MAY NOW ABOLISH
FATAL BOWL FIGHT

Philadelphia, Jan. 10. - The bowl
fight, which has been an annual event
at the University Of Pennsylvania for
more than half a century, as well as
similar forms Of class rivalry, probably
will be abolished as the result of yes
terday's battle between the sophomore
and freshman classes in which one
student lost his life and six others
were injured. Students who witnessed
the battle said the fighting was marked
by the fercest scrimmage and toughest
tactics they had ever seen, but the IA
tality and large number of injuries
were due to slippery field, they de-
clared. About four hundred freshmen
and three hundred sophomores took
part in the battle.
All of the injured students are ex-
pected to recover.

TINKER SETTLES
ON BRUIn LINEUP
Eddie Mulligan Not Named in Pros.
pectiye Infeld for Cubs for
Coming Year.

Chicago, Jan. 13.-Steve Yerkes will
play second base for the Cubs the COM
ing season, and, with the acquisition
of the former Red Sox Tinker's team
is practically complete. President
Weeghmann is still angling for Pitcher
Gene Packard, but if he doesn't get
him Tinker has promised to hit the
stretch in front, anyway.
In addition to making a deal f)r
Yerkes, President Weeghmann also
settled the question of training camp
yesterday. Tampa will be the favored
place and the Florida city will be in
vaded the night of March 7. Originally
it had been decided to start south
March 10, but when Manager Tinker
was told Tampa had been selected
he insisted on getting away on March
5. This will give the team five more
days at the southern resort.
I'VE may be after one or two 9th
ers, but Yerkes is the man l wanted.
Can you beat our combination now
Hardly. Here we have Safer at first
base. Yerkes at second, Doolan at
short and Zimmerman at third. Some
infield, ! should say. 1t is what
might call giant infeld, too. Every
one a sizeable man, with no midgets
like myself"
why not count yourself in?" was
asked.
"Oh, we'll, might get into the game
if it should be necessary" said Joe
"but l don't think I will have to. Be-
sides l have Zeider, Mulligan and Far
rell for utility men, and they are good
enough for any team"
The price paid for Yerkes was not
made official, although it was some
where between $4,000 and $4,000. He
will receive the same salary as at
Pittsburgh.

ENGLISH RACE FANS
BARRED OFF TRAINS

London, Jan. 13.-The race course
association, in announcing the open
ing Of a race meeting at Windsor in
the latter part of the week says the
principal objection to racing has
been the pressure that it put on the
railway association and therefore it
has been stipulated with the govern
ment that nobody will be allowed to
attend the races who must travel TO
Windsor by train.
The association will have detectives
In all neighboring railway stations and
any persons caught coming to the

Giants. The price placed on the club
thus far by Mr.. Hampstead has been
ridiculous, however, and does not war
rant serious consideration. While the
Giants have made big profits in the
past, they have made 1t on a capital
stock of $250,000. which is entirely
different from making big profits on

vented congress from taking what would appear to be the most sensible course under the circumstances. If Americans are restrained from tray cling on ships that are liable to be attacked there Is little chance that we would have any trouble with Germany over the submarine question. AS 1t is If the presldent clings to his un- compromising attitude every American woh sails on an armed ship belonging to a belligerent power Is a possible cause of war. Considering the possi- bilities. we repeat that MT. Wilson has made the most important and far reaching decision of the war period and one that is unauestionably fraught with grave danger to the nation.
 What he is going to do about IL in the event that Germany boldly defies him, one cannot guess. To all ap- pearances he has decided upon a course of action that will ultimately lead us into a mess unless his diplo- matic powers and resources are of far greater potency than his earlier triumphs would suggest. The Lusi' tania sinking brought us to the very verge of war and war seems the inevi- tible result of the continuance of the present policy whether Ii be right or wrong

 in realistic manner his impressions and views of Alaska. The following Is what might be termed the perora- ton and it is prJdsced herewith be- cause it is entitled fo rank among the classics:
 And now reluctantly my pen and Alaska part, but not forever. How can l forget this big poor. rich terri tory? So long as l can secure the public ear through my pen and voice will try to help Alaska to her own, sc long will advocate the making States instead of a territory. This country of contradictions with the Arctic ocean on one side and the warm Japan current on the other; this far north country of perpetual spring and winter; this country of glaciers anl

NOME, ALASKA, FEB. 25. 1916.

The announced intention of the
 president to agree to no legislation
 designed to prevent American citizens
 from travelling on the ships of bell-
 gerent nationss. regardless of whether
 they are armed or not, and that he
 will continue to insist that Germany
 shall agree to observe the information
 al law as applied to neutrals In the
 conduct of her new submarine cam
 paign, Is without doubt the most far
 reaching decision that so far been
 arrived at with regard to the stua
 tions created by the war. In fact l.
 would seem at first glance that in
 taking this stand the president Is
 committing the United States to a
 course of action that is inevitably
 bound to bring us into conflict with
 the central powers sooner or later
 unless they shall renounce their in-
 tention of sinking all armed ships of
 the enemy nations without warning
 To many 1t will probably appear that the executive Is really inviting trou ole by flying in the foce of providence By his decision the president has practically denied the right of congress 10 adopt legislative means of prevent
 Ing Americans from being jeodardized
 through travelling on the armed yes
 sels of belligerent nations and at same time has placed himself on record as intending to force the issue with Ger
 neutrals to travel the high seas with
 out being placed in undue jeopardy Thus on the one hand he shuts of the only practicable preventative meas ure which can be adopted to prevent possibilities of the most calamitous
 character; on the other he decides those possibilities In an extreme de- gree. In taking this stand the presi- dent Is undoubtedly firmly intrenched behind the international law. There Is no question that Americans or other neutrals are privileged to travel upon the merchant ships of the belligerents without being placed in undue jeo- hn dinary conditions of warfare they would, even under the terms of inter- national law. be subject to capture and detention but In no case are they to be placed in positions of undue danger save in the event of resistance by the vessel upon which they are embarked It Is therefore plain that Germany. In announcing her intention to sink without warning all vessels of enemy nations in the event that they are armed, Is preparing to defy the accepted principle of international law and custom.
 In this she is unquestionAbly wrong, l despite her protestations that the con l ditions are such that she has no other 1 than to adopt the announc ed course of action, and the president, in his self constituted capacity of champion of the rights of neutrals. Is l, preparing to dispute the question. What this will lead to Is, of course, q matter that no one can forsee. By his action In refusing to consider leg islation designed to prevent Americans from travelling on vessels that are liable to be attacked by the German submarine. be has practically pre-
