The International turneq out some fancy pieces of base- ball machinery, and among its grad- tes whose work next vear will be watcheq critically by the fans are Ed- die Murphy and Jimmy Walsh, out- flelders; Alva Dolan, third baseman, and Claude Derrick, shortstop. Mur- phy, Dolan and Walsh were the Inter- national league honor men last season in the batting course, says a writer in Sporting News. Murphy won the gold medal for bingling and led the league with the fancy tting average of .361. Dolan and Walsh were tied for second place in batting, e ch of these youngsters hit- ting for .354. Dolan also specialized in the base running department, and showed the way league base runners with steals. Derrick did not rank as high as the other three in the hitting class, his specialty being knocking down hits in- stead of cracking them out. However, there were many weaker batters in the International league than Claude, who rapper out an average of .267 in 30 games. Murphy started the campaign a member of the Baltimore team. en he reported to the Orloles in the spring he was a green rookie, with little experience, and when he left the league in 1912 Intrenational league, five months later ,to join the Athletics, he was the star of - the league. Murphy showed he could lam- bast big league pitching as well the minor league brand, as he hi 817 in_his 33 American league con- tests. Walsh started the season with Baltimore the same as Murphy, but whereas Murphy was a recruit fight- ing for a job, Walsh was well estab- lished in the Monumental city. He al- so finished the season with the Ath_ letics. Walsh at one time played with Northampton. Dolan had the distinction of playing in both the major leagues last season, in additlon to serving his time in the International. Cozy began the sessan with the Highlanders, touted as a sec- ond Jimmy Collins. He deserved all the good things said about him, as his work with the Kilties at the end of the 1911 campalgn was remark able. However, the Oshkosh scene- shifter, as Cozy was called when a member of the Hillmenn, never got started last spring. He burnt his knee in the South, and was in no condition to play and Wolverton finally released International | him to Rochester. Wallace Signs for 18th Year. St. Louis, Feb. 28.—Rhoderick Wal- lace, the veteran ehortstop of the St. Louis American league baseball team, affixed his name today to a 1918 con- tract, the 18th annual major league contract he has signed. Van Dyke Goes Back to Worcester. Boston, Feb. 28—The release of Pitcher Van Dyke to the Worcester club of the New T d league was announced today by the Boston Amer- ican club. Van Dyke was setured from Worcester at the close of- the| New England leagus season last year. BOSTON TEAMS START FOR SOUTH, Majority of Red Sox Players to be Picked up En Route—Stahl Now at Hot Springs—DBraves on the Way to Athens, Ga. Ray Collins Fails to Sign Boston, Feb. 28.—The vanguards of both Boston major league baseball teams started south for the spring training trip today. Only a few mem- bers of the world's champion Ameri- -cens left Boston, their party at the start being composed largely of news- papermen. Other members of the team will be picked up en route, while many are to proceed direct to Hot Springs, Ark., where Manager Jake Stahl has been working out the winter’s kinks for the past week. The Nationals got away on an even- ing train for New York, the first stop on the way to Athens Ga., the fitting out grounds. Captain Bill Sweeney headed the party out of Boston and was assured of several additions at; New York, Philadelphia and Washing- ton. Manager George Stallings has had half a dozen battery candidates work- ing out on his plantation at Haddock, Ga., for the past fortnight. { Ray Collins, the southpaw pitcher, | remalins the only holdout from the Red | Sox squad, while the Braves have been unable to satisfy the demands of | writing With Champions. onds..

Lawlor of Fort War- ren put the 16 pound shot 42 feet 1-2 inch for the championship in that event. Bat Knows Nothing of Divorce. Savannah, Ga., Feb. 28—When Bat- tling Nelson arrived in Savannah this afternoon from New York he denied knowledge of any intention on the part of his wife, Mrs. Fay King Nelson, to sue for divorce. ‘“This is staggering,” he said, when ghown a despatch to that effect, “and as far as I know there is not a’word of truth in it. Mrs. Nelson is nmow in Denver and 1 have been to her and receiving letivis from her regularly. The name of her father is Jack King, and he and I are the best of friends. I am now plan- ning to either meet Mrs. Nelson in Chicago on March 11 or go_to Denver to celebrate her birthday. We are on Catcher Bill Rariden. YOUNG M'AULIFFE HAS SOMETHING ON JOE SHEA Won by a Shade in 12 Rounds— Palitz Beats Bunny Ford. Conn., New Haven, Feb. 28.—Young McAuliffe of Bridgeport had a shade on Joe Shea of Waterbury in a fast 13 round bout before the Crescent | Athletic club at the Casino here to- | night. | Shea bad an advantage in the first | three rounds. . The next three rounds i were even, but in the seventh Mc- Auliffe had decidedly the best of the argument. The remaining rounds were hard fought, with the Bridgeport fighter having a very slight advantage. In the lest round McAuliffe was strong and in the opinion of a majority of the sporting writers present, including the officials, ' McAuliffe is entitled to the decision. Buddy Faulkes of Waterbury and Brown of Boston fought Young Micke 10 rounds to a draw. This bout was a fast one, both fighters showing up to good advantage. Kid Palitz_of ew London won easily from Bunny Ford of New Ha ven in 10 rounds Kid Bunyon o New Haven and Wally Alteri of New Haven fought six rounds at catch weights, Bunyon having the advantage in a wurlesque bout. TRACK AND FIELD. ) Ten Events Decided in New England Indoor Champions| 28 —New England ir field championships in ten events were dacided tonight a Mechanics hall.

It adopted a rule requiring promoters of fights to make public announcement when box advertised to appear In the ring flnd they nnot do so. No- tices of non-appearance are to be posted at box offices and, if there is time, sporting writers are to be mnoti- fied so that announcements can be made in newspapers.

Washington, Feb. 28.—Whether a person who has purchased a ticket for a horse race may sue the promoters o the race for ault when forcibly denied admission was a question today argued before the supreme court of the United States.

Y., Feb. 28.—The Col- gate university advisory board, it was announced tonight, has engaged Law- Dartmouth, '10, to coach the football team for the season of 1913. Bankart coached Colgate's team in 1910 and was backfield coach for Dartmouth during the seasons of 1911 and 1912 rence H. Bankart, Tigers Are Polo Champions. Princeton, N. J., Feb. 28.—Princeton clinched the intercollegiate water polo hampionship here tonight by defeat- ing the team from the University of Pennsylvania, 8 goals to 2.

Dogs of 13 breeds were entered. The winning animal was runner up in a similar competition at the recent New York show. A DRIFTING MARKET. 1 Trading Dull Because of Impendig Change of Administration. 28— New York, Feb. "here was no strong demand for stocks today from any quarter. Price movements were small and variable and trading was dull. With the change in administra- tion at Washington only a few days off, traders were inclined to let the market drift and await definite in- formation as to the new cabinet and the incoming president's first utt ances. The more pressing require- | ments of the short interest appeared | to have been satisfied, thus curtailing the buying which has been an impor tant factor in the recent upturn. Tk only wide fluctuations of the day were among the less stable stocks, such @ Can, Woolworth, Sears-Roebuck and Goodri which fell away sharply in the early —art of the day. The money market showed a firmer tendency today. Call money touched 4 1-2 per cent, the highest in some time. German bankers were bidding | actively for money in this market to- day to carry them over April 1 com mitments. As much as 5 per cent. for thirty days was offered, with few ac- ceptances. Local bankers look for a decided stiffening of rates within the next few wecks, basing their opinions largely on the ained monetary con- ditions abroad, further proof of wh was furnished by the Fank of Eng- land’s latest statement. Tightening of call rates today was attributed to preparations for March interest and diviGend disbursements to be made tomorrow. Forecasts of the bank statement, based on Kknown move- ments of currency, indicated a small loss in cash. In some banking quar- ters it was that a resumption of gold shipments to South America next weelk is not unlikely. Declaration of 24 per cent. back div- idends on Can preferred after the close of the market yesterday proved to have been discounted. HBoth the common and preferred sold off sharply, although subsequently _they recovered part of the losses. Baltimore and Ohio was depressed temporarily by a _further hitch in plans for the new bond issues The improvement in bonds was halt- ed and there were some traces of heaviness. Total sales, par value, $1,- 830,000. United States twos declined 1-8 on call. $STOCKS. 8TOCKS. o o wor 12100 Amal. Copper .. Am. Agricwitural | — Am. Beet Bugar 23000 Am.

STAR FIRST SACKER.! g Differed from Accepted S(yle! | i \ \ | | Pla; of His Day. 0 the present generation of fans, Charles Comliskey the old Roman, the owner of the Chicago White Sox, the man who controls the destinies of Ed Walshand a number of other first- class ball players. In a vague way they know that Comiskey was a great player, and that about lets most of them out. But there is an older or- der of baseball enthusiasts that members Comiskey as the Hal of his day. He is to them not s much the magnate as the first base- | man, captain, and manager, who led | St. Louis to four pennants, and made e team the fighting terror it once s. As a first baseman. Commy was | a piloneer. He invented a new s(_vla,! and though he never led the league in his position, he had an even great- er effect on the manner of playing the re- | sack than Chase has evéer had. He differed widely from the accepted style of the star first sacker. The great ones before him were Dan Brouthers, Dave Orr and Roger Con- nor. They were glants in size, mere targets at which infielders pegged, says an exchange. TheYy played ‘the | sack close and covered little ground. | Comiskey came along and started the | fashlon of playing deep. At first he was ridiculed. But in almost no time the fans awoke to the fact that he was covering twice the territory of his predesessors, and that, while he was not a stationary target at which to throw, his infielders got the ball to him just as surely as if he were. By 1895 he had built up a wonder- ful team. He had a fierce, aggressive infield that could hit, an excellent outfleld, and his battery staff was un- exceptional. Latham, Gleason and Robinsqgn, Welsh and O’'Neal, with one of the pitchers were the outfleld. The e Foutz and Carruthers, hong was his catching This crev swept through powerful American association won four consecutive pennants. In each of the four pennant-winning vears they led in fielding, in all but in 1887 In batting. In base-running they easily topped the list. Comiskey clf was no mean pliferer, taking 1887 and 77 in 1888, Latham, however, had him faded, stealing 124 in the season of 18S8. Comiskey reckoned only about in the 250 class as a batter, though in 1887 he hit for .368. He was noted as a pinch hitter dangerous with men on. He batted himself fourth, just behind Lathem, either Foutz or Carruthers coming ffth. During the 10 years he was with St. Louis he had under him many other stars, Hudson, Nilver King, Chamberlin, Jack Stivetis Breitenstein and even for a little while Clark Griffith. The first break in the organization came in 1889, when Foutz Carruthers and Bushong went to Brooklyn. In the next year the brotherhood war blew the team asunder, Comiskey himself revolting and with Latham, O'Neal ana Hoyle mainstay the and | joining Chicago in the Players League. Next year he was back in St. Louis and with but McGarthy and Boyle of his old team, built up an organization that made flerce pennant fight los- Ing to Boston by a narrow margin. The years after that—1892—saw him as pilot of the Reds, where ne had about the same success as every other Cincinnat! manager. He struck with the Reds four vears, when he made a gtart as an owner by buying in on the St. Paul tecm. In his first year at St. Paul he played in 13 games, but this was his swan song as a player. From then on he was a magnate, an his 14 years' service as a plaver was finished. NEXT YEAR'S CHAMPIONS IN POST SEASON SERIES. Plan for Clash Between Pennant Win- ners of Eastern Association and New England League. If a plan now in the works is car- ried out—and there is no reason for it ®oing amiss—baseball fans in Massa- chusetts and Connecticut will have something besldes the world’s series to tax their nervous systems when the regular post season jumborees are de- clared in order. In all probability late Beptember will see the leaders of the New England league battling for the championship of this neck of the continent with the topnotchers of the Fastern association, nee Connecticut Jeague, which will very likely be the Hartford team, A few feelers put out in each orgenigation indieate that there {8 a strong sentiment for such a series. Up te this time the backers of the plan have nei made any announce- ment, but the Times learns from a re- liable seuree that there will be a con- ference of representatives of the two leagues to diseuss the propesitien some time '~ the mear futur Will Have to Shew Tim.
