GEORGE DREIIL1 HEADS S. A. L.

AS PRESIDENT Shop Circuit Organizes to Start Play April 24-Teams Will Use Newly-Repaired Ratliff Park. S. A. I OFFICIALS. President -George Brehm. Vice Preident Karl Allison. Secretary Lynn Shaw. Treasurer John Ulrich. Much business was transacted and Mans started for the opening of the eason at the S. A. 1 meeting last light. The proposition of whether the league should play the first games on April 24 caused much discussion, as It was thought by a few that Slack of Kasthaven. could not place his team In the field by that time. He, however, put to rest any fears that might be entertained on that score by announcing that he was ready to do anything that the league decided upon. Mason Byers Resigns. Mason Byers, president of the S. A. L. in 1914-15, was unable to attend and sent in his written resignation. The directors expressed thanks and appreciation . for the , past work done for the league by the retiring president. His resignation was accepted. Mr. Losey, who had been handed the managership of the Panhandle nine by Bill Drlschel, in a written communication stated that Walter Snaveley would manage the Panhandles this season. He also stated that he had placed on his reserve list Basey, Bulla, Zeyen, Abel and that Roop made his sixteenth man, but that he would like to use the latter on his indoor team, and that when that, was over Roop would have reported to the Saginaw club, bringing his list down to the re quired fifteen man limit. The Bethard Auto Agency decided that it would be unable to place a team in the league, because it would be impossible for either Mr. Bethard or Lee Dykeman to attend the games on Saturday afternoons. The Natco and Wayne Works were present by proxy. Elect George Brehm. But one officer of the league last year will serve this year. Dykeman and Hi Puckett severing their connection with the S. A. T,.. both deciding to remain out of baseball this summer. George Brehm, who announced his candidacy two weeks ago, was unanimously elected as president; Karl Allison, sport editor of The Palladium, was elected vice president; Lynn Shaw, secretary, and John Ulrich, treasurer. The league favored a board of arbitration to consist of three disinterested persons. Official Ecorers are to be .appointed to serve throughout the sealion. These clauses will be embodied in the constitution. Ratlif park, the home of White's Vigran Reserves, was offered to the S. A. Li. and was accepted. BRAVES FIVE FALLS BACK IN BASEMENT CITY LEAGUE.

GROUND RULES FOR INDOOR BASEBALLL TEAM

Ground rules to govern the play of he Y. M. C. A. Indoor baseball league were last night banded out to managers of the teams enrolled in the league, by Physical Director Roach of the "Y" through the meeting of the S. A. L. and' are as follows: Ground Rules. 1. An ball landing in fair territory

in the gallery is good for two bases, provided the bases are made the same as a fair hit on the floor. A man may be put out if the ball rolls down and is caught and the runner tagged out. 2. Any foul or fair fly may be caught after it has touched the ceiling, wall or gallery and the batter is out. A foul ball must be above the batter's head before contact with the side or back walls before he can be caught out. 3. A foul ball into the gallery shall count as a strike except on the third strike. The batter cannot be put out on a foul ball rolling down from the gallery floor and being caught. 4. Bunting on the third strike is not an out. 6. If any player or players of the batting side, except the coachers, inTforpn with a nlay at home, first or T

DONOVAN'S MEN SHOW UP WELL IN SPRING TRAINING; HE THINKS THEY'LL LEAVE RU1

' . ' ,.. J '"

Left to right: Bill Donovan, Maisel and Hugh High. With the second week in camp at Savannah, Ga., about gone, Wild Bill Donovan's smile hasn't receded . a fraction of an inch. He is a keen enough student of baseball to know that barring another Boston miracle, his club has no chance to win the American league pennant in the good year 1915. But he wasn't hired to win any pennant in the year 1915. He was selected to help lift the Yankees out of a discouraging rut and become part and parcel of the new regime, which intended to try for an uplift. Pitchers Show Claee. There isn't any question as to the strength of his defensive machine. His pitchers at Hot Springs have rounded into fine shape and will compare favorably with any pitching staff in baseball. There is no kick to be heard with such pitchers as Caldwell, Keating, Fisher. Warhop. Brown and Cole on hand, and the practice thus far has shown that in both outfield and infield this defensive strength will be continued. At first base both Mullen and Pipp are fielding like a pair of flashes. Lute Boone at second shows uevelopment and the worth of added experience. Peckinpaugh at short is in fine shape for a good year, and last year he was second among the shortstops, McBride only nosing him out by a point. Fritz Maisel at third is coming along at a wonderful clup and is headed for a great fielding year. So the infield will be capable of furnishing first-class defensive support. In the outfield the addition of Hugh High to the Cree-Cook combination means a first-class department of gardeners. High is a fast young man who covers more than his share of territory and who is well experienced, having TRAVEL TO HAMILTON T Bowlers to Meet Ohio Team. The "Y" bowling team Journeys Saturday to Hamilton, O., for match games with the "Y" of that place. The Ohio team has defeated the Dayton team and bo have the locals. The two teams are pretty evenly match so Rees and crew are expecting a hard time. Those making the trip are Rees, Capt., Ottcn, Melhui?h, Weyman, and Gentle. NEGRO ROBBER SHOT. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 10. Suspected of being the man who held up and robbed William E. Ellis, a trav eling man, of $25 at New Castle, Ind., a negro supposed to be Harry i, Dempsey, 30, was shot and killed early today, in the Brightwood railroad yards here. third, the runner shall be sent back to the base upon which he started and the batter, if a hit is made, shall take no more than first base and the run ner shall be on second. If the bases are full and a hit Is made, the runner from third to home shall be declared out. Rule 17 sec. (a) void. 6. If the game be tie at the end of an hour s play and the batter is up, the game shall be stopped and one full inning played with the side In bat, which was in bat at the end of the playing time. If no score is made, the game goes as a tie and can be played off at some set date. The extra inning shall not take more than fifteen minutes. 7. All questioned decisions shall be decided by the two captains and the the umpire or umpires. 8. There shall be an assistant captain who shall take charge of the team should the captain be absent.. COOMBS SHOWS FORM. DAYTONA, Fla.- Jack Coombs may be a "come back." The veteran pitcher is showing the best fornvof any of the Dodgers twirlers.

understudied the famous ;Ty Cobb in sixty-six games. Developing an Attack. Having decided that his defense is strong enough to repel boarders, Donovan has started working from the jump upon developing an attack. And while he won't have the hardest hitting club in the league he will have a much better offense to show than the Yanks have known for some years. Last season Peckinpaugh and Maisel both hit well below normal form. Both have been working hard to correct their faults at the hat, and both already are beginning to swing with greater ease and freedom. But even If they fail to improve noticeably, Donovan has a first baseman in Walter Pipp who has sliown from the first day in camp that a runmaker is around. Pipp is a big, tall fellow, over six feet and around 190 pounds in weight. He has a free swing and a clear eye. and his drives move out on a line, leaving a trail of smoke in their wake. In addition to being a fine hitter, as such things look this early in the spring, Pipp is also fast and shifty. Great Outfield Combination. The Yankee outfield so far looks to be the best this club has known for some time. High. Cree and Cook, the one syllable combination, are not to be taken lightly. Cree batted .309, Cook around .290 and High around .270, which is pretty well over the general outfield average at bat better than the Boston Braves' outfield bat--ted last year. CAMBRIDGE TO JOIN SUNDAY BALL CLUBS f Richmond Asks Neighboring City to Make Sixth Team in League. The Richmond baseball club does not favor Vogel's T. T.'s as one of the traveling clubs in the proposed Sunday league. Instead Frohapple of Cambridge City will probably be asked to place the sixth team in the field. Doc Littel of the Bame city will be asked to attend the meeting. There would be no trouble in engaging a good team for that city as several Semi-Pro managers would welcome the chance of arranging regular bookings for their teams and would be glad of the opportunity to place their entire team in the city. One thing that will not be tolerated in case the proposition goes through tis that no man be eligible to play on any of the six teams who is above a certain class in his profession. This will eliminate the practice so often indulged in by managers late in the sesion who will grab off the returning stars from the National and American Leagues. 176 SEALERS FACE DEATH ON ICE PACK BY LEASED WIRE. ST. JOHN'S, N. F., March 10. One hundred and seventy-six men are In peril of death on four sealing vessels caught in an ice pack that is being driven toward here today. Because of a blizzard that is raging it is impossible for other vessels to go to their assistance. The trapped -sealers are the Diana, Terra Nova, Erik and Viking. They were bound for the Gulf of St. Lawrence when caught in the ice. Baron Jean Baptiste Clootz, who lived from 1755 to 1794, was an enthuiast who adopted and preached the doctrines of the French revolution., He dubbed himself "The Orator of the Human 'Race" and "Anacharsis Clootr."

WOMEN FORGET LURE OF DANCE FOR BILLIARDS

Return to Game Popular With Fair Sex Before French Revolution Sport Calls for Skill. BY FRANK G. MENKE. Sporting Editor of the International Newe Service. Smashing through the barriers of man-made convention, women are invading the high class billiard rooms in the big cities and are devoting many of their leisure hours to the mastery of the games of pocket and three-ball billiards. Woman, by nature, Is a natural billiard player, and in the days before the French revolution, women ranked among the greatest billiard players in the world. Women of the French nobility and aristocracy played billiards and played the game wonderfully well. And in those days proficiency in the game of billiards was as much of a social asset for women as is dancing today. Game Loses Favor. Billiards lost in favor in France after the revolution. In the past fifty years the game of billiards has been almost ' exclusively a man's same. men nave made it so by throwing a barrier, around it and permitting only those of their own sex to enter. Billiards has been held up as a game for men only, yet, there is no game that is more suit for women and women's peculiar, temperament. It is a gentle game one that does not call for any show of strength or endurance. But it does call for a delicacy of touch, a keen eye -and-a light muscular development the very things in which woman, by nature, is man's superior. Man really 13 naturally handicapped in a game of billiards. He is strong. He has powerful muscles, the tendency of which is to strike with full power. Man must subdue that smashing, crushing impulse because smashing means failure 99 Jmes out of 100. Invade Public Halls. . The invasion of public billard rooms of the high class sort by women was distasteful to the proprietors at first, but . they have changed their views. The presence of women in the poolrooms has been a silent influence for better conduct among the men patrons and has caused almost a total absence of cuss words by men over failure to make shots while women are present. In some of the New York cafes the proprietors have taken cognizanve of the new feminine demand for a game of billiards. These fellows have chopped off part of their dance floor space and made that portion into a billiard room for women. And the tables are always busy, many women preferring billiards to the fox trot.
