REFUSE REQUEST OF
 NEW JERSEY CLUB
To Invade Bronx, as Giants Hod
 Territorial Rights.

New York Feb. 10.-The National league has decided to refuse the re- quest of the International league to invade the Bronx, As radical measure to save the Jersey City club, President Barrow, of the Interna- tionals, asked that the club be trans ferred to the Bronx, where several well-known promoters have promised their aid.
 President Hempstead of the Giants, stated yesterday, after the question had been discussed by all the club owners of the National league, that h. was very much against the Inter- nationals invading the territory of the Giants. The National league will support MT. Hampstead al today S meeting and reject the request
 President Tener is also opposed to 1elinquishing National league territory to a minor league, so in spite of the bad plight in which the International league finds itself on account of the inroads made by the Federal league last season, they can look for no aid from the National league.
 President Barrow was greatly dis appointed yesterday when he heard of the attitude of MT. Hampstead and President Tener. We have always been loyal to baseball" said Presid ent Barrow, "and I think the National league is making a mistake How ever, we will not quit, but will keep the Jersey City team in that city. We are in this fight to stay
 Experienced baseball men are also somewhat surprised at the action of the National league in refusing the re- quest of the International league. In view of the present baseball war with the Federal league it was supposed that all the leagues of organized base ball would stick together and help each other through the fight.
 "A baseball team in the Bronx is sure to be a certainty some day." said an old baseball official yesterday. land the refusal to let the Internationals come in only leaves the way open for the Federal league"
 The question involved in the Ma . tional leagues refusing to allow an- ether club to invade the Bronx in- wolves an old rule in the National

There is no doubt in my mind but what MT. O'Rourke voted as I instructed him. In all meetings if a vote is put before the house and motion is carried even if if it is not unanimous, some one usu- ally makes a motion to make it so and consequently it appears on the minutes of the meeting and is spread on the records as such. Evidently such thing happened and MT. ORourke could truthfully say that it was unanimous

 Columbia started ahead but the lead quickly shifted. Columbia surgcd into a lead that lasted until the first half was nearly played before Yale tied the score at 12 all after Colum- bia seemed at one time to have the game well in hand by a l i to mar. gin, the greatest of the game. Colum- hia then made a single goal before the first half closed
 Yale quickly tied the score upon re- sumption of play, but Columbia forged into a 10 to 5 lead before Yale's next brace came, which tied the score at 19 all. Each team increased it's total but Columbia held its ad- vantage until the final whistle sound ed victory by the slenderest of mar-' gins. Columbia won through son-e wonderful long shots especially by Calder.

league concerning territorial rights. MT. Hempstead pointed out yesterday that territorial rights had been re- garded as traditional in the National league. and he deemed it adNlsablc not to make d new precedent. Each club has exclusive rights to certain territory and no other clubs of or Sanized ball may play within these limits.
 There has been some talk that the National Commission would come to in a financial way by drawing upon it's "war fund" This fund was supposed tC have amounted to a large amount of money accumulated each year by the commission from the various clubs and from the worlds series games. Since the Federal league war came up, however, there has been no talk of this war fund.-" and it is now stated that organized ball has no such fund at their command to aid in carrying any of the minors through their troubles.
 It is stated that the American league has a fund which may be drawn upon to aid any of their own clubs in case of emergency, but Presi- dent Barrow stated yesterday that there was no war fund" held by the National Commission. The cOmm1S- sion. it seems, is conducted at q large expense. and several well-known base ball men are in favor of abolishing it, as it costs too much money.

New York, Feb. 10.-Approval of the 1915 playing schedule, the adop- tion of new waiver rule and an official decision to withhold New York territorial rights sought by the International league in the BronX' constituted the program before the National league today.
 The league yesterday discussed the recalling of waivers. This custom has been abused during the past feW seasons, and a rule against the re- call of waivers after they are once made probably will be approved to- day. Harry N Hampstead, president of the Giants, has declared himself against permitting the internatlonais to put team in the Bronx rms question will come up today for final settlement. President Tener is un- derstood to agree with MT. Hemp stead There are rumors Of many trades. The Philadelphia club is involved in several proposed deals, but the only one manager Moran is sure of is the trade of Adams,' stock and Demaree of the Giants for Hans Lobert. The deal with Boston will not be settled until later in the year on account of the illness of Man ager George Stallings> of the Braves.
 Managers Moran, Herzog and Dresnahan are said to be arranging 8 trade Infielder Niehoff of the Reds is wanted by both the Cubs and PhiIlies and it was said that the com plication would result in a big three cornered deal between these clubs.

BOUT AT GARDEN
 CL|NCH|NC AFFAIR
Shugrut 0u(c|aSses Welsh; Bout Decides Ljtt|e for Championship.

1 New York, Feb. 1O.-Uninteresting and unsatisfactory are the two words which best describe the boxing bout at Madison Square Garden last night between Freddie Welsh. the light weight champion, and Joe Shugrue. If there were a choice of one over the other. as it seems there must be to satisfy the average boxing show crowd, those attending this affair leaned toward Shugrue.
 Welsh showed nothing of the finish or the hitting ability which might be expected of champion. Just why the Englishman should show up so poorly as he has lately is difficult of aralysis. Some consider that he is playing the safe game, so that he might insure the title as a future drawing card while others maintain that his lack of hitting ability indi- Cates that his hands are not in the best of shape. and that he is afraid to use them to the extent of his striking ability
 At any rate, Shugrue was after the champion all the time last night, and for this reason is probably entitled to
 
 found in the event. There has been talk of Shugrue as a clever boxer, but last night he did not evidence this in any particular degree, and what clean blows were landed went to the credit of Welsh The Jersey lad was doubt less imb bued with a desire to win the championship. This was perfectly evident from the first round, and he wanted to put his opponent out, but his blows lacked the force, and were not cleanly delivered for the most part.
 Fully one-half of the total boxing time was taken up with clinches. Both men were offenders in this re- srect and the referee was forced to pull them apart continually. This de- tracted from the event materially and more than once the crowd broke out in disapproval. In any event, the bout which had been looked forward to as one that would be full of inter- esting action as both men had been reported in the best of condition held little that would appeal to the lover of boxing skill.
 There were one or two instances during the bout when Welsh showed a flash of real ability He counted "llH d Jew neatly pIdCeu DlOWS ana these emphasized the lack of them during the greater part of the ten rounds. There was too much of a tendency on the part of Welsh to cover up. He seemed to be afraid of Shugrue getting in a telling punch and seldom opened up with steam.
 In the first round Welsh showed at bis best, and it really looked as if the bout might prove interesting, for Shugrue was aggressive. It was a false alarm, however. ,Shugrue was in the latter rounds willing to force the issue, but he did not have the .at- tack that could get by Welsh de- cisively and his clumsy eagerness served to mess the event up com- pletely.
 From the point of pure interested ness the semi-final between Johnny Drumrnie, who is one of Shugrues sparring partners, and Kid Black, who comes from the Welsh camp, was better than the final. Drummie had tho event on points even though he was fast tiring in the last few rounds The preliminary between Willie Doyle and Joe Shea of Waterbury went to 1 a draw.
