If Frederick j. Ham, jr., should keep

occasions Ham accounts for the bacon
At yesterdays shoot, which was held
on Harrison Island, Ham retired with
the big thing Of the day, which was
the scratch high gun, his grand total
being ninety-one out of possible hun

Considering that the light was poor,
and besides that there was a puzziing

grand piece of trap work on the part
of Ham, who is one of the fast i'm

Prior to his assault on the clays Ham
experienced a capital eye-opener in
the ten-bird scratch race, which he won
with a perfect score on the shoot-o

exhibition of keen craftsmanship, Ham

Baseball Clubs
In a Bad Way
For1918Season
Directors of International
Here To-day to Wrestle
With Many Problems

Directors Of the international
League, one of the biggest Class AA
baseball organizations in the coun-
try, will begin their annual mid-win-
ter session at the Hotel Imperial this
afternoon.
The main question to be decided is
whether the international, which suf-
fcrcd a scmi-collapse in 1917, will at
tempt to weather another season or
will disband to await the coming of
conditions better suited to the success
of minor league baseball.
League Directors Split
A stormy session is promised, with
the league directors apparently split
over the matter Of disbandment. The
news that has come in advance of the
New York session is not comforting to
minor league baseball followers.
AS an example of the plight in which
the international finds itself it is
pointed out that the Buffalo club is in
debt as result of the 1917 season to
the extent of $46,166. This is the
amount filed with the United States
District Court in Buffalo last week.
The Buffalo club finished the season
without paying it's September salary
roll and owes in addition to the play
crs every one, from the ground keeper
to the president Joseph 'Lannin, for
mer owner cf the Red Sox and ma
jority stock holder of the Buffalo club,
has presented bill for $31 1,36665, all
of which was loaned to the club to set
tie bills and pay salaries.
Providence for Suspension
Another indication showing the way
the wind is blowing comes from Provi
dencc, where the stockholders Satur-
day instructed their president, John
Gammons, to vote for a suspension
during the 1918 season unless major
ity of the directors indicated they
wished to continue.
1t is this depressing condition which
will be faced by the league directors
to-day. What they will do will be
shaped largely by the developments
since the December meeting. At that
time it seemed impossible the Inter
national could operate during 1918.
1t is rumored that a plan may be
projected TO lessen the mileage of the
circuit by dropping Montreal on the
north and Richmond OIL the south to
take in Syracuse and Jersey City. In
this event, and with the possible legal
ization Of Sunday baseball in New
York State, it is held that the Inter
national might expect prosperous
1918 season.

Glencoe Men
Make Sweep
In Road Run
Mike Tea Finishes First and
Harry Meyers Second
Meter Shows Speed
By A. C. Cavagnaro

Athletes of the Glencoe Athletic
Club made a clean sweep Of all the
prizes in the weekly handicap road run
of the Harlem Athletic League held
yesterday. The race was over the AL
pha Physical Culture Club course of
four and half miles, through streets
covered with ice and snow. Two ath-
letes took tumblcs.
Mike Tea, Harry Meyers and James
Silverdollar all Of whom wore the
Winged G. finished in the order named
for the first three prizes. The per
formance of Tea was quite different
from previous races and it appeared
as if he was saving his speed for the
prize event. Starting from the low
mark of 2:15, Tea was up in the van
after three miles and setting n fast
pace for his two eliminates.
Duel for Second Place.
At the three and half mile point,
Tea began to test the reserve ability
of both Meyers and Silverdollar, who,
after faint effort, began to drop
fifty yards, while Meyers and Silver
dollar engaged in a pretty fight for
second place.
AS both runners sprinted around the
final corner to the finish line Silver
dollar slipped on the icy road He man
aged to pick himself up quickly, but
was unable to make up the tcn-yard
margin gained by Meyers when he
stumbled.
Besides winning the first three
prizes, the Glencoe representatives
captured the point honors. They only
had the Harbrook Athletic Club har-
riers as opposition. but had little to
spare, winning by Il score of 21 to "a.

Lenny Meter, the Morningside Ath-
letic Club star, gave a fast exhibition

aged to reach home in tenth place in
the actual time of 1859.
Harry Brown, the new sensation Of
the Harbrook Athletic Club, who
started only fifteen seconds in advance
of Meter, was also a contender for
the time honors. Brown fell on the
ice at the two and a half mile point,
but managed to continue on to the fin
ish. His actual time for the trail was
24:15.

Skating and Hockey Notes
By Fred Hawthorne

The ghost of the amateur problem
still stalks abroad in the worll of
hockey. The American Amateur Hockey
League and the Ontario Hockey Asso-
citation, of Canada, are still as deter
mined as ever, apparently, to carry on
the fight against the Internatora al
Skating Union, the controlling body in
this country, and the different organ
lzations iii the Dominion that have
allied themselves with the I. S. T..
Following the announcement made
last week that the Amateur Hockey
League and its allies across the border
would brand the Wanderers, Of New
York, the Pittsburgh A. A. and all
other hockey teams that competed
against these sevens as professionals,
owing to the presence in the Wan
dcrers' lineup of Alexander We!hng-
ton, the Canadian star, came The de
cIson Of the league TO mold its series
of lnterborough games at the Brooklyn
Ice Palace, home rink of the all-Brook-
.yn team, and Healy's Crystal Carnival
Rink, at Broadway and Nine.Y-iifth
Street
Originally it had been planned TO mold
the Manhattan games at the St Nlcn-
Arena Hockey Club, Of Boston, and the
other teams in the intarcty league
play their games. But in order >
prove their complete ostracism of tie
rival association, the Amateur Hockey
League has selected the Crystal Car
nival Rink as the scene OF its intcr-
borough series.
1t is difficult TO forecast correctly
the ultimate result Of this breach lo-
tween the rival bodies, but The al
vantage, moral or immoral, seems -

Union and its allied bodies in Canaoa.

Springs Sensation at Traps
Skaters SO Out OF Possible
100 at Travers Island
Murphy Does Well
By ]. S. Mitchell

Western clay bird expert named
Il. Winkler, hailing from Chicago, sup
piled the sensation at the Travers ISL
and traps yesterday and woke the
echoes of the Westchester shore to the
best piece of trap work ever seen in
the locality. That the man from the
windy town made the eyes of the East
ern cracks bulge would be putting it
mildly. for nobody expected such an
upheaval from unexpected quarters.
= To put it briefly, Winkler shattered
80 out of the possible 10o and the bare
unit that he did miss was slanting
quarter driver, which old Bogardus
himself could not draw bead on in
his pamicst hour. Across the board
his tally read 0-25, o-24, o--5o The
before the hyphen means scratch, for
Wlnkler. not being a member of the
New York A. c.. had to accept the post
of honor.
Hits Fifty Straight
However, he hit fifty straight for the
Ryronel cup, which is to be shot for
on Sundays and will last through the
season, the man with the most legs to
be declared the winner. Wink!er
nopped off the train from Chicago yes
terday morning. and will stay over for
the shoot to-day and tomorrow.
Some of those historically inclined
have named the three days battue the
Battle of Travers Island" In the wav
OF little information it may be men
toned that Winkler shot for the Grand
American Handicap last year, and was
beaten only one target by McCurdy, the
winner.
Another and milder sensation was
contributed by local amateur named
Malachi Murphy, who visited the island

shattered 81 out of the possible 100 and
gave Winkler a hard rub all the wav

Scores at Traps

aided by comfortable handicap. Jones
also accounted for the Take Home
Trophy, which is one day affair, but
he had to work hard for it.
On the first attempt on the traps
seven finished level with perfect
scores. They were Jones himself, Ger
ard, Stoddard, Herold, Kyle, Cranberry
and Fullerton. A shoot-off was ordered
and there was another tie, and another
shoot-otf was demanded by the umpire.
Then Jones showed his grit by winning
out.
For the February Cup seven hung up
full scores of twenty-five and they
were credited with legs. The same rule
applied to the Accumulation Cup, six
having full scores.
There were two undecided events
from last month, the January Cup and
the Accumulation Cup. Fullerton tied
with Kyle for the Accumulation. and
on the shoot-otf Fullerton won. Ger
ard won the January Cup after a
shoot-off. He also captured the fifteen
bird scratch race with perfect score.
