This Afternoon; Keynote
of Session
New York, Feb. 3 3.—Baseball weelc
here begins to-day. The first event on
the program is. the National League
meeting, which is called for 2.30 o'clock
at the Waldorf. Garry Herrmann was
the first of the out-of-town club own
ers to arrive. He has been here for a
couple days, talking over matters with
John K. Tener. president of the Na
tional League: Harry Hepstead, of the
Giants, and William F. Baker, owner
of the Phillies, who makes this city his
winter home. Lon Hocker, represent

Barney Dreyfuss, of Pittsburgh;
Charles Weeghman, of Chicago, and
Percy Haughton, of Boston, came in at
noon. President Tener said the league
did not have any great amount of busi
ness aside from tlie formality of adopt
ing the schedule, but admitted that
the meeting probably will drag over
until Thursday.
Keynote of Meeting
The keynote of the meeting will be
retrenchment, a universal tendency
throughout organized ball to reduce ex
penses to what they were before the
Federal League uprising. This con
sists almost entirely of reductions in
players' salaries, and It was in antici
pation of this that the players' strike
"was threatened.
The National Commission will meet
to-morrow and the American League on
Thursday, and it is possible that some
matters will come up on which the
leagues may wish to hold a joint con
ference.
The joint rules committee will prob
ably meet in the course of a day or
two. It will take up the matter of
the distance at which stands must be
from the home plate in order for a
ball driven into them to be allowed as
r home run, and also will consider
some of the suggestions made for the
purpose of increasing hitting.

easily defeated Pennsylvania at bas
ketball last night, score 25 to 13, dis
playing the best form of the year.
By their victory the Elis are now tied
with Princeton for the lead in the
intercollegiate race.
The great defense work of the en
tire Yale team in the second half fea
tured the game, and so closely did
they guard the Pennsylvanians* that
they were unable to throw a basket
from the floor in the second half.
Captain McNichol, of Pennsylvania,
did all the scoring lor his team in
that half, the points being made on
goals from fouls. Olsen's basketball
tossing was about the best seen on the
Yale floor this season.

thing good in Caldwell it will surely
come out this season. a

basketball squad daily training. Things
have not broken satisfactorily for the

that new life will come to the league
in the reorganization of associations
in several towns.
Ike Kline has signed to play with
Wilkes-Barre. The local infielder was
with Millersburg last season and put
up a good game. He batted at 295,
and his fielding was .956. The local
boy is fust on bases, and covers big
territory at third base. He looks like
a comer.

CHARLEY WEINERT
EASY FOR FULTON
Minnesota Giant Pummels
Newark Boy Into Submission
in Two Rounds
mm i
: .?
New York, Feb. 13. —Fred Fulton,
tlie Minnesota heavyweight, with ail
advantage of forty pounds in weight
and several inches in reach and
height, pummeled Charley Wcinert, of
Newark, into submission at Madison
Square Garden last night in less than
two rounds. The Jersey boxer, weigh
ing only 183% pounds, faded into in
significance compared with the 220-
pound plasterer; who towered at least
six inches over Weinert. It proved a
poorly chosen match for the opening
of Grand Hugli Browne's new Na
tional Sportsmen's Club.
Fulton Too Strong
Fulton's physical advantages prov
ed a hopeless handicap for Weinert
and not once during the short dura
tion of the bout was ho able to plant
a telling blow on his lanky, angular
opponent. "•
Fulton jabbed Woinert's face with
lefts which worked with the rapidity
of a triphammer until it was bruised
and cut. Before the llrst round was
j over Weinert was dazed and groggy.
! The second round had gone only a
little more than two minutes when
Keferee Bill Brown stepped in and
stopped the bout. He waved Fulton
aside and sat Weinert v)p so that he
could not fall against the ropes. The
Jersey lad was so badly chopped and
.iabbed by Fulton's unchecked left
and right jolts that his eyes were
glassy arid he was tottering around
on the verge of collapse.

Villanova Needs Catcher;
Must Be Like Pat Reagan
That Pat Reagan, the Steelton ath
lete, was a valuable man at Villa
nova, Is shown by the following,
printed In to-day's Philadelphia

"Wanted A healthy young man
who is capable of holding down the
position of catcher on a college base
ball nine. Apply Villanova College.
"When Pat Reagan, captain of the
baseball team of Villanova College,
was graduated, the loss was a serious
blow, but Lester Henry, the giant
guard of the football team and second
string catcher, was expeeted to fit the
Kap. I' oi lowers of the baseball team
at the Maine Line institution were
shocked when it was announced that >
Henry had left college expecting to
return to his home, In Lock Haven, to
enter business. At the present time
Villanova is without even a promis
ing candidate for backstop."

An Insult to the
Intelligence of Dealers
in Tobacco Products
The most unprincipled lies, of the blackest
kind, have been circulated in certain sec
tions about CAMEL cigarettes. You may
have a very clear idea of who these are.
Such unfounded and unprincipled reports
as have been circulated, with reference to
CAMEL cigarettes, are an insult to your
intelligence, and have a decided tendency
to injure your business as well as ours.
No manufacturer who knows his business
and is willing to compete on a fair basis
would resort to such unprincipled mer
chandising methods to market his goods,
and it is a pity that the United States
Government issues license to unprincipled
manufacturers of cigarettes.
As you know, CAMEL cigarettes were
an instantaneous success; they sold from
the day we offered them to the public; the
methods used in marketing them were open
and aboveboard; they have greatly increased
the cigarette industry; their introduction
has enabled you to make quick turnovers,
thereby doing a good business on a mini
mum amount of capital.
You realize the reports were started in an effort to
injure the sale of CAMEL cigarettes, which would
necessarily result in injury to your business. We have
received, and have in our possession, a number of letters
from dealers in our products in which they express
indignation at the methods which they say are being
used by some competitors in an effort to further the
sales of their brands of cigarettes by slandering CAMELS.
Some of you doubtless know those of our competitors
who deal fairly and those who do not.
$10,000.00 REWARD
We will give $500.00 each to the first twenty
persons who will furnish satisfactory proof of the
identity of the persons who are circulating and
who are being paid to circulate such rumors,
together with the names of the persons, firms or
corporations paying them to circulate a lie to
injure the sale of CAMEL cigarettes.
CAMEL cigarettes are pure and the most delightful
and the most popular cigarettes ever sold at any price.

XO CHANCE FOR FRAT
Chicago, Feb. 13. The Baseball
Players' Fraternity will not bo given
much consideration at the meetings
in New York this week of the Na
tional and American Leagues and the
National Commission, if President B.
B. Johnson, of the American League,
has his way.
"There is no chance for the players'
fraternity to talk to us at this meet

the fraternity a long time ago."
WATERBACKS EXPLODE '
Bloomsburg, Pa., Feb. 13. With
thermometers recording tlfteen de
grees below zero two*fam\lies at Ber
wick made narrow escapes when
waterbacks in kitchen ranges ex
ploded. Hurley Charles stood In
front of his stove and his nine-year
old daughter, Rutli, had placed her
feet in the oven when the waterback
exploded and pieces of it crashed
through the ceiling info the second
floor. Father and daughter were
knocked to the floor and had narrow
escapes from being burned by the hot
coal. There -was not a part of tV.e
stove left intact and the kitchen was
wrecked. Neither victim was seriously
hurt. A stove in the home of Mrs.
Reuben Rucli also exploded and was
blown to pieces, with windows and
doors blown out. Both houses took
fire, but the flames were quickly ex
tinguished.
