test but during the climax of the match
he fen down allowing his Washington op-

before the 1st Of August would be most
acceptable TO the players

umpire and Secretary Anderson was in
structed 10 make arrangements with him.

MICHIGAN DROPS CONFERENCE
Wolverines Will Look TO East for
Big Athletic Contests.
Board of Control at Ann ArbOr Pre-
Domination of Colleges.

Ann Arbor. Mich. Jan. H-The board
Of control Of athletics Of the University
of Michigan, at a protracted meeting last
night decided to withdraw Immediately
from the Western intercollegiate confer
ence, the big Nine" organization with
which Michigan has been affiliated for
years Michigan. however. did not adhere
strictly 20 all the restrictions adopted by
the conference at the time when the
three-year rule was put in efeffct. and
training tables were abolished.
The Ann Arbor eleven for two seasons
past has arranged its principal game
with Pennsylvania in place Of the
Iong-accustomed annual game with
the University Of Chicago. Although
the Maize and Blue kept within the con-
ference restrictions, as far as her games
with conference colleges were concerned,
there were repeated rumors OF Nichigan's
withdrawal OF expulsion from the con-
ference. The sentiment OF the students
and Of a majority Of the alumni as pre-
sented before the board last night was
strongly against affiliatiOn with the con-
ference, IL being pointed out that some
Of the colleges in the conference had no
athletic contests with Michigan, while
one Of them Northwestern now had no
football team at all.
The lOng-impending rupture with the
conference leaves Michigan free 70 look
TO the Eastern colleges for games. and
permits the retention of Schultz as cap
talnt Of the eleven. Under conference
rules. Schultz would have had 10 retire
at the close Of last season, his third
year In football.
Prof. Patterson. chairman and spokes-
man Of the board. said that a statement
Of the action Of the board would be sent
% all the conference colleges before any
interview would be given out here Prof.
Patterson even declined to state how the
vote stood when the question was settled

STILL Hope FOR CHICAGO CLUB
Invasion of Windy City Not Yet a
Dead Baseball Issue.
Mike CRntiIlon, of Minneapolis, Ex-
Pects to See Plan COnsummated
Before Opening OF Season.

Minneapolis. Jan. I'm. +. Cantillon.
manager of the Minneapolis baseball club,
who is spending a few days in this city,
seems to think that there is little hope
that the association will have club in
Chicago this year, but at the same time
it is known that it is a matter which is
by no means settled. and any one who
pretends 10 say now what will be done
is merely guessing.
There is a great difference between in
dependent and outlaw baseball. and if the
association did enter Chicago 1t would
be an Independent proposition. OF course,
the big leagues would show fight. and
there would be retaliation, and the majors
would consider the minor crowd as black
as any gang of baseball pirates that ever
existed. The association might consider
itself independent, but they would not
escape trouble on that score.
The impression that the action of the
national commission had any influence in
developing the present situation 10 where
it looks like the same old circuit, is eT-
roneous. The association crowd knew
long ago that they never could get the
permission they desired. and paid no at
tention whatever 10 the national commits
sions meeting. although the presentation
of their case was "a formality that they
had to go through with.
If it is finally decided not TO invade
Chicago it viii be because il takes time
TO prepare for war. and it VIII be a case
of not being fully prepared. II is prac-
ucalIy a certainty that the invasion viii
come next year, as the only conflict
among the club owners seems 10 be mere
ly over details and not over the broad
There IS no serious oppo-
sition now to the invasion, but there Is
a failure on the part Of the club owners
To get together on all Of the details, 81 ch
as the control of the franchise, the selec-
ton Of the bail grounds, sc. II those
matters could be settled to-day there
would be a club IN Chicago this year.
II is evident that Cantillon is discour-
aged at the outlook for invasion. as ne
has been heart and soul in the movement
and was willing TO risk his all in base
ball war. He believes that the American
Baseball Association is a much stronger
institution than some people believe, and
that it could easily stand all OF the fight
ing brought against il by the majors
And Canullon expects that another year
VIII see the trick turned, II nothing can
be accomplished now.
