Most sport writers agree that the peace protocol between the FederaIs and Organized Ball was just like as if the nations of Yurrup should sign a peace, the terms of which were dictat- ed by the Allies. In other words the 'eds, supposedly being well whipped. got all they wanted, or so nearly all that the concessions they made were inconsequentiaL.
 Before any peace was signed-you remember-during the time that mag mates were flying around thick in New York and Chicago, and later in Cincinnati, we thought that the things the Feds were going to get. according to unofficial but reliable statements by Organized Ball, sounded something like the terms of a victor. For giving up the fight that made baseball inter esting, for two years, the outlaws se- cured protection for their players. shares for their magnates in certain clubs of organization, the immunity of contract jumpers.
 The Obsequies of the Federal League in Cincinnati brought to an end the most interesting fight in the history of sport. Some hold that the Feds did the American pastime immeasurable harm by revealing the sordid money side of things gs-stressinG the large amounts of money that players re- ceived and losing sight of actual play ing ability.

Partial Tallies On Blue Hunters; Constable and Crystal Ice Plants Store Duck, Rabbit, Quail for Charity Dinners

With no official tallies yet made up. the two armies of hunters rested last night after the arduous labors of SCOUT ing the valley for game, many hun dreds of pounds of which were stored in the Constable and Crystal Ice plants last night, awaiting distribution among the poor. It was a cold hunt, but a profitable one, for if the hunters were somewhat numbed, so were the ducks, rabbits and quail-so that es- cape was difficult.
 Some nice shooting was met by the scores of nimrods, as attested by the automobile loads of game brought in.
 At eight o'clock, the F. w. Bennett forces had stored several hundred ducks, 300 rabbits and between four and five hundred quail, with more still to be brought in.
 Over at the Constable. Ice company, the piles of wild food were also grow ing apace.
 At eight-thirty, the tally was as follows:
 w. D. Twitchell and T. L. Edens, 2S duck, quail.
 J. L. Irwin, 54 quail IS cottontail, g iackrabbits, dove.
 H. r. De Mund, 30 duck.
 R. P. De Mund, duck, 1O9 quail, 2 cOttontail, ? jackrabbits. l hawk
 M. Valentine, 29 duck, 22 quail, 1C cottontail, ? hawks.
 The total take of these parties was S9 duck, 187 quail, 37 cottontail. [ jackrabbits, 22 dove and 3 hawks Hawks although not game birds, are included in the scoring program. be- cause of their well known habit ot eating game birds and animals.

 NEW ORLEANS, Dec 29.-The 2O- round fight for the heavyweight cham pionship, scheduled for March in this city, between Jess Willard and Fred Fulton of Minnesota was defi- nitely declared off today by Tom Jones, Willard's manager. and Tommy Burns, local promoter. who was a partner of Dominick J. Tortorich in promoting the fight.
 A disagreement between Jones and Burns over the latter's insistence that Fulton meet some other first class fighter before the Willard match caused the cancellation. Jones said tonight that there was a strong prob ability that Willard and Fulton would fight for the championship in Milwau- kee, February 22.
 Announcement was made by Torto- rich and Burns. December 24 that they had decided to substitute Frank Moran of Pittsburg for Fulton in the match with Willard. A few days later Burns announced he was willing to take over the Willard Fulton agree ment alone and stage the fight here as originally arranged, excepting that Willard should take a percentage of the receipts instead of a $32,50O guar antee.
 Jones arrived today from Chicago and conferred with Burns in an en- deavor to settle the hitch over the match Announcement of the cancel lation followed Jones said he would not agree to FultOns meeting another fighter before he fought the cham pion and insisted that Willard would fight Fulton before taking on any other challenger.
 Jones showed a telegram from T. $. Andrews of Milwaukee offering Will lard $25,0O0 for a ten-rOund cham piOnship match with Fulton in Mill waukee. February ?. Unless bet ter offer is received Jones said he will accept Andrews proposition
 Burns telegraphed to Frank Moran s manager at New York late today of fering Moran $500 for a fight here with Willard. Jones said if Moran accepted and if suitable terms for Willard could be arranged, the cham pion would meet Moran in New Or leans on March 4 or 6.
 The agreement for a twenty-round championship bout here in March between Willard and an opponent to be selected by the local promoters an nounced that Fulton had been selected as Willards opponent. Fulton was signed in Chicago for the match on December 15.

tiOu of d trust.
 The Feds, now languishing in limbo,
 did not produce the classiest ball ever
 viewed by fan. But they occupied a position in the public eye that is sec ond to none. Measured by the column of newspaper space, it is doubtful if they got less notice than the European war is now credited with.
 Most fans are glad for the two years of the Federals. They enlivened the game. Whether they have wrought lasting good, remains to be seen. Most
 of the real mourners will be found
 among the players, who, for a time,
 got fatter wages, and a certain free dom from rule and restraint.
 For some time past. the idea had prevailed that the salaries paid to ball players too closely approximated the national debt ran too close to the plutocrat class. The income tax col

 This shows how the outlaws elevated the players idea of his own worth. No magnates burst into tears when the corpse was laid to rest at Cincin- natl the other day. Most club owners con now begin to lav a little by during

GRATIFIED AMBITION.
Copyright. 1915. by W. werner1

Sarah Marvin had one great ambi-
ton. She longed with all her heart to
become member of the Woman's
Club.
Sarah Marvin lived in house of
seven rooms, four of which were oc-
cupied by young man boarders. 1t
may be said that they occupied the
fifth room also, which was the living
room. It was always strewn with
their helongings-a mandolin here, a
pipe there. and newspapers and novels
wherever they could find a convenient
foothold There remained to Sarah the
kitchen and the dining room, though
the dining room was invaded regularly
thrice a day, and the attic. where she
slept Her domain really consisted of
the kitchen and attic. The attic was
bare and the kitchen was small and al
ways hot and steamy.
Besides her boarders, Sarah kept hens
And as hens are almost as much trou-
bic as boarders. she had seldom an
hour for recreation.
When her husband had finished his
job of drinking himself to death Sarah
found herself with a mortgage and nu
merous debts to pay She was brave,
sturdy. hopeful little woman. Some of
her neighbors kept boarders. which
gave her the idea that she. too, could
keep boarders she decided to admit
men only. since they would be "out
from under foot" most of the time.
After the first boarder had tasted her
crullers and eriddIe cakes She had no
trouble in getting others. Her rooms
were soon full and remained full.
In time Sarah got the debts paid off
and the mortgage under control and
she began to he happier than she had
. yer heen in all the long years that she
was Bert Marvin's wife Her husbands
living and dying had cast a shadow
upon Sarah which most people did not
disregard. She had been Bert Marvin'S
wife and she was now Bert Marvin's
widow. And. admirable though she
was. people would not forget that fact.
So, poor Sarah. from no fault of her
own, was lonely. She would have been
lonelier if she had not been so busy.

the public becomes better acquainted
with the purposes and uses of banks,
it will receive larger benefits from
them A recent investigation shows
that the amount of money boarded in
this country annually approximates
$500, 900. 900. If this sum were put into
circulation the need for the release
of federal reserve funds would he
greatly diminished Most of this
money is being saved by people who
have no knowledge of banking
One of the newest departures of the
institute has been an investigation into
the means of raising the health stand
ards of those engaged in the banking
business A large number of examina :
tions in both small and large banks
revealed the fact that fully so per cent
of the employees had. physical defects
and impairments. It was shown that
the sedentary habits and severe nerv-
Gus strain of the banking business are
apt to develop diseases of the heart
arteries. kidneys and nervous system
This can best be prevented by the
building UP of a high physical stand
ard in the young men who are In train
ing for this work. In several of the
chapters. different systems of physical
development are being tried. and the
attention to this subject at the begin
ming will go far toward securing
greater physical endurance for the
members as they reach mature age.
