The magnates were in session Just 6ne hour before Lyneh'B name was offered. Brush finally arose, said that there appeared little chance of either the Heydley or the John M. Ward factions giving In and that be wished to nominate Thomas J. Lynch. In a second the other seven moguls cried "seconded." Then Mr. Ebbetta nominated Heydley as secretary and treasurer. The magnates then elected their board of directors for the coming year. They are: John T. Brush, New York; Garry Herrmann, Cincinnati; Charles T. Ebbetts, Brooklyn; Charles W. Murphy, Chicago, and Barney Dreyfuss, Pitts burg. Brush a Director. Brush was elected to succeed George - Dovey of Boston, who recently died. Lynch was one of the most suc cessful umpires that ever handled an Indicator. He quit in 1895 after the trouble he had in Baltimore with the Orioles. . Scrappy Jack Dalton resent ed one of his decisions and jumped on Lynch's feet, burying his spikes deep into the flesh. Lynch resigned his po sition that night, saying that he didn't tare to mingle longer with such rowdies as were then connected with the game. Lynch and John Gaffney were considered in the old days as the greatest team of officials in the game. Their presidents never failed to back them up in their decisions. After retiring from baseball Lynch bought a theater in New Britain and has been connected with the theatrical business ever since. Heydler Will Accept. It was declared that President Heydler would accept the subordinate office to which he was elected and work In harmony with Lynch. He is known is a tlose friend of his successor. The bitter fight ended with a handshaking fest and when the magnates left their quarters all appeared to be as smooth as ice. but not so frigid. PISH IS PACIFIED Noted Harvard Athlete Will Return to the Cambridge University. WAS BADLY DISGRUNTLED (American News Service) Boston, Deo. 18. When Hamilton Fish, Jr., captain of the Harvard football team, and defeated candidate for the class marshal, left Harvard for a few days, he intended never to return ,as a student. He has changed his mind and will be back at the University "within less than a week. This is. largely due to a long distance conversation between him and President A. Lawrence Lowell in which, the head of the university realized the danger to the college and the class of '09 if Fish should allow his disappointment over the result of the class political contest to drive him from Cambridge. These statements are made upon the authority of a prominent member of the class. They Indicate that the tempest that threatened to disrupt next summer's graduating class is about to pass over and that the heads of the university will succeed in reuniting the hostile camps in the class. In a Silk Seek District. The Twenty-ninth is known as New York's silk stocking district from the fact that if it was known of a candidate that he wore any other kind he would be cut at hts club and knifed at the polls. There is a legend In the district to the effect that a man once went to the assembly from there and cut open his cheek at his first breakfast in Albany.

JEFFRIES ALWAYS WAS AGGRESSIVE

The Undefeated Heavyweight Champion Never Cared Much for the Stage. WANTED TO AVOID CROWDS JIM CORBETT TOOK HIS SEAT BY JEFFRIES VERY MUCH TO HEART, AS HE WAS ALWAYS A VERY VAIN MAN. , As a champion Jeffries was a busy fellow. After 1885 Sullivan did not average a fight a year; Corbett (ought but two real fights in defense of his title In four years; Fitz defend ed it, but once In two years. Jeff weeded out the challengers as fast as he could get at them, for Jeff never cared for the theatrical game. He despised the one-night stands with the loathing of a man who hates to have people staring at him. "They look to me." he once complained, "as if I was a side show freak. All I want is to be left alone." So he tried to get away from the curious crowds by going into training quarters. Seven months after whipping Sharkey at Coney Island, Jeff had another fight on his hands, this time with the former employer, James J. Corbett. Corbett was in bad with the better element. One year after his defeat at Carson City, Corbett had boxed Sharkey in New York, and when he was being beaten by the sailor one of Corbett's seconds climbed into the ring and the fight- was lost on a foul. "Uncle" Bill Naughton came out the next morning with a story which dropped Jim Corbett into the faking class. Corbett Gets in Shape. Corbett, always very vain, took this much to heart. The loss of the fight was as nothing to the loss of personal popularity and the reputation of being a game fighter. Corbett quietly set about conditioning himself for a hard fight. For nearly two years he kept under cover, but all the time he was slowly working back into condition. He cut the midnight suppers and the pastry and the wine, and drank water and exercised on the road and in private gymnasium. When he felt that he was "right" he challenged Jeffries and was accommodated. Only a few people looked for Corbett to make any sort of a showing the general impression prevailed that he was "all in" two years before. Corbett gave everybody a great surprise in that Coney Island engagement. He turned up in the ring as lean as a lathe and as sound in wind as a new bellows. For 23 rounds he danced rings around the burly champion, stabbing and ripping and jabbing and dancing out of danger. It was the old Corbett in everything but the power of the punch. That he did not have; had not had for many years. One Punch Enough. But he had the decision won a city block on cleverness, and he made Jeff look like an awkward school boy. Just when Corbett sympathizers were cheering their hardest, believing that Jim was about to regain his championship on points, Jeff made an awkward runs, let fly a wandering wallop, and down went James J. Corbett in a heap, knocked out in the twenty-third round by the first good punch which the champion had managed to land. Once more Corbett was a popular hero, and Jeffries went on the road again, enduring the one-night stands with Spartan fortitude. ' There was one dent in his armor, which he felt bound to iron out the draw with Gus Ruhlin. Billy Madden was handling Ruhlin, and Billy had a way of saying very sarcastic things to newspaper men, which later appeared in print. Billy was demanding a battle for Ruhlin as the Akron Giant's right. Jeff barnstormed for awhile, visited his folks, went quail shooting a' few times, boxed a couple of exhibitions on the coast, and then went Into training for Ruhlin, the fight to take place in San Francisco, boxing having been revived on the coast. This was at the very time a young negro named Johnson was winning a lot of pork and bean fights in Galveston. Almost Broke Ruhlin in Two. Jetf fought Ruhlin the second time on November 15, 1901, four years af ter the first meeting. Most people believe that Ruhlin quit cold in five rounds. As a matter of fact, Jeff bombarded the Akron giant's stomach so heavily that Ruhlin was all but brok en in two by the hammering he received. Those who doubted the effect of Jeff's punches should have seen Billy Madden's face, peering through the ropes in Ruhlin's corner. Every time Jeffs fist crashed into Ruhlin's stomach. Madden winced, for Ruhlin had told his manager that the punches were killing him. Gus could not continue, and Jeffries won in the fifth round, thus wiping out one of the two draw decisions reg istered against him. Ruhlin was the last of the crop of young men. There remained nothing for Jeff after this fight, but Fitzsimmons said he was not "right" at the time he defended his title; Corbett said his great showing entitled him to a second meeting with his old sparring partner. Jeff was willing. He would rather' fight than go vn the road with a theatrical business, and then signed articles for a return match with Fitzsimmons. to take place in San Francisco. This was unquestionably Jeffries 's hardest battle.

500 PLAYERS WERE USED LAST SEASON Two Big Major Leagues Last Season Tried Many Experiments. GRIFFITH TRIED SEVERAL BRESNAHAN OF THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS, DID SOME TALL HUSTLING SOME OF CHANGES MADE BY TEAMS. The two major leagues the American and National used exactly 408 players during the 1009 season. Ban Johnson's eight teams employed 233. while the older organization housed eight less. The bevy of 498 includes every player who got in as much as a single inning from the rise of the curtain in April, to its fall, in October. The "dope" shows that Napoleon Lajoie and "Deacon Jim" McGuire called upon thirty-seven diamond warriors to land them in sixth position. Of course a lot of them were youngsters and played in only a couple of games in the wi'nd-up of the campaign. Out Of this list, though, six were sent back to the minors with a card, "good but not good enough." This sextet wers Josh Clark, Liebhardt, Raferty, Land, Wright and Booles. While the Naps did not figure in a big swap with any of the other major league teams, one player, Neal Ball, was secured from the Yankees. "Old Fox" Was There. "Old .Fox" Clarke Griffith and Joa Cantillion caused oil of the excitement. Grif lived up to his old tactics when he was boss of the Yankees and e'ployed forty-six players. Cantillion These two also slipped the release coupon the oftenest. Clarke chased eight assistants to the minors and "Dethroned Joe" went him three better. Several big deals were also made and in this department Cantillon was once more the central figure. For a starter he sent "Bill" Burns to the White Sox and received "Nick" Altrock, "Jiggs" Donohue and 'Bill" Cravath. This trio didn't last very long and each one wafted its way to Brother Mike in Minneapolis. Then in the wind-up he gave to Hughey Jennings Jim Delehanty and Wade Killifer for his share. Fred Lake added Pitchers Smith, Sehlitzer and Chesbro and let out 'Cy" Morgan. Bresnahan Was Busy. Roger Bresnahan did some tall shuffling with his Cardinals. He got rid of Bobby Byrne, Charles Higginbotham and Moore, and received Hulswitt, Mowrey, Barbeau and Storke. Fred Clarke's one big "David Harum. netted him Bobby Byrne for Storke and Barbeau. "Joe" Ward, who started out with the Yankees, was the only player to move to the National league. He batted but 14 for the Yankees In nine

Ja.This half . proved lo b a burlesque of the game, although 23 points were made. Spangler and Marlatt learned during the evening that they were eligible, so were sent in. They played as good as could be expected, not having practiced with the other men. Spangler succeeded in throwing three field goals, while Allison came in with five. Marlatt made two goals from difficult angles and Ferling decorated with one. Although Mayer did not make any , from . the field, he assisted materially by bis good passing. For Connersville, Con well was the star. He made six field goals all being long shots from the center of the floor. Tressler and Hincbman at forwards did not show up to much advantage. Marlatt and Hasemeier at center both outclassed Davidson. McCormick at guard was very weak, allowing Taggart six and Spangler three field goals.
