Il Player Limit
FOR NATIONAL LEAGUE
The InternationalS Fail to-
Straighten Out Newark
Jersey City Tangle
BARROW GIVEN
MORE POWER

NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.-No change
was made i'm the rule limiting the
number of players TO II by the Ma
tlonal League magnates, in session in
New York yesterday, although Boston,
Chicago and New York went on rec
ord as favoring an increase to %
players for each club. All the other
representatives expressed their belief
that the 2l-player limit was sufficient.
President Weeghman. of Chicago, said
that while he intended sending 26
players to the training camp the rule
would cause no hardship to the Cubs,
as they could get through the cham
pionship season With II players eligi-
bic for the pennant race.
The word manager" as we'll as
player was read into the rule gov
erning the deduction of salary during
a term of suspension and il was
agreed that any club guilty of an in
fraction Of this law should be fined
$3.50
On motion of President Ebbets, of
Brooklyn, that the drafting system be
changed 30 that the lower division
clubs would be afforded the first priv
ilege of obtaining players, no definite
action was taken. IT was the sense
of the meeting. however. that such a
change would be desirable and the
question went over to see what the
American League and the minor
leagues might have to say about Il.
Ebbets also advocated the limiting
Of 25-cent bleacher seats at any clubs
rounds to $500, but the suggestion
was voted down.
President Weeghman stated that
he has not made any definite arrange
ments for the disposal of Roger Bres-
nahans services. The Chicago club
owner said he would be in this coun-
try all week and would endeavOr TO
place the former Chicago club man
ager to the best advantage.
During the International League
meeting the following were selected
as new board of directors G. r..
Chaplin. Rochester; J. J. McCaffory,
Toronto; $. Lichtenhein, Montreal;
A. NJ. Smith Richmond and William
u. Draper Providence.
President Barrow appointed G. T..
Chapin and w. II. Draper as a com
mittee TO assist him in adjusting the
Jersey City-Newark situation.
The player limit was increased
from Is, exclusive of a manager, to
II. including the manager for each
club. Following the action Of the Ma
tional League. It was deSided that in
future there shall be no appeal from
the decisions of President Barrow on
protested games, anu the meeting adj
iourned subject, to the call of the
president.

Old Jack SkeIIY Attempts TO
Break Into Tex Rickard Class

Our old friend Jack Skelley, who
aspired to featherweight honors in
tho long ago, has lately been trying to
make noise like Tex Rickard by
bidding on the Willard-M Moran roolsus.
Since he quit the ring. Skeliey has
been playing the role OF mine host in
a lonkers hotel, and. il is said, has
g tidy sum stored away. Skelley was
born in Brooklyn. forty-six years ago.
on February 8, 1870. and it has been
more than a score OF annums since
he was one OF the bright lights OF the
bin profession. In his boyhood he
was a pal OF Jack McAuliffe and Jack
Dempsey, the three Jacks being em-
ployed in a cooperage in Brooklyn.
While Dempsey gained the middle
weight honors, and McAuliffe wos un-
defeated as lightweight champion.
Skelley failed TO live up TO his op-
portunity 10 win title. Gentleman
Jacks" big fight was pulled on In
New Orleans in 1892. Il was with
George Dixon and was for purse OF
$l7 800 and the featherweight cham
pionship of the world. The skelley-
Dixon affair was one Of the features

van The featherweight fracas was
staged on the second day OF the fes-
tivities. On the first day Skelley's
pal. McAuliffe. knocked out the llli-
nois boy Skelley was greatly en-
couraged by the success Of his friend.
and went into the battle full of con-
6dence.
In some ways the Skelley--Dixon
affair was the big noise OF the tourna-
ment The element of racial suprem-
acy was involved, and Caucasians the
country over. but especially in New
Orleans and the South, we're praying
for the downfall of the clever black
boy from Boston. The biggest purse
ever offered for a bout between little
fellows was involved.
AT that time the Chocolate Drop
was at the height of his powers. In
Nunc Wallace, OF England; Abe viii
lis. Of Australia, and Cal Mccarthy
aud Fred Johnson, OF America. he had
trumphed over the best Of the white
featherwoights, save Skelley. Jack
did his best TO restore the honors TO
the paleface race, but it wasn't good
enough, and in the eighth round he
was knocked out. The result made
mixed bouts mighty unpopular in
New Orleans, so far as the whites
were concerned, but there was much
jublation among the colored breth-
rem.
