Edwin Goldman, a director ‘of the Baltimore club, said his club knew absolutely nothing about. negotiations. to put the league out of business un- til the peace ' agreement had been reached. _He emphasized his denial| that the Baltimore club was consulted in the pmflmon& The suit was brought ' under '.he Sherman and Cliyton anti-trust laws, the ‘Baltimore club .charging that the agreement between the Federal League and organized baseball was a violation of the anti-trust-laws:'and tended to ‘monopolize the business :tt_h baseball. The club-also charges that agree- ment_ disrupted the Mm'fm and that the club suffered damage to the exetnt of $300,000, for which, un- der the anti-trust la- it"is “asking triple damages. Mr. Goldman on direct examination said the Federal League signed no players who were under contract with clubs in other leagues. “On cross ex- amination - by P.: Prichard of Philadelphia counsel. for ‘the American League, he explained the Federal .|League did sign players who had re- serve clauses in their contracts with the major leagues because the Federals did not respect the clauses on the ground that .thy considered’ them' as illegal. * After the Baltimore club had learn- ed-of the peacé agreement, Mr: Gold- man said, Stuart S. Janey, a director of the club, and chief:counsel in the suit, went to New York to.try to_ne- gotiate for o major league’ ei’ub in Bal- timore “but” was successful. During Mr. Goldman’s examination the peace agreement was read to the jury. Its contents - are _generally- known, :but there ~was .one clause which has not heretofore “been made public. It recited that no agreement hed been reached with the Baltimore and Buffalo Federals and that a com- mittee of seven was agreed upon to arrange a settlement with those clubs. This committee was to consist of the three members of the National Com- mission, President Barrow of the In- ternational League, President 'Gilmiore of the Federal League; a represnta- tive of the Buffalo’club ard one rep- 'resent!ng the Baltimore club, both to be natned by Mr. Gilmore. The Bal- timore 'representative “was never Bp< pointed, Mr, Goldman said. He further testified that al the eight clubs in the Federal League fin- ishéd the last- season’ in which ~the | league existed but that there were but six clubs in the organization when it was disrupted in Devember, the other two having become financially embar- rassed. Georg- Wharton Pepper. of counsel Auu-Tm.tL.’ Aumdm League did not come within the federal anti- trust laws. He also indicated there was no at- tempt to monopolize baseball by the major leagues declaring that the peace | agreement with the Federal League was made necessary to end a costly war and to restore public confidefice in the management of the national sport. He further asserted the Balti- more club tried to get a major league ‘franchise for Baltimore before the peace agreement was signed but failed because no club in either of the big leagues desired to sell its franchise or have it transferred to Baitimore. . David L. Fultz, president of the Players’ Fraternity, was on the wit- ness stand, testifying to the opera- tions of players’ contracts, the reserve ‘clause and release clause, when court adjouwrned. There was every evidence tdday that the case would be fought Pitterly. LOSS OF STARS WOULD HURT CLUBS Many Are Backbones of Major Teams. Baseball fans know that an accident to Tris Speaker would serfously crip- ple the Clevelands, also that the De- troits probably would be tailenders if Ty Cobb could not play. But how many students of baseball have figured what would happen to the other big league teams if each should lose the services of its most valuable player? The Yankees would be in a serious predic- ament if Walter Pipp should be dis- abled. Take Babe Ruth away from ihe Red Sox and their pennant chances would be almost nolhing. The White Sox wouldn’t be fighting for the lead- ership if Eddie Collins was on the hos- pital list, says Joe Vila The Athletics would miss Stuff Me- Innis while the Browns would be lost without George Sisler. And where would the Washingtons finish if any- thing should happen to Walter John- son? The accidents to Lew McCCarty will not seriously cripple the Giants because McGraw has two other good catchers in Rariden and Gibson. But the Giants couldn't get along without the great pitching of Schupp. _ Alex- ander is_the backbone of the. Phillies just as Maranville is the mainstay of the Braves. The loss of Jake Daubert would handicap the Robins, while the Cubs would lose their prestige without the services of Big Jim Vaughn. Hal Chase is the Reds' best man . and Hornsby is the biz gun in the Cardi- na's' lineup The Pirates are last be- cause their star pitcher, Mamaux has been in poor shape. Manager Rowland of the White Sox atiributas the success of his team to - work of four pitchers, Ci- cotte Russell. Scott, and Renz are the boxmen who are doing practically all the work. Faber has been iaid up with a strained ligament but as soon as his arm bLecomes fit he will take a regular turn with the ' men named _above. for the big leagues, in his ‘opening statement as_to what. the. defense would show, declared that baseball was not a commercial business and Rowland is holding Danforth, Williams MARKET WAS | Selling Was in Excess of Demand and Dealings Were Speculative. New York, Jure 11 severe drain on ldcai bank resources and the resultant rise in call money ! to 53 per cent. were the restraining | influences of today’s irregular and more narrow market. The shorts availed themselves of these develop- ments to engage in a serles of attacks, which culminated with geéneral heavi- ness in the later dealings. Another break in Russian exchange to the new minimum of 24 3-8 and a further absence of demand for Russian government bonds was inexplicable to dealers in exchange in view of the im- proved _conditions reported from Petrograd. L Trading was very active during the first and last hours, but tapered off to minor proportions qurine the Mmterme- diate period. Selling was most often in excess of demand and dea’ings as a whole were highly speculative Almost the only stocks to show a degree of strength were the new and old Bethlehem Steel issues, both of which registered new maximums. The new shares made an extreme gain of 5 1-4 points to 1563 and the old ad- vanced 5 points to 136.- Only part of these advances were retained in the free offerings of the final hour.

In the fifteenth Gonzales doubled and took third when, Miller was thrown out. Hornsby Was purposely passed and stole second. As Oeschger wound up to pitch to Cruise, Gonzales dashed home with the winning run.

Fiome Run Baker, of the Yankees, through the past week struck a clip that should soon carry him up among the famous sons of swat in the Amer- ican league. The Trappe mauler, who, as @ rule, does not swing into his true stride until early July, has shown such vim and vigor in the recent sunshine that he has stepped out in front of the Yankee batters. The achievement of itself might be taken with 2 grain of salt in view of Yankee weakness with the willow, but J. Franklin -seems to be coming stronger every day and deter- mined ere another weak to crowd into ‘the select circle. Baker to date has hit 287, which is_five points better than the average of the champion run maker, Wally Pipp. Tris' Speaker maintains his lead in the American league at a .369 rate. Rumler, of ‘the Browns, who has serv- ed often in a pinch hitting role, can show . a performance of .364, vet he has been to bat only 22 times as com- pared to 160 for Speaker. Ty Cobb is the real challenger among the regu- lars, with .885. Stuffy Mclnnis, of the ‘Athletics, is riding Ty hard with .331.

Rowing at Cornell | was a dead issug. Darmouth given | over almost entirely to military af- | fairs and with many of its undergrad- ' uates in France doing heroic duty, worked out a plan of Inter-militar) company baseball games. But interest waned and competitors did not appear. Andover Academy, which has an Am- bulance Unit at the front in charge of Fred Daly, Yale's 1910 football cap- tain, has had like experience to Dart- mouth. And so on one could give in- stapces with interest always gradually dyirg out. ‘Chere has been another factor in this matter which.is a most vital one. It brings clearly before us the indirect moral value of intercollegiate ath- letics. It is unfortunate that the writer, out of deference to the col leges concerned, cannot give instances. Certain men who have watched the trend of college life in these quarters since intercoliegiate sport was aban- doneq and intramural sport adopted in its stead tell me that the moral tgne of the undergraduate body has not been as high in previous years or dur- ing the past fall and winter. Boys are doing more drinking and this in in- stitutions where nothing- but praise can be bestowed for the splendid re- sponse of the _students to various patriotic services. Intramural sport has not done the work, the very good work, of intercollegiate sport in hold- ing the student to the campus. The stimulus of intercollegiate competition, with its goal to be striven for is lack- ing. Intramural sport advocates with their wond#Aful theory of athletics for all—an end that we desire above all others now that the importance of physical fitness is a vital factor in the very life of the nation—have failed us at a most critical period in our his- tory. Perhaps this may be due to the fact that patriotic Interests have sup- erseded all other matters and — per- haps not. It appears to be a fact that at those colleges where intercollegiate sport has continued the moral life of the student body has varied but little if any from the past. Yet there is great need for iIntra- mural sport in our schools and col- leges. All students, now that we are beginning to recognize the value physical fitness for everyone, should be compeled to enjoy health and Baker, New York Youns. Detrott Pipp, New York Milan, Washington .

Although there have been .only 12 no-score games for losing teams this season, Reitiz and Herifing have each come through with two to their credit. Rettig's easiest opponents have been Worcester and New Haven, the former being shut out by 3 to 0, and New Haven, 5 to 0. Bridgeport and Springfield have fallen victims to Herring. Incidentally, the afternoon of May 30 in Springfield was the game in ghich Herring did not al- low Springfield a run and it has been the only occasion this year when the Ponies have not been able to score at least one run in a contest win or lose. Eight ofher mpitchers have succeeded in getting credit for one shut-out. Portland has been the easiest victim as far as shutouts are concerned. No less than four times have the Para- mounts been turned back without runs. Kennedy of Hartford, Tencate of Hart- ford Craig of New London and Naylor of New Haven are the twirlers who have kept the Maine state teand score- less at one time or other. Kennedy leading with a 10 to 0 victory. Wor- cester has been shut out twice, once by Rettig of Springfield and another time by Reiger of New London. Only one other club has been obliged to leave the field without scoring In two games, New Haven being victimized by Rettig and Smith of Bridgeport. Bridgeport Springfield, Lawrence and Hartfort, have been victims one each, while New London, despite its none-tco-good showing has always managed to count at_least one run. Tn attaining these records, four pitchers have gone as far as to allow opponents o3ly three hits, the smallest number in the shutout games this sea- son. Herring of Worcester, Smith of Bridgeport, Craig of New London and Weaver of New Haven have accom- plished this. Four of the games have ended in 1 to 0 scores, none at 2 to 0, two at 3 to 0, two at 4 to 0, two at 5 to 0, one at § to 0 and one at 10 to 0. Shutout records: Opp. Score. Hits Rettig, Spfid. Worc.

(Coach Washington & Jefferson Foot- ball Team.) The advocates of intramural ath- letics in our various colleges awd pre- paratery schools in place of infercol- legiate and interscholastic_sport have had_opportunity this spring to see their theory put into practiceon ac- count of the war situation causing the cancellation of many games with rival institutions. While it is not fair to judge the success or failure of this form of sport on the showing made just at this time for the reason that at such places where intramural sport was tried the excitement over war superseded all else, still some idea of whether such a_plan would be a fit- ting substitute for the more engross- ing and strenous intercolleglate com- petition can be had by judging the re- sults. Tn the first place it must be remem- bered that intramural sport is best adapted to the spring season. Foot- ball has never been considered as a fitting game for boys not long and properly trained for it and where it has been tried out as a form of in- trami-al athletics the risk and danger of injury has been too great. Base- ball, “track athletics, hockey, tennis and in fact all other major and minor athlgtic games practiced "in the col- lege) are far better suited for intra- mural competition than football. The season itself has been right for a trial. Harvard, for example, this spring anpounced that its coaches would be at the fleld to give individual instruc- tion to those men who wanted to play games. As many as two, three and four baseball plavers appeared daily and the well-conceived plan died a natural death.. Cornell, where Dr. C. C. P. Young, director of physical edu- cation. has done so much in the past to stimulate athletic interest by a recreation via the outdoor game route. But the very word compulsion is a rub. Compulsory physical education in the form of setting up arills and exercises has been dubbed ‘‘physical torture’ by college undergraduates and it has not answered the purpose. Games, competitive outdoor games, with victory as a stimulus are neces- sary, but neither are they alone suffi- cient. The varsity team with its in- tercollegiate games is the goal and likewise the means to the end. Other- wise intramural sport would die a fi- nancial death without the receipts from intercollegiate games to carry it on. As yet the educational institu- tion has nelther been able to finance it nor has.anyvone seen fit to endow it. So it seems that intercollegiate sport, where it shovy a profit, is the solg measure of support. This war will do much for athletics in our colleges. It will teach us to conduct them more economically, it will prove to us the need of physical fitness and it will bring about a more widespread practice of athletics in the future. The reforms to come with peace will be slight in so far as eligi- bility and so-called professionalism are concerned. Aristocracy and sport for the so-called gentleman’s sake along “exclusive” amateur lines, the kind of thing that barred Francis Ouiment from some amateur golf cir- cles and held back the athletic devel- opment of Harvard until Haughton put sport on a democratic basis there, seem doomed to go down with the Kaiser and Prussianism. I look for more Americanism and democracy and a widespread recognition of the value of athletics, especially college ath- letics, in fitting boys for a life of use- fulness. This will mean intramural sport, hand in hand with intercollegi- ate sport in each school college and university. Already the signs point this way. The Senior Service Corps now in its beginning, has met with government approval.
