Because of the far-reaching effect of any
decision, no one of the opposing magnates
gathered here today would venture a
guess as to tho probable length of the
hearing. Every ono exprossod hope that
It would be over within two weeks, at
the longest. Both Fedorals and organized

perusing copies of affidavits furnished by both

was expressed. The expert opinion Interpreted

as furnished by James Cusack, erstwhile um-

Rublen raid that he had gone carefully
through the A. A. U. legislation on the point
and could find nothing of recent date to offset
the ruling that limits tha time that on athlete

to the period between June 1 and October 1.
Jtublen admitted that the footnote In the rules
book conflicted with this rullnr, but waa Inef
fective because H had been superseded by later
Jeglslatlon and was only In the code because
t had been overlooked.
George W. Orton. who Is making a hard

The Naps are now the Indians, and,
therefore, no longer the Naps. Now that
we have a precedent for name changing,
why not steal the idea outright and apply
It to the Philadelphia National league

Phillies,'' whose owner lives in New York;
whose manager lives In New England,
whose home-bred stars have been scat

were, some ! whose but why prolong the

A Burning Question
Judge Kenesaw It Landis, sitting in tho

hear tho Federal League's charges that
organized ball Is a monopoly and other

theorist is very likely to know more
about a game that Is his hobby than
the man who is practical. Cases too
numerous to mention aro to be referred
to as proof. Coach Rush just at pres

future. Wo sincerely bellev if he Is
