FRED W. DINGER WINS BIG PRIZE IN KANSAS CITY SHOOT—TECH TRACK MEN START! FRED. W. DINGER CAPTURES PRIZE; BEATS BIG FIELD Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 14.—A Pennsylvanian is tha holder of the interstate individual amateur pigeon cup. Forty-three trapsmen from eight states competed in the feature event of the third day's shooting of the fourteenth annual midwinter tournament yesterday and at the close F. W. Dinger, of Harrisburg, Pa., was high gun. In the field were several of the best amateur shots in the country, and Dinger's victory was a big 1 boost for trapshooting back in the Keystone state. Dinger didn't miss a bird during the race, but at that was forced into a shootoff before winning the high honors. Each contestant shot at fif teen birds. Dinger, William Ridley, of Whatcheer. lowa, and A. L Koy >n, of Fremont, Neb., had clean scores at the finish of the regular j program. Ridley was the first to t toe the mark in the extra race at, tight birds. Missed Three Birds The lowan missed his first three birds and dropped out.

The National Baseball League club owners ad journed their scheduled meeting last evening and left the decks clear for the American Leaguers, who are scheduled to go into session to-day. The National Leaguers completed all their plans for the start ot" the championship season. They revoked the waiver rule and went back to the eld system of recalling waivers on players claimed by .other clubs. They l rfused to alter the player limit of twenty-two players to a club and they also refused to grant- Branch Rickey's request that a purchase price of $1,500 be placed upon all fret agents such as college players and the like. Other important happenings of the day was the purchase by the Phillies of Mil" ins. a big right-handed pitel, of the Louisville club. Mains son years ago pitched for the De troit club and now he is about to jiiake a re-entry into the big league. Pat Moran says he needs pitchers and is still looking for them, although lie departed for his home last even irg- • Johnny Evers, who tried to help out the Phillies last year, signed up for one year last night with the Bos ton Red Sox. Trojan Johnny is to as sist Manager Barrow, who also bought ''enter Fielder Whiteman from To ronto. NVhiteman was with the Yankees when Frank Chance was manager of that team. nneball More Costly Instead of going into a long dis cussion of the war tax question they appointed a committee of three with power to act to confer with the American Leaguers and adopt a -unl lorm system of collecting the tax. It is expected that the decision will be to obviate the burden of making change in pennies by increasing the prices to the full nickel. Therefore, baseball is going to cost the fans a little bit more, but at the same time the fans will have the opportunity of contributing further to the war funds, as the extra cents charged them will be turned over to war relief by the clubs. The National's committee appointed to make arrangements with the Americans consists of William F. Baker. Barney Dreyfus and Harry Hempstead, representing the Phila delphia, Pittsburgh and New York clubs, respectively. After Branch Rickey had succeeded in having the league return to the old waiver rule, which permitted the withdrawal of waivers, he tried to have the price of $1,500 placed upon all players who are free agents. I'nder the present arrangement' the value of players secured through the waiver route will lie determined by the sell ing and purchasing clubs and in case t hey cannot agree upon a suitable price the valuation of the players will he fixed by the president of the league. It was Rickey's idea to have a fixed price for college players whose ability is not yet established. That would relieve the league heads from the re sponsibility of placing a price upon them. The club owners, however, did not agree with the St. magnate and the motion was lost. The return to the old waiver rule does not affect the drafted players. In other words, there can be no clash with the national agreement. Waivers on drafted players cannot be recalled if the player is claimed by a club of the American League. Sunday Baseball Will Save Internationals New York, Feb. 14.—1f Sunday] baseball is legalized in New Yorkj State, the International League will j to Dlay ball this coming' season. If the bill is killed in the legislature, the organization will sus pend for the duration of the war.

The facts in the | j case were not disputed by the de- i fense. It was charged the two men i used a card on one side of which j was printed a representation of the j i American flag and verses of the ' "Star Spangled Banner." and on the [ other side a motion picture program. ' Judge Kunkel in reviewing the case j and interpreting the act of 1897,! I rules that the law in that case is j ' written to protect the physical flag j ! and not a printed copy of it. The I desecration of the flag by using a picture, print of representation of it ; for advertising purposes was pro- , I liibited some years later by a statute j passed in 1907. The court in dis- ! posing of the case_ states that while 'a special verdict authorizes a ver -1 diet of guilty to be entered if it is found the defendants violated the act of 1897; but as it appeared from the facts the indictment should have j i been drawn under the later law. a j verdict of not guilty is ordered. ! Another interesting case disposed i of in an opinion by Judge Kunkel j was a suit by Anna R. Motter against j Belle Stephenson, administratrix of j the estate of John Marquart, de- ! ceased. It appeared from the facts in the case that the late Mr. Marquart be queathed a life insurance policy to a friend. His sister took out letters of administration on the estate and refused to pay the policy. A court suit was decided against her, and it is stated she then refused to pay the costs of the proceeding. The court decided that as she personally had more at interest In withholding the Insurance policy she was liable for the costs of the prosecution to get the money. rank of contenders.

Central leads in scoring with an average of 37 points per contest. Tech's guards have held all opponents to a total of 22 points per game. This is exceeding ' ly low, as the nearest competitor in offensive work is Steelton, with 30 tallies scored against the Blue and White per game. Allentown, cellar champions, are the lowest in scoring: they have tal lied 2 2 points per game. Reading's opponents have rolled up 39 points each game. Tech has scored 215 points to date. The Maroons are the only quintet to go beyond the 200 point mark But they have al ready played six contests. On the other hand, in six con tests they have less points scored against them than any other team in the League. They have been scored against 131 times. Central in four games has 135; while Allen town in five games has a grand total of 181. It has been the great defen sive play of the Tech team, that has placed it at the top, and upon which Coach Miller is depending to land the championship. Tech, Central and York, are the teams that have scored more points than have, been tallied against them. The other four teams have more tallies against them than they themselves have scored.
