Park Schedule to Be Announced Wednesday.

into the matter and to report back
10 the managers OF the various teams
at an early date in order that il be
Strengthened out, and the games
played in good shape.
The official schedule OF the league
providing for weekly games every
Sunday forenoon at Rio Grande park
Will be drawn up within the next
day or two and viii be published in
The Herald
cIashed with the Foundry, Myrtle
Avenue stars and the West Sid
ers on the long end Of the score,
and the POstOffiee, Furniture and
MOmsea-Dunnegan-R clubs
holding the smaller end.
A complete set OF bylaws for the
league will be presented to the man
ayers Of the teams at their next meet
ing. Among the things TO be con-
sidered before the bylaws can be
passed is the matter OF field rules, in
which the umpire will be allowed the
right to expel a player If he deems II
necessary.
All difficulties arising out OF plays
on the field will be referred to the
executive committee with power to
act fully, after they have conferred
with a local baseball authority.
Managers Of the teams voted unani-
iously for the issuance of a season
ticket for the games to help pay the
expenses of the league during the
season
The tickets will be disposed Of
to the members OF the teams and
their immediate friends as no ef-
forts will be made to compete
with the City league, as IL was
through the courtesy of president
Charles Pollock that the Com
mercial players were allowed the
use Of the park for their games.

JACK BRITT0R
AN0LDTIMER
Welterweight Champion Is
Veteran Of Many
Battles.

Milwaukee, Wis. May %. - Jack
Britton. the welterweight champion
OF the states. and Ted Lewis. the
crack English welter. have had 10
contests over the limited round route
within the past two years which IS
very near the record made By sam
Langford FOR his many return
matches with the late Jim Barry,
sam McYea. Joe Jeanette and others
Isn't It about time that Lewis and
Britton got together for a real title
match over the marathon routs2 II
Lewis is anxious TO win the Ameri-
can championship. that IS the only
way he can do it-not by arranging
limited round bouts with no decisions
in sight.
There is no doubt about the clever
ness Of the two lads. but the eight.
10 and - round contests are not long
enough to have decisive result al
though Jack Britton twice won a ref
eree's decision over Lewis in i
rounds at Boston Another lad who
figures very close TO Lewis and Brit
ton for the championship is Johnny
Griffiths. OF Akron. o.. and he has
fought both Of them a number Of
times.
Within the past year Johnny has
battled Lewis four times and has
met Britrou a like number OF times
during the past two years. They
are without doubt three OF the best
weiters in the world and IL would be
Interesting to have Lewis and Grit
fiths fight Il out for the right TO
meet Britron for the title. Then they
could have & real international match
BY having the title holder OF the
states meet the sensational young
welterweight champion OF Australia

Organized Bali For Sale Barney Dreyfuss Wants To
On Curbs Of Wall Street Quit National Game Again

TO come through with the right offer
at the psychological moment has kept
Dreyfus in big league IAN.
Every now and then Barney
flies OFF the handle His differ
ences with chairman August
HERMANN OF the National com
mission. are of long standing.
and they have caused Dreyfus
10 say n lot Of things because
he has often felt that he was
stability treated in the matter OF
player deals and legislation in
the National league.
The most recent chirp from the
owner OF the Pirates came when
Charley Ebbets sold Fred Merkle to
the Chicago Cubs Barney wanted
Merkle, for he needed a first base
man the worst way But he did not
bid as high as the Cubs, and he lost
forced 10 bring Bunny Brief back
from the miners on trial, and IL
made him warm around the collar
The fact is. Dreyfus feels he should
be shown more consideration as a
member Of the old league, and when
il IS remembered that he has often
helped the league out OF holes he may
have some kick coming At one time
Drevfus was said to be interested IN
three major league ball clubs, but
IL IS also said that he claimed 70 nav 2
taken q financial interest for the sole
purpose Of tiding those clubs through
rough storms.
II this be the case IL is little
wonder he flares UP now and
then. for he has been n figure In
baseball for years and today he
is ranked as one of the SHme's
WfSest heads
His ability as 4 baseball man was
reflected when he was chosen one OF
the representatives OF organized
baseball In dealing with the Federal
league about the time that unhappy
organization got ready TO toss in the
sDouge. So Barney feels that be-
cause he has done much for baseball
h. should be granted favors now and
then
But such IS the life OF the magnate
Rivalry is keen. and when q player i:
put on the market. cold cash, not
sentiment, is what counts.

also Mccoy into a title match time
and time again. but without success
jeff and myself would sacrifice al
most anything TO get either one OF
this pair over the real distance for
the title. but I have practically given
up trying 10 do so, and the Only thing
left is to claim the title and be sady
TO defend II against all Corners, CID
bons and Mccoy preferred.
OF course, the match 1 would PEE
fer over all others, and which would
be for the worlds title, is with Les
Darcy, of Australia I still feel that
Smith can defeat Darcy. despite the
results OF their meeting IN Australia
We viii count them out and start
over again II the match can be made
and held"
