THE SUN TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1918. 15 Seeks Professional Ball Players litre for OVERSEAS BASEBALL LEAGUE LAUNCHED W. A. Parsons Scck8 Players Hero for a Professional Circuit of Six Clubs. By FREDERICK O.

LIEI. An oversea profession! baseball or- to be composed of six clubs and to be known as the Anglo-American League has been launched, according to raraons. who was In this cltjr yes-ter'j'ay on a hunt for players. Howard E. pooker of San Francisco, who has been active In English and on the turf for the last eight years, has received permission from the British War Office to start the league In England.

London, Paris and Brighton are sure of daces In the league. Three clubs will be located at camps with representation likely for Aix-les-Balns and Vichy, recreation centres for American troops. The league will play a five month sea-ton, opening on April 1 and closing on September 1. Owing to the rainy season London In the early fall. It was deemid advisable to close at this date.

Tuenty-flvc per cent, of will to tlio Bed Cross. Booker, who Is promoting the league, mvs both the HrltUih and French oftl-cIpW strongly Indorse the project, as they all t-ae ben won over to democratizing features of American baseball. Booker has the moving picture privileges at the Urtet training camps In Englund. Including the great camp at Salisbury and Is well Acquainted with high officials In the London War Office. Went Strong; Last Year.

liookor originally went to England aa i horseman, but has been an active sport (remoter all his life. He conducted Um Jack Johnson-Jim Johnson fight In Paris 1313. eyes were opened to (he possibilities of baseball abroad last summer by me great uirongs wnicn flocked to games between American and Canadian soldier teams In London. This Interest was not confined to Americans, of i horn there are many In London, but British spott followers also have taken ilronsly to the game. Booker says the English learned the game fast, and had their appetites whetted to a point last summer where they demanded more.

Artie Latham, the old Brown third baseman and former Giant coach, promoted these American-Canadian games last ummcr, and is associated with Booker 1.1 tho new venture. in whe-e there aro even more than London, the baseball interest also 14 r. liming high. It had a foothold there even before the tragedy of August, 1914. The games naturally are expected to draw well at the American camps, es-teclally at the recreation, centres, where professional baseball Is expected to make ir.cle Sam's fighters feel at home.

Only Military Exempts Wanted. Parsons, who Is making arrangements the league on this side of the pond, li ready to sign thirty American players. The Icngue will start on a Class basis. The promoters will pay salary for Ave months and full expenses to players both ways across the Atlantic. Parsons :r.ay be reached at 96 Washington street.

Newark. Only players below or above the draft ice, or who have been exempted from military service for good cause, will be considered. With the thirty American as a nucleus, the promoters of the league will build up, their clubs with Amtrican and Canadian players now In England or France and other athletes tho have taken up the game. Parsons Is an old minor league promoter, ami formerly owned the Portland ind Lawrence New England League Ciuts. At Lawrence he developed the t.4 star.

Gene Be Montrevllle. It Is the Idea of Booker arid Parsons to continue the league after the war, hen they hope to branch out their circuit to take In the leading cities of England and France. By developing native tilent, it is their hope to eventually raise the league to full major league calibre, i contests may be held with the leading t'ams In America. A world's championship series of real torlduldc Interest ceases to be an Idle ram of the thirty-third degreo fan By ten years It may be a reality. JABS GIVE VALGAE VICTORY.

NELSON HOLDS ONTO WRESTLING HONORS Welterweight Champion Beats Qus Peterson by Two Falls to One. After one of the most stubbornly contested wrestling bouts yet held In this city Louis Nelson of Brooklyn, holder of the welterweight championship, successfully defended his title against. Gus Peterson, instructor of wrestling at Columbia University, Nelson won by two falls to one, Peterson gaining the second fall of tho match. Nelson's vitality enabled him to wear Peterson down just as he did Will Blnghnm. When his opponent was wearied frpm tho hard -work the champion put on the flnlshlug touche.

A large and enthusiastic crowd watched the contest They were veryJ-J wary on taxing noia ror the first fall and sparred for several minutes before they went to tho mat with Nelson on top. But Peterson soon regained hla feet and there followed another long session of sparring and feinting. Although Nelson got his man on his knees several times he failed to pin him to the-mat until they had been at It one hour and thirty-three minutes, when the champion got a full nelson on Peterson and pressed his shoulders to the mat. To the astonishment of the onlooker Peterson turned the tables on Nelson and won the second fall with nn arm-look In 6 minutes. Nelson charged that Peterson was using Jlu-Jltsu tactics, but the referee declined to take any action.

B.Mh men were tired when they took hold for the third and last fall. Nelson was the stronger of the two, and after twenty-two minutes of hard work, the champion got 'a head and arm lock and pinned his man for tho final fall of the night. BOXING BILL IN JERSEY.

8-2. OKORCB B. V2VDbWOOD. After Ave and a half minutes of lightning play In the fifth period of the hockey battle between the local Wanderers and the Boston Navy Yard seven In the Bt Nicholas Rink last night Micky Koach, the red haired centre man of the New York seven drove homo tho goal that battered the Boston Tars down to a to 8 defeat Roach's goal broke a 2 to 2 deadlock that stood at the end of the second regular period. The two sevens played two five mlnuts extra periods, and then Referee John McOrath ordered "sudden death" period, as a session Is called when victory hinges on tho first goal scored.

It was In this period that Roach drove home the victory. The game was the fastest and fiercest seen In this neck of the woods In many moons. Both sevens played brilliant hockey, which at times deteriorated Into the hammer and tongs variety. The hot feelings aroused finally culminated In a fltslc scrap In the second period In which Tom Howard, dropped Foxy McICtn-non with a right uppercut to the jaw. Itecralt Takes Coant.

Late In the second period McKlnnon, who is a new recruit from the Arena A. C. seven of New Haven, and Howard got Into a slashing match near rink centre. The referee ordered both men 1o the side lines. As the two stood In front of the timer's box they got Into an altercation and Howard suddenly whipped hla right to the Jaw.

Howard's fist, encased In the whale-bono ribbed hockey gloves; landed--like a boulder on McKlnnon's Jaw and Foxy dropped to the Ice like a log. Foxy tottered to hla feet and rammed tho butt of his shlllelah In Howard's abdomen. As he did Tom Howard. the father of the player, who was sitting alongside of the timer, reached over and caught McKlnnon "another wallop on the conk," as one of the ushers expressed lx.K Brother Jack Howard, also In the navy, who was sitting In uniform alongside of Father Tom, also decided to get In the shindig. With both the Clan Howard and the United States Navy launching an at tack on htm McKlnnon faced annihila tion.

Just when a pleasant little Don-nybrook, In which spectators as well as players were taking a hand, threatened to get well started cooler heads pre vailed, tho row was stopped and Mo-Klnnon saved. Never a Dull Moment. The Wanderers got the Jump In the opening period. Roach putting his team in front by scoring a goal In 2:05 after a pretty Individual rush. Boston braced and there was no further scoring until 13:25, when Dufresne, foxlly laying In position In front of the Navy cage after bringing the puck down the Ice and passing to Smith, drove home the disk on the rebound of Smith's shot, which cleverly had been fended by Lecrolx.

The Boston Tars rallied and twenty seconds before tbe end of the period Shaughnessey tallied from scrimmage on Hutchinson's rebound. The score was unchanged untlt fourteen mtnutee and twenty seeonds of play In second period, when "Ramie" Skilton. the star of the game. In the prettiest play of the evening xlsxagged down the Ice alone and tied the score with a beautiful drive past Lewis. A second before the whistle sounded the end of the (second period Roach, hovering on the fringe of scrimmage, drove nt the goal.

The disk whizzed Into the net and It looked as If the shot had given tho Wanderers the victory. The whistle, however, sounded as the rubber was In the air, and under the rules the goal could not count The two sevens battled on even terms through the two extra periods, and It was not until after five and a half minutes of play In the "sudden death" period that Roach decided the Issue with his smash, part Le Croix.

18. An explanation of the new stand on sport taken by Harvard, Yala and Princeton as the result of ths conference among Dean Le Baron Brlggs, Prof. Corwln and Dean McClennahan here last Saturday Is made by Dean Brlggs In a statement In the Yale Neva to-day. He declares that sport at the three colleges will be continued on an Informal basis, with tho exception of schedules. He adds that the term "Informal" has been misinterpreted.

The dean's statement follows "There was general agreement In our conference as to ths wisdom of our procedure with regard to athletics last fall, for we were all gladgthat the football Interests were put aside and that the big games were omitted. If formal collegiate sports aro resumed they will be held on as Inexpensive a basis as possible. They wsTll not bo scheduled for big gala days and will not be a publicly ndvcrtVed as before, game? being arranged with a view to satisfying a healthful love of sport rather than for purely spectacular or financial ends. "The mllltnry organizations of tho separate colleges nnd universities are now on a firm basis. By reestablishing formal athletics I think that we can relieve the unnatural strain on the men and generally tone up the college spirit.

It Is, however, most Important to keep tho athletlo Interests from Interfering with the military duties or Interests, and wo must further see to it that the public does not misinterpret our action and continue to regard the games as the big events of the college year. "The newspapers havo derided the terrn 'Informal' entirely too much, having quite missed Its significance. By reestablishing formal athletics we do not In any way mean to feature athletic contests, nor do we proposo to make athletics any less Informal as regards their relation to military work. They will be more formal merely In the matter of the resumption of modified schedules with our old competitors. The change, I nm sure, will show good results both In the I military and athletic Interests.

"Tho decision whether men not In the military organizations of their univer sities snau or t-naii not no auto to play on the athletic teams of the coming season wtas left entirely the authorities at each college, but I see no reason why the able bodied man whom we pick to represent us In vigorous outdoor lift should not be In the existing military units. In fact. I think la unfair to Yalo to allow hor opponents to uao men not In the military organizations, and consequently we did not allow one member of the freshman hockey team to play against Yale In Saturday'. game, nor will we allow such men to pla.y on Harvard teams." BARNES QUITS WHITEMARSH. Colt Professional Lured to Colorado by Blaster Offer.

Special Detpatch to Tbs Scn. PHH-AOEiPHtA, Feb. 18. Jim Barnes, Western open golf chanwlon, who has been professional at tho Whltemarsh Valley Country Club for the last four years has necit lured away by the new Broadmoor Oiolf Club of Colorado Springs, Col. It was rumored last week that Barnes, who is now playing In tho Sauth.

Berry, president of the club, received hlH Hrst intimation of Barnes's decision when he was almost flooded by applications asking for the Job of club professional. Ho tried to get In touch with Barnes, and finally did through Thomas II. Hallton, chairman of the greens committee, who Is alio In trie South.

Hallton had a talk with Barnes, who told him he had an offer from the Broadmoor club at twice the salary he was getting at Whltemarsh, and thought ho would accept unless Whltemarsh wanted to make a similar offer. At Barnes rcoeived between seven nnd eight thousand dollars last jear Berry thinks the WhltemarMi club can go no further in the matter. FRATERNITY GAMES AT N. Y. U.

HIGH LIGHTS AND SHADOWS IN ALL SPHERES OF SPORT Mr DANIEL. DANIEL TIPPLE and Clifford Markle, two of the greatest pitching disappointments In the disappointing pitching history of tho New York American League club, yesterday were released outright to the St Paul team of the American Association. Tipple was one of those 11.000 beauties who blossomed like an orchid In the minor leagues but when transplanted to the harsher soil of the majors took on the general appearance of a citrus bud. Tipple was purchased from the Indianapolis club of the American Association three years ago after he had won eleven game In a row. No sooner had tho New York club taken title to the pitcher, who was permitted to finish tho season with the Hooalers, than he suffered a blight and lost eight In succession.

Tipple had the distinction of being the highest priced minor league recruit In 1916, when the Yankees went tho limit in outbidding five other clubs. It might be sold that no minor league player has brought as fancy a price since. In some particulars. Tipple's case paralleled that of nube Marquard. Rubo also was purchased from Indianapolis for $11,000, and his first two seasons with the Giants were dismal affairs.

However, In the third year Rube got another chance and mado good, while, Tipple has been shunted back to the minors. It is common knowledge, however, that If waivers could have been procured on Marquard in mi he would have pitched for Newark Instead of helping the Ulanta win the pennant that year. On reporting to New York late In the 1915 season Tipple pitched a two hit game against Cleveland. The next spring, when he was expected to be the brightest luminary among a large assortment of prize rookies. Tipple displayed absolutely no major leaguo ability.

He was farmed out to tho Baltimore club in ,1918. Last season Tlpplo further hurt his chances by being a holdout and refused to report at Macon until a few days beforo tho club broke c.imp. Ie was sent to Toronto and later to Baltimore. As Tlpplo was able to scratch together only eleven games and lost fourteen on teanm which finished first and third, Miller Hugglns Informed Col. Ituppert that ho did not think it worth whilo to take Dan on another training trip.

The Yankees might as well have taken their $11,000 for Tipple and dropped it overboard. Tremeuttous Boom la Teamls at Onr Campi. Take It from athletic experts with, our army men both here and overseas, this war is going to boom sport to a higher level than It would have reached within fifteen normal years. Men whose physlclal activity used to lie entirely in their industrial endeavors have come to know, the joys of the fleld-'-the fun of running. Jumping and playing games in thefopen at our camps, and they will carry back with them to their homes their love for sport.

We are told that at some of the Southern cantonments and camps men who had not. known what the gamo resembled have taken to playing tennis- In making an appeal for funds to provide tennis paraphernalia for our soldiers In this country and overseas Sol Metzger, at the meeting of the Tennis Association last Friday night, declared that ho had heard from seventeen camps, and that at these the men were ready to build no fewer than a total of S29 courts. When the director at one camp was asked what he could do for the game ho replied that he could lay out "only" 400 courts 1 Dr. Itaycroft hastened to reply that about one-fortieth of that would suffice. The big problem now Is the providing of tennis nets, racquets and balls.

Since the sport has come to be recognized as an absolute essential for men In camp It devolves on the Government to provide the athletic equipment, but the War Department Commission on Training Coma Activities seems to have troublo In filling the needs of tho many tonnis and other sorts of paraphernalia. occasion those who havo tho athletic tncy sent them to tho department headed by Dr. Itaycroft. Banks of Amateur Athletes In a Healthy State. We were talking to a veteran follower of sports and he said: "There's ono thing this war will do, and that's athletes.

Tho men who run, jump and throw weights for tho 'expenso money' they can get out of it have been backed off the boards, and I believe they will stay off." In this regard we will say that before the war that our entry in the conflict found our body athletic about 99 per cent. pure. Disregarding the merits of tho cose, wo think that tho disqualification ot Abel Klvlat was the greatest single factor in tho cleanup. When Jole Ray came here from Association games recently he had to disburse of his own funds in addition to the expense money granted him. Imagine a star of Ray's calibre going to such an expenso four or five years ago! Tho game Is clean and It did not take the war to do It, but we must confess that the present situation will do a lot to keep tho ranks in their well nigh immaculate condi tion.

When we come out of this war boon In It, will appreciate moro than money" la prostitution of sport. Pitt Making Another Try for Membership In the I. C. A. A.

A. A. "For four years the University of Pittsburg has been trying to gain ad mission into the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America and it still Is without the gates. Pittsburg will make another attempt at the ny.soclatlon'H annual meeting here on tested against Pittsburg's admission on baseball nnd had Insufficient entrance requirements. I'itt has sent a circular to all the members of the association nn endeavor to show that it has met practically all the requirements for membership.

Tho one year resi dence rule has been In effect for two years and post-grnduate students aro not permitted to play on teams. However, tho Pitt rulo on summer baseball may mnkn trouble. It reads as follows: "Students who play summer baseball prior to Juno 1 fi or after September 15 during any year, or play on teams under government of the National r-asebnll Agreement, shall be debarred from competition In any branch of sport." Many Dubs Confronted with an Organized Holdout MoiemcnL Many major league ball clubs aro confronted with organized holdout movements which iro runtamount to strikes against tho reduction of salaries. The Yankees arc said to have no moro than six all youngstorx, under contract. The Rraves, which have adopted a policy similar to thut of thu Yanks In that they arc not announcing the names of men who sign, aro reported to have only five men under contract and tho Phillies havo Just six.

Connio Mack, of course, hasn't any to send contracts to. We believe that several other clubs, Brooklyn Included, aro affected by tho holdout understanding. We confess wo cannot see where a man like Konetchy, for example, has a right to protest against a cut to $4,800, but some of tho players undoubtedly have real grievances. For the third time Lofty George has come up for air. The veteran pitcher has been signed by Detroit.

Willie Hoppo, world's balkllne Millard monarch, has been challenged by Welker i Cochran, It was learned yesterday, for the championship at 18.2. However, un less Hoppe moderates his conditions for a match there is little chance of aa arrangement In the Immediate future. Having vanquished all opponents 18.3, 18,1 and 14.1, lloppe shows a disposition to give his crown undue pro. tectlon. Although Hoppe got the match In which he won the title by putting up a 8500 side bet, and never was com pelled to post a greater amount, he Insists that Cochran shall wager fiva times the original 1500, which would, mean a side bet of $2,600 for a boy is Just beginning to show form Indloat Ing he has championship class, This proclamation by the Csar of the) billiard world reached this city yester- day from the West, and It was accom panted by tho additional condition that' tho champion would refuse to play In Now York, for tho reason that a match In San Francisco would draw more money.

Hoppo Is In a position to dictate, for the balkllno emblems are his personal property and ho need not play a match with any one unless he chooses. The only way In which he could be forced to' play for the championship would be for the Brunswlck-Balke-Collender pony, donor of the trophies, to establish a tournament and put a new emblem Into competition. As (here are not-enough players of note to warrant v-i tournament there Is no prospect ot such a move being mode. It Is not on record that a champion has demanded a side bet of more than 8500 for a match for the title, and ths action of lloppe Is an Innovation that will not be popular with the other play era. Since lloppe mado the trophies his per sonat property he has been engaged lit touring the country almost constantly! and Is reported to have cleared front $60,000 to $60,000 a year In exhibition work.

This fact has made him quite IndIN fercnt to match play or the defence ot; his title. The prospects of Cochran any other balk liner getting a match with Hoppe are by no means rosy, Robert -Benjamin, Hoppe's manager, sent this word from the West: Ul "Hoppe docs not have to play anybody for nothing; but It Is possible that he may arrange a match to start off his fifth tour next season. Besides the pro ceeds from his annual trips Hoppe haa been offered $30,000 by a moving picture. I concern for certain appearances, which," he is considering. "Tho only title matches which he feela he should bo expected to play are those with legitimate rivals.

He thinks that- all contenders should annually be determined by a tournament of all the tho winner to havo a chance at the world honors. He would bo willing to Play under such conditions and would undertake the responsibility of defend Ing his crown annually." BUTLER VICTOR AT SQUASH. Disposes of Casey In CInsw Tourney la X. Y. A.
