NKW YORK, March 31—The Fed
eral League, after a two weeks ad
journment, to pet mntters in order
“ which were left unfinished at the Buf
falo meeting, is holding an important
meeting In Pittsburg to day. Bey
ond a doubt the season's schedule will
will be adopted, as the league has
something more definite to work upon
in Newark. The new form of con
tracts of the Feds is something of a
revalntion in baseball. Details of the
young and established players, which
will result In the establishment of
conditions which will make the Fed
eral League contracts court proof.
Philadelphia is all excitement over
the partly of the Mendowbrook Club,
which will be contested at Convention
hall tonight. A ten-lap track, banked
has been laid down for the meet,
which will have not less than 1,000
entries. Justice Weeks, of New i
Vork will be honoarry referee, and
Peter Carney, handlcapper of the Mid
dle Atlantic Association of the A. A.
M IT., will referee the events. Some
of the best athletes of the country
( will compete against each other at
this meet.
There is a feeling among the Wash
ington players that Griff's club is
likely to be a slrong factor in the
coming pennant race. The shot-to
pieces Athletics are not reckoned
with and the Nationals think that
the early dopesters should concede
the GrifTmen better than a fighting
chance to win the 1015 pennant.
Hey wood Brown says that the cow
boys contribute largely to the night
life of Marlin. Films of life on the
I plains are the most popular with the
■ men of the ranges. These dramas
b take the cowboys from reality and
make them forget the dull, drnbness
of their own existence as they watch
a life they have never seen.
Anyone that is at all familiar with
college athletics must wonder at the
training system of professional ball
players. The college men who are
striving for an "H” or a “Y”, or what
ever his letter may ne, overlooks no
detail of diet of hygiene in his effort
to gain the last fraction of physical
efficiency, while the ball player, to
whom physical efficiency means not
’ an “H” or a “Y", but a career and a
fortune, trains only on the broadest ■
kinds of lines. Of course, with a
few exceptions, the baseball player
keeps regular hours and drinks rare
ly, if ever. I
Well, the jinx has certainly been tho
constant companion of Ad. Wolgast. 1
Ad. seems to be the unluckiest of <
lightweights and declares that he is 1
through with the ring, for a time at I
least. It will be months before the i
plaster cast can be removed! from his
broken arm. Wolgast has been sue- '
cessively afflicted with a cauliflower I
ear, appendicitis and broken hands, t
Tom Downey, utility player of the i
Kansas City Blues, for the' last seven t
years, may manage the Topeka club
in the Western League this season if 1
George Tebeau will consent to let 1
him go. 3
Instead of idling his time away Lar- j
: ry Lajoie has been working hard all (
winter. He has been splitting wood i
and doing all the hard work about i
his place. Larry now weighs 195
pounds, and needs to take off only
! eight more pounds of flesh to get f
down to playing condition. Larry ■
: and Mrs. Lajoie will live with Harry
| Davis during the playing season in
Philadelphia, and will leave their
i home in Cleveland.
West Point has one of the strongest (
i basketball teams in the country. Prom
i the standpoint of the athletic pres- !
| tige of the military academy, it is
unfortunate that the cadet teams are
| not allowed to take a trip away from
home occasionally. The midshipmen
also have an exceptionally strong five
this season. Both WeBt Point and
Annapolis have defeated Cornell,
which has been helping to set the pace
in the Inter-collegiate League.

EMPEROR JOSEPH
IN GOOD HEALTH
By Associated Press Correspondence
VENICE. March 20—A Vienna cor
•espondent describes an audience with
he Emperor Francis Joseph. He
writes:
"I spent half an hour In the work
ng room of his majesty, and I lound
hat he is much more agile and lively
han at any time during th“ pasi few
rears. During the audience the Em
leror walked up and down the room
le was always noted for his exeel
ent memory, but what I saw with re
tard to this on the present occasion
vas really marvelous. His Majesty
[nows the name of every commander
if every regiment, and is well in
ormed as to the changes taking place
n the officering of the brigades and
legiments.
“He is informed every day as to the
vork being performed in the wrar ma
erlal factories. On a table in his
tudy lies an immense map, with
mall flags indicating the positions of
he fighting forces.
"Cordial relations exist between his
Jajesty and the Heir Apparent. The
Cmperor speaks very highly of the
oung prince and is extremely proud
nd fond of him. The Emperor’s
octors don’t allow him to drive out
such on account to his being subject
o colds.”

COL. RICHARDSON
WILL SOON RETURN
f'olonel w. P. Richardson Is ex-1
peeled to return to Valdez on one of j
'fie next boats, having spent the win-'
ter In Washington, where he was j
called by the War Department to ad- i
vise with the Secretary of War re
garding the work of the Alaska road
commission in Alaska. The appropri
ation for this year’s work has been
raised to $1(15,000 and considerable
work will be done on the Chitina
fiiirhnnks road and also upon the
roads leading from the other cities
of Alaska and connecting with the
mines and camps which can be found
near to all the towns in Alaska.
c°l. Richardson has been working
hard to impress upon members of
congress the advisabilty of building
more roads and trails In the north
and hopes to secure an appropriation
of seven million of dollars so that the
many worthy projects which the en
gineers of the commission have In
vestigated and would like to carry
outmay be started and carried to
completion. The members of the road
commission, after a careful Investiga
tion of the different mining camps In
Alaska have stated that with $7,000.
000 all the roads and trails justified
by the present development of the
mining property in the territory could1 -
be built.
.J
Col. Richardson has also urged up- 3
on the members of congress as far 3
as It was possible for him to do so, if
without brining himself Into trou- §j
ble, the great need for wagon roads ||
and trails as feeders for the govern- 3
ment railroad. 3
BABIES MUST HAVE
TRANSPORT IN GERMANY I
COPENHAGEN, April 6—The Ger
man authorities now also demand 5:
passports for babies. A Danish wo- 3
man in Holding (Jutland) wished to *
pay a visit to some relatives on the
other side of the frontier. She had
a passport for herself, but this was §■
not sufficient. The German soldiers j:j:
also demanded passports for her two
small children, who are twins, and £
only four months of age.
PARSONS ORGANIZE
HOME DEFENSE |j
(By Associated Press Correspondence) &:
GLASGOW, March 20- Twenty-five
militant parsons of the Church of Scot
land, the United Free church and the
Congregational Church have organ
ized a ministers’ corps for home de
fense. A clergyman, who is an old
volunteer, is engaged as drill instruc
tor. The members are thoroughly
in earnest and filled with enthusiasm.
In the Anglican church most of the
bishops have refused to sanction the
enlistment of parsons in the fighting
army. The Archbishop of Canter
bury, the primate of England, believes
the clergymen should remain non
combatants. Yet there are a num
ber serving at the front and in the
training camps.
