GAVIN is NAMED AS
BUSINESS MANAGER
Former Boston Man to Guide the New
York Americans.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-Joseph
Gordon, president of the New York
American league baseball club, has
appointed Joseph Gavin, former busi-
ness manager of the Boston American
league club, to similar position with
the club in this city Gavin will occu-
py permanent quarters on Washington
Heights.
If George Davis joins the New York
National league for practice, Harry
Pulliam, president of the organization,
will make a formal statement as to the
formal stand the National league will
that Davis will be allowed to play un-
less. he goes about the task of secur-
ing his release from Chicago, as re-
quired by baseball law.
1t is again reported here that the con-
troll of the New York National league
baseball club will probably be sold.
John I. Brush, president of the club,
it is believed, contemplates selling his
interest. Barney Dreyfuss, president
Of the PittSburg club, has been nego-
tiating with the owners, and it is ru-
mored the men are close to an agree
ment. Dreyfuss Is 7he prominent fig
ure in National league affairs, and a
few weeks ago, when he effected the
sale Of the Philadelphia club, he pre-
dicted that a greater baseball surprise
would follow in a few weeks. It is now
believed that the purchase of the New
York club is the surprise promised by
Dreyfuss.
Frederick Knowles, secretary of the
New York club, said this morning that
he was not aware that any negotia-
tions were being made for the sale of
the club.

CHECK BABIES

Columbus Club to Care for
Infants While Parents
Are Interested.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 18.-To T.
J. Bryce, president of the Columbus
American association team, must be
given credit for possessing a quality
OF gray matter A No. /. Realizing
that this is the day of false gods in
sports as well as in other things, Mr..
Bryce has set out to keep the faith of
the coming generation pinned to the
only right and true.
Bryce is to add a nursery to his ball
park. A room to be fitted up under
the grandstand for the accommoda-
tion of those of too tender years to
know the exceeding joy of a home-run
SWipe or the tanning out of an oppos-
ing batsman with the bases full
While above there will be the noise
Of the leather-lunged and, also, of the
Velvet-lunged, the clapping of hands,
both horny and fair, and the general
pandemOnium that results from an is
sue successfully met, below there will
be colored supplements, blocks, toy en-
gines and nipples and a white-aproned
goYerneSs to wipe away tears and fur
nish goo-goo talk.
Bryce's motto is not altogether new.
1t is: Give me the mothers of the
city, and L care not what betide." Phil
osophers, religious zealots and warriors
have used the same motto with sue
cess. Who would see the game fall
into decay. argues Bryce, with the
mothers clamoring for its retention?
The babies room" has been tried in
nearly every sort of amusement places.
Churches have 1t, theaters have it, the
Worlds fair had it, and everywhere
1t has proved a big success. The base

SIR THOMAS LIPTON'S
NEW BOAT CRITICISED
Yacht AHoat Confirms Previous Good
Opinions of II.

GLASGOW, March 18.-The pom
toons on which Shamrock Ill was
launched yesterday were removed this
afternoon. The yacht afioat confirms
previous good opinions Of it. The.
doubts whether it would turn on the
excessively short keel were partly al
layed. 1t came accurately to the bow
floating marks and under its counter
the water just Tapped the first water
line. While in motion it was remarked
that the challenger moved smoothly
and easily. The spars have been
brought from Dennys yard, and will be
stepped tomorrow. They have many
remarkable features. Mr.. Fife has
adopted a high, narrow sail plan. The
Shamrock's steel mainmast is of ap-
preciably less diameter than any pre-
vious spar, and the gaff and boom pos
sess the same characteristic, promising
a great advantage IN reducing wind
wage. The mainmast and topmast,
which are in one. are shorter than
those of Shamrock II. This decrease,
which is principally in the topmast,
is made UP by the immense topsail
yard, built Of hollow steel. When set
this will give the desired height with
the valuable feature of not being tax
ed in the yachts measurement under
the New York Yacht club rules.

RYAN is HOLDING OUT
FOR 154-POUND LIMIT
Middeweight Champion Willing to De-
fend Title at This Weight.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 18.-
The re-entrance Of FitzsimInons into
the middleweight division has raised
the question again of what Is the max
fmum weight of this division. Tommy
Ryan, who claims the middleweight
championship, says that 154 pounds Is
the limit in this division, and he ful =
ther says that at this weight he will
defend his title against the world, Fitz>
simmons included.
Technically speaking, Ryan is right.
The old division of weights put the
maximum for the middles at 154
pounds, and the raising of this maxi
mum to 15S pounds has been sanction
ed by custom and nothing else. There
is nothing in pugilistic literature to
warrant this increased weight.
Yet the fact that for the last ten
years 15S pounds has been recognized
as the line between the middles and
heavies, makes it almost /captious for
a fellow like Ryan to stand out now for
the old weight.
After all, custom makes the ruiS3
and there is no doubt that If another
authorized scale of weights were made
out, the middleweight limit would be
put at 158 pounds, for this is the
weight that nearly all of the present
day crop Of fighters recognize as the
proper weight.
Ryan says that FitZsimmons won the
middleWeight championship from Jack
Dempsey at 154 pounds. which is true,
and that he should be willing to de-
fend his title at this weight. There is
a suspicion of the yellow" in Ryan's
talk. 1t is true that he is the lightest
Of the middleweight division of fight
ers, yet FitZsimmons is the only man
against whom he stood out for a re-
turn TO the old middleweight limit.

YOUNG CORBETT
is OFFENDED
McGovern's Claims Arouse
the Featherweight
Champion.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. March 49,
The illfeeling between Terry MCCOY
ern and Young Corbett, a striking in
stance of which was afforded by Cor
belts refusal one night last week to
shake hands in q sporting resort here,
is growing every day. Sports are con-
hdent that when the men get in the
ring they will fight as no two men ever
fought for mere purse 1t will be
like F1tZSimmons and Corbett, or Cor
bett and Jeffries. The antagonism is
mutual Terry is very sore over his
defeat and he takes occasion to can
attention to Corbett's poor showing
here with Hanlon and to cite that as
proof of Corbett's victory over him
self was due to fluke. "Corbett" de-
spises McGovern because he thinks
Terry has violated the ethics of cham
pionshipdom by saying unkind and un>
called for things. The particular re-
mark that stung Young Corbett" to
the quick was the remark that the
Denverite would not agree to box on
March 81 if he had not been desirous
of avoiding Jimmy Britt
Corbett is in the pink of condition
already, as he did not suffer any from
the fight with Hanlon and he simply
took UP training again where ne left
off. He is down in weight, through
hard road work, and there will be no
repetition of dangerous reduction in
the last twelve hours which weakened
him for Hanlon's fight.
McGOYern is also in fine trim, but
another week will do great things for
him. Everyone who sees him box or
run says he is again in his old form.

FLOODS IMPRISON
PASSENGERS
New and Serious Develop.
ments in Tennessee and
Arkansas.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. March 1S.1The
flood situation tonight shows new and
serious developments and there is
scarcely ray Of hope for improved
conditions yet except the fact that the
tributaries of the Mississippi to the
north of Memphis are reported to be
falling. One of the most serious devel-
opments Of the last twenty-four hours
is the washing out of all lines of rail-
road entering the city from the west
and the complete tying up OF railroad
traffic through the Memphis gateway
to that section.
So sudden did the rise Come in the
section of Arkansas across the river
from Memphis, after the st. Francis
levee broke at Trices landing, that
two passenger trains were caught be-
tween washed out points and are now
surrounded by water on blind tracks
three miles west of Bridge Junction,
Ark. Aboard these trains were about
70 passengers and crews, each, and to-
night over 100 Of these persons remain
on the trains with no prospect Of be-
ing taken off until tomorrow. How
ever, they are not considered to be in
danger.
The river tonight shows 3e.8 feet on
gauge, the highest stage ever recorded
and rise Of 2 since last night. Some
persons were rescued from Marion,
Ark, by means Of sl1iffs and the stu
alton there is somewhat relieved. Eight
white families and fully 200 negroes
remain there in the second stories of
buildings. The flooded portion of the
city has grown considerably with the
advance of the river today
SPRING VALLEY, Wis, March 49,
Very heavy rains last night caused
floods on all the small rivers. At Mar
tell, on the Rush river, mill dam went
out, taking three men, two Of whom
were rescued. Leon Gasman was
drowned, and Henry Gasman is badly
hurt. Five railroad bridges are out
between here and Elmwood, a distance
of eight miles. The roads are almost
impassable.

at a Woman's Meeting.

PHILADELPHIA. March 1S.-One
OF the meetings incidental to the an

bore the Mormon declaration of prin-
clples. The card was passed to Mrs.
E. w. Buckley, president of the soCl,ty,
who announced the presence Of Nor

Latter Becoming Exasperated in Mat

LONDON. March 18.-The corre-

Constantinople states that United
States Minister Leishman is still vain
ly waiting for an audience of the sui
tan to deliver President ROosevelt's au-
tograph letter on the American claims
regarding the missionary schools in
Armenia and other matters. In re-
sponse to Minister Leishman's press
ing demand, Tewfik Pasha, the foreign
minister, promised that the sultan
would receive the minister after the
celebration at Bairam, but the festival
passed and Mr.. Leishman Is becaming
exasperated. 1t would not be sur
prising, adds the correspondent, should
the sultan continue the delay, If Ameri-
can warships were ordered to Turkish
waters.

NOT QUITE ENOUGH RYE
FOR THE CONSERVATIVES
They Suffer a Crushing Reverse at a Bye
Election.

LONDON. March 1S.-The Conserva-
tives have suffered a crushing reverse
in the Rye division of Sussex. where a
bye election was held yesterday for q
successor to A. NJ. Brookfeld, Conserva-
tive, who has been appointed British con-
sui at Montevideo. The result was the
return Of c. F. Hutchison, Liberal, by q
majority of 534 over Edward Boyle, Con-
servative. Mr.. Hutchinson, who ap-
pealed to the electors as a critic of the
governments whole policy, obtained over
1000 more votes than he did in 1900
when he opposed Mr. Broollfeld, while
the Conservative vote fell off about
The result Of the election has caused
great satisfaction to the members of the
opposition In parliament. this being the
first gain of an important seat since the
Liberals took up definite attitude in the
army controversy. There was much talk
in the lobby of the house of commons
about the moral effect this and the
Woo1wich reverse would have on the gov
ernment. 1t is safe, however, to say
that the situation, SO far as the govern
ment programme is concerned, will not be
changed.
