The atatement published tlila

laatlon committee had determined
upon eleven banka and had designat
ed certain cltlea an headquarters for

committee haa reached no conclusion
whatever on tula subject In order that
tte country may be prepared for a
ricru letfkcence of such statements
"V desire to say that any statements
ei -porting to give the views or opin

nouncement are wholly unauthorized
and absolutely speculative.”
Premature.
Washington—The fight for a region
al reserve hank for Atlanta has been
won, says a special to The Constitu
tion.
From authoritative sources It Is
learned that eleven cities have been
agreed upon by the federal reserve
organization committee, composed of
Secretary McAdoo, Secretary Houston
and Comptroller of the Currency Wil
liams. The cities which will enjoy Hie
vast commercial prestige of being cen
ters of the new financial and currency
system of the United States are: New
York, Boston. Philadelphia, Richmond,
Atlanta, Dallas. Chicago, St. l.ouis,
Cincinnati, Mlnenapolls and San Fran
cisco. The only surprising feature of
this authentic list is the Inclusion of
Richmond along with Atlanta, and of
Dallas, Texas, in place of New Or
leans.
Included In the Atlanta reserve
bank territory will be the states of
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississip
pi. Tennessee and possibly South Car
olina.
The contribution of 10 per cent of
the banking capital and surplus of the
member banks in this territory will
give the Atlanta bank a capital of $6,-
000,000, or B 0 per cent more than the
minimum capital required.
By March 9th.
Washington.—Under a decision of
the reserve bank organization commit
tee all information designed to at
feel the definition of federal reserve
districts or the location of reserve
bank cities must be received at the
Treasury Department by March 9.
> Although the committee has dis
cussed the, location of reserve cities
since its trip through the country
ended here Feb. 18. it was decided tliht
aadditional data s hould lie considered
if filed before next Monday.
Beginning Tuesday the task of mak
ing the selection will be taken up in
earnest and it is understood will lie
completed in time to allow President
Wilson to name the members of the
federal reserve board before April 1.

BID GOLF MATCH
AT FINAL HOUND
Event of Seaton Being Fought
Out Between Welter and
McCall For Bon Air Oup.
The seini-flnal round In the match
for the Hun Air Uups was played off
yesterday anil the contest has now
narrowed down to two men In each
Slxt on. In the first sixteen Messrs.
Welter anil McCall are left to fight It
out this afternoon. Welter won his
place by d'frntlng Suppler yesterday,
five up and three to play. McCall beat
Brown by the acore of one up. These
two are now, of course, the center of
Interest at the Club and their inateli
today will lie followed by a I arge
crowd.
McCall’s handicap Is 1? and Welter's,
9, so that the latter will have to give
Ills advi rsary three strokes. Both gen
tlemen Hre sure of a cup, whichever
wins today. Thai for the "runner-up"
Is almost as handsome Hint only slight
ly smaller than the tdg Bon Air Cup
Itself. Of course the first sixteen Is
the real event —the cups for the other
sixteens being more Iti the nature of
consolation prizes. ,
A lot of Interest hinges on the out
come of the other matches as well,
however, and the cups are very sump
tuous affairs. They are all similar to
the big cup and not as much smaller
as one would expect. They are ten In
all, a winner and runner-up for each
of the five sixteens, and the table in
the Bon Air lobby on which they are
displayed is a fine sight.
Thg Second Sixteen.
Kingsley, who beat Feuchtwanger
yesterday, 2 up. will meet nushnell,
who beat Hardy, 8 and ».
The Third Sixteen.
Bennett, who beat Knight yesterday,
2 up, will meet Kelley, who beat Breed,
6 and B.
The Fourth Sixteen.
C. C. Worthington, who beat Pear
son yesterday, 1 up, will meet Weath

po. secretary of state and foreign af
fairs of Mexico, and shortly afterwards
transmitted to the senate by Presi

confusion incident to the outbreak of
the civil war.
Senate Warned.
Minister McLane warned that if the
senate failed to ratify the treaty fur
ther : narchy would rxiut in Mexico,
necessitating intervention. He said:
"I am persuaded that if the United
Htates declines the responsibility Im
posed upon It by the adoption and rat
ification of this .convention further
anarchy will prevail in Mexico, until
it will be terminated by direct inter
vention from some quarter in the fed

sudden and unforeseen provocation
that will expose us to the responsi

The fact that this convention was
drawn up so long ago and never rati

becoming effective now.

let cat on the money.
Profiting Investment.
The Information os to these I mores
corned from Hairy Aokerland of I’ltts
fcurg, minority stockholder In the club
who purchased Frank Chance's ten
shared of stock when the latter was
taken ftvm the nuiioigcrdhlp oftie team
a year ago this winter. Chance sold
to Ackerland for $40,000, or at the lid sis
of only 94,000 a share mere nve too
dilutes altogether although the average
value of one share now Is aducased at
slo,(*d>, Chance told Ackerland of Ills
experiment in a money way with the
chit). Altogether, In the eight years
he led the club, he collected a total of
1*9,000 as dividends from hid stock, aside
from the salary he received from tiw
club.
Chance a total earnings on ten per
cent being S*K,OO, the total earnlnga of
the club weVe mxo.ooo tn those eight
years. This Is an average of 996,000 a
year. Rut It must be rente mhtfcd that
the hulk of this w»ia collected in tha
latter half of the period, that Hi© gams
had become a bigger money proposition
and la dttll growing In a general way
all over the country. HtIII another im
portant fact id that, when the Cubs
played lit the world's aeries of 1909, ,1907
and 190 S, they bad only a small grand
stand that would not hold within ten
thousand of what the new one will ac
commodate.
Blggar Money Propoatlon.
The 1906 series whs n bigger money
proposition than either of the two that
followed immedlstely, but this was be
cause of two paramount reasons- this
serhs went to it tie and then to an ex
tra game, and the White Hlx were the
opponents, so that a tremendous amount
of local rivalry entered into the Hit na
tion. The two cluba split up $62,493.30
then. In 1907 and 1908 the receipts
also were kept low by the fact that I De
troit waa iho opposing dub and the Tlg
<Vh had a very small park which, though
jammed to the guards, would not ad
mit of any record breaking attendance
fig urea. In 1907 the two clubs split
$36,<22.29, in 1908 $39,362.03. Compare
these figures with the amount divided
In 1910, when the Cuba played tha Ath
letics. It was $77,510.07. lint of course
these numbers do not compare with
those of the (iWinta-Hed Box series of
1911!. when the record was set at $293,-
631.92, to be dividend by the clubs, ex
i luaive of players’ and national commis
sion aim res lint lhe Cubs now have an
even larger park, and the next time
they get In a world's aeries. It will be
possible for them to more than double
their former world’s series returns.
Future Investment.
Several other facts must he taken Into
consideration In computing how much
better i.ie Cubs are llkejy to he ns an
Investment in future. It must he re
membered that ChaVles W. Murphy, the
last owner of the dub, was Immensely
unpopular In Chicago, so much so that
the fans nt times even circulated boy
cott petitions against his club. Yet
they did collect large portion* of coin
of the realm at that. What, then, will
be the result If a poular administration
should get In?
Probably no other club In baseball haa
had such a distinguished line of preal
dents aa the Chicago Nationals tills re
mark of course doesn't include Murphy—
during the tbiYty-elght years of the
club’s life. It was a charter member
of the National League In 1876, with
William A. Halbert as president* Mor
gan d. HulkJey, later governor of and
senator fromT'onnectlcut, was the origi
nal president of the league. When
retires In the followolng year. 1877, Hal
bert became head of the elVcult, serving
ns president both of league and of club
until he died In 18m|. That Is the only
case in history where a club president
also line headed the league. Then In
