No Definite Action Is Taken but Under-graduates Believe That Meeting Isa Forerunner of Establishment of

Football

New York, Dec. 3.?Columbia's stu-dents put themselves on record yester-day in no uncertain terms for footballwhen 1,400 turned out for the massmeeting and cheered every mention offootball. There was general disappoint-ment that the promised surpri-*> wasnot an announcement thHt footbailwould be restored next fall, but the un-dergraduates feel confident that in theend they will succeed in bringing thesport back to the campus.

Ln a short address President Butiei.|skillfullyavoided a mention of foot-ball, but he stated that what the stu-;dents wantel and what the student'board wanted the university wanted.The students want football, and wantit badly, according to the enthusiasmat the meeting, but they propose togo about getting it with all due care iand tact.

New York, Dec. 3.?Joe Shugruemade good his promise to muss up Fred-

die Welsh at Madison Square Gardenlast night. He whipped Welsh inevery round but the second and tenth.Welsh managed to make them even.Th* lightweight champion never wasin the running and if Shugrue had hadmore of a sting to his punches he mighthave walked off with the title. Welshplainly was in bad form. He seemedstale and he was absolutely devoid ofspeed of any kind. Shugrue beat himto the punch, and except when thechampion jolted the Jersey boy's headback with left jabs, the only punchFred seemed able to land.

Gettysburg, Ha., Dec. 3.?'All doubtexisting as to the baseball fate of kid-

die Plank was dispelled yesterday aft-

ernoon when tilie great portsider affixedhis John Hancock to a Federal Leaguecontract. Although scouts of manyteams had visited the deposed Macktwirler, it was not until yesterday thatan agreement could be reachedany of tillem. Having an engagement

with Plank, Treasurer Goldman, of the

.Baltimore Feds, drifted into town yes-

terday morning to talk matters over.Closeted together most of the day, thetwo men discussed the situation fullya.nd when they parted Gettysburg s

Ibaseball idol had east his fortunes withtjhe new organization.

While officials of the Baltimore clu'b

secured Plank's signature, it is said thecontract did not call for his servicesto be given to that club, but that itwas a general contract, and he couldl>e sent to any team in their circuit.

?Local people believe, however, thatthere is an understanding between the

men and that Plank will play wit'heither \u25a0Chicago or St. Louis.

No information was given out concern-ingthe length specified in the contract,although it is generally regarded to be'a long-term contract at a good salary.Plank has repeatedly said lie did nothave to play ball, because his savingsof the years he has been with the Ath-letics are all that he needed.

Plank last night admitted he signedthe contract, but would not divulge theterms of tihe agreement or with whichclub he expected to be identified.

Shugrue was on top of his man eter-nally and made a show of Welsh atclose quarters. The Knglishman's ribswere ruddy from the continual thumpslanded there. Welsh seemed to sparehis right hand throughout, as if he lva lgone into the ring with it in poor shape.Neither man was oft' his feet. Therewas not a mark on Shugrue at the tinish, while a cut appeared over Welsh'sleft evebrow.

As the students filed into tile gym-nasium cards were handed to each ask-ing whether lie would go out for a var-sity football eleven next year if suchwere authorized and also whether hewould give $2 for the support of sucha team. The first question was answeredin the affirmative by ninety-five stu-dents weighing over 165 pounds andby -00 who weighed over 150 poupds.On th«v cards handed in 1,061! agreedto pay the fee. Many cards are vet tobe heard from.

Welsh left the ring quickly after thebout. He t'elt that h,. hail been beat-en bv the rushing little Jersey boy,jand besides, the gallery was riding!him hard for his indifferent showing.

When the matter is broughtup to their attention in the regularway by the Student Board they willthen rule on the proposal. The Stu-dent Board has no intention of press-ing any such proposals in the nearfuture for fear of being accused ofhasty and ill-advised measures.

Plan "has always been considered onti

of the greatest pit hers the game hasover known. He was born in Gettysburg.Pa., and was graduated at GettysburgCollege. He never played professional1>aseba 11 except as a nietnlber of the Ath-letics, having signed 'with Connie Mack?iii 1901. Plank and Harry Davis arethe only men still on the Athletics' listof players who were with the team inSts first year.

Plauk's record with the Athletics isa brilliaiut one. Each year the veteransouthpaw has done his share toward(keeping the Athletics in the race andilias always been a factor in winningpennants and world's championships forthe Macktneu. Plank pitched in eachworld's series the Athlrtivs engaged in,except in 1910, when Coombs and Ben-der did the twirling. His pitching wasone of the features of the 1913 series\u25a0with the Giants, and this year he lost:i l-to-0 game to the Braves on mis piaysin the ninth inning.

For the last two or three seasons'.Manager Mack has had trouble in get-ting Plank to sign a contract, anil short-ly after the dose of the world 's seriesof this year Eddie was placed on the?waiver list along with Bender and

< bombs. It is believed that Bender willalso sign with the Federals.

When Connie Mack was informedlast night that Plank had signed withthe Federals and was asked if lie wouldtry to prevent Eddie from quitting or-ganized baseball, Connie said: "No,imteed. Eduie is after the money, and

1 wish him all the luca in the w'orkl."

Printed ln San Francisco lnSlingsby Case

London, Dec. 3.?The Slingsby legiti-macy suit, by which Lieutenant C. B.Slingsby, formerly of the royal navy,now of San Francisco, is seeking to es-tablish the legitimacy of a child whichhe claims as his own in order that thechild may inherit an Knglish estate,was begun yesterday in the probatecourt.

Lieuenant Slingsby retold the cir-cumstances of his marriage, to whichhis relatives objected because his wifewas A Catholic.' He testified to re-ceiving a cablegram from his wife, whohad gone to San Francisco so as to beamong her own people, announcing thata son had been born. The point wasraised that the birth certificate gave awrong 'birthplace, naming it as Grantavenue, but this was nltered subse-quently by affidavit to MacAllisterstreet, San Francisco.

Counsel admitted that when Mrs.Slingsby reached Star Francisco it wasdoubtful whether the baby would beborn alive or dead and that an adver-tisement seeking a child for adoptionwas inserted in a newspaper. The hear-ing was adjourned.

Lieutenant Slingsb.v inherited anEnglish estate for himself and by thewill of the Rev. Charles Slingsbv anadditional estate of $500,000 was togo to Lieutenant Sli.ngsby's heir.

Mrs. Slingsiby, wife of the Lieuten-ant, gave birth to a child in San Fran-cisco in 1910. Testimony was takenbefore the District Attorney of SanFrancisco on a charge of false certifica-tion of hirth. and testimony was givento the effect that Mrs. Slingsby's childhad died and that another child hadbeen substituted by a San Franciscophysician. The Lieutenant anil his wifelater went to England to establish thelegitimacy of the child which theyclaimed as their own.

NO 'l6-INCH HUNS FOR NAVY |Admiral Strauss Tells House Committee

14-inch Ones Are BetterWashington, Dec. 3.?The Navy DP- j

pertinent is not ready to install 16-inch 'guns on battleships, according to testi- Imonv given before the House Commit- jtee on Naval Affairs yesterday by Rear;Admiral Strauss, Chief of the Bureau -of Ordnance.

Hear Admiral Strauss expressed the !opinion that 14-inch guns had reached jsuch a high degree of efficiency that jnothing would be gained rn effective- Jness by discarding them for guns of 16-)inch calibre.

The committee was impressed with !Rear Admiral Strauss' testimony rela- jtive to the effectiveness of 14 and 16-inch guns in view of the reports that Ihad been received of the deadly execu jtion done by the 42-centimeter guns |used against the fortifications in Prance ,anil Belgium by Germany.

Th impression seems to be quite gen-eral among members of the House com-!mittee that 14-inch guns represent themaximum of armament of this classthat should be installed on battleships,at least for the present.

NIAGARA FALLS WILL BE DRV

Peculiar Pebble Found by ScientistLeads Him to Prophesy

Pittsburgh, Dec. 3.?A pebble foundin Beaver county caused Dr. A. K. Ort-mann, scientist of Carnegie Museum,to predict yesterday that a thousandyears from now Niagara Fails will bedry. The pebble in shape resemblesa small beetle.

The odd little stone led Dr. Ort-mann to consider the "oscillations" ufthe earth's surface.

The "oscillations" led him to a par-ticular "oscillation," which, he said,is raising the northeast end of LakeErie and sending its water to the south-west instead of toward Niagara Falls.The ultimate deduction?the drying upof the great waterfall ?is scientificallysimple, he declared.

As a result [<ake Eric will emptythrough the Miami river instead of theNiagara.
