POPE DEPLORES WEAKNESS
Suffers, He Says, Because He Is Power
less to End War.

Rome, Oct. 26.-Pope Benedict. In an
interview published in the "Avvenire
DTtalis," expressed bis deep affection
at the tragic events ravaging Europe
and his suffering at being obliged to
look on powerless.
The Pope said that he thought only
Of the day when the rulers Of the war
ring peoples should understand the
necessity and the duty of ending the
carnage which was overthrowing all
human and divine laws.
The Holy Father abstained, he said,
from passing judgments which had no
practical result and caused fresh re-
ordinations and sowed fresh discords.
He deplored the violence and the bar
barities practised in a war in which
the conquests of science were placed
at the service Of murder.
In conclusion, the Pope declared
that, his appeal for peace having been
unheard. he would continue his chari-
table work for the benefit Of the
wounded.

Philadelphia. March 6.-lalc strength
ened her chances for the intcrcollegi-

man Hall here tonight by defeating
cnn syivania by score of 2S to II.
Tho speedy Blue five carried the
Quakers of their feet, so fast and sure
was their play. and from the start
there was hardly a doubt of the ulti-
mate result. At half time Yale was on
the long end of Ia TO score. Never
IN college basketball in this city has p
team shown such shooting as the Blue
did tonight. Only the close guarding
OF the Penn team prevented a more
one-sided result.
In contrast Penn's shooting was medl-
OGRE. partly due to the excellent de-
fence provided by Charlie Taft and Ar
mold. the Yale guards. and partly ac-
counted for by the inability Of the Red
and Blue forwards to show anything
like scoring ability. Penn was nearly
shut out of the field goal column in
the first half and was able 10 amass
a total of only four two pointers
throughout the entire game.
The second half was marred by an
unfortunate injury TO Captain Seelbach.
who was playing his last game for the
Red and Blue, having his arm badly

Optimism the Keynote
in Camp Of Federals

was filed in the Federals' suit against
organized baseball should not be lost
sight Of
THE nub of the situation in baseball!
is centred in the contention of organ
lied baseball that the laws Of Its own
making arc higher than those OF the
state or nation.
The aggressiveness Of the Federal
League will not be turned into such
channels as those followed by organ
lied baseball. If the men supposed TO
be in control do not practise honorable
business methods there can be only
ono course left for the players.
After every bit OF ammunition has
been exhausted by organized baseball
in trying to uphold that might IS
greater than right in this controversy,
there will be permanent place Tor
the Federal League as practitioner
along the lines of business decency IN
dealing with affairs of the national
game. Fans who from the outset o.
the baseball war have sought only
peace and honorable adjustment OF the
differences have had chance to com
pare methods and men. The findings,
if based on fair play principles oil
study. can bring only additional sup
porters TO the Federal League cause.
Having found it impossible TO get
a hearing in the Middle West or East,
Ban Johnson was obliged TO go 10 the
Pacific Coast to get an audience for his
Fed killing speciality. Bluit and
abuse have lost ground so rapidly IN
the fight that the new weapons of con-
tract breaking and generalization have
been brought in by organized baseball
in defiance of the standards OF decency
which should surround the national
game.
THE Federal League as a body. the
men i'm organized baseball who have
enough sportSmanship to put principle
on the same shelf with their pocket
books and the fans at large control
the baseball of the future. Every
revelation Of inside baseball as played
by the magnates adds to the force Of
aroused public sentiment against the
cotcrie of men who. having failed to
Kill the Federal League by Bullying
methods, dragged the honor and man
hood of the national games expo
nents into the disgusting mess made
by the stubbornness of men who, hay-
ing been wrong in their predictions OF
an early death of the Federal League,
rcckleSsly turned their weapons on
TIE fundamentals of the game itself.
The convenient method OF blaming
the Federal League has been abused
to such an extent that the fans have
been awakened to truths, and a win
ter's study Of conditions has put the
public and press in mood for weigh
ing men and methods. The Federal
League has faith in the judgment of

MAGE QUASHES

LRy Telegraph 70 The Tribune. ]

Browns Wells, Miss, March 6.-The
report that came from the Tip Tops
camp here yesterday that Lee Magee
has been trying to get Bill James, OF
the Boston Braves, to join his forces
does not seem to ring true.
Hap Myers, the Brookfed first base
man, who is boyhood friend of James,
came to New Orleans on the same train
with James. Two newspaper men, who
were at the station when the train ar
rived, saw Myers alight and James
standing on the platform bidding My
ers goodby. This further strengthens
the belief that James had no intention
of joining the Tip Tops. Magee told
reporters on Friday night that he did
not know of James's coming to this
camp. He also stated that he had
never made overtures to James to join
his team, but would be mighty glad to
get him.
soon after breakfast Msgee called
together his charges and told them
that they you'd have TO attend strictly
to business from now on. Then they
marched for a mile or more through
mud to the ball grounds. which were
still vet from recent transforms. The
outfeld was so soggy that the men had
TO do their work in the inheld. Toss
ing the ball and batting were the next
stunts the boys had to perform. The
