LONG BEACH PLAYERS
WIN CHAMPIONSHIP

BY playing all the basketball they
knew, the girls team from the Long
Beach high school yesterday won the
championship of the Women's league
from U. S. c., the score at the end of
the third and final period being 10 to s..
The game was played on Marlborough
courts, and a large delegation of noise
makers turned out to root for each side.
Until after the second period the re-
suit was in doubt, for the teams were
tied at two all when the first rest was
called. The second period found Long
Beach with five points to the U. S. Z.
teams four, but in the last ten minutes
the beach girls went after the points
and scored eight more. Miss Kincade,
the beach forward, was a host in her
self, and made many points at time
they were needed.
The winners were rewarded with the
championship cup, which is now their
permanent property, having been won
for the first time last season. Inc sec
ond victory yesterday insured possess

THOUSANDS GO IN
RAILROAD FARES
COSTS MONEY TO SEND TEAM
OVER COUNTRY
National and American Clubs viii
Cover Nearly 100000 Miles Be-
tween April is and oc-
tober

One of the big items in the annual
expense list of a ball club in the big
leagues is that which accrues from
travelling over the circuit throughout
the season. The sixteen teams in the
National and American leagues will
travel 1SS,237 miles this year between
April Is and the first week of October.
when the season comes to a close. 1t
is figured that the American league
teams will cover 95,772, while the Ma
tional league clubs will cover 92,465
miles. At the rate of cents a mile,
each club carrying an average OF
eighteen men, the expense for railroad
fare alone figures close to $6s,000. And
this does not include expenses for
berths, meals and other incidentals
While the teams are en- route.
The American league will contribute
the largest amount to the railroad cor
porations, as it's circuit is more widely
scattered. Taking the clubs individ-
ually, the schedule shows that the st.
Louis team will cover the most number
of miles this year in the American
league. They are down to journey a.
307 miles, and will make thirty-one
trips. OF course this includes num-
Der of snort jumps.
The National league schedule makers
spent several weeks trying to figure
out an inexpensive travelling schedule
for the Pittsburg Pirates. But, try as
they might, they could not squeeze in
the Pirates for less than 1857 miles.
They will make thirty-seven trips
In the National and American
leagues the Philadelphia teams viii
travel the least number of miles. 1t
may seem strange at a glance that
there should be so much difference be-
tween the teams in the state of Penn
sylvania, but in the case of Pittsburg
the Pirates will be constantly on the
jump to fill Sunday engagements in
Cincinnati and Chicago. The same rea-
son applies to the great mileage to be
covered by the st. Louis Americans,
for they are called upon to make sew
eral jumps to Chicago and Cleveland
One of the most remarkable features
of the travelling that is done by base
ball teams is the way in which they
steer clear of accidents. In recent
years there has been only one bad
smashup in which players have fig
ured in the wreck. This was when a
special train, carrying the st. Louis
and Cleveland Americans to st. Louis
in 1904, was wrecked. A few players
We're pretty badly cut up, but their In
juries were not serious, and the game
the following day was played as sched-
uled In 1893 the Chicago Nationals
were caught in a freight wreck in
which three passengers were killed, but
with the exception of Jimmy Ryan and
Kittredge, who were cut about the
head and body, there were no serious
results to the players.

The amendments, new sections and
additions are all to be incorporated in
the proper places.
City Clerk Lelande says 1t is hard
now to answer questions regarding
health ordinances, as they are so COM
plicated.
The work will go ahead with the con-

OFFICIALS AT WASHINGTON
AMAZED BY HIS ATTACK
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON April S.-Adminis-
tration officials today expressed amaze
ment over the statements in President
Castro's official organ, Ell Constitu-
cional having as their base the Ia
coma mail pouch opeing incident. the
editorial received the closest attention.
Mingled with the feeling of amazement
over the sentiments of President CAS-
tro is one of regret and mystif1cation
over the whole course venezuela mas
pursued in dealing with the United
States.
"The United States has been good
friend to Venezuela" said a high of
fetal of the state department today.
"Twice in the last fifteen years we
have gone to Venezuela's aid when
that country needed assistance"
For this reason he could not under
stand why she has acted as she has.
During President Cleveland's second
Term when England was threatening
to encroach upon Venezuela's territory
he sent a message to congress winch
had the result of referring the question
to the king of Holland for impartial
determination.
Again. several years later when the
allied powers were threatening n
blockade of Venezuelan ports, to COM
mel navment of her foreign obligations,
the United States, through Minister
Bowen, stepped in and averted such
a step, Again the question was re-
ferred to Holland.
The navy department today received
report from Commander Hood of
the cruiser Tacoma containing details
touching the opening of the mail car
ried by that vessel at the La Guaira
postoffice. 1t agrees substantially with
the published statements, and the Of
ficials are satisfied the opening was
inadvertent.
All the correspondence on the Vene-
zuelan question is now before con-
gress. Administration officials frankly
admit they will not be surprised should
there be some delay. The issues pre-
sented are out of the ordinary and
time should be given, they say, for
thorough study of the situation.

Several matters of Importance were

interest.
Communications were read from Adj

not acceptable to the clearing house
committee, and recommended the Low

ton of a commission to be appointed
to formulate financial legislation. The
same was referred to the committee
on finance and auditing.

PRESIDENT SULLIVAN
EXPECTS CRISIS SOON
Says Smashup of Some Kind in Rules
of Amateur Sport Is Bound to
Come at No Distant
Day

NEW YORK, April SAN upheaval is al
most due in amateur athletics For a long
time the Amateur Athletic union has been
quietly preparing for it, and the crisis is still
some months off. but It is coming, and when
1t does come It viii be with such smash
that there will be mistaking it. After 1t Is
all over the governing body will be stronger
than it ever was, or viii have ceased to exist
and the United States will be brought back to
the conditions that prevailed a quarter OF a
century ago, when almost everything and
anything westn.
Believing the wsest policy to be to wait
until everything was in working order and
then shoot over knockout blow, James T..
Sullivan, president Of the Amateur Athletic
union, and his associates have been laying
their plans and saying nothing about them.
Probably all would have been lovely had not
the proposition to amateurize the public school
athletic instructors and coaches popped up. AS
soon as that was placed before him Mr.. Sulli-
van New or the handle and delivered himself
Of line of talk which would allow of no mis-
taken idea as to his sentiments.
After dwelling at length on the utter fool
ishness of this scheme, Mr.. Sullivan branched
OF and gave his opinion OF the present state
Of amateur athletics in general
THE whole trouble" he said, sis that they
want one set of rules for one thing and a
different set for another. or better still. no
rules at all. As fast we can make rules
they seek means Of getting around them. II
they would rather endure a state of affairs
such as prevailed before the A. A U. existed,
why don't they say and get out? We have
always sought to make the A. A. U. rules
fair TO all and as lenient as they possibly
could be. But the more they get the more they
want, and the time has come when it is es-
sental to the good Of the sport that something
drastic should be done
1T will be. A committee Of six has been
appointed to revise the rule book and report
at the annual meeting next November. won't
say what the changes will be, but the old
rule book Will look as though an earthquake
had struck it, They will not find 1t so easy
next year to avoid the law. And these new
rules will be enforced IL we have to throw out
every athlete in the country.
at seems to be a popular pastime to smash
the A. A. u. When the new rules go into eff
feet the lawless element will have its chance
to come out into the open and fight fair. And
II amateur athletics thinks it can get along
without the A. A. u let 1t say 50. and Will
resign the presidency on the spot"

BLACK HAND SCARE CAUSES
PANIC IN CITY SCHOOL
BY Associated Press.

By Associated fress.
NEWARK, n. j., April S.-A rumor
that a big public school in the Italian
section had been blown up by Black
Hand blackmallers as an act of re-
venge for failure of parents of pupils
to pay tribute resulted in panic to-
day, In which two children were IN
jured.
1t became necessary to close the
school for the day. The school was In
session, when a great throng of ex-
cited women, shouting and gesticulat-
ing, gathered in front of the closed
gates. They demanded their children
be sent from the building and threat
ened to break into the building.
The principal telephoned for police
assistance, but before help arrived the
women had broken down the gates and
forced their way into tie building. In
the wild scramble of mothers and chill"
dren many of the little ones were
thrown down and trampled on and two
were seriously injured. The police say
there is no basis whatever for the re-
ports that threats to blow up the
school have been made.

|LEWIS-GARDNER
GO CALLED OFF
TELEGRAM TELLS JEFF HIS
MAN REFUSES
RUSSELL MAY BE SUBSTITUTED
FOR LEWIS
Memsic and English to Get Together
Today and Talk Over Proposed
Match-Fighters Are Now
Training

On again, off again, with the opening
attraction of the Jeffries fight club.
After getting everything arranged and
apparently in good shape, JEFF received
wire from Eddie Keevin yesterday
which put the Lewis-Gardner match in
the discard, and the big fellow must
look around for another magnet to
draw the crowd to Vernon. At present
INK Russell and Gardner are spoken
of as the pair, and it is probable that
this match will go through.
No reason was given in Keevin's tele-
gram for the falling through of the
Lewis and Gardner show, the only ex-
PLANTATION made being that Lewis was
trying to hold him up for more money.
Right now would be a good time to say
that nearly every time Keevin has any
thing to do with making match there
is a ball-up somewhere along the line.
and both McCarey and Jeffries would
be better off with another representa-
tive in Boston.
Russell and Gardner have met before,
and while the match is not as attractive
as the one in which Lewis was figured,
it will doubtless be a hot scrap. Rus
sell has never gone a distance with any
one of much class. but needs only the
chance He has fought most of the
good light and welter weights in the
business
of victories.
Jeff may secure a match nearer home,
for Baron long left yesterday for
Frisco TO see if he couldn't get Nelson
to appear here on Decoration day with
Brock or some other good man. NC
Farland will also be talked to, and If
Packey wins from Jimmie Britt on
Saturday he will be offered chance to
pick up some coin in the Vernon ring.
George Memsic and William Murphy
met yesterday and all but settled for
the match between Memsic and Clar-
ence English. The two will get together
again this morning and settle upon the
date and the other particulars. The
bout will take place at the Pacific Ath-
letic club pavilion either on May or II.
Jim Flynn continued his hard work at
Eastside in preparation for his ten
round battle with Johnson. The fire.
man went on the road in the morning
and reeled off nine miles before he
reached the gymnasium of the club.
In the afternoon he went through his
regular stunts with the rope, pulleys
and bags, and then boxed eight rounds
-four with the Turk and four with
Rube Smith. Flynn says that he is In
prime shape and that he will not let
up in his work until the last moment,
as he wishes to show that his victory
over the Russian was not fluke, and
he says he hopes Johnson also will be
in good condition, so that there will be
no excuse coming if the big boxer is
defeated.
Battling Johnson took his second les
son from Van Court yesterday after
noon, and the boxing instructor was
surprised at the ease with which john
son picks up the points of the fistic
game and he predicts that he will be
great fighter before he is many years
older. johnson comes to Los Angeles
each afternoon for his instruction, and
will not begin his regular training until
Monday, when he will occupy the stage
at the San Pedro Athletic club.
