MAKING A HARD HITTER
Connie Mack Credited with
Teaching Bris Lord to Bet.

BrIs Lord, left fielder of the Athletics. is
an example of a player who can be taught
to bat Lord has always been fair hitter
hut the years that he has been in the 300
class have been few.
Lord batted scant .254 in 1910, but his
average was pulled down by a batting
Of the season Lord was traded to Philadel-
phia. and his batting Immediately improved.
In the games he played with the Athletics
in 1910 he batted close TO the 300 mark.
Last season he did the best batting of his
career. He was carefully tutored by Mack
down South, and Connie broke him of the
habit of hitting bad balls. He also coached
him in place hitting. and the stout man
from Upland can now whale the ball to any
field.
So we'll did Lord improve in batting that
he was credited with an official percentage
of $40 in 1874 games, an exceedingly clever
showing.
Lord made his major league debut with
the Athletics in 1905. lie played three sea-
sons In philadelphia, but In the spring OF
1908 was sent TO Now Orleans. Cleveland
obtained MIN in the spring Of 1909, and he
STAYED with the Maps until the middle OF
the season Of 1910, when he was traded to
the Athletics
Lord has the unusual record of helping
the Athletics win three pennants and two
worlds championships during a connection
with the Mackmen OF less than five seasons.
From an ordinary outfelder he is now re-
garded as one Of the stars Of the American
League.

in National Tournament

York Turn Verein was strongly represented
in the league and had been one of fits char
ter nembers the championships would
bring out the best of the swords men In the
affiliated organizations. This would in
clude the leaders who each season have
held a special series Of bouts for a local
title in Brooklyn.
He said further:
1T is my belief that lawn tennis, not only
as a sport, but as pastime, has long owed
its popularity to the factthat the game ad-
mitted Of the competition OF men and
women. In many respects lawn tennis and
fencing move along lines Of similarity.
The social side or adjunct of the sport is
distinctly one Of it's most attractive feat
ures. We are inviting the girls I'm with us
because many of them are splendid fencers,
good sports, and we have determined that
there is nothing anti-suffrage about the
Fencers League and fencing in this coun-
try. Unless all signs fail, the coming
championships will eclipse any previous
fencing matches held in this country or

ATHLETIC PLAN APPROVED
Princeton Decides on a Board of
Control for Sports.
lRv Telegraph TO The Tribune. J

Princeton. y. j.. Feb. 2S.-By unanimous
vote the members OF the three upper classes
of Princeton University adopted the new
constitution for the Athletic Association to-
night. There was practically no dissent
against the new constitution, but it will
have 10 be passed by the trustees of the
university before II can go into effect.
Professor McLenahan, chairman OF the
faculty committee on outdoor sports point
ed out in a brief speech that tho new con-
stitution would simplify the control OF ath-
IetIcs. which is now vested in three different
committees, and would make for perma-
nent system and policy. The resignation
OF W. w. Roper as athletic director meant
that whatever policies system had devel-
oped would have to be changed in the
future. It is hoped that the new constitu-
ton will aid in preparing the way for a
svstem that will be satisfactory and per-
manent
The chief change called for in the con-
stitutIon is the abandonmet of the position
Of director OF athletics, while the graduate
advisory board waits the creation Of a
hoard OF control This board will contain
three alumni appointed by the graduate
council. three members of the faculty COM
mlttee on outdoor sports selected by that
committee and three undergraduates ap-
pointed by the undergraduate athletic COM
mittee
The board will have supreme control and
will perform the duties formerly attended
TO by the director Of athletics undergradu-
ate executive committee and the faculty
committee on outdoor sports, all three OF
which worked separately.

Col. Thompson Offers
a Trophy to Add
Some Zest.

Women are to be admitted at last as
tournaments of the Amateur Fencers
League OF America. That was the decla-
ration of DR.. Graeme NJ Hammond, presi-
dent of the league, last night, and he even
went further in stating that the Fencers
Club OF New York was about to inaugurate
a series of weekly solrees in which teams
of women fencers, with the foils, would
meet teams OF men.
According 10 several OF the leading off,
cals Of the league the interest among
women has been stimulated and sharpened
by the visit of the Baroness de Meyer to
this country and her bouts. The fair
wielders OF the steel blade are now anxious
for open competitions. The result is that
the Amateur Fencers' League of America
has decided to conduct championship bouts
in classes for women this season for the
first time in the history of fencing in this
country.
DR.. Hammond was enthusiastic over the
plan last night. THE programme for the
championship titles and the divisions re-
mains to be determined upon" he said
THE league will officially offer the usual
medals, but II is likely that Colonel Rob-
ert NJ. Thompson also will offer valu-
able trophy as a prize for team match, or
something of that sort, as he has been
greatly interested In furthering the sport
of fencing among women In this country
Some months ago Colonel Thompson even
went so far as to get Charles latham w.
Scott O'Connor and others to suggest lists
of women fencers who might be prevailed
upon to come out for open competition.
The appearance Of the Baroness de Meyer
the interest shown by the Colony Club and
others incidents have brought the women
forward, so that fencing bouts promise to
become even more popular than bridge
1T is certain that there will be no dearth
Of entries for the championships which
will be conducted in the grand bal. room
of the Hotel Astor along with the regular
championships the last week of April. We
expect that Mrs. William H. Dewar, of
Philadelphia, who defeated the Baroness de
Meyer in her last bout here, will be a com
petitor. 1t is probable that she will be ac-
companied by other experts developed by
Herr Herman, who instructs class Of $50
women in Philadelphia"
According to James Murray, the fencing
instructor at Columbia University, the en-
thusiasm among the women at the pros
pect of actually competing I'm an open
championship for national honors is un-
bounded. He supplemented the list of DR..
Hammond by naming Mrs. Stuyvesant
Fish, jr, Miss Adelaide Baylis,, Miss
Marion Shinwald, Miss Edith Kahn. Mrs.
Jesse Simons and others. Then it was
pointed out that there was an active fenc-
ing organization at Barnard College and
also at Wellesley and at Byrn Mawr.

JAFFE BEATEN AT CHESS
Makes Bad Blunder When a
Draw Game Was in Sight.

Oscar Chajes, of Chicago, and Charles
Jaffe, Of this city, contested the second
game of their series at the rooms Of the
Manhattan Chess Club yesterday with the
result that the former Western champion
won after forty-six moves and tied the
score.
Jaffe had the white side of queens
pawn opening, which was developed on
both sides with excellent judgment. Jaffe
won a pawn on the thirty-seventh move, as
the Chicagoan had jeopardized it in order
to leave bishops commanding squares OF
different color on the board With only
queens and bishops to work with draw
should have been the result, but Jaffe, on
his forty-sixth turn, committed grieyous
oversight, costing him piece and the
game.
In accordance with expectations, Rudolph
Spielmann, of Munich, carried off the first
prize i'm the international tournament just
concluded at Abbazia, Austria. Spielmann
wound up with total score of fifteen
games won to six lost so that he did not
