Lee Fohl, coach of the team and former manager of Somers’ Waterbury team in the defunct Eastern assoclation is acting as temporary manager.

ROURKE’S MEN MAKE CLEAN SWEEP OF ’15 Chicago Colgate College Track Team Beats All - Opponents This Year and Wins State Championship. Friends of ‘‘Jack” Rourke of this city are elated over the success of the track team at ~'Colgate college of which he {s trainer. The team has made a wonderful record ‘this season and much of the success can be es- cribed to the clever handling of the athletes by Rourke. The crowning event of the year oc- | curred Saturday when Colgate won the intercollegiate championship of New York state, smothering all op- ponents. The scores wers Colgate, 65 1-2; Union college, 45 1-2; Hamil- ton college, 18; Rochester university, 8; Bt. Lawrence college, 6. Colgate has ot lost a meet this sea- son. On tracks and fleld it has ex-’ celled, defeating all comers. "In ad- dition Rourke's men havé hung up several colleginte records:for the state .Boston ican ‘leagué season and only falling back to third in th last week of the season. Where Birmingham’s 1913 showisg was an agreeable surprise, his team put over a very different surprise in 1914. In place of a pen- nant contender the Naps were a poor last all season and played listless, un- interesting ball, It was generally thought that Birmingham would be released last winter, but he was re- tained. This year the club did much better ‘and, in fact, surpassed expec- tations. Birmingham says he has no immediate plans for the future. He has been playing for the Cleveland club since 1906, when he came to the Indians after making a big reputa- tion while playing for Cornell univer- sity. and in the 100 yard dash Saturday Rourke sent one of his fliers over the gourse for a new mark. NEW ENGLAND LEAGUE POCKETBOOK IS FLAT Average Attendance at Games Oaly 300---Circult May Blow Up. Just how long the New England league will be able to stand up under its present financial strain is a matter of speeculation. ' To date the average attendancé at games has been about 300, This means that about $75 has beeu taken in, which is not enough to pay expenses. It is not probable that the club owners will continue losing {f business does not pick up shortly, and it is likely that the league magnates in general would rather close up shop than drop a bBunch of change. The situation in the circuit is crit- ical. The only remedy that will help the league out of its present plight is the support of the fans. If they fail to turn out in goodly numbers shortly there will ‘be a slight flash, followed by &n explosion. Bvery effort within the bounds of theé club owners will be made now to keep the bdadly faltering league to- @ether, for if it shodld quit it would mean that the fléld would be open for the Tederal cirouit. . The Feds, no doubt, are watching the movements of the best citiss in the New England league ‘closely. X "1t ‘anything bjéaks and the. league &0es ufider it ls' most likely that Worcester, .Lynn, Lowell and Law- rence would be grabbed by the Co- lonial circuit, and teams represented in the smaller cities of the Wards’ league would be transferred.

Carney was considered Ly many fans to be have been the best man of hig weight in the world. In 1887 he came to America and fought Jack McAuliffe for the world's light- weight title at Revere, Mass. He gave | Willlamsburg Jack a terfific drubbing for 74 rounds, when the ring was in- ve.ded by men who had wagered their coin on the Irish-American. Carney kad the best of it at the time of the interference, gnd the crowd cheated bim out of his victory. Dick Burge hadn’t made much of a reputation up te the time he whipped Carney. He held on to the title untn 1896, when ¥id Lavigne, the cherubic little Frenchman, fought Burge in London end knocked him out in the 17th roqnd. Burge was then a middleweight but the “Saginaw Kid” proved to be his master after a hard combnat, Burge is now a boxing promoter in London. 1886—Harry Brewer, German- American welterweight boxer, born iz Chicago, 1890—Jack White (John Ancho- witz,) Hebrew boxer, born in Liver- pool, Eng. s Increase Lead in National Leagu JACOBSON'S BAT 1§ ASSET 10 BROCKTON Local - Boy Makes Three Swats; His Ciub Wins in Teath.
