LEAGUE MOGULS
AIR TROUBLES

New York Oct. 3O.-Tho discomfort over
existing conditions on the part OF cou-
pie OF leagues In the National Association
or Professional Baseball clubs came TO
official airing yesterday at the meeting
OF the National association. The dele
gates got down to the real issue and the
Rroceedings I,rss sni developed sharply drawn drawn
the present agreement which binds the
minor leagues and those who would moi.
They were alone I'm that desire. All OF
the other leagues-2f of them were pres
ent yesterday-were opposed. In connec-
ton with the question and having a
great deal TO do with II is the attitude OF
the major leagues in drafting and hold

that scarce I'm the minor league market
Everybody had his hand 20 his ear yes
terday when j. ID. OBrien, president OF
the. American association. I'm accordance
with resolution adopted last sunday,
made the following demands on behalf OF
his association:
That the Pacific Coast league. South
ern league and Western league be re-
duced to class r.; that the national board
OF arbitration be reduced to Ave men,
bers. one of them to be a representative
OF the American association. one OF the
Eastern league, two Representatives OF
the league lower than class A. and the
nth to be allotted by the Representa-
tives OF the American association and
Eastern league: that all meetings of the
National association hereafter be held I'm
Chicago.
When these bold demands had been
made known vigorous discussion followed
Class at present Is composed of five
leagues, American association, Eastern
league and the three that the two want
reduced. Frank Leonard of the Lynn,
Mass, club, said he failed to see how
any benefits would result from the pro-
posed changes Judge Kavanaugh, presi-
dent OF the Southern league. opposed the

other things, that the Southern league

President Powers vacated the chair and
In behalf of the Eastern league spoke of
the evils of farming and drafting. o Brien
in support of Ills demands said his league
suffered from the wholesale drafting
from other leagues, and that IL could not
find sufficient players to purchase. Sew
eral remedies were proposed by different
delegates. One was that the American
and Eastern league drafting season open
at the same time as the majors. another
that an anti-farmng law be adopted
When the O'Brien resolutions came up
for action they were laid on the table,

CRIMSON IN
STRENUOUS PRACTICE

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 31.-Harvards
Varsity team was driven hard yesterday
afternoon, the practice ending with a Is
minute scrimmage against the Freshmen
eleven, which the Varsity won 10 to o.
The work was ragged and the offence
lacked power. Once i'm while the line
men would pull the backs along for good
gains, Burr and Inches being especially in
evidence at this, but in the main there
was little team work.
Wendell was the Narsity's best ground
gainer He ran hard and hit the line we'll.
He was at fullback yesterday. with Hand
and Gilbert as halfbacks. The Varsity
again showed great weakness in handling
punts. Starr was the chief offender. All
the 'Varsity's line plays worked for good
gains against the Freshmen. who were
unable to stop the older men.
The Freshmen could not gain at all by
rushing and had to rely on the excellent
puntng OF Cutler, their fullback. The
feature of the scrimmage was the fast
work OF Corbett and Rodgers. the FRESH
men ends. who outplayed their opponents
on the Varsity in every department OF
the game. The early part of the practice
was largely devoted to practicing kick
ing formation. The Crimson has had too
many kicks blocked of late to suit the
coaches, who are determined to remedy
this fault.
The summoning of Lieut.. Graves. the
former West Point tackle. to help coach
the Harvard line men was an interesting
innovation.

N M'G|LVARY AFTER
FAST POLO MEN

Manager Nick McGilvary OF the Provis
dence Roller Polo club has left for tho
West as an agent OF the National Roller
Polo league TO secure players for this
circuit While the Grays are well fixed
in regard TO players. some OF the other
clubs on the circuit are not, and IL was
for this reason that McGilvary has been
sent on a tour through the Interstate
league.
The Grays' manager wasanothing loath
10 accept a chance as IL will give him an
opportu unity to land Eddie Higgins, who
is now playing with Youngstown for the
local team. Every club on both circuits
Is after the service OF the former Provi-
dence boy, as he is one Of the greatest
rushers In the game today. and I'm fact
there have been but a very few men who
have earned a niche I'm polo's temple of
fame that had anything on Eddie.
President Joseph McKenna OF the local
club was first requested to act for the
national circuit In this matter. but as hts
interests here required constant attention
and IL was 30 close TO the opening of the
season he declined the offer, which then
reverted to Mc0ilvary. There is no ques-
tion that Nick is as capable man as the
league could find for this quest. He
knows every man in the game, they all
know him and he is popular with the
boys.
Telegrams have been received from sew
eral who are now starring with the inter-
state teams, announcing that they will be
on hand for the initial contests OF the ma
tional clubs.
Immediately following the temporary
lapse of nerve by Ed Galligan which
caused him 10 throw up the Boston fran
chise last Thursday the league board
made an effort to have President McKen-
ma take the Boston club, but he could
not see where he would gain anything by
II. and decided to stick to his Providence
interests. BY Sunday Galligan had
thought better OF the Hub prospects.
made a bid for reinstatement and failed.
The Park Square rink proprietors, I'm
company with a couple OF other men
whom McKenna and Chairman Hanna OF
the finance committee interested In the
club. are now financing the Boston quin-
tet
1t probably will be found impossible to
play the opening Boston game until Nov.
!, as the rink may not be ready In time.

ACTOR HITCHCOCK
HAS DISAPPEARED

New York, Oct s1.-A general police
alarm was sent out last night for the ar
rest of Raymond Hitchcock, the actor,
against whom the grand jury returned
ak indictments for criminal assault and
abduction. after hearing the testimony
of three little girls
The order, which required the officers
to watch all outgoing trains and steam
ers described the indicted man as about
10 years OF age, with light hair and blue
eyes.
Hitchcock was recently arrested on a
similar charge and after preliminary ex-
animation in police court was released
under $4,000 bonds pending a further hear
ing. The girls. Elsie Voecks, Helen
Won Hagen and Flora Wishton, aged from
u to 10 years. who had figured in the
original case, were taken before the
indictments were returned.
Hitchcock has been starring at q Broad
way theatre. but did not appear At the
matinee, and IL was stated that he had
been dropped from the cast. His UNDER
study. Wallace Beery, who had never APP
peared. except In the chorus, assumed the
leading role.
Recently Hitchcock caused the arrest
OF brother OF the voecks sirl. who. he
alleged. had attempted to extort money
from him on a threat OF causing the
publication OF matter rejecting upon the
actor. Friends of Voecks and others in
terested I'm the case then brought the
action which resulted In Hltchcock's ar
rest.

NATALIE SCHENCK
OBTAINS DIVORCE

New York. Oct. Si.--A Newport inter-
national romance was ended yesterday in
New York, when an interlocutory decree
OF divorce was granted by Supreme Court
Justice Davis TO Mrs. Natalie Schenck
Collins from her husband, Charles Glen

IN FINE
SHAPE FOR BATTLE

Every effort is being put forth at Brown
TO round out a victorious team for next
Saturdays big game with the Crimson
men, and yesterdays showing BODIES i'll
for the sons OF John Harvard The men
are I'm the best possible condition and ap-
pear to have come out OF their slump of
last week.
Spike" Dennie was giving the signals
and pushed the men TO the limit. IL these
signals can be thoroughly mastered II will
add greatly to Browns chances against
Harvard. Unfamiliarity with the signals
has been the cause of holding the team
back so far this season, and every effort
will be made to remedy this fault.
After the usual preliminary practice of
running down under punts, falling on the
ball and running through signals. the
Varsity lined UP against the Freshmen
for 15-minute scrimmage.
By snappy, aggressive work the Var
sity scored three times. Mayhem, Reg
nier and Dennie contributed long runs and
both the outside kick and the forward
pass were used to advantage. The Var
sity team took the ball on the l0-yard
line to try mass play. They were able TO
shove it over almost at will,~ Mcdonald
carrying the ball most of the time.
The Freshmen were given the ball on
the same line and the Varsity played on
the defence. Although the number OF
downs was not counted. the youngsters
were able to put the ball over the line
several times. Twice Mckay broke
through the line. twice gaining the entire
10 yards at one play Weakness on the de-
fence is the one unsatisfactory point In
the Brown eleven's play and the next few
DAYS will undoubtedly be devoted in O
large part in remedying this flaw. The
practice on the whole showed a decided
Improvement and things are beginning to
look bright for Brown.

HITCH IN Melody
M|NIELL BOUT

Dayton. O., Oct. 30--There is slight
hitch In the Melody Mintell bout, which
is to take place here on Friday evening.
Melody and Mooney say that Honey will
not meet Mintell IL the latter Is half
pound over weight, and insists on having
a Cincinnati man referee the mill.
The club has refused TO allow any other
than its regular referee to enter the ring
with the boxers. AS far as the weight is
concerned Mintell will make IL easy as
he is down to 1A now and feels strong.
The Rhode Islander said:
IT don't care who referees, for I will
save him the bother OF deciding the go
before IL ever reaches the Goth round"
Word has been received here that Mel
lody left New York for this city on Tues
day evening.
The betting on the bout is not as brisk
as IL was a week ago, and there is very
little Melody money in sight.
