PAR EXCHANGE BETWEEN U. s. AND THE PHILIPPINES

MANILA, P. l., March 25.-(By As- change on the United States at the legal rates fixed by the currency law -1ls per cent for telegraphic trans fers and one per cent for demand drafts-was resumed by the insular treasury shortly after the first of the present year. Through this means, it is said. the circulation of the peso in the Philippines may be augmented.
 An American company buying ex- ports from the Philippines may make gold deposit in the United States and its local representative may draw the equivalent in pesos from the insular treasury.
 Resumption of the sale of exchange by the, treasury marks the close of the period in the currency history of the government which began with the transfer of the gold reserve fund through Philippine National bank transactions from the United States to the government deposit account at the bank in Manila, much of 1t then going into loans, not yet liquidated on industrial properties such as oil mills and sugar centrals.
 The bonds sold in accordance with the currency legislation approved last year have restored the reserve and long period of par exchange between the Philippines and the United States is predicted by bankers

 FAD TAKING HOLD
 OF PREP OUTFITS

MONTGOMERY, Ala. March 25.- Special )-Will prep athletics take on the intersectfonal fad as college sports have during the last three years?
 That is the question that prep followers all over the nation are ask ing and what is the answer? True, it is admitted that only five years ago colleges never dreamed of cross ing the continent for a one e-hour pe- riod of football.
 Today, no colleges football sched- ule is complete unless they have an intersectional contest. Will the leading prep schools follow their old CT brothers lead?
 A prominent Montgomery sport authority believes they will. He says:
 Always the high school boy has admired and to a great extent fol- Very natural. isn't it? The feature of the college schedule is an inter- sectional game. It's very natural then for prep schools to fall in line.
 Tt is not coming, but has come Duval High school of Jacksonville Fla. and Scott High of Toledo. O., have already crossed the nation for games, while southern prep schools last year entered the prep tourney at Chicago. Hume-Fogg of Nashville took fourth place.
 This year Alabama is to be rep resented. Simpson school of Birming- ham is to bear the honor of being the first Alabama high school to ever engage in an intersectional contest.
 "The Junior Panthers of Simpson showed the class all this year in prep bask etball, finally winning the cham pionship from Lanier of Montgomery in Montgomery.

Prior to the playing season of 1922, MT. Comisky testified that Jackson had been signed up for three years at sS,000 a year. s3.000 increase, and that Oscar Felsch and Charles Ris- berg also had been given contracts at increased salaries. At that time, however, Comisky said, he had noth- ing to definitely connect any of his players with the scandal rumors. The salary increases were demanded of him, Comiskey said.
 After Cicotte went to Manager Gleason and told his story of an at he suspended the accused players.
 The accused base ball players were acquitted of charges of conspiracy when tried on indictments obtained by the states attorney.
 Jackson, Felse and Risberg all have filed suit for $100.000 each for back salary and damage to their reputa- tion against Comiskey and the Amer ican league baseball club.
