"FEDsp DECIDE ON NEWARK
Kansas City Club to be Located al Harrison OVaI-Plans Under Way.

Although Pat Powers, who is the guardian of the floating Kansas City franchise of the Federal League, has repeatedly stated that he had not yet decided on either Newark or the Bronx for the location of the club, those close to Federal League affairs stated that the club would be placed in Harrison, just outside of Newark. It is stated that the deal for the Harrison site at Harrison Oval was closed last week.
 On Saturday it is known that Pow CTS, with C. B. Comstock, the architect who has designed all of the Federal League grand stands, and a prominent Newark contractor visited the site and make soundings for the foundations of the new park.
 The new park is on a site in Harri- son bounded on the east by Third street, on the west by Second street, running in a northerly direction to a point within 100 feet of Middlesex street and extending 620 feet southward toward Somerset and Hunterdon streets, giving the new park an area of 620 by $50 feet. These grounds, intersected by Somerset and Hunterdon streets, so that MT. Powers will appear before the Harrison town council at its next meeting and request that these streets be vacated within the boundaries of the park. IL is under
  ming only a temporary stand at this time with bleachers. The concrete and steel structure is to be erected after the first season. The grand stand will be horseshoe shaped. and it is planned to accommodate about 10000 persons.
 Sinclair and Powers, who control the club, believe that with a good club Newark can be made a major league city and successfully defy the Interna- tioral league opposition there. The present grounds are nearer to Broad and Market streets, Newark, than Wei denmeyer's Park, where the Interna- tionals play, and. although located in Harrison, are easily accessible to New arl-, West Hudson, Harrison, and lower New York. The field is a short dis tance from the Fourth street station of the Pennsylvania railroad and the Harrison station of the Manhattan line. It is only two minutes ride from the Park Place station in Newark. The promoters believe that with Sunday games they will be able to attract crowds of 2500O people. It is under stood that Powers and Sinclair were anxious to keep the site of the park quiet until the Federal League meet ing in Buffalo this week, when official notification will be made.

YALE WILL TRYT
 BREAK THE "HOODoO"
Blue Baseball Prospects Are Stronger
 Than Ever.

Yale will this year make a supreme effort to break the hoodo which, with annual record-breaking baseball ma terial in the squad, has prevented the capture of a championship. The ad- ministration of Frank Quinby as coach has been marked by three yearly hines of exceptional strength and promise in the early games, but by disastrous fin- ishes of the season. Three different reasons have been assigned for the fail ure to pluck a championship victory which seemed in each of these three years almost firm. in YaIe's grasp. In 1912 Capt. Blossom Wrenched an ankle just before Yale's annual game in Princeton, spelling Yale hopes. In 1915 the two pitchers, Gile. and Brown, got stale and collapsed during the week of the final games with Prince ton and Harvard. Last year Long John" Reilly, Yale's wonderful third baseman, played through the cham plonshlp matches so stale that he fail ed to hit safely although when in con- dition he is the slugger of the team.
 By strange turn in the wheel of fate, Yale has come back stronger than ever in her outlook for 1915. For Is years Yale'S baseball material had been the weakest of any of the eastern uni- versailles. Coincident with the advent Of Coach Quinby it began to be fully equal to that of any of Yale's rivals, and the undergraduate world is again
 
 collection of playing ability may be converted finally into an intercollegiate championship
 The two batting and fielding main stays of the team have already been asked to name their terms by half a dozen major league mines. Each has been offered a salary of S5,000 a year to quit collegiate baseball and enter the professional field. With John Reil- ly al third base and Harry Le Gore at shortstop, the Yale inf1eld is expected to prove the strongest in the history of the university hines Some of their undergraduate admirers declare that they regard these two players the strongest holders of these positions who have played together si18ce Jack Glasscock and Jerry Denny played side by side.
 Aside from this stellar pair, Yale will have three, and possibly four, of the strongest pitchers who ever wore the Eli uniform. It is uncertain whether Pie" Way, the mainstay of the box last season. will be eligible again this year. He is at present under the fac ulty ban, but has a chance to regain his standing in studies. He is the weakest of the, four leading candidates for pitcher.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET ELuCTuATEp.
Selling Movement Was Junctuated
 by Intervals of Extreme DuIIness.

New York Feb. S-Professional selling prompted mainly by further unfaVOra.ble foreign developments, pro- voked fresh selling of securities on | the resumption of operations today. There was a comparatively large ac- emulation of orders over the double holiday, TO inconsiderable part of which emenated from out of town sources, with an admixture of Europ- can offerings. This latest phase of the situation was most noticeable in the bond department, where numerous sales for future delivery at conces- sions were effected.
 The oyerhanging fear of information al complications was plainly reflect ed in the several markets for exchange most of which were again demoraliz- ed and in favor of this country. Re mittanceS to London did not decline to last weeks low point, but exchange on Paris, Berlin, Rome and Geneva were quoted at unprecedented figures.
 The selling in this market began at the outset and was maintained, except for irregular periods of extreme dull ness, for the greater part of the seS- sion. Many of the principal shares made their lowest prices for the cur rent movement and a number of new minimums were made. Baltimore & Ohio common and preferred, Seaboard Air Line preferred, Southern Railway
 
 and Ohio were among the stocks to fall to latest established quotations
 Most of the specialties, including the petroleums, motors and a score of dormant issues, fell from one to over five points. United States Steel was again steadiest of the speculative fla Vorities, despite the large overturn. Anthracite shares were weakest of the high priced railers, with a revival of run1ors affecting stability.
 Almost the only encouraging news of the day came from the west, where general conditions pointed to an in crease in business. This was offset however, by another sharp drop in grains Weakness in the cotton mark ct accounted for the heaviness of southern transportation issues.
 Losses in some of the investment bonds ranged from one to two points with a larger volume of trading. To- tai sales (par value), aggregated 3D. 535,0o0.
 U.- S. government bonds were un- changed on call.

TRAINING SEASON
 NEAR AT HAND Players Advance Guard Starts South Soon-Danny Murphy Leaves Sum day.

It seems just a day or two since we heard the echo of Hank Gowdy,s home run smash in that world series battle, yet here we are right on the eve. we might say, of the 1915 base ball season.
 Whats that? The mo training be fore March 1st" rule? Sure there is such a rule. But rules. like eggs, are made to be broken. Laws, like auto mobiles, can be lodged. And that s what the organized baseball folks are going to do.
 The mo training before March 1st rule was adopted by the magnates last winter when they were all excited about that economy stuff. They were in mood at that time where they their legs if someone had told them that such an action would result in economy. This rule was adopted by the magnates as a means of saving in training camp bills.
 The magnates thought by adopting the rule they had accomplished a needed reform. But the managers didn't. They howled. Most of the managers said that March 1st wasn't early enough to begin training. Fur thermore someone argued that if the American and National league clubs didn't go into training until after March 1st it would give the Feds a chance to grab a lot of early pub licity by sending their teams south during February.
 Then the magrates took a tumble and word was passed along the line that rules is rules.' don't let rules stand in your way too much
 There is nothing in the wording of the new gule, as we interpret it@that bars a manager from sending his bat tery men to some place south of Ma son and Dixon line two weeks or so before March 1, just so long as he doesn't send the men to the regular camp. Because there is no rule against this it is a fairly safe wager that some of the pitchers and catch CTS will be working out in the south quite some time before March l.
 Danny Murphy of the Brooklyn Feds has received word to report at Brown Wells, Miss, and leaves this coming

NATIONAL AMATEUR
 RACQUET CHAMPIONSHIP
Close Match Between L. Waterbury
 and H. E. Heckscher.

New York. Feb. 2S.-One of the best matches ever played at the New York Racquet and Tennis club was witness ed there today when L. Waterbury and H. G. Heckscher, both members of the home club, met in the second round of play for the national amateur racquet championship. The play was clever all through and Waterbury s victory was mainly due to his re- sourcefulness. After the fifth game had been set. Heckscher received a nasty cut on the back of his head, being struck with the ball. Play was discontinued for a few minutes while the injury was attended to. Heck scher resumed with his head ban daged, but although he played pluck ily he lest the game and the match. The scores: 1O-15, 15-12. 8-15; 1S-14, 18-16.
 In the other matches Stanley G. Mortimer, New York, defeated his cIubmate. Greenville Clark. very han dily in three straight games, 15-7, 15-7, 15-3. The second round will be com pleted tomorrow when c. c. Pell, New York, plays G. A. Thorne, Chicago, and w. Post, New York, meets J. C. Waterbury, another local player.

 As to Johnson's whereabouts, it was intimated that he might have sailed from Havana yesterday for the west coast of Mexico, perhaps for Manzan- illo, which town General Villa expects to capture soon. This would give him access to Juarez without passing through General Carranza's lines. Should Johnson have taken this route, his best course would be across Guat- emala and it would occupy two weeks.
