Denver. Colorado, January 16.-
The white wing Democrats in
the senate again encountered the
dead wall OF Republicans and con
servativc Democrats yesterday when
an attempt was made to amend tn"
report OF the committees on rules.
The attack centered around Scna-
ter Adams, The iutility of buckinG
the present bi-party senate align
ment was shown when the vote WAS
taken. showing seven white wings
standing against the rest of the sen
ate.
Senator Edward AffGllcr moved
that rule %, section ., be amended
by the insertion of the phrase. I'm
one of the usual forms" He ev-
planned that the rule as reported Jut
was construed during the Nineteenth
assembly to mean that a committee
can hold bill until the last day cf
the session and thus smother It by
simply reporting that the commit
tee is not ready to report" He de-
manded that the rule be amended as
he suggested so that the committee
unless excused by a vote of the sen-
ate, must report on any bill at the
request of a senator within three
days.
The debate assumed a degree Of
acerbity that has been lacking so far
this session.
Majority Leader Williams object
ed to an amendment on the ground
that the senate can order report at
any time. but Affolter declared that
the majority should not have the
lower to excuse committee fror' re-
porting throughout the session.
Senator John I. Tierney. 'whilo
wing leader vino has remained s.
lent heretofore during the present
session, charged Senator Adams with
taking the position that the commit
tee is paramount TO the senate. an
''old, antiquated theory" when
Adams said that the senate might
as well abolish all committees as &c
take away their right to properly
consider a bill.
Senator w. C. Robinson denounced
the rule as reported as n fraud ant
snare" thus siding with the white
wings.

The bill introduced by Senators
kiugc and Means is one OF three de-
signed to amend the statutes on irri-
cation so that the federal govern

The system will cost about 81, ,500,-
0nO and is too large for the residents
of that section to handle alone. 1t
is believed that eventually the sys-

about 10000 acres. The govern
ment cannot construct now because
of state statutes prohibiting the con-
struction OF irrigation projects with
out Il contract with private parties

district itself.
Under the present law the irriga-
ton districts involved cannot make a
contract with the federal govern

MANY MAGNATES
 AFTER FRANCHISE
Downey, Corncn and McCann Make Bids For Park City Fran
 cbiSe

Bridgeport, Dec. 24.-The Bridge port franchise will surely be sold be- fore the opening of the Eastern asso- citation next season, according to in formation received yesterday from an authentic source. So far three men are in the field for the club. They are Eugene McCann, Harry Cornen and Tommy Downey. McCann will not re- turn as manager in New London, and as he is well known in Bridgeport he is anxious to control the local fran chise. It is said he has ample finan- cial backing.
 Cornen has been conducting an in- dependent club in South Norwolk for several years. He made a bid for the Bridgeport franchise last winter but withdrew when he found that the league did not intend to start. Downey has been with the Buffalo Federals for two seasons. He is a Bridgeport boy with a large following in the home city. During his career in the big league, he made considerable money and is able to make a good or fer.
 John H. Freeman, present owner has stated positively that he is
 
 in New York absorb all his attention. He is willing to sell at reasonable figure and news of the sale will prob ably be announced as soon as the Eastern directors state that they are prepared to put a circuit in the field Judging by recent events in this city the Eastern association may be ready next week to announce that the cir cult is complete. Jack Zeller visited President O'Rourke yesterday after noon after a trip to Hartford and Springfield. Although no statemen was given out it is understood tha Zeller offered to let Carey have thu Springfield franchise. If Carey de cides not to accept, another man il ready to put a team in Springfield Nothing can be learned here about thu Hartford situation, but it is said tha the uncertainty about New Londol has been removed and Morton F Plant will enter team. Other citie already certain are said to be Bridge . port, New Haven and Pittsfield.

IS AFTER JOB.
Joe Birmingham Candidate for Man.
 ageriaI Job at Toronto.

Toronto, Dec. 24.-Joe Birming- ham, college graduate, crack center fielder and former leader of the Cleveland American League club, is candidate for the vacant position of manager of the Toronto Baseball Club. Birmingham was deposed last season after the season had hardly got under way by Owner Somers be- cause of some disagreement over a matter of policy, although his con- tract had still two years to run. He did not take his summary dismissal in good part, and imme ediately entered suit against the Cleveland club for -fulfillment of contract, and the legal action is still pending.
 Birmingham was rated as one of the best outfielders in the American League some three years ago. He did not play very much after he took i up the duties of manager in success 1 sion to Harry Davis, the former Ath-
 letic first baseman, who proved to ] be flat failure as a leader, thougfl he was a star as a player. Birming- I ham made a grand showing his first ! year out, but did little after that
 owing to the fact that he was handi-
 capped by the inability of Owner
 Somers, who is in financial difficulty
 to supply him with capital to 1uc. 1 chase players needed to keep the ,lur | in the running.

YALE GETS GOING.
Eli Basket Tossers Display Wonderful
 Comeback Ability and Trim Rochester

Rochester, N. Y, Dec. 24.-The red heart of Yale showed last night in her basketball game with the University of Rochester. In the first period and again in the second the Blue found herself two to four goals behind, but in the end came through and won, 2S to 25.
 The Ellis started without Weiner their crack forward. With the score two all, Harper of Rochester shot two consecutive baskets from the floor and Woodams pushed in another, giv- ing the bulldog a pursuit for the rest of the half. At half time they were even, 13 each.
 After Mallon had sifted in the first basket of the second half, the Yale defense crumbled and Rochester popped in five successive field goals, Captain Hale shooting two of three quarter court length. But with the five baskets made, Yale exploded and Rochester subsided for the night. Every man on the Yale team with the exception of Taft contributed to the final spurt, Mallon subscribing three field goals.

BRICKLEY RE-ENGAGED.

Cam bridge, Dec. 24.-Charles E. Brickley, former Harvard captain and considered by many critics as the best football player ever developed, today renewed his contract as gridiron coach at Johns Hopkins University, Balti- more. Brickley in his first season with the Maryland collegians, developed a fine team, losing only two games and scoring in every game played. Finan- cially the season was the best the Bal timore management has ever had Harvard hoped to have Brickley here assisting as right-hand man to Percy Haughton, who is expected e:o again coach the Harvard football team. The announcement that Brickley had visi- ted Baltimore and signed a new con- tract, dashed these hopes to the ground ~.>

SINCLAIR WAS BOSS
 IN FED. LEAGUE
Former Power in Federal League Will Not Accept $15,OOO For
 Magee.
Nfagee.

St. Louis, Mo, Dec. 24.-"I have the disposition of the Kansas City, Buffalo and Newark Federal league players and I hold the contracts of Benny Kauff, Lee Magee and George Anderson, all of the Brooklyn Feder- als" This statement was made last night by Harry F. Sinclair, oil mag nate of Tulsa, okla, and retiring base ball promoter. You can say," said Sinclair, "that the owner of the Cincinnati Nationals yesterday offered me $5,00O for Pitch CT Moseley of Newark and that the owner of another National league club offered me $15,0OO for Magee. Nose ley will go to Cincinnati as soon as l get the $5,000. Magee, however, is worth much more money than s15,000 in my estimation, and he will not go ! for that figure. These two offers are in answer to the published report that the National league owners have agreed not to take any Federal league | players"
 1 MT. Sinclair declined to go into de- | tail as to how he acquired Kauff, Ma gee and Anderson, or how he hap I ark and Buffalo players on his hands. He denied, however, that he was the liquidating agent of the Federal l league.
 Sinclair said the deal whereby the St. Louis Americans will go to Phil Ball and Otto F. Stifel, owners of the local Federals had been closed. Sim clair last night departed for Tulsa and said he would return to New York after the holidays to wind up other matters involved in the peace agree ment signed at Cincinnati yesterday.
 't"When all the provisions of the agreement are carried out," Sinclair said, "I shall have retired from base ball, so far as having any financial interest in a club is concerned. l have been in the game one year and have been considered the money bag of the Federal league but let me tell you the money I lost in the venture is hardly worth mentioning. To place the Fed eral league losses in the millions is a
 joke I am going out of baseball be- l cause there doesn't seem to be a place in it for me- and I don't want to break
 down any 6oors." ., - ,.. ss
 "I am leaving baseball" he contin- ued, with the. impression that organ ized baseball has been much fairer to the players than the public seems to believe, and I think that in the future the lot of the player will be better than it was before the coming of the Federal league" ....t, g##

of Treatment by Federals.
 Pittsburgh, Dec. 24.---".Whenever I get kicked out of an organization it is time for me to quit, and that is what I am going to do," said Edward w. Gwinner. President of the Pitts burgh Federal club. II was willing to go along until the Federal league became paying proposition, but when my partners saw fit to feather their own nests and drop me over board, I decided that baseball politics were too much for me, and so I am out. I do not want franchise of any kind, neither major nor r1inor, and as soon as I have sold my players want to forget that I was. ever in the ownership game"
 It was announced at the local clubs headquarters today that he received $5O,00O to pay for improvements made at the local park. and was told to get the best price possible for his players. He has sixteen men under contract for next year, whose salar- ies amount to over $6O,0O0, and unless he can dispose of them before the season opens he will have to give away so as to be released from pay ing their salaries. He hopes to place Konetchy with the New York Giants, and figures that he ought to get a 1 fair price for the first baseman. Kon- etchy's contract calls for $S,5OO a year and runs until the end of 1917 l Steve Yerkes has the same sort of | a contract. Gwinner figures his per 1 sonal losses in the baseball venture al
 over S100,000.

 His special distance is the half-mile and he has won several points for the Maroon in individual competition. Two years ago McLoughlan was elected assistant manager of the foot ball team, but resigned before the playing season opened.
