HICKEY NOT WORRIED, Minneapolis, Minn.,, May 11. Thomas J. Hickey, president of’ the American association, declared yester- day on his return from a tour of qza circuit that the proposed meeting of club owners to discuss means of meet- ing present conditions probably would not be held in the immediate future.

The New Britain High school base- ball team will make another attempt to' get going tomorrow afternoon, when the Bristol High echool nine will be encountered in the Beill City: Rarm or Pohlman, both recruits, will probably be tried out on the mound with Connolly catching. illegal in this state. The' Frawley law, under which the boxing commis- slon was created in 1911. was repealed last night by the state legislature. Both the senate and the assembly passed Senator George A. Slater’s bill repealing the law. As the repeal was passed solely through the insistence of Governor Whitman his signing the Slater measure is a foregoné conclu- sion: While boxing as now conducted will continue for seven months more, the issuance of new licenses now is prohibited. The bill legislates out of office on November 15 Commissioners = Frank Dwyer of Geneva and John Franey of Albany and restores the boxing game generally in this state to the ‘'members of this club only” system in vogue before the Frawley law went on the statute books. ‘The senate gave the Slater bill just the requisite 26 vote to pass the bill. An the assembly the vote was 94 to 42, which was announced at 10:15 o’clock. BSenator Theodore Douglas Robinson, Colonel Roosevelt’s nephew, lead the fight against it. Still suffer- ing from the effects of a broken leg Senator Robinson hobbled: about the senate floor, appealing to senators to withdraw their support of the meas- ure. Ten minutes more and Senator Rob- fnson would have defeated the bill. He amoved to reconsider the vote by which it passed, only to learn that it had been hurried from the senate to the assembly. Senators Cromwell of Rich- mond, Halliday of Ithaca, Murphy of Brooklyn and Ottinger of Manhattan were won over from his own political side of the fence by Senator Robin- son, ‘while Senator Lawson, republi- can of Brooklyn, votéed present, and Senator Mullan of Rochester, repub- lican, and Senator Dowling of Man- hattan, democrat, did not vote. All of the democratic senators voted against the bill. It was passed under an emergency message of the gover- nor. After a caucus the assembly -passed the bill. All the republicans who voted against it when it was defeated twice before, except Assemblyman Alexander Taylor of Buffalo, voted in the affirmative. Assemblymen Ma- lone and Welch of Albany, republi- cans, the most bitter antagonists of the measure, voted for its enactment The democratic members of the house, . votihg solidly against the re- peal, declared that the vote of the majority was dictated by Governor Whitman “with the crack of the lash.” Assemblyman Martin of New York, democrat, arraigyed the major- ity, declaring that it had permitted the executive branch of the govern- ment to invade its province and dic- taté what it should do. “What & spectacle to witnegs, the republican party falling into line at the crack of the governor's lash!” shouted McCue. TO PLAY MIDDLETOWN. The Pirates’ baseball team will journey to Middletown Sunday after- noon, where they will clash with the Valley.league team of that place. The players and rooters will leave in awto trucks from the corner of Main and Myrtle streets at 12:45 o'clock, s . ot e FO0TE SETS RECORD mu-m,mmmmv.;nmm Hant Brand of Bawltnc in" '.l‘wo-len Series at Aetna Alleys. Joe Foote, a member of the cham- pion New Britain quintet which won the Inter-City bowling league cham- pionship, won more fame last evening on Aetna strips, when in the two-men match, teamed with Young, he es- tablished a new record for five games, scoring a total of 563. In none of the games did he fall below the cen-' tury mark, his best offering being in ithe fourth game when 141 was the result ‘of his pin pounding. Needless to say with such a clever exhibition, O’Connell and Johnson who opposed Foote and Young were on the short end, winning hut one game of the five rolled. A very iteresting contest between A. Anderson-Larson and Ber- tini-Hines was rolled, the former be- ing the victor, three games to two, necessitating a roll off after the fifth game, when the dous tied at llC each.

Scores Fourth Oomsecutive Knockout at Expense of Eddie Shannon. New York, May 11.—Benny Leon- ard scored his fourth consecutive knockout last night when he stopped Eddie Shannon in the sixth round at the Clermont Sporting club. Leonard weighed 133% and Shannon 136% ipounds. Shannon had been sent to his knees by a right hander to the jaw in the sixth and had arisen without taking a count when a sponge flew into the ring from the beaten man’s corner. Shannon, who issaid to have given a hard battle to Johnny Kilbane, made a surprisingly good battle for two rounds and gave Leonard a puffed and cut eye. Shannon had the better of the second round, but Leonard solved his style in the third and thenceforth Shannon was a punching bag. Leonard started a crimson flood from Shannon’s mouth with a straight left and rocked his head with right hooks. Shennon practically was done for in the fifth, and while he made a strong rally in the sixth, he soon was checked by heavy body blows and was sent spinning by a heavy right hander to the jaw, WESLEYAN WINS AT TENNIS Middletown, May 11.—Wesleyan won its third consecutive tennis match of the season here yesterday, defeat- ing Swarthmore College, ¢ to 2.

Oubs Win Tough-Luck Game, , Brooklyn, May 11.—If baseball is still in {ts infancy it will have to live long enough to grow chin whiskers before it sees such another tough-luck game as that which carried the Cubs to a 3 to 1 triumph at Ebbets Field yesterday afternoon and second place in the National league standing. {Everything broke just right for Chi- cago and just wrong for broeklyn. It started in the first inning and. it kept it up all the rest of the way. Big Jim ' Vaughn, the celebrated Windy City southpaw, who shared in the glory of Toney's recent no-hit, ten inning per- formance, outlucked rather than out- ers. Larry Cheney, Wheezer Bell and Leon Cadore, who twirled relays for Robbie, all pitched shutout bail. Chi- cago got all its runs off Cheney simply because his cast was open as a sleve defensively. - Vaughn, saved by the most sensatonal support, was' taken | for a run that should have: doddod the argument. ’mu score. r.'h e 200010000—3 5 ‘2 000000001—1 8- 5 Batteries—Vaughn and Wilson; | Cheney, Dell, Cadore and Miller, Alex.

Lone 'l‘ally in Last Inning Ends Brilliant Pitching Duel Chicago, May 11.—Luck broke with the New York Yankees yesterday aft- ernoon and they registered a victory in their first game of the seasom on western soil. A wild throw by Ris- berg, which gave life and two bases . to Fritz Maisel in the ainth, “was i turned into a run by the visitors, and , the, White Sox were beaten. The scote was 1 to 0. Ruassell. The mistake of his arm . probably was caused by some psycho- logical trémor, for he hurried in mak- ing a play on which he had the ueual 4 anfount of time. Maisel's reputation for speed was not lost upon the Sox fielder; it' would seem. Maisel was the first man to face Russell in the final frame and he sinshed a grounder down to short fleld. . Risherg flelded the ball without any too great dificulty and proceeded to cut loose with a truly heroic heave. ‘Maisel never stopped running until he anchored safely at second base, and there he expressed his appreciation of. his rival's deed. ‘Wallie Pipp laid ' down a bunt, advancing Maisel to the far turn, whence he journeyed home on J.
