Special to The Telegraph
Pittsburgh, Dec. 24.—Edward W.
Gwtnner, president of the Pittsburgh
Federal League Club, announced yes
terday that he was through with base
ball for all time, and that his fling
had cost him SIOO,OOO. He claims to
have been kicked out of baseball by
the magnates of the National and

by several of the Federal owners. He
is to be given $50,000 for the improve
ments he made on the Federal
grounds, and told to get the best price

"Through With Politics";
Taft Will Not Run Again
For President of U. S.
Special to The Telegraph
Philadelphia, Dec. 24.—Former Presi
dent William Howard Taft declared
positively yesterday that he will not be
a candidate for the presidential nom
ination.
Mr. Taft spent three hours in Phil
adelphia yesterday while on his way
to make an address in Allentown. On
his arrival he said, in reply to ques
tions put to hiin by reporters:
"X am through with politics. I will
positively not be a candidate for the
Presidency. Even if I am nominated
unanimously, I will not be a candi
date."
When asked if Roosevelt had been
indorsed by Republican National Com
mitteemen. Mr. Taft replied:
"How should 1 know?"
He was asked if he thought Mr.
Roosevelt should become a candidate.
His only reply was a smile, the famous
Taft smile. He had no comment to
make on the Gary dinner.
Mr. Taft was then asked if he
thought any of Pennsylvania's "native
sons" were of presidential caliber.
"Pennsylvania has many great citi
zens," he answered, "but I am not pick
ing candidates. I am through with
politics."

ity is characteristic in the Becker &

TWO TEAMS MAY
OVERLOOK LIMIT
Agree to Keep All Players For
One Year; Herrmann
Tells It
* ___
Special to The Telegraph
Cincinnati. 0., Dec. 24.—The Chi
cago Nationals and the St. Louis
Americans are exempt until the year
1917 from that provision under which
organized baseball Is now working,
limiting the number of players of each
team on the twentieth of May of each
year.
This is part of the baseball peace
agreement that was signed here, ac
cording to August Hermann, chair
man of the National Commission. Mr.
Herrmann made this announcement
when told that Harry Sinclair, one of
the Federal League peace conferees,
had stated that there would be no
player limit in baseball next year.
In the National League the number
of players limited to a team is 21,
while in the American League the
limit Is fixed, at 25.
"Owing to the combination and
amalgamation of two clubs in tl.e
Federal League to a club in the Na
tional and one in the American
League, we considered it unjust to ask
these clubs to dispose of what would j
naturally be considered a large num
ber of players." said Mr. Herrmann.
"I estimate that with the Chicago I
Cubs absorbing the Chicago Federals
and the St. Louis Browns taking In
the St. Louis Federals, each of these
clubs will have dose to fifty players
at the present time.
"It would be unjust to ask them
to dispose of such a large number as
would be necessary in order to cut
down to the limit under which organ
ised baseball is now working. There
fore, we gave them until 1917 to dis
pose of the surplus players."
When asked If any or all clubs In
the major leagues would be exempt
from the limit, or the rule would be
abrogated until 1917. Mr. Herrmann
said, "Absolutely no!"

Paris, Dec. 24.—Sarah Bernhardt, a

Madame Bernhardt talks of her

the arrangements. Nevertheless, she
appears to be doubtful whether she

Basketball fans are quite jubilant
over the fact that this year they will
have a real attraction for Christmas
night. Horace Getsel, manager of the
Harrisburg Independents, is the ono
person responsible.
The baseball dove of peace has set
tled down for a quiet Christmas, minus
a few tall feathers and nursing some
bruises.
It is said the cost of baseball peace
in round figures will be $20,000,000.
This does not mean that much in
actual cash will change hands, but it
means that assets, ball parks, players,
money, etc., estimated at that value
are involved in the peace transactions.
Soon after the holidays football, rule
makers will get together for a pow
wow. That there will be some changes
made in present rules Is a foregone
conclusion. The style of game will
not be changed.

Pat Moran, manager of the Phil

take back any contract jumpers. No
one will blame the Quaker leader for
taking this stand, providing he can
get a winning team without Doolan,
Beaton and others. Of course there
Is only one "Benny" Kauff, but It is
a safe bet that jumper or no jumper,
if a baseball player is worth anything
he will not be out of a job very lons.
The Blue Kidge league wants Sun
day baseball. All games will have
to be played outside of Pennsylvania.
Chambersburg, Gettysburg and Han
over are opposed to the proposition
and may withdraw from the league
if the other towns agree to have it.
The league made money last season
and offered an attractive hnsebatl
game. With Sunday baseball there i»
always trouble, especially in smaller
towns. y
Harrisburg is ready for classy base
ball. It cannot be anything but the
best. The New York State League
is due fttr a rejuvenation and two new
towns. The reclassification of terri
tories will probably Jake two town?.
Harrisburg has been picked for some
