delegates, while fair percentage or the
1913 allied clubs also had representatives
The fixture of the date, the second week

the sentiment of the letter and claimed
that the westerners could not get In condi-
ton for good golf as early In the season
as the eastern players.
He urged in the spirit of making the
tournament genuine national AFFAIR. That
the request be granted John Reid, some
what to the surprise of many Of the dele
gates, moved that the championship be
held in the second week in June. This
started lively argument, In which one
OF the strongest points was made by Bruce
Price Of Tuxedo. who claimed that the ma
tional championship would be more worthy
of the name at the close of the season.
Samuel L. Parrish Of Shinnecock. who
had first favored, a, spring competition,
frankly stated that he had been much i'm
pressed by the remarks of Mr.. Taylor In
behalf of the western golfers, and he be-
leved their point was well taken and that
September would be far more convenient to
the college golfers that june Mr. Reid,
seeing the popular trend, withdrew his mo-
ton, and Mr. Taylor thanked the delegates
for their consideration and said If the west

The death of Matthew Fox, formerly
United States bugler at Sitka, In the snow
wife's life by a faithful malamoot dog,
seems like a chapter from a novel rather
than an incident in real life.
In the middle of January, being short of
food. Fox and his wife started for the ware
house Of the Rodman bay syndicate, seven
miles distant. They did not realize that
they had to break their trail through soft
snow seven feet deep. Before they had
gone far Fox broke through ice in crossing
a stream and was wet to the knees. He
still pushed on. Scarcely two miles had
been made before night came on. They
turned back almost exhausted.
Fox sent his wife ahead to prepare hot
drink for him. He told her he would drag
himself to the cabin. Mrs. Fox managed
to reach camp and built a fire. Overcome
with exhaustion and .owsiness she fell
asleep. She awOke at o'clock in the morn-
ing and discovered the absence of her huS-
band. Dragging herself along the trail she
soon same upon his body face down in the
snow. He still lies there embalmed by ma
ture.
For thirteen days without fire and only a
little raw corn, the poor woman existed,
her only companion a dog. On the four
teenth day, starvation staring her in The
face, she started for Rodman bay. How
she got there she does not know. She fell
exhausted time and time again and on re-
turning to consciousness would find the
dog licking her face and fondEng her. On
her arrival at the beach she found her
father, who had made long trip fearing
that something had happened to his daugh-
ter. Mrs. Fox was taken to Sitka. She will

bury and W. T.. Drummheller. These men
were selected yesterday afternoon after
trials held on the indoor track at Franklin
Field, which is several seconds slower than
the track at Convention Hail. but the time
made by the above men was very fast,
the average time being O.52 40 seconds for
a quarter of a mile. The men are in fine
condition and expect to defeat the local
boys. Goodman and Westney ran against
Harvard two weeks ago. Brown takes
Cooks place and Tewksbury will run in
Leary's place. Westney will be the substi-
tute runner. The Georgetown team select
ed to toe the mark in this event are: Owens.

runner but the others have not had much
experience at this distance. They are all
fast men and nervy, and will put up

Schedule Adopted and Claimed Play.
ers Awarded.

The National League club owners con-
Guided their annual spring meeting at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. New York, yesterday
Before adjournment the playing schedule
for the coming season was announced. Inc
board of arbitration, consisting of a. II.
Soden James Hart, John T. Brush, f. De
Haas Robson, John /. Rogers and Presi-
dent Young, went into session at 1880 a m.
The official death knel of the American AS
ISOLATION, as an organization in Its present
form, was sounded. 1t is not improbable,
however, that circuit of western clubs
will be launched within few days under
this title.
President Powers sent a letter to the
board, in which he gave up the fight for
his organization, saying that the eastern
end had gone to the wall under financial
difficulties. He asked that the western pro-
moters be allowed to reserve their territor-
ial rights. and to be allowed to protect their
players under contract for the purpose of
reorganiZing under the title of the Ameri-
can Association.
The circuit proposed includes Louisville.
indianapolis. Fort Wayne, Dayton, Column
bus Mansfield and Detroit Grand Rapids
or Milwaukee, If this scheme cannot be
brought about successfully, it is probabl
that Indianapolis and Louisville will be TAX
en- into the Western League.
President Powers said last night that
Rogers was to blame for the death of his
association, and declared the terms of the
lease for the Philadelphia grounds 'out-
rageous.'
Some of the promoters have sunk a lot
of money in this thing he said, land they
have valuable holdings. These can be pro-
tected by the formation of an American As
ISOLATION in the west entirely. ] am glad
the league has consented to hold matters
in allegiance for the present at least"
The application of the Eastern League for
protection with its original membership
under the national agreement was granted.
The board refused to grant the application
of the Connecticut League to use other than
the regulation league ball in championship
games. The Chicago club was awarded the
services of Outfielder T. l.. HartZell
against the claim of the Cincinnati club for
the player. President Hart of Chicago an
nounced that Jack Doyle had affixed his
signature to a Chicago contract Doyle will
probably be captain. Freedman did not at
tend the session.

BOralma Against All.

Boralma, 2.0S, the great trotter, is to be
sent against the fastest horses in the
country, according to an announcement
made yesterday at Boston by his owner,
Thomas W. Lawson. He says he is pre-
pared to enter in a sweepstakes for any
amount up to $4,000 corner for free
for-all trotting race He wants the race to
be three heats in five, to harness, and to
take place over any grand circuit track,
and Lawson hopes that the owners of The
Abbott. 203A; Cresceus 2.04; Charlie Herr,
2.07 and other fast trotters will signify
their willingness to enter for the proposed
race.
Last season Mr.. Lawson raced Boralma
for charity. giving his earnings variously
to hospitals at Boston and Lexington, KY.

SHAMROCK II NEW DESIGN.
Nothing Like Ever Launched on This

GLASGOW, March 1.--Sir Thomas Lip

of the Associated Press that the Shamrock

To Re-Enter intercollegiate AssOcia-

ANN ARBOR, Mich, March michigan
has re-entered the intercollegiate Athletic
Association -(eastern) this year. after an alb
sence from membership dating back some
four years. The occasion of again entering
the games with the eastern colleges is the
prestige gained at Paris last summer and
the fact that in Dyorak 1t can send pre-
mier athlete. His record In the pole vault
is dangerously near the worlds record, held
by Clapp, a record which In practice he
has even bettered.
1t is almost a certainty that Dyorak will
be sent east at the time Of the games there,

and 1t is possible that other athletes may
accompany him. Armstrong; spraining his
ankle in the dual meet with Chicago will
probably keep him out of it, though his
record of over six feet in the high jump
would make him a likely team mate for
the pole vaulter.

Never has the fog been thicker In

was q day and night Of anxiety. In
the early hours the fog came up "as
thick as mnsh," and tonight it was
almost impossible to see a boats

The steam schoonersArctic ran down
the French bark Edmond Rost, and
in the early morning hours the En-.
cinal and Albatross came together in
the fog. Many q vessel had a narrow
escape and the fog signals were blown
IL all directions.
Most Of the ferry steamers escaped,
but one on two Of them got into trou-
BILE. The Tiburon had to make a
second attempt at her first landing.
The Encinal was nearly half an hour
reaching her dock and the Piedmont
had similar experience. The Oakland
and the San Rafael came very near
colliding when they reached this city
at 5 o'clock In the evening. Each boat
missed her slip, one going too high
and the other too low.

Arctic arrived from Nome and way
ports early in the morning. On her
way down the coast she stopped at
Astoria and after leaving the Colum-
bia river was caught in southeaster
and had "a very rough experience.
Making port in the fog, Captain Erick-
son decided that It was better to come
to anchor. The Arctic was according
" hove to and the anchor dropped.
When she swung with the tide, how
ever. she was right in under the quar-
ter OF the French ship Edmond Rost.
