New York, March 2S.-Club owners
of the International League met in
it's Offices at 81 Vanderbilt avenue
yesterday, and when they adjourned
late in the evening they still had not
made a definite decision regarding the
fate of the circuit. Charles Chaplin OF
Rochester announced that the owners
would convene again this morning, at
which time they hoped to give out
definite statement that they would
either continue with a revised lineup
or would go into Information until the
war was over.
Jack Dunn and Charles E. Knapp
of Baltimore arrived in time for the
afternoon session. J.J.Lannin, owner
of the Buffalo club, which forfeited
it's franchise, was a caller in the af-
ternoon He was asked to take part
in the meeting, but declined.
Chaplin said that this was a pad
year for minor league baseball, and
If the international decided to play
it would be on strictly war basis.
He asserted that the day of the hlgh
priced baseball player in the smaller
league was a thing of the past. lie
further declared that owners VINO
this year put their teams in the held

Fistic History

Although Marvin Hart never rank
ed very high in the opinion of box
ing fans, and his claim to the heavy
weight championship was generally
regarded as "phony,' he turned a
trick thirteen years ago today that
only two other white men accomplish
ed. 1t was on March 25, 1905, that
Francisco ring.
The black man was in poor condi-
ton, and seemed to lack both the de-
sire and the ability to extend himself.
The result after twenty rounds of
slow fighting was a decision in Hart s
favor. A little later upon the re-
tirement of Jim Jeffries, Hart claim
ed the worlds title. Jeffries denied
that he transferred the title to Hart,
and eaRly in 1906, Tommy Burns de-
feated Hart in a twenty-round bout
in Los Angeles. After that Marvin
Hart vanished, more or less, from the
sporting page. Johnson's first defeat
by a white man was when he was
put to sleep by Joe Choynski in Gal
weston, in 1901. Harris last appear
ance in the sporting records was in
1910, when he met Carl Morris in
Oklahoma. Hart was then only a
wreck of his former self and Morris.
the green boxer, stopped him in three
rounds. CarPs defeat of the Tex
champion" was heralded by his press
agent as a mighty achievement.

MAN WHO DEVELOPED
FAMOUS HORSE, DIES

Charles T. Patterson, one of the
most famous trainers of thorough
breds in the world, died yesterday
morning at his home Queens, l.. l.,
from acute indigestion. Mr.. Patterson
was ill on Sunday, but recovered SUI
ficiently to visit Belmont Park track
on Monday and train his charges, be-
longing to Robert L. Gerry.
Charley Patterson was 40 years old.
He was born at Pittsburg. He had
three brothers, all of whom are en-
gaed in the horse business. His father
at one time was interested in trott1ng
horses.
Few trainers on the American turf
were as we'll known or as popular as
Mr. Patterson. In the halcyon days
of the turf he developed the speed OF
the Immortal Hamburg and Ornament
and recently added to his fame by dis
covering and developing the speed Oh
the mighty Omar Khayyam.
He purchased the champion three
vear-old of last year for c. K G. Bill
lings and Fred johnson in England
as a, yearling' for $1,000, and on MS
arrival here declared that Omar was
the equal of either Hamburg or Orn-
) ament To majority of veteran
turfmen this seemed unbelievable, but
1 early in 1917 Mr.. Patterson reiterated
this statement and two months later
Omar won the Kentucky Dehby.
After this victory Mr. Billings quit
the racing game and sold the per
sian Poet to Wilfred Viau, a Canad-
I ian horseman, for $4,000.
When Mr.. Billings sold out his
stable Charley Patterson was without
Job, but only a few months, for
Robert L. Gerry, then forming stable
employed him.
With the small string belonging to
Mr.. Gerry, the noted trainer, had more
than a fair amount of success. He took
Sharpshooter, which had been racing
through the field, and turned him into
a first class Splinter and won several
races with him.

MRS. HURO WINS
AT PINEHURS7

Pinehurst, N. c., March 28-The
North and South championship title
was won at Pinehurst yesterday by
Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd of
Pittsburgh, who defeated Mrs. Ronald
H. Barlow, of Philadelphia, in the
final contest by 5 up and 8 to play
This is the first time that Mrs. Hurd
has ever won the North and South al
though she has held at one time or
another and for more than a year at
a time the national championships of
this country, Canada, England and
Scotland.
The first consolation trophy went
to Miss Sara Fownes, of the Oakmont
club, who defeated Mrs. Myra Hell
mer Pritchard by and 1. The Gov
ernor's trophy to the winner of the
second eight went to Mrs. J. F. Dur
yea, who defeated Mrs. J. Raymond
Price by and 1.
Mrs. Hurd won the final contest by
virtue of remarkable play in her short
game. She did not misplay an ap-
proach from start to finish and did
not miss any puts that called for an
explanation.

ICY" YOUNG is 81
YEARS OLD TODAY

Tomorrow will mark the beginning
of old Cy Young's fifty-second annum
on earth, for Denton Tecumsch was
born on March %, 1867, in GiGlmore.
Ohio. The marvel of the baseball
world, whose salary wing withstood
the strain and stress of twenty-five
major league seasons, and whose rec
ord of victories constitutes mark at
which all his successors will probably
shoot in vain-such was Old Cy
Young.
1t was in July, 1910, that Cy hung
up his 500th major league victory. At
that time he had lost 302 contests
making a total of S02 games twirled
in the big show. That practically
ended his career, for he took part in
only seventeen games after that, win
ming eight of them. The total for
his major league career in S19 games,
with sos victories.
Christy Mathewson was once look
ed upon as a possible rival of Denton
Tecumseh in the durability record
race, but that day is past. He was
the only pitcher of the present era
who came anyway near that record

Joseph J. Lannin, owner of the Buff

quarters, but refused to attend the
meeting.
President Wilson of Richmond de-
clardd that the fans of his town
pledged themselves to buy enough
season books to support the team. 1t
was also said that McCafferty and
Dunn are ready to continue under the
conditions that now exist.
Most of the day was taken up with
routine questions. If the league does
vote to continue this morning, there
probably will be a change in the cir
cult.
Charles H. Ebbets, president of the
Brooklyn club, attended the meeting.
Ebbets and McCafferty had a long
chat over the Lajoie matter. The IA

remarkable athletes ever develoned in
onls country and a leading point win
her 1or this country at the Olympic
games, died at st. Vincent's Hospital.
New York City, last night at 1888
o'clock.
His condition had been critical most
OF the day, and stimulants were re-
sorted to in an effort to save his
life, but the pneumonia, from which
he was suffering, took such a hold on
his huge body that it could not be
shaken off.
Martin Sheridan was 81 years old
yesterday, and a number of his friends
had arranged to give him a dinner to
celebrate the occasion Instead, they
gathered about late last night to
mourn his loss.
He was attached to the First Branch
Detective Bureau, and for two OF
three years has been out of COMPETE

DEMAREE SHOWS
MID SEASON FORM

Waco, Tex, March 28-Albertus
Demaree, covered himself with gar
lands of daisies yesterday afternoon
by tanning seven men in four innings.
1t doesn't make any difference that
the seven victims were members of
the Texas league. This startling per-
torrance happened in a game which
the Giants Won by a score of to 0
against the regular Waco team.
This was the first real game the
Giants played, and twas a good start
for though they won in a gallop, they
met bunch that made it interesting
for the Tigers last week. The regular
were in the lineup and celebrated the
occasion by wearing their new travel
ing uniforms, a plain gray livery.
Anderson and Demaree were the
only two called upon to look their OPP
ponents over from the mound. Ander-
son worked through the first five in
nings, which, by the way, is the long
est time Giant pitcher has worked
since the team hit the South.

the police yesterday regarding the
possibility of holding the champions

Lawrason Riggs, the president of the
Police Board, told them that it was
his opinion that the attitude of the

The law requires that permits be

1t is curious fact that in 1906 old
Cy Young was seemingly all through,
played out, done for That season
he won thirteen and lost twenty-one
games. The previous year he had
lost one more gaR1e than he had won,
being the first time in his history
that his balance was on the wrong
SIDE of the ledger. At the close of
the 1908 season, when it was said
that Cy was a goner, his record stood
4S5 won to 235 lost. Yet for three
seasons after this slump old Cy took
his regular turn in the box, and won
well over half of his games, having
twenty-one victories to eleven defeats
while with the Red Sox in 1908.

Said Old Joe Wood to Wild Bill James,
It's long since we've been pitching
games;
I'd like to play as once I could,
Said Wild Bill James to Old Joe Wood.
The Cincinnati Reds will have
hard time keeping their scoring and
other records straight next summer,
and all on account of the Magees.
Both Lee Magee and Sherwood Magee
are on Matty's team, and it looks like
trouble.
George Stal1ings plans to try out
Massey as an outfielder this season.
Massey was understudy for Johnny
Evers at second base during the sea-
son of 1917.
Like SO many other players, Jimmy
Archer has finally come back to the
club which gave him his first major
league contract. 1t was with the Pr
rates that Archer made his big league
debut in 1904.
In ten years with the Washington
club, Walter Johnson has won PSI
games and lost 1866, for winning per-
centage of SOP. Eddie Plank is the
only man toiling for at least ten years
who has amassed g, better set of fig
ures. johnson has famed 2,297 bats
men, leading them all in this respect.
He has handed out TAB free tickets.
He has twirled seventy-three shutouts,
also the highest mark for the league,
and includes three one-hit games in
| his record. He has yet to hold the
foe hitless. Plank has won 500 games
and lost 179, for an average of .629.
He has famed 1880 batsmen and
passed 997. He has officiated in six
ty-three whiteWashes.
Stuffy Mc'Innis is steadily improv-
ng as the regular third baseman of
the Red SoX. In the practice games,
so far, he has made many brilliant
plays in Larry Gardeners old place
and unless he suddenly slumps, he
will help the former worlds cham
pions UNNECESSARILY. Manager Bar
row says that he is not worrying over

the ability of Johnny Evers to cover
the middle bag. If Evers can stand
