FLANAGAN TO PLAY
 WITH ABERDEEN.

President Bristol of the Meriden league base hall club has just received word frotn Secretary J. H. Farrell of f1e National association of Minor Leagues that James Flanagan, the err ratic outfielder Of the local team, must play there or not at all,
 This effecfualiy settles the case of Steamer who declared that he did not belong to the Meriden club and would not play here again under any conditions. As it is now he must either play here. secure q regular TO, lease from the local mana cement or not play in any league
 Secretary Farrell's decision is that if n player is rendered a, contract by a club and refuses to sign he is held by that club until he does sign, provided he has played with the club. Flanagan played there and belongs to the Meri. den club. It Is not likely that he will be given a, release from Meriden owing to the manner in which he has treatea the management. He may be sold to another club in this league, the man. ager of which is now negotiating for him

FATAL YEAR FOR
 THE OARsfEN.,

A review ofsthe season Of 1908 shows that the Stern reaper Death gathered to himself many men prominent In aquatic sport on both sides of tna ~zt@ iant1c. One Of fhe most prominent 0fF' those who have sssolved the great rnys~ terry in Ameriea was Christian Gaor& Petersen, who served several terms on the regatta committee of the National Association Of Amateur 0arS1ae1a, and in his quiet way helped the game along He was a member Of the New Yorlz| A. G. silce 1885. and thoueh Gs years of age when he died, up to about al year ago he journeyed to Tras3rs Island st least three times week anu took a row on the Sound Retersen1 had shell of his own, and he had this, periodically varnished and kept in thag smoothest shA pc He came 10 thiaI country Tn ls44 from Denmark. and zf1 the civil war served with the Sevent1sa regiment.
 Another man who passed away auA who was we'll known to the folloTerxl of rowing about forty years ago, was3 Josh Ward, one Of the brofhera famed for handling the ashen hlades3 His victories in the early days were numerous, and the entrance of thea Ward brothers in any rowing race Eyaa' synonymous with success.
 Tn England the death roll has been. greater, but it is impossible fo give as' complete list. Foremost. howeFery however. were IT. IF. Wright, one Of the founders of the Marlpw regatta. and F Hanbury, the old Corpus college oarsman and coach. Then there were the Rev P. ".

THE NHEELMlEN.
ANOTHER BIG ROW
 IS VERY LIKELY.

Another row over the control of cycle racing is in prospect for the gentle springtime. The League of American Wheelmen. from which the control Of racing was wrested few years ago by the National Cycling As sociation, has concluded that it would like to dabble iii the sport again. At leask the New York state division of the organization has so decided and this contingent now rules the league.
 The national assembly of the L. A. W. is to be held in Boston on Feb 10, and. New York will there present 8 new constitution and set of bylaws. Tn the first article of the constitution the objects of the orga nization are set forth and one of them is Ito encourage and promote amateur cycle contests under the rules and regulations of the Amateur Athletic Union.
 Thus the N. c. A. is ignored as the controlling body, although there is an agreement of cooperation between the N. C.. A. and A. A. U.
 When the chairman of the board of control of the N. q. A. was asked what he thought of the scheme lse said that if tho L. A. W. wanted to hold races under N. c. A. sanction it would have no trouble doing so, but if 1t really attempted to go ahead on its own hook it would ind plenty of trouble ready for it. He secuted the idea as absurd that the L. A. W. so long inactive. could at this day make any effective effort to regain control of even amateur racing.
 The racing proposition is not the only novel one in the new constitution. It is a completely revised instrument that will, If adopted, effect reorgani- zation of the league. 1t is proposed to have the president serve for two years instead of one and to have the initiation fees and dues constitute a permanent fund.- that cannot be touched for any purpose. This fund will be invested and only the interest can be used for the running expenses. Another radical change is the reintro- duction of te word white into the membership clause so that it reads: "Any white person of good character may become member of this associa- tion.'' The word "white." which bars negroes from membership, was strick- en from the constitution some years ago after a tremendous row.
 As the L. A. W. is now practically controlled by a New York coterie, it is expected that the reorganization will be effected.

BASE: BALL.
PLAYER MANA
 GERS LUCKY.
Base Ball History However Gives the Palm to Bench hanagers-Other Ball News.

The season of 1908 in base ball was conspicuous for the success of the player manager. The Pittsburgs won the pennant in the National league and the Bostons in the American league. and the respective managers of these two teams, Clark and Collins, are both player managers. The Jersey City team, champion of the Eastern league, had a bench manager. William Murray, and the New York Nationals and the Philadelphia Americans, both of which nnished second. had bench manager, McGraw and Mack, respectively.
 Recent base ball history shows the bench manager to be much more in evi- dence both in number and winning pennants than the player manager From 1892 to 1903 inclusive, the bench managers team has won the National league pennant nine times to the play CT mana ager's three. Selee and his Bos- tons won in 1892 '93, '97 and '9S, Han lon and his Baltin1ores in 1894, '95 and '96, Ha1llon and his Brooklyns in 1899 and 1900, and Clarke and his Pitts burgs in 1901. 'O2 and '0S If the Pitts burgs win the pennant again this year 8. player mana ger will have established the record Of four consecutive pen nants. In the American league. Grif-. fifth, a player manager. won the pen riant in 1901; Mack, a bench manager, in 1902. and Collins, q player manager. in 1.08.
 Bench managers predominated in 1908, with i've in each of the big leagues, and three player managers in each, as follows, the teams being given. In the order of their finish:
 National league-Pittsburg Clarke, p. m.; New York. McGraw, b. n.; Chi cago. Selee, b. m; Cincinnati, Kelley, D. rn.: Brooklyn, Hanlon, b. m,; Boston, Bsickenb berger, D. m., Philadelphia, zimmAr, b. ra.; St Louis, Donovan D.. m.

Sport in Porto Rico.

The idea which once prevailed among Americans in Porto Rico that northern outdoor sports such as base ball, tennis, etc, could not be sue cessfully introduced into Porto Rica is now waning. The Americans have virtually made baseball the national outdoor sport of Porto Rico, as it has been for a long time in the United States. Tennis tournaments are being held, and football, cycling and other snarts have been tried to some extent,
