TIGER FIVE BEATEN.
Cornell Basketball Quintet Proves Too
Fast for Princeton.

Princeton. n. J., March The
Cornell basketball team found Prince
ton an easy victim here last night,
winning by a score of 35 to is.
The fast Ithaca five gave the best
exhibition of floor work and sensa-
tional shooting that has been seen
here this year but the poor defense
Of the Tigers kept the game from be-
ing interesting.
The playing of Molinet, who Gagged
five difficult baskets, was the feature
of the game, although Capt. Ortner
took individual scoring honors with
five foul goals and three baskets from
the floor. Cornell led from the start,
Stewart scoring in the first few min
utes of play, and the score at the end
of the half stood Is to 10 in Cornelrs
favor

FEDS SUIT Brings
COMMISSION TRUCE
Garry Hermann to Remain at
Head Of National Directors

New York, March 1.-The new
conspiracy suit of the Baltimore Fed
eral league directors against or
ganized baseball which comes UP in
the supreme court of the District Of
Columbia in Washington on March 20
has brought about a truce in the
National commission situation. AS a
result, Garry Hermann, the present
chairman, is likely to remain indefi-
nitely.
John Heydler, president of the Ma
tional league, said yesterday that the
joint commission which has the Sc
lection of a commission chairman in
charge, never held a meeting and that
there is little likelihood of any such
meeting being held in the near future.
The question of selecting a new
chairman of the National commission
is entirely up to this committee" said
Heydler, land I have kept my hands
off 1 believe that also has been
Johnson's attitude. But 1 do not
think anything will be done on the
commission matter until the end OF
the Federal league suit.
The suit is lodged against the Ma
tional commission, the major league
club presidents and Gilmore and Sim
clair, formerly of the Federal league.
LAS Mr.. Hermann was chairman of
the commission when the peace
treaty with the Federal league was
signed and is likely to figure quite
prominently in the trial, it would not
be advisable to change the chairman
just now"
There also is a belief in some base
ball circles that it might prejudice
the case were q new chairman Sc
lected after the case had come up for
trial Hermann was the leading
witness for organized ball in the Fed
eral leagues antitrust suit, heard be
fore Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands
in Chicago in 1915
BY the time that the Baltimore
Federal suit is over the baseball sea-
son will be only few days away, and
If Hermann continues to fill the Of
flee of commission chairman when
the season opens it is a certainty he
will hang on for another year.

Jersey Commission Willing.
It was pointed out to Dow1s that
lJohn s. Smith, chairman of the New
Jersey boxing commission, had an
bounced some time ago that he was
opposed to the Willard dempsey bat
$le being fought in that state and
Ehat the commission would not issue
b sanction for such bout. DOWNS
fecIared that Richard had since been
ia frequent communication and that
he New Jersey commissioner had
changed his views on the subject.
Downs admitted that his statement
vas not official, but intimated that he
deceived his Impressions during a con-
ference with Richard in Chicago
1vhen the picture contracts were sign
Id.
So far as the exact location of the
battle-ground was concerned Downs had
ho information, but as Richard has
stated that he would build an open
ir arena it is probable a tract of
ground close to Weehawken would be
eiected.
May Add to Round Limit.
It has been asserted that a bill in
reasing the rounds to u and provid-
Ing for decisions will be introduced as
n amendment to the present Jersey
boxing law, and if this were put
through before the present session
hnds it would pave the way for the
big bout
Taken in connection with Richards
recent declara ton that the bout
would be staged in the east the state
Enents of Downs are rather significant.

National Tuberculosis Association.
Which Sponsors Sale. VIII Place
65o,0o0,o0o Seals on Sale to
Finance the Fight Against
tuberculosis.

The Red Cross Seal-as millions OF
Americans know II TO day, Is an agent
Of happiness and health. II was orig
mated In 1907 by Miss Emily z. Bissell,
Of Wilmington. Delaware, who learned
through Jacob Riis Of somewhat SINH
lar seals that were sold In Norway for
the purpose of raising funds with
which to fight tuberculosis.
Miss Blssell persuaded the Amerl-
can Red Cross to take up the Idea with
the result that seals were sold In q
limited number Of communities In
1908. The sale yielded a revenue OF
approximately 5000. The Red Cross
then decided to Issue the seals each
year and to turn the proceeds over to
the National tuberculosis association
and It's affiliated societies for the pur
pose OF financing the campaign against
tuberculosis. The number of seals
sold In America increased by leaps
and bounds until In 1917 the total
reached 1S0,O00000.
This year the seals are again on
sale beginning December 1. More
than half a billion seals have been
printed for distribution to state and
local agents. In addition to the
seals Health Bonds" in denomlna-
tons ranging from $50 to 500. 90
are to be sold in lieu Of seals to
large contributors, who do not send
out a sufficient quantity Of mail in
December to make use Of all the seals
they would like to purchase. The
combined quotas Of all the state or
ganizations call for more than S0,50c,-
600 TO carry out the intensive educa-
tlonal campaign being conducted by
the National tuberculosis Association
and its 1000 affiliated societies.
The intensive sale of these seals
represents practical demonstration
OF every lesson that has been learned
regarding scientific distribution. Ex-
perts Of the highest standing In sales
management have co-operated to the
extent OF assuring those interested
that every resident OF the United
States will have an opportunity to buy
Red Cross Christmas Seals.
