Meyer, Billy Zimmerman and
Tim Jordan Are Lost on
the Draw.

There were surprises galore yester-
day when the first dispatches from
Cincinnati containing the names of
the drafted players from the Inter
national League reached here. The
biggest surprise of the day was that
no one put in a draft for Harry Swa-
Gina, the eleyerest ~all-around first
saeker in the minor league, and one
of the best hltters in the lnterna-
tional League. The Chicago Nation
ais put in a draft for Tim Jordan.
But Tim was not drawn, Fischer. a
catcher, who spent most of the sea
son in the New York State League,
being the man who was plucked by
Brooklyn from Toronto. Several clubs
wanted Benny Meyer. the former
Tiger star Cleveland and Detroit, in
the American League, and Brooklyn.
Boston and the New York clubs, OF
the National League, wanted Benny,
but he lost out in the draw, though
he was eager to go up and get an
other big league trial.

METROPOLITAN ASSN
ELECTS SULLIVAN AGAIN

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE Metro
politan Association of the Amateur
Athletic Union at it's annual meet
ing last night, with all the clubs in
New York and Connecticut and the
greater part of New Jersey repre-
scented, with a total of elghty-four
votes, reelected President James e.
sullivan and other officers and Handi-
capper Obertubbessing.
The ~treasurer's report showed the
association to be in a flourishing con-
dition, with a surplus of $6,063. The
most profitable events of the past
year were the boxing, wrestling and
senior championships.
Considerable surprise was evinced
when it was announced that Jacob
Stumpf, Grace A. C.; George
Mathews, Long Island A. c., and J. M.
Connolly, Dominican Lyceum, had
been elected members of the regis
tration committee last night. The un-
expected touch was given by the ele-
walton of Mathews, who stood second
in the contest. with 40 votes, Stumpf
being first with II votes, and Connolly
third, with 40. John Degman. st.
Bartholomew A. c., was expected be-
fore the voting to give Mathews a
good rub for the position. In fact,
it was expected that more than one
ballot would be necessary, on account
of the rule that each candidate must
receive a majority in order to be
elected. But Degman just missed
election, coming fourth, with al votes.

DRAFTS FURNISH MANY SURPRISES:
MOST SOUGHT PLAYERS NOT DRAWN

the New York Americans. Dent will
be under a good leader in Harry
Wolverton, and If he continues to
improve as he did here the last few
months will hold his own with the
big fellows.
Five clubs We're after Dent; the
Brooklyn and Boston Nationals put in
drafts for him, as did Washington,
New York and Detroit. in the Amer
lean League. Billy Zimmerman was
wanted by the Brooklyn and Chicago
Nationals, while Harry Smith was
wanted by Brooklyn for the draft
price, as was George Bell. Only one
man can be taken from each club,
and Dent was the lucky player to adj
vance. Billy Zimmerman nay be
taken over by Brooklyn anyhow In
some sort of a deal. Newark will
therefore enter into the race next
veal with the best team that ever
started q season for Newark. Such
men as Swacina, Collins, Billy Zim-
