Compromise Likely to Help
Wobbly Circuit Through
Present Crisis
GIANTS TO OPPOSE ANY
LONGER STAY, HOWEVER
Plan Expected To Bar Feds
From Proposed Invasion
Of New York

NEW YORK, Feb. 1s.--Althoush
the National league has made no def.
mite reply to the application OF Presi-
dent Edward @. Barrow, and the New
York club Is strongly opposed to
an invasion OF local territory.
the Bronx Is still seriously threatened
with an International league club
next season. II Is limited now that
In spite OF the opposition solution
may be reached, owing To the press
ing conditions. by granting permission
to BARROW to invade the stronghold or
Billy Gibson for one year with the un-
derstanding that during that time he
will find another place TO permanently
locate the floating rib OF his league
This arrangement may be agreed
upon as Q compromise with President
Harry N. Hampstead, OF the Giants.
President Hampstead IL regarded as
standing entirely within his rights in
opposing invasion of his territory.
and the league Is Just as strongly OPP
posed to any permanent invasion. But
II Is felt also that both the National
and American leagues owe o good
deal to Barrow and his efforts In be-
half OF organized baseball. and should
lend helping hand to keep the Bar
row league OF the rocks.
While the wisdom Of putting an In
|ternational league club In the Bronx
In still disputed, the arrangement
might have twofold advantage for
next season, and for that reason viii
get more serious consideration. 1t
would not only save the International
league when II has practically fallen
back on It's last hope, but 1t would
forestall any attempt on the part OF
the Federal league to Place q club
there which would give the two local
clubs some real opposition.
Barrow was very much disappointed
when the National league magnates
adjourned this week without giving q
decision on his petition. but confer
ence with President Tener made the
world somewhat more rosy. II Ii be-
lieved that Tener told Barrow that the
one year arrangement could be sue
cessfully managed.

GERMANS Win BY
BRILLIANT FINISH
Rayls Give Invaders Great Fight,
But Fail To Hold Early
Lead

The Buffalo Germans last night took
the punch out Of what promised to be
one OF the closest. speediest basket
ball games ever played In Detroit.
when, in the final moments Of play,
they staged q passing and basket-toss-
ing exhibition that left the Rayls be-
wildered and almost unable even to
lay hands on the ball. The final score
was 3S TO "a, but up to the last seven
minutes OF the game, II looked rs II
the Detroiters had battling chance to
slip over victory.
The Rayls took q nice lead at the
start, numerous misses dtscounting
the passing of the Germans, which
was the most uncanny ever seen In
Detroit. But II was not long before
the invaders found their tossing eye.
and the first half was q nip and tuck
affair. ending with the count IL to 10
In favor of the Germans. The second
half was Just as thrilling. until time
began to grow short. Then the visitors
threw the gear into high, and the
Rayls could not even annoy their
guests. The Moose hall was packed to
the rafters with a throng that early
became very excited over the contest.
and impartially cheered for both
teams.
Inasmuch as the Buckeye Paints. OF
Toledo, defeated the Germans Thurs
day night and shared honors with the
Rayls In walloping the Buffalo Oswe-
COS last month, the game between the
Paints and Rayls at the Moose hall.
Monday promises to prove big draw
Ing card. The Rayls think they can
defeat the Buckeyes on Detroit floor,
and last night they proved that they
eau give any team q battle.

committee are of the opinion that san

to exceed $4,000. The members of the
committee have already considered pos.
sible changes in the plans to make it
possible to keep the building with the

will delay the starting of the work Of
construction and it now seems certain
that the work can not be started until
the middle of May or later. If changes

MAY Ask FOR AEN BIDS
Lowest Combination Of Bids Would
Make the Proposed Institution Cost
in the Neighborhood of $4,000. In
Guiding the Architects Fees.

The special committee of the Keno
sha County Board in charge of the erec-
ton of the new tuberculosis Hospital
for the city met with a real disappoinf-
ment on Wednesday afternoon when the
bids for the institution were opened
and with the lowest combination of
all the bids possible it appears that the
sanitarium would cost from $4,000 to
$4,000. This includes an estimated
cost for heating plant of $4,000 and it is
the opinion Of the members of the COM
mittee that it will be impossible to get
the plant called for in the specifications
at that price. The lowest bidder for
the general contract was Windorf Bros.
of Kenosha who offered q contract
price of $4,000. The highest bid was
$24,700. There were more than forty
bids presented under the specifications
special bids being offered for plumbing,
heating, roofing and for installation Of
the sanitary sewage system. Under the
bids now in the hands Of the commit
tee the lowest figure that could be made
for the completion of the building
would be $27,379.20 and this would
make no provisions for the payment Of
the fee Of the architect. The matter
of further consideration OF the bids
was held open until another meeting OF
the committee to be held at the County
Building week from next Saturday.
The members of the committee are not
a unit on what should be done under the
circumstances. Some Of the members
seem to be favorable to proceeding I'M
der the present bids while others are
favorable to asking for new bids and
trimming the specifications so that it
viii be possible to secure the compile
