NOTED SCULLER DEAD.
First Oarsman to Take Professional
Title From England

New York, Dec. 28.-News of the
death of Edward Trickett, the noted
Australian sculler, at Uralla, N s. W.,
reached here yesterday. Tricllett,
who was born at Sydney, N. S. W.,
was the first man to deprive England
of the professional sculling cham
pionship in 1876.
In June of that year he visited
England and defeated Joseph Sadler,
the English champion, over the
Than es course, and it was not until
Ernest Barry, the present champion,
defeated Dick Arnst in 1912, that
the title was regained for England.
Trickett lost the title to Edward Han
Ian, the Canadian crack, in 1880, over
the Thames course.

WISE PEOPLE ARE THESE
Fitchburg Fans Refuse to Wax En-
thusiastic Over Prospects of Seeing
Eastern League Baseball.

Eastern League Baseball. #
Springfield, Mass. Dec 2S.-Ths
possibilities that Fitchburg would be
a member of the Eastern league next
season in place of Portland were OBJ
liberated yesterday when it was an
nounced in that city that the bust
ness men there had decided to give up
the idea. Several men in that town
were in hopes Of securing Duffyss
franchise in Portland and moving 1t
to Fitchburg. When the town went
dry the prospective buyers thought
that a league team in the city would
not be a paying proposition as fans
from surrounding cities would not
come to the games, so they gave UP
the idea for this year at least. This
still leaves the Portland matter I'M
settled.
The Lawrence affairs which have
been worrying the league since the
close of the season last fall are also
hanging fire. Ever since the close of
last seasons campaign the league di-
rectors have been waiting for Owner
Joseph P. Sullivan to clear up his in
debtedness to the league either by
FORGETTING his franchise or by finding
buyer for his club. Each meeting
which the league has held since thai
time has found the matter but little
further advanced. It was decided at
the last meeting to give Sullivan one
more week to settle the matter be-
fore the league would take definite
action on it. The expiration of the
time was yesterday.
President Dan O'Neil has decided
!, he RI oaf
along by going in person to Lawrence
and help Sullivan or try to help hint
effect q sale of the club. President
O'Neil will go to Lawrence, and with
Sullivan will interview the prospec-
tive buyers which Sullivan claimed he
had at the last meeting of the league
hmm ediately upon his return from
this trip, President O'Neil will call
a meeting of the league, presumably
in this city. and the affair will be
finally disposed of.
