P1TTSBURG. Pa. January S.-Tommy
Leach, the little infielder of the Pittsburg
base ball team, yesterday started things
by signing a contract for next season.
Leach has requested that he be allowed
to play the outfield instead of third base,
and he has been told that this request
will be granted as soon as Clarke can get
another third baseman. In addition to
this, it is understood that Leach got an
anvance In salary, something that was
promised to him last year when he re-
ceived part of the advance he had re-
quested when he was prevented from
going to Cincinnati as manager.

BRITT WHIPS WAGNER.

Round, Saving Arm Was Hurt,

Round, Saying Arm Was Hurt.
BALTIMORE, Md. January S.-Before
the Eureka Athletic Club, at Germania
Hall, last night, Young Britt, the pros
spective little champion in pugilism. beat
the New York champion. Joe Wagner
Britt won in four rounds, when Wag-
ner quit, claiming his arm was hurt. He
said he hurt it in training, and had only
aiken a plaster cast off yesterday He
did not want to be called a coward, he
said, and went in the fight to take a
chance.
To the spectators it looked as though
Wagner had proved to be a gutter He
Was beaten in the third and the final
round, and dropped his right hand. He
let the bandages be pulled off and did
not finch. Physicians said no bones
were broken.
Britt won, and won on merit. Wag-
ner proved to be an awkward boxer, but
one of strength. Britt was extremely
too clever for him, and by administering
few good body blows he made The New
Yorker look like a loser. Had Wagner
shown as much nerve as he had Drawn
he might have won, but he quit and the
battle was ended, and Abe Ullman so
decided it,
After Young Britt and Wagner had
weighed in at 122 pounds, and neither
tipping the scales at the weight, there
was challenge issued by Mr. John
Sommers, who posted $50 for {: battle
between the winner Of the Britt-W Wagner
battle and Willie Jones The forfeit
was for weight and appearance, the
weight to be 11S pounds. Wagner and
Britt each claimed to be able 10 make

McINNIS TO ATHLETICS.
National Commission Renders Deci-
sion Against Haverhill Club.

CINCINNATI. Ohio, January s.-Cen-
sure for the Haverhill club is included in
a decision by the national base ball COM
mission, awarding Player John McInnis
to the Philadelphia American League club.
Haverhill claimed the player because of
a reserve clause placed in his receipt for
pay in full and Philadelphia claimed
that when he was signed August 8. 1908
he was not under contract with the New
England club, having failed to sign the
contract that was rendered him when
he joined the Haverhill club In the
course of the testimony it developed that
McInnis played with Haverhill five days
In the week, but Saturdays and Sundays
was permitted to play with the Beverly
club, an independent club outside of or
ganiZed base ball, this fact being cited
by Philadelphia that McInnis simply play
ed with Haverhill part of the time to help
them out.
In another decision Player Clarence H.
Munson is declared a free agent and his
name is ordered stricken from the re-
serve list of the Canton, Ohio, club of
the Ohio and Pennsylvania League, be-
cause that club failed to pay him $40
balance due on his salary. The club is
still required to pay this amount, but the
player is declared a free agent.
The Toledo club of the American Asso-
citation in another decision loses its right
to Player Ward Miller, who had been
drafted by the Chicago Nationals after he
had been purchased from Wausaw by
Toledo. the fact that he faileu to report
under the purchase prior to the drafting

LONG SCHEDULE FOR
CLASS IA LEAGUES

NEW YORK, January Snow that the
base ball tangle has been Strengthened
out. Pat T. Powers, president OF the
Eastern League, predicts the most sue
cessful year of the history of his organi-
cation in 1909. The Eastern will adopt
a schedule of 154 games at it's meeting
next month. The American Association
will expand its campaign to similar
period, so that the big minors will this
year measure strides with the majors In
the season the respective winners of these
circuits will clash in d series for the
light heavyweight title, while the major
leaders are settling for the world S cham
pionship.
While Mr.. Powers is of the opinion that
a wise settlement was arrived at, he says
there came near being a war Indeed
when he left Cincinnati Tuesday night he
was under the impression that the minors
had bolted. The club presidents of the
Eastern and Association had voted to
Jump the peace agreement. Even yet the
ma jority of the presidents of these minors
feel they would do much better indie
pendently. That peace was continued was
due entirely to the overtures of the ma
tional commission and majors.
To keep the peace with the new class
IA leagues the commission granted more
to them than was asked at New York.
Mr. Powers explains the Indifference OF
mis- associates by the fact that the minors
have no players of great use to the ma
jors, while the majors have many men
who would look good in Eastern or AS
ISOLATION uniforms.
The greatest triumph of the minors was
in the overthrow of the yoke of the Ma
tional Association. In a large measure
the two minor leagues are entirely indie
pendent, so far as managing their affairs
is concerned. The national commission
will settle differences between them and
the other minors. The Pacific Coast
League was given IA rating because it
was promised when the westerners came
into organized base ball that no minor
league would be classed higher than
them.
The Pacific Coast League, while rated
as a class IA organization, will, in all
pro liability leave the government OF the
new class in the hands of it's two asso-
ciates. The coast was entirely satisfied
with the National Association and de-
clined to take issue on the side of the two
revolving leagues. A working agreement
will be adopted between the Eastern
League and American Association. A
board of control, to be composed of two
of each league. will settle
all private matters OF interest to these
leagues only.
