Drisc0II Gets Record
In Defeating Kiviat

BUFFALO. n. Y. March 6.-Joe
Driscoll Of Buffalo defeated Abel Kivfat.
holder Of the worlds indoof record. In
the three-quarter mile run at the Sew
fourth Regiment games last night.
incidentally he hung up new world
record for that distance.
Joe was given ten yards by the handi-
capper. which he modestly declined and
started at cvens with the New YORK
wonder. Joe's hunch was coed. He
trailed Kiviat all the way ni'tii the last
lap, when the two were leading the
crowd. Then Joe let loose. For awhile
they raced at even. then slowly and
surely the Buffalo lad pulled away,
beating Kiviat by eight feet and cover
ing the distance in the remarkable time
of 3:07 The old worlds indoor record
was 3:oS % and was held by Kiviat.
Driscoll received the applause of the
crowd i'm his usual modest manner.

WEAVER IS CERTAIN
OF SHORTSTOP JOB
Callahan Declares Buck Is To
Have Call Over Joe Berger,
But Will Keep Latter.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, March 16.-
George. alias Buck, Weaver. is certain
Of his position at shortstop this year,
and Frank Miller. the recruit secured
from the San Francisco team of the
Pacific Coast League, is the most prom
Using of the young twirlers.
That's what Manager Callahan said
before the White Sox left Sacramento
for Oakland tonight. Weaver's aggres-
siveness has won him the position. but
Joe Berger. the recruit VINO has given
Weaver such a fight, will be carried by
the South Side team. The reports from
Gleason, who is in charge of the second
squad of the baseball men on the coast.
have been strong enough to cause Cal
Iahan to decide to keep Berger.
After the second game against the
Sacramento team the manager was in a
talkative mood.
'.Weaver will start at short said he.
Weaver is aggressive. IN my opinion
the fight which Berger mas made for
the position hae made better player
of Buck The moment he realized that
his position really sSaw %as IN mbs ,eopSardy Ss sos nd
do. That's the spirit, the spirit that
makes a ball club a winner. OF course,
If Buck should slump Berger would
have a chance. But right now Weaver
has the call.
"I have determined to carry Berger
He looked a great ball player. when we
were at Paso Robles. Letters from
Gleason tell me that he is even better
than / at first imagined. On top Of
that, the coast fans and critics have
given him such a boost that | am con-
vinced 1t will be a mistake to allow him
to 90. So Berger can be accounted
among the fellows who will be with the
team when the sea son starts.
Miller looks the best of the recruit
pitchers. and he will be given an oppor-
tunity of showing what he can do. He
is still back at Paso Robles. but will
join the squad in Oakland on Monday.
He will make the trip to Los Angeles,
end when North with us 1 expect to
find out what he can do. He has been
handicapped by Ill health, but we will
know soon whether he can live up to
the good impressions he created"
Manager Callahan will not go to Los

MAY POSTPONE THE
ELECTION TOMORROW
Officers of Amateur Commission
Not Likely to Be Chosen at
First Meeting of Body.
RULES COMMITTEE REPORTS
Indications Point to Large
Number of Leagues in Dis
trict of Columbia Fields.
Sy BRYAN MORSE.

A radical recommendation to change
the governing body of the Amateur
Baseball Commission may cause post
ponement of the annual election, which
Is scheduled to be held at Spaldings 8
store when the commission gets to-
gether for its first meeting of the year
tomorrow night.
1t is understood that the rules COM
mittee will hand in its report, which
will recommend change in affairs. and
this will In all probability necessitate
holding the annual election after the
first meeting.
That the three-man system of govern
ing the amateur commission will be
adopted seems to be foregone con-
clusion- Talk among the amateurs
seems to indicate that the proposed
changes in the constitution will go
Through.
Heretofore. the managers of the vari-
Gus teams have been instrumental in
having the commission cali a meeting,
but this year, for the reason that other
activities In the city have claimed so
much time and attention the meeting
has been called together from the other
end. President Young. realizing that
much was to be done for the body, is
sued the call through Secretary Shurt-
LEFT.
So far several managers have applied
to the secretary for contracts to sign
up players, which seems to indicate that
the amateurs are waking up and that
in a few days managers will be try
ing out their teams and endeavoring TO
get together fast aggregations for the
pennant races in the various circuits.
Tomorrow night at Spalding's the
amateur moguls get together for the
purpose Of listening to the rules COM
Imittee and passing on the new meas
ures to be adopted. After this the vari-
Gus presidents will outline their meth
