Perhaps the most touching after math of the .disaster Is the fear gen erally expressed by citizens to-day that for the first time in its history, Halifax this year will not celebrate Christmas. Th*. dealers have aban doned all plans for *he holiday rush. Some effort will be made to make the Yuletide the happiest possible under the circumstances for the des titute and for the bulk of the wound ed. Many of the New England sur geons and nurses probably will spend Christpia:; here. Already they have planned for a real New England Christmas in the hospitals, especially in those institutions crowded with children, the majority of whom may be blind for life. f NEWS RNI? NOTES OF THE BOY StOUTSS SCOUT TEAMS TIE ON THE GRIDIRON Troops Six and Two Fail to Score in Championship Battle On Wednesday afternoon Troop 6 met'a team from Troop 2 in a game for the scout championship. The result was a scoreless tie, neither team being able to make a touch down. Both teams made several trials for field goals, but none were successful. Troop 6 entered the game in a weakened condition, due to the absence of Halfbacks Soult and Troup and Front Line Men Heagy, Diener and Rhinesmith. In all athletic contests hereafter, Troop 6 will require that on the day before the contest each troop hand to local headquarters a lineup and have the same certified. On Tuesdav evening, December 18th, the troop will hold a Father and Son Night. The program for the affair will include a demonstra tion of scout craft, a supper pre pared by the Susquehannock Council of Camp Fire Girls and addresses by various scout leaders. Scouts Diener, Rhinesmith, Black and Mattson were members of .the cast of "Out Somewhere," the play given in the Orpheum Theater last week for the Roberta Lloyd Disbrow Sunshine Society. Scouts Diener and Nye are doing messenger service for the Red Cross. Active work has been started on "De Whlpperwill," the play to be given by the troop and Camp Fire Girls some time in January. Americans to Retain Former Player Limit; Training Trips Still On Chicago, Dee. 14.—Retention of the 26-player limit and continuation of the usual spring training trips were decided upon at the closing session ftf the American League meeting last night. The clubowners cleared up these points in preparation for the, joint meeting witli the National Lea guers here to-morrow. Summarized, the important ques tions to be considered by the sixteen clubowners of the two leagues arc: The advisability of reducing the playing schedule to 140 games. The advisability of a 164-game schedule running only live and one half months. Devising a method to collect the Federal war tax. Settlement of the financial obliga tions resulting from the Federal League war. Suggestions of a new division of the world series receipts. Inserting a war clause in the play ers' contracts to protect the club owner in the event the player is called Into the National Army. President Johnson's announcement that the SIIO,OOO fund agreed upon to reimburse backers of Federal League clubs still remained unpaid caused a surprise. He said that the American League was ready to pay its share —$55,000 —at oifce, but that the entire issue would lvave to be set tled by the clubowners of the two leagues to-morrow. Ii was revealed that Edward Gwinner, who lost heav ily in backing the Pittsburgh club of the Federal League, is to receive $50,000 of the fund, and .the balance is to be divided between Harry Sin clair, whh financed the Newark club, and the Ward estate of New York, which supported the Brooklyn Fed erals.
