B.—The National Raseball Commission yesterday denied the application of Pitcher "Eddie" Plank fo be declared a free agent. Plank based his request on a para graph in the Players' Fraternity agree ment. which relates to an uncondi tional release after a player has serv ed 10 years on one team and because the Federal League no longer has a claim to his services. The commission ruled that the first contention did not hold because Plank left the Philadelphia Americans be fore waivers had been obtained upon him and before he had been released by that club, which was contrary to the Players' Fraternity agreement. In answer to the- second contention the commission says: "His transfer to the St. Louis Amer ican League Club is a matter of record and his salary for 1916 is a matter foj negotiation between him and that club."

De Rudder, who is twenty-lfcx y*a,rsold and a skillful musician, plaved in the Antwerp Opera House. He was prosperous and comfortable with his wife and little girl.

WELLYSMiGORNER Recently six members of the first and second teams of the Philadelphia Centra! High basketball team, were declared ineligible because of failures in examinations. With the Central Pennsylvania Scholastic League teams running close, any team unfortunate enough to temporarily lose a star play er, because of study conditions, would j soon be counted out. | Plans are under way for a basketball j contest between Hassett tossers and Tech varsity live. It will probably be a part of the program on February 23 at Chestnut Street Auditorium, which will include wrestling matches. Hassett tossers are always a strong i attraction, and are in demand for games. Those who have seen the Williams port basketball team play, cannot un iderstand why the Bllltowners are not members of the Scholastic League, Wllliamsport has scored more field goals against York than any team in the League, losing games on fouls. Results in the Interoffice Bowling j League, which closed its first cham pionship season on Saturday, brought |to the front some new stars. Those ; Mt. Pleasant printers scored many | clean-up victories, and held high rec j ords throughout the season. The riv jalry was strong. There will be more j doing when the local printers meet in j basketball and baseball contests.

A. basket- j | ball series, the Senators last night | won from the Giants, score 27 to 24.1 The Athletics defeated the Cardinals, i 34 to 22. Fisher and Kint. were the I best scorers for the Giants and Ben- j nett and Hoover led for the Senators. ] Ford. Rudy and Ellis lead for the I Athletics and the big men for Card- j j inals were Winn and Lingle. in the annual championship shoot. V* Until another trophy is provided, the old cup known as the "Harrisburg Trophy" will be contested lor. The committee in charge of this big event Is scoring the country for last flyers and will need 3,000 birds. "Tad" Jones, Yale's new football coach was All-America timber both in football and baseball. lie and •'Bill" Keid of Harvard were two of the best college catchers in many years. Jones was one of the fastest running catch ers in either amateur or professional ranks. Those who predicted thai not more than ten players from the Federal circuit, would be found in major ranks, after peace terms were settled, have another think. To date fifty players have signed contracts and will lie with the teams in the South. It is more than likely that some of these players will not be in the regular line-up, but it is a safe bet, that if they show any kind of form, they will have a busy summer in some league, and draw down living salaries. Harrisburg baseball fans have two chances for league baseball this sum mer. The one is with the New York State League, and the other with the new league that will be organized in New York next week. If the Farrell circuit needs a good town, it is up to the magnates to get busy at once. In the opinion of those willing to put up I cash for a ball team, there will bo no j begging for a franchise in any organi -11 zation. Judge Dismisses Suit on Federal League Request Chicago, Feb. B.—The suit of the | Federal League against organized | baseball, based on alleged violation ;of the Federal antitrust laws, was I dismissed yesterday in the United States Circuit Court here by Judge 1 Kenesaw M.

Jts withdrawal was one of the stipulations in the re cent peace agreeement between the Federal League, newcomers In base ball, and the older leagues. No objection to the order of the dismissal was advanced by counsel for the Baltimore Federal League club. The dismissal order was with out prejudice to further appeal to the court by any of the interested parlies, j In announcing his decision to allow the motion for withdrawal.
