that the contest had to be Ston to the white fighter as a technical knockout. Berlenbach has the reputation of being a powerful hitter and lie lived up to his reputation on Friday night. Many who saw the falit were of the opinion that Estrklge used poor judgement when hf derided to shirr with the Astoria, lighter, for he was outweisrhed by twenty pounds and lias never been able to take punishment as oiost of the other colored fighters can. Almost' the first blow landed by the Astoria fighter broke up 'Estridge's defense. Before the first round was over it was apparent that he was a poor match for bis opponent.

Early in, the second right cross to the chin sent him dow for the count of eight. Es tWdge hardly knew what he was doing1 when he caught the ropes fend nulled himself tin. He was fine referee wisely stopped the tvirmer. National Negro Baseball k'. League Is Automatically iv 1 1 1 11 uisnanoeo as roster ies Chicago, 111.

According to Baseball League has disbanded, due to the resignation of Andrew "Rube" Foster, president and czar of the organization. Foster's resignation came as a result of a fight now going on 'between himself and J. Tenny Blount of Detroit, former owner of the Detroit Stars. In a scries of articles by Blount in, a Pittsburgh paper, charges VtrUi 4he effect that since 1919 when the National Negro Baseball League Organized, Foster was'tiVctSfltpltitc' control of the agairs iul bankrupted member clubs to make money for himself. In attrition lo being president and nlanager of the league, he was owner itnd manager of a Chicago baseball team and ran a baseball booking Sgehcy." One of his rules was that all member teams in the league must 'book their games through his agency and that lie would get a corn jmissiou of 10 per cent on the gross receipts for each game played.

According to Mr: Blount, Foster was so greedy for this 10 per cent booking fee that he did not consider the expenses of the member 1 teanw. For instance, it is alleged that he would prefer a team having gate receipts of $6,000 and of $5,000 than gate receipts jpif $3,000 arid expenses of $500. This policy is said to have practically bankrupted four clubs in the, league, and caused Mr. Blount to lose so much money with his team he disbanded it. For doing this, Mr.

Foster is alleged to have threatened to break the owner of the Detroit team. What will become of the ballplayers in he Wesern League is jtrobrcniatical. It is very likely that many of them will cone East md joiH in with teams of the Eastern Colored League. The teams in' Kansas City and St. Louis will probably run as independent during the coining season.
