Lewis Defeats HarperNew York May Get Sunday Baseball
New International League
 Will Open Season May 8

New York, April with a circuit composed of Newark, Jersey City, Rochester, Buffalo, Binghamton, Bal timore, Toronto and Syracuse, the new International League was orga- nized at meeting at the Biltmore hotel last night. The league is to re- tain the Class A rank held by the disbanded International, five of the cities of which are members of the new organization. The delegates voted to open the season on May and to close on Sept. 15.
 With the imminent passage of the Sunday baseball law in this State ev- cry city in the league with the excep- tion of Toronto will be able to play Sunday games at home. Sunday ball is not permitted in Baltimore, but that club will play outside the city limits Syracuse and Binghamton were the leading members of the disbanded New York State League, while Jer- sey City until two years ago belong ed to the International. Since then games on Sundays.
 The surprise of the meeting was the re-entry of Jospeh J. Lannin, as a club owner. Lannin once owned the Boston Americans and last year own ed the Buffalo club. Because of uni paid salaries and other debts the old International forfeited the Buffalo franchise. At a recent auction Lan- min purchased the Buffalo park. Last night the new league voted Lannir the Buffalo franchise and made him

SCRIRES PULL UP
 IN LEAGUE RACE

The Newspapermen gained few more points on the City Hall crew last night at the Park City alleys by taking the Politicians into camp on Connie Lewis splits, two to one. The press representatives are now within one game from the leaders. Such sun shine!
 Dan-yell Sullivan's much abused Traffic Cops gave the Twelfth District Republican club something to talk about by copping two out of three from the East End. Percy Connor was high man for the night with a total of BOA while Matt Lucey, the crepe de chine shirt demonstrators hung up a new high single Of 94 without a mark.
 Next week the Sribes will play the Twelfth District crowd while the Cops will tackle Lucey's lambs. The scores made last night are as follows:

chairman of the board of directors.
 John Farrell of Auburn, secretary of the National Association of Minor League clubs and long president of the New York State League, was con- firmed as president of the New Inter- national and was made a member ex- officio of the board of directors. The other members of that board are James McCaffrey. Toroton; Charles Chapin, Rochester; David Dricoll, more.
 George Johnson, leading manufac- turer of Binghamton, who owned the State League club in that city, applied for the franchise through F. s. Bene- dict, and Chick Hartman, who is to be the player manager of the team. The league immediately voted Bing- hamtou in.
 The league voted to have the double umpire system and today will pass on eight umpires. The daily guarantee is to be put $100. rain or shine, with the privilege of 50 per cent. of the gate receipts. In each city the start ing hour which prevailed last year will be retained. This motion was passed in recognition of ithe demand of the War Garden Commission.
 Today a schedule committee will be appointed. Each club is to be per mitted to carry fourteen players and a manager. It had been expected that the classification will fall to single A, but Farrell declared that the leagues population justified Class A rank, with a million to spare.

NEW YORK STILL
 IN THE BATTLE

Albany, April 5-The battle against Sunday baseball in this State last night was conceded lost by those who have been fighting the Lawrence Kiernan bill. Late yesterday after noon the Senate passed the Sunday baseball bill by a vote of 26 to 20. It will proceed to the> Assembly, where it is expectedl to win by a far greater majority. That Gov Whitman will sign it is taken for granted.
 The law will have a local option clause whereby each community will decide for itself whether it wants | Sunday baseball or not. The legisla- tive bodies of practically every city in the State, New York and Buffalo among them, already have indicated their support of Sunday baseball. The . law is of primary importance to New York, with its three major league baseball clubs, which now will be able to play Sunday games. | Three senators did not vote, and at 1 least three more would have cast their votes for the bill had they been necessary to it's passage.
 | If the Assembly, follows the lead of the Senate in passing the Lawson bill the result will be not only the playing of major league championship games on Sunday at the Polo Grounds and EIbbetts Field in New York City and Brooklyn respectively, but will enable the hundreds of semi professional teams throughout the State to enter tain their patrons on Sunday after noon without resorting to the subter- fuge of charging for score cards and being brought to court for violating the Blue Law.
 The passage of the bill and it's ap7 proval by the governor will be an event of rejoicing for the thousands of working men who are prevented from seeing ball games on week days.
 The action of the Senate in approV- ling the measure is regarded as not able victory for the masses of people who for years have been steadrly avaiHng themselves of their right to Irrational entertainment and recreation on the seventh day of the week.

RIVERS NOT ON
 THE TUSCANIA

1doe Mark Twain, Joe Rivers will have the satisfaction of having read his own obituary. Yesterday the re- port was circulated throughout the country that the one time contender for the lightweight championship had gone down with the Tuscania- The casualty list issued from Washington last Saturday included a certain Pri- vate Jose Ylbarra, from Laredo, Tex, and just because Rivers's real name was Ybarra it was taken for granted that the lightweight had found a wa tery grave. However, perusal of a recent issue of the Boxing and Sport ing Gazette brings to light this par agraph:
 San Diego, March 23.-Joe Rivers, former contender for the lightweight champio ionshtp, lost a decision in four rounds here tonight to "Chief'' Aber- nathy, an Indian soldier in the Twen- ty-first Infantry"
 Since the Tuscania was torpedoed some weeks ago before Rivers fought in San Diego we think it safe to say that the Ybarra who went down was not the Ybarra who Is Joe Rivers the boxer.

GIANTS LOSE
 TO CLEVELAND

Dallas, Tex, April 5-After their experience in whaling soft minor league and soldier teams the Giants ran up against some real big league baseball here yesterday and were badly worsted. The Cleveland h. dians displayed dashing baseball game of the exhibition series by a score of 4 to 1.
 The great Speaker was much in evidence in Cleveland's victory. He drove out two doubles, which knock ed in three of the four runs scored by FohPs tribesmen. The Giants, however, had the satisfaction of stop- ping Iris oH the bases. Rariden caught him mapping off first base in the opening inning, and in the fifth Kauff threw him out at the plate when he tried to score from second base on a single.
 Anderson started for the Giants and got a thorough drubbing. In six in- nings the Indians pierced his delivery 1 for 10 clean hits, four of them dou- | bles. Only the sharpest support pre- vented Anderson from taking a worse beating. Two men were nipped at the | plate and Speaker was caught of third at important moments.
 Sallee relieved Anderson in the sev- enth and no one reached base on him Both Coveleslki and Lambeth pitched we'll for Cleveland, though the former permitted all of New Yorks six hits Cleveland scored in the first inning when Graney doubled to centre, hit ting the first pitch, reached third or Chapman's sacrifice, and scored wher Speaker bounced hot double of Holke's chest.
 New York tied in the fourth whel Doyle, Fletcher and Rariden tbunch ed singles. Cleveland won with thre in the fifth. O'Neill singled, stol second, and took third on CovelesEi' hit. Burns made a sensational catcl on Graney and Chapman doubled t centre, scoring O'Nein. Speaker sen l his second double to right, driving il Coveleski and Chapman.

SHUBERT HANDS
 LACING TO WALTZ

Meriden, April 5.-Al Shubert, the New Bedford bearcat, decisively de- feated Sammy Waltz of Hartford in practically every round of a 15-round bout staged under the direction of the Lenox A c. here last night. Shu- bert's superior infghting qualities held him in good stead throughout the battle, Waltz being unable to make any headway against this at- tack. Waltz submitted to a terrible body punishment and only his game ness enabled him to stay the limit
 It looked like curtains for the Hart ford boy in the tenth round when Shubert caught Waltz squarely on the jaw with a hard left. The blow drove Waltz completely across the ring and Ito all appearances he was out stand

leaves the players bench during a contest. Manager Barrow, while his team went through it's training at Hot Springs did not wear a uniform and this gives rise to the opinion that he will continue to work in his civilian clothes throughout the coming sea- son.
 A week from Monday the Yankees open the American League season in Washington. Miller Huggins is enjoying the Yan- kees' victories over the Braves down South.
 National League critics all over the circuit admit that the Giants will be
 hard to beat. If Evers cannot play ball regularly
 will the Red Sox keep him on the pay roll all season? Scott Perry Is pitching fine ball ,fol the Athletics and Connie Mack feels

 In the semi-fnaI bout, Kid Alex, who claims Albany as his home, de- liberately laid down to K. O. Fftz of Hartford, in the second round. Alex took four Hops in the battle and then reached the conclusion that he had enough. In the preliminary, Young Gilbert of Hartford lasted but three rounds with Young Jenkins of Meri- den. It was Jenkins fight while it lasted.
 The receipts were $1,O2O. shubert and Waltz worked on a 25 per cent. basis and Idrew down $255 apiece. The government tax amounted to $102. A crowd estimated at 700 people wit messed the scraps. Dave Fitzgerald of New Haven refereed all three bouts while Hugh Rorty did the an- nouncing

YANKEES WIN
 IN. ELEVENTH

Orangeburg S. C., April 5-Yester- day afternoon the Yankees and Braves furnished a thrilling Thinning battle of big league baseball to goodly crowd of South Carolina fans. the former winning, to 2. and making the series stand four straight in their favor. The occasion was the opening day of the Liberty Loan campaign here, and there were $500 at the game, although the population of the town is only 2,5OO.
 It looked as though Boston would win early in the contest. The Braves put over two runs in the fourth and Ragan held the Tanks helpless to the seventh. Then, however, with the bases full, Ragan was taken out for pinch hitter, and the tying runs were scored off Hughes in the eighth and the winning one in the last frame. In the fourth the Braves got their tallies. Powell beat out an infield bounder to Baker, and then Wick land hit in front of the plate and Hannah threw past Pipp, Powell SCOT ing and Wickland going to second He | advanced to third on Wilson's out and scored on Rawlings fly to oBdie. In the eighth Hannah singled to start | the inning and Ruel ran for him. High batted for Russell and walked, Gilhooley sacrificed, and then Miller | walked, filling the bases. Pratt popped out, but Pipp's single scored Ruel and | High. Miller was caught trying to make third.
 The eleventh was a hot frame for | both sides. Wickland hit far over Bodies head into the spectators in l left field for a ground-rule double. | Wilson's bunt sent him to third in 8 close play and Wilson was safe at first. Smith popped to Peck. Raw lings was purposely passed, filling the bags. Then Mogridge got Con way on strikes. and Henry, who had made three hits, forced Rawlings.
 In the Yankees half Baker singled to centre. Bodie, after trying to bunt, hit to Hughes, who threw to Raw lings at second. Conway interfered with the throw and Baker was safe. Peck's bunt rolled safe and the bases were full. Ruel hit to Wilson, who threw Baker out at the plate. Then Wick, hitting for Mogridge, singled | and it was all over.
 Bill James and Dick Covington col lided while the Braves were at in- field practice and both were knocked unconscious, James suffering the loss of two teeth, and was bruised about
 the face, and Covington's knee is
 badly hurt. This necessitated the
 playing of Wilson at first base.
