Struggle of Thin Clad Artists a Warm One in Fight For Chance to Get Into Big Meets.

Althoush Athletic Director Harper Journeyed to Crawforusville Tuesday with the varsity basketball team, he Kavo strict Instructions that the track men thould work out just as If he wore on the job. Over 30 nun reported to Ca.pt. llene'nan Wednesday and spent an hour tuning up In th-ir fpecial events. The bis First Regiment met that will l.f hld In Chicago on Feb. 0th rnd 7lh will be the first athletic gathering that Notre I'mme will enter in this year. This meet Is a handicap affair. It Ls held annually and next to the Central A. A. 17. championship Karnes. It Li the feature of indoor athlrtlcs In the middle west, but this ya.r the Kobl and bin- track artists are determined to rn.tl:e a strong light

for premier honors, ;tr.d Judging by the "ay the men are going- Sn practice, the chences are that Notre l)ame will Rain the long coveted goal next month. The final meet for the interhall championship will take place Thursday and the fans expect to tee many good markfi made. Hardy, Von Thron, Lacy, F.crgmann, Frltch and a few others have qualified for the 4 0 and 22o .yard dashes. When the? men meet in the finals tomorrow the winner will be clocked In varsity tJnv. Von Thron stepped tho 40 in 4 3-5 seconds In tho preliminary meet. Thl.s mark, is within a fifth of a second of the world's record and Is rarely bettered by the varsity runners. The same men have gone under :26 Hat In the 2L'0 and do far better in this event in the finals. The results of tomorrow's llnal gathering will determine to a great extent what men will bo entered by No

tre Dame In the First Regiment meet. In the hurdle events there is good material to burn. Klrkland seems to have the edge on tho hurlers. although the Portland boy js only in his freshman year. In the first preliminary' meet he topped the barriers, both high and low, within one-fifth of a second of the world's records. As he was not pushed In either race, it appears that he will he able to fill the shoes of last year's phenom, Pritchard. Kirkland has all the earmarks of a champion hurdler and looks the equal of the old varsity stnrs, Smlthson. Fletcher and Williams, all of whom had world's records In tho hurdle races. Notre Dame 1m well stocked with middle distance men. Hesldes the varsity stars, Capf. Hene.han. Birder, Kx-Capt. Plant and Kockne. there are many eleyer interna!! men. Voelkers and McDonough n led the quarter off In fast time Saturday, while Harden and Welch made good marks In the other preliminary niwtP. The lirst two are also crack half-mllers and when these men tep to the starting mark with Wajjge, Bartholomew, Coetello and Kinelln, there will be lined up an dray of talent capable of giving the veteran Plant the tussle of hi life, Costello, Bartholomew and Waggo are also expected to count heavily In the mile and to be of service to the varsity in that event later In the season. Martin, a South Bend phenom, seems to he head rnd shoulders in ability over the other broad Jumpers. He astonished the fans by his long leaps In the List meet and he is expected to come close to the varsity record in this event. Y eager, Brady, Lynch and McDonald are among the men. who will be eligible-for the pole vault. In the high jump a number of good men are entered. Miller of Brownson has gone the highest of any but the hop of placing on the varsity team will cause th other jumpers to let themselves out to the limit and n.ike tho competition most keen. The giant freshman, Bachmann. formerly a member of the I. A. C. is doped to win the shot put. The going in Thursday meet will certainly be very fart. This meet, because of the number of freshmen stars entered, will be the greatest Interhal' gathering in Notre Damn track history.

Pres. Farrvll of the New York Yankees has a letter which Is pretty strongproof that Roy Harwell in satisfied with hL-i old berth. Hoy says he will report at Hot Springs Feb. 15. The F -derail have been dickering with him.

BY HUGH S. FUIiLKUTOX. Special to The News-Times. SEAT OF WAR, Jan. 27. Gen. Jose Tinker has Just replied to the National question, "Can the Federal league succeed?" by blowing up another bulwark of organized baseball. The war Is raging close to the citadel, with the Federals threatening to carry the second line of defenses by

assault. This Tinker person, discarded by the Chicago Cubs, thrown out of Cincinnati, suddenly has become the biggest figure in sport in America, if not in the world. During the Inst busy month he has led the attack. The sit reports tre: Allies, 90 captured. 1 recaptured. Federals claim to hav.; signed nearly 100 major league players. Total value of these players, about $200,000. Cost to Federals in salaries, (about) $70,000. Minor leagues captured, (about) 52. Value in organized ball, (about) $75,000. Cost in excess salaries to Federals, (about) $30,000. Estimated increase major league salaries to retain players, $60,000. The Federals give figures, over-estimated in Instances, but their figures are a strong reply to the question as to whether or not they can exist. Car the Federal league exist? Can it prosper? Is there a field for It?

I believe It can exlHt; tnat tnere is a field for it, not as large as it claims, but still large, and that It can prosper in a moderate way. If it succeeds in breaking the National league (which is Its object) it will occupy an enlarged and profitable field. However, I am not trying to decide or predict the success or failure of the league. I have arranged with one

of the big officials and backers of ti e.

Federal to tell American fans why a:.d how ho thinks the Federal will win: with a prominent owner in organized ball to tell why he believes the Federal will collapse; and with one of the bri:inest managers in the country to tell .hat he believes the effect of the Federal assault upon the major league will be on the playing end of the ame; which is about all we as fans care about. T have arranged with one of the greatest legal authorities on contracts in America to analyze the contract which is the basis of the entire war. It Is a stupendous task to organize, train and equip eight major league clubs, build eight parks and work up public enthusiasm in four months. It and In the crisis Tinker has risen

"THIS TINKER PERSON HAS SUDDENLY BECOME THE BIGGEST FIGURE IN SPORT IN AMERICA." HUGH FULLERTON.

Great team work and speedy passing enabled the five athletes from Corhy hall of Notre Dame to swamp the C. A. club five In a one-sided battle, 5 4 to 22, Tuesday night at the club's

gymnasium. The winning quintet played varsity ball and it was through the great basket tossing ability of Daly and Dirkland at the forwards and the splendid team work shown by the two guards, liiska and Corcoran, that the university five were enabled to pile up so great a tally. Cassldy of the Athletics was probably the most accurate shooter for his five. He and Fauber got away at times with some pretty team work. Speed and lightning-like passing of the ball was a feature of the playing of the college boys, v.-ho gave the elub team the worst beating it ever suffered upon Its home floor.

CHICAGO. Jan. 2S. Milwaukee' leading boxtns clubs are- engasrerl in a merry battlo for the services of "Ad Wolgast. Wolsast and Cih?. White arc to engage in a return match in Milwaukee eorae time in Fobuary. The club that gets Wolgajt will get White and tho match will draw between $10,000 and $15,000. Hence the war of the promoters. Tom Andrews, who stages his showin the Auditorium, signed White to men any 133 pounder on Feb. 0. Thomas expected to get Wolgast for Charlie. Tom Jones. Wolgaat's manager, gave Andrews his terms but the promoter to date has not accepted them.

Tuesday Frank Mulkorn, who staged the first White-Wolgast match and the recent Rivers-Wolcast controversy in the Hippodrome, dropped into Chicago and visited Nate Iew!?, White's mentor. He informed Lewis that under an agreement ho hed with Wolg.a2t, Ad would fisht for no other club in Milwaukee. Iewis told him to pet Wolgast and he could Ilwo White. So now it is up to the rival promoters. Wolgast is due in town Wednesday morning from Cadillac. He leaves in the afternoon for Fond du Kic. Wis., where he fights Rudy Unholz a scheduled ten rounds Thursday night. He meets Manage Jones here and they are expected to decide which Milwaukee club gets the White match before they start for Fond du Lac. Jones said Tuesday night that so far as he knew, Wolgast bad no binding; agreement with Mulkem to th effect that be would fight only beforo his club. Ho did not make the statement a positive one, however. Tommy Walsh, manager of Joe Mandot, rrot bach from Now York Tuesday wit. some interesting information on the fisticuff situation. Said Thomas: "I wouldn't be surprised to see them giving decisions In New York rinrs before long. The game there needs some sort of a tonic to keep up the public interest and those who have made a study of the situation seem to thing that decisions will be the very thing to revive waning enthusi-

It's not the old foul pivor punch that La Blanche ued on Jack Dempsey, but a perfectly legitimate punch. "They're already excited alout the McFarland-Glbbons match there, and Billy Gibson says the fight Is surely on. He expects it to draw $25,000. New York fans like Gibbons ami are picking him to beat, Packey."
