MIR. Schiff and the Jewish Stand
Keepers.
In the ''Jewish Daily News" of Sep
TENDER Goth Mr.. Philip Gossin re
lates the following:
1T was in the latter part of DE
cember. 1915. while John Purroy
Mitchell was Mayor of New York.
due TO the persecution of the po-
lice about three thousand Jewish
standkeepers seemed to be in danger
Of losing their means of livelihood.
The Commissioner of Licenses had un-
earthed an old regulation which pro-
bibited the standkeepers from selling
candy. cigarettes and tobacco, and this
regulation was being taken advantage
of.
"A committee of the standl>eeperS
appealed to the Jewish Daily News"
for help.
AT that time it was no secret to
anyone that Mr.. Jacob II. Schiff, the
great Jewish philanthropist, WAS
Mitchell. The editor requested me TO
20 and see Mr.. Schiff, relate to him
the facts in the case and induce him
to intervene with the Mayor.

hibits the standkeeper from selling
the articles mentioned. an attempt is
being made TO deprive them of their
means of livelihood. You. Mr.. Schih.
are in position to help them.
Having listened carefully to my re
guest, he replied without stopping to
think over the matter.
"A law is "A law, and we citizens
must respect it whether We like it or

YANKEES AGAIN WIN
IN MAYS COURT CASE

NEW YORK, January 3l.-The
Yankees won another victory in the
prolonged legal proceedings result
ing from the Carl Mays controversy

of the supreme court declined to set
aside the preliminary injunction in

Gallaudet Beaten by Johns Hopkins
Quint After Running Up Big
Lead at Start.

Gallaudet ran up points to l jim
its game against the Johns Hopkins

gan to play such erratic basket ball
that it finally lost out by % to 25.
After Gallaudet ran up I points with
in the first few minutes it seemed
to begin to take the situation easier
than the appearance of the game JUS
titled. Hopkins played a purely de-
fensive contest during the first half.
but at the end of the opening twenty
minute period the score still was II
to 10 in the Kendall Greeners' favor.
Johns Hopkins opened the second
half with a slashing offensive and
soon was in front by % to 13. 1t was
then that Gallaudet decided to play
some more real basket ball, and it
began to pull UP on it's rival rather
easily. However, it's laXity between
its first spurt and second was too
much to overcome and it wound up
the game just points behind.

BEING A SERIES OF
SrORIES AROuT PL AVS ANT

The Philadelphia Athletics We're
Playing a series at Chicago last sea-
son with the White Soy. At the same
time the Ringing Bros. circus was
doing big business in that city.
Each day it was undoubtedly a ques-
ton with a lot of people whether
they would take in the circus or the
ball game.
One of the games of the series was
nightmare as far as real base ball
was concerned. Chicago on three or
four occasions tried to hand the game
TO the Athletics but the Mackmen
refused to take it. They refused to
be outdone in the matter of courtesy
The contest finally ended in a victory
for Chicago by "a score of II to 6.
About everything that could pos
sibly happen in a ball game came up
IN that session between the league
leaders and the tail-enders.

BAN FAVORS HERMANN
Johnson Still Opposes Change in
Commission-Garry May Re-
consider Resignation.

CINCINNATI, January 31.-Ban
Johnson, after a lengthy conference
with August Hermann. chairman of
the national commission, announces
that he is still upholding the cause of
Chairman Hermann and Is bitterly
opposed to the action of the five Ma
tional League magnates who are at
tempting to discover a successor to
the Red chief as head of the COM
mission.
In speaking of the possibility of his
being asked to reconsider his res
ignation from the Craftsmanship of
the commission at the joint conference
in Chicago next week, Mr.. Hermann
said:
Il have no intention of reconsider
ing my resignation, which was offered
after much thought and in response
to many nagging annoyanceS to which
l have been subjected in the past
few months. Some of the National
League magnates had declared that !.
would be easy for them to agree on
successor if only Mr.. Hermann
would resign, and so 1 accommodated
them.
Il have no idea what they are going
to do. but my decision on this point
is final. | shall not resign as presi-
dent of the Cincinnati club in order
to continue as chairman of the COM
mission. 1t is now up to- them to
agree upon a man to take my place
or to operate without chairman for
4 while"
Despite this point blank declaration
on this matter, there is growing
feeling that the powerful sentiment
for him in the American League and
among the minors will result in his
being practically forced to continue in
office.

Burns finally recovered the ball. and
in the meantime the batter who had
hit the fly was Logging 1t to third.
Burns cut the ball loose to Thomas.
who covered third. 1t took per-
feet throw to get the runner. and
Burns heave was a trifle high. The
ball got by Thomas and rolled into foul
territory near the left field foul line.
He followed with a wild heave to the
plate that bounded into the grand
stand Thus the batter who hit the
fly ball actually scored while the pill
was being kicked around the dia-
mond.
Evidently a fan sitting in the first
base section of the grandstand was
bit in doubt about o'clock as TO
whether he WOULD enjoy the ball
game more than a circus Evidently
he made up his mind that the ball
game had the greatest appeal. That
he had a sense of humor. however
was proven by his remark as the
Athletics finished the four-base boot,
$50 this is base ball?' he yelled IN
a rather disguised manner. "Ie ct I'll
