One month after the Cavendish muir

John Cavendish requesting that he

and Dougherty. sat in his private Office
on the top floor OF the COllander baild-
ing I'm Cortlandt stree. waiting for the
youths appearance. Since young
Cavendlsh had consulted him before
I'm minor matters. Mr. Enrlght had ex-
pected that ne would call voluntarily
soon after the murder. but In this he
was disappointed. Realizing that
Broadway was very dear 10 the young
man, Enright had made allowances,
until. weary OF waiting, he decided 70
get into the game himself and 10 this
end had dispatched the note. TO which
Cavendlsh had replied both By tele-
phone and note.
"He ought to be here now" muir
INJURED Mr.. Enright sweetly, looking at
his watch. and soon the expected visi-
tor was uShered in. Arising TO his
feet the attorney extended a moist
pudgy hand.
"Qulte prompt. John" he greeted.

for a moment"
As the youth complied Enright open

room. and gave orders not TO be dis
turbed for the next half-hOur. Then,
drawing In his head. he closed the
door and turned the key.

"Oh! that's IT," the attorney
chuckled. "YOu didn't know about II,

There can't be such a viii. None

Possibly not" said Enright with
quiet. sinister gravity. "It was probably

John leaped 10 his feet. his face

Who Tipped Up That
Board? Centeruille
Wins Shamrock Game

Victims of an unexpected rally in
the last 10 minutes of play. the Rich
mond Shamrock Independent basket
ball team closed its season with the
short end of a 1882 score, at the
hands Of Centerville, Thursday night.
The game was hard fought with
Centerville on the short end most
CT it's length. The Shamrocks piled up
a lead in the first 10 minutes that
discouraged Centerville fans, but the
home team staged a comeback and
the half ended 1916, the Shamrocks
leading.
The visitors repeated their first half
performance in the final session, lead
ing Centerville 25-17. Centerville call
ed time and at it's conclusion started
whirlwind attack that pulled them
up and by. Shamrock subs were run
in in a vain endeavor to save the
game, but Centerville continued to
increase its lead.
Runnells was the bright offensive
light for the Shamrocks, tossing eight
field goals and two fouls. Fades came
in for second honors with five field
markers. Mathews starred for the
winners, caging seven field and seven
foul goals. Schadle came through
with five field markers.

BRINGING
UP
FATHER
BY
McMANuS
LAST OF FEDERALS
QUITS BASEBALL

Rupert Mills, Justly celebrated q
few years ago as the last survivor Of
the old Federal league, has announced
that he is through with baseball for
all time and his name has been
dropped from the suspended list Of
the Detroit club. Notice to this effect
was issued recently, President Navin
announcing the unconditional release
of the player. Mills intends to devote
his time to law.
A condition that undoubtedly stands
out unparalleled in the history Of the
game featured Mills connection with
the Federal league. He developed as
one of the college stars Of the middle
west during the days when the Feds
were making their bid, and he was
signed to play In the Independent
league in 1916. Before the time for
the opening of the season peace was
agreed upon and the Federal league,
as an organization, retired from the
scene
A number OF players were turned
over to Harry F. Sinclair. owner of
the Newark Feds. for sale wherever
he might find a market, and Rupert
Mills was one of these Mills declined
to be party to any such transaction
and insisted that the Federal league
must attend to the salary which had
been promised him. Pat Powers, who
handled most Of the Sinclair baseball
affairs, tried to reach a compromise
but failed. Mills insisted Oh being
paid according to contract, refusing TO
accept the sum offered by Powers to
call everything of.
Then ensued the odd feature that
mn f1n loo 81 III
ers and Sinclair decided that Mills
would be paid in full, as per contract.
but insisted that he fulfill his part IF
the contract. They thereupon sent
him orders to report each day at the
Federal league park In Harrison. The
park had been deserted, but was kept
open for Mills benefit, and day after
day he made the trip to the park and
went through practice stunts all alone
Mills followed orders strictly, drew
hic checks on the LIST and 18th of each
month as if playing regularly, and
after few weeks the player and Sim
clair reached some agreement, never
officially announced. Mills discontin-
ued his daily trips to Harrison and
the Federal league had no players left
Later the Detroit club signed Mills
and sent him back to Denver for de-
service and after being discharged he
returned to law work. where he plans
to spend the rest Of his days.
Efforts are being made to bring
Willie Meehan on from the Pacific
coast for a bout with Gene Tunney

ed $4,000 for the bout and is ready
TO accept as soon as he receives trans.
portation. Matching Tunney with the
conqueror of Jack Dempsey seems to
be a rather hasty proceeding, but Nee
han undoubtedly has gone back Of
late and it is highly probable that the
youngster will be able to take his
measure. Chuck Virgins, a light
heavyweight, who recently returned
from Australia, where he made a great
impression. is another who is coming
on from California to seek a match |

FOOTBALL RULES ARE
UP FOR TRIMMING
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE foot.
ball rules committee meets here to-
night to consider numerous sugges-
tons offered to improve the sport. 1t
will be the first formal meeting of
the committee since 1917.
A plan to make more difficult the
one point for a goal from touchdown
by shortening the span between the
goal posts to Ia feet has been offered :;
while another suggestion would COM
pei the kick to be made from a scrim-
mage formation on the 20-yard mark
by placement or drop kick.
Division of the periods into 40 plays
or $50 for the game also has been pro-
posed. Another plan would award
points to the team carrying the ball
inside the 25-yard line and allowing
a point for five sequential first downs.
1t is expected that a rule proposing
the numbering of players will be pro-
posed.
