SPEAKING OF SP®RT BY FRANK GETTY

(United Press Sports Editor) The International League Situation i A certain faction in the Internation- > al League, perhaps the strongest and certainly the most independent of the Double A circuits, continues to harbor the urge to break away from the domination of the majors and from a basebail organization of their own. This would be in direct opposition to organized baseball as presently constituted under the Lahdis dynasty, but it would not mean war, necessarily. The majors still could deal with the independent group, but on somewhat different terms. It is'largely a matter of what support among the leagues of their own strength and clasification the rebel faction in the International could muster. This faction, at any rate, blocked the election of a successor to the late John Conway Toole at the recent meeting in New York on the eve of | the opening of the season. Just when everything seemed set for the election of Sam Robertson to the presidency, the opposing group stepped in and caused the league to take action whereby no president was chosen.

Instead, Charles H. Knapp, president of the Baltimore club, will be “executive head" of the circuit during the cutrent season. Later, if the independently minded group continues to have its way, the International may turn to its Eastern neighbor for a president. The New Ht-ven club may lose its leader if the International acquires a president in the manner indicated. Sam Robertson The man who believed slated fbr election at last week’s meeting was Sapinel L. Robinson, of Buffalo, N. Y. Robertson comes of fighting stock, his family having been one of the first in the “frontier” region around Niagara Falls. In the fall of 1920, Robertson and some of his friends bought the Buffalo ball club from Joe Lanuin. Two yea-s later, he built the first modern minor league park. He was on the ■ major-minor committee and always a leader in the fighting in the International League ranks, being opposed in general to the late Fretident Toole. Robertson sold his interest in the Buffalo dub last summer and now owns no baseball stock.

A bunch of the boys, and girls too. were whooping it up at Cody's Spring festival—the trappers’ ball. It had attracted the residents of Wyoming and Montan i from near and far away. The ] attendance was so large that the Temple Theatre and Codyutn dance-hall ' had to be used for the activities. The wals wej-e draped with beautiful furs —] prize catches of the winter. The hilarity w is punctuated at midnight by a thrill that wasn't on the program. Two bullets swept across a crowded dance floor. When the smoke of a pistol had cleared, and startled dancers had recovered from shock, Russell Mation. a trapper, was found with a bullet in his thigh and William Peterman was holding a pistol. Peterman was charged with assault. Pressed for an explanation of his act, Peterman said he was so drunk he did not know what lie was doing. — 0 A»tronomical Term A "light yutir" is the term employed In astronomy to indicate the distance a ray of light traveling ISG.OOO miles a second can traverse in n year.
