Governor Urges Extreme Caution
At I0:45 this morning. Immediately
after the board had adjourned, the
commissioners were requested by
Secretary Will Wayne to meet with
Governor Lucius E. Pinkham In the
executive chamber.
The board at once conferred with
the governor. 1t was learned that the
executive read a letter he had writ.
ten against taking any action relative
to the German refugee merchant
steamers which might be construed
by the imperial German government
as an act of war, or which might re-
suit I'm any diplomatic complications.
He asked that the board, in effect,
keep the territory:s skirts clear Of
any International complications, what
ever is done by Germany.
Members Of the beard interpret the
attitude as opposed to tax
ing the ships or any of them outside
the harbor for anchorage. However,
they did not change the course al
ready decided upon. They withdrew
from the gubernatorial chamber and
went ahead with their plans.

TUCKEY LOSES IN
 FIRST GAME FOR
 BRIDGEPORT TEAM

Lawrence, Mass, July 25-Dick Tuckey pitched his first full game for Bridgeport yesterday and although he failed to win, the veteran twirled a fair article of ball. He allowed eight hits but could not keep them scattered. / Manager Krichell decided to go behind the bat for Bridgeport and gave fine exhibition until he injured a, finger and gave way to Egan.
 Lefty Craig, who has proved a pug gle to Bridgeport in past games, ex- ercised the jinx again yesterday. He allowed only one hit in the first six innings but weakened in the later sessions and was whacked for four runs. In this round Krichell and Priest got singles and Grimes gather ed a two bagger.
 This put Bridgeport only two runs behind and they made a great bid for victory in the ninth. Lear and Grimes singled and Martin drove a hot liner which Schreiber speared by jumping in the air. He touched Lear and threw to first before Grimes could get back, thereby making a triple play and killing a rally. Roy Rock, the former New London player played third for Lawrence in place of White, who broke an ankle Monday. The score:

TENER'S PLACE AS
 HEAD OF NATIONAL LEAGUE NO ClNCH

For the past few years John K. Tener, former governor of Pennsylva- mia, has beep president of the Ma tional league amid of all the big jobs he has held, this is certainly one of the most trying. It was .on July 25 that Tener was chosen for this big job, which carries with it a salary of $25, 600 @ year. And the man who holds it down successfully certainly deserves every penny he gets. He must combine the qualities of a hase- ball genius, a. diplomat and a shrewd judge of men. His two princial jobs as president re the handling of the staff of umpires their proper distri- button among the various cities, and being a member of the National Base ball Commission. This latter is quite a job in itself
 The presidents of the National and American leagues with the chairman of that commission have absolute control of all organized baseball in the country. The job of taking care of the staff of unapires has given many league presidents premature grey hair. He Is direce1y responsible for their performances and it's big task finding and drilling men to be competent judges of games Besides that all sorts of questions come up for his decision, and some of them are mighty tici1iish ones. Yes, being president of a big league is a fine job, if you can hold it.

HARTFORD TEAM GETS TWO NEW PITCHERS TO STOP SLUMP OF CLUB

New Haven, July 25-Don Brown of the defunct Utica club, the leading pitcher Of the New York state league, will report for duty to the Hartford team today, according to a telegram received last night by James H. Clarkin, owAer of the local tema. Brown is player much the same type as George .Sisler of the St. Louis Browns and in addition to being a top-notch twirler, he can play any position on the diamond. When not doing mound duty he was used by the Utica club in the inf1eld or outf1eld owing to his great hitting ability.
 Clarkin had some little difficulty in securing Brown. He sent Manager Pieper after him when the Utica club disbanded and Lou got Browns con tract to come to Hartford and con- tract was signed. The Reading. Penn.. the all-around player and Secretary Farrell of the National association awarded him to that team. The Hart ford club took the matter up with the national commission and Secretary Farrelrs action was overruled, the commission awarding Brown to Hart ford.
 Owner Clarkin also announced yes terday that he is negotiating for the International league and has every reason for expecting his con- tract before the week is over.

New York, July 25.-While the Ex- ecutive Committee of the Natlonal Collegiate Athletic Association holos only an advisory position In It's reia- lions with the individual members or the association, the result of the com ing conference to consider the status of college sports during the war will have a far reaching effect on inter varsity athletics. The organization with a< membership of close to two hundred of the leading colleges ana universities of the country, anciuoes on its roster the names Of all the principal institutions and sectlonai groups.
 As a result the conference at Wash ington on August will in reahty pc a gathering of the athletic authorl- ties of the universities and colleges or the country for a national varsity ex- pression of opinion regarding what form, if any, college athletics snali take during the coming collegiate year. It is quite evident from various forecasts of individual sentiment among the prospective delegates that there is. to be a wide difference or optndon upon this subject and 1t would not be surprising if the discus sion was both lengthy and complex ed.
 Sectional sentiment is certain to have an important bearing on the at titude of the various delegates. Con- sidered broadly the Middle and Far West may be said to be in favor or a continuation of ,intervarsity sport even though limited by certain res trictions deemed necessary in view ol war conditions In the East there is

COBB NOT LIKELY TO EQUAL HITTING
 AVERAGE OF 1911

Ty Cobb has been slamming the spots off the ball for over a month now and has entirely made up for his seeming lack of pep during the beginning of the season. But no matter how hard he wallops the pel- let, there is hardly a chance that he will equal his gratest swatting cam paign, that of the season of 1911. Six years ago Cobb carried out the great est assault ever known in baseball. In that year Cobb smashed all re- cords by scoring IA runs, making 24s hits in 146 games. This record has never even been approached.
 Ty recently passed the 100-hit mark this season and has scored about 50 runs in something over-7O games. If he hopes to attain the mark he set himself in 1911 he will have to pound out at least 140 hits and score over 190 runs in the game still to be played until the end Of this season It is; of course, possible that this can be done, but it is most unlikely.
 Ty would have to keep up his June and. early July spurt to attain this end. It means that for the remain der of the season his batting average will have to be -450. The truth is that for the past several weeks Cobb's average has been around .460, in one of the most remarkable batting de- monstrations ever known.
