FEDERALS DISCUSS
TENTATIVE SCHEDULE
Season to Open Four Days Ahead
of Majors; Fight For Kansas
City Franchise
Special to The Telcgrapli
Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 27. —The selec
tion of April 10 as me opening date oft
the Federal League playing season,
four days in advance of the first games
in the two major leagues, and the rec
ommendation by the umpires of some
minor changes, in the playing rules
marked the opening sessions of the
league's annual schedule meeting here
yesterday.
The tentative schedule provides for
Newark to open at Baltimore, Buffalo
at Brooklyn and Indianapolis and Chi
cago at home with St. Louis and Pitts
burgh as the contending teams.
D. J. Haft, A. F. Gordon and Arthur
G. Black, representing the Kansas
City owners, registered at the hotel
where the league meetings were held,
but did not seek recognition at the ses
sions. The belief was expressed that a
way would be found to adjust the dis
pute before the date set for the hearing
before the Circuit Court in Chicago.
"It looks like a pretty favorable
sign," said President James A. Gil
more, "when Federal clubs begin fight
ing for franchises. In fact. Federal af
fairs all around look mighty good to
me for 1915."
The new rules recommended by the
umpires provide for a fine of S2OO and
30 days' suspension for pitchers using
the "emery ball" and would rule out
of play a ball batted foul that strikes
any part of the grandstand or passes
into foul territory beyond tlrst or third
bases, the latter rule being designed
to prevent delay.

TWO POSES OF JACK JOHNSON, COLORED CHAMPION;
TELLS FRIENDS HE IS STILL IN PINK OF CONDITION
Once the big black man from abroad gets down to hard training, the results will be watched closely.
Many are of the opinion that age and lack of practice has put the colored champion out of the running. John
son says such is not the case. That he is as good a man as he ever was and as soon as he gets his work going
regularly he will prove It. He realizes that it will be a hard battle when he gets up against Jess Willard, but the
champion does not appear to be worrying as much about the result of the coming battle as, what will happen
him when he lands.

To Photograph Hearts
of Harvard Oarsmen
Special to The Telegraph
Cambridge, Mass., Feb. 27. To de
termine the effects 'of oarsmanship on
the growing college youth the Har
vard rowing management has complet
ed arrangements to have the best of
the varsity and freshman crew men
have their hearts photographed by the
X-ray.
There has been considerable discus

is harmful, and a great deal of criti

their oarsmen too hard. Harvard has
lost several valuable oarsmen through
the development of some ailment which
in some cases has been attributed to
poor judgment in handling the men.
The present plan at Cambridge will
call for each oarsman having his heart
photographed before and after the pres
ent rowing season.

"Only accidents or sickness will keep
this man out of the game and he is able
to withstand the rigors of a most
strenuous season, backstopplng every
day without intermission.
"Miller has a business interest that
lceeps him in the Kast. Being in minor
company enable him to look after Ills
business and at the same time gives
him an opportunity to keep in working
form. He is still in line for faster com
pany and would be gobbled up in quick
time if he wanted to get away.
Miller Is a player who is in the game
with a conscience. In every game he
does his very best and he listens to
wiser heads. His batting average last
year was .350, and his fielding average
.974.

Eli Aggregation Routs Columbia in
a Brilliant Contest; Other
Scores
Now York, Feb. 27.—Yale tossers
last night defeated Columbia, score 20
to 17. This victory put Yale tie with
Princeton for first place. Yale has yet
to play Penn and Dartmouth, and now
has a fair chance to win the cham
pionship again this year.
Pennsylvania won from Dartmouth,
score 33 to 16; and Princeton nosed
out a victory over Cornell, score 22 to
20. The Yale victory turned the tide
and means crucial contests during the
next two weeks.
The Columbia gymnasium was
packed to capacity with eager fans
confident of a victory for the New
York team. This confidence increased
when the first half closed with the
score 12 to 7 in the favor of the home
team.
Slowly Yale crept forward in the
second period and then with a spurt
which the Columbia lads were power
less to check, forced into the lead.
For eight minutes at the close of the
half the score stood at 16 to 14 in
favor of the visitors and Columbia was
unable to tally. Then Benson scored
from under the basket.
Yale outplayed Columbia completely
in the second half. Saving their best
work for this period the Blue never
faltered. Stackpole, "captain of the
five, went out early in the period, and
| Weiner went in, playing a brilliant
game from the minute he started.
Charlie Taft, son of the ex-President,
also played a star game fo rthe visi
tors. Arnold, However, was the bul
