Albany, N. Y, Jan. 30.—The de- fense that he was the victim of a “frame up” was made yesterday by Frederick A. Wenck, chairman of the state’ athletic commission, at a pub- lic hearing of charges of attempted extortion preferred against him by three New York boxing bout promo- ters. The hearing, which.was begun before Franklin B. Lord, a special commissioner appointed by Governor Whitman, was adjourned last night with Mr. Wenck's testimohy not con- cluded. Sessions were resumed this morning. The promoters, Harry M. Pollok, who was one of the state’s witnesses in the Rosenthal murder case in New York; Patrick T. Powers and John J. White, all were present, but only Mr. Pollok and Mr. Powers tes- tifled for the complainants. Mr. Pol- lok was the principal witness. KRITCHELL WITH HUSTLERS.

EASTERN LEAGUE MEETING Magnates Said to Still Favor Reten- tion of Lawrence in Circuit With Picper at Helm. Hartford, Jan. 30.—It is‘said that the Eastern league has decided to keep Lawrence in the circuit for next season, and that Louls Pieper will be manager. After locking over the situation the magnates have come to the conclusion that Lawrence is a Dbetter city than Lynn, and have de- cided to drop the Shoe city. With Portland in the league this will leave a circuit composed of Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford, Springfield, Worcester, New London, Portland and Lawrence. It is not an ideal cir- cuit by any means but it wouldn’t be half bad if the magnates could ar- range for the transfer of the Port- land club to some Massachusetts city. Old-time baseball men say Law- rence is a good baseball town if things are properly conducted. Pie- per managed a club there two years ago and won a pennant, so he is very populdr. It -would probably need something like that to awaken inter- est in the pastime. The league meets in Worcester today and the sale of the Portland club from Hugh Duffy to Hiram Abrams will probably be ratified. DAVE ROBERTSON A HOLDOUT. Returns Contract and Asks for Substantial Increase in Salary. a Norfolk, Va., Jan. 30.—Dave Rob- ertson, the fleet footed and hard hit- ting outfielder of the Giants, has re- turned his contract unsigned to Presi- dent Harry N, Hempstead of the New York National league club and is em- phatic in his declaration he will stick with the plavers’ fraternity.

Fe says that even if the New Yorlk club meets his terms immediately he will not sign until President Fultz of the Answbr: We fail to conceive it as such. GETS JOB BACK.

(New York Tribune). Joie Ray Kept Faith With His Athletic Coach New York, Jan. 30.—Athletic ex- perts are still talking about the per- formances of Joie Ray, the chesty little sprinter from Chicago, who did just as his coach, John Mahan, said he would at the Millrose Atliletic as- sociation carnival in the Madison Square Garden recently. He made some’ athletic history. In winning the mile and a half race for the Rodman ‘Wanamaker trophy. Ray ran the fastest race at that distance ever credited to a human being. In run- ning the heart out of Johnny Over- ton, the Yale distancer, Ray covered the distance in 6 minutes 45 seconds, which is'1 2-5 seconds faster than the world’s record now on the books of the Amateur Athletic union to the credit of the late Tommy Conneff. Ray’s wonderful running completely overshadowed everything else at the Millrose meet, even the sensational double victory of Bob Simpson of Missouri university in the two hurdle races. 1t was not only the time that Ray made, but as well the apparent. y ease with which he did it. Joie ran the same kind of a race that Georgie Bophag use to in his championship days. He took the lead at the start and went along about his business, not caring a whoop what happened behind him. Mahan had a schedule worked " out for his wonderful little runner that he knew would land a new record. Ray ran to that schedule with not a thought about the other runners in the race.

Folwell, football coach at the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, has been de- posed as head of the staff. No longer is he affiliated with athletics in any capacity at the Red and Blue univer- city. This announcement is official, having as its authority Dr. Arthur W, Goodspeed, head of the faculty com- mittee on athletics. The dethroning of the man who generally is recognized as having re- stored winning football at Penn was not due to any salary grievance, as has been announced. According to Dr. Goodspeed, Fol- well was not re-engaged because he did little character bulilding for the University of Pennsylvania boys even if he did put the Red and Blue back -on the football map. Folwell was the choice of the directors of the athletic association and the popular candidate for re-election of many of the students and alumni, yet his qualifications would not pass the faculty committee, The re-engaging of Folwell has been the main topic in athletic circles at. the university since the return of the Red and Blue team from its trip to Pasadena, Cal,, where it lost the New Year's Day game to the University of Oregon. Secret meetings were held almost daily by the football committee and other athletic solons. At the first Folwell, it is said, the faculty com- mittee suggested that his name be eliminated for various reasons, which they did not care to discuss. It was argued that Folwell's' contract had expired, and he was not to be recon- sidered under any conditions. De- spite this suggestlon, it is admitted the name on the list of _coaches from which the next mentor of the gridiron would be chosen, hut when presented ta the faculty committee, Folwell's name was stricken from the list. Folwell was indignant when he learned of the faculty committee’s, at- & titude, and declared that he would “fight the matter to a finish.” sald, “that the faculty commiftee was' opposed to re-engaging me as coach, but felt that in some way the matter could be adjusted. Now that they have 2een fit to make their repudia- fight the matter to a finish. “Dr. Goodspeed says I am not ac- ceptable. Why? I challenge any man_ in the world to prove that my actions during the last season have reflected on the University of Pennsylvania in any way. If Penn is through with | me, T am through-with football. but T am not going to quit under fire.” He declared that the recent Call- fornia trip of the Pennsylvania team was more of a “lark” for the men than anything else, and said he is sorry now that he took the trip, £ INDORSE REDUCTION, Carnell, Columbia. and Pennsylvania Come Out for Threc Mile Course. % “I have known for some time,” he tion of my name public I am going to § gathering to discuss the eligibility of, . football committee included Folwell’s » 4 4 Philadelphia, Jan. 30.—The rowing@ coaches of Cornell, Columbia Penhsylvania indorsed the 'proproned~ reduction in the distance of the 'var-y from four miles to three at a confer- ence held here yesterday.
