Because Governor Ammons Refuses to Accept Responsibility. ‘Washinigtén, * Dec. 11—Because - of| the refusal of,Governor Ammons of Colorado to alcept responsibility by requesting that ail the federal troops in the strike districts be withdrawn, President Wilson tonight decided to await further developments before or- dering the troops away. The ‘troops were sent to the strike district at Gov- ernor Ammons’ request. At an hour’s conference tonight with Seth Low, Patrick Gilday and C. W. Mijlle, his' new Colorado strike com- fmission, the president outlined the, history of his efforts to restore in- dustrial peace in Colorado. It was the first time the members of the commis- elon had been together sinco thelr ap.- pointment. The commission will formally = or- sasiize tomorrow morning and it was said authoritatively tonight that Mr. Low would be chosen chalrman, The president named the commis- slon prior to the settlement of the strike, in order that it might be ready o act in case of any future disagree. ments, Are Your Kidneys Well?

J. J. McCaffrey of Toronto and aid him in disposing of the Jersey City club’s aftairs, while Joseph J. Lannin of Providence and Charles H, Ebbets, Jr., of Newark will assist in clearing Baltimore-Richmond - geal. These committees are to report back o a speclal meeting of the league waich will be called during the second week of nest January. That the ' league will continue its elght club :circait is evidenced by the fact that a playing schedule of 140 games was announced for next season. During the last ten vears this league has been playing 154 games and this, in the opinion of the majority of the club owners, made the season too long. The opening ‘date for 1916 has been set for April 27. A radical change was made when the player-limit for each club was re- duced’ today to 16, but mothing was done in reference to-the salary limit, as it was considered that the reduc- tion in the number of players would regulate this. The double umpire sys- tem will be continued; as it has proved to _be entirely satisfactory to afl con- cerned. The election of a new executivg com- mittee was put off until _the - next meeting, but Joseph J. Lannin of Providence was added to the present committee, which,-in addition to Pres- ident Barrow, consists of McCaffrey, Chapin and Ebbets. None of the club managers had sign- ed.contracts for next year when the session ended tonight, but it was un- derstood there would be mno change except in two clubs, and these are the ones involved in the proposed transfer of franchises. 5 Late tonight Manager . McGraw. of the New York National league club and Manager Moran of the Philadel- phia Nationals had a conference with reference to a deal in which Catcher Charlie Dooin and Third Baseman Hans Lobert figured. No agreement was reached, but that something defi- nite regarding the deal may develop within a few days was inferred from remarks by both managers after they had talked the matter over for some time.

In addition to managing FINANGIAL AND COMMERCIAL MARKET SHOWED FIRMNESS. Some Stocks and Bonds Went Up One to Three Points. New York, Dec. 11.—Stocks and bonds showed greater firmness today 'because of the proximity of ‘the re- ‘opening of the local exchange for open dealings in stocks. Some shares were up one to three points and several of 'the more.active bond and note issues manifested corresponding strength, the New York city three vear 6's being quoted at their top figures. The evident success of two new bond jissues aggregating $13,000,000 af- forded the first real test of that mar- | ket for new issues since the middle of the year. While more than or- inarily ~ attractive in their interest eld, the wide inquiry indicated the keenness ofithe investment inquiry, together with the ease of money. Clearances of stocks through the ex- change loday were estimated at 60,000 shares, W was easily the larsest overturn for any one day during the period of closure. The list of mini- mum prices issued by the -exchange today for open trading was interest- ing in that it showed that allowance is to be made for dividends declared on listed stocks during the past four months. For instance, Reading, which closed at 140 in July, and sold up to 142 7-8 today, was quoted at 136, the parity of the July price. plus two dividends of two per cent. This same ruling applied to other dividend issues. The number of $15 or lower priced stocks which are to e offered with- out restriction tomorrow and thereaf- ter, includes some three score railway and industrial issues. Preparations to ‘meet the new order of business were campleted today. A further break was reported in the market for reischmarks, making Cleve. Short Line 4 Del. Det.” United Dist._See.

The lettor which the Wards sent to President ‘Hempstead, on _the Mar- quard_subject, as it ‘appeared in the New York Times follows: Dear Sir: It has been brought. to our attention through the public press that the National Exhibition Company and the New York National League Baseball Clup clalm to have a play- er's contract with R. W. Marquard calling for his services for the years 1915 and 1918, If these claims can be sustained to our satisfaction, .the Federal League Basebali Club of Brooklyn is willing to consider with Mr. Marquard a cancel- ation of the contract he made with The facts in. connection with our transaction are as follows: On Wed- nesday, Dec. 2, the writer was called to the telephone and, on answering, was informed that Mr. Marquard de- sired an interview. Hpe was told that I -had an-appointment downtown at 1 o'clock, to- which he. replied that he would be at my office about 11. He was announced in due time, and stated that he was under contract with your club for the year 1914, that the contract had expired, and that he was free to make a new Contract. He was asked for a copy of his contract with you and replied that he did not have ‘one in his possesion. After discussing the matter for some time we advised him to go home and think it over for a couple of days. This he did, and returned again on Friday, Dec. 4. We then talked the matter over further, drew up a contract in triplicate, and handed him a copy for reading. He did so very carefully, and .was then asked if he understood it thoroughly. He replied that he did whereupon we called in a Notary Public and he signed his name, in three -different places, including the affidavit, which, by the way, is inelud: ed in the majority of Federal League contracts, for the reason that we want to know the status of a player be- fore signing him to a contract. This action on our part is in direct controsion with your action .in the Ritter case. We are prepared to show you the contract entered into by Wil- liam Ritter with the Federal League Baseball Club of Brooklyn, which con- tract antedates your contract by sev- eral days, you knowing full well that he hadcontracted with us. It is an open question whether, by securing his fither's approval to his contract, the New York National Lea- gue Baseball Club or Ritter’s father did not condone a drons, and the fact that he did does not maice it right. That Ritter had been farmed out by your club does not enter into the case. The New York Baseball Club had no contract with Ritter at the time of his signing with the [Federal League Baseball Club of Brooklyn.

MAGNATES FOXY IN PROLONGING SERIES. Have Hopes of Coining More Money— Last Year’s Receipts Were a Disap- pointment. The baseball moguls back of the plan to extend the world eeries from seven to eleven games are trying to kid the dear, old public into believing that the plan was hit upon “so as to give the baseball:loving public a better chance to see the games.” The real facts in the matter are that the magnates want the series extend- ed to eleven games so they will make more money out of the series. The 1914 series was a huge disappointment to those involved. The series ran four mes only, and the players got the arge bulk of the receipts. The mag- nates don't want such a thing to hap- Den again. The magnates say that if the series is increased to eleven games the prices will be reduced. The 33 seats of the past will sell at 32. At first sight that looks like a nice thing for the public, but & second squint changes the im- pression. Seven games at $3 per game used to cost the full series fan only $21. Eleven games at $2 per game Wwould cost $22. So for every fan that attended the full set of games it would mean $1 extra that goes into the cof- fers of the magnates. Under the proposed scheme it would take six victories to win the title. It ning six out of the nine would be more Iike it, with the chances favoring six out of ten. The use of pencil and paper - game series is not prac- ical it organized baseball folks con. tinue their 154 game schedule, which does not close regular season until G!évé\s from Coat Sweaters $2.50, $3.50 and $5.00 ‘Night Shirts Pajamas and 50c to $5.00 “Just what he'd buy himself” “The Live Shop” two weeks, which would shift the se- ries along to the 26th or 2ith. It is more than likely that ome or two of those games would. result in ties and would have to be played over, as the October days are short, and - even fhough the games start at 2 p. m., it is rarely that teams can play more than eleven innings. PENN’S ALUMNI NOT AGAINST BROOKE. Not One Graduate Supported - the Players’ Actions Against Brooke at Annual Smoker. \ George Brooke will remain as head ‘coach E)‘f the University. of Pennsyl- vania football team until his contract expires with the Quaker institution next - fall, if the popular opinion of Red and Blue graduates will keep him there. Two hundred and fifty _Pennsylvania alumni_gathered at the Hotel Martin- ique, New York Wednesday night for the annual smoker of the University of Pennsylvania club of New York, and not one of those present support- ed the action taken by the Penn foot- ball players in voting to oust. Brooke as head coach. Brooke was invited to attend “as one of .the principal speakers, but a previous. engagement kept him away Vivian Nickalls, coach of the Penn crew, and George Ortonm, trainer of the Red and Blue athletes, were among the speakers. “It was doings, one might say, of uncontrollable freshmen.” ~were the terms used-by Mingle. “George Brooke was one of the greatest football play- ers who ever represented the Univers- ity of Pennsylvania, and that he was not one of her.best coaches was not his fault. We consider the showing made’ by the Penn team this year all that could be expected under the cir- cumstances. Mr. Brooke had under his.charge mostly green players—men whe more than likely will next year prove stars of the first calbre. : But because they were unseasoned this fall Penn had an off season. This cannot be laid at the door of their -coach, for he did the best that was possible, Even now most of our alumni do not believe that the Penn players have expressed disapproval of Mr. Brooke's methods. Personally, 1 believe, the matter was much exaggerated, but nevertheless, it is a certainty, in our opinion, that George Brooke will be directing the affairs of the Penn var- sity eleven again next year. Al Joernay, captain of this yvear's Pennsylvania football - team, attended the smoked and agreed: to be quoted to the ‘extent that he thought Mr. Brooke’s team showed everything that could be expected of it. He refused to say whether he favored or was against the retention of Brooke as head trainer for another year. He did say, however, that any move made by the Pennsyl Vania players against Brooke was un- official and was not sanctioned by the captain. ‘Philadelphia. newspapers made a mountain out of a molehill in this instance,” Jouernay said. “In the first place the vote was taken by the players against Brooke upon which such stress was laid by Philadelphians, wasn't inteded for public knowledge It was merely an informal contest, and showed 19 against Brooke, 3 favoring him and 4 not*voting. his matter appeals to me as be- ing unfeir to Brooke and it should not be regarded seriosly AGREEMENTS FOR JOHNSON-WILLARD FIGHT Championship Contest Will Be Held in Latter Part of March. Here is the agreement between Jack Curley, the Chicago promoter, and Jack Johnson, the black cham- pion, for a fight for the champion- ship of the world. Curley went to London in.

The fight will be held in the latter part of h and will run from 20 to 45 rounds, according to the decision of Curley. He has not yet chosen a place for the contest. It may go to Mexico or Cuba. . Had not the women of Cal- ifornia_voted in favor of.the consti- tutional amendment to abolish boxing there, the golden state might have got the match.
