Allen, - ex-heavyweight champion of America, died in St Louis. Allen was born in Birming- ham, England, in the April of 1840, and started his ring career at the age of 21. Before coming to America in 1867 he had taken part in many en- sagements, including a desperate drawn battle with Joe Goss. His first bout on (his side of the Atlantic was Bill Davis, the Californian who then claimed the title, Allen whipped him in 13 rounds at St Louis, and was recognized at Ameri- can champion. Allen was then whipped by Charlic Gallagher, of Cleveland,. and he was defrauded of victory in a bout with Mike McCoole and a subsequent contest with' Gallag- her.

PEACE BETWEEN FEDS AND INTERNATIONALS Gimure ad Barow Crculs May Come to Terms. That Ban Johnson's conference with Phil Ball of the St. Louis Feds in St. Louls Saturday was not the first ac- tion toward bringing about peace in the baseball war, was learned when it became known that a couple of weeks ago representatives of the In- ternational league approached the { AHOMETS followers in a few years conquered a vast empire. But, they refused to drink beer, — and look at them now! | lusing i Federal league with a plan for peace which would involve the:amalgama- tion of four International league clubs with the independent organization. the Tederal league regards that il fight with the International league is ax good as won, President Gilmore, it is stated, would not consider the proposal or any other such proposal except with the major leagues, It is said that the proposal of the International league representatives was that the two leagues amalgamate in Pittsburgh, Brooklyn, Newark and Baltimore. The ‘other four Interna- tional league clubs would then be the basis of a new International league. Class AA, circuit. The Tnternational league was hard hit by the Feds, and the Baltimore club was practically forced out of that city to Richmond Conditions in Buffalo were also alarm ing and it was only through the un- tiring efforts of President Barrow that the league was held together. TFrom: | the first, he has been opposed to any kind of surrender or peace plans with the Feds. Ready to Come to Terms, Some of the Towever, were as President Barrow was, and, after considerable money last sea- son, were ready to come to terms with the Federals rather than risk another disastrous season. After weeks of negotiations, President Barrow kept the league intaet, but nevertheless it was only recently that some of the league officlals decided to make an at- tempt to amalgamate with the Fed- erals. President Barrow’s position in the mattfer was that he would rather have the league close its gates for & year than desert organized baseball, He wag very emphatic in his stand on the matter, and in the end his judg- club owners, other ! \ger to fight | not so On the Alleys [CORFEYMAYBENEXT FACTORY LEAGUE.

The bad weath- er, the shortness of the training sea- son and the fact that the player limit ‘has been cut down to twenty-one play- ers,- will bring the Giants home early next week below the standard of phy- slcal preparedness they have shown in other years, N Both at the Giants'- camp at Mar- lin and at the Yankees' camp at Sa- vannah the weather conditions were little better than here in New Yotk during the month of March, Following the opinion expressed a few weeka ago by President Ban Johnson, there will be a general movement hereafter to curtai] training trips to two weeks or abolish them entirely, It is the opinion of many baseball men that the National league clubs thig season will be less efficient at the start of the season than they have been in former seasons. The player limit has been a big handicap to the managers, With so many candidates to pick from and with the bad weath- er conditions, it has been difficult to get a line on some of the youngsters and pick out the best ones. Future Stars Cast Adrift, Many of the managers now face the conditions that they will be forced to let young players go who are like- ly to bob up before the season {s over as stars with other clubs. The play- er limit is also causing much concern among the players. The reason for this is that a large number of extra wers are going to cut loose from y Jobs with major clubs. With the major league clubs forced to sign veterans to long-term contracts, man- agers are helpless to sead in young- sters who in their judgment may be better players than the old fellows. here are several Instances in the southern camps this spring where youngsters have shown much promise, but with a player limit and the old players under long-term contracts, managers have been unable to decide on retaining them, E The managers have realized one important thing as the result of the long-term contracts forced upon them by the Federal league last season, and that many of the veterans Joated along during the year and did not show the best that was in them. The Federal ' league is experiencing the very same condition. The manager is placed in a rather | perplexing position, Between now and May 1, when the National league clubs must cut down their player limit to twenty-one, the leaders will have to choose between a number of voungsters, all of whom appear to have an equal chance of making good. If @ manager permits a youngster to zot away, who afterwards makes good with nother club and retains a is, Allies Dreadnaug Submarines Zeppelins High High High 275.
