MINOR LEAGUES IN

magnates representing more than thirty
leagues, big and little, together with
officials of different associations and
clubs, thronged the lobby of the Audi
forum annex yesterday and informally
discussed questions which were raised
formally when the annual meeting of
the National Association of Minor
Leagues opened later in the day.
knotty problems relative to the stand
ing of different circuits of base ball
teams in the several parts of the country
are being fought out before the national
board of arbitration which holds daily
sessions. AS usual the outlaw" player
question in its different aspects occupied
the attention of the arbitration board
Clubs in class A have contended that
they occupy different position in the
matter of playing with organizations
outside the pale of the national commits
sion than do the leagues in classes b.
and d. The final ruling of the board
of arbitration on the outlaw question will
not be announced until the end of the
session
Representatives of leagues in classes
and d met and it Is understood that an
effort will be made by some of class c
leagues to be raised to class B. Among
those which are striving for this change
of grade are the Texas League and the
Western Association
The main fight before the national as
ISOLATION is expected to be waged by the
American Association and Eastern League
to GUST the Southern and Western leagues
from class A.
More than fifty payers of the Mil
waukee and Minneapolis teams of the
American Association and of the Three /,
Southern and Pacific Coast leagues were
placed upon the ineligible list by the
national board of arbitration They were
alleged to have defied the rules of the
agreement by engaging in postseason
games with outlaw clubs. No fines
were melted out but before signing con-
tracts for next season the players must
apply for reinstatement. Then their pun
ishment will be decided on by Secretary
Farrell. The board also ordered the black
listing of President Wolse of the Spokane
club for alleged charges against Umpire
Fray. which could not be substantiated
by him.

Notes on High School Game.

The Machinsts played an all around

a high score On account of Tech S
weight it was doped that this school
would have very little difficulty in holding
its own when in possession of the bail
but the Western would completely battle
her opponents when Tech was on the
defensive by superior speed and trick
plays On the other hand Techs line of
defense not only checked Westerns
speedy advances but proved a stumbling
block to all of the trick plays the George
town boys had up their sleeves.
Coach HecoX strengthened "Tech's'' line
materially when he decided to play Bull
Tough, his strong half, in guard. This
was the only weak place in the whole
line. and as the team has two capable
substitute backs in Goldsmith and Ben
son. ii was considered wise move by
many interested Tech followers. In the
second half. when a chance for defeat
was impossible, Bullough resumed his
old position at half and was much in
evidence by his many long runs and large
gains.
Morris, who has been playing a steady
game at center for Tech. was decidedly
on the job yesterday, not only with accu-
rate passes. but he frequently pulled off
some neat tackles and was also on the
spot several times to recover a fumbled
ball.
The boys across the creek were con-
siderably handicapped in yesterdays fray
as Robson. their speedy fullback was
compelled to throw aside his foot ball
toys owing to an abscess on one OF his
legs. This came as a severe blow to
the Western followers, as the excellent
playing of Robson in their past games
did much to bring the Georgetown school

Philadelphia Welterweight Beat

BOSTON. Mass. November IL
Referee Dan Donnelly of the Armory
Athletic Association did not hesitate
moment to award the decision to Young
Loughrey of Philadelphia after a Cruel
ing twelve-round contest with Tommy
Quill, the New England welterweight.
1t was one of the most furious battles
ever witnessed at the club. Loughrey
started in al the first tap of the bell i'm
most relentless fashion and never gave
Quill any quarter. He drove him around
the ring with vicious body punches. and
the New Highlander was continually
obliged to break ground.
So furious was the pace set by Lough-
rev that in the seventh round Quill was
repeatedly forced to cling in order to save
himself from a knockout. He continual

Spencer's playing in the Central game

substitute The form Techs dashing half
displayed in the game yesterday stamps
him as one of the most consistent ground
gamers there is in the present high
school series He not only scored most
of the points for his school. but was
continually in the limelight by his all
around playing on both the defensive and
offensive.
Capt Small missed his first goals from

as the score was concerned. as few
points made comparatively little differ
