SAN ANTOMIO EXPRESS: FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 23, 1914.
WITH GIANT COLTS
OTHER SPRING GAMES NOW BE-
ING ARRANGED—WORKING
ON PARK IMPROVEMENTS.
Federal President
Who Has Been Busy
Two exhibition flutes have bwn arranged
by the Bronchos for March, and negotia-
tions are under way looking to the sched-
uling nf others. The two now listed are
for March 2K and 2!>, Saturday and Sun-
day, with the New York (Hants' Colts.
Two week-day dates are probable wilh the
first, ream of the (Hants as well,
(James will be played with picked clubs
of players from the C.irr riaseball School,
and It is probable that a couple of Ameri-
can Association dubs will be through this
section. However, the management Is go-
ing slowly III this master, and will take
only such games as may prove interesting,
"without giving the HVonohos so many
games they Cannot have time for the de-
tailed work of preparation for the season.
Manager Goodwin plans to start Ills new
men to work the first week of March and
to keep them busy in two sessions each
day. There Is nothing /his year to inter-
fere with the training term, and with a
bis squad to overhaul plenty iif time is
desired.
Work at Block Stadium goes on rapidlv
in making the new entrance from South
T'resa Street. The roof of the grandstand
ha> been painted and the grass of outfield
anil infield has been treated to a cutting.
The chairs in the boxes iiave been painted,
and the whole park Is taking on a real
baseball air.
Another Broncho has joined Southpaw
Bever at C'arr's Has,ball School. He Is
Outfielder Carl Johnson, the Kloresville
lad whom the local club will give a trial
this season. Johnson is a likely young-
ster aDd is resolved to show all he has
in the spring term. It is figured that
with more experience he will make a good
man for some club. He will get a real
trial with the others utr spring.
Contractu are coming In daily from
Bronchos, old and new, and present pros-
pects are for few. If any. holdouts any-
where alorv 'he line. The management
has been as liberal as is consistent wilh
the Texas t.eagne salary limit, and those
who persist in being holdouts will find
themselves dispensed with. There are too
many good lads in the squad for the
Bronchos to beg anyone to play ball for
San Antonio.
Ouiinet Coining South.
BOSTON. Jan. --.—Francis Ouirnet, the
open golf champion, started South today
for two weeks 'practice at PlD •hurst. N. ('.
He expects to play on several courses in
the middle States before sailing In April
to compete in the British amateur and
open title events.

VICTOR KELLER ANI) S. A. MER-
RIA.M WILL COMPETE FOR
MUG AND MEDAL.
As (he result of I ho semi-finals yester-
day in the Tallmun cup tournament at the
Laurel Heights Golf Club, Victor Keller
and S. A. Merriam will meet today to de-
cide the winner and runner-up. Keller
won his watch from Ned Mclllhenny yes-
terday, 2 up, while Merriam won by de-
fault from Oscar Melllhonny, the latter
being unable to get out to the clifb to
play.
The professionals, Jimmy Donaldson and
.Tack Burke, did some excellent work yes-
terday. Donaldson overdrove th»- first hole
by fifteen yeards, this making his drive
from the No. l t*.»» ;wo yards. He also
drove with his eleek over No. •'! hole. In
these shots he was. aided ;i bit by the
wind, but a drive of ,'UK) yards into the
wind on No. 9 showed that he was in
form, anyway.
Burke, playing in a foursome with W.
J. Moves and Phil F. Webster, amateurs,
and Syd Cooper, professional, made a V>~
for one round. His driving, approaching
and putting all were excellent, despite the
handicap imposed by the high wind.
PREPARE FOR LEGAL BATTLE
Federal League and Lawyers Outline
Their Plans.
CHICAGO. .Tan. 22. Plaus for a legal
war on organized baseball have been out-
lined by the Federal League and lawyers,
who will direct the campaign, are rapidly
preparing for defense <»r. offense as de-
velopments require, according to Presi-
dent Gilmore. who returned today from
Cincinnati, lie refused to discuss'the re-
port, that the Toronto franchise might be
transferred to Cincinnati.
,Except that the league had prepared for
war in time of peace, Gilmore would not
discuss anj plan of action which may
result from the signing of William Killifer
by the Philadelphia Nationals after he
signed with the Chicago Federals. Charles
Weeghman, local club owner, refused to
receive from a postman a registered pack-
age marked in one corner "William Killi-
fer," and thought to contain Killifer's
contract with the Federal League and the
$o00 advance money said to have been
given him by Weeghman.
Manager Joe Tinker of the Chicago club
received a telegram today from Ad V
Hrennan, which he believes indicates that
Brennan will remain with the Federals,
as follows;
"Telegram received this morning. I
have stood out. Would advise you to
take contract offered by Mr. Baker." Wire
me this city. William Killifer was mis-
led by him. but will stick with you. Wire
me immediately when I can see you."
Charles Weeghman, owner of the Chicago
Federals, signed his 90 year lease for the
North Side property where the new Federal
League park is to be located. The Federal
Park site is the property purchased several
years ago when the American Association
discussed the possibility of putting a club
In Chicago.
John fevers, manager of the Chicago
Cubs, is in Florida, it was reported here,
to obtain signatures of three Chicago
players.
Tommy Leach, George Pierce and Arthur
Phelan are spending the winter in Florida.
It was reported that after livers has their
names on a contract he has been ordered
to keep traveling until the entire Chicago
list has been signed.
SI. LOUIS COLLEGE
FIRST TIME IN BASKET-BALL HIS
TORY—WINNERS SHOW
CLASSY WORK.
A genuine surprise was handed the bas-
ket-ball talent among the local schools
when the San Antonio Academy five yes-
terday afternoon defeated the St. Louis
College team on the former's court, 28 to
Id. It. was the first time in history the
two blue and white basket-ball teams have
met with this result. 1: appears as though
the Academy is about to carry still farther
in basket-ball what it started in football
in the way of sports revival. Throughout
the first half it looked very much like St.
Louis' game, this team finishing the first
session in the lead, 14 to 11. But in the
second half the Academy piled up seven-
teen points while the Collegians were get-
ting two.
Speedy passing, once they got over their
sloth of the first half, featured the Acad-
emy's game. Garvey was lender in the
scoring, getting seven and four free goals.
But the work of the two guards, Lang-
ford and Corley, was of the same glass.
For the losers Cody played a good game in
attack, although he was in a guard posi-
tion. The lineup:

ST. MARK'S TONIGHT WILL PLAY
TRAVIS CLUB IN POSTPONED
LEAGUE GAME.
That the St. Mark's club of the City
Basket-ball League will invade the Travis
Club gymnasium tonight determined to
battle the Travis team to a standstill 1s
I assured, and the followers of the former
J five believe it capable of giving the oppo-
sition a harder fight than when they met
| the earlier part of the week. The game
tonight, which will be called at 8:15
o'clock, tts one of those postponed from
eral.v in the series.
St. Mark's has not as yet been hit by the
rule regarding the se.,ool players repre-
senting a club and school at the same
time. Miller, the Episcopalians' center,
is the only one who probably will be lost
thus; and he as yet has not engaged in
a championship game for bis team at St.
Mary's College. Captain Hugo Elmendorf
of the St. Mark's team last night said he
hoped to keep his team up to its present,
strength, and that he would keep in the
race in any case, even though he may lose
several men. This spirit appears to be
general with the Episcopalian squad, and
has given rise to a good deal of favora-
ble comment.

CINCINNATI TO BE INVADED
Federal League Will Put Club in That
City.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, .Inn. 22.—Cincinnati,
which is the headquarters of organized
baseball, inasmuch as the officers of the
National Baseball Commission are located
here, is seriously threatened by an in-
vasion <»f the Federal League. At a secret
meeting held last night in the office of
a law firm, it was almost finally decided
to switch the franchise of the Toronto
1 ederal League club to Cincinnati.
James A. Gilmore, president of the Fed-
eral League; 10. K. (iates, counsel for the
league; Joseph Dixon, president of the
newly organized city league, and Paul
Connelly, an attorney, were present at
the meeting. Dixon, who is prominent in
amateur sports, particularly baseball, out-
lined the local situation to Gilmore ana
Oates. A site for a new baseball park
within fifteen minutes' ride from the heart
of the city was considered, but nothing
positive was determined, except that
Dixon would direct the new club if an
invasion «»f this territory is decided upon.
It Is understood that Gilmore and Gates
will return to this city soon to go deeper
into the matter and arrange field and
financial details.
President Gilmore repeated his state*
n.t lit made yesterday that he will fight for
tin services of Catcher Killifer, who yes-
terday signed with the Philadelphia 'Na-
tional League club, to which he belonged
previous to signing a contract with the
Federal League.
When he would begin action or what
course ho would take was not disclosed
by Mr. Gilmore.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS
AND YET, SAYS INVESTIGATOR.
MAJORITY OF STUDENTS GET
NO BENEFITS.
BLOOM INGTON, Intl., Jan. 22.—Athletic
expenses of colleges in the United States
amount to more than $1,000,000,000 a year,
but the major portion of the money does
not go to pay for physical exercises of the
students. This information was contained |
in a report submitted today by l)r. 11.
Shindlc Wingert, director of physical edu-
cation at Ohio State University.
The majority of students attending
American colleges do not take the physical
exercises necessary to keep their bodies in
a Ihealthful condition, the report says. Dr.
Wingert shows that of 111,600 students in
150 institutions, only 18,.150 participated iu
athletic games, while in non varsity games
45,378 men take part. On the sports not
played under the direction of colleges only
$71,000 is spent annually.
Out of 14.1 colleges taking part in inter-
collegiate sports 87 per cent take no in-
terest in fostering any type of physical ex-
ercise, the report says. Fifty one per cent
try to create love for sports by promoting
football, baseball, basket-ball and other
games. Twenty-one per cent give correc

WILL FIGH r FOR KILLIFER
Federal League Will Go to Court to
Enforce His Contract.
INDIANAPOLIS, Intl., Jail. 22.—"If Wil-
Ham Killifer plays baseball at all he will
play with the Federal League,'* E. E.
Gates, general counsel for the Federal
League, said tonight in discussing the ac-
tion of the player in signing a contract
with the Federal League and subsequently
signing ti* play with the Philadelphia Na-
tional League team. Mr. Gates declared
that court decisions sustain this view.
"If Killifer actually has signed a con-
tract to play with Philadelphia there are
but two conclusions which follow such ac-
tion," Mr. Gates said. "First, that organ
ized baseball has abandoned its statement
that it would not take back into organized
baseball a player who jumped to tlie Fed-
eral League: second, that the law will
protect the Federal League in all contracts |
it has signed with players, and Killifer !
can be enjoined from playing with the j
Philadelphia club. Both the players and ;
their contracts will be protected, even if it
is necessary to resort to the courts to do
so. and the courts have held that a player's
contract for a specific seasou can not be
broken."
Mr. Gates departed tonight for Chicago,
where a conference will be held tomorrow.

MONEY WILL GO LONG WAY
Construction and Repair Expense io
Come From $300,000 Bond Issue.
In addition to the seven new school
buildings and the improvements on eight
others, the expenses of constructing the
south wing to the High School aud the
eight room addition to the (iarden Street
school will come out of the $.'100,000 bond
issue. Construction work of these two
buildings was started some time ago and
the new additions are rapidly assuming
shape.
Leo M. J. Dielinann, school architect, is
now preparing plans for the Beacon Hill
school, to cost $J4,000; the Highland Park
school, to cost $.'10,000, and the Manual
Training and Domestic Science building, to
cost $50,000. Plans are also being prepared
for the Lopez Street school, to cost $32,-

Lieutenant Governor Mayes said that it
is not his intention to be there, his atten-
tion being called to the report that Mr.
Lane has said he would seek an endorse
ment of the Fort Worth conference, but
would not agree to be eliminated. Mr.
Mayes said that he understood from read-
ing the call of the chairman that; the
meeting would not endorse any candidate
and therefore he would not violate the
amenities of the trail by seeking an en-
dorsement, though, of course, he will be
glad to have the endorsement of the Fort
Worth conference and of any other con-
ference that saw proper to voluntarily
give it.
Mr. Mayes thinks that an effort to se-
cure such an endorsement of any candi
dates Saturday woijld create friction and
possibly a rupture and prejudice the
prohibition cause since It has been repeat-
edly stated that such was not tlie purpose
of the meeting. The people generally
would resent it as a political snap action.
He favors starting plans to petition the
executive committee to suomit at the July
primaries the question of submitting a
prohibition amendment In 1015 and thinks
the conference would be wise in limiting
itself to a session of the best plan to
bring about State-wide prohibition. He
says he feels assured that under present
conditions and auy likely to arise he can
e&bily be located.
Following an enthusiastic conference of
poll tax campaign workers, held at the
Gunter during the luncheon hour yester-
day. it was announced that a great mass,
meeting to be held one night, next week
i's a means of further arousing enthusiasm
Is one of the subjects under consideration.
Another plan is to offer a prize lor the
city voting precinct that shows, at the
close of registration, the greatest percent-
age of paid poll tax receipts in compari-
son with the total possible vote. So far
this distinction belongs to Precinct No.
26, where Alderman Uhr lives. Out of
a possible .'550 votes in that precinct 320
of them had done the civic duty of the
hour up to 6 o'clock last night.
The campaign committee, of which C.
S. Fowler is chairman, still ha:i in re-
serve. waiting for the proper moment to
start it, the idea of having big employers
march with their men to the registration
offices *in a body There are other plans
that, if occasion for their use arises, will
be utilized.
Included in those who discussed plana
for the campaign's "whirlwind finish"
were President L. B. Clegg and Secre-
tary Carrington of the Chamber of Com-
merce. Chairman Fowler and Vice Chair-
man L. J. Hart of the poll tax committee,
practically all the directors of the Cham-
ber of Commerce, Oscar C. Guessaz and
many others.
Mayor Brown and several aldermen and
courty offiieals were In attendance aud
showed as keen interest in the outcome
of the present movement as did any of
the other workers. Alderman Uhr was
congratulated because of the fact his home
precinct is showing a greater devotion to
the city's needs in this respect than any
other in the city. He was told by several
of his colleagues, however, that, the rec-
ord is going to be changed in their favor
before the registration ceases.
Secretary Carrington of the Chamber of
Commerce said, after the conference: "Con-
tinuance of activity in the poll tax cam-
paign is marked by continuance of results
at the collectors' offices. We could not.
help being pleased with the progress of
the campaign during the past, few days.
"We, however, have a reason for hoping
the full tide of the movement has not yet
come. We are running right around 700
a day, but we ought to be going over 1,000
every twenty-four hours.
"There is no question about the votes
being here and in the county to pass Dal-
las and if we can only interest men to
the extent that they will take the little
time needed to register, the proud distinc-
tion of leading the State in polls will !>«
outs. It is a far bigger matter than most
of us seem to realize.
"But the enthusiasm is growing like
vegetables in spring, and that, together
with the concerted and organized efforts
we are putting forth, will inevitably keep
the campaign waxing warmer and
warmer."
