POLICE SEEK CARLTON, WHO IS
BADLY IN WRONG.
While Chicago police kept an eye
out for Martin Carlton today, catch
ing him will probably never be a job
for the local force. He skipped last
week when a relative of his wife,
whom they say he left eight years
ago, appeared in the court of do
nestle relations and announced that
he was living under an assumed
name to hide his past.
Aside from his relatives and the
police Carlton is also sought by
friends Of 16-year-OId Mary Keppel,
a chambermaid at the Culver hotel in
South Chicago, who accuses him of
mistreating her, his bOndsman in this
case, Patrick Altman, 5000 CONNER
cial aV., and a dozen former friends
among the business men of South
Chicago from whom he is said to
have borrowed large sums just be-
fore leaving.
Michael Captain, 1869 Douglas
blvd, said to be the man who ex-
posed Carlton, told attaches of the
court Of domestic relations that I'M
der the name "Hyman COnviser"
Carlton married his sister and then
fed, leaving her with a baby. Mrs.
COnviser died in 1913.

MAGNATES Will STICK
TO SALARIES OFFERED
Major Leagues to Ignore Hold-outs
Such as Lewis and Alexander.

New York, Jan. 3o-With the possible
exception of a few players. such as
Grover Cleveland Alexander, Duffy Lewis
or Walter MaranvilIe, who are holding
out for larger salaries this year, club own
ers In the two big leagues will stick gem
orally to the salaries they have offered in
contracts already sent out.
This was verified today by President
Tener with reference to the National
League, and 1t is logical to believe that
the American will take the same stand.
Mr.. Tener says there Is little or no
chance that the owners will raise salaries
to meet the demands of some Of the play
ers.
He points out that even though attend
ance in the two major leagues last sea
son was larger than It has been for a
number of years, some of the clubs lost
money. He champions the cause of the
owners by saying that the players must
consider that the magnates expect to
realize fair return on their investments
The continuous paying out or enormous
salaries will keep them from getting a
fair profit. Heavy losses from year to
year have decided the owners to take a
firm stand in lessening expenses.

HOMEWOOD field GETS
THE COLLEGE CHAMPS
Johns Hopkins Awarded South Atlantic
intercollegiate Track Meet.

Baltimore. Md, Jan. 3O.-As result OF
a vote taken today by the members Of
the South Atlantic Intercollegiate Ath-
letic Association at Homewood Field here,
the home OF Johns Hopkins University
has been chosen as the scene of the track
and field championships, which are to be
held on May II and T.
The big event OF the season for the
Southern colleges was also held in Balti-
more last year. The members OF the
Southern division of the association are
Johns Hopkins. University of North Car
Uhna. Georgetown University. Georgia
School of Technology. St Johns College,
Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Richmond
College. University of Virginia. Washing
ton and Lee, Catholic University and
George Washington University, and only
representatives OF these colleges will be
eligible in the collegiate events.
The vote which gave Hopkins the pref
CrenCe over University Of Virginia for en-
tertaining the visiting runners was by a
small margin.
Princeton some time ago applied for ed
mission to the Southern division, but
after the schedule of engagements had
been completed, the Princeton manage
ment found that it would be impossible
10 arrange the Princeton schedule to
agree, and consequently the application
was withdrawn.

HATCHETITES PLAY
GALLAUDET SATURDAY

Nothing is left undone in the way OF
drilling the men for the coming engage
ment Saturday between the Gallaudet
and George Washington tossers at Ken
dali Green.
This game is expected to be one OF the
best contests played this season.
In Harmon the Hatchetites have a good
a center as has been seen in this vicinity
for some time. and it is expected that
Almon, the little left forward. who was
away off in the Davis and Elkins game,
should be at his best in this contest
Coach Jack Hass has a fighting COM
bination in his charge from Gallaudet.
and has been driving his men as hard as
possible. Showey, left forward for the
Kendall Greeners. Is a good man, and
when he and Almon oppose each other
some good playing is anticipated.

NATIONAL LEAGUE May
SUFFER FROM STRIKE
Many American Circuit Stars Are
Under Long Term Contracts.

New York, Jan. So.-Unless this foolish
baseball strike is headed OF before n..t
season the National League will have 10
bear the brunt Of it. The Players Fra
ternity could cripple the American
League and cause II a lot OF snnoysnce.
holdover contracts and nonfrsternity
members eight fairly efficient teams could
be placed in the field, writes FrederSck
G. Lieb in the New York Sun.
On the other hand, the National League
would consist Of the Giants and seven
other teams consisting largely of minor
leaguers and semi-professionals.
The fact that neither the Cleveland
nor Athletic teams are represented in
the fraternity and that the New York
and Chicago clubs had most Of their
stars signed TO long-term contracts en-
ables the Johnsonisn forces to present a
much stronger front than the Tener
league. Then practically all OF the great
stars in the American Deague-walter
Johnson, Ty Cobb. Iris Speaker, Eddi.
Collins. Frank Baker, Joe jackson, Roy
Schalk, George Sisler. Babe Ruth, Ernie
Shore. Jack Barry, Bert shotton, Ray
Caldwell and Lee Magee-are signed.
The one outstanding star Of the Ma
tional League-Groyer Cleveland Alex
ander-is a determined holdout. The only
National League topliners signed appear
to be Charley Herzog. Jake Daubert, and
Al MamsUN.
In the American League there are
several hold-oUts, including Nick Cul-
lop. whose fine work early last season
kept the Yankees up among the leaders
Nick let II be known last Saturday that
unless he obtains an increase in salary
he will not play for the Yankee next
season.
The only fraternity players on the
Cleveland team are Iris Speaker and
Bobbie Roth, both OF whom were in the
union before they went to the Indians
Speaker is working under a holdovsr
contract and Roth did not sign The
''nonsign" pledge. He has accepted
terms.
While the Athletics are not in the
fraternity. three OF the FIVE real players
on the club-Schang. Strunk and Bush
are threatening TO play semi-pro ball
unless Connie comes along with more
money. McInnis and Elmer Meyers are
the only valuable Athletic PLAYERS under
contract. Ping Bodie, drafted from the
San Francisco club. is another salary
holdout hut Mack could probably patch
up a team which would match his
frightful s-gregations Of 1915 and 1876
Bill Donovan could place a club IN
the field tomorrow which could give snv
team a battle, with Baker. Peck. Gedeon

TECHNICAL BEATEN
BY BUSINESS QUINT
Stenographers Land Long End of
Count in Inter High School
Basketball League.

The Business High School quint de-
feated the Technical tossers in one Of
the hardest fought basketball games Of
the inter-high school series yesterday in
the ~ Gym. The Stenographers rail-
lied around B. Wise, in his last high
school appearance, and surprised Tech
by handing them the short end OF the
score, q to 16.
This, was a little setback TO the lead
ers as they expected to take the meas
ure OF the Stenographers, but were not
so fortunate in shooting sskets as their
opponents. Techs forwards would drib-
BILE the ball down the floor only to
loose it to Business after a try for
the basket had failed Tech played a
good offensive game and several times
took the ball away from Business, but
were not able to get away with an open
shot for the basket, as Business always
had a man covering the player carrying
the ball.
Ralph Wise was at his best in shoot
ing baskets from the floor, as he register
ed five OF the ten baskets Gagged by his
/ teammates. Tech was only able to col
lect five baskets during the game, three
in the first half and two in the last
| period. The first half ended with the
score 13 to in favor Of the Stenog-
raphers.
In the second half Business increased
| its lead by ten points while Tech was
only able TO register nine points. Tech
| Gagged two goals from the floor during
this half while Business was making
| four
Tabbs, of Tech. had the edge a B.
Wise in shooting baskets from tf foul
circle. as he put in six out of ten, while
Buck Wise gathered five out OF eleven.
Catlin, De lie Verne and PeifTer did the
best work for Tech and were in the
fray all the way. B. Wise, r. Wise and
Glessner were the best Of the Stenog-
| raphers. Buck Wise showed some OF
the best passing OF his career la this

NEW YORK BOXING
HANGS In BALANCE

New York. Jan. 3O.-The fate OF boxing
in New York is hanging in the balance
at Albany today.
Fred Wenck, chairman of the State
boxing commission, is being tried on a
charge Of using unlawful methods in
the handling of his position by Harry
Pollock, manager of Freddie Welsh, Pat
Powers and John White, promoters are
backing up Pollock's charges.
Wenck is specifically accused of de-
manding 5000 for the granting of a
license to Pollock and his associates to
conduct boxing in Madison Square Gar
den. II the accusations of the trio are
proven to the satisfaction of Governor
Whitman's special investigator, it will
mean Wenck's dismissal. and probably
tho repeating of the law which Iegalizes
boxing in New York.
