Federal Chances Poor
Is John K. Tener's Belief
SeecIal to The Telegraph

New York, Dec. 3.-John X. Tener
yesterday issued his first statement
since the Federal League announced
that it would invade this city. When
he was asked what he thought Of the
proposed plans of the Federals. he
said:
II don't know whether they have a
park in this city. The Federal League
has been in existence two years, and
it has accomplished nothing so far as
making baseball a paying proposition.
The second season was even worse than
the first, and two or three cities that
had Federal League clubs have been
abandoned. The Brooklyn club has
been the greatest failure in the Fed
eral League, in fact, the greatest fail
ure in baseball. If they fill the park
in Brooklyn for the next five years.
the owners will not be reimbursed
for the money that has been spent.
1T will cost not less than S1,5OO,OOO
to place a club on Manhattan Island,
and it is just sending so much good
money after bad. Apparently the con-
tinued life of the Federal League is
due to the fact that a settlement of the
baseball conditions has not been effect
ed, and the league must continue or
give up all"

KISHPAUGH STAR
ON M. A. C. TEAM
big Bill" Kishpaugh Wins
Laurels as Guard on Agri-
cultural Eleven

Another local boy who has been win
ming fame on the gridiron this Fall is
William Kishpaugh, who played in the
guard position on the Maryland Agri-
cultural College team. The NJ. A. c.
eleven for four years won the State
championship of Maryland and this
Fall lost their first game in that time
to Johns Hopkins on Thanksgiving by
a 3 to score.
This is Big Bill's" third year in the
game, playing in the back field the last
two years, and being shifted to guard
this Fall on account of an injury which
handicapped his speed.
His work all season and especially
in the game against Hopkins resulted
in his being selected on the All-Mary-
land team, made up from all the col
leges of the state.
The Baltimore Sun says: "Kish-
paugh was easily the class of the
guards, weighing nearly 200 pounds,
and playing a heady and aggressive
game, his work was far above that of
any other played in this position"

TWO NEW SPORTS
AT TECH SCHOOL
Athletic Advisory Board Agrees
to Wrestling and Boxing
Contests

Tech High school has added wrest-
ling and boxing to its list of sports.
The decision was reached at a recent
meeting of the advisory board of the
athletic association.
The contests will be in the form Of
interclass matches, and for the indi-
vidual championship of the school.
and will be held this winter in con-
junction with the basketball games.
Should the sports prove successful and
popular, the school will go a step
farther and schedule interscholastic
matches with other schools of the
State next year.
Fitzpatrick, a member of the foot
ball team and track star, is one OF
the most promising wrestlers in the
school. A number of other lads are
also interested in this line of sports,
and a big turnout is looked for when
the first call is made. Frank ("Cy-
clone") Kelley, has had much expert
ence along this line, and will assist in
the work. The basketball schedule
| for the winter, arranged by Manager
/ MoltZ has also been approved by the
advisory board.

others late. so the season has been
much extended. and one can have flow-

the earliest begin to bloom.
Peonies can be planted at any time
from early Fall to early Spring. Sep

and by some 1t is thought the best, but
October is just as good. The roots are
dormant and they will get well settled

deep enough so the crowns are just be-

be deep as they would naturally be,
without crowding them or spreading

firmly.

Peonies should be planted where they

The minor leaguers who were at

They are eager to keep up the fight,
and they declared that they did not
care whether or not more players

Special 10 The Telegraph

Chicago. Ill, Dec 3. : Otis Stewart.
wealthy land owner of West Chicago,
had been i'll since the day he ran a
silver into his finger Wednesday night
he died
1t was an affecting death. Myrtle
Stewart, his daughter. called in the
neighbors, and the community wept in
unison.
There were novel features about the
wake-the body, for instance, lay on a
narrow plank laid across the backs of
two chairs. in a position uncomfort-
able even for a corpse. And the shrouo
was a sheet several thicknesses too
thin for the temperature of the room.
In the midst of 1t the corpse became
weary and shifted his position. So did
the women.
Two physicians passed half an hour
administering to hysterical mourners
on a street corner near the Stewart
residence, and departed just as Ernesl
Morris, the undertaken, reached the
scene.
Stewart is no longer the popular
neighbor he was before he died. Neigh
hors have Joined in a move to have his
sanity tested.
The corpse explained his conduct with
the plea that he wished to learn what
the community thought of him. If he
didn't know before, he knows now.

demand for tickets to the Penn-Cor-N

Cornelrs decision not to accept the

head work on the part of the Ithacans
and proper appreciation of the rela-

And 1t is pretty safe to say that few

any weight in deciding who Is cham
