dozen hens with him on
the steamer. and they will go with him
to his training camp. He was SO care
full of his eating that he made his own
pastry on the trip. and confined his
smoking to one cigar day.
For sport while on the voyage Jack
indulged in shark shooting. He bor-
rowed the captains rifle and shot two
dozen of the maneaters after they had
been hooked by the crew. When the
sharks were brought aboard they were
cut open and the sailors searched their
insides for wedding rings and other
trinkets. without result. Capt. Robin

NEW YORK, February 20.-The Fed

the Bronx or Newark is commanding
much attention from the officials of
the National Lea que. and it is said here
on good authority that there is a plan
on foot which may result in some sort
of a compromise before the base ball

would welcome a compromise. and
would also welcome the advent of the

to the story, because it is stated that
an emissary OF the National League

When l asked Miss Kate Adams of
Coulter house, a refuge home for
girls, if she would. answer the ques-
ton, ''Is there any solution to the
problem of prostitution" 1 frankly
admit I did not believe that any
woman could handle the subject in
the mastery style in which she has
handled it and with the breadth of
comprehension.
Sometimes have grown quite i'm
patient over WOmen's unwillingness
to discuss one of the most vital ques-
tons confronting the race. Even the
women assembled at the Women's
Legislative Congress SHE'D and tried
to silence women physicians who
wanted to warn them of the dangers
resulting from prostitution, and that
confirmed my opinion that much of
the existing evil does exist because
women refuse to open their eyes to it
and seem to think that modesty pre-
vents their frankly weighing and dis
cussing the subject that may, be-
cause of that same false mOdesty,
result in a marriage of unhappiness
and the bringing into the world of
children whose lives are blighted.
Miss Adams, however, has dis
cussed the question frankly, broadly,

about it:

RACING EXPERT
FAILS To PICK
MANY WINNIE rs
Crows Over Own Record But
His Figures Show That Fol-
lowing of His Tips Would
Have Been Costly.
BY Frank G. NIcnke.

NEW YORK. Jan. 14-Betting on
a horse race is an absolutely certain
losing proposition. A racing expert"
connected with one Of the New York
papers, makes this admission uncOn-
sciOusly while boosting himself as the
greatest racing "tipster" in America.
The expert" in question in review
ing his own labors for the year stated
that in S71 races ne had picked the
winner 27Z times. He stated. with a
showing of pride, that he had picked
more winners than any other "tipster'
in the country. He trOts out facts
and figures to show the truth of his
assertion.
Taking his statement at face value,
il will be seen that the best race tip
ster" ia the country would have lost
a Wad of money during the year had
ne bet on his own tips
Let's assume that you bet $40 on
every one of his tips. He passed out
ST. tips. That would have called for
outlay Of $S,11O. In the 81 starts
YOU would have been returned a win
ner 272 times. But how much would
you have won?
Taking the odds placed on 25 horses
which this expert tipped" we find
that the average odds was to ;.
Naturally, in making his selections,
tie expert" chose the horses that
looked like the best bets Usually he
selected the heavy favorite-the horse
that looked like a sure winner. And
whenever a horse looks like "A sure
winner the "bOOkies' won't lay any
sort of odds against the animal.
out of his % average tips the ma
jOrity Of horses were quoted at even
money Several were to l shots.
Some were quoted at 6 TO 3. and one
Overwhelming favOrites. were quoted
at only 1 TO 3. TOtalling all the odds
il makes 70 ; the average odds on
those % horses that this expert
chose Those 25 horses and the odds
represent pretty well, the type Of
horses that ne chose all year long
and the sorts of odds that prevailed
on his selections.
Now getting back to the main point:
Had you bet on all the horses that
were tipped" you would have won
272 times. That meant you would
have won SO on each horse, or a to-
tai of S3264 OF course. your stake
of $40 on each of the winning horses
would nave been returned. The re-
turned stake and your winnings would
have made a total Of $5,9S4 that you
got back for your outlay of SS,710.
In other words. had you wagered
$40 on every one of the horses that
the greatest racing "tipster" in the
land picked out you would have lost
during the year a total Of 50, 726-the
difference between the $S.71O that YOU
bet and the S5,OS4 that would have
been returned to you.
If the best ''tipster'' in America
tips you so that YOU lose S2,726
when laying only $40 on each horse
how much more do YOU think you
will lose If YOU follow the tips" of
some of those who aren't half as Eek
pert" As he?

GARY PROVES NO

SPEEDY QUINTET
Grant and Eager Bright Stars
of Contest Which is Won BY
Locals BY Sixty to Twenty
three Count.

Rapid fire team work and basket
shooting that counted, won the local
Y. NJ. .. A. basketball team the long
end of a lopsided score from a quintet
chosen from the starts of the Gary
association in the local ~ gymnasi-
um last night. The score was 60 to
%.
Although outweighed and playing
against men who have had years of
experience, The local five used team
work and systematic passing of the
ball in such a manner that the Gary
ties were completely dazzled. Grant
and Eager were easily the stars for
the home team, the formers ability
in covering the floor and passing and
the latter's accurate goal tossing being
responsible for a large share of the
baskets gathered by the winners.
The first half ended with the score
27 to s in favor of the locals. 1t was
20 minutes OF fast basket ball dished
up in the form of intricate plays, close
basket ball and fast and accurate
shooting. The locals were especially
fortunate in the manner in which
their various plays We're allowed full
fillment, the Gary players being swept
off their feet at times from the rapid
ity of local maneuveurs.
1t was Eager's first appearance with
the local Y NJ. G. a. He is a star
center of the Mishawaka high school
team. He will hereafter appear with
the Y. NJ. c. A. team in the remaining
Tits of the season. He copied high
honOrs for the evening in point of
basket shooting the score sheet at the
end of the mill showing IA field goals
to his credit.
Kriz and Heal, forwards. put up
the stellar performances for the Gary
five. The former garnered four field
goals while the other got five.
The game was free of rOughness
Only five fouls were called on play
ers of either side through the 40 min
utes of play. The Gary men were re-
sponsible for four OF those.
Coach Harper of NOtre Dame uni
versity was on hand to keep an eye
out for plays which might help his
band of collegiates to defeat the Y. NJ.
