date compelling the directors
of the Northwestern league to
reinstate Aberdeen in the cir
cult, will be heard before Judge
Gillian in the superior court of
King county Monday morning.
The Aberdeen club completed
its case this afternoon, and At
torney Frank Miller of Spo-
kane, representing the league
directors, will close the fight.
Aberdeen was dropped from
the Northwestern league at a
melting of the directors several
weeks ago for business rea-
sons" Aberdeen's contention
is that the by laws of the
league are invalid and that its
franchise, therefore, cannot be
taken away. The league direc-
tors already have won a suit
for injunction applied for by
the Aberdeen club, which
sought to prevent the directors
from making up the schedule
for the season of 1910.

TAKES A RAP AT
SYNDICATE BALL
(By United Press Leased Wire)

. (By United Press Leased Wire)
NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Hesitat-
ing in the face of the American
leagues drastic action to prevent
so-called syndicate baseball and
still anxious to placate the fans who
are bowling against trust methods
in the conduct of the great Ameri-
can game, the National league mag
mates tonight closed their stormy
session of the week by adopting a
resolution prohibiting any club
owner of the league from holding a
controlling interest in any other
club.
According to the highest baseball
authorities this action technically
prevents syndicate baseball in the
National league, but they declare
that as 1t does not prevent owner
ship by one man of stock in compel
ing clubs it can be disregarded
when it comes to real control. The
American league action, on the
other hand. absolutely prohibits one
man from holding stock in two COM
peting clubs.
The National league resolution
was proposed by President Brush Of
the New York Giants. Several other
mild resolutions and q few minor
changes in the constitution COM
pleted the session. which has been
one of the most heated in the Ma
tional league history, and at times
threatened to disrupt the league.

Tom Hyer the first champion of the American prize
ring. This great pugst played almost heroic part in
the early political life of New York city. Preceding the
advent of Hyer Bill Boss) Harrington and Andy Mcane
had fought for the championship of the two cities of New
York and Philadelphia, in 1892 Mcane had beaten jim
Sanford, the american Phenomenon; George Kensett
had fought Ned Hammond but setting aside the vagares

Although harrassed by the authori-
ties on Chesapeake bay, the fight
ers and their excursion made
landing at Rock Point, Kent county.
Md. The day was bitterly cold.
Snow was swept from the ground
before the ring was pitched and
hot bricks were brought from
neighboring farmhouse and placed
in the ring to warm the fighters
feet. This battle at once took rank
as a battle for the American heavy
weight championship.
Sullivan stood 5 feet 10R inches
and weighed 1865 pounds. Hyer
stood feet ~ inches and weighed
25 pounds more. At the end of 16
rounds, Sullivan's limbs were seiz-
cd with nervous tremors, from the
heavy falls and hard blows he had
received. and Hyer was declared
the winner.
Hyer never again fought in the
ring. Although in 1851 he issued
challenge to fight the Upton
Slasher of England for $4,000 a
side, it was but part Of the boast
ing of his day.

Terway Makes Weak Finish,
But Beats Lockwood
by 91a Laps.

Peter Terway proved his right to
the title of champion of the Inland
Empire last night when he defeated
Charles n. Lockwood of Walla
Walla by almost two-thirds of a
mile in a Is mile course, negotiat-
ing the distance in the remarkably
fast time of 1:27:50. Although evil
IDENTIFY distressed at the finish, his
admirers are confident that he
could have come perilously near the
worlds record, something over 1:21,
had he been crowded during the
early stages of the struggle.
Archibald, Lockwood's manager,
states that his man suffered from
cramps during the greater part of
the race and was thus unable to
run his race. A return match will
probably be arranged in the near
future. while in the meantime Man
ager De Young has challenged Art
Burn for a race with Terway over
any course from II miles up to the
full Marathon.
AT exactly S:21 o'clock Coun ell
man E. V. Lambert fired the shot
which started the men on the Cruel
ing Is mile race, Terway immedi-
ately taking the lead and tapping
the Walla Walla man each mile I'M
til the scorers had checked off the
140th circuit of the IA lap track.
From this time on Terway slowed
UP, and although he was liz laps
to the good at the end of the
twelfth mile and his followers were
crying for him to make the victory
full mile. he finished much slower
than Lockwood. During the first
mile Lockwood was taken with a
severe attack of cramps and his
painting could be heard all over the
armory. He recovered toward the
last and surprised the small gather
ing of fans with a burst of speed
which would have made him keen
contender had he made the squirt
during the early miles.
CROWD A DISAPPOINTMENT.
Less than 100 people were on
hand to witness the first big indoor
race ever held in Spokane. clearly
demonstrating that the Spokane
fans have not adopted the running

The following is the time made
by Terway during the race:

CHAMPS BATTLE.

CHAMPS BATTLE.
Events that led to the meeting
of Hyer and Sullivan, the formers
decisive victory, and the acknowl-
edgement of Hyer as first champion
of the ring, antedate the battle OF
these pugilists eight years. Sulli-
van, born of Irish parentage, had
fought and obtained celebrity in the
British prize ring. On coming to
America he had proved a game,
rapid, hard-hitting fighter. BY de-
feating Hammer Lane, middle
weight champion of England, Suill'
van had added to his reputation,
and he returned to this country
18th desire to add to his laurels.
The most likely candidate for hon
crs at his hands was young Hyer
In some manner Hyer had acQuir-
ed the reputation of fighter, a
reputation which persistently sur
rounded him, although he had never
fought in the regular roped arena
of the prize ring.
Sullivan's first step in the initi-
alive was the prompting N one
Country McCloskey" to fight Hyer.
McCloskey did, and Sullivan, as
one of McCloskeys seconds, had
the satisfaction of seeing McClos-
key thoroughly whipped in a long
battle on a hot September day in
1S41,
- Hyer then allied himself with one
of the political parties which at
tempted to control New York city
polls, and who attached to them
selves numerous pugilists whose
party positions closely resembled
those of the modern quarterback
and halfback to football team, on
voting days.
Sullivan, whose active mauleys
were in equal demand by poll
ticians, attached himself to the op-
posing faction. This appearance Of
political rivalry was thin cover
ing for an intense fighting enmity
which caused Hyer and Sullivan to
move in ever-contracting circles.
FIGHT IN A CAFE.
Sullivan's second step in the
initiative was the attempt to whip
Hyer one night in 1S4S, in an oyster
cafe at the corner of Broadway and
Park place, New York.
The fight created an uproar on
Broadway. Walters fled from the
place in fright while the affair was
in progress, and the doors of the
resort were locked.
Patrolman George w. Walling,
afterward chief of police, gained en-
trance to the cafe and found Hyer
coolly placing percussion cap on
a pistol, which was the weapon
then in vogue. In a booth was
the beaten Sullivan,
This affair resulted in a match
between Hyer and Sullivan for
$1,000 side. The match was rati-
fled in August, 1S4S, and the great
battle took place February Z. 1849.

expenses; that Sheppard had never
submitted bill and that the check
mailed to the runner had been sent
to Sheppard after the PENNSYLVANIA
organization had suspended him.
Attorney Farlay contended that
the committee trying Sheppard had
no legal standing and that the run
ner had been deprived of his legal
rights when not allowed to compete
in military contests. Chairman
Garcia overruled all his objections.
BY a special ruling of the trial
committee, Sheppard was permit
ted TO run at the games of the
Spanish War Veterans tonight.
