JOE REGAN' OLD
 BRIDGEPORT STAR,
 SECURES FINE JOB

Local baseball fans remember Joe Began, who played in the outfie1d for Bridgeport when Jim zO'Rourke man aged the club and Joe Connor was catcher. Since quitting baseball Joe has prospered and here is what his home town paper, the Stamford Ad- vocate, says about him:
 Joseph c. Began, who has for the last couple of years been assistant general superintendent of the Yale & Towne nnanufactory, is Ito leave that concern at the end of the pres ent week. and is to take a position of considerable responsibility with the Tirnkin (Detroit) Axle Go. MT. Regan's resignation was handed in some weeks ago, but the fact was not generally known until today. His de- termination to leave the works here is a cause of regret to the officers of the company and to employees in the works, where he has made a splendid record. The position offered him, however, is said to be very tempting, and is one for which it is believed he is peculiarly fitted. The Detroit company employs from 4, 900 to 5000 men, and manufa cturers axles for automobiles.
 MT. Began is a native of Seymour, in this state. He has been in Stam- for about 13 years. In his younger days he was well known as a baseball player. He was for some time a. member of a Bridgeport team, and later organized and managed a semi pro. team that put Stamford upon the baseball map several years ago.
 About 1 3 years ago he entered the Yale & Towne factory as tool maker, but he did not work at the bench long before he was promoted. He took charge of the installation of the Taylor efficiency system, under MT. Earth, in 1905, and for a while was superintendent of Department CD. He was appointed in 1911, as- sistant to the general superintendent. The next year he was made superin- tendent of productive efficiency. In 1913 he was made assistant general superintendent of the works.
 After entering<the local factory MT. Regah took a course in mechanical and electrical ngineering in Columbia University, and has been a close stu dent of modern methods of manage ment and efficiency. He has become recognized as an authority upon these subjects, and has delivered lectures on efficiency in some of the nanufac- turing towns. The offer from Detroit came to him unsought. and is in itself a substantial recognition of the rep utation he has made in the industrial world.
 ''He is much attached to Stamford, and his relations with the officers and others of the Yale & Towne factory have been very pleasant, so that it was difficult for him to decide to leave here. His determination was due to the belief that the place he is to fill is one in which his experience and his ideas will prove of much value.''

 JIM SAVAGE OUT
 IN SMASHING BOUT

New York. Jan. 27-Jim Savage, the heavy weight boxer of Orange, N. T., proved at the Pioneer Sporting g club last night that he is one of the aamest men in the ring. For seven rounds he stood with unfiniching cour- age and bulldog determination under an avalanche of hooks. jabs. swings and uppercuts, and gave up only when his second reluctantly threw wet sponge into ther ing as a token Of de-
 Thes bout was a one-sided affair, with Charlie Wetnert of Newark in nicting most of the punishment By the time the seventh round began savaRess eyes were partly c1oSed,I his nose damaged and his 1ps cut
 As the bell sounded for the seventh, Weinert, just as fresh as when the battle began. rushed out of his corner and smashed Savage with a right to the jaw Jim Staggered for moment and then fell to the floor The crowd second shouted for. him to take the count of nine:
 But poor Jim 7. Jumped up with ot1t even taking ascount-and. rushed at -vFeinert. Charlie stepped in with a right suppercut and followed it with a left to the jaw that droye savage Into a1neutra1 corner. By this, time Savage was nearly all in However, he covered his. face with his arms and | then came the sensational ending
 Weinert tore after Savage, haying him with both hands as fast as he could. Savage staggered, across the ring like drunken man, with Vein ert following him mercilessly- Saw age tried to lift his hands to defend lf1nself. but he didn't have the strength.
 Wsanert let fly two more rights, but Jim failed to go down His, face by this time waslcut to ribbons, and his eyes practically closed.

George M. Baxter Is Ousted From
 Defense Society

George M. Baxter was dropped yes terday as financial secretary of the American Defense League. His use fulness ceased with the revelation that he was a leading spirit in a eoterie known as t'We Boys" which made the Waldorf lobby headquarters a few years ago.
 The American Defense League numbers men of prominence on it's committees. On the advisory board are Theodore Roosevelt, former Am bassador David Jayne Hill, Perry Bel mont, Charles J. Bonaparte and others of high standing. The organizations objects are to promote the cause of national defense
 Baxter until yesterday was in charge of the field secretaries who collected the funds. His compensation. accord ing to the understanding of Philip Roosevelt, a cousin of the former President, was $150 week and 10 per cent. commission on collections. He was very successful in raising funds.
 ''Mr. Baxter has turned over to the American Defense Society about $6O,- 0OO,'' said a statement given out af- ter the meeting of the executive com n1ittee yesterday.

COMMISSION MAY
 PREVENT WILLARD
 AND MORAN BOUT

New York. Jan 27-It's better than an even chance that the Boxing Com mission will step in and prohibit the staging of the proposed bout between Jess Willard and Frank Moran in this State. Fred Wenck, chairman Of the commission, yesterday came out as unalterab1y opposed to the bout, ana it will require only one more vote to put the kibosh on the proposition. Frank Dwyer is said to be against the bout, too.
 Wenck agreed with the sentiments Willard and Moran would jeOpardize Both boxers are of the waiting variety and it would take them about six rounds to. get started. ETen then it is problematica1 whether there would be any action, for 1t would be to the best financial interests of both con testants to save each other for an other and longer bout to a decision.
 Owing to the fabulous guarantees assured the champion, and. the cha1- 1enger, the prices would have to be in keeping. The Mike Gibbons-Packey Mcfarland fasco dealt boxing here a. terrific body blow, and any venture repetition of the Brighton Beach hipodrome should be stopped. Wenck concurs in this opinion.
 Even if the Boxing Commission takes no action the proposed bout is not likely to be fought in this State, for the fans appear to have soured on it owing to the squabbIing among the managers and promoters and the ri- diculous offers.

 OFFER HIM TERMS

New York, Jan. 27--Although Cap tain T. l.. Huston of the Yankees went away on Monday, presumably to shoot duck with Manager FWi1bert Robinson of the Brooklyn club at Robinson's place on the Chesapeake Bay, the principal reason for the trip was to visit ftHorne Run'' Baker at his place in Trappe, Md. It is expected that Huston will arrange for Baker to play with the Yankees next season. All the other clubs of. the American league have withdrawn their offsrs fer the player, and the Yankees are now the only club bidding for him.

WHlTTED TO QUIT
 PHILLIPS UNLESS
 HE'S GIVEN RAISE

Durham, N. C., Jan 27.-George Whitted, one of the champion base ball players of the Philadelphia Ma tionals, and who makes his home here, has out1awed himself from pro fessiona1 baseball until a raise in sal ary is forthcoming. He has received his contract for 1916, but refuses to budge a peg unless the manager agrees to pay him more money. Tha contract specifies the same salary asz of 1915. The paper was returned with the request for a liberal raise.
 That the raise will be forthcomins; Is the confident belief Of the Durham boy. He anticipates as much and ex- poets that he will go with the PhiIa- delphia aggregation when the team goes into camp at St. Petersburgl Fla. on the second Monday in March Rabbit and bird hunting has been the favorfte pastime of the baseban star during the winter months. eAd- ditional recrea ton has been obtained from auto trips through the South with his friend, Dutch Hoffman of the Richmond International club The latter is playing for the movies in Florida.

New York State League
 a Venerable Institution

While the last season was the twen- tieth annual championship race of the New York State League under it's present organization, that venerable circuit has a history which extends back much further than a score of annums. In fact, it will be a quar- ter of a. century tomorrow since a meeting was held in Troy for the pur- pose of reorganizing the New York State League, which, in common with so many other circuits, had fallen up- on evil times during the Brotherhood war of 1890.e The New York State League now ranks as the daddy of all existing minor circuits with the exception of the International League. Several of the cities of this class B circuit have in the past travelled . Troy and Syra acuse, were once on the major League map. Troy was the proud possessor of one of the crack clubs of America when professional 1 baseball became established in 1870. And those old Trojan Haynakers could certainly play ball. The Col lar City was represented in the Ma tionaI League. Syracuse lasted but one year, hnishisg eighth in the race. Troy stuck in the big show four years, finishing fourth once, fifth another year, and in seventh place twice. In
 
 to New York, and the old Haymakers became the Giants. Buck Ewing, Mickey WeIch, Roger Connor and sew eraI other o1d-time stars made the trip from Troy to Gotham when the franchise was transferred.
 Albany and Utica were in the Ma ktional Association launched in 1879, with major league aspirations. Syra- cuse was in the old International As sociation in sos and won the pennant in 1888. When the Eastern League, now the International, was launched in 1892, five of the present State Lea gue cities were represented. These WI Albany, Troy, Elmira, Utica and Binghamton, the latter winning the pennant Utica and Elmira were dropped after the first year, and AL bany, Binghamton and Troy lasted but two annums. The two Pennsylvania cities in, the New York State circuit, Wi1kesbarre and Scranton, were also in the Eastern for several years, the former from 1893 to 1898, and Scran- ton from 1894 to 1897. Syracuse was admitted to the Eastern in 1894 and remained until 1901, winning the flag in 1897. Since then these towns have had to be content with the class B ball served by the State League Syracuse has long nourished the am bition to get hack into the Barrow organization, but, now that the war IS over and the international has re- gained the. Newark and Baltimore ter ritory, there is little hope of a realiza- ton of that dream.
 In President John H. Farrell, long an official of the National Association of Minor Leagues, the New York State circuit has enjoyed the leader ship of one of the abIest executives in baseball There is probably not a better managed league in America than, the York State, and. while the 1915 season was not a financial suc- cess, the old league is likely to enjoy a prosperous season in 1916. Few cities in the smaller minors, with the exception of Worcester, Rockford, Ill.,, Hartford and Fort Wayne, can boast of such a glorious baseball past as several of those represented in the New York League.
