Baseball Directors Meet Today— Giants Have Claim for Forfeited Game. New York, Feb. 13—The board of directors of the National Baseball league will hold 2 special meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria_tomorrow_morn- ing to pass on the matter of William J. Murray’s contract with the Philadel- phia club and the claim of the New York club against the Pennsylvania or- ganization for the forfeiture by the lat- ter of a game at the Polo Grounds last year. Murray has a two years' contract with the Philadelphia club as manager, at a salary of $7,500 each season, buf the new owners it is alleged wili not allow him to it out. If Murray does not get a satisfactory award from the board of directors, he will carry his case before the national commis- sion. The board of @irectors is composed of John T. Brush, New York; Charles H. Bbbetts, Brooklyn; Charles W. Mur- phy, Chicaeo; August Herrmann, Cin- cinnati, and Barney Dreyfuss, Pitts- burg. HUNDRED YARDS IN 93-8. New World’s Record by Donaldsen of South Afica. Johannesburg, Feb. 12—Donalison, the South African sprinter, vesterday broke the record for one hundred yards, defeating Arthur Postle of Australia and C. Holway, an American, in 9 3-8 soconds. Donaidson won by two and a half vards, less than a yard separating | secorid and third men. i The previous professional record was keld by Bethune and - Johnson, who covered the distance in 9 4-5 seconds. Dan Kelly of Portland, Ore., holds the amateur record of 9 2-5 seconds. KRAMER IN THE SPRINT Settled the Tie Between Five Teams in Bike Race. Newark, N. J., Feb. 13.—Frank Kra- mer of the Kramer-Fenn team. won the one-mile sprint to settle the tie between five teams for the lead in the | ten-hour a day six cycle team race that was finished in the First regiment | armory here last night. Percy Law- | refice of the Lawrence-Wiley team fin- ished a scant length behind. The leaders scored 1,328 miles 7 laps in the sixty hours of riding. Clarke Beats Racquets Champion. Tuxedo Park, N. Y. Feb. 13.—The surprise of the day at the Tuxedo Ten- nis and Racquet club today, was the defeat of Harold F. McCormick of Chicago, winner of last year's gold rac- quet championship title and holder of national amateur championship in rac- quets, in_the final round, by George C. Clarke, Jr, of New York, in three games to twe. International ing Tournament. St. Feb. 13.—Retling in 1o ntarnationsl vowling tomnatsen was confined fo the two men teams and individuals today, and the shifts all went on during the morning and afternoon. The evening was given over his spitter he would be practically unhittable, but Jimmy cannot, and of- {ten he is taken out of the box before the opposition has made a hit, just be- cause he may have filled the bases with passes. Dygert has ome of the greatest spitters in the business, but because of his great speed and over- hand delivery he gets so much stuff on the ball that control Is a difficult proposition; if he eases up to get the ball over it loses much of its decep- tiveness. Perhaps one blg reason for the de- crease in the use of the spitter is the fact that the batters have begun to ‘wait out a spitball pitcher. No longer do they go up to the plate, swing wild- 1y at any old thing, and walk back to the ben: to tell how each strike broke over a foot. They g0 up to the plate nowadays and make the twirler work every minute, try to keep him In the hole all the time, and meet with much success. ‘The most effective spitball is the one that looks to the batter as if it was ‘%‘x:’; to cross the plate about his knee, jJust about the time he ge ready fo nset it the ball takes a suc den " dip and passes over the plate at his shoe tops, or hits the ground a rectly in front of it. Not so many years ago it was more or less of a custom to close one's eyes, pray and take a wild swing. The spitter started . at the kmees is invariably a ball; the players now realize this and make them be over. you that a spitter started at the let- ters breaks over at the walst line, and 15 not hard bell to hit. That the spitball is injurious to he arm there 1z no question. Yearsago most of the twirlers using it denied the allegation, but since many of them have admitted that it is a terrific strain. Perhaps the spitball pitchers are Just resting up, maybe In a year or so the crop will be bigger than ever, but taking the last two vears into consid- eration, it looks very much as ir Clarke ' Grifith was quite a prophet when he said: “Let the spitter tun its course; it will dle a natural death.” What Freckled Bob Thinks. Bob Fitzsimmons is telling Austra- Hans that unless Jeffries beats John- son down and out inside of twelve rounds, the big negro will win. Fitz- simmons says that Jeffries will have to box faster than ever before, and that he will have to do better than he aid five years ago to stand the killing pace. The Cornishman does not_think much of Johnson at that, and declares that ten years ago he could have stopped the colored champion in a couple of rounds. In Fits's opinion Jeff in his prime was a phenomenal heavyweight, the best the world ever saw, but presses some doubt as to whether the bilermaker can revive the old stam- #na. “Jeff is like an old locomotive, with a boiler full of clinkers,” says Fitz. “Jeff's stomach and bellows are not what they used to be. I'm afraid he will be defeated. Johnson Is clever, and the biggest man physically Jeir had ever tackled. I intend to see the fight and Il shout for the white man.” College Hockey. Playing in the stadium at Cambridze by arc light, atter having waited un- til dusk for the ice to harden, the Harvard hockey team late Safurd: defeated Dartmouth 5 to 0. This game, one of the intercollegiate championship series, strengthens Harvard's hold on second place. At Amberst on Saturday the Amherst hockey team defeated Williams by score of 2 to 1. Conditions twere agalnst good plaving. ‘Yale's hockey team went down to de- feat at Concord, N. H., on Saturds before the fast seven of St. Pa: school. The score was Yale 3, Paul 4. Primceton Swimmers Defeat Columbia. Princeton had little difficulty in win- ning from Columbfa in the annual swimming meet between the two uni- versities at Princeton on Saturday aft- ernoon. The score was 48 to 5. The water polo game also went to Prince- ton by a tally of 19 to 0. Soldiers Win Fencing. At West Point Saturday in the first dual meet of the cadet season the sol- ‘dlers had no trouble in winning every bout from the University of lvania team. Connle Likes the College Boys. ‘Many major league managers it ‘variance over the relative nbiflfl‘o';t;. college ll?l Player and the mea who g Batters will teil | repurchased. If he fails, then the ma- jor league magnate has the chofce of the best players of the purchasing clubs. The same applies to the old er released. In return for the fa- vor, the big league club sending him into the minors may take its pick of the best of his mew associates. Of course, the minor league clubs are benefited by the arrangement, but in | the end the big ones -get the best of | the deal, in the shape of coming stars, The latter, too, are advantaged through better pay and increased fame. Just at present waivers are being asked by the big league clubs for the purpose of turning a majority of the 50 surplus players, caused by the new rule, back to the minors. Every one of them has been placed, but the con- sent of the other major league clubs is necessary. Any ohe of them can | claim a player on the waiver list, and | if the releasing club does not care to | retain him, he +will be taken up By o refusing club, for a orice. How- er, there are very few cases where clubs refuse to waive, for each has its little list, and the chances of reprisal | are great. The new lmit rule is giving the | managers an opportunity for house- cleaning, so to speak, many old play- fulness | ers_who' have served their in fast company being “placed” to the | best advantage. In return, the man- | agers will get younger and more prom- ising players next fall. It will be seen that the magnates do mot let go of their players until their usefulness is entirely gone, There is another angle to the re- | duced reserve list, and that is the probable passing of the scout. He is | the man who in the past few seasons loaded up the big league clubs with | raw materfal, picking up players here and there, with little regard to value. It wasn’t his fault, because the ma; nates wanted enything and every- thing, For instance, the Brooklyn clup gathered about forty in this way, &nd others were almost as eager. It would seem now that the useful- s of the scout s gone, or else he will have to be a phenomenon in his chosen field to hold his job. When purchasing time comes around next August each club will have 26 regu- lar players or thereabouts, and with he limit for the off season placed at | 35 that will leave only 10 new men to | be secured: Figuring on the minor | leaguers to whom strings are attached or who are promised in return for | those “farmea out,” the indications are | that the scout will have nothing to | do. Or if he is still on the job, he will have to be a mighty good one to pick out the best in order that there no dead ones among the ten he recommends. FLAT FOOTED FIGHTERS.

Jem Mace used to beat all his men that way, and he was a womderfully clever fighter. Young Griffo is consid- ered by many to be one of the fastest and cleverest boxers who ever donned 2 glove. He hits when dat footed. I saw him fight twenty rounds to a draw with Kid Lavigne when the kid was £00d and he was in poor shape. Grif- fo scarcely moved out of a six foot circle during the battle until the close, when he began to tire. I can name any number of great fighter swho used the flat footed style. Tom Allen, champion.of America in the old bare knuckle davs, was one. MMike McCool, Joe Coburn, Charley Galla- gher, Nod O'Baldwin and Joe W were others of his day who same style.

PAPKE’S START. filinois Thunderbolt _Helped Out a Friend—Beat Up the Fake Promoter. “Nearly every fighter you meet these days will tell you about how he went to sce some great ring star perform and then and there got the ambition to shine in the squared circle,” writes Billy Papke in an autoblography. “They will tell you how they took this man as a model, wotshipped at his shrine and thercatter became celebrities, for It is only those who have accomplished something that ever get an opportunity to write about themseives. “Now, {n my case it was not like this at all. T never got the fever from see- ing some other fellow perform, nor have I ever looked up ¢o any oneé man as my guiding star. This does not mean that 1 have not learned a whole lot from some of the great fistic stars of the past, for I have watched them all and tried to profit by their experi- | ence. But through it all I have always | foliowed my own style and my own way of fighting and doling things. “It was when I was only 17 years old that I got my first experience. At that time my brother Ed, who is now my manager, a friend of mine, Billy Schmidt, and myself were tacking signs. We took a southern trip. On the way some one introduced & pair of boxing gloves. Ed never used them much, but Smitty and myself put them on every night. “By the time that we got back to our "home in Spring Valley we were both pretty good with our dukes.
