Glover at any time, any place and at

that he met Benny Leonard and
Mickey Dunn and several other prom

up his career.
Jimmy McVeigh did so well in his
bout with Young McClain at Allen

be matched with some prominent

Local Semi-PrOfessiOnaIs Now
Control Big Morris COun-

TO OPEN SEASON MAY IL

The All-Stars. one of the leading
semi-professional aggregations in
this section of the State, and known
this season as the Allentown profess
SIGNALS, will represent the Norris
town Athletic Association on the dia
mond this season. The deal was
completed at a meeting of the Nor
ris County Association held in Nor
ristown last night. The Stars not
only have the pick OF the Manufac-
turers' League of this city and the
Singer League of Elizabeth, but also
of last seasons Forest Hill nine. The
Stars have scored some notable VIC
tories over Morristown, and are pop
ular'in the Morris county town. The
season will open May IT,
1t is likely that they will meet the
Caldwell A. c. on Decoration Day, II
suitable arrangements, already under
way, pull through. The Stars scored
a II to victory over the Caldwels
last year.
Stoll and Brown, who control the
All-Stars and Morristown franchise
are pair of popular leaders. They
were the prime movers in the or
ganization of the Manufacturers
League, and have done much to boom
the semi-pro game hereabouts. They
will endeavor to give Morristown the
best brand of ball obtaina BILE.
1t is likely that a series of games
win be arranged with Boonton,
Dover, Butler, Mendham and Summit.
The latter town will also be repre-.
scented by a big semi-pro nine this
season. Mayor Todd has lifted the
ban on colored ball teams. and it is
likely that such mines as the Lincoln
Giants, Cuban Stars, American Giants
and Mohawk Giants will perform in
Morristown against the All-Stars.
Sunday games only will be played at
Morristown
The personnel of the All-Stars will
be as follows: Armstrong, Huntley

OUTLAW CLUBS TO
APPEAR IN NEWARK.
Promoters Plan Games Be-
tween AII-Star Semi-PrOs
and Feds.
WILL HAVE ENCLOSED PARK

A scheme to organize an all-star
semi-pro team, to obtain closed
grounds and then book Federal
League clubs to appear here every
Sunday is being fostered by two men
we'll known in local circles. Dave
Driscoll, who is to be business man
ager of the new organization, has
already entered into negotiations
with the arrangements of several of
the Independent league clubs. While
in Baltimore recently, he dropped in
to see the owners of the Terrapins
as the "Baltifeds' are known. Man
ager Otto Knabe and his team will
be the first attraction.
The main hitch just now is in OBJ
tanning grounds.
Two favorable sites have already
been looked over and a contract has
already been placed for the erection
of an eight-foot fence. The delay in
selecting grounds is due chiefly to the
fact that one of the sites under con-
sideration is wanted by a firm which
intends to erect factory on this
piece of property. There was talk of
locating on Elizabeth avenue and
those behind the scheme have been
making inquiries about obtaining a
lease on a site in that section. 1t is
expected that a suitable place will be
obtained by Monday. The prospects
Just now, however, are that the
scheme will be realized.
One of the men connected with the
enterprise said today: II believe that
local fans would take kindly to an
opportunity to see all the Federal
League stars pitted against crack
semi-pro team, different organiza-
ton playing every Sunday. 1t would
not be at all difficult to get these
Fed teams over from Brooklyn, as
they are not allowed to perform there
on Sundays and the jump would not
be expensive.
Local fans, | am sure, would turn
out in large numbers to see the Balti-
more team, with its former Interna-
tional League fayorites, Swacina,
Meyer, Quinn and Jacklistch in the
first contest.
I'VE have been in communication
with all of them and are laying our
plans to arrange the schedule so that
every one of the teams will show here
sometime during the season. On other
Sundays, we will play the best teams
In this vicinity. Suitable accommoda-
lions, grandstand and bleachers will
be arranged to provide for large
crowds

Army and Navy Authorities
May Reach Compromise

NEW YORK, April lin an effort
to settle the controversy between the
Army and Navy athletic authorities
over the location of the 1914 football
game, the Army and Navy Club at
Washington has suggested a compro-
mise which gives the Middies the
privilege of selecting Washington
this year and permits West Point to
choose New York In 1915
News that such u compromise had
been suggested served to make those
interested in bringing the Army Navy
game to this city next fall redouble
their efforts to make the contest an
annual event in New York city.
The same objection applies to
Washington that caused philadelphia
to lose the annual contest-the alb
sence of accommodations for the
spectators.

President Hedges said he did not

The same enthusiasm which greeted
the Federal Baseball League openings
at Baltimore and Pittsburgh was fol-
lowed up yesterday in st, Louis and
Kansas City. Fully $4,000 persons
turned out at the game in the former
city between the St Louis and In
