A Golfer’s Family Leads a Hard Life - -— Vo, Copyrighted 1917 EXAMS CRIPPLE TEAM Mubhlenberg Colleg Athletic Organiza- tions Lose Star Players Through Failure in Studics. William Dudack of this city, who is matriculating at the Muhlenberg college in Allentown, Pa,, in a letter to a local friend, tells of the havoc that has been wrought in the basketball, baseball and football teams at the college through the mid-year exami- nations which have just closed. The football eleven for next season will be minus the services of two ends, two guards and a sub backfield candidate including Captain Gaston, De Losier, Daly and Taylor. Nothing has been done as yet regarding a foatball cap- tain. | Through the loss of several players, the basketball team has dis- banded. Dudack will be one of the candi- dates for the baseball team which will go out shortly for spring practice. The nine will be minus the services of ‘Wilson, the star catcher, who was ance a member of Connie Mack’s Athletics. With such a strong backstop, Dudack had looked" forward to a fine season. The local boy has created a fine im- ; pression by his| versatility since en- tering the Penn! school. Dr. Price, who was formerly coach at Trinity college, coached the football team last fall, and was one of the best boosters for Billy. On the basketball quintet, Dudack played a stellar game at guard and is among the athletes to Te- ceive monograms recently distributed. HARTFORD WINS AT LAST Crippled New Britain High Basket Tossers Beaten, But Force Capitol City Five to Top Speed. Although practically “shot to pieces” with some of the star players debarred by faculty restrictions, and the others suffering from illness, the remnants of the New Britain High school -basketball team went down to defeat at the hands of their bitterest rival, the Hartford High school five, in the local gymnasium yesterday aft- ernoon, score 20 to 17, The game was not of the parlor type, roughness necessitating the referee to call a large number of fouls on both teams.

Al- though the executive committee of the association favored a rule’ that would bar from amateur competition all players who engage in a business in which tennis goods are handled, the delegates did not like the tone of the rule and were openly against it. The compromise suggested by R. Norris Willlams 2d, that all those who enter such a business after April of this year be barred from amateur competion came up for some consid- OrR. PAUL RITTER. Germany's interests in the United States and its insular possessions have ! been turned over to the Swiss govern- ment and now being looked after by Dr. Paul Ritter, a close personal , friend of Count von Bernstorff. Dr. Ritter has heen Swiss minister to the United States since the summer of 1909, eration, but this too was objected to by the western delegates who, armed with proxies, seemed to hold the bal- ance of power. A two-thirds majority vote was necessary to carry each amendment offered to the amateur rule and this was too much for the “old guard” to swing. Practically every other section of the new rule was passed with hardly a dissenting vote. Sub-section 7 of the new rule, which deals with expenses of visiting players was obliterated from the new rule. This had to do with players accepting moncy for expenses when visiting other clubs. Ths rule would allow the payment of expenses only by sanction of the executive com- mittee. The other sections, which are | similar in wording and fact to the present rule were adopted without i comment or show of opposition. The national doubles championship tournament, which will be plaved in open competition similar to the sin- gles, was awarded to the Longwood Cricket club of Boston. The Owentsia club of Chicago put in a bid for the fixture, but the vote stood 172 for | Longwood to 89 for the western club. In the afternoon the delegates award- ed the singles tourney to the West Side Tennis club of Forest Hills. The national clay court champion- | ship was given to Cincinnati. Kansas City put in a bid for this event, but | was voted down. For the first time in four years the slate of the nominating committee met I with opposition. George T. Adee, pres- ident, and Edwin F. Torrey, secretary, , were re-elected, and Dwight F. Davis | was chosen in place of A. L. Hoskins | of Philadelphia as vice-president. The fight came on the election of a treas- urer. The nominating committee pre- | sented the name of Berron S. Pren- | tice to take the place of Richard | Stevens, who had held the position for 1 a good many years. Richard Norris Williams 2d, na- tional champion; Willlam J. Clothler, former champion, and Watson M. ‘Washburn were elected delegates at large, td serve two years, Hoskins, middle states; F. C. Colston, middle Atlantic; O. J. Salisbury, intermoun- tain; C. Y. Smith, southern and Wal- | ter A. Goss, Pacific northwestern were | chosen sectional delegates. The report of Torrey showed that there are 323 members in the associa- tion, 802 clubs, 14 associations and seven park associations. ! and six clubs dropped out. The report of the treasurer showed that the association had $39,649.79 in for the the treasury and its profits year had been $2,979. Robert D. Wrenn, former president of the association, reported for the He asked that his committee be empowered to ta)‘(’e the | Davis cup series in the event interna- | tional conditions take a turn for the better.

New York, Feb. 10.—If Johnny Ev- manager of the Cubs, can be waived throygh the National league he likely to open the 1917 season at sec- { ond base for the Yankees. As far back as last summer there were ru- mor$ that Evers would come here in a deal for Lee Magee, but the club then scoffed at it. Yesterday, however, the Yankee of- ficials would neither deny nor affirm a rumor that the Yankees are dicker- ing for Evers’ services. “I would rath- er not discuss it,” said Capt. Huston when asked about the rumor. “Will you deny negotiations age on to bring Evers here?” Huston was next asked. “I cannot talk about it at this time,” said the captain. When Huston was asked, Evers be waived out of the “Could National more communicative and replied, “Could a player such as Boston might want for Evers be waived out of the American league? Perhaps that is | even more important.” ! Evers himself let the cat out of the ! bag during his stopover in New York He came down to Gotham last Wed- nesday to attend the wedding of the daughter of his former employer, Jim | Gaffney. Johnny said he would be glad to play with the Yankees under Bill Donovan and take a whirl around the American league. If he comes here he doesn't want to be captain or hold any commission, but wants give all his time to playing second base. He also thinks he could help the Yankees get in the world's series.

The Washington catcher has writ- ten practically every player in the fraternity urging them to remain loy- al to David L. Fultz, president of the organization, and ‘“‘not to sign until they get the word from Fults." Johnson said the minor league will ignore the appeal issued by Fultz for a conference to settle the differences ~etween them and the fraternity. Clark Grifith, manager of Washington baseball club, when in. formed of President Johnson's an- nouncement regarding John Henry,' ~aid his attitude toward the veteran catcher of the local team would be governed entirely by the evidence produced at the American league meeting in New York next Thursday. “Tf it is shown that Henry’s activi- ties in behalf of the Players’ Frater- nity have been detrimental to the league or to the Washington club, [ will not hesftate to vote for his re- moval,” Griffith said. President David L. Fultz Baseball Players’ Fraternity, when shown the statement that Catcher John Henry, of the Washington club, might be released as a result of his sctlvity in connection with the play- ers’ organization, said he was not pre- pared to discuss at length the latest move of the American league mag- nates at this time. “Mr. Johnson’s statement would appear to imply that Henry is to be driven out of organized baseball, If this is a correct interpretation of his remarks,” said Fultz, “you can rest assured that the officers of the fra- ternity will that Henry's rights are protected in the < of the Amherst. 'Mass., - Feb. 10.—John Henry, catcher of the Washington American league club, last night de- nied that he had sent telegrams or letters to members of any baseball club except the Washington’s in co nection with the activities of the Baseball Players’ Fraternity. “Everything that I have done whas above board, and I will not hesitats to place my case before any tribunal,” Henry stated.
