BEST CHAXCE KLLTLR. Swial to The Courier-Journal. NEW Oii LEANS, Dec. 8. That reputed speed demon, The Boy, now racing under the colors of Nash Turner, and 'which has been trying for the greater part of the year to live up to the claims made for him In the spring, suddenly came to life here today and won his long-delayed victory.

This hitherto disappointing son of Celt Sand Dune captured the Mandeville Handicap, a six-furlong sprint for all ages, from a field of good performers and gave sucb a good exhibition of speed that he qualed the track record of 1:14 for the distance. The Boy's followers have been afraid to play on him or against him. In the spring he belonged to Kl chard F. Carman, who trained him through the winter on the old lienning track, near Washington. From time to time word came from Benntng that was a veritable speed marvel at work on the course, a horse that could fairly fly.

It turned out that this was The Boy. One wealthy horseman offered a big price for him If he could show his speed over a distance of a mile. The ofTer was turned down because it was known that The Boy could not maintain his terrific pace for more than four furlongs. The Boy At Home When the racing season opened all Maryland had a Up on The Boy. and about all Maryland played htm.

The Boy failed to win, and he continued to fall throughout the until lie had lost all his followers. He was a. thoroughly discounted performer when he was sold to Nash Turner. The new owner brought him to New Orleans and today found a spot for the sprinter. Among the starters In the Mandeville were Ballet Dancer Franklin and Sands of Pleasure, all racers which like a longer distance than six furlongs and are slow to get under way.

Track records are still falling on the Jefferson Park course, and two more went down today. A. L. KIrhy's War Garden, which is showing improved form, set a new mark for five and a half furlongs in the fourth race. This Is the third time during this meeting that the figures for this distance have been lowered.

C. Bain's Mather set a new record for a mile and a sixteenth In the last race.

Charges Against Centre Men Are Considered Ridiculous I came to Indiana. Here Is how Centre happened to get so many Fort Worth high school boys.

Cuach Myers, of Centre, was the mentor at Fort Worth High and wa played high school ball under him. When hp accepted a position as coach at Centre he induced the other hoys to go with him there. "Jioberts. another Centre star. Is not from Texas, but lives at Som- 4 erset, Ky.

These boys have all played three years of college football and do not deserve the name of professionals. The Fort Worth players all grew up with me as kids in that town. "And you can say Indiana was a good loser, even if Centre did beat us in. the last minute of play. We are not seeking an alibi for our defeat at the hands of this great team."

Fully 15.000 persons were crowded Into the North Station, cheering and singing the "Marsel-laise." The French promoters are pleased that Carpentier has not signed an agreement of any kind with C. B. Cochrane, the British promoter. M. DeCoin.

Carpentier spoke highly of the sportsmanship of the British public, but added that he was sure Americans would be equally fair. Nevertheless he preferred to meet Dempsey in France.

Dec. 8 (Associated Press). President Ban Johnson of the American League, accompanied by five "loyal" club owners, departed tonight for New-York to accept the challenge of the three "rebel' directors and attend the meeting called for Wednesday to settle the contest for the presidency of the league. The controversy will be fought out on the ground chosen by the minority directors of the league. Charles Conilskey.

owner of the Chicago club: Harry Frazee of the Boston club and Col. Jacob Ruppert. owner of the New York club. The decision to attend the New York meeting was reached by the five loyal club owners at a secret meeting this afternoon. After the session.

President Johnson announced that the meeting- called for Chicago on Wednesday had been called off. This action was taken on the advice of counsel that the quickest way to straighten out the tangle was to compel- the opposition to "lay Its cards on the table of its own choosing." Georce W. Miller, counsel for Presi dent Johnson and his associates, said that the majority club owners did not by their action admit the right of the directors to call this meeting, but it was their desire to compel a show down. tha three club owners Messrs. Oomiskey.

Jluppert and Krazee met lork and the otner live in Chicago." Attorney Miller said, "there might be lurtner litigation to em-barass the league. The three directors might set up the plaim that their meeting was the legal one. and not having a quorum might adjourn and throw the league into endless litigation. "To circumvent this possibility the majority club owners decided to meet the minority on their own ground and settle the dispute at once." The meeting today was not a protracted one. and at its conclusion all parties maintained that it was both harmonious, and confident.

All five clubs were fully represented. Those In attendance were: B. S. Minor and Clark Griffith of the Washington club, President Phil Ball and Business Manager Robert Quinn of St. Louis.

Treasurer Tom Shibe and Manager Connie Mack of the Philadelphia club. Frank J. Navin of the Detroit club and James C. Dunn of Cleveland. President Comiskey of Hie Chicago Americans, who is aligned with the faction opposed to Johnson, also left for New York tonight.

Navin Makes Effort to Bring About Peace New York. Dec. 8 (Associated I'ress). Col. T.

L. Huston, one of the owners of the New York Americans, admitted tonight that the club owners opposing Ban Johnson, presi dent of the league, were approached last wek by avin. president of the Detroit club, with a view to bringing about peace in the American League. "Navin first approached Kd Barrow, manager of the Boston club, oh a deal." said Colonel Huston, "and after that had several conferences with Harry Frazee. president of the Boston club.

Krazee asked me whether 1 would meet Navin last Sunday morning, and I said I had no objections. "Though neither of us had power to represent the opposing factions. we had an informal talk of an hour, in which Navin made a strong argu- ment for the establishment of peace in our league. I told him we would not yield from our stand, but I be lieve I convinced him that the meet- ing called by the Board of Directors wa; the onlv legal meeting that could be called, and that any meeting held in Chicago would be an illegal one. Mr.

Navin took a train for Chicago shortly after our conference. We are 2lad. of course, at the decision of the other clubs to come here in response to our call for a meeting. We take no arbitrary stand, but we are con- vinced that conditions of the past must not be repeated, and that here- after no man can have the arbitrary i cirion in the eacue which was by Mr. Johnson before the i Mays case.

meets in Birmingham. December 12. The purpose of this meeting Is to consider the adoption of a new constitution. Many changes have been made necessary by the war and other factors, but the one change which will arouse con- siderable discussion Is the adoption of the one-year or freshman rule. This1 rule will prohibit the playing of freshmen or first-year men on teams of colleges which belong to the S.

I. A- A. Heretofore the colleges belonging to the S. 1. A.

A. have been divided Into two classes, one class enforcing the one-year rule, and the other allowing freshmen to play. The new constitution proposes to make the one-year rule unanimous. The adoption of this constitution as it stands will go hard with the Kentucky members of the association, especially with those colleges that are going to make a big effort to gather in some athletic material next year In a desperate effort to stop the winning streak of the Colonels. Georgetown.

State nnd Transylvania are going to need some good freshman material to make a good showing next year. It can hardly be hoped that either of theso teams will have a chance to slop the Centre aggregation, but a good team next year with some freshmen on it will nn-nn a much better team the year nrter. and sn on. with a big rhanco or turning the tables in tlu; near future. The exclusion of freshmen year will materially bun Kentucky toot bull for a year at least, disregarding the internal rivalry thai Would Munii Setback.

It is a matter worthy of discussion her or not the one -year rule should apply to Kentucky colleges. On account of the large numbt-r Kentucky high, school stars who leave the State to go to college, the local sehools are forced to develop men further to make up a team than they would be If they got their share of stars, already experienced. Kentucky football is beginnfg to. rank with the best of the sectional outputs, and a setback at this lime would do untold harm. Kentucky colleges usually have a Miuad numbering less than fifty men.

I-arger colleges have twice or three times this number. The adoption of the freshman rule would force the Kentucky colleges to compete with the colleges doing the same thing. This Is a costly proposlticv now. when at best all of the available mont-y needed to bring good teams to the State for games. There is another matter that might be looked into.
