VIRGINIA LEAGUE ASKS S1O,OOO TO SURRENDER
 RICHMOND FRANCHISE

The latest demand of the Virginia League to permit the International League to invade their Richmond ter ritory is $1Os00O, and permission to operate a Virginia League team in the old Confederate capital, which may play when the Richmond Internation- als are on the road. A committee of Richmon business men will decide whether or not to raise the $10,00O.
 Barrow intends to call a meeting g of his league about January 20, when all the league members will be com pelled to post $1O, 900 for an energ- ency fund, under penalty of losing their franchise. By that time, the New Y ork State League is expected to take some action on the Syracuse proposition.

 night when Yale meets the Amherst Aggies in a. practice hockey game The hockey team broke even on its southern trip, defeating St. Paul, 6 te

 The basketball team won three out of four games, defeating Wesleyan al Hartford, 53 to 2e; the Brooklyn Poly
 technic Institute. 3S. to IA; Fordham 43 to 23: but losing to Catholic Uni versity in Washington, 29 to 25. The injury to Captain Stackploe. and the fact that the Yale five had played
 games on the three previous nights handicapped the team severely in its final match.
 Of the two members of presidential
 families, Charlie Taft, son of ex-Pres- ident Taft, was in every game at Jeff guard, but scored no points. He made good, however, and wall be 2 regular member of the seven, whick will meet Pennsy1vania here nex week in the first intercollegiate game but will play two practice matches be fore then.

RIBBONS WIN
 GREAT CAME
 FROM POINTS
CRyWaener.1


 Just before tostilfties started at Col oniaI hall last night Referee Al Bur dick announced that a pocketbook had been lost the previous week and any body who found it could return the same to the box office. The assembled popuIace greeted this speech with shouts of riba1d laughter. And then the Blue Ribbons came out and turned the laugh on the Basketball aggrega- tion known as the Points of Bagonne, N. J. After the shrapneI had stopped bursting over the enemy's entrench- ments the figures were A to 25 in fla vor of the Ribbons
 | From the score you might think 1t was a basketball quince but say not so. It was one of the scappiest bat ties sta.ked here since Hector was a pup. Honors were even in the first half, which ended with the score 16 to 14 in favor of the locals.
 The Points were the best passing team that has exhibited here this sea- son. They got the ball away quickly l and could hurI it in the air, on the ground and even around the back. Their tactics bewildered the Ribbons. The Ribbons showed Improvement in passing although at times their losses went wild. Their shooting was much more accurate than in some previous games.
 The Ribbons, as they took the floor 1 last night, were the fastest basketball team that ever represented Bridge
 port. Jimmy Clinton, who stood sec | ond as a point scorer in the New York State league. imported to play guard I in place of Swenson who was detained by business in New York Clinton l generally plays forward and is noted
 for his accurate shooting. He dis played his skill by ringing up six goals
 I Eddie Leonard, the minstrel center, l fairly outdid himself He was in the l thick of every engagement and made l several difficult shots.A Another player who earned applause was Roxey Roach The burIy guard prevented his man from scoring once but Roxey l tossed in three. Two of these were sentimental, long distance tries which even made Roach himself smile Capt. Beckman was so closely guarded by Hanigan that he could score only once but Becky did some great floor work Young Reich won
 the favor of the fans by tallying four and doing some capable passing. Kle- win and Harrigan starred for the | Points.
 With honors about even at tine start

It asserts that the national agreement, under which or ganized baseball exists, was made for the purpose of so dominating players that their engagement by clubs out side the alleged combination would be difficult, if not impossible.
 The bill includes Il prayers for re- lief, the leading sections being:
