TROUBLES
TODAY
''Under-cIass'' Baseball Lea
CUES to Present Claims
TO Nat Onal Commission.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-President PAT
Powers. of the National Association of
Baseball Clubs, does not propose to attend
either the meeting of the National Com
mission at Cincinnati, nor the national
board Of the National Association. which
is scheduled to meet today in Cleveland.
Il do not want my action to be miscon-
strued to the extent that ! shall be re-
corded as opposed to organized baseball"
said Mr.. Powers. ION the contrary, l am
not. J am as much in favor of organized
baseball as any man who is connected with
the national game, but | fail to see how
the minor leagues are to accomplish any
thing VIII. CHI they may desire in the way
of modification OF the present rules with
out being consulted as the third party NJ
the national agreement. AS | understalg vi
the meeting this week with the membCJs
of the national commission, the miIlDr
leagues are to be received as petition Brs
rather than as principals. Therefore, /
shall remain in New York. Our organE:a-
tioE will be well represented in Cincin nati.
and If there is any benefit to be de- lived
from the meeting, to the extent that. our
interests shall be recognized as BEING as
as those of the American league
and the National League, I shall be fore
most in cooperating with both CT the
major leagues"
Mr.. Powers also stated that in hi S opin-
ion the minor leagues had so many inter-
ests involved In connection with tn major
leagues that it would be only fair TO them
to have a representative on the national
commission.
Prior to the time that we eff cted ouT
organization he said, 1--WE wele not in
as good condition to request recognition
as we are now. Today the mincT leagues
are better organized, in better harmony
and better equipped to handle tlaeir affairs
than they ever have been. OuT interests
are fully as great as those of the major
Leagues, and there should be some way tc
give us the recognition necess AIRY to care
for our business as its Importance demands
L would not advocate that the minor
leagues wilfull5' Withdraw from the ma
tional agreement, but | do say that If they
feel that they ere compelled to take such
action, in order to preserve their self
respect never before in their history have
they been possessed of such resources as
they are now. We can so alone and we
can take care of our affairs without asking
assistance from any one"
Mr.. Powers said that the national COM
mission would BIZ requested to advance the
leagues of elias A" one class higher, but
he did not express any great confidence
that the request would be granted.

Like Jack O'Brien, the featherweight
champion, Abe Attell. stands out prorui-
nently among professional pugilists as be-
ing not only a clever matchmaker, but to
surround contests with such uncertainty
as to insure a return engagement. His
career fairly teens with bouts won by a
hair-line verdict, with a return match
won in the most decisive fashion. Early
in his career he boxed a ten and twenty
round draw with George Dixon, and whea
he got the sports right with their cash
rounds. Later he boxed n six and a ten
round draw with Harry Forbes, and when
the odds were to his liking he knocked
Forbes out in five rounds.
In one Of his recent engagements he let
the California sports get on tiptoe when
he fought a hair raising t~wenty-round bat
tie with Harry Baker at Los Angeles.
Attell got the decision. frisco gamblers
said it was O robbery. Baker won all the
way, they argued. Attell and Baker were
rematehed, and laymen tumbled over them
selves to get their money down on Baker.
Just to show that he had been nursing a
strong arm. Attell knocked Baker out in
eight rounds III fact. the clever little Gin
cinnati boy was at AttelPs mercy from
the first tap Of the bell.

DEFEAT
Champions Beaten by Clan

Soccer Game. 10.

The champion Clark A. A. soccer team
was given a taste Of defeat in an exhibit
ton game with the Clan Mcleod eleven
on the Clark grounds yesterday, the score
being / to O.. About 500 loyal rooters
braved the arctic weather to witness the
contest.
The Clarks won the toss and the
Clans kicked off against a strong
wind. The Marks made several raids on
their opponents goal at The commence
ment. but their forwards were away off
In their shooting, Nelson. MCGEE and
Fisher all missing easy chances when
nicely placed. Fisher received a nasty
kick in the face early in the first half,
which put him out of the game for the
rest Of the contest.
The wind was all in favor Of the Clarks,
and although the defense of the Clans
was strong, they could not get the bali
away, and The Clarks' forwards were
pressing almost the whole of the first
half, but Robinsin was playing q great
game IN goal for the visitors, and saved
several shots in mastery fashion. and
when the whistle sounded for half time
neither side had scored.
On the restart the CLANS came away
and Turnbull just missed with a. grand
shot. A few minutes later Scott got pos
session, and, passing Mason, he gave the
ball to Watts, who scored the only goal of
the match with an easy shot. which Hunt
completely %misjudged. Five minutes later
the Clans were awarded a throw in
close to The Clark goal and Isaacs and
in n ground shot, which ToWman handled
in the goal mouth, and the referee prompt
~ awarded the Clans a penalty. Scott
took the kick, but Hunt made no for his
previous mistake by saving in sensational
style,
After this reverse the Clarks tried hard
to equalize, and Nelson and Horne were
conspicuous in a grand run down the
field, but Robinson easily cleared Nelson's

be at the wheel of the American pilot
car in the race from New York to San
Francisco. He outlined the route that he
considered best-one considerably shorter
and IN general over better roads than that
over which he made his record tour from
the Pacific to the Atlantic. The record
then established, Is days and 2 hours, still
stands. He also has made the trip over
different routes two other times.
In the coming race, the start of which
Whitman believes should be postponed
from February Is to June or July to insure
the best conditions across the United
States, he would take the racers direct
from New York to Buffalo, following the
Lehigh Valley, passing through Erie, Pa.
Through Pennsylvania, Whitman says, the
roads are comparatively good. He would
pass the Pennsylvania line into Ohio a few
miles east of Conneaut, O., through which
town he would take the racers. He would
then follow an almost direct line to CleVe-
land This is over a fast road.
From Cleveland he would lead them to
Norwalk and thence to Toledo. The run
would continue over excellent roads
through Goshen, Ind. South Bend, Ham
mond and thence to Chicago over a hard
bottomed way that would give all the
good facilities desired.
From Chicago he would pass through
Geneva. De Kalb. Dixon on the Illinois
Iowa line, Cedar Rapids, Marshalltown
Amos and Omaha. Most of this part OF
the trip will be over poor roads, but the
best available.
From Omaha the racers will spin tc

Perhaps the worst going will be from
