THESTRUGGLE
Fate Of the international
League Was Settled
This Afternoon.

New York. March ga new base
ball organization grew out Of the
ashes OF the International League
wreck which has gained recognition
by the National Commission and will
be known hereafter as the New Inter-
national League.
Headed by Jack Dunn. president OF
the old Baltimore Internationals, the
magnates who We're in favor of con-
tinuing the organization met after the
vote to suspend the International
League and formed the new organiza-
ton.
After viewing the remains and care
fully studying the mystery surround
ing the violent death Of the Inter-
national League today. the coroner's
Jury tonight returned the following
verdict: Death was due TO a combina-
ton of diseases and injuries received
at the hands Of the old Federal
League.
The formal vote which finally sealed
the fate of the International League,
came this afternoon after a bitter
fight for life. Charles T. Chaplin,
president Of the Rochester club. and
acting pilot Of the league. announced
NhoN NuO NONo SNOOu y W - AhC
Of the magnates voting to continue the
organization were not revealed, but
II Is understood that Jack Dunn.
president Of the Baltimore club, and
James ]. McCaffery. of Toronto. were
the members who cast the white pills.
The suspending Of operations by the
league will relieve 1886 ball players who
will be thrown on the market. 1t Is
probable, however. that some of the
cities formerly supporting an Inter
national club will have a ball club
this season.
In the report submitted by the jury
there were several factors-or dis
eases-partly responsible. The war
and its consequent tax on admissions,
was named as one. The financial fail
ure Of the Buffalo club, which caused
that franchise to be taken over by
the league contributed to the collapse.
But the most important was the un-
willingness on the part of the
magnates themselves to risk further
financial loss this summer.

REGULARS BEAT
YANNIGANS, S TO 3

Augusta, Ga. March 8.-UncIe
SANS selected draft orders In the
calling Of Sammy Rice into active
service came pretty near knocking
all the pep out Of Griffs squad to-
day as only one game was staged be-
tween the Regulars and the Yanigans.
The morning work was devoted en-
tirely to batting practice, but In the
afternoon the Regulars overcame a
short lead gathered by the youngsters
and won the interclub affair by a
5-to-3 count.
By crashing into the offerings of
Adrian Lynch in the lucky seventh
the Regulars managed to overtake
the cubs and place the game beyond
their reach. Al Waldbauer started
the work for the veterans,and al
though his slapts were touched for
three safe blows and two runs he
proved the best of the quartet of
fingers that worked.
Harper relieved the Richmond semi
pro and held the Vans to three hits,
while George Dumont and his Shine
hoater proved a puzzle to the vet
Grams for four innings.
Shanks' triple and McBride's single,
followed by two infield outs, gave the
cubs lead Of two runs in the sec
ond, while a base on balls to YingIing
followed by safe crashes by Ayers and
Shanks added the other tally to the
cubs total.
Waldbauer's whack followed by
Harper's error and Shotton's safe
blow gave the regulars their first
score in the third. Five safe hits, in
cluding a triple by Ainsmith in the
seventh, gave the regulars their final
trio of counters. The score:

MISS BJURSTEDT TO
CONTEND In FINALS

New York, March 2S-Miss Molla
Bjurstedt, the Norwegian girl. and
Miss Eleanor Goss. runner-up in last
years tennis championship tourna-
ment, will contend for the final honors
in a match tomorrow morning.
Miss Bjurstedt defeated Mrs. Johan
Rogge, her countrywoman and part
ner in the doubles. with comparative
ease in the semi-final matches today.
Miss Goss defeated Miss Helene Pol
LAX.
Miss Goss, who came through to
the finals in last years contest, losing
to Miss Marie Wagner. is undoubted-
ly the Morse girls most formidable
rival. Miss Wagner has defaulted her
championship.
The failure of Miss Johan Rogge to
make a better showing against Miss
Bjurstedt was a disappointment to
many. She displays a determined
fighting spirit and plays the same Pc
culiar style known only to the women
of the northland. But at no stage of
the contest today did she appear TO
have any advantage over Miss
Bjurstedt.
The summaries:
Semi-finals woman's singles-Miss
Bjurstedt defeated Mrs. Rogge, so,
6-1. Miss Goss defeated Miss Pollak.
Us, g.
Semi-final doubles-Miss Caroma
Winn and Mrs. Homer Green defeat
ed Mrs. Albert Humphries and Miss
Bessie G. Holden, as, Ga, 6-2.
