Moncrief developed his anti-fermen-
tative process while experimenting
for method of keeping liquid tea.
He accomplished this feat, one of
which many noted chemists had pro-
nounced impossible, after some four
years of experimenting and the
American Liquid Tea and Syrup Co.
Of Birmingham, Ala, are now put
ting out the various tea products
under his patents and processes.
This success he'd him to expert
ment with citrus fruit juices and he
was able. with some slight varia-
tions. to adapt the process success
fully to holding these juices from
fermentation indefinitely in unseal-
ed containers.
1t is the universal verdict of every
man who saw and sampled the pro-
ducts of Mr.. Moncrief that the pro-
cess is certainly a success. He holds
the juices without fermentation and
without affectin? or altering the
flavor or aroma, making delicious
pure fruit juice. for consumption as

for making syrups for soda foun

wonderful asset of experiences. The
team playing four-year men has more
of its old team left over from the pre-
vious season with which to build a
new team than can be the case in the
large universities.
The small colleges usually play
longer schedules. which also helps
materially in training and seasoning
men. The man who gels chance to
play in a maximum of not over Is or
20 games in his whole college career
has not the opportunity for develop
ment afforded the man who plays in
eight or ten games every season for
four years.
Briefly, the ambitious preparatory
school football PLAYER finds it easier
to get into 4 small college, easier 10
stay there, easy to make the team the
first year If he is a star, and easy to
escape too searching inquiry about his
eligibility. He has a chance to play
four full years.
NV own opinion is that young men
should find it far preferable to mas
ter the higher scholarship require
ments Of the large universities rather
than take the easier way They would
be much better off in the end, in com
pensation for the greater effort. As
further reward, they would gain the
greater prestige that the large uni

II Connected With Clrcnit 9th
ers Make Deniais.

New York, Dec. 3--John X. Tener.
president Of the National league. yes
terdsy issued his first statement since
the Federal league announced that it
would invade New York city. When
asked what the thought of the proposed
plans Of the FederaIs, he replied,
Il 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 paving 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
Federal league; in fact. the greatest
failure 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 It will cost
not less than $l.5OO,000 to place a club
on Manhattan Island, and it is Just
sending so much good money after bad.
Fight or Quit.
Apparently the continued life of the
Federal league is due to the fact that
"a settlement of the baseball conditions
has not been effected and the league
must continue or give up ALL
1t is probable that within the next
few days decision will be rendered
ion the application of the Federal
league club to close two of the streets
which run through the property pur-
chased for the park. The Federals have
gone about the purchasing of the prop
erty in such a manner that there is lit
tie doubt that they have been assured
of the probable granting of their re-
quest Among baseball men there has
been a conflict OF opinion on the sub
jeet, many of those IN organized base
bail maintaining that the closing OF
streets would require such length Of
time as to make the building of park
for next season an imrossibiIitv.
The latest name connected with the
backing of the Federal league in this
city is that Of Finley J. Shepard. This
report was no sooner started. how.
ever, than II met with denial from,
both Mr. Shepard and President Gil
more. The latter said that while he
knew Mr. Shepard, there was NOT any
