EW YORK, December 8—Sweeping victory for John Conway Toole, president of the International League for the past five years, was recorded in the annual meeting of the circuit here yesterday, when he gained another five-year term and an annual increase of $2,000 in sal- ary by a vote of seven to one. Sam Robertson of Buffalo declined to make the election unanimous. # The International's gathering opened the way to the major league sessions, the National today and the American tomorrow, to be followed by a joint meeting on Thursday. The Eastern League meets here in spe- cial session today. Toole's reelection was the main business for the International, it hav- ing been rumored that the major ieagues were out to oust him for his stand on the draft. There were two votes against him on the first ballot, but one relented later. Transfer of the Providence franchise to Reading was approved and the schedule meeting was fixed for To- onto in February, with Jack Dunn of ness manager of the Scranton club.

The lively ball is responsible for this. he entrance of I the lively ball caused batsmen to swing instead of chop and the result has been plenty of iree hitting and little place hitting.

Foster: CHAPTER IL EFORE the National Association of Professional Base Ball Leagues was formed the lot of the minor cifcuits was as unhappy as that of the hermit crab which is marooned under a bowl with no- where to go. % Now the national association, about to celebrate its quarter century of existence, has a respected integrity of its own and has come to be onc of the powers of base ball. It is really more of a power than it imagines tself to be, although it will always be dominated by superiority of popu- lation, and in the particular case of the minor league superiority of popu- | too heavy and unwieldy. They would | never have fitted into the scientific batting of 30 years ago. I never say a player who did not like to bat. They tell of Pete Brown- ing, who used to play with Louisville. The only thing that mattered to Pete his batting average. You could | ask Pete after any game what the core was and his answer would be, I don't know, but I got three,” or whatever number of hits he happened to make that afternoon. He used to walk on the field smoking a cigarette and looking up into the sun. The combination, he claimed, helped his batting eye. Pete was a free hitter and a good one, but all he ever cared about was his hitting. For this Pete is not so remarkable. There, are any number of Pete Brownings in the major leagues today. The only thing they ever worry about is their batting aver- ages. Because of this they are known professionally as ‘‘average” players. ‘As long as they get their hits they don’t care what happens to the team. Divided Into Groups. In selecting the leading batsmen T have divided them into three groups. One group represents the leaders at foot ball coaches have put their men in especially fine fettle for hard games Forced to go hungry for some time previous to a contest, they are given a substantial meal a few hours before their battle and thereafter are raring to go, both mentally and physically. But Frederick Hoelzel had other ob- jects for his 41-day fast. By going this length of time without eating he established a record never before equaled by a scientist and seldom passed by hunger strikers. At the same time he afforded physiologists a particularly fine study. His physical condition after the period of starvation was found to be £ood, although he had lost between 30 and 40 pounds. Specialists in the study of digestive processes were en- abled to make important findings on the relatipn of hunger to the organs of digestion. These have not been announced as yet. Hoelzel has fasted almost 350 days during the last few years, during wzlch he has offered himself as a sub- ject for experiment in stomach physi- ology. Previous to his record-break- ing $1-day fast just completed, he re- cently went without food 31 days. It was during that fast that the relation of hunger to mental activity was es- fation means the big league circuits. The American League declared its right to put a baseball club in Chi- cago in 1800. Prior tq that time the American League had been the West- ern League without pretense to being a major league. It was one of the unhappy minor band continually fighting a wearisome existence against the encroachments of the majors, magnates and the sharp practices of its own tribe. Unable to Agree. This ambitious minor circuit knew that the American League wanted to expand. It failed to come to terms with the chesty National League for abandoned franchises of the Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia clubs. The National gave the American League folks the cold shoulder, feel- Ing certain that the American would collapse the moment that it tried to load itself with Baltimore and Wash- ington, which had become cities quite under the ban of the National because their clubs had been poorly supported in both, and because they thought the American League was only an up- start. In Philadelphia the National League magnates felt certain the American would make no headway, although they counted without their host thers. They depended too much upon the influence of Col. John I. Rogers, which, in the long run, proved to be ive. inding that the National League would not surrender right to a terri- for which it had no real use, ause it had no intent to operate clubs in that territory, the American League threw down the gauntlet and not only went into Washington, Baltt more and Philadelphia, but carried the fight into Boston. The latter move stung the National through a hide th: 1 verv_thick bv beine ASH Conveniently Located on Fourteenth Street Hawkins Nash Motor Co. Sales and Service accustomed to having things its own way Naturally, when the American League decided ta expand it was es- sentlal that it should have ball players to go with the clubs that it was about to organize. These players could not be obtained from the minor leagues because the latter were in alliance with the National League and were protected. Indeed, that was all the protection the minors had, as they soon found out. American Withdraws. So the American League withdrew from the National agreement after its owners had consulted. Then there was panic. The National was not terrified, but the minors were, for they found themselves caught between two fires. The National, with the stub- born relentlessness with which they fought all their battles, said little in public but in private they got ready for a fight. They stili held the "American League too cheaply. When the American League with- drew from the old National agreement which meant, of course, that it would take players where it willed, whether they belonged to the minors or to the National League, the latter organi- zation countered at once by declaring the national agreement to be a non est proposition and so all ball players were rid of restraint of agreement from one end of the general baseball organization to the other.

NEW YORK, December Glick, the latest boxer to I fame overnight, w to prove nst Honeyboy Sometimes such bouts as Glick pulled are flashes, as witness of which remember Joey Celmars, who was picked out of a line-up as an opponent for Babe Herman. Joey pasted Her- man right merrily, and while he got £ome good boosts on the hasis of his showing he never lived up to it. As for Glick, friends of the Brooklyn boy say he is as far away from a faise alarm as is a signal for a warehouse fire. He started out fighting in the armories and won the featherweight championship of the New York Na- tional Guard. Then Glick broke into the smaller fight clubs and went very well until, getting ambitious, he forsook his class for a time and did not look so good. But he took all that came with good grace, and awaited his chance to prove that his experfence in meeting all sorts and all weights had done him good. Down came Finnegan on his shoulder after winning award over Babe Herman. a slnp on the button. But instead of turning the other cheek he clouted Honeyboy so hard that' the resin lovked just like home to him. Glick got by to a decision that met with general approval.
