FEBRUARY WILL BE
WITHOUT FULL MOON

For the first time in sixty-nine years
there will be no full moon in Febru-
airy. In 1916 was the last time that
there was moonless February and
1t is the only month In which such
lack can occur. Full moons follow one
another at intervals of twenty-nine
and half days, according to Profess
sor Jacoby of the Columbia univer-
sity and thus it can happen occasion
ally that February with Its twenty
eight days, hasn't time for new
moon to become full. During the
month of January there were two full
moons, the first on January / and the
second on January 80. In March
there will be full moons on March !
and March 81. The last quarter OF
the moon this month will be on the
7th, new moon on the 18th and the
first quarter on the 21st.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
 IN ANNUAL SESSION
Senators and Browns Dicl<cr For Player To No Avail-Baker
 In Demand.

Chicago. Ill.,, Dec. 15.-American league officials gathering here yester- day for their annual meeting today, discussed a number of trades, it was reported, but no confirmation of the four-cornered deal involving six play CTS, as reported from New York, could be obtained among them. The fact that the affairs of the Cleveland club are unsettled made it difficult to pro-. cure statement regarding the Chap man end of the trade.
 Connie Mack of the Philadelphia. club is expected today, and it is said both Col Ruppert of the New York Americans and President Comiskey of the White SoX will make him offers for Baker.
 Clark Griffith, manager of Wash ington, and Branch Hickey, manager of St. Louis, failed after negotiations yesterday, to effect a trade in which First Baseman Gandil of the Nation als would go to the Browns. What St. Louis offered for Gandil was not learned.
 There were many rumors of trades during the morning, chief amonS | which was one that would bring J. Franklin Baker to the New York Americans. It was said that the Yan- kees proposed to turn over Maisel tc 1 the Red SoX, the Red Sox in turn to l deliver Gardner, Wood and Collins to 1 New York who will in turn give either Wood or Collins to Cleveland Cleveland releasing Chapman to tho Athletics, Baker going to the Yap kees. In addition it was said tha Col. Ruppert stands ready to giv' the Athletics a check for 5000.
 Late in the day MT. Somers talked with Col. Ruppert and was credited with having asked him for financia backing for the Cleveland club whicl MT. Somers desires to retain. Dis cussing the disposal of Baker, Col
 Ruppert intimated that he believe
 that Manager Mack would be willin
 to dispose of this batsman to tn
 highest bidder.

 Another Season.

Ithaca, N. Y., Dec. 15.-Official con- firmation of the report that Cornell intends to retain pr. Sharpe, even though Yale should ask for his re- lease on the ground that he is Yale graduate and is needed to coach t.t New Haven, came today. In an of ficial statement Graduate Manager Kent announced that the Cornell coaching staff next fall would be composed of the same men as had di- rected football here for the past four seasons; Head Coach, pr. A. H. Shrape; line coach, Dan Reed, and end coach, Ray Van Orman.
 Sharpe is now serving his first year under the new five-year contract, while Reed and Van Orman have just accepted an offer to return for an- other year.
 Regarding the suggestion that Yale might seek pr. Sharpe, MT.
