State League
AbOiSheS the
Glass A Rule

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Feb. S.-Presi-
dent John p. Farrell, of the New York
State League, yesterday notified all
the club of the circuit h a the
Class A six player rule had been abol-
ished by q mail vote of h magnates.
This rule was adopted early in the sea-
son and provided that each club was
not to carry more than six players on
its team at N time who had seen
service in a class A organization. The
rule was attacked by Manager Clymer,
of Willkesbarre. and others, and at the
recent State League meeting at Troy
was h principal topic discussed.
The meeting ended without any deci-
sion being reached, but ten days were
allowed for all clubs to decide the
question by a mail vote. There were
five votes cast to rescind the rule and
three to continue it. wilkesbarre.
Syracuse, Utica, Albany and Elmira

McGinnity Says Eddie Was Not
Officially Appointed to
Place, as Supposed.

Who will be the 1912 captain of the
Newark Club? Joe McGinnity says
that he has not yet decided. He also
denies that Eddie Zimmerman was
ever officially appointed to the posi-
ton for the coming year. The cap
taincy of a baseball team in modern
times is becoming more and more a
position of responsibility because of the
development of the strategic end of the
game.
Last year the Bengals worked under
three different field leaders, starting
with Lew McAllister, a catcher:
George Smith, second baseman, and
winding up with Eddie Zimmerman
as the recognized third baseman.
An inielder naturally has the call
over an outfelder, for there are far
more opportunities to block the ag-
gressive tactics Of the enemy In the
first defense battalion than in the
o~uterworks. The Tigers have not had
q real aggressive and heady captain
since Larry Schlafiy played second
base. Larry knew how to run the
team when in action. and there was
many a clever play he pulled off. Ed
die zimmerman is the most logical
man for the job, and it was understood

CHANGE IN BROWNS BILL.

There has been a change in one of the
preiiminaries in the all-Jersey show
which is to be pulled off at the Brown
Athletic Association on Saturday night.
Instead of the Joe Sklimar and Young
Russell bout the club has secured Ed
die Sullivan and Joe Bold, both of
whom are from Jersey City.
Dave Dillon. who is to meet frankie
Nelson in the star bout, is In the best
of condition and is doing his work al
Browns Gymnasium, assisted by Young
Shugrue, the Jersey City featherweight.
frankie Nelson, Dillon's opponent, is
doing his work under the watchful eye
of his manager. George Broad. Broad
thinks Nelson is a coming champion
and keeps him working every week.

Bengals VIII Not Have Any
Mascot This Year, 1t
Is Said.

but he is moi of the type of player who
makes IN ideal leader, and we have
a sneaking notion hat Fisher though
otherwise qualified would lack agrees
sivenesS.
The appointment of a captain seems
to lay between Eddie Zimmerman and
Harry Swacina, and Joe McGinnity is
allowing the fans to do a little
guessing.
If Joe McGinnity has his way, and il
is very likely that he will, there will
be no Tiger mascot in 1912. The Iron
Man" has lac trouble enough, he says,
with mascots who were a hindrance
and an encumbrance rather than a HELM
and a charm" The average small boy
cannot resist the temptation constantly
thrown open to him Of appropriating
baseballs and other removable para
phernalia used by The diamond per-
formers.
Business Manager George Solomon
has had an application from Harry
Bell, a local boy, whom he knows, and
George says that Bell is as clever a
mascot as Dick Hennessy, the Giants
mascot. George would like to give
Bell a. chance, but McGinnity is nan
aging the team n Joe has the say.

DEPENDS ON
FORMER TIGERS ARM
FOR SOL SUCCESS

Unless the throwing arm of Charley
Wagner, the Boston shortstop. has en-
tirely recovered. McAleer's team is very
apt to find itself badly handicapped be-
cause of its weakness at short field.
Reports have it that Wagner's arm has
not mended by reason of his long lay
off, and that McAleer will hav to look
around for some one to fill his shoes.
1t was the intention to shift Gardner to
third and Yerkes to second if Wagner
could play; but if Wagner's arm is
weak another change will have to be
made. Even with the brilliant outfield
of which Boston can boast and with an
apparently strong pitching staff there Is
little hope for the team to finish high
up in the race if its infield is not
up to the standard. There never has
been a championship team which could
not boast of a great infield.

LEWIS STARTS TO
TRAIN FOR BOUT
WITH M. GIBBONS

Willie Lewis has started hard train
ing. Willie moved up, bag and bag
gage, to Johnson's road-hoIse today,
where he will condition himself for the
match with Gibbons, which is sched-
uled for the Empire A. c. on February
%. Lewis is a little s&eptical about
meeting Gibbons; that is, he fears that
Gibbons will not go through with the
match as promised, and is anxiously
waiting for the Mcmahon boys to as
sure him that Gibbons has covered his
weight m appearance forfeit of 5000.
Lewis has maintained that Gibbons's
win was a Ike, and when given the
opportunity to meet the Westerner
again had his manager cancel his trip
to Europe for a fight, which, by the
way, should have netted him five times
more than he will get with Gibbons.

GIBBONS DOES
QUICK JOB ON
MIR. EASTMAN
Pulls Down Latter's Flag in the
Fourth Round While
He Sleeps.

Mike Gibbons, of St. Paul, accepted
welterweight champion, put the K. 0.
blow on Young Cashman's jaw in the
fourth round of a scheduled ten-round
bout at the Empire A. C. last night.
The New Workers. aspirations Lave
been cut very low for the time being,
while the Gibbons stock got a boost,
because the fam could see that the
Westerner really has something more
on the offensive than he displayed In
his bout with Jack Denning.
eastman was in good condition when
he entered the ring, but looked smaller
than his opponent. His weight was an
nouneed as 1491a, while that of Glib
bons was given as 15l1s pounds. AS
usual the New York al were with
the local lad and gave him a rousing
reception, while Gibbons had to con-
tent himself with a few9rounds here
and there.
Gibbons accomplished his great work
with his lightning jabs, which were al
ways followed by a right cross, and
the face of eastman was soon covered
with bumps and ridges.
Infghting was passed up, very few
blows being sent to the abdominal
regions.
In the opening number Cashman's
fast work was loudly cheered. He
came to the centre of the ring slowly
and at once went to work. b
was not ready for a quick onslaught
and was somewhat surprised when
eastman sent a singing left to his
law. Following this with an avalanche
of rights and lefts. eastman backed
his man to the ropes. Gibbons began
to lab, but was somewhat hindered by
the fast system of punching employed
by the Gothamite. 1t was Cashmans
round.
Inspired by his work, eastman sent
a left to Gibbons's face for the begin
ming Of the second session., but he was
rocked twice with left jabs. eastman
became bewildered and forgot to cover
himself, leaving his face the mark for
an onslaught of left jabs. eastman
was able to send across a few blows
to the face and body, but it was Glib
bons's round easily.
The third our was a different at
fair. Gibbons carried h fight to
eastman. Forced about the ring the
New Yorker became tired, and the con-
StanL roCkinS pdCh VI HIS ACoo hooo
him wild. In no way could he upset
the work of his fast ringmate. Near
the end of the round Gibbons sent a
right cross to the face that staggered
eastman, compelling him to hold with
one hand on the ropes. The bell saved
him..
Weakened from the terrible punish
ment he was receiving eastman had
lost considerable ground. Ate, feint-
ing with a right Gibbons sent across
a left and down went eastman for
the count of eight. The crowd thought
the fight was owe and were starting
to leave when eastman got up. Then
a left that had triphammer force landed
on the point of the jaw and eastman
was on the canvas limp. Referee n
did not bother counting, but picked up
eastman and carried him to his corner.
