WATER

WATER
 Water was first discovered and investigated by Noah, who suc- ceeded in living on it for forty days.
 Most men admire Noah for his bravery, but very few have any desire to bres,- his record.
 Water is one Of our most use- ful and necessary possessions. Without it the earth would be desert and worthless, S toe k would only yield a beggarly six or eight percent, and mankind would curl up and die. A great many men avoid water and try to get along with a substitute which they claim is just as good but their widows and creditors seldom speak of the experiment as a success.
 There is an unlimited supply of water on the planet, but most of it is badly seasoned and is unfit for drinking purposes. here are five great oceans containing 15O, 900, GOO square miles of water and surrounded by POOL GOO miles of sea beach, giving room for 2,000. 100000 bathers at one time. And yet a great many people in this world are no clean CT than they should be.
 Water is very thin and trans parent, except in the Chicago and Missouri rivers. It is very restless, and is continually climb ing up into the sky and falling down on baseball games and pie nics in summer, and on new mil linery in all seasons. Water is very gregarious, and loves to collect in ponds, rivers, lakes, gulfs, oceans and corporations. It is very unstable, and the man who tries to wander around in it without life preserver soon sinks and dies from swallowing too much of it. Too m u h water is just as fatal as t too little.
 Water is useful f 0 r running steam engines, making o f t drinks, soaking soleG eitizens, increasing the supply oi milk, putting out fires, making Bap- tist and insulating Americans from kings and dukes and Wal dorf Astors. Among the most needed collections of water in the world are the great lakes which are 1, GOO miles long over all and entirely drinkable; the Miss issippi River, the a h r of waters; the Amazon River, the greatest female river in h world; the Great Salt Lake, the Dead Sea and Wall s tree t. Niagara Falls and the Old Faith ful Geyser are the two m o S t athletic bodies of water. The most industrious water is the Colorado River, which has bur rowed it's way 5000 feet into the ribs of the earth. The most imposed upon water S t h e Chicago River, which W S turned around, loaded full of sewage and made to run back

MASKED MARVEL
PINS ZURICH DOWN

New York, Dec. 15.-George Zurich,
the India Rubber man from Russia,
had his trial with the Masked Marvel
at the Manhattan opera house wrest-
ling tourney last night, and after a
furnishing battle lasting "a minutes
and 80 seconds George cried enough
and limped off the stage. Zurich
claimed he hit his head on the boards,
but no one saw it.
Zurich was twice on top, in the first
period. but the masked man broke the
holds as though of cotton thread Of
ten the man in the mask got Nelson's
and arm holds, but the elusive Zurich
Wriggled free.
Zurich was on his feet at the close
OF the period, but very tired. AS the
bout had been scheduled for 20 min
utes, Lurish bowed and went off the
stage.
Later Zurich returned to the fray
and in four minutes the masked terror
hurled the Russian to the mat with
such force that Zurich decided then
and there he had enough.

HOLLENBGCK GETS
ELECTED TO PENN
FOOTBALL BOARD

Philadelphia, Dec. 15-William M.
Hollenback. captain of-the 1908 foot
ball team, who has been leading a
fight against the present football
mana cement at the University of
Pennsylvania, was made a member of
board of directors of the Athletic as
sociation at the annual meeting Mon
day night.
John H Minds, another former
captain, was reelected and the other
vacancies for the two year term were
filled by the election of Louis G. Ma
deira and James w Bod1ey. Wharf
ton SinkIer, chairman of the present
football committee, was among the
defeated candidates. Sydney Thayer
and Paul Thorn Son were reelected
to serve one year.
HoIIenback has announced himself
a candidate for coach for the foot
ball team, but if he is elected it will
be necessary for him to resign. from
the board of directors, members OF
which are not permitted to receive
financial compensation.
The report of the treasurer showed
that football and basketball were the
only two sports with q balance on the
credit side of the ledger. Football
during the 1914 season had receipts
of $6O,120, and expenses amounting to
$25,981, while basketball earned $500
Baseball cost $8,035, and earned &c.
594, and the Track ISd1II COS( SAU,t1c
alxd brought in $1o,725. The crew
cost 1874.

BAKER WILL BE
AUCTIONED OFF TO-
\ HIGHEST BIDDER

Chicago, Dec. 15-American league
officials, gathering here for their an
nual meeting today, discussed a num-
Der of trades, but there was no con-
frmation of the four-cornered deal
involving six players as reported
from New York. The fact that the
affairs of the Cleveland club are I'M
settled makes it difficult to procure
statement regarding the Chapman end
of the trade.
1t is said both Colonel Rupert Of
the New York Americans and Presi-
dent Comiskey of the White Sox will
make offers for Baker. Discussing
the disposal of Baker Colonel Rup-
pert said he believed Mack would be
willing to dispose of the batsnan to
the highest bidder
Late in the day Somers talked with
Colonel Rupert. and was credited
with having asked him for financial
backing for the Cleveland club, which
Somers desires to retain.
Clark Griffith, manager of Washing
ton, and Branch Hickey, manager Of

to bring about a trade in which First

YALE FOOTBALL. MATERIAL
FOR 1916 LOOKS STRONG
Fine Squad of Players Who Should Star With
Good Coaching.

i sent an aggregation of Yale yearlings
| kirkpatrick at various times, accord
ing to various stories, was slated fol-
Harvard, Princeton and Yale, and sc
good was his reputation as a football
player that each institution was hap
py in the prospect of his joining their
SQUAD. Yale was the fortunate school,
however, and big things are predict
ed for the former Exeter man on
YaIe's 1916 varsity. He weighs 191
pounds.
The suggested guards for Ya1e's 1916
team are Black, the recently elected
captain, and McGrath, Blacks Exeter
and freshman teammate, and a var
sity ineligible last season.
Black is one of the really great
guards of the present college genera
ton Injured in the Lehigh game, he
returned to the Eli squad just prior
to the Princeton contest. where his
play was the big feature of the game.
So impressed was Percy Haughton and
the Harvard coaches, that two and
sometimes three men were delegated
to stop the powerful Eli when he faced
Harvard, and on more than one occa-
sion even their combined efforts were
not equal to the task. Black was Sc
lected for an tA1l-America position by
the writer, and appears on many Of
the s'tA11'' eEevens of the. country. I'm
hampered by injuries, he should prove
a greater than-e star as captain
and guard of the Yale 1916 team. He
weighs 2O7 pounds.
McGrath, who was among the in
e1igib1es the greater part of last sea-
son, was Blacks teammate at Exeter,
and on the 1918 freshman team he
proved a man of nearly equal capabili-
ties, he outplayed every varsity cam
didate but Black, and as a varsity
man in 1916 should prove a worthy
teanamate for Ya1e's newly elected
football captain. He weighs 1913
pounds
vorys is the predicted center of
who worked between Black and Nc
Grath on the Eli freshman team q
year ago, and until his ineligibi1ity
was learned, he was believed by many
to be capable OF ol1tsing White from
the regular snapper-back berth. Be-
cause of his scholastic standing, how
ever, he was forced to spend the great
er part of the past season as center
on the ineligible team. Next fall, With
his standing regained and thanked by
his former freshman teammates, he
should enjoy a big year, as he is q
natural player with plenty of weight
and speed. He weighs 1872 pounds.
Ross and Avery, regular and SUBJ
stitute centers of the recent freshman
team, will be the. men who will force
Vorys to his best to retain permanent
hold on the pivot position.
The Yale general for 1916, picked by
the writer, is Van Nosfrand. Van
Nostrand won that place last year, af-
ter fighting his way through a host of
candidates, and with another years
coaching should develop into a most
reliable, if not brilliant, quarterback.
He weighs 1874 pounds.

SAYS MARANVlLLE
WON'T BE TRADED
FOR BUCK HERzOG

Boston, Dec. 15.-President Gaffney
of the Boston Braves came to bat
yesterday with the statement that
Rabbit Maranville b eing traded for
Buck Herzog of the Cincinnati Reds
Or anyone else, as a matter of fact.
The Braves owner was somewhat dis
turbed when he learIled5 it was ru-
mored the Springfield boy was to be
traded to Cincy and he lost no time
In spi<ing the yarn
He could mott wait for the trip to
Boston, neither did he depend upon
the telegraph or mail, but grabbed up
a telephone and demanded that he be
connected with his headquarters in
this city He then dictated the story
that will be pleasing to Meanwhile
and also Red Smith.
Smith was ment toned in the story as
the inventor of the tale. Smith was
severely injured while member of
the Braves and unless he has come
back, there would seem to be reason
that he and not NharaE1ville would be
the one considered for a trade
In denying the STORY, President Gaff-
ney of the Braves sad: ttOf course
the Braves would ike to get a player
like Buck Herzog. If the Braves are
offered Herzog it will be certain that
we viii carefully weigh the matter.
We would give considerable for Her
zig. but not Maranyi1Ie and Smith.
Hermann has not said a word to
me about any desire or Intention to
get rid IF Herzog. we haven t spoken
a word TO each other about a trade
whereby Herzog was to come. to the
braves. Isn't that Strong enough?''

New Haven, Dec. 15-Of the men
of 1915 who were considered the best
players in the various positions on
the Yale football team. only four will
be found in the diploma-grabbin
line that forms here next June. The
four men are Wilson, Wiedeman,
White and Way, the t'w'' quartet of
the Yale team, says Charles E.. Par
dee the well known football author
ity.
Providing the bad fairy does not in
terfere, all these losses should be
more than made up by the return to
Yale's next football squad of ineligi-
bIes and injured, and by the addition
of a fine lot of freshman players of the
past season.
Belts and Cemerford are the men
advanced by the writer for the ex-
tremity positions on the Yale 1916
team.
Belts won his Y as a tackle on Bud
Ea1bott's eleven in 1914 He beat out
Club Sheldon for the position, and
was the line star of the Princeton and
Harvard contests of that, season. Last
September he was made over into an
end and quickly won al varsity place,
which he held with honor until the
Yale-Lehigh game, in which he suf-
fered an injury which kept him on
der of the schedule. He is a natural
football player, and those who wit
messed his end play state he will oe
listed as one Of Yale's greatest ends
before the 1915 season has ended. He
weighs 184 pounds.
Comerford was captain and star
wingman the past season. He gained
his early football experience at Exc
ter, where for three years he shone
as a football man. On the freshman
team last fall he showed unmistaka-
bic varsity quality and in practice
games usually had the better Of his
varsity opponent. He is expected
to beat out Allen Mose1ey, BIodgett
and should prove a great man for the
Eli team. He weighs i IS pounds.
Ba1dridge and Kirkpatrick are the
men whose names are advanced as the
ikeuest tackles for the 1916 Eli vars
ity. Baldridge was a semi-regular
last season coming up from the 1913
freshman team with big. reputation
which he scarcely lived DIP to as<a
varsity man owing to injuries and re-
su1tinRpoor condition He won his
Y last season, and with better condi-
tfons greeting his football return next
fall. should prove a tackle of great
ability. He is picked to beat out
Club Sheldon and Gates who played
more or less regularly last season, for
a tackle position. He weighs 1877
pounds.
kirkpatrick, one of Exeter,s great
players of a year and two ago, came
to Yale last Septem Der and imme-
diateIy established himself as a tackle
on the Yale freshman team, proving
one of the best linemen ever to repre-

REACH AGREEMENT
TO END BASEBALL
FIGHT WITH FEDS

New York, Dec. 15-The first i'm
portant step toward peace between or
ganized ball and the Federal League
was made early yesterday morning at
a dinner given by President John K
Tener of the National League to the
club owners at the Republican club,
Toward the end of the dinner the Ma
dona1 League club owners were join
ed by President James A Gilmore,
of the Federal League and Harry F.
Sinclair, owner of the Newark Fed
era1 League club.
The terms of the compromise
which would settle the baseball war
and put the game back on a normal
basis were discussed in all their
phases in a conference which lasted
until the early hours of the morning
President Tener's statement is as
follows: ssCertain club owners of the
National League yesterday met repre-
Sentatives of the Federal League but
no readjustment of baseball condi-
lions can be made without an agree
ment of major leagues and pending
the decision of Judge Landis.'
In other words, it is now up to the
American League, which meets in
Chicago today. At yesterdays meet
ing of the National League Barney
Dreyfuss, President of the Pittsburgh
club, was delegated to go to Chicago
to put the peace prop oSition up to the
American League club owners at their
meeting today. If the plan for peace
is agreeable to the American League,
the Federal League will withdraw the
suit now in the hands Of Judge Lam
dis.
The. proposition is a big one, and,
if the present plans are. carried out
the st. Louis club will be sold to Phil
ip Ball. Last week SaH and Mr.. and
Mrs. Schuyler P. Britton, the owners
of the Cardinals, had a long confer
came to an agreement about the price
of the club and the st. Louis grounds.
Another angle of the peace condi-
lions is the sale of the Chicago Cubs
by Charles P. Taft to Charles Weegh-
man and William F. Walker of Chi
cago, the owners of the Federal
League club.

first appearance in the ring for more
than four years, and there was much
interest in the veterans comeback %
His victory over the third-rate Evans
inspired old Peter-although then in
his 10th year-with the idea that he
could annex the title which had evad-
ed him in former years, but this notion
was dissipated when he met Jack
Fitzgerald in the Quaker City q few
months later and was promptly put

In its plans to start away. with a

giving the league q fcothoII in The

Early in its history the American
League attempted this same thing
without success. IN 1901 ana 1892
President johnson forced all clubs
to keep hands off Pittsbure, SO that
the Pirates could tow-rope their field
and thus kill interest in the National
race. But as soon as it was decided
to switch the Baltimore franchise into

out himself and raided the Pittsburg
