NATIONAL ASSOCIATION MEETS.
Minor Leagues May Break With the
Majors

Delegates representing twentyfour mi
nor leagues, comprising the National Asso-
citation of Professional Base Ball Clubs, OF
which P. T. Powers is president, began a
three days session at the Hotel Victoria,
New York, today.
Every part of the Union was represented
at the meeting, for which an elaborate pro-
gram has been laid out by committee of
Eastern League magnates including au-
tomobie rides, a trip in the subway and
President Powers annual banquet.
The delegates have important business to
transact and their deliberations may end
In a parting of the ways between the Ma
tional and American Leagues on one side
and the minor leagues on the other. The
national base ball commission, of which
Garry Hermann of Cincinnati is chairman
and president. Ban Johnson of the Ameri-
can League and President Harry c. Pull
liam of the National League are associate
members, recently made a decision which
is considered arbitrary and illegal by the
minor leaguers and they have refused to
submit to it.
To this the national commission answered
that unless all of the findings of the COM
mission are respected by all parties to the
national agreement it would not only be
useless for US to continue further in our
work, but absolutely folly to attempt to
do So"
The National Association claims to be
the article which creates the national
commission. 1t reads: "a commission OF
three, to be known the national COM
mission, is hereby created with power to
construe and carry out the terms and pro-
visions of this agreement, excepting when
it pertains to the internal affairs OF the Ma
tional Association"
The minors claim the national commits
sion has interfered in their internal at
fairs. They resent the idea of three men
being the dictators of twenty-four strong
organizations controlling nearly 5000 ball
players.
Following leagues are members Of the
National Association:
The Eastern League, the Western
League. the American Association, the
New York State League. the Indiana, Iowa
and Illinois League, the Southern League,
the New England League, the Pacific Ma
tionai League, the Connecticut State
League the Central League, the South
Texas League, the Cotton States League,
the Missouri Valley League, the Texas
League the Iowa-South Dakota League,
the Northern League. the Kentucky ILL
nois-Tennessee League, Hudson River

WORK OF BIG FOUR TEAMS.
Tigers Looking After Their Defense
Line

Princeton's practice yesterday on univer-
sity campus was conducted behind closed
gates. The work of the varsity was, on the
whole, encouraging. Special attention was
given to strengthening the defense, which
proved so weak in Saturdays game with
Lehigh. The result in that struggle might
have been very serious had Lehigh been
even an ordinarily strong team. but even
as 1t was the fact that the visitors made
ten first downs somewhat alarmed the
coaches
Improvement was shown at left guard, as
Dillon at last is back in the game in Wal
lers place General relief is expressed at
his return, as the part of the line that
was formerly so weak will now present a
solid front. The varsity offense was, as
usual, fairly good. resulting in one touch
down, though such a result does not ap-
pear WELL in consideration of the fact that
the halves were twenty minues each. The
ball was. however, kept well in the scrub
territory.
Miller did poor work in ground gain
ing, while in lively contrast McCormic <
was almost always successful smashing
through for some long gains Burke, who
has not played since the Annapolis game
on account of injuries, was out in his toys
again, but he took no part in the scrim-
mage. Kink is still on the sick list. and
there seems little prospect Of his being
able to do any more work this season. He
appears to be overturned.

son Monday went at Grant with rush
and caught him by the throat. Grant then
struck at him. and Monday returned the
blow. At this stage of the fistic exhibition
three police officers stepped into the ring
and arrested the men. Referee OConnor
stated that the bout had been given to
Grant on foul.
Grant had the advantage in weight and
skill, he weighing about 152 and the visitor

that he had not had enough experience to
withstand the different holds which Grant
used. Several times he managed to break
double Nelson's and hammerlocl1. but
Grant secured scissor and quarter Nelson
which he could not break, and thus won
the first fall.
There were several good preliminaries
preceding the main bout. The first was be-
tween Archie Murray and Frank Morris.
the former winning the fall in 8 minutes.
The second was between Jack Spalding and
Bert Cohen, best two out of three falls.
Spalding took the aggressive and threw
Cohen In So second for the first fall. In the
second he used a hammerlock hold and
placed his shoulders on the mat in min
utes and % seconds.
HendIey and Boulder put up two good
bouts. Boulder. who looked more like a
skeleton than a wrestler. put his stronger
looking opponent to the mat In minutes
and IS seconds for the first fall. and the
second was won by him in about two min
utes.

CLOSE MATCH PROBABLE

The final team match for The Evening
Star cup is being played this afternoon
between the Chevy Chase and Columbia
Golf Club teams on the course of the lat
ter. Both teams have defeated the Wash
ington team twice in the spring and fall
series, and the Chevy Chase team has one
defeat on the Columbia team in the spring
series. The match this afternoon will de-
eide whether the handsome trophy now in
the parlors of the Columbia Golf Club
house, will remain there or be carried over
to the Chevy Chase Club for another year.
The continued improvement of the
Chevy Chase golfers during the past year
has been marked as to attract attention
of all the close followers of the sport in
the District, and their representative team
this afternoon is about as strong an aggre-
cation as has ever represented the popular
country club on the field. The wiseacres
have figured it out that the Chevy Chase
team is about 10 per cent stronger than
that of Columbia, but this advantage is
offset on account of the match being played
on the Columbia course, and the result
should be one of the closest contests that
has ever been pulled off on either of the
local courses. All the members of the
Chevy Chase and Columbia clubs have
been talking about this match for the past
month and those who have, been lucky
enough to be selected for the teams have
been urged to do their best in the way Of
preparing for the event.
When Chevy Chase defeated Columbia
last spring, II to s. the team was without
the services of Mr.. Oden Horstmann or
Mr.. George Lafferty. both of whom played
| today, replacing Messrs Peter and Phillips
Messrs. Horstmann and Lafferty class up
| with the best golfers in the District. and
| the fact that they would be with Chevy
| Chase this afternoon increased consider
ably that organizations chances of win
ming. The only new man on the Columbia
team was Mr.. James Baird, who replaced
A. E. Lard.
The members of the two teams began
gathering at the Columbia course as early
as o'clock, although it was not expected
that the match would start before 2, and
with the players came groups of from a
half to a dozen enthusiasts until fully
three hundred spectators made up the gall
lery when play began.
The weather was all that could be asked
the wind from the south not being strong
enough to effect the driving and just cool
enough to Offset the warm rays of the
sun. The Columbia. course was in prime
condition the greens being especially true
and beautiful to look at.
The two teams lined up as follows:

There is no fluke about a blocked kick.
1t takes skill of a rare order for any man

There is some balm in Saturdays defeat
for Yale at West Point. Harvard was not
able to penetrate the army defense. for a
touchdown, but the Yale offense was strong
enough to score once.
Mr. Roraback will have to be more care
full. He let Short through on Mitchell in
the Princeton game last year, and then

Capt Daniel Hurley is the half-back of

He uses no protecting headgear and very
little padding in his foot ball clothes.

STRONG PITCHING CORPS.
Pacific Coast League Has Great Bunch
of Twirlers.

The Pacific Coast Base Ball League can
boast OF corps of pitchers that is unrl-
vailed in any other minor organization in
America. Every team now struggling for
the pennant in the far west Is well equip

talent being Overall, Newton, Buchanan
and Cofbett.
These four men have made wonderful rec
ords this season, and their careers have
been stamped by some singular perform
ance or other. Overall Is given credit for
winning the pennant for the first half of
the season for the Tacoma Tigers, and his
great work had the effect OF causing the
Cincinnati managers to grab him up eager

pitchers In the business today, but. like all

Harvard began to improve her offense
for the Pennsylvania foot ball game next
Saturday in her practice at Cambridge yes
terday. A strong second eleven was Or

urge them to stronger efforts. The result
was that the varsity had hard time gain

and snappy. but the results not especially
encouraging.
The second eleven took the ball on downs
twice and the varsity fumbled once on
the 1-yard line. Inside the 10-yard line the
