High Cost of Travel

New York, Jan. 5.-Baseball is the
one intercollegiate sport that is likely
TO be seriously curtailed in the COM

material at the college or a lack of
desire on the part of the students to
play the game. The reason is to be
found In a lack" to be sure. and
that lack is money Baseball. usually

ises in most places TO be a big loser
IN 1919
The explanation to this anomalous
state of affairs is found in the in.
creased travelling expenses this year
over last. Where in the past it cost
only trife over two cents a mile to
travel including parlor-car accOmmo-
dations-for the teams were always
able to obtain reduCtions-it will cost
five cents mile or more this year,
and even a team which makes only
one or two trips will find its expenses
mounting skyward in no time at all.
This serves to show why great diff

trying to book games for their teams
None OF the mines wants to travel

predicted there will be more games

as Dartmouth. which is situated so
far away from the center of things.

Sammy Harris. who are running the

in the interest of the Triple A organi-

Il was given every assurance that
X. o. Loughlin, who was billed to
meet Jack Britton in the headliner,
would post a forfeit. Loughlin not
only failed to do so but has never
sent a single line as to why he has
failed to live up ITO his part of the
agreement. Were we ta wait until the

on n high plane would receive another
black mark.
Deputy Marshal Sam House has
drawn up a set OF rules to govern the
boxing game in this city, and the
Triple A club is going to strictly ad-
her to them or close its doors, and
for that reason alone we decided to
postpone our weekly show when

Frazee Wants Champs
To Take All the Spoils

New York. Jan. when the major
leagues hold their joint meeting here
on January l6, several proposals will
be made to change the present
division of the worlds series receipts.
The circumstances under which the
split was made between the clubs
after the worlds series last fall
caused no end of dissatisfaction and
many club owners believe that the
scheme which was first advocated by
John X. Tener. former president of
the National League. should be
dropped.
The most radical suggestion of n
change comes from President Harry
Frazee of the Red Sox. He will pro-
pose at the coming meeting that the
winner of the worlds series take all
the receipts. He believes in the
policy that ito the winner belong

GUS WEIGH RECEIVES
CAPTAINCY In ARMY

New York. Jan. Word comes
from France that Gus Welch. famous
as football player at Carlisle a few
years ago. is now captain of a COM
pany of the SOSth Pioneer regiment.
Nelch played on the great Indian
team led by Jim Thorpe in 1912. and
a year later Captained the Carlisle
eleven. He was studying law at Dick
lnson College when he abandoned his
studies to attend the officers training
school at Fort Niagara last year.
where he earned a commission as a
first lieutenant OF cavalry. He was
assigned to Camp Meade and later
transferred from the cavalry to a de-
velOpment company. and went over
seas last August. Welch, it is said.
Is the first full-blooded Indian to rise
to the rank Of captain in the United
States army since the civil war.

GREAT HORSE BRINGS
Sl00 AT BIG SALE

Toronto. Jan. 5.-There was
touch of pathos to the recent Re-
pOsitOry sale when Inferno. who is
recognized as the greatest horse
ever foaled in Canada. was brought
into the ring. The record of the
once great racer. who during his
stud duties has developed a very
ugly disposition. Is still green
among the patrons OF the turf
In 1906 he won the Kings plate
and was returned winner OF the
King Edward gold cup for three
successive years. beginning 1906. In
1907 he also won the Toronto cup
at the WOodbine spring meeting. In
addition he won numerous other
stakes at the Woodbine meeting and
around the Canadian circuit.
Therefore. it was a big surprise
when the horse was offered for auc-
ton and when the bidding was over
he was knocked down to a Toronto
man for a paltry 500. Later in the
day he was sold to another party at
an advance OF S25.

FULTz TO LEAD
international
To Fight Ban Johnson for
Reconstruction of Com
mission; Meet Today.

New York. Jan. 5.-Baseball will
occupy the center OF the sportive
stage the next few weeks. The
curtain raiser to the second series
Of all important meetings at which
the reconstruction problems of the
game will be determined takes
place tomorrow. when the Intsrna
tional League convenes at the Hotel
Imperial Thereafter baseball lead
ers will be ear deep in the work OF
preparation for the campaign OF
1919. Greater problems than ever
have confronted the sport loom in
the offing.
Since the last meeting early in
December the club owners of the
International have been striving di-
ligently to restore the league to its
financial feet. There is every rea-
son to believe the necessary funds
to launch the organization will be
supplied. Liberal expenditures en-
ablsd the International to finish last
season intact and the spOrtsmen
who provided the sinews stand
ready to do so again. There is
much work to be done, but the In
ternationals will be in the field next
season. That much is certain.
Not the least important problem
confronting the circuit is the selec-
tion of a president. Dave Fultz will
doubtless succeed John J. Farrell. of
Auburn. because of his passive at
titude toward Ban Johnson and
August Hermann. 1t is the inten-
tion of the club owners to make thu
International a virile. aggressive or
EanizatiOn. For that reason they
desire a leader of FUltz's ability.
Like other minor organizations
the International is preparing to
fight along with the progressive
major league club owners for a
complete reconstruction OF the Ma
tionaI Commission. The InternatiOn-
al does not intend further to en-
dure the humilatiOns thrust upon 1t
by those who. in the past, have
dominated the commission. With
Fultz rs president it will be well
fortified for the fight for recogni-
tion.
It has not yet been determined
what clubs will form the league
next season. but it doubtless will
embrace teams in Toronto. Newark,
Buffalo, Rochester. Jersey City, Bal
timore. Providence and Syracuse. or
Binghampton. There is meagre like
lihood of any redistriCtinE of the
territory so that four or five Of the
clubs would amalGamate with the
Eastern League.

POLICE HANDLE
BOXING BOUTS
St. Louis an Example Of
Right Way to Conduct
Sport-Against Law.

Boxing promoters who are agitat-
ing the passage of bill for the game
in their respective States can profit by
the method used in st. Louis. out
there boxing is conducted under the
guidance of the police department.
The Missouri law makes it an offense
to conduct prizefghts in the State in
public. This has generally been con-
strued to mean that bouts with gloves
held before clubs and to which admis-
sion is restricted to club members are
legal, provided the fighters are paid
stated sum for their work and there
is no decision.
The limit of the number of rounds
now allowed is eight. Conditions are
so unsatisfactory in Missouri at the
present time that there has been con-
siderable agitation for the passage of
law regulating the sport. In Kansas
City. Joplin and st. Joseph bouts OF
fifteen rounds at times are allowed.
with public admissions and decisions
In a suit last year at st. Louis, when
Jack Dillon and George Brown were
accused of taking. the bout was
stopped and DillOn's share of the
purse withheld. The court decided
that boxing was illegal. But mas
much as Brown had the money in his
possession he was allowed to keep it,
The court declined to take any ac-
tion and the case wars dropped No
case to establish the exact status OF
the game in the State under the pres
ent method has ever been carried to
an upper court. and the police Off
cials interpret the matter as they see
fit. There seems to be an unwritten
law. however. that covers boxing in
Missouri. and officials let bouts. under
police supervision, go through as
scheduled
