Worcester, Mass., Sept. 22.—Senti- ..ment among directors of the East- ern Baseball League, at a special meeting here todav, was sald to favor a league of eight .clubs next yvear, in- stead of ten clubs with which the past season started. No formal action on hte matter will be taken however un- til the annual meeting of the league here on October 16. Louis Peiper of Lynn one of the leaders in organiz- ing the ten club circuit this vear, de- clared that a ten club league for next season was out of the question. Manager Hugh Duffy of Portland was given permission to transfer his franchise to another city, the choice to be ratified by the directors before be- coming effective. It was reported that he would select Lawrence or Haver- hill. Today’s meeting was devoted largely to discussing the finances of the Lawrence club, which dropped out of the circuit on Labor Day.

SHOWER CUT SHORT COLUMBUS RACES 2,06 Pace Was Deferred After a Most Bitter Struggle. Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 22—Though there were but three class races on this afternoon’s programme of Grand Circuit racing, it was impossible to finish one of the cvents, as rain put the track out of condition when some of the interested drivers were asking that the sundown rule be observed and that the sixth heat of the 1.05 pace be deferred. The shower cut short the decision and the race in which Judge Ormond ‘and Barlight each have two heats will be resumed tomorrow att- ernoon. This race was bitterly fought in the third heat. Larlight had won the first two from Auto Zombro be- fore the judges took a hand. Prior to the third mile, they put Dick McMahon up behind Auto Zombro and warned Valentine that he must try with Judge Ormonde. ~Auto Zombro ~ broke and dropped out of the fight that lasted to the very finish with Fred Russcll nos- ing out Judge Ormonde in 2:031-4. Barlight was a good third.- Just as the, finishing mark was passed, Valentine reached over and struck Snow, the driver of Fred Loyssell, with his whip. Fred Russell did not carry the ar- gument so well in the fourth heat and it was won by Judge Ormonde, that also got the fourth one in slow time. In the auction pools, Judge Ormonde, Fred Russell and Auto Zombro were well played in order named. Pittsburgh, second choice to M. L. J., won the 2:19 trot that lasted five heats. In both the third and fourtn miles, Pittsburgh made breaks that let M. L. J. have the right of way. For Young Todd that earlier in the week won a heat in 2:02 1-4, there was a victory in the 2:18 pace. Still he failed to land in Straight heats as two breaks caused him to finish last in the third mile. Summarie: 2:06 class, pasing, 3 i $1,200, Unfinished.

Unless something happens, and hap- pens soon to clear the atmosphere and cleanse the sport, savs Jack Gordon, prize fighting will_soon find itself a discredited sport, but slightly more popular than wrestling. The fistic game is going through a baptism of fire and blood just now. The selfishness and money-madness of the champions are responsible for this state of affairs, The fans the country over are being bunked by 10- round ‘matches, payving fancy prices to see champions stall through 10 sleepy rounds, _supremely confident that as long as they take no chances they haven't nothing to lose. The lead ers in all classes, almost without ex ception, are fixing impossible terms holder, will meet tomorrow in the final round for the Berthellyn cup at the Huntingdon Valley Country club, near here. Mrs. Vanderbeck, in the semi-final round today, defeated Mrs. Caleb F.

Although hg has engargd in only two bouts exceeding 10 rounds and both of these were tainted with suspicion. The first was with Ad Wolgast, an -champion,. who had been severely ced in two previous bouts, once by bouts with their Frank Whitney, a fair second-rater. Wolgast contends that he knocked the champion out, and there are many who assert that this is correct, despite the fact that the referce ruled the blow was a foul. An Inter- esting point In this connection is that Welsh's ~ contract prohibiteq his los- ing on a foul, but allowed him to win on_one. The lightweight champlon’s latest long distance fight is even more taint- ed. In his 20-round go with Charley White, - at Denver on Labor day, he insisted upon naming his own reféree, the one he hauls around the coun- try with him. Being the champion, he had his way. The referce ran true to form and gave the decision to his ‘man” when practically _every ex- pert at the ringside held. that the least White was entitled to was a draw. Welsh now, it is presumed, will start a new campaign of picking “the soft ones” in 10-round no-deci- sion bouts. With the heavywelght champion the case is somewhat different. Wil- lard, since winning the championship, has fought just once, then with a man who had been defeated by the man he had defeated. Thils, with rank Moran. was a 10-round bout, kind the champions of other days th wctild not have considered a fight at ail. The rest of the time Willard has been a competitor of the tattooed man and the bearded lady, traveling as a circus freak. It may be true that he can whip all the other heavyweights now in the limelight, but the fans want to see him do it just the same. A cham- pion is supposed to work on the job or lose it. When he stops “champ- ing” he ought t lose his title. It can he said in defense of Jess that he has not tried to pick up a lot of money in_cheese-smelling matches. Johnny Kilbanne, the featherweight champion, by his decisive defeat of George Chaney in the third round of their Labor day battle, demonstrated that he is entitled to his crown. The principal criticism of Kilbane is that he very seldom trles to fight content- ing himself mostly with saving his title, without any regard for the fact that the people who pay to see a scrap are entitled to have one shown them. Now| here's tallk of a match be- tween Kilbane and Welsh, the two champion stallers. No doubt about it, it would be a hum-dinger if both men really tricd. Kilbane is almost as clever as the Englishman, and he has a punch with far greater power than the heavier man can swing. The great trouble about the real- ization of that plan is the money end. When Welsh fights he wants all the moey paid in. When Kilbane fights he wants no less. That would leave the promoter for the trouble and ex- pense a valuable experience, and pos- sibly his clothes. FOOTBALL RULE CHANGES Alterations Made to Clean Up Debat: able Points. With the call for fall football prac- tice to be answered by aspiring can- didates in the next three weeks In all sections of the country, and the open- ing gun of the season to be fired in less than a month, gridiron followens are beginning to look forward to a busy campaign. The change of coach- ing policies at several of the big uni versities, the reversal of form of two of the better known college teams last season, and the ever-changing of the leadership and unexpected defeats of supposed unconquered elevens has added that element of Interest which puts the game of rushing the pigskin on almost an equal par with the na- tio pastime. ~ Every school and college which can gather together a semblance of a team gets on the chalked greensward and endeavors to hand their opponents a defeat, either by _ straightforward, old-fashioned football or bring forth some new idea, which, coming as a surprise, gives them victory. It is this ever-increasing springing of something new in the way of orig- inal formations or additions to the already long jist of styles of attack that has kept the coach, the player and the spectator interested in the game. In its effort to bring out a clean display of competition the In- tercollegiate” rules committee has worked hard in perfecting rules and a code to follow which will make the sport clean, bring it more to the at- tention of the public, and put the game on a par with the leading sport- ing activities of the country. The principal alterations in the rules for this season were made rath- er for the purpose of cleaning up de- batable points than oin any way to alter the style of characteristics of the play, for the committee feels that the zame is now in a well balanced condition. The changes which have been made follow: The referee has the power to award a touchdown to the offending side in case a foul is committed which pre- vented a_score. If a team comes on the field late the other team can choose the goal. If a kick-off goes into the crowd or stand it is a touchback. If a blockea kick goes stand it is a safety. — into the® Players do not have to wear numw < bers for the pleasure of the public. . PITCHING CAREER ENDING. Big Ed. Walish’s Mound Serving Near-_ ing the End. Feod The boom of base hits that crashed:: from the Senators bats of the Washington in Chicago on June 13, sounded the requiem of Big Ed Walsh of the Chicago White Sox, king of the- spitball pitchers and one of the great- est hurlers who ever played the great American game. Walsh made his bow for the scason firm in f“e conviction that he would defy tradition and come back. Never for a moment did he en- tertain a doubt that the once mighty muscles would refuse to respond to the demands made upon them. tried, and like others, like so many others, he failed and perhaps he has pitched his last game. The law of the diamond Is the law of the world. The weak fall early, The strong plunge on for a while un- til the hand of time presses heavily, robbing them of their speed, casting a fog over their batting eye. Then they drop out with only a dream of glory won in the days of thelr youth to_comfort their declining days. So Tet be with Walsh, if he must pass through the portals to a bourne from which none return. In his reign he ruled with the strength of a giant, giving no quarter and asking none. Nor does he ask for any now. Walsh may step down from the ranks but his fame across the pages of baseball history in a bold hand and in letters that will not fade. When the story of great pitchers is written a chapter full of interest will be de- voted to him and his wonderful ca- reer. He will be named as the one pitcher who never hesitated to jump into a game which needed his pres- ence, no matter if he had pitched a full nine innings or more on the day previous. In 1908 he took part 3 fewer than 66 games, pitching 464 in- nings, winning 30 games and losing 15. _ He allowed 343 hits. Walsh subjected his arm to a terrific strain_from 1906 to 1912, inclusive. It was whispered that ha slept in his uniform so that if called upon he would be ready. He was enthusiastic, over hls work, and that this enthusi- asm shortened his career cannot be doubted. ~He fairly reveled in his wonderful strength, and it seemed that 2 man of such massive frame would never weaken. But the end came in the fall of 1912, and from then on Walsh has been of little value to his team. He took part in 16 games in 1913, pitch- Ing 98 innings and allowing 91 hits. In 1914 he woked in nine games, through 45 nings, and last year he pitched in 46 games, winning 24 and losing 18, and the year following, as told before he took part in 66 games. Nor was it only one season with the: “Big Moose.” In 1909 he worked in winning 15_and losing 11; he allowed | 819 earned runs. Walsh back on the! old stand, pitching 45 games, winning | 18 and losing 20 for a team that fin- ished seventh in an eight-club leaguers He lost his first start this season and is through for all times, perhaps. “The Big Moose,” as Walsh has been famed for his spitball delivesy. Ed did, not discover this way of pitching, but! he immortalized it. He showed to the baseball world the wonderful pos- sibiilties of this method of pitching. He carried_the spitball to the last ex- treme of effectiveness and not the fast ball of Johnson, the fadeaway _drop of Mathewson or the curve of Ed. Reulbach, when the famous Giant and. Cub were at their best, was so hard to hit as the Walsh dampened ball, | when_breaking right. Walsh was born at Plains, Pa, on May 19, 1882, made his professional debut with the Meriden club of the Connecticut league in 1902. He work- ed there in 1903 also, and then went to the Newark team of the Interna- tional league. From the New Jersey city he went to the White Sox in 1904 Lhs been there since. In 1904 and 1905 he did compara- ) tively little work. He worked in nine complete games in 1904 and in 11 the following. 1In 1906, when the Sox! worn, the American league pennant and 32 games, captured the world's championship, he did his full share. He worked in 41 games, winning 17 and losing 13, al-, lowing .296 earned runs to the game. He was prominent in the games of the world's series. called by the Chicago fans f8 "~ THE L. A. GALLUP CO.
