and was widely copied usually
without credit, by various Southern
papers. including at least one in
Atlanta.
1t was a bully good list.
The only trouble with It was that
IT contained FOURTEEN fragrant
errors.
1t is an amazing fact that no man
in the Southern league knows the
full list of managers, neither the
Shading nor the Reach record
books contain it. and the Southern
league has no complete list.
The facts were threatened with
loss in oblivion. So We have dug
them out,

Opponents of boxing may de-

and brutalizing of all forms of
sport, but by doing so they chal-

of rough sport. In the matter of
humanity there is no other sport
that compares favorably with box
ing as conducted in my own state
today. AS for the assertion that
only thugs patronize boxing, the
spectators at any club in New York
state furnish a living refutation of
the accusation.
There is no question as to the
benefits of boxing among the youth
of the country. Among boys who
know how to handle themselves
with gloves there is less brawling
and there is less carrying of con-
cealed weapons. Boxing, like all
other rough sports, inculcates man

LOOK FOR PEACE At
NATIONAL SESSION

NEW YORK. Dec. S. - So much
has been done in advance by way of
smoothing the pathway OF the Ma
tional league magnates, that on the
eve Of their assemblage for their
annual meeting here. ever prospect
prevails that harmony Will continue
with them during their session. The
question of the presidency annually
has been something of a stumbling
block, but this year the agreement
that John X. Tener. governor of
Pennsylvania, shall be elected to the
office. succeeding Thomas ]. Lynch.
Gov. Tener, who may attend the
meeting will probably be elected for
u term of four or five years at sal
airy not less than $4,000 a year. His
incumbency of the office for the first
year will be largely honorary, how
ever as his term as governor does
not expire until 1915 but the under
standing is that he is to be consulted
freely on matters of policy. although
the actual work of the position is 10
be taken care of by Secy. John y.
Heydler
With the presidency disposed of.
the magnates have several subjects
OF interest demanding their attention
when they meet Tuesday afternoon.
For one thing there is likely to he q
careful consideration of the demands
of the Players Fraternity for changes
in the players contracts, in rules of
the draft and in other phases of the
relations of ball players and club
owners. The league is expected TO
decide. however, to leave the prob
lem for the national commission to
settle in behalf of both the Major
leagues.
Several minor changes in the play
ing rules are on the card for dis
cussion and the schedule committee
is TO be appointed. This committee
probably will comprise Secy. Heydler
and Pres. Barney Dreyfuss of the
Pittsburgh club.
Several deals for players probably
will be negotiated.
