LEAvE-TAkING
Though hence I go-though with the
fading day
I seem to fade away
Like to primrose which beguiling
spring,
Too early tanning with perfumed
wing,
Tempts, only to betray:
Though soon sleep-yet sorrow not
nor fear
That you shall lose me, dear!
For not one cherished memory
One single yearnina of your heart for
Shall fail to bring me near!
How strange could death divide who,
living, share
All happiness and care!
Still as you gaze, bereft Of your de-
sire,
On the dull embers of your lonely
fire,
You shall behold me there.
And though through hiemal glooms
you sometimes learn
To doubt, nor hope discern
Yet when the timid firstling buds
awake,
And birds come back and sing, your
heart to break
Always, I shall return!

Race Ends in Dram

ing dual for leadership Frank Dogherty
came up with a brilliant burst of speed
and when the runner reached the top of
the Monument Hill the Carroll athlete
took a commanding lead and sprinted
until he reached the Agriculture Building.
Here Schenmer came up with plenty Of
speed and the fight for first honoFs
had narrowed down to these boys. Shan
ley should have bettered his position as
he had trailed Dogherty over the entire
course, but when the sprint came on
the Monument Grounds instead of follow
ing the sprinters he followed the pace
which was set by Raumbaugh.
OF the six athletes who started last
night Dogherty and Stanley, OF Carroll
Institute, and Schenmer and Geiger
qualified for the finals which will be
held on Thursday night.

Federal League Sues
Organized Baseball
Under Trust Laws

Chicago. Jan. 5-Judge L.andis, Of the
Federal District Court, announced today
he would hear arguments on the appli-
cation Of the Federal Baseball League
for an injunction against ORGANIZED
baseball on January 90 The bill Of the
Federal magnates asks for the dissolu-
ton of the National Commission of or
ganized baseball on the ground that IL is
a trust, and asks that the commission
be restrained from doing business as a
combination.
Ban JOhnson's Statement.
President Ban johnson. of the Amer
lean League, when seen by The Wash
ington Herald's Chicago representative
yesterday, said briefly:
els that so. Well! No, / won't
say anything now. I will have no
statement to make at present. Later
I may make one
Gov. Tener. of Pennsylvania, presi-
dent of the National League, in reply
to questions anent the proposed Fed
eral League suit, telegraphed the fol-
lowing from Harrisburg, Pa:
81 have no Tear aa to the out
come of the legal proceedings or
that the validity of the national
agreement will be upheld by the
court. I only regret that because
of any eXlgent circumstances the
Federal League has felt impelled
10 undertake to annul an agree
ment which the members of that
league, as supporters and members
Of the national game, know full
well has materially contributed to
the upIift and betterment of the
game, and has been of great benefit
and protection to the players, and
general satisfaction to the public.
I can hardly believe that the InstI-
tuition of such litigation by the Fed
League will rebound to their credit
or meet with the approval of the
tens of thousands of patrons of Ouf
national game" g..
Garry Hermann, the Cincinnati mag
nate, the third member of the National
Commission. and also it's chairman,
treats the matter lightly in the fol-
lowing message:
"OrEanIzed baseball f. In no sense
combination in restraint of trade.
1--WE have never questioned the
right OF the FederaIs or any one else
10 establish professional circuits
and equip the same. j might re-
mark, eI OhicIO, that this move
looks very much like the dying
squeaI of a beaten crowd. They
have failed to lure enough men
from their allegiance to cut any
serious figure in the 1915 race; they
have only added to their own bur-
dens, and now they make this last
effort to create additional trouble.
"The court proceedings of 1914
did net give much encouragement
10 the FederaIs; to those new
under way, skilled attorneys can
doubtless speak more clearly than
myself. We are not worrying; on
the exact contrary, we think this

Dogherty, of Carroll Insti-
tute, and Schenmer, of
Baltimore Outfit, Cross the
Tape on Even Terms.

Frank Dogherty, of Carroll Institute,
and Douglass Schenmer, of the Cross
Country Club of Baltimore, last night
ran a dead heat over the five-mile course
in the second preliminary of the Cosmos
Theater novelty road race in the fast
time Of twenty-four minutes fiat.
Joe Geiger, the speed merchant OF the
winged-footed club of the Monumental
City, pulled up in third position fifteen
seconds behind the winners, while Raum-
baugh, famed for his long-distance hik-
ing at the University of Virginia, trailed
Geiger by two seconds. Paul Stanley
was the second Carroll athlete to cross
the board, being one second behind
Raumbaugh, who carried the colors OF
the Cross Country Club OF Baltimore.
Jack Dillon, of the Tenth Street Club,
finished in sixth position, but twenty-five
seconds behind the winners.
BY Dogherty and Schenmer finishing
as winner in this preliminary they fur
nished the biggest surprise OF the races
so far. by beating the famed speed artist
Joe Geiger. Geiger is easily the best
runner that the Baltimore outfit can put
into the finals or into the South Atlantic
championship on Saturday, and with
DOgherty running on equal terms with
Geiger the Carroll stock at capturing
the champs again this year have taken
big boast.
Geiger jumped into the led as the run
ner turned into Tenth street, and in
creased his distance until at the first
mile, which is at the bottom Of the hill
at the Monument, he was 800 yards out
in front, although Schenmer was push
ing him strongly. Schenmer made up go
yards, and when the flyer from Balti-
more crossed the bridge on the return
voyage Schenmer was twenty yards in
the rear.
While Geiger and Schenmer were hav-
