 The sophomores worked overtime and rang up two victories one over the ju- nors, and the other over Paul Hayne. Coughlin and Hollums were star per formers in both engagements The score of the junor defeat was IA to1 while the Paule Hayne boys were swamped Il to ?.

DREyFUSS ADMITS PAST SEASON WAS PRECAR|OUS ONE Writes Article for Official Yale Organ-Tells of
 the Reasons for
 Peace

New Haven, Conn.,, January 13 Barney Dreyfuss owner of the Pitts burg National league club, writing in the official Yale organ, admits that the past season was a precarious one for the National league, but he now looks forward to revival of interest in baseball because of the settlement of the war conditions brought on by the Federal league.
 Nearly every club in organized base- ball, he says, was obliged to increase its salary list, owing to the discontent of players and in the case of the Pitts burg club alone this amounted to s44,- 900 in excess of the payment in nor nal times Some of the clubs had salary list of s115,oOO The Federal league, he believes, took S3,O00,000 away from the National and American leagues in 1915.
 He recommends that the best play CTS of the Federal league be distrib- uted among the second division teams of the past season, in order to assure more successful season in 1916.
 Dreyfuss said, in discussing summer baseball for collegians, that he believed that a player could learn more ball in one summer than in three college sea sons.
 In an indirect way Dreyfuss tells of the reasons that made peace essen tial
 The reason for organized baseball's seeking peace with the Federals is given in the statement that the 1915 season was a precarious one for the National league. The paragraph fol- lows:
 'The past season in the National league was precarious one. Fortu- nately, the eight clubs were fairly evenly matched and there was race from start, to finish. This to my way of thinking, was all that saved the club owners. for. had there been anything like a runaway, the attendances would not have been even as large as they were"
 Dreyfuss goes on to writes, as fol- lows:
 "One improvement that will be noted now that the Federal league has passed will be the better work of those players who took advantage of a third league. During 1914 and 1915 club owners and managers experienced difficulty in handling the men under them.
 While I do not mean to intimate |that there was no discipline, do want to say that there were some players who used the existence of the Federal league as a means of getting by with work that could be regarded as noth- ing else than indifferent. With no ha- ven of refuge for the malcontents and the shirkers, managers and club own CTS will be in a position to handle their own business and their own play CTS.
 N 'The ballplayer will realize hence forth, as he realized prior to the ad vent of the Federals. that he must play freal baseball in the major leagues, and that his continuance as a player in the major leagues will depend solely upon his own effort, his ability to de- liver the goods expected of him.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-01-14


 The entire blame for the affair is due to the league officials, according to the Pratt City representative. At a recent meeting of the Alabama Soccer Football association the appeal of the Pratt City team to allow Speedie, center forward, to play with them in Saturdays game was refused.
 The association turned down the appeal on the grounds that Speedie was under agreement to play with Docena and since he had not secured his release from that team. he was ineligible to play in Satur- days game. Speedie has bees playing with the Pratt City boys for the past few games and his services were highly valued by the Pratt City followers.
 There is no question as to whether Speedie was under agreement to play with Docena but, it is understood, that Pratt City wanted the association to lift the band and allow Speedie to play.
 T was surprised to know that Pratt City had withdrawn" said Secretary Viii
