A 500 COLD BAT
Champion W. L. Swatter Will
Get a Handsome Trophy.
New Spirit in League Since
Zehrung Took Reins.

Lincoln, Neb., March sO-Almost
every day Frank Zehrung, president
of the Western league, receives new
evidence that interest in baseball
throughout the circuit is growing
greater than was ever before known
since the establishment of the league.
One of the most pronounced evil
dences is a letter received by Mr.. Zeh-
rung from a jewelry firm of Omaha
offering to give 500 gold baseball
bat to the player in the league who
has the highest official batting aver
age at the end of the season.
The Omaha firm states that the bat
will be especially made for the West
ern league champion Swatter and that
it will be engraved to suit his tastes
free of charge after it has been deter
mined who is to receive it.
A New Spirit
1t is said that never before has any
business institution on the circuit OF
the Western league displayed enough
interest in the national game to offer
a prize of any material value, and
the fact that the Omaha firm has
hung up a 500 trophy is indicative
of the rejuvenation of the boosting
spirit resulting from the installation
of Mr.. Zehrung as president of the
league.
In accepting the offer of the valu.
able bat, President Zehrung has speci-
fled that the winner must have played
in at least rs of the championship
games of the season. The name OF
the firm donating the bat is Brode.

Mastery in handling the pigskin is
the big point which Coach Olcott is
emphasizing in the spring workouts.
The major portion of the practice time
is taken up with punting and the Kan
sas coach has announced that he has
discovered at least three real" kick

however, but told the university foot

SUE FOR 100000
Baltimore Fed Club Brings Big
Action Against o. B.
Verdict for Plaintiffs May
Wreck National Game.

Philadelphia, Pa, March 3O.-Or-
ganized baseball is facing another at
tack against its existence in a suit for
100000 damages filed in the United
States district court here under the
national antitrust laws by the Fed
eral baseball club of Baltimore. The
defendants in the suit are the National
and American leagues and the Is clubs
making up their membership, the
three members of the national base
ball commission-James A. Gilmore,
Charles A. Weeghman and Harry Sin
clair, formerly of the Federal league.
If the Federal league club of Balti-
more wins its suit organized baseball
will be in peril of attack by the ma
tional government, it is said. The diff
ference between this suit and the one
begun by the Federal league against
organized baseball in Chicago in jan
uary, 1915, is that the present action
is one for damages only, while the
first one was an injunction to restrain
organized baseball from doing certain
acts alleged to be in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law.
Show 1t Trust.
To win the present action, the Bal
timore club must show that organized
baseball as at present constituted is
in violation of the Sherman antitrust
law and the Clayton antitrust act. If
it proves this and RECEIVERS damages,
lawyers said, the government may
have to take recognizance of the court
decision.
The Baltimore club alleges that it
was not considered in the negotiations
last winter which resulted in the So
called peace agreement between or
ganized baseball and the Federal
league owners and that in conse-
quence it suffered a loss of 100000
federal antitrust laws.
The bill of complaint gives a history
of the present organization of the
game, charges that organized baseball
entered into conspiracy to wreck the
Baltimore club and goes into details
Of the negotiations whereby the Fed
eral league was eliminated from base
ball competition
MonopoIize Commerce.
The Baltimore club charges that the
National and American leagues are
operating in a combination or conSpir-
acy to restrain trade and have con-
spired to monopolize or to attempt to
monopolize a part of the commerce of
the states in violation of the federal
antitrust laws
The bill of complaint states that in
the alleged conspiracy to wreck the
Federal league organized baseball
gave or secured to the Brooklyn
Federal league club 100000 to in
duce that club to cease competing with
the defendants and that by cash con-
"flattery and persuasion" induced
Charles A. Weeghman and his asso-
ciates to desert the Federal league.

Manhattan Pitcher to Get in Majors
Through Efforts of Quig1ey.

Manhattan, Kan, March 30.-That
Manhattan is due to have a represen-

more than a possibility. Clark Rector,
manager of the Manhattan Ramb1ers
last season, has received a letter from
E. c. Quigley, umpire in the National
league, asking for information of the
whereabouts of Bob Baker, who filled
the box for the Ramblers last season.
In his letter Quigley announces that
he can secure Baker a contract Clark
Rector declared last year that he was
going to get Baker into fast company
and it looks as if his promise was
more than talk.
Some time ago Baker was offered
a chance with the Gulf league He
is now in Manhattan waiting for the
contract, which the manager of the
Dallas team informed him would be
forwarded. In a few more days he
would have signed away his chances,
this year, of appearing in big com
pany.

Plans for the bureau recently were
completed by A. Caminetti. Commissioner

years in studying the causes of de-
linquency among working girls, was Sc
lected to head the bureau.
1t is believed that the bureau, by CO.
operating with official and unofficial or
ganizations throughout the country. will
do much to reduce the dangers that be-
set the working girl when she finds her
self out of work.

of the question today, sad:
My interest for years has been CEN
tered upon the delinquent girl. I have

wrong, tabulated with a general view

the crux of the whole trouble lies in the
economic condition, particularly of the
