has again demonstrated his tremen-
dous influence over the house of conn

olution has been unanimously
adopted by that body, calling on the
railway directors to meet the repre-
sentatives of the men in order to dis
cuss with them the best method OF

HARMONY Is
KEYNOTE OF
THE MEETING

Providence was fixed upon as the
meeting place for the spring schedule
meeting TO be held by the International
League m February 10. That was the
main point decided upon at the final
session of the league yesterday after
noon. All told, it was a model meet
ing, harmony prevailing all the way
through, and President Barrow de-
clared that there was not a dissenting
vote on anything.
Mr.. Barrow declared that the only
time there was any dispute or dis
agreement at all was in discussing the
umpire question and the levying of
fines. Barrow insisted that clubs in the
future should be compelled to live up
10 the rule preventing them from pay
ing the fines of players who merit pun
ishment for m~isbehavior on the dia-
mond.
As heretofore. the northern clubs will
open in the East. Joe McGinnity's
plan for a revision did not go through.

BY "D0c' LEVINE.

The worst spill in years occurred
early this morning and it looked for
a time hat several of the riders would
be out of the race. Root had started
a wild sprint, as only Root can when
he gets going. After he had gone two
laps and was coming into the turn APP
preaching the home stretch he rode
high on the bank, intending to let
some other rider take the pace. He did
not realize that he was a good twenty
yards ahead of he nearest rider. AS
he was riding up he looked down and
around. Seeing that no one was near
him he shot down to the pole again
before his wheel had Strengthened out.
The front wheel gave way and he fell
squarely across the track Six others
rode over him. OF theie four were car
ried from the track unconscious, but
they quickly revived. Nevertheless it
was more than two hours before the
bell was run again for the resumption
of the ace. Six bicycles We're broken
in this spill.
If the Georget-Brocco team will be
shaken off it will be G%eorget's fault, as
he was nearly shaken off when a sprint
was started by Stein.
This Stein person is a queer duck,
There are many opinions of him but
no m will doubt hereafter that he
has a lot of sand. Monday night or
early Tuesday morning when Cav
anaugh quit he was urged by several
persons to retire. so that his partner,
Thomas, might team up with Ryan,
who was going strong, and Stein looked
particularly bad. Stein refused. 1t
was then predicted that Stein would
last until the time would be past when
that could be done. Ryan's time al
lowance was -four hours, and it was
expected Stein would be all in then
and Thomas would not be in a position
to get another partner. Early this
morning, when told to go on and re-
lieve his partner he complained that
he could not breathe. To show in
what poor condition he really was he
went out and started a jam that car
ried him a quarter of a lap in front
of the field in the first jump. Then
came the spill that spoiled 1t all.
Wonder what he would do If he were
dead if he does that when he is I'M
able to breathe?
