basket ball season with two victories
In as many games played. will end it's
brief trip into the metropolitan dis
trict tonight with a game with Ste
yens Institute five at Hoboken. The
Old Liners followed their home win
over Virginia, with a 24-to-23 defeat
of Colum bia in an overtime engage
ment last night In New York.
In taking the measure of the strong
Intercollegiate League quint, the
Marylauders had to display much
gameness. They were beaten off. Is

liantly in the second part of the game.
With Capt. Ed Faber, former Eastern
High School basketer, leading the
way, they soon had the score at 17-all,

SUNDAY SPORTS LAW
BRIBE FUND ALLEGED

NEW YORK, December emil E.
Fuchs, part owner Of. the Boston
National League base ball team, has
confirmed a report that he had been
solicited for a slush fund with which
to bribe Massachusetts Legislators to
pass a bill permitting Sunday base
ball in that State.
Judge Fuchs said he had been ap-
preached by Il lobbyist recently. who
told him that thT Sunday playing bill
would be put through on payment of
100000 in bills, but that it would
meet with hard shedding unless GER
tain people were seen"
IT am somewhat reluctant to dis
cuss the matter" Judge Fuchs said.
II will say that l was much aston
ished when the proposition was made.
but the interview was very short
one, for 1 told the man who said 1t
would cost the sum mentioned that
the owners of the Braves would not
pay a red cont for legislation of any
character. cold him that If the bill
goes through it viii go through on its
saerits and on no other basis.
There is no doubt in my mind that
the legislators will pass the Sunday
bill, and that il will be approved on
referendum. If 1t cannot go through
on its merits, 1t will be the fault of
Itoliticfans. The $4,000 signatures for
the passage of the bill indicates q
wholesome and widespread sentiment
for Sunday base ball"
