.LAUNAY NOSEDOUT
IN 24-HOUR RACE
East Orange Roller Skater
Beaten One Foot in
Final Mile.

Arthur Launay, OF East Orange,
just missed victory for himself and
his teammate, Joe Woodwork, in the
finish of the twenty four hour roller
skating championship race at Madi-
son Square Garden, New York, last
night, losing in the final mile to Fred
Martin. of Milwaukee, by a foot.
Arthur Eglington was third.
Martin, Launnay and Eglinton were
started in the last mile by Dick
Rudolph, Of the Boston Braves, and
for the first five laps of the mile they
circled the track at a snail's pace.
Just before the finish Of the sixth lap
Martin, who had been skating on
the outer edge OF the banked track,
shot down into the Twenty-seventh
street straigbtaway and was off at
fun speed.
Launay and Eglngton Immediately
followed in pursuit, and the big crowd,
which had been merely curious during
the first few laps, were on their feet,
cheering wildly, For the next three
laps the three skaters were punched,
whirling around the track at top
speed, but Eglington could not stand
the terrific pace, and In the ninth lap
dropped behind the other two skaters
Martin was in the lead all the way
on the tenth lap. with Launay a few
inches behind him. As they swung
from the Madison avenue curve into
the Twenty seventh street stretch
Launay attempted to pass inside Of
Martin, but he trlpped momentarily,
and Martin shot across the finish line
With a victory for the Martin Bacon
team.
Launay brought second money to
the Launay- Woodwork team and
Eglington and Shipley divided the
prize for third place.

EASY VICTORY FOR
ST. MICHAEL
Basketball Warriors Capture
First Game of Series With
National Turner's.
WILLIE 0'TOOLE INJURED

IN a game. which during the first
period was marked with intense in
rerest and excitement, and afterward
vas only a romp for the home team,
members of the St. Michael's senior
team disposed of the National Turn
srs, AZ to 10, in the first of a series
af contests at St Michael's Hall last
hight. The visiting combination
started off in whirlwind fashion, and
before the first five minutes were
concluded Gilbert Schwab, one OF the
Bruce street teams forwards, had
tossed in four field baskets. At this
stage Willie O'Toole, one of the
Turner stars, was injured, having
been tossed against one Of the chairs.
His. injury, though slight, forced him
10 retire from the game, and he was
replaced by Matt Clark. After this it
seemed as though the Turner's team
work was broken up and the Saints,
by steady play, managed 10 top the
saliy at the end of the first half, Il

The Turner's players, on the re-
start, we're inclined to use rough tao
Tics, and, added with the clever foul
goal caging OF Otto Kelvin, they in
creased their advantage. In addition
ne Saints easily outclassed the visit

SION George Norman. the clever for

Arthur Irwin, the business man
ager and scout OF the New York
Yankees, was in town yesterday, and
the report became circulated that
Arthur was about to buy the Newark
Baseball Club. This isn't so. for Irwin
was here on pleasure bent, his object
being the six-day race at the armory.
Arthur visited the Evening Star
office, perpetrated a few jokes, and
then somebody tied the Newark Ball
Club to him, and the Peerless
Scout couldn't deny It nohow. Irwin
did not come alone TO Newark. With
him was big Fred" Schwerdt, an
actor, whose stage name is Fred
stanton. II there il one thing at which
Schwerdt, whose folks live in Bloom
field. is particularly good at It is
talking about himself. He Is a funny
fellow off az well az on the stage,
though ne has played the serious
drama with about equal success.
schwerdt was in fine fettle yester-
day, and with Irwin as a backstop for
his jokes, ne had not few local fans
really believing that he was going ia
buy the Tigers. To all questions
Sch verdi would say;
"Oh. yes, yes; am to buy the New
ark Club I am a local man, you
know, and that's what Newark wants
We will have q great team next sea-
son. and Mr.. Irwin here will be my
manager. How about IT, Arthur Ha
ha! Me for Newark and Newark

and laughed with him, and that's how

According to a story emanatina
from Pittsburgh, the Federal League
has finally decided that a minor
league is an absolute necessity. The
need OF smaller league in which te
develop players and send those who
are no longer up to the Federa1
standard had been felt for sometime.
The Feds had a secret meeting in
Chicago this week. but nothing war
given out of Importance. The story
leaked out in Pittsburgh, where II
has the official confirmation of Presi-
dent Gwinner, of the Pittsburgh Fed
eral League Club
The Tri-State League, which was a
failure last season, is the objective
point Of the outlaws, and 1t is be-
lieved that with the infusion of ne.
life, six-club circuit could be made
to pay. Whether the Tri-State car
be induced to secede is a question
In its outlaw days the Tri-State fang
enjoyed great baseball. but since Their
the cities have been practically deac
and the circuit was reduced to FIVE
clubs before the 1914 season ended.

The declaration that II. Norris
williams would be placed ahead OF
Maurice z. Mclaughlin by the rank
ing committee of the Unitel States
Lawn Tennis Association seems to be
a rather wild stretch Of the magma
ticn. Mclaughlin is far and away
ahead of Williams as a player. He
lost the national title TO Williams,
it is true, but that was more or less
OF a ffuke. Williams never showed
either the form or the class to beat
a Mclaughlin. The young man, who
has considerable pull and much pop
ularity, doesn't play as strong a
game or as clever a game as does
Mclaughlin. In the Davis Cup
matches Williams WIS entirely at sea.
The matches were too big for him
and he didn't know where he was at.
He was beaten rather handily by
both Brookes and wildlng, while Nc
Loughlin displayed wonderful form
and disposed OF the Australians in
clever style. To rank williams ahead
Of Mclaughlin isn't to be considered
for a moment, and 1t is doubtful If
the ranking committee ever thought
Of such thing. AS ! have stated
before, williams is a popular young
man and his friends may be playing
the game in his favor. But the best
tennis player in the world, on the
form he displayed during the past
season, is Maurice E. Mclaughlin.

he refused to observe sage advice.

The Newark six-day race has
turned out to be one of the greatest
in the history of short-hour contests
ever held. With Goullet and Hill a
lap in the lead when the race began
yesterday afternoon, the other riders
went mad" as the saying goes, for
fully six hours. During that time six
teams got on even terms with the
leaders. ana one of the teams-Spears
and Corry-gained back two laps.
The lap gained came about as a re-
suit of a combination of the other
riders against Goullet and Hill. These
boys showed wonderful speed ana
endurance. but they were finally rid
den into the ground and forced TO
give In TO the inevitable. sim, all in
all. it looks very much as if they
viii win the race in the hour finish
tonight
The method OF gaining back the
laps wasn't the fairest in the world,
but Goullet and Hill did their level
best as long as they could to prevent
it. The other riders simply put
everything mp 10 them and finally
their strength gave out. They are
the best team in the race, and only
an accident will prevent them from
winning. In all the wild sprinting,
they we're able to prevent Lawson
and Root. who would have been, no
doubt, the real contenders, from get.
ting back their lap and Fogler and
verri, who also seemed TO have "a
very fair chance at the finish, are
now out OF it, two laps behind. Goul-
let and Hill are bound to prevent
Lawson and Root from getting back
their lap, and there is a feud be-
tween these two teams. Lawson and
GoulIet almost came to blows, and
Root and Fogler are at swords
points. There is one more day to run,
and there is sure TO be much jam
ming" It has been very interest
ing race, but 1t has not been sup

kind in Newark Even If so. it has

FEW MINOR LEAGUERS
 BOUGHT THIS SEASON

At 12 o'clock last night the usual time limit for the purchase of minor league players by eh g 1na5ors expired, as twenty days must elapse before the drafting season begings. It is a noteworthy fact that fewer players have been purchased from the smaller leagues this year than ever before. In many cases mirior league clubs which at first demanded as much as $5.000 for their best players have gradually reduced their figures. until yesterday s1,e0o was the top price. with no talk CTS. When the drafting season opens on September Is itz5s said that. the big Ieaguers will ask dor a new rule pro- viding that players secured in that mannar will not be paid for in cash until they have signed contracts If the commission refuses to pass such a rule it is predicted that the drafting system will result in a frost.
 The presence or the Federal League Is one reason why the big fellows in Organized Baseball have decided to spend little pr no money for untried minor league talent The existence of the Players Fraternity is another obstacle in the way of the major Iea- gues. Players in the minor leagues, therefore, will not be able to obtain trials in the big leagues next season, while their present employers will be forced to get along without the usual easy money paid for their talent.
