How to Wash White Spats.

The best way to wash white broad
cloth spats without shrinking them is
to take a basin of lukewarm water and
make a suds with white soap; wash
the spats In it and rinse well in water
of same temperature, but don't wiring.
Hang them up directly, wet, and in
the morning they will be dry and
shapely.

WHAT AILS BOXING?
IS CRY OF PUBLIC

New York, Nov. THE Queensberry
bacteriologists have put the game of hit,
stop and get away under the microscope
and are trying to ascertain what sort of
germ Is endangering the health of the
pastime. According to the diagnosis of
the experts the chief ailment, so far as
New York Is concerned, seems to be an
over pressure OF mediocre boxing talent
on the metropolis, while the sensational
ringmen disport themselves at Painted
Post, West Coshocton an dother grow
ing settlements far removed from Broad
way.
While this is the unanimous opinion of
the Intellectual gentlemen who have the
case under consideration, there Is among
them a radical difference Of opinion as
to the cause of the disorder and as to
the proper remedy to be applied.
Some of the experts are of the opinion
that the tangled condition Of affairs at
Madison Square Garden, with the re-
sultant stoppage of bouts in that famous
arena, is wholly responsible for the slump
In boxing circles, and they insist that
the only cure for the malady lies In the
immediate staging Of some important
contests, which would at once stimulate
the patient and eventually result in COM
plete recovery.
Others advance the opinion that the lack
Of decisions, the failure of many boxers
to give their best efforts and the absence
Of championship contests are what ails
the game. Many other theories are put
forth, but none of them reach the right
spot.
The reason that the leading boxers of
the country do not come to New York
Is that they receive more money In Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Buffalo,
Cleveland, St. Paul and in fact in any
city of good size east or west

BARROW CLUBS ALL
LOST MONEY IN 1916

Providence, r. l., Nov. THAT the
season Of 1916 in the International League
was disastrous one all around Is shown
by reports that are leaking out from the
various cities. Every club in the league
lost money, including Buffalo, the cham
pion team, where, it is admitted by Jo-
seph J. Lannin, owner Of the club. a
substantial loss was made.
Lannin Is anxious to sell the club and
efforts are being made to interest Buffalo
men in the project Of having the club
once more locally owned. In that case
it is probable that Patsy Donovan will
leave the club to resume scouting for
the Red Sox.
Rochester and Newark and possibly
Toronto will have new managers. Leach
has been released by Owner Chaplin after
one year in the saddle. Tommy failed
to make good, in Mr.. Chapin's opinion.
Fred Tenney has quit in Newark. one
year in the International being a great
plenty for him. Fred failed to make
much of an impression in the Barrow
wheel
In Toronto Lena Blackburn finished
the season in command, but is not sure
OF getting the reins next year. Billy
Smith Is practically sure to return to
Richmond, and Of course, Jack Dunn will
pilot Baltimore, as he owns the club.
Dan Howley did very well in Montreal,
and will probably be re-engaged,
As to Providence, nothing has been
said about next years team, or who will
manage It. 1t is reported the team Is
for sale, and until this matter Is settled
little can be said about the managerial
end.

FIGHT TO A FINISH
FOR THE FRATERNITY

New York, Nov. david l. Fultz.
president Of the Baseball Players Fra
ternity last night indicated that his
organization is prepared for a fight to
finish in order to force a revision Of the
injury clause" in players contracts. The
main fight is being made on the American
League. with emphasis on the Washing
ton and New York clubs.
The injury clause in some Of the con-
tracts provides that a player may be sus-
pended without pay when an injury
suffered in the performance Of his duties
makes him unfit for active service. 1t
permits a player to be held in bondage
without salary and prohibits him from
seeking employment elsewhere" declared
Fultz.
President johnson. Of the American
League, is reported to have said In q
recent interview that the fraternity Pc
tition accused certain American League
clubs Of suspending injured players with
out pay. Either Mr.. johnson has been
misquoted or he is evading the issue. We
made no such accusation. In our brief
we stated that certain contracts gave
the owners the right to so misuse players
II they saw At. and asked that such clause
be removed.
Mr.. johnson made a somewhat heated
denial Of the supposed accusation and
said he had demanded OF US the names
of players so suspended. He has made
no such demand. Mr.. Hermann, how
ever. did wire for copies of contracts
containing the Objectionable clause, which
is an entirely different request"

BUSINESS Wins GAME
FROM EASTERN, 1900.
Business Is Pressed Hard by Eastern
S for Its Victory.
By JACK EASTER.

Captain Of Tech High Football Team.
In the fourth game OF the interhigh
school series yesterday between Business
and Eastern at American League Park
the heavier team triumphed by 13 to 0.
1t was not until the second period that
the Stenographers were able to cross the
Eastern goal line for the FIRST touch
down OF the game. Radey carried the ball
over near the outside line and B. Wise
puntsd out; B. Wise kicked goal. Score:
Business. Z; Eastern. 0.
1t was in the first period that Eastern
played the best rushing game and made
several good gains around the ends and
through the line for five and Ten yards.
Flaherty outpunted B. Wise in the ex-
change Of boots. In the second period
Business kept the ball in Eastern's ter
ritory. but lacked the punch to rush It
over. for there was tendency to fum-
BILE theshall.
The first halr et.ded with the ball In
Eastern's possession in pidfield. Both
teams had been relying on plunges into
the line and runs around end for short
gains. The Fasteners were putting up a
stubborn fight for every inch of ground
gained.
In the third period Eastern displayed a
return to form and forced Business back
repeatedly for short gains, but was forced
70 KICK 10 BUSINESS IN midfield. Sweeney
was substituted for Fridinger and made
some short gains through the Bus<ess
line
1t was In the last period, after Bust
ness had worn down the lighter Eastern
team. that 1t was able to score. On a
criss-cross play, with Radey carrying
the ball. he went over the goal line for
the second and last touchdown Of the
game. B. Wise was forced to punt out In
his try for the goal he missed with the
score, Business, 13: Eastern, O.
For the most part Eastern was on the
defense during the third and fourth peri
DDS. but its defense was stubborn and its
line was holding up under the line drives
launched at it by the heavy backs of the
Stenographers.
For the Stenographers B. Wise, Radey
and Mcdonald were the most consistent
ground-gainers and made many yards be-
tween them for the Business eleven.
Radey made several good end runs and
on a forward pass gained IA yards. The
Eastern back field had plenty of life but
could not gain consistently. but Sweeney.
for little fellow. was all over the field
and made gains of to Is yards. The
other men in the back field for Eastern
were in every play and formed their in
reference well, but the man carrying the
ball was not often able to gain more
than few yards. Lineup:

NATIONAL LEAGUE To
HAVE BUSY MEETING

New York, Nov. 1.-The elimination of
the spitball-in fact, the elimination Of
the use of any foreign substance as an
aid to the pitcher; the question Of rais-
ing the player limit; the complaints re-
garding short fences and bleacher walls;
John McGraw's fall from grace; umpire
batting; worlds series changes-all these
and many other questions will be well
thrashed out when the National League
magnates get together December II for
their annual gabfest In New York
Gov. Tener, president of the National
League, Is one OF those who believes In
the elimination of the spitball and its
variations. A pitcher. Tener believes.
should have no need for outside agencies.
and the cleanliness of the game has
something to to with his opinion. He be-
heves, along with a great many others.
that the spitball Is just a wee bite inde-
cent and repulsive.
The change in the player limit has
found many champions, and 1t is one of
the things that magnates and critics alike
expect will be doctored. Clubs have
suffered because they didn't have an
adequate number Of substitutes. The
Philadelphia and Boston clubs are two
examples. The New York Giants and
the Philiies are expected to lead a fight
for the resinding Of the twenty-one-play-
er rule.
The short bleacher wall in Philadelphia
Is certain to come in for discussion. 1t
Is obviously unfair to opposing clubs to
count all balls into the left-feld bleach
ers home runs. The wall is low and
many drive which would be good for
only two bases in other parks bounds
into the bleachers for a circuit clout. As
the Phillies play many more games there
than any other club they get too many
whacks at the short wall. opposing clubs
contend, and they will make an effort to
have something done about n.
John McGraw's statements are certain
to be aired. Several of the magnates are
said to he in favor of rigid discipline for
the Giant leader.
