England Keen for an International Match

Anart from Play for Davis Cup.\u25a0

•

London. Dec. 2&-~The English Lawn Ten- j

nis Association at its annual meeting to-

day discussed and referred to the interna-

tional match committee the proposal of the

council that, in view of the difficulty of

securing a team to make the trip to Aus- jtralia or New Zealand, the time had ar- ;

rived to resume negotiations for an an-

nual international match with America,

quite distinct from the Davis cup compe-

tition, and to be played in England ana jdie United States alternately.

The idea met with unanimous approval,

the only stipulation suggested being that ;

the match should not clash with the Davis jcup contest. The suggestion that the ama- I

tour status of lawn tennis players be de- ,

f:r.ed by the association also was referred

to committee.

Boston, Dec. 12—Dr. James Dwight.pres-

ident of the National Lawn Tennis Asso-

ciation, when informed that the English

association favored an international match

With the United States irrespective of the

Davis cup, said that there would be ameeting of the executive committee of theassociation in New York on December 23,

when he thought that the English propo-

sition might be received.Dr. Dwight declined to comment on the

action of the English association, except to

say that the Davis cup was some distanceaway.

in the mean time the annual meeting wasfikiiiK place behind close,! doors. Vice-Pretldent Stein took the chair when Powerslf-rt the room and called for the election ofc-iTJesrs. Barrow and Powers were nomi-natad, and Barrow was elected by a voteof 5 to S. the line-up of the delegates re-maining unbroken. The first election waslCTored.

bei -12, 3.910. and was addressed to the presi-dent* of the Eastern League clubs. 'Hie

letter read as follows:

As time went on and the delegates- wait-ed, a distinct chill permeated the atir.es-jilaers of the hotel corridor and the menlooked inquiringlyat one another. Powersin tie mean time had retired from viewsr\i Based to be disinclined to hurry mat-?<rs and call the meeting to order. Thedelegates themselves began to wonderwbotlni they had not become confused on\u25a0th* tats and doubted whether any meeting

\u25a0I a'! would be held.Word was sent to Powers, who appeared

blissfully Ignorant of the presence of thefive delegates, und information solicitedstbout the meeting. Powers replied that lieosjssfl rail the meeting to order when hegci food and ready, and suggested that thedelegates repair to a spring Training campor some warmer spot. Instead, they re-paired to the room reserved for the gather-ing. Jacob Stein, who represented the Bur-faio club, with George Stallings, called tnemeeting to order. The only business trans-acted was the unanimous election of Bar-row by the five delegates. The session thenndioumed.

The. action of these men was a strawv.hJch showed Powers which way the windvsjbj blowing, consequently the former presi-dent determined to withdraw as graceColiyMpossible from a situation, which did notenhance his prestige. Consequently .Powersordered a s<?cond meeting at C o'clock. i>yThis time the delegates who supportedPowers— of Rochester;- Crow ley, oiProvidence, and O'Mara, of Jersey City-had arrived, making a f'Jll [tendance. As

f-oon as Powers had railed the meeting to

order lie left the chair and the room andcame out to talk It over with the news-paper men.

When th« rail spas Mat out for the an-

nual \u25a0- ••_ the president requested thedelegates to be present promptly at 12o'clock noon. The opposition arrived inforce promptly at the stated hour and meti'-!e suave and wnßtng Powers, who as yet

iaf;not announced ether or not he wasIcandidate for re-election. There seemedto be plenty of broad and expansive smilesIn' evidence, and the five delegates satdov.n to wait for Hie representatives fromth£ Rochester, Providence and Jersey City

Former President's Resignation

Not Accepted When ItConies Too Laic.

Storm and bitter strife marked 'he- an-

nual Tno»Ong of the Eastern League at the

Hotel* Victoria yesterday, when EdwardCrant Barrow, manager of the Montrealclub, was twice elected president and Pat-

rick T. Powers was forcibly ousted from a

l>«>rth srblea so had occupied for eighteen

years. Mr. Powers was net even allowedto resign, as Mi inter of resignation was

read and not accepted by the delegates.

The first election of Barrow was held ata ramp session of five delegates who werepledged net to vote for Powers. These in-

cluded McCaffrey, of Toronto; Stein, ofBuffalo: Dunn, of Baltimore; McGinnity, ofNewark, and Lichtenstein, of Montreal.--».?;.\u25a0 session was held as a result of thoprocrastination of Powers in calling thejneeting to order.

Powers has been president of the East-ern League

'<jr eighteen years, and among

the old guard who were present at the

Hotol Victoria yesterday there was a lot ofsympathy for him and precious little for

tho insurgents. Itwas the opinion of many

that the men whom Powers really madehad turned against him. Had it not been

for Powers the Eastern League would un-doubtedly have passed out of existence at

least two or three times in its history.

Powers hsxi come to the assistance of heleague with funds when owners of the

luha refused positively to put up a pennyand were willingthat the circuit should|o to smash rather than contribute further

to its maintenance.

Harrow was elected president or the At-

lantic League In IBK.holding the office un-

til the organisation broke up, InIgn. Thenhe went to Toronto, managing that nine in]:»'». 3901 and 1902. winning the pennantdaring the third season. From TorontoBarrow went to Detroit, and then to In-

dianapolis and Montreal. He went back to

Toronto in ISO6. and after organizing ateam, which he turned over to Joe Kelly,

ho went Into the hotel business. Barrowkept out of baseball for three years, com-ing back to the game last season as man-ager of the Montreal club.

WORKED LONG IN BASEBALLEastern League's New President

Does Net Lack Experience.Edward Grant Barrow, the new presi-

dent of the Eastern League, has been iden-tified with baseball for many years. For

three years he was president of the At-

lantic League. Mr. Barrow was born in

Bpringfield. 111., on May 10, IMS. and for atime was in the newspaper business in Dcs

Moines. He came to Pittsburg in ISB3 and

was a partner of Harry Stevens. Barrow

helped to organize the old InterstateLeague* managing the Wheeling club In3891 and winning the pennant oC that or-ganization. The following year the Wheel-ing team, still managed by Barrow. entered

the Iron and Oil League, and again won

the flag. In1856 Barrow went to Paterson,

N. J.. having among others on his team

Strain Searches Out the Slight-est Weakness in Every Part

of the Mechanism.

"Every motor car race is a victory torevery contestant— an engtutf iinsjstandpoint." declares George XL Dickson.general manager of the National MotorVehicle Company. 'That statement may-appear somewhat paradoxical at first, butevery concern that has started Its productin a speed battle has learned of the bssMflKof raring, whether their efforts «<rs>crowned with victory or not. \u25a0

\u25a0High speed maintained for a consider-able distance Is the acid test of ever" flbr*of the motor car. These flights over pol-

ished speedway and rough country roadssearch out the weakness of the smallestdetail of construction. Every flight fur-nishes either a meed of praise or a retodssV.for the design or construction or materials.

"There should be no question of the mar-ginof safety in the automobile. Every part

of the mechanism should be tested radarthe strain of the utmost speed the car candevelop. It i* almost certain that every

motor car that is made will be driven attop sp«ed some time or oth»r after Itpass»«into the possession of a private owner.

"In this time of emergency the ownershould have every faith In the .safety ofeach part which shares the strain. It Isnecessary, therefore, for every car to b*tested to perfection before It leaves th<*fact »ry- Even those firms which do no*,

Smith was stronger than his opponentand had the advantage of eight pounds inweight. He forced tne light from the firstgong to the final second and never for amoment did he concede defeat. Fast, pow-erful and aggressive, Smith showed a glar-ing lack of headwork and was outger.er-alled from start to finish. Several timesduring the contest he tried to batter downHurley's guard when the latter was cover-ing up in order to save his strength, buthe only succeeded in hurting his hands.In the later stages Smith directed his at-taok to the body, and. while he landed.Hurley was never in dansrer.

In the eighth raaod BsnMfe accidentallyfouled Hurley, but the latter refused tostop, and returned to the charge withgreater speed than ever.

The seventh round was full of action.Smith tore across the rug at the sound ofthe gong and twos* both hands for thehead.

Elects New Captain.Frank Riley. the holder of the half-mile

Canadian championship, was elected trackcaptain of the Irish-American A. C. at the

annual dinner of the athletes, which was

held at Mouquin's last night. The select-ing of a leader was hotly debated, many

desiring to postpone the election. Aftertaking a second vote it was decided to

name a leader.George Bonhag, the brilliant long dis-

tance runner, and Jim Roscnbergcr. werealso in the field for the position. Out ofthe many athletes on the Irish club's ros-ter only twenty-two attended, fifteen ofwhom were competing athletes and en-titled to cast a vote.

OWNERS REFUSE TO TALKAdvance Guard of Baseball

Legislators in City.The advance guard of the National

lvalue owners who will meet in their an-

nual session at the Hotel Breslin to-day

arrived in New York while the Eastern

League delegates were deposing powers.

AH we.re decidedly reticent about the big

meeting this afternoon. Charles W. Murphy,

of the Chicago Cubs, was the first to ar-

rive, and soon after he was joined by

Charles Kbbets, of Brooklyn, who crossed

the bridge to talk things over with hiscolleague in opposing the policies of Presi-

dent Lynch.

John H. Dovey. of the Boston Doves, ap-

peared in the afternoon. Mr. Dovey paid

that be bad heard nothing about the meet-ing of the Boston National League club,

which was to have been held in Boston yes-terday and after which the new ownersof the club were to have been announced.Murphy declared that he had nothing tosay, while Bbbeta asserted that he did not

know what was going to happen to-day.

The Pittsburg delegation, including Drey-

fuss Uocke and Clarke, was seen at theHotel Victoria, where the Eastern Leaguemeeting was held. •

The National League meeting will befailed to order at 2 o'clock this afternoon.It will be preceded by a meeting of theboard of directors of the League this morn-Ing, .HOLE NOW DUG FOR HATCHETDartmouth Not Opposed to Re-

newing" Athletics with Brown.[ByTelegraph to The Tribune. 1

Providence. Dec. Brown students and

alumni received with considerable satisfac-tion to-day an ofllcial denial from R. H.Ksjsier, Dartmouth's football manager, that

he had intimated that Dartmouth wouldrot consider a proposition to arrange agame with Brown next season and thus

resume athletic relations. .:<. \u25a0- '\With equal pleasure also was read the

rest of the story Bent out from Hanover, to

the effect that the Dartmouth student body

was generally In favor of resuming rela-

tion* with Brown. Sentiment of that nat-ure is unquestionably growing among the

Brown undergraduates.

Ithas developed that the principal reasonfor not opening the box and counting th*votes cast last week on tbt» question ot a

p.jaco pact v. Hit Dartmouth was not the

f#ar that the vote was aguinst Mich an ar-

rangemewl but ruthrr the though! that astrong afiirmntivo rote would place Brown

in the unenviable light of supplicating for

Answer—

The competitor's action is plain-ly contrary to the spirit of Stroke Rule 4(2), and the rules of golf committee recom-mends that the competitor he disqualified.

"On the day of a competition a competi-tor, before starting, rolled two balls to-ward the hole with his hand on two oc-casions. He had no clubs. Should he bedisqualified under Stroke Rule 4 (2)? It isargued that, as no club was used, the rulecannot be applied."

Answer— Rule 2 (1) refers to a ball whichis not in play. The competitor having madea bad stroke, his ball was in play. If thecompetitor grounded his club when ad-dressing the ball for the second time, he

incurred a penalty of one stroke, see Rule12 (O, because the ball moved, and heshould then have played the ball from

where it lay. Provided he conformed tothe conditions laid down in Stroke Rule 11(I>, he could tee the ball under a penalty

of two strokes. Ifhe did not conform MlStroke Rule 11 (J) the competitor is dis-qualified.

"In a stroke competition a competitor

missed the ball on the first tee. While ad-dressing the ball for the second stroke theball fell off the tee. The competitor re-placed it and drove off, counting two

strokes played from the tee. Is this cor-rect?"

Among the many problems presented tothe St. Andrew's rules of golf committeeare the following:

Frederick S. Wheeler, of Apawamis, isthe nominee for president to succeed AdrianH. Larkin. James L. Taylor has beennamed for vice-president, W. D. Vander-pool for secretary and Mortimer N. Buck-ner for treasurer. Others to constitute the

executive committee are Findlay S. Doug-

las, Harry V. Keep, John Reid, jr., Joseph

P. Knapp and John M. Ward.

F. S. Wheeler to Succeed AdrianH. Larkin as President.

William Hepburn Russell says he will

Pittsburs. who now holds control, will rep-

resent the club at the National League

meeting, according to Mr. Russell.

"With regard to your proposition of tak-ing charge of hockey. Ido not hesitate tosay that my vote should be against the

\u25a0\u25a0mion 'stacking' up against any such bunch Jof trouble. This hockey proposition is one jof the festering sores of winter sport— at |

least in this section— whereof Iam qualified

ito speak."*

As nobody wants to govern hockey,

hockey will have to go on taking care of jItself. It is growing apa.ee, too. and Issomething more than a smiling infant.

Honus Wagner will never be sold, tradedor released by Pittsburg. Fred Clarke hasspoken. Just before starting for this city

to talk trades while the. National League is

in session he was quoted as saying inPittsburg:'"Iwill never sell, trade or release Wag-

ner; ifhe ever plays ball again it will be

with Pittsburg. Of course, he may not

want to play, but if he does he will bethrowing dust around the inner field nextsummer.

""

It Is known, however, that there will be

a shake-up in the Pittsburg team. Clarke

admitted so much to-day, but would not

talk of his plans, beyond saying:

Ialways have figured that there is someplayer inthe country who can fill the shoes ,of another, no matter how good the latter jappears to be. Idon't say that Ihave the jbest team in the country. There are some :

men on the other teams of whom Ithink a jgreat deal, and would be and am willing

to make a trade ifIthink Ican get value|received.| 'This does rotapply toany particular man

on my team. Ibelieve Ihave a good bunch

of players and one that will make the rest !

iof them hustle at all stages of the game. :

rOf course, there always are weak spots on|!any aggregation. We have them. Iknow

where they are and purpose to strengthen

them if there is a possibility of doing so.

!If there is the least chance of my putting

Iover a trade at the National League meet-

ingIpuipose to do so. That, is what Iamgoing down there for."

Wagner has played ten years with Pitts-burg and seven times ha» stood at the top

of the National League batting list. Only

Ilast week word came from Pittsburg thatWagner would be traded, as the "fans" had

!so decreed. Evidently Fred Clarke, and not jjthe "fans" is managing the Pirates.

Eddie Lennox, the hard hitting thirdIbaseman, has signed a contract to play

iwith Brooklyn again next year. Lennox

!was out of condition for a greater part of

Ilast season, but now promises to Pght his

way back to a regular place on the nine,

and says he willbe among the first at Hot

!Springs to begin training.

All the Superbas, that is of the regulars,

have now signed contracts for next yearexcept Hummel, Bergen and "Doc' bean-

lon. Charley Ebbets says these three arej nut "holding out."

"I agree with yuu that hockey has

readied the stage when a national associa-tion must control it and make the rules,

and the Western Skating Association Isquite right in taking the question up. Youmay have some trouble in New York, how-ever, in making the teams here play in ac-

cordance with your rules.".7. A. Taylor, president of the Canadian

association and vice-president of the Inter-national Union, took a different view from

Mr- Sullivan. He said in a letter to Mr.Blanchard:

So Says Fred Clarke—

All-StarBaseball Nine for All

Time Picked.All efforts by the Weff^rn Skating Asso-

ciation to have; the Amateur Athletic. T'nion

at the International Skating: T'nion of

America assume control of hockey have

ended in failure. Judging from the opinionsexpressed, no governing body could prop-

erly control it. and nobody cares to invitetrouble by attempting the task. J. A. Tay-lor, vice-president of the? InternationalSkating Union, gee." so far as to call hockey

the festering sore of winter sport.

At the last meeting of the Western Skat-ins Association it was" deckled to promote

hockey because the Illinois AthleM'- club

had entered Its team in the association.Allen I. Blanchaifl, president of the Inter-

nationa! Ska'ins Union of America, who isopposed to taking over hockey, called for

a moil vote from, the presidents of otherassociations, and all of them were against

accepting the sport, because there is no

governing body to control it. James E. Sul-livan, secretary of the Amateur AthleticUnion, in a letter to President Blanchardsaid:

WAGNER ALWAYS A PIRATE

Nobody Wants the Task of Try-ing to Govern Hockey.
