At lengthy session of the Connec- tfcut baseball league directors at Geo. Caneron's Hotel Sea View yesterday afternoon the players of the North ampton and Holyoke clubs thrown out of the league recently, were again turned down in their claim for back salaries The league magnates voted unanimously that 1t wasn't within their power to assume any liabilities of clubs and therefore disposed of the matter in short order.
 Secretary James H. O'Rourke of Bridgeport remarked that he couldn't t see a chance whereby the players could get their back salaries from the league He stated that there is noth- ing in the league constitution making the league responsible for the payment of the clubs /debts.
 Manager Bill Luby of Northampton and Manager Mike Doherty of Holyoke were on hand early in the afternoon and presented their claims to the lea gue directors. Manager Luby asked President Tracy if the matter would receive attention and was told that 1t would President Tracy told Man ager Doherty to wait around as he would be given a chance to be heard and present his case.
 The directors were in session about Journedl without even notifying Messrs. Luby and Dohertyi who were waiting outside, of the action taken in the matter. The managers were simply ignored and were not given chance

CORNELL AND COLUMBIA
 FAVORED IN BIG RACE Hudson River Regatta Scheduled to Commence at 6 O'Clock
 Today
Especial from United Press )

Poughkeepsie, June 27-Thousands of students and grads" began whooping things up in Poughkeepsie early today, while the crews of five universities, for whom all the enthusiasm was be- ing expended, were quietly loafing Tn their quarters along the Hudson.
 The situation had not changed a bi. since yesterday. The big regatta this afternoon was still considered a two crew race, Cornell and Columbia, with Pennsylvania, Syracuse and Wisconsin fighting it out for the last three places
 There was a slight show of Columbia money early today, but the New York CTS demanded 5 to from Cornell s packers and the latter were loath to give this price
 Coach Courtney, the wizard rowing instructor refused to predict the out come. Those who were honored by being permitted to talk to the "old man" said that he was not a bit wor- ried.
 Jim Rice, the Columbia coach let it slip out that Cornell would have to row better than Cornell was ever known to row before, or the Ithacans' string of victories would be broken.
 Scores of yachts are anchored along the course and the exodus to vantage points on the river began early this morning. Indications were that the varsity eight race would not be started before s o'clock, to be preceded by the varsity four and freshmen eight.

Tommy Houck Wins
 From Young Dyson
Philade.phian Gets Big Advan- tage by Cleverness in
 Early Rounds

Tommy Houck, the clever little Philadelphian whom Eddie McMahon is trying to pilot into the feather weight championship, made a step nearer to that goal last night when he defeated Young Dyson of Provi- dence in one of the fastest ten-round battles between little fellows held in New York in many months. The pair clashed at the Olympic A. C., in Har- lem.
 Throughout the first five rounds Houck, by his superior cleverness and stinging jabs and jolts. kept a big advantage over his adversary. To- ward the end of the fifth, however Dyson got home one of his swings and it staggered Houck.
 In the next three rounds Dyson resorting to the swinging tactics tha, have won eighteen fights for him by the knockout route, punished Houck severely. The Providence lad scored heavily with body blows, but in the ninth Houck again took the lead. A terrific left swing cut open Dyson's left eye, and rain of straight jabs and uppercuts made Dyson appear wobbly
 Both battled fiercely in the last ses- sion, but neither could land a knock out- the round being even. Dyson was prone to use his open hand, for Houck's speed kept him going at a fast clip, and it appeared as if he didn't have time to close his fists when he essayed a punch.
 Many of Dyson's well meant swings Houck avoided or took around his neck. The sturdier wallops that might have spelled victory for Dyson were sidestepped or blocked.
 At the end the honors rested with Houck.

Directors Vote Against Proposition and Then
 Map Out Schedule For Season

to attend the meeting and present their views.
 While the directors voted not to assume the liabilities of the North ampton and Holyoke clubs they in- structed Secretary O'Rourke to com municate with Secretary J. H. Farrell and ask his view in the case.
 Secretary ORourke brought out the fact that Bill Luby had no standing in the league as he never signed a Northampton contract and so his claim for back salary, amounting to $317 was dropped
 The former Northampton and Hol- yoke players through their representa- tives last night wired Secretary Far rell the result of the action of the league directors and will immediate ly take the matter to a higher author ity than the state league directors. The directors passed considerable time in preparing a schedule of games for the remainder of the season and after much debating Sid Challenger, the leagues official scorer was able to present a schedule which was un- animously adopted.
 The umpire situation came up and Supervisor Kennedy told the directors that he is to can Umpire O'Brien and appoint "Fido" Sutton to a regular job. This will make Lanigan. Nallin and Sutton, the regular umpires.
 All of the directors were represent ed at the meeting but Dan O'Neil who is in Cuba. He was represented by his son Frank, who had little to say in regard to league affairs.

Ty Cobb To Star
 In ''CoIIege Widow"
Detroit Slugger to Appear on Stage Next Winter in
 Ade Play

Detroit, June 27.-Tyrus Raymond Cobb is going on the stage. Base balls star will star elsewhere. He Is going to be a real actor man in a real play written by a regular play wright.
 At the close of the present base ball season Tyrus Is to appear in the glare of the footlights and the cal cium. Arrangement for his debut in the world of mimic have not been entirely completed but they are being developed rapidly. aewra B Vaughn Chaser, head of the stock Armstrong called by some The Great Amarican Playwright and Jimmy. Callahan, outfelder for the Chicago White Sox and an actor dur ing leisure moments, have Cobb's s theatrical venture in charge
 The visit of Armstrong to Detroit was for the purpose of arranging a suitable vehicle for Ty. Armstrong, Glaser and Callahan got together and discussed the proposition. All agreed that Tyrus could appear with suc- cess, and work will be started i'm mediately to fit him for his debut, which will be made next October.
 There was some difficulty in finding a suitable play for Ty. Chaser is of the opinion that George Ade's "The College Widow will be the best piece that can be secured. Glaser suggest the famous Ade comedy of college life be rewritten for Cobb.
 ''The College Widow has female character for the principal, role and the big game in the play is football. Chaser thinks that if the college set character be made for the opposite sex to what Ade originally made it and the big game in the play to be baseball instead of football, Tyrus would have the best means in the world to get in right.
 Armstrong agreed that the college play Of the Indiana humorist could readily be revised to suit Cobb and could be so fitted that none of the original value would be lost. Calla- han held a like opinion and the act or playwright and player-actor dis cussed the details at length.
 Should the three agree to use "The College Widow" the actual work of revising the play will fall on Arm strong and Callahan, while Chaser will devote his efforts to teaching Ty the proper way to handle himself in a started practicing the delivery of lines. He does not think it will be difficult to commit them to memory.
 In the last two years Cobb has re- 'ce1ved many big offers from theatri- cal managers. Last year he could have had contract to appear with a minstrel company for $500 a week and he had many offers, averaging $500 week. He turned all of these down and curtly remarked that ne would never go on the stage.
 Other ball players who have un- dertaken theatrical stunts during the winter months told Ty that the stage appearance was not quite as difficult as 1t appeared and they asked him to try his hand at it. Ty was finally convinced that it was a good thing and gave his consent to appear.

Darby 0'Brien To

Former Hartford Pitcher Making Great Record in Denver of
 Western League

Cincinnati. June 2S.-Of minor league pitchers there are three-all righthanders,t rs,though-who look worth grabbing. One is Elmer Brown. whom. the Cincinnati Reds fired un- gantiy at Akron. Some other club will acquire Mir. Brown and probably make him useful. Another is O'Brien of the Denver team. O'Brien must have some weird and woozy curves, week he struck out eighteen men in nine innings and in his next game he famed thirteen. Thanks to the in- dustrious efforts of MT. O'Brien. in great degree, Denver now leads the Western league and is getting a
 Another hurler worth grabbing is Parker of Superior. Wis. MT. Parker isn't so much of pitcher, though he wins his share of games, but where ton is in the amount of nerve and pepper he possesses. He is the only pitcher in. captivity who insults the batsmen. Many a pitcher yells to the umpire to stop the improper remarks of the coacher. but never till this Parker pitched was there a case where coachers and batsmen begged the umpire to stop the insults of the pitcher.
 Parker says things to the batsmen that make them foam, froth and fan and says things to the coachers that gets them so rattled they send their runners into the jaws of death. He is one continuous yelp from the start of the game up to the time the um- pire chases him for his expressions and any team that deals with him is so nerve-wracked that they be- come soft victims. That sort of a bal1-player may not be a perlor darl- ins, but how he would fit in with the silent Reds.
 We are a nice. quiet, gentlemanly herd" aid one of the. Red pitchers T thought. few days ago, that I'd make a noise and help work up little life. So went to the coaching line, whooped, believed, exhorted the runners and paved up a lot of dust All of a sudden I found that was all alone and that the rest of the Reds really seemed shocked at my being so noisy. I quit coaching and I won't open my face again."

CATCHER BILL CARRICAN
 FOOLED BY OWNER TAYLOR
Boston Catcher Held Out For Big Salary and Now Nuna-
 maker Holds His Job

President Taylor of the Boston Red Sox believes that when a player de- mands an exorbitant salary he should be taken down. Last spring when Taylor was signing his men Catcher Carrigan a star backstop, an- nounced that he wouldn't play 'un- less his terms were accepted. Carrf- gan figured that without him the Red Sox could not win, and he held out until the last moment. Then he reached a compromise with his em- ployer. But to Carrigan's surprise and dismay Taylor unearthed a young catcher named Nunamaker, who came to Boston practically unknown. Nun amaker soon proved that he possess ed sterling ability, and quickly earn ed a regular place behind the bat, where he has made a splendid record. Carrfgan, as a result, is bench warmer a greater part of the time, and has reached the conclusion that his services after all are not indis- pensable.
