DOWD, Jr. PUR Y EXPEL QUARD FROM PLAY ERS9 FRi STEW JUNIORS CHAIV PIOHS IT TRINITY By Associated Press. New York, Dec. 5. The announce ment yesterday that "Rube" Marquard, the New York National pitcher, had signed to pitch next season with the Brooklyn Federals brought a statement last nieht from David Fultz that if it svere true Marquard would be expelled from the players' fraternity, of which Fultz is president. Fultz's statement reads: "Information has reached me that 'Rube' Marquard, in spite of the fact that he is under a binding contract with the New York National League club for the season of 1915, has sign ed with the Brooklyn Federals. The report is hard to believe, as I feel that the Brooklyn would not knowingly sign a player under these circum stances. "If Marquard has done this, he un questionably will be expelled from the Baseball Players' Fraternity, as the directors will not countenance any such disregard of their obligations by its members."

Huntersville's newly-converted foot ball enthusiasts are bubbling over with interest as the time for the game approaches. The game was scheduled for Satur day, December 5, but on account of Jupiter Pluvius' abundant weeping, the Sprunt Athletic Field at David son, where the game is to be staged, is one vast mudhole, and therefore the game is postponed 'till Monday, at 3 p. m. The postponement of the game is much regretted by the local enthusiasts because practically all of them had arranged to attend, the game. A large number of the high school students had arranged to make the trip in wagons. They will regret the postponement because the possibility of their attendance on Monday regular school day is less. It is a safe : bet, however, that there will be a meager attendance at the Huntersville high school Monday afternoon. The Huntersville team is confident of victory, though not over-confident.' It realizes the strength of its op ponent and is going to Davidson ex pecting a hard Cght. Those who wit ness the game will see two well-trained teams fight a battle to the finish.

Chicago, Dec. 5. A full blooded Chinese baseball player has been sign ed by the Chicago club of the Ameri can League, it was announced today. He is Lai Tin, captain of the Honolulu Chinese' team. Manager Callahan of the local club said Tin had been or dered to report for practice when the training season opens at Paso Robles, Calif., in February. Charges of violation of the game laws are being rumored on the street, and in some instances there is consid erable indignation expressed relative to the condition which is alleged to pre vail. A local sportsman discussing this condition with a representative of The News today made the following state ment: "One thousand birds- quail on toast. This sounds big. It is reported that one po hunter has been offered 30 cents apiece for 1,000 quail! This sounds like it is time for some legislation on the sale of birds in this county, like other counties have. "It is said that the thousand birds will be furnished as a result of the demand. The man to whom the offer is said to be made s not a land own er. He trains dogs sometimes. His specialty is the sale of birds during the open season, so it is reported. "Unless the sale of quail is prohibit ed in this county, it will be but a short while until there will not be a covey of birds in the county, at the rate of a thousand birds in a buch. "Think of a thousand birds from the lands of the farmers in this county at the rate of 30 cents apiece; This is $300. This is pretty employment for one man if he can deliver the goods. The party making this statement says he will get the birds. "These 1,000 quail must be killed in 20 days. This is at the rate of 50 birds a day. The law only allows one person -to kill 15 birds in one day. The law does not allow any one to hunt on the lands of another except with written permission. Then how is this man to get 1,000. birds, except he vio late both provisions of the bird law. "Why don't our officers enforce the ' law as it is written? What is the use to have a law on the books? Why not repeal the . whole thing if we are not I enins- tn pnfnrr.p what. w have? TJn- '. less the sale of birds is prohibited in the county, only the law breakers will hunt birds and trespass and take birds unlawfully and sell them. It is time for the people of the county to wake up and protect their game, what little is left." McCoy Shades Wagner. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Dec. 5. "Al" Mc Coy, of New York, shaded "Kid."

The work was done. by Messrs. Scott & McCullough, and is said to be unusually complete and explicit. The audit will go to the board of al dermen at its regular monthly-meeting Monday night at which time the find ings of the auditors will become pub lic property. The audit is addressed to the mayor of the city and today in company with the gentlemen who did the work Dr. Bland went over the docu ment at the city hall, for the purpose of acquainting himself with the details of their findings so that he may dis cuss its provisions intelligently when the matter is laid before the board Monday night. u The auditors declared today that the audit is in the hands of the mayor and that it should go to the board of aldermen before its provisions become known to the general public and for that reason no detailed information was given out. "We have gone into every depart ment and transaction of the city gov ernment for the past year," said Mr: Scott this morning, "and when this audit goes to the board of aldermen Mondav night I am of the opinion that they will have complete and com prehensive record of the financial af fairs of the city of Charlotte." Beyond this statemet he would say nothing. At the office of the mayor Dr. Bland stated that the audit had been re ceived and that he was going over it preparatory to laying it before the obard Moday night "The report of the auditors should come to the public through the board of aldermen and not from the mayor," he said, and for that reason 'the findings of the .auditors were not given out today. In fact, the board of alderme is the proper forum before which, the docu ment should come to be accepted by the-city, says the mayor, and there fore nothing concerning the audit it self will be given out until the meet ing Monday night.
