Lannin Seeks to Dispose OF
Buffalo Club Franchise.
PATSY DONOVAN MAY BUY

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON. December 25.-Joe Lannin
intends to get out of base ball entirely.
Not satisfied with having disposed OF
the Red Sox, the former owner of that
team now wants to rid himself OF the
Buffalo club of the international
League, which has been a profitable in
yestment because of the fact that un-
der Patsy Donovan's regime the Bisons
have won two pennants in row and
have drawn immensely.

formance under Donovan in the next
campaign, for the team is made up OF

BY reason of it. wants to make his es-
cape and place himself in a position
where he can have absolute rest and
enjoy the remainder of his days on
earth in quiet and repose and enjoy
the life of a gentleman of ease.
Patsy Donovan intends to take a
chance and buy Lannin out. figuring
that his employer would give him a
few shades the better Of it and keep
the price within reason
Patsy is confident that he would have
great investment and that the game
would grow more popular if he owned
it, because there always was some

ST. LOUIS S0CCERS WIN
All-Stars Defeat Bethlehem Steel
Company Team by Score
of 3 to l.

ST. LOUIS. December 25-Seventy-
five hundred persons at Robinson Field
yesterday saw the st. Louis All-Stars
vanquish the Bethlehem Steel Company
soccer team of South Bethlehem, Pa,
victor in nineteen consecutive games
with the strongest elevens of the coun-
try. The score was 3 to /. Inasmuch
as the record of the Steelworkers for
the last two seasons gives them an in
dlsputable claim to the soccer cham
plonship. the series with the local
teams, which began with yesterday IS
contest. is looked upon as competition
for the national title. a victory by the
Ben Millers, who play the visitors to-
morrow, will make st. Louis the su-
preme soccer center.
The counterpart of yesterdays en-
gagement has never been seen in this
city. Trailing the visitors. ! to 0. at
the end of the first half and apparent
ly outclassed by ten times the margin
of the score, the ST Louis representa-
tives staged a thrilling rally in the
final period.
Some idea of the lop-sided character
of the play may be CLEANED from the
fact that only five times in the first
half was the ball within scoring range
of the Bethlehem goal. Three local
players tried shots. but all went wild.
Another tried to head the ball into the
net with no success. corner kick
proved a failure. Still more astonish-
ing was the fact that the st. Louis
men. famed for their fierce attack, were
actually "outroughed" by the visitors.
