CINCINNATI, January naUonal baseball commission today dismissed the petitions of the basebfill players' frater-ivlt y.

Of the four concessions asked for by the fraternity, the commission held that three of them did not refer In, any way to major leagues and therefore held that they were internal affairs of the National Association and could come before the commission only on appeal.

The supreme court of baseball, in taking this action, says: "Inasmuch as the Commission has never approved a ma.lor league contract empowering a major league club to suspend a player disabled in Us service without pay, ad as the form of contract approved for 1917 requires a club to retain a player injured In its service for the full term, the renuest.

In its finding the commission emarks: "It will be noted that the right of release not be exercised by the club when a player-Is Injured while on duty and he entitled to salary for the fail of hU contract."

Now that Bill Carrigan'a "final answer" has been "finally answered." and Boston fans seem satisfied that he will not lead the Red Sox another year, the "club'g supporters are speculating on hla probable euccessor. Jack Barry, Larry Gardner and Ilienle Wagner, all of the team'a playing ranks, from which Carrl-gan himself came when he succeeded Jake Stahl, are mentioned most prominently for the position, with the former Athletic star having the Inside track. Barry, who haa been captain of the Red Sox for the last year, has been the life of the infield for the last two seasons.

He was one of the biggest factors in pennant winning combination in 1315, but was not able to do much in the big series last year on account of an injury. Barry la etrlctly a pupil of the Mack school, being-taken from the Holy Cross college campus by the Athletic leader in 1308. He was a member of Mack's famous Infield until Connie startled the world by breaking up the combination following hia team's defeat In the world's series of 1314. NOW TOO OLD AND FAT. OWOSSO, January B.

STARTED EARLY AND NOW SPORTS' OF TWO CONTINENTS KNOW HIM Tex, if you speak it real fast, sounds like a chewing gum or something to cure tired, aching and swollen feet, but the Tex here referred to Is that two-legged, two-fisted, red-bloodod hombre known to the sports of as many continents as there are as Tex Rlckard, the dare-devil promoter of pugilistic entertainments. The man who has pulled off three world's championship bouts, and who has lately been basking in the limeliftht by reason of his efforts to lure Georges Car- Eentler to Amerif-a, is forty-six.

He was orn in Kansa City, on the Missouri side, and started life as George L. ltickard. At the age of two he took" hla family to the Texas panhandle, and at five he became a cattle herder. At ten he took part in a big cattle drive from the panhandle to Caldwell, the nearest shipping point. On that trip he didn't see a single white man's habitation, but lots of Injuns.

Tex was a cow.boy until he was twenty-two, when he was elected marshal of his home town, Henrietta, which was a pretty lively burg in those days, although now safe as a church. In 'Sa Tex pulled freight for Ala-ska. He dragjrqd a sleuth over 3K) mile of snow to rech Dawson City, the Journey lasting two months. He made several lucky strikes, but lost out by opening a ambling house, and, flat broke, to Nome for a new start. There he started another palace' of chance, and cleaned up I10O.00O a year for four annums.

With a fortune -in hl3 pockets he returned to the States, and in 1904 landed In Goidfleld, where he opened a gambling resort. There he made more money than he knew wnat to do with, and he decided to promote boxing bouts as a means of getting rid of some of tho surplus. The iirst real fight Tex ever saw was between Terry McGovern and Jimmy BrUt. in New York, and from that time he became a red hot fight fan. Tex lost quite a bit of coin in his first venture a a promoter, when ha stased the Gans-N'elson fight at Gold-field in ljea.

but he wwn't cured of the boxing bug. He went ahead and staged a match between Jeffriea and Johnson. His original rlan was to pull off this bout In Salt Lake City, but he was induced to switch to San Francisco. Then u- -vpv )-p i TEX RICICARD. Tex cleared J100.0CO.

After that Rlckard went to South America and invested his pile In a Paraguay cattle ranch. He now owns thousands of acres of grazing country, big herds of cattle and- many fine horses. The lure of the white lights drew him back to New York, however, and in the last year he has bexi playing the role of daredevil promoter which made him famous.

In one game Blackburne fumbled a grounder with a man on third base and failed to throw the ball home.

On the next play Blackburne tried to put out a runner. He held the ball between the base bag and the runner's foot and appealed to umpire Kitty Bransfleld for an out. "Not out," said Bransfleld.

"You are pulling a Kid Gleason by pulling runner's foot off the bag." "That's pretty good." replied Blackburne, "to-be called an Evers and a Gleason in the same Inning." How Matty Delivered.
