BURNS EXCUSES PELKY.
Said His Pupil Did Not Box in Form
Nor Follow Instructions.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 3-Arthur
Pelkey still hopes to be heavyweight
champion Of the world. He realizes that
his defeat at the hands of Gunboat Smith
has temporarily placed him in the dis
card. but he declares he will yet reach the
top of the ladder.
After brief rest" said Pelkey last
night. Il will begin all over again and
fight my way to the top. While do not
want to make any excuses. / did not
show my true form Thursday. I can do
much better. but am going to prove t.
Tommy Burns. Pelkey's manager, dis
missed Pelkey's defeat with the brief re-
mark that the Canadian not only did not
run to form. but failed to follow instruc-
lions. Burns appeared more anxious to
present his claims for chance at the
title than he did to make excuses for
Pelkey. But Manager Jim Buckley is
firm in his determination to take Smith to
Paris for a match with Jack johnson,
and there seems little chance that Burns
will be accommodated.

outlaws. Incidentally the mysterious

is busy denying Mr.. Weeghman's state

Weeghman is mistaken. The promoters
of our clubs can do as they please in this
matter"
Il wish to make it clear that the Chi

clares Mr.. Weeghman. speaking In a mag
unanimous vein. "Comiskey is very popu-

MAY INCREASE
CIRCUIT TO EIGHT CLUBS
Lancaster and Easton Seek Admittance and 1t Is
Believed President Carpenter Will Be
Asked to Resign.

LANCASTER, Pa, January AT a
meeting held here yesterday afternoon Of
representatives Of all six clubs holding
membership in the Tri-State eLague there
was a unanimous expression of opinion
that the league should be enlarged to
eight clubs.
Lancaster and Easton were looked
upon as being the best towns in which
to place clubs.
Yesterdays gathering, informal in
character, was called at re request of
H. Kister Free, president of the York
club President Charles f. Carpenter
was not present, because he was not in
vited. While the session was secret, it
was understood that a number of fmpor-
tant questions were acted upon, includ-
ing the election of a new president.
After the adjournment Of the meet
ing. the following official statement was
issued:
Will Meet C'.rpenter.
"A committee. consisting Of II. kister
Free OF York and Mercer Tate of Harris
burg. was appointed to meet President
Carpenter at Harrisburg next Monday.
the day prior to the annual meeting OF
the league, to express to him the wishes
of the owners In regard to the conduct OF
the business OF the league for the coming
season.
While those present were reluctant to
discuss the presidency, 1t was admitted
that the real intent OF the announcement
is that President Carpenters resignation
viii be asked for. He was elected to the
office of president, secretary and treas
urer in 1911 for a term Of five years at
a salary Of 5000 per year.
There was a general unanimity of opin-
ion among the owners that il q vacancy
should occur they would be favorable to
the election Of George M. Graham at
Philadelphia

the league developed the fact that there
is prospect of Lancaster having a Tri-
State tea magain. Those interested are
planning to hold a public meeting In the
near future, when an effort will be made
to learn the sentiment of the citizens on
the question of supporting club.
Big Men to Attend.
Base ball men Of national reputation
will be here to address the meeting and
help to arouse enthusiasm.
Base ball fans in Easton have been
making very promising overtures to the
league, and it is believed that II Lancas-
ter decides to enter Easton will be the
eighth club.
Those present at the meeting yesterday
were II. Kister Free and Alvin Reist of
York, w. Harry Baker and Mercer Tate
of aHrrisburg. Thomas Brown and Peter
Cassidy of Wilmington. w. ]. Morris OF
Trenton, A. H. Balliett Of Allentown,

Strange to relate, he who stands first in

to have a chance at it, now that Bat
Nelson has honest to goodness retired!
Among devotees Of the minor branches
of sport three names stand out on the
long service honor roll. George Bothner,
after more than twenty years on the mat,
is still topnotcher among the wrestlers.
1t is rumored that William Larned, the
many time champion of the tennis court,
is to return to competition next season.
Larned has been prominent in the sport
for over fifteen years. Mel. Sheppard is
still one of the best middle distance men
in the world despite thirteen years on the
cinderpath.
But after all, Father Time is the cham
pion of champions. Dixon, Young, Fitz-
simmons; and the rest have passed. Old
Pop Time remains. The athletes fight is
grand but a losing one.

notwithstanding the fact that the Fed
eral League threw quite a scare INTO
organized base ball. and for time ere
ated the impression that 1t was to be
formidable rival to the two major leagues
the coming season, 1t would not be at all
surprising if the entire venture fell
through.
There have been so many conflicting
announcements made by the ofncials OF
the new league that. IT is plain perfect
understanding as to what Is contemplated
does not exist Incidentally. nearly every
one of the players reported to have
jumped to the Federals has hurried into
print with a denial. Charles Weeghman.
who is charged with being at the head
of the Chicago club, is making all sorts
of statements calculated to snow the
prosperous condition of the league, which
are regularly denied by that mysterious
individual, John \. Gilmore, president OF
the organization.
TIE rumor, too, is out that Tinker has
not signed the contract the league mas
boasted If. 1t is said that Tinker pro-
poses &c fill several vauoesHle ehSase
ments around Brooklyn and New YORK,
and that the story of his signing was for
the purpose of advertising his theatrical
tour.
Those who have had occasion to
speak for the league have been very
extravagant in the use OF ngures' sa,
it is a matter of fact that no real
money has been shown. Base ball men
