The kick-up in the Twin-State Jeague Sunday only adds another or- ganization to a now long list of un- certainties, The Boston Record thinks it might e well for managers to supply souir- rel cages as well as batting cages for some of their players, Secretary Reddy of Bridgeport has announced his intention of dropping Gervais and Kearns, hold-out pitcher and catcher of the Bolts. The English Football association has called a special meeting for March 29 to decide where the final tie for the English cup will be played this season. George Burns' dislocated ankle, which he secured in a slide for sec- ond the other day, bids fair to keep him from the Giant lineup for several weeks, Collins and Baker are so far away from Jacksonville, Fla., this season that only an occasional fly ball gets outside the ball park. Last year it was thought at one time that it would be necessary to erect a special hos- pital for the natives who happened in the vicinity of the park in time to stop heavy clouts that salled over the rence, There is no hope that Annapolis will send a crew to the Hudson because the Middles are prohibited rowing races of a greater distance than 1 mile 550 yards. The Middies did have a crew in the 1907 race and finished third, behind Cornell and Columbia. Since sthen there have been annual invita- tions to the Annapolis eight, but none has been accepted, THE BEST KIDNEY REMEDY I always carry a large stook of Swamp-Root and it has a steady de- mand for kidney, liver and bladder troubles.

TROUBLE BREWS IN EASTERN ASS'ON At a Meeting of Three Directors It Was Voted to Annul the Franchises of New Haven, Springfield and Hartford— Clubs Have Failed to Post Necessary Bond of $2,000. Hartford, Conn, March 16.—The storm clouds which have been hover- ing over the Eastern Baseball associa- tion broke today when three of the directors met here and declared for- feited_the franchises of the New Ha- ven, Hartford and Springfleld clubs. This leaves as a nucleus of the league |-Bridseport, New London and Pitts- e Directors J. S. Clarkin of Hartford, Willam Carey of Springfield and George Cameron of New Haven—the latter through proxy—declined to at- tend the meeting, on advice of counsel These three directors claim that the meeting of the directors of the other three clubs was not legal, as no quo- Tum was present. Directors Hugh Reddy of Bridge- port, Eugene McCann of New London and John Zeller of Pittsfleld met with President ~James O'Rourke _behind closed doors for two hours. After the meeting O'Rourke addressed to the newspapermen that the New Haven, Hartford and Springfleld clubs had failed to post the necessary bond of 2,000 to finish out the season and therefore the franchises had been de- clared forfeited under the constitution of the association. O'Rourke said that an__adjourned meeting would be held in New Haven Friday afternoon, when the matter will be discussed further. He declared at this time the league would receive ap- plications for franchises from Water- bury, Danbury and possibly from New Haven and Hartford.. He declined to S0 into details regarding the forth- coming applications. The matter of schedule and other details were put over until the New Haven meeting. C. J. Danaher of Meriden, who is counsel for the three clubs refusing to attend the meeting, said tonight that in_ his opinion today's action was in- valid and that an appeal would be made to the national commission. Clarkin and Carey claimed they did not care to attend the meeting today out of deference to Director Cameron of the New Haven club, who is at pres. ent ill in Chicago. Mr. Cameron ex- pects to come east in a week or so and they desired to postpone the meet- ing until he could be present in per- son. Cameron was represented today by Manager Jerry Connell. ENGLISH CUP TIES BRING BIG RECEIPTS Returns at Gate from Games of Third Round Aamount of $57,780. The receipts from the third round of the English cup ties were on the whole the best recorded so far _this season, amounting to $57,870. Enor- mous crowds, totalling 376,000 people, patronized the- games. The receipts compare favorably with those from the same round last year. when $69,070 was collected. Last seasons third round ties fur- nished the greatest attraction ever put before the English soccer fans, when Aston Villa and West Bromwich Al- bion met. The returns from this match were $14,000. The fourth round ties, which were ended last Saturday, were splendidly supported, close on to 200,000 people paying $30,000 to see the six games, which ineluded two replays. The two big meetings hetween the North and South clubs, Newcastle TUniteg and Chelsea, which attracted 50,000 people to the Chelsea ground and 40,000 for the replay at Newcastle, were responsible for nearly half the amount. received from the fourth round_game: By its sensational victory in the last minute of play on Saturday Chelsea has made itself a strong favorite for the cup_ final. It would be a fitting climax for this team, which includes many of the best players in England and Scotland, obtained at the enor- mous cost of $80,000, to bring the cup south for the first time in fifteen years, when Tottenham Hotspur had the honor. WICKES HEADS JERSEY CLUB. International League Reorganizes Team—Wants Local Backing. The reorganization of the Jersey City club of the International league is being accomplished by President Edward G. Barrow and it has been announced that the new president of the club to succeed Thomas Fogarty is E. W, Wickes, formerly secretary of the Haltimore club. In the old days Mr. Wickes was associated with the Baitimore Orioles. Twelve of last sea- son’s players have been tendered con- tracts and several new players have Dbeen signed. Among these are three players from the Hartford club of the Eastern association. The Skeeters will be ready to open the season on April 1, when they will tackle the Yankees. Concerning the appointment of Mr. Wickes to lead the new Jersey club President Barrow states: “With the man I have chosen to manage the Jersey City team this season I expect to see the organization take a new lease on life. There will be a hundred or more players turned loose by the big leagues before May 1 and I ex- pect that our organization will benefit thereby. All that remains to make the club successful is the investment of Jersey City capital. Four or five wealthy enthuslasts in Jersey City have declared their intention of in- vesting in the club and will leave up to the slogan, ‘Boost Jersey City. Among those who have stated thelr intention of purchasing stock are Sheriff B F. Kinkead and Judge Charles F. O'Brien. Other men in Jer- sey City have also assured Mr. Barrow of their willingness to put money in the club and the outlook for a good season is becoming more encouraging every day. LONG MOTOR BOAT RACE. Conditions for New York to San Fran- cicso Contest. The motor boat executive committee of the Panama-Pacific International exposition—J. A. McGregor, I. H. Cory, C. H. Crocl Daniel L. Pratt_and Lieutenant Commander C. H. Wood- ward, U. S. N.—has issued a_circular of conditions for the New York-to- San Francisco power boat race of 5,730 miles, which has been sanctioned by the American Power Boat association as the “long distance cruiser cham- pionship of America.” The boats entered for the race, after a thorough inspection by the Eastern committee, as to equipment, seaworth- iness and a crew that is properly qual- FINANCIAL AND COMMERGCIAL MARKET WAS UNSETTLED In the Early Dealings on the Heavy Selling of Reading. New York, March 16—Quoted values underwent moderate readjustment to- day, the market becoming somewhat unsettled in the early dealings on heavy selling of Reading, to the ac- companiment of unfavorable dividend rumors. The Reading board is to meet tomorrow for action on the dividend. Inasmuch as earnings for the first seven months of the fiscal year have been far from satisfactory, fears were entertained that a cut in the present rate might result. Lehigh Valley also lost some ground for the same reason that governed the setback in Reading, the latter inter- ests being in control of Lehigh Valley. Canadian Pacific was another heavy feature of the railway division and other active issues receded substantial fractions. Selling _ceased in large measure later in the session, but the list manifested little recuperative power, final prices leaving a large pro- Pportion of let losses, Most of the automobile shares were under pressure and Amalgamated Cop- per and National Lead weré offered at concessions. A noteworthy exception to the declining tendency, was Bethle- hem Steel, which advancéd almost two points to 57 7-8, a new high record. United States Steel was relatively firm and such inactive specialties as Amer- ican Sugar preferred, Montana Power and Texas company rose ome to two points. Reichsmarks were the feature of the exchange market, their increased strength being coincident with open offerings of the new German war bonds. ~ Other continental exchanges held at recent prevailing rates, remit- tances on Rome being again in fair de- mand. Circumstantial rumors of the placing of additional war contracts on a large scale failed of confirmation in authoritative quarters. Another small amount of gold was received from Canada, with negotia- tlons In progress for additional sums. Private cables from London an- nounced further sales of gold by the Bank of England, presumably to our bankers, Total sales of stocks amounted to 169,600 shares. Eonds were easler, with pronounced weakness in New Haven, Rock Island and Missourl Pacific isues. Total sales, par value, $1.915000. 5 one. @t w 106 Chie Gt "w. bF 10 0 Car N B 1100 Chte. & N W 100 R L ap 109 Ghino' Can O 200 Contin “Can o7 100 Contin_Can g 1300 Gorn " wroduct 10 Cua A She 100 Den” “&hio & . 1000 Dixt Sceurities 1500 B ST 80 Brie 1 b 215 Gen.

Passing through the Panama canal to the Pacific ocean they will proceed to Corinto, Nicara- gua, Salina Cruz, Mazatlan and San Pedro; thence through the Golden Gate to the finish line, off the expo- sition, in San Francisco harbor.

The total of the stops al- lowed amounts to ten days, which will be crediteg to each contestant finishing the rac The Panama-Pacific International exposition has appropriated $10,000 in cash for prizes for this race.

Dillon Bettered Gunboat Smith, Milwaukee, Wis., March 16.—Jack Dillon, Indianapolis heavyweight, had a shade the better of “Gunboat” Smith of New York, in a ten round no-decision boxing bout here tonight, according to a majority of sporting writers at the ringside. Dillon was too fast for Smith on the infighting, using rights and lefts to the body with good advantage. Smith almost entirely on his left, try- ing hard, with swings to the head, which seldom found their mark. The fight was marred by considerable clinching, Referee Stout being kept busy separating the men. Harvard Baseball Captain IIl. Cambridge, Mass., March 16—The Harvard baseball team will be com- pelled to take its April southern trip without its captain, Russell Ayers, it was said tonight. Captain Avers has been ill at his home in Montclair, N. J., for several weeks. As he has just submitted to a second operation for removal of an abscess, it is thought unlikely that he will be able to re- join the team before May. White Sox Won in Tenth.
