and Out CIub-StHIIings, Jack
Dunn, and Joe Kelley Are Said 20
Be Opposed 10 Proposition.

New York, Dec. 1l.-When the Eastern
League OF professional baseball clubs
eonvenes at the Hotel Victoria to-mor-
row morning the opposition TO the re-
election of Patrick L. Powers to the
presidency viii come TO a head. Powers
IS the man who organized this flourish
ing minor organization more than fifteen
years ago. and has helped to keep it
alive on more than one occasion ever
since.
At times the Eastern League was a
source of merriment among baseball
men, and it's demise was frequently pre-
oicted; but Powers, digging deep, put up
his own money rather than see his pet
project go 10 the wall. a salary OF
S5.001 enabled Powers to maintain sump-
tuous headquarters Of the league in the
FiatirOn Building and TO entertain the
masnates whenever they came to town.
but that was something Powers really
enjoyed. for it kept him at the head of
the organization he had planned in his
dreams many years ago. Who are the
men ready to supplant Powers with Ed
ward 6. Barrow, of Toronto? ''Ironman"
McGinnity. the Giants old pitcher. who
is now part owner and manager of the
Newark club, is one. George T. Stall
ings, former manager of the Highland
ers and part owner OF the Buffalo club.

of the Giants who is said 10 control the
Baltimore club, is a third. Then the
Toronto club, with which Joe Kelley.
formerly OF the Balumores and Cincln-
natis, Is Identified. is outwordly opposed
10 tie veteran president.
Jersey City for Powers.
The owners of the Jersey City club in
olude Bob Davis. the Democratic leader
OF Hudson County, who is a lifelong
friend Of Powers. and is anxious to see
the latter reelected. Davis knows much
about baseball politics, and may dull
few wires before the meeting begins. The
Jersey City club is backed up in its de-
sire 10 keep Powers at the helm by the
Rochester and Providence clubs. with the
Montreal club on the fence.
The owner of the Montreal club is a
man named S Lichtenstein, who is on
excellent terms with Powers. but is
close friend OF Barrow, who managed the
Montreals last season. He would prob
ably cast his vote for Powers If he was
convinced that Barrow could not be
elected, in which event there would be
deadlock
Powers has not had a word for publi-
cation regarding his election. His friends
started the report ten DAYS ago that he
had decided to quit baseball TO attend TO
private business venture in Ireland. but
II. NJ. Stevens. another friend, declared
to-day that Powers was not out of the
running by any means. and was really
anxious to retain his old position.

FANS SUGGEST NAME FOR TIGERS

KHANAGER JOE. M'GINNITY de-
l clares that there are quite a
few Newarkers who think it
worth a two stamp to suggest a new
for the local club in order to
win that season pass. Each delivery
brought more suggestions for ar APP
propriate appellation. and finally Sec
rotary. Martin and the Tiger chief had
to give up in sheer exhaustion.
In the midst of the rain of letters a
rather large, bulky looking envelope
addressed to Tommy Martin was UNI
carthed bearing the postmark Buff

relief. 1t was from a younger member
OF Mr.. Martins family and turned out
to be a Tiger bedecked in the raj
ment of a dude. 1t brought a smile to
Tommy's lips, and for a moment he
forgot his troubles.
1t would be impossible to print all
the names, but some of the ogitomens

Will Open Season Thursday
Night at Wiedenmayer's
Casino.
BY SURE SHOT.

- ASkETBALL will be revived on a
ID big scale in the lronbound dis
trict Thursday night, when the
Pirates, a new team composed of the
leading players in this vicinity, viii
meet one OF the County League fives at
Wiedenmayer's Casino. adjoining the
Newark Eastern League baseball
grounds.
The Pirates should be able to crush
the best of them, with Kid Knochel
and Harry Henuingcr, formerly of the
Acmes, as forwards; Jay Doyle, of the
Xavier Catholic Club, at centre, and
Dick Green, another Acme player; Pop
Welsh, Of the Dominican A. A, and
Johnny Nolan, of the Elizabeth East
ern League team, as GUARDS.
The team is considered by experts
to be superior to the local ones. n a
series with all will be arranged. 1t is
probable that Joe McGinnity, the man
iger of the Tigers. will become inter-
ested in the popular indoor game. The
fans below the railroad have been wait
ing patiently for a fast team to repre-
sent their district, and the Pirates will
fill the bill. Thu fans remember the
crowds the Acmes drew, and with three
