Come tidings today that the club has received five contracts from sterling athletes, who round out the Brooklyn roster of regulars, or prospective regulars, and leive nothing left but the vulgar financial details of buying the tickets for Augusta, where the Superbas will train next spring. The contracts received this day and date were from Don CarloB Tatrlck Kagan, right-handed pitcher and right good fellow, for three years; Raleigh Altchison, left-handed pitcher taken over from Newark last August, but refused to report because he would not accept a provisional, 45-contract, who has signed for one year; Charles D.

Stengel, center fielder and swatter of renown and the very best deliveries, for one year; Oliver O'Mara, right-handed throwing and batting shortstop, drafted from Fort Wayne, for one year; Joe Riggert, right-handed outfielder, drafted from St. Paul, for one year. Prior to the receipt of today's Instalment of contracts, the club had signed, or had terms accepted, by Zach D. Wheat, left fielder, whose document arrived this morning; G.

Now that he has the option and the said architect all that remains Is for him to have a league to enter next year. President Ehbets was not in Brooklyn today to heed the warning to have a care, but the McKeever brothers were on duty at Ebbets Field and declined baseball cares with thanks.

All that is bothering them is the possibility that the menhaden may refuse to run next season as they did last and put their fish factory at Egg Harbor, N. out of business for the season of 191 1. Will Ebbets Cro" After Tinker? Morning contemporaries have an Idea that President Ebbets wll make an effort on his present Western trip to bring Into the Brooklyn fold the avauntlng Joseph Burt Tinker. Maybe he will and maybe he wont. The impression among the fans is that Tinker would cost more than he would be worth, and If he were obtained he would hardly have the heart in hie work ho would have had ir he had not made his flop to the Federal League.

tain one. The recent shortage and business depression evidently was felt in scholastic circles as well as business, for never before has so few scholarships been awarded. The athletes Just mentioned were all very capable In their studies and In any other year the creditable work would have received ample reward, but this year proved to be their nemesis. Bradlsh's resignation has been received with chagrin, for his ability as a catcher was well known end be was expected to bolster up what looks to be a very weak battery department. Although not a member of this year's football team Bradlsh was picked for the all-class team and showed ability In the Inter-class Berlcs that presaged his making a strong bid for varBity honors next year.

Paul Horgan, the crack Buff and Blue plunger, went down to defeat for the first time In the plunge for distance, He finished in third place with a mark of 53 feet, which Is more than ten feet short of his best performances.

Peterson's resignation may materialise tomorrow as he has now been under suspension a week, but it Is hoped that matters may be arranged by which he may become reinstated.

Peterson came to Exeter with an enviable honor role and in time tryouts he has clocked In close to record without pace or training. Campbell was a star on this year's football team, playing as sub to Enwrlgbt and Qulgley.

AIko, If Tinker has really signed a hard and fast Federal contract after Jumplpng the reserve which "organized baseball" claims is binding but which the "outlaws" claim is not binding, getting Tinker to sign a Brooklyn contract would precipitate about ninety-seven lawsuits that would not be finished for the next hundred years. Tinker, as a member ol the Brooklyn team, would be as full of potential trouble to "organized baseball" as he would In the Federal ranks, and the fames does not appeur to be worth the candle. Major System May Smash.

You can put this in your pipe and smoke it: If there is any truth in the yarn that the International League Is to be raised to the rank of a major league to offset the udvance of the Federals, then the American Association Is going Chicago, January 16 No announcement of players signed for the 1911 season will be made by the Chicago National League baseball cluh, until the team reports at Tampa, for Spring practice. By withholding names of players already under contract and those not yet signed, Charles W. Murphy, president of the Cubs today said he hoped to confuse the Federal League and prevent it from getting prospective Cub players. Should the signed players be named, elimination would Indicate those still eligible to be signed by the Federals. KINSELLA IS PUNISHED.

Jersles Are Confusing to Flayers. Something should be done regarding the jersles worn by the various teams In the Amateur League. In the contest last night, both St. Nicholas and the Irish-American Athletic Club wore green. The Kris Kringle experts have worn the colors for years, and, of course, an Irish team would not be happy with any other Still It is hard ou both player and official.

The same thing was noticed In the Wnnderers-Hockey Club struggle. The former aggregation has taken new colors this winter that are somewhat similar to those worn by the champions. It Is noticed more In the stockings than In the jersles. schools ou the court of the Lafayette Avenue institution yesterday by a scoro of 24 to 14. The contest was hard-fought throughout and It was not until the final minutes of play that the Blue and Gray youngsters assumed a commanding lead.

At the end of the first half Poly was In front by the close margin of 11 to 10, but In the second session the Livingston street students displayed an exhibition of team-work and fast passing which swopt the Adelphl players off their feet. Mendee and Hyatt were very conspicuous In Poly's victory, while Dobbin did the best work for Adelphl. The llno-up: "Ty" Tyler, former Medford end, and "Bill" Waterhouse, formerly of Mercers-burg, are two other athletes whose fate will 'be determined this week. Besides the foregoing some live or six less promising men are In financial straits, making the largest list of this kind in recent-years. Efforts are being msde by the student body to aid the most needy and It Is hoped that no more promising material will be lost.
