RESOLUTION.

WHEREAS the Emmett Club has learned with deep regret, that death has claimed our brother THOMAS EGAN, whom the members of this Club have always held in the highest esteem and loved with the deepest affection.
 BE TT RESOLVED therefor, that while lowing in submission to the will of Almighty God, we publicly express the great sorrow that has befallen his relatives, his friends and ourselves by removing from our ranks one. who more than any one member has aided us in the furtherance of the principles for which this Club was founded.
 Although not born on Irish soil, our departed brother was imbued with un- swerving love for the land of his fathers and unceasing zeal for the promulgation of the principles for which Robert Emmett, in the words of Abraham Lincoln, gave the last full measure of devotion
 Brother Egans kindly and cheerful disposition, his courtesy in his deal ings with us, and the loyal and faith full attention which he devoted to the duties of the office of Financial Sec retary for the past five years shall ever enshrine him in our memories. The ties of fellowship and friendship, which grew up between us, as strong as those which bind blood brothers, but make our loss the greater.
 BE TT FURTHER RESOLVED, In token of our sorrow. that tn csc resolrl- tions be spread upon the records and that the paraphernalia of this Club be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the relatives of our deceased brother.

LUSH WANTS BRIDGEPORT.
Anxious to Manage Federal Minor
 League Club in That City. 4

In a story in the New York Press yesterday it was stated that Billy Lush wants to start a Federal league club in Bridgeport. Lush is said to be interested in the formation of the new minor league circuit which will include cities in this section. He has applied directly to President Gill more for a franchise.
 Billy, who is a Bridgeport boy, is baseball coach at New York univer- sity at present. After leaving the big leagues he coached the Yale squad and also managed Montreal one season. It was mentioned last year that he wanted to get an Atlantic league franchise for Stanford The Federals haven't launched their minor league circuit in this territory. If they fail they can't blame it on lack Of advertising. The winter league writers have certainly treated them handsomely.

NEW BEDFORD IS DROPPED.
Another Confession on Part of Nat

The dying National Roller Polo lea gue had another spasm Sunday and New Bedford was kicked out without mercy. thus reducing the circuit to four teams, which is next to no polo league at all The cities now repres- ented are Providence, Brockton, Taunton and Fall River.
 Players who were on the New Bed ford payroll will be used to plug up weak spots in the other clubs Bob Griffith has been assigned to Provi- dence, replacing Neil Pierce. Ferdie Harkins and Barney Doherty were awarded to Fall River, replacing Steve Pierce and Paul Gardner. Kid Will jams also goes to Fall River.

CHARLIE WHITE Ill,
 BEECAfR SUBSTITUTED
Willie Will Have Chance to Win
 Inc Champion h} Tonight.

New York, Jan. 27.-Charlie White will not meet Freddie Welsh in Madi- son Square Garden tonight The Chicago lightweight was forced to postpone his bout with the worlds champion indefinitely yesterday af- ternoon when he found himself threat ened with an attack of pneumonia.
 The management has engaged Willie Beecher to act as 8 substitute for White, and Welsh will get into action despite Whites illness. Those who bought tickets at the advance sale will have their money refunded, as the prices for tonight's show will be only half of those which were to have ruled in the event that White kept his engagement.
 White has been suffering from an intestinal disorder for some time and the case became somewhat aggravated on Friday, when feverish condition set in. In order to get this out of his system White decided upon long walks, and in the bad weather that has prevailed for the last few days he caught cold and yesterday developed an incipient case of pneumonia.
 White Had High Fever.
 All day he had a high fever and looked to be in for a. severe siege of illness. However, medical aid was cslled in the nick of time and Whites fever was reduced last night. It was announced that it was not likely that he would develop pneum monia, but he was in bad condition and would have to stay in bed for about week. It was a lucky circumstance that the fever set in yesterday, before White got a chance to enter the ring for he might have been injured perma- nently.
 Welsh came in from Oceanport, N. J.. where he had been training, last night, and was fit as fiddle. He was cragrined to learn that White had been taken i'll, and imm ediately sent his sympathy to the Chicago boxer. Walsh asserted that he was willing to meet White just as soon as Charlie is again in condition for battle. Great Opportunity for Willie While Welsh will not meet White he may have even harder time with Beecher, a boxer whom he would make grave mistake to underrate Beecher does not lay claim to clever ness, but he can fight-that's an oft demonstrated fact. He spends little time in cream-puff sparring and can hit like the best of them. He is sure ot force Welsh to fight ttop speed all the time, for he has suddenly been
New Britain herald., 1915-01-26

confronted with an opportunity he could not otherwise have obtained and it behooves him to make the best of it.
 Beecher is in the best of condition, as the offer to meet Welsh found him in the midst of preparations for his coming scrap with Joe Shugrue. If Willie makes the mistake of trying to maneuver with Freddie, the local lightweight will get a neat beating. but if Willie, as it is expected, goes right out and fights, there will be consid era ble firew orks.

McLEAN'S CHICKENS WIN.

Representative Samuel c. Mclean of Glastonbury, erstwhile pitcher in the Eastern Association, continues raising prize birds, and he has had ex- cellent success in recent poultry shows. At Boston one of his entries won the color special prize for cock k- erels The same bird won the first cockerel prize at Chicago and also the color special there. Sans bird was declared by experts to be one of the finest birds for color ever pro- duced. At Chicago one of his entries sold for s350.

Manager Jake Boultes of the Bridgeport club has written to Presi- dent O'Rourke, recommending Sam Dolls of St. Louis for a position on the Eastern Association umpire staff Dolls has worked in semi-pro games in St Louis for several years.

RED HELD IS CANNED

Red Held, who did fine work as umpire in the Eastern association in 1912, has been released by the Pacific Coast league. This was because the league decided to abolish the double umpire system. Held was regarded highly in the Coast league, but the officials decided to keep Californians on the staff in preference to outsiders sc Held Is without job. The Eastern association could use him.
