Of which $4,000 will be taken the first
year. the same the second and $1,000
the third. to reimburse the Yankees
for sending back the $1,000 the Feds
advanced him.
The management Of the New York
club considers itself entitled to { ID

A. A. u. Settles
N. VAC. Trouble

The trouble between the New York
Athletic Club and the Amateur Ath-
Union promises to be amicably set
tied because Of the latter's backdown
In the stand they took because certain
Winged Foot swimmers entered ths
races connected with the Sportsmcn's
Show In the Garden and then failed
to appear.
The A. A. u. lifted the ban they
placed on the N. Y. A. c. swimmers
yesterday. but the n. Y. A. c. Athletlc
Committee true to its promise. voted
to recommend to the Board of Gov
ernors. which meets on Tuesday nex..
to withdraw Its membership from ths
metropolitan branch of the A. Al
The n. Y. A. c. didn't know, tho
ban would be lifted on its swimmers
and took action in complete Ignorance
Of what the Registration Committee
Of the A. A. Y. was doing. The latter
committee says it's backdown was
due to the receipt Of correspondence
that put a new light on the case.
In lifting the suspensions the
Registration Committee took a rap at
the n. Y. A. G. officials for withhold
ing the correspondence, which was
dated Dec. go and 80. After saying It
deplored the action Of the New York
A. q. In the matter. II continued:
"The committee believes its decision
as rendered Monday night was cor
rect until the correspondence, CT
which the committee had no knowl-
edge. was presented yesterday"
When Matthew Halpin was In

Rube Marquard Intends
To Pitch for BrOOkfeds

iyn Federal League Club not 90 long
ago. Marquard also informed Vice
President Ward that he was not
under any contract with the Giants
and had no fear of any suit that tho
New York Club would bring against
him.
A deal may be completed In a few
days between the Chicago Federal
League Club and the Brookfeds. Leo
Magec. the boy manager of the Brook
lyn team. received a telegram from
Joe Tinker. manager Of the Chicago
team, yesterday, Offering to give An
infielder to the Brookfeds for Danny
Murphy. the former captain Of the
Philadelphia Athletics. Magee wired
Tinker that he had no intention of
| parting with Murphy. but would give
three players to the Chicago Club for
Claude Hendrix. the former Pitts.
burgh pitcher. Hendrix Is one of the
best pitchers now performing in the
Federal League. and. although there
] seemed little hope OF Magee grabbing
him. a deal will probably be nxed NJ
shortly between the two managers.
During the course Of the day Mages
got into communication with Polly
Perritt, the former st. Louis pitcher
over a long distance telephone II
Pittsburgh. Perritt informed the bo,
manager that under no circumstance
would he jump back to organized
baseball. Perritt signed to pitch fo
the Pittsburgh Feds last Saturday y
after nrst being kidnapped by Nil
ier HuKgins. manager OF the Cardi
nails. and then by Rebel Oakes. leAde
Of the Pittsburgh Club.
In the morning Maxce paid his srs

Cost of Stopping a Train.-In the
campaign which the Ohio railroads
have been making for higher passen-
ger rates in that state all kinds of
statistics have been filed with the leg
islative committee, relates the Wall
Street Journal. Probably the statis-
tics which deal with train stops, filed
by President Willard Of the B. & O.,
are among the most interesting. This
memorandum asserts that 1t costs
from $1.35 to s1.S5 to stop a passen-
ger train at a station on the Ohio
roads, or an average Of about $50 a
stop. In other words, with a train
making II stops there would be cost
to the railroad of $27.50 for the start
ing and stopping alone. Among the
items entering into the cost Of stop
ping a train the most important Is
coal, as when train Is stopped the
airbrakes are applied and the coal is
used to generate the steam which
congresses the air. There is q great
wear and tear on equipment because
Of these stoppages, and the car
wheels, the brake shoes and the rails
are worn away, because Of friction. In
starting after a stop there is a great
expenditure Of steam getting under
headway, and there Is more wear and
tear on equipment. Some railroad
men say that President Wizards fig
ures are too low, and that taking the
train with seventeen stops it would re-
quire at least thirty through passen-
gers to pay for the most Of starting
and stopping the train.
