ATHLETIC RELATIONS
MAY Be RESUMED
Dartmouth to Send Repre-
sentatiVes to Hold Con-
ference With Brown.

PROVIDENCE, May 10.-As the re-
suit OF a meeting of the governing board
Of the Brown University Athletic Asso-
citation. held yesterday afternoon. It is
probable that a conference may be held
with representatIya Of Dartmouth Col
lege with a View 20 patching up athletic
relations. which Brown broke OF about
two weeks ago.
The action OF the board in breaking on
with Dartmouth has been roundly criti-
cised by prominent alumni and by the
press.
SkilleE's action in Withdrawing the
Dartmouth team from the field because
he disagreed with decision Of Umpire
Lanlgan is condemned here, but II is
felt by the alumni that even with the
additional charges of unspOrtsmanlike
conduct on prior occasions on the part
Of Dartmouth students the action OF
the board was over hasty.
Consequently, pressure has been
brought to bear or the undergraduates
board. which governs Brown athletics
and which took the step that Is causing
so much comment here, 70 formulate a
plan for talking the matter over with
the official board Of athletics OF Dart
mouth.
Prof. Fred W. Marvel, physical d.
rector Of Brown, said last night that
such a conference would be satisfactory
10 him. No action was taken at yester-
days meeting. but the board viii be
called together again today and at that
time Il Is believed some step toward a
conference will be taken.

the score that Siler was too old a man
TO handle a couple Of young huskies like
Burns and Squires.

compromise and Reynolds promptly said:

KID CUTLER FAILS
TO THROW TURNER
Washington Mans Clever
ness Too Much for BIG
Wrestler.

Joe Turner accomplished what no
other Washington wrestler has been
able to do when he stayed fifteen min
utes with Kid Cutler, who is sparring
partner for John L. Sullivan, at the
Lyceum Theater last night
Cutler has been downing all the Crap
lers who have met him since his stay
here. in a few minutes. but last night he
struck a tartar.
Although OUtweighed by more than
fifty pounds. Turner proved a slippery
customer. He was roughly handled by
the bigger man, but his cleverness en-
abled him TO get out Of several tight
places.
Cutler was not in the best OF con-
diJion, and after the men had wrestled
for ten minutes he began 10 breathe
hard. Also Cutler is none too clever at
tbs mat game. His principal reliance
is strength, but last night he met a man
who understands the game better than
he does. This was demonstrated three
times, when Cutler secured crotch holds.
but could not pin Turner's shoulders
10 the mat.

SUPERSTITION CAUSES
DEAL IN TRl-STATE

WILMINGTON, Del, May 10.-The
slump which Wilmington has taken has
made Manager. Connolly superstitious,
and for this reason he intends to trade
Outhelder Vinson for Outfielder McFar-
land, held by the York club.
Although VinsOn has been playing
good ball for Wilmington, Connolly
claims that most of the teams he has
played with have finished last in the
race, while Mcfarland has played with
a number of pennant winners, in fact,
nearly all of them have finished first,
and for this reason he has agreed TO a
trade with Manager Wiegand.
Mcfarland IS living In this city and is
proprietor of the Wilmington Bowling
Academy Owing TO his business he re-
fused to play with York at the opening
Of the season, and asked 10 be allowed
to pley with Wilmington. This the York
manager refused to- do, but finally
agreed 10 trade him for Vinson, with
the result that the deal Is about TO be
consuEmated.

SALISBURY HAD
STRONG STABLE
Death of the "Kingmaker"
Recalls an Interesting
Career.

PHILADELPHIA, May lO-The death
of the veteran, Monroe Salisbury, the
Kingmaker," removes from the light
harness horse world one of its most
familiar and picturesque figures. For
years past the stable which Salisbury
brought East from California has fur
nished n series of champions whose
achievements brought 10 their manager
the title Of "the Kingmaker" an ap-
Pellation which he deserved more than
any other trainer of harness horses
Salisbury began life in the West, and
in the days Of the early sixties was the
manager of the pony express which
carried supplies to the great Northwest,
then occupied by savages. As che rail-
roads began to push their way into this
vast unknown, Salisbury abandoned the
pony express" and engaged in the con-
tracing business. He furnished the
supplies for many a mile Of the Union
and Central Pacific railroads, and when
these lines were completed TO the lateral
stage lines connecting the various grow
ing settlements and mining camps. IN
this business Salisbury engaged with
great success. at one time his mail con-
tracts covering 5000 miles and require
ing an army OF men and horses. He
also was actively connected with mer-
camille and banking business, operating
gold and silver mines, and built two
lines OF railroad
All through his life Salisbury carried
an inherent love for the light harness
horse At first IL manifested itself only

his earlier roadsters We're Bateman,

the supreme baseball body.
These sporting writers should have
studied the Stahl case, and then they
would not have made a sad mistake.
There was no question OF baseball law
decided in the decision of the National
Commission auent Stahls appeal. Stahl
claimed that certain letters and verbal
statements Of the Washington officials
could only be construed as positive per-
mission for him TO play elsewhere this
season as a reward for his work IN
building up the Capital team. The Of
ficials said they never meant any such
thing. The commission studied this
simple question of fact and gave a
compromise verdict, said Washington
must sell or dispose Of Stahl In a
week, in accordance with what the
commission thought had been promised
him.
Where do Donlin and the others who
are merely kicking on a question of
salary, or have a personal crouch
against the management. come in on
that ruling?
1t is hard TO see how Tommy Burns
can be blamed for embarrassing Jack
O'Brien on Wednesday night in Los
Angeles. The argument is advanced
that Burns should have pinned on his

him to lie down he would not enter the
ring. Such Is foolishness.
In the first place, IL is almost dead
moral certainty that Burns had no
paper To show that he had been ap-
preached by O'Brien, and II he had
come to the front with this holier-than-
thou speech O'Brien would simply have
replied that Burns was afraid TO fight.
and was attempting the dirty expedient
Of knocking the game in order 20 avoid
bad beating. And, IN view OF the gen.
orally conceded superiority OF O'Brien
as boxer, the Philadelphian would
have been believed, and Tommy would
nave been laughed out of pugilism.
Second, Il was better 10 let O'Brien
think the deal was going through and
then catch him with the goods on. For
number OF years il has been an open
secret tnat o Brien was not fighting on
the level, but he always had some spe-
cious excuse and got return engage
ments. Now he has been proved a
faker and, apparently, a chicken-hearted
gutter at that and Burns rendered a
real service 10 the game when he ex-
posed him so thoroughly.

There was no decided change in the
teamsters' strike situation yesterday.
Both sides, the teamsters and the officers
of the truck companies, reiterated the
statements made Thursday that the strike
would soon be settled.
About forty-five teams, driven by non
union teamsters, are hauling freight for
the big mercantile houses of Los Angeles.
Formerly more than 200 teams were used
for the work. ~.
According to the officers of the. truck
companies the number OF teams at S,1erf Work

sibIe for the trucking companies to clear
it away at all with the men and few
wagons that are engaged in the work at
present. ..
"The companies have only about forty
wagons working, and they are driven by
clerks and office employees. Labor1ng men
are not accepting jobs from the compa-
MES, and despite the fact that the ofhcers
of the companies say they can get all
the men they need without difficulty, 1

any kind between the strikers and the

have been warned to avoid all difficulty
and have been notified they will be SuS-

we have handled all orders for our reegu-

difficulty so far, and we do not expect 1t

things have gone since the strike was
called simply shows that it is possible for
us tc run our business without taking or
ders from the unions, and think 1t marks
the close of the closed shop so far as the
truck companies are concerned"
Yesterday morning committee OF tne
teamsters' union called up Secretary Will

of the question. Mr.. Willard and m 9m,
bers OF the Merchants and Manufacturers
association agreed to hear them, aru n
little later listened to the arguments of
the strikers. No action was taken by the
members of the two associations, but laie.,
by the Municipal league and the Mer-

stating that the issue was solely one of
