Wolfe played a great defensive game

scoring honors by caging six goals
from the field. All. of these were
scored after he had taken the ball

by the help of his teammates.

lnternationals to Take
Up Baseball Plans at
Meeting in New York

New York, Jan. 12.-The Interna-
uonal League will be in the held IN
1918, it was stated by n club owner
of this Glass AA organization. The
circuit is not in such dire financial
straits as was suspected when at the
annual meeting here last month it
was voted to cut former President
Ed. Barrow's salary from $500 to
S2,500 a year. In fact, six of the eight
clubs are willing to carry on ana
there is every probability at the next
meeting here, on February II, that
the two dissatisfied cities will be re-
placed by others anxious TO secure
a higher grade of baseball.
The announcement that the Inter
national League is looking around for
a capable executive to carry on the
fight throughout the approaching
season was vouchsafed by club
owner, who always has been most
friendly TO Barrow, and one who ap-
preciates thoroughly the executive
ability of that capable baseball man.
Unfortunately a majority of his fel-
low club owners allowed personal
pique to overbalance sound business
sense, and Barrow was made the VIC
tim of spleen.
The scheme to slash BarroF's sal
airy in such a scandalous manner
was not prompted by economical nee
essity. 1t was done to intimate to Ed.
in no uncertain terms that he was
no longer desired. He took the hint,
of course, and resigned Immediately.
The attack was framed by those IN
control OF the Richmond, Rochester,
Providence and Montreal CLUBS
These were the four clubs which
would have been sacrificed in the in
terests of an amalgamation with four
cities of the American ASSOCIATION
had Barrow been able to put through
his merger at the annual meeting OF
the National Association at Louis"

SNOW AND WATER
HOLD BACK TRAFFIC

IContinued from First Page.l
Wcrkmen finally got the wire re-
paired and the line in operation.
Enola cars were run over the Marys-
Vile line during the break.
With zero weather forecast for to-
night. all efforts were being turned
to-day to get the slush cleared from
trolley and railway tracks, pavements
and necessary highways to avoid
trouble from freezing.
Passengers Slow
Trolley car schedules were held up
considerably because passengers in
cars this morning refused to help the
crews Men already in the cars
would refuse to move forward so
that men wanting TO get to work ana
who were holding up the cars could
get in. Conductors could pot give
the signal to go ahead until the men
on the steps could push their way
into the car.
An official of the traction company
to-day declared that with more CO.
operation on the part of passengers
and others the service could be bet
tered considerably.
Tho driving of trucks and carts
between the tracks has its disadvan-
tages. he pointed out. Breakdowns
mean that three or four cars are held
up from ten to twenty minutes.
Yesterday a motormap arrived in
the Square to report that he and the
conductor had been forced to help
in the picking up of load of bricks
that a careless driver had upset when
trying to turn out of the tracks.
Another crew hunted through a
backyard and a cellar to find a
plumber who left his cart standing in
the middle of the street.
Schedules Shaken
Entered on the company's books as
one reason for a tieup on the lines
was the falling of a mule. The ami
NAL was afraid to get up even after
the motorman embarrassed 1t from
the shafts. Three other cars were
standing behind the first when the
track finally was cleared.
"Vehicular traffic is the chief inter-
ference with our schedules" said the
official.
You can't have good trolley sched-
ules with this kind of interference
Why, on the Saturday before Christ
mas we sent two men to hustle the
traffic around Broad Street Market
for we knew it was going to be the
biggest day of the year. But do all
they could, the first cars were fifty
five minutes getting around the loop.
Everything is concentrated on the
tracks nowadays"
The traction official volunteered tn
information that the company was
using everything on wheels that can
60" even their funeral cars being
called into service to haul workmen
early in the mornings. He said that
they had great difficulty in getting
new carwheels. Ordinarily they have
a couple months supply on hand.
but the Government demands are so
great now that the company is lucky
20 get few in every couple weeks.
The Government also stepped in. he
told, and relieved the company OF a
transformer which was just about to
be installed and which would have
furnished many more units of power.
