C., March 15.—With inceddsion marking the attitude of Greece toward the Anglo-French and Turkish struggle on the outermost fringe of the Balkans, and while her political leaders are working for and against the continuance of neutrality, a general sketch of this modern king- dom_prepared for the National Geo- graphic Society by George Higgins Moses, United States Minister to Greece and Montenegro in 1909-191 forms a timely and instructive com:- mentary upon present events there. In the last two generations the interests of Greece have expanded so rapidly ®s to awakén in the minds of many of its patriots ambitions of Eastern Em- Dire, a re-inspiriting of Byzantlum’s dust. Modern dwellers in Greece feel themselves to be the direct descend- ants of Byzantine Greeks and of the heroes of glorious classis Greece, Mr. Moses writes; and, he continues, their life has shown a persist continu- ity which warrants their claim; for, whether their land has been ruled by a Roman emperor, a Frankish duke, a Venetian baille, or a Turkish pasha, the thread of Hellenic existence has remained unbroken. Their relig- jon. their tongue and their traditions have survived all change of masters and all forms of dominion, and, so, Greek character is much the same to- day as it was two thousand years ago. In many respects Greek life today, also, is the same as it was at the birth of Christ, says this writer, who has seen Greek peasants ploughing with bent sticks, just as Adam may have accomplished his ploughing af- ter being banned from Paradise. Ath- ens, the splendid of old, and today be- coming the ‘Paris of the Levant", however, according to Mr. Moses, is distinctly a modern city. It has wide and gay streets, dotted with small parks, and adorned with many hand- some public buildings, most of them gifte of rich Greeks who have spent in the mother country money earned abroad, Greeks swarm the seas for a lv- ing as of old, he fays, and, as of old, their passionate sociability draws them from the country to the towns and cities. One tenth of the popula- tion of Greece is to be found in Athens and Piraeus. The drain of emigra- tion from the rural districts to native cities and to cities in other lands is enormous, and, in the words of a cab- inet minister, it constitutes “a grave national hemorrhage”. In some vil- lages the Poloponnesus, Mr. Moses ex- plains, there remain scarcely enough men {o fill the offices. Nevertheless, he continues, emigration has been a benefit to the country, for large sums of money are sent back each year, especially from America, to families who remain behind, and to this steady American stream of gold may be traced the appreciation of Greek paper currency. Many of FEurope's back- ward nations, like Greece, gathered much of thelr early stimulus from the money which poured out of the rich United States back home. “My chief criticism of the modern Greek life,” Mr. Moses says, “would be that the young men of good fami- ly and of fortune have not turned themselves to the economic develop- ment of their country. Manufactur- ing and agriculture have been almost wholly neglected, and all that one wears and much of what one eats is brought from abroad. The owners of estates have considered them chiefly useful as a foothold for a seat in Parliament—that one-chambered and often turbulent body where have cen- tered the chief defects in Greek de- Velopment.” Politics have been a curse of mod- ern Greece as well as they were & curse to anclent Greece, Mr. Moses concludes. “To speak the truth”, he says, ‘politics in Greece has meant a sordld thing. There are no questions of principle which divide parties there, bul parties have arisen from time to time in accordance with ambitions or political necessities of individual lead- ers—and the strugle has been wholly between the ‘4ns and the outs™.

Decision Will Be Rendered Wednesday In Fight Between Federal League and Kansas City Club Over the Transfer of Franchise—It is Claimed That the Franchise Was Not Legally Forfeited at New York Meet- ing. . Chicago, March 15—After listening to final arguments today by attorneys for Dboth sides in the fight between the Federal league and the Kansas City club over the transfer of the latter’s franchise to Newark, N. J., Judge Jesse A. Baldwin in the circuit court an- nounced that he would take the case under advisement until Wednesday morning, when he would render a de- cislon. “Our contention 15 that the franchise of the Kansas City club was not legal- Iy forfeited at the meeting of the board of managers in New York city Oct. 28, 1914 sald John M. Zane, the at- torney representing the Kansas City club, In his arsument asking that the temporary injunction lssued Feb. 25 restraining the Federal league from transferring the Kansas City club franchise be made permanent. 7 “This meeting was lllegal because it was not held in January, as the arti- cles of the league provide” continued Mr. Zane. “Secondly, it was illegal because Mr. Madison, president of the Kansas City club, was not allowed to take any part in the meeting of the board of managers, although he was recorded as present. “The franchise agreement which al- lowed the league to dispose of the franchise of any club upon default of payment was never accepted by the Kansas City club. The agreement also states that the franchise of the club may be forfeited by a majority vote of the board of managers. The other side has never produced any evidence to show that this action was taken. “In the Federal league’s suit against organized baseball now pending before Federal Judge Landis, the Kansas City club was asked by the league to sign a petition of intervention as one of the constituent members of the league. This petition was signed and presented among others to Judge Landis. This is practically an_admission on the part of the league that the Kansas City club is one of its members." ELLER CHALKED UP A WORLD'S RECORD. Irish-American A. C. Athlete Made a New Record in 50 Yard Lew Hur- dles. 3. J. Eller of the Irish-American A. C, New York, made what is sald to be a new world's record in the 50 yard low hurdle race Saturday night at the snnual meet of the Meadowbrook club in Philadelphia. He took the hurdles in 6 1-5 seconds, breaking the record of 6 4-5 seconds made by Walter Stef- fins in Chicago in 1914. Millard of Cornell was second and Burch, N. Y. A. C., was third. DEVELOPING TALENT IN SOUTHERN FIELDS. Federals Have Harvested Many Prizes from Minor Leagues and College Ranks. Training camp reports from south- ern flelds where Federal leaguers are speeding up for the opening cham- pionship games on April 10 contain Teference to players whose names in- dicate that the scouts and managers in the independent circuit have har- vested many prizes from the minor leagues and college ranks. Thomas Gilmore, new secretary of the Federal league, has rounded up statistical matter on the heretofore unknowns and in the eastern office of the Federal league it has been explained why sev- eral ambitious goungsters believe they have playing power entitling them to rank with the established stars of the Feds. The pennant winning Indianapolis club has half a dozen youngsters in Valdosta, Ga. who have been setting a fast pace for Bennie Kauff, Fred Falkenberg and others whose ~deeds assure them permanent berths. John Lawrence Strands, a Chicago youth, who was with the Worcesters in the New England league last season, is one of the Indianapolis recruits as an in- fielding prospect. He has played third buse and the outfield in four seasons as a professional. Gilbert A. Whitehouse, once with the Boston Nationals as a catcher. came to the Indianapolis Feds as an outflelder. He is only 21 vears old and was sec ond in the New England league las season as a batsman, amassing an av erage of .344. Another player of the same surname is with_the Federal league champions as o pitcher. He is Charles Evis Whitehouse of Matton, IIL, who is just 20 vears old and six feet tall. White- house is a left hander whose most no- table feat is that of winning three games in four days while in the Ili- nois league. Emil Huhn, who was with the Seat- tle (Wash.) club last season as a first baseman and catcher. is one of the In- dianapolis finds of the present train- ing period. Fred Trautman of Bycy- rus, O., a right handed pitcher, is an- other of Phillips’ discoveries. ~Traut- man was with Appleton in the Wiscon- sin-Tllinois league last year. Another youthful recruit with the league cham- pions is Joseph E. Potter, who voted for the first time last vear. He was with the Galion (Ohio) team last sea- son_and has had only one season of professional experience. Joe Tinker's Chicago Whales, run- nersup in the pennant race last sea- son, have added some sprightly lads, several of them as a result of Tin- kér's occasional jaunts into the minor and college fields last season. One of the recruits, Jimmy Smith, has shown so well at shortstop in practice at Shreveport, La., that Tinker has con- sidered shifting to second base in order to permit the 19 vear old infielder to play regularly in his accustomed posi- tion. Bill McGawan, another former Duquesne university player, was rounded up by Tinker. He has also played semi-professionally with the Houtzdale (Pa.) team at second base. Baumgartner, a right handed hitting and throwing outfielder, has had only semi-pro. experience in Cincinnati and is 23 years old. Guy Beard, a semi- pro. pitcher from Princeton, Iil, is now a Whale and showed finely. Baltimore, finally equipped last sea- son with every known quality except- ing a talisman to ward off injuries to players, has balanced its array with a seasoned pitcher in Chief Bender and obtaified Frank Owens, a dependable backstop, to aid in the pennant hunt. Of the unknowns now at Fayetville, N. C., John C. McCandless of Oakmount, Pa., is attracting the attention of Otto Knabe and all the Terrapin stars. An- other youth who has shown well in FINANGIAL AND COMMERGIAL MARKET APATHETIC. Dealings Were Light and the Price Movement Unusually Narrow. New York, March 15—Bxtreme apathy characterized today's market the price movement unusually narrow. session, dealings being very light and In the main, however, important shares reflected firmness, holding frac- tionally over last week's close. Spec- ialties” Were again subjected to pooll manipulation, but the utter failure to enlist public interest in these issues was followed by a moderate reatction. The several markets for _foreign exchange were comparatively dull. Re- mittances on Lendon were inclined to harden until a larse amount of com- mercial bills came into the market. Private sales of the new German war notes imparted a firmer tendency to marks. Conservatice estimates of the amount of these taken by American investor range from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000. Another gold engagement of $2,500,- 000 from Canada was reported and more of the metal is expected from the same source in the course of the week. Rumors of acditional loans to forelgn interests, including Brazil, were cur- Tent. From present indications it is altogether improbable that our bank- ers will engage in South American fi- nancing for some time to come. Record merchandise exports for the past week, the largest in the his- tory of this port, surfaco betterment in the general European situation and 2 lull in Mexican aairs were helpful to the extent of checking bearish op- erations. Publication of the British order designed to restrict German commerce occasioned some comment, because of its possible effect on this country’s foreign trade. There were further infalible indi- cations of a pause in western busi- ness, such as a decline on tonnage movements and a falling off in_pur- chases of gereral merchandise. Banks in the west are unusually strons in their reserve holdings and no change from present easy rates is expected before the end of the first quarter of the year. London’s markets were active and firm, the reported success of the! British troops in France contributing largely toward _the improvement. Americans also manifesteq a firmer tendency abroad. Total sales of stocks amounted to| 129,500shares. Bonds were frregular on more fu- ture selling, chiefly of General Pacific! 1st nd Northern Pacific and South- ern Pacific issues. Total sales par value, ageregated $1,750,000. TU. 5. bonds were unchanged on call. 200 Betr. Steel 3600 Beth. Steat 100 Bon, Sied of 100C.

Three Cornered Tie and Protest by Quakers Present a Pretty Muddle. All kinds of difficulties have pre- sented themselves to the Intercollesi- ate Swimming association as a result of the victory of Pennsylvania over Princeton In their dual meet recently. The victory puts the Quakers in a triple tie for first place with Columbia. and Yale, but if the protest which Pennsylvania hds made to the league against the disqualification of Shyrock in the meet with Columbia is aliowed Pennsylvania will get the champion- ship with title clear, while Yale will be second and Columbia third. Yale, however, has taken the stand, backed by Columbia and the College of the City of New York, that there is to be mo review of the referee’s de- cision of the Pennnsylvania-Columbia embroglio, and, it is asserted, has even gone so far as to threaten to wi draw from the association if the pro- test is upheld. The Quakers, on the other hand, are just as ready to secede if it is not up- held. As a counter proposition, how- ever, Pennsylvania is willing to let the Skyrock disqualification stand, provid- ed” Vollmer, the Columbia swimmer, with whom Shyrock collided, also is disqualified. “This would make Lee of Columbia the winner, and Pennsylvania would take second place. There would be no third and the point score of the meet would be 26 to 26. This would give Pennsylvania the title with three vic- tories, no defeats and one tie, and Yale would be second and Columbia third, This plan, however, is not agreeable to Yale, and the Blue will stand by its constitutional rights to a play-off for the championship. Again there are difficulties, however. By the league rules the date for the -off must be set on the day of the vidual championship. This was last Friday. Furthermore, the constitution provides that the play-off must be held on or before the last day of March. The league will not meet until March 28, and there will be only three days in which to hold the play-offs. In order to settle the championship, it will be necessary to have a round robin tournament among the three con- tenders, because no tank is available wherein all teams could swim at one and the same time without the neces- sity of holding heats. After all the red tape incidental to straightening out this tangle is un- raveled, it will be necessary for the various colleges to get the consent of their various faculty committees to the extra meets. Both Yale and Pennsylvania, it is understood, have already received in- formal faculty assurances that they can take part {n such meets if they are eld. COLLEGE BASEBALL TEAMS LOSE MANY STAR PLAYERS. Yale, Princston, Harvard and Penn All Suffer Loss of Best Pitchers. The_baseball teams of Yale, Prince- ton, Harvard and Pennsylvania are about evenly balanced this season, but Yale and Pennsylvania have lost their Dbest pitchers. Brown and Gile of the Eli squad graduated, while Pitcher Sayre and Catcher Schwert are lost to_the Red and Blue. Harvard’s infleld has been somewhat broken up, while Princeton has been affected by the loss in batting strength due to a loss of heavy hit- ters. In addition to losing two pitch- ers Yale has lost Swihart at first base, Cornish at second, Captain Blossom at shortstop and Falsey at left fleld. Pumpelly will likely fill Swihart's place, and Captain Middlebrook and Haines may be brought into the in- field to fill the places made vacant by Blossom and Cornish. Coach Quimby expects to get some excellent material from the Freshman class. Of last year's Harvard team Capt. Wingate, shortstop; Clark, second base; Milholand, center field; Hitch- cock, pitcher, and Osborn, have grad- vated. Wingate and Clark, who alter- nated at second base for two years, will be seriously missed. Clark was one of the strongest batters in col- legiato ranks last year, while both were excellent flelders. Hitchcock was very eratic, and was mot so valuable a pitcher as several who remain. Frye, Mahan and Whitney should prove the mainstays of the pitching staff, as all three performed well last year. Wilcox, who was the best of last year’s Frectman pitchers, has al- so shown considerable ability. Fitz- gibbons, 1915, who has had no expe- rience on the 'Varsity team, but who has shown up well in practice, will al- 50 be eligible. 'Waterman, who caught regularly on the ‘Varsity with Harte, will work behind the bat. Pennsylvania has lost Chester, Minds, Haley and Willilams, so even if the Red and Blue .was the head of the “Blg Four” last year, Coach Thomas has a task before him to re- peat the record of 1914, when he tutored a team that beat the Tigers! twice, humbled Yale in both fages and split even with Harvard. Won Second Game This Season. The Slippery Eels of Thamesville won their second game this season by defeating the Trimmers by the score of 12 to 0. Bowe, the star pitcher for the Slippery Eels, pitched a no-hit, no- Tun game. At the end of the game he had 24 strikeouts to his credit. Ran- kin, Who pitched for the Trimmers, also pitched a steady same, Slippery Eels walloped the around the field. The lineup for the Slippery Eels was as follows: Kearney ¢, Bowe p, Woody 1b, Ulrich 2b, Diffley 3b, Hust ss, H. Lessman rf, J. Ulrich cf, and T. Mulcahy If. The Slippery Bels would like a game with the Golden Eagles for Saturday. The Slippery Eels challenge any team in the vicinity of Norwich under the age of 14 and 15. Answer through The Bulletin.

Pat Powers Says Feds’ Kansas City Row Does Not Concern Him. Patrick T, Powers, who with Harry Sinclair, owns the Newark club of the Federal league, has asserted that no matter what the issue of the league’s legal dispute with the Kansas City men, Newark was assured of the team. “We bought the franchise and that’'s all there is to it,” said Pow- ers. “It is up to the league to settle any wrangle over the Kansas City club.
