INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE TURNS DOWN HARRISBURG—MURPHY BESTS WELSH
BETTER HOME FOR
IS EDWARD G. BARROW PLAN
Directors Learn That Harrisburg Did Not Come Up to Expec
tations; Hartford to Take Care of Zimmerman's Bunch
The International League held a
three-hour session in New York City
yesterday. The meeting was pre
sided over by Edward G. Barrow.
Information given out after the
session created an impression that no
one talked but Barrow. According to
reports, considerable time was taken
up in explaining to the magnates that.
Harrisburg would not take care of
the Newark orphans next season.
No figures were given out showing
alleged losses during the season. If
a statement was made about Harris
burg's good work, the reporters failed
to hear about it. It is certain, no vote
of thanks was tendered Harrisburg
fans for taking care of the Interna
tional castoffs, and saving the league
additional expense.
It. is the belief that some action
was taken regarding unpaid bills in
Harrisburg. The directors are sche
duled for another session to-day, ac
cording to one dispatch. Another re
port Is that the league adjourned un
til January 17, when the circuit for
next year will be fixed. One dispatch
Bent out from New York follows:
Expect Decision To-day
The International League held its
annual meeting at the McAlpin yes
terday, and when the meeting was
over President Barrow said that the
future home of the Harrisburg Club
would not be decided until to-day.
Mr. Barrow stated that Jack Dunn's
Richmond Club would operate In the
Virginia city another year. Harris
burg has not, come up to the expecta

and a new home must be found for
this club.

willing to give up his claim for Hart

; Jesse Burkett. the former major
league player. Is in financial straits

tee meets hore to-morrow, the gon
' eral impression among baseball men
|is that Worcester will be willing to
j surrender Its territory to the Inter
national League.
Will Wait Results
The International League has de
cided to wait until they are sure
which way the baseball wind blows.
They adjourned to-day until January
17, when the fundamental business
of their league will be discussed, in
other words, the International League
does not want to show its hand at
this time. Tlioso present at the meet
ing were James J. McCaffery,
Toronto: S. E. Liehtenliein, Montreal;
G. A. Simons and P. J. Donovan,
Buffalo, C. T. Chapin, Rochester; J.
J. Lanin, Providence: M. W. Smith,
Jack Dunn and B. W. Wilson, Rich
mond; E. W. Wicks, Jersey City, and
the Harrisburg Club was represented
by President Barrow.
There is a controversy on in the
New England baseball territory, and
Hartford and Springfield oppose the
intrusion of the International League.
The whole situation hangs on the ac
tion of the committee to-morrow, and
if this committee decides that it Is
the best thing for the International
League to take over the Wodcester
territory, instead of the Hartford or
Springfield franchises this action will
be taken.

go.
"Captain Hustin will be in Chicago
on Wednesday, when we will begin
negotiations for players with which
to strengthen our club," continued
Colonel Ruppert. 'No, we won't trndo

one may not regard as beautiful all the 1
manifestations ot tills evolution as seen J
in the oaiirooni dances, or in the work
of certain of tne errotic and sensational
esthetic uanceis, so called, it cannot be !
ucnied that the art Is receiving more |
constructive attention than ever be
fore. There are tew of the artists en- i
gaged in the work of Interpreting this
new or revived spirit who maintain
such high ideals as those of Kuth St.
Uems, tne Oriental Danse Artiste, who |
will appear here at tne Orpheuni to- i
morrow evening. There is no point in I
her wonderful exhibition of dancing in ,
which one feels inclined to say that
this or that is done for sensational ap- ,
peal. Though there may be occasions j
wnere the high lights are dimmed, the I
impression is always manifest that the 1

stage classic The action deals with the
errors and extravagance of the old
father's sons, after he turns his busi

really where Mr. Herbert lands his best

By Associated Press

scenes of excitement yesterday nn
equaled since the overthrow of the
Manchu dynasty in China in 1913 when

China newspaper was posted stating
that Yuan Shi-Kai, president of the
Chinese republic, who has accepted
the throne as emperor, has adopted as
the new imperial flag a red ball
in the multi-colored field of the pres
ent flag of fhe republic. The red ball,
it was said, would be of similar size to

Something About Golf
I Johnny Evers, the peppery little

I the statement that there are only two

tThey are baseball and golf. Of course,
!it would have been sensational If
j Johnny had said football and golf, or
! tennis and golf or in fact, anything
other than baseball and golf.
Johnny says he is not alone in this
belief, as fully 20 per cent, of the
major league ball players turn to golf
for diversion. Baseball, says Johnny,
is sport for the tans, and work for the
players, but golf is real sport for the
players.
FREDDIE WELSH
IS GIVEN SHAKEUP
"Jimmy" Murphy, Philadelphia
Boy, Hands Surprise to Light
weight Champion
Special to The Telegraph
Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 14.—Freddie
Welsh made his first appearance in
this city since he won the lightweight j
championship of the world, and was I
beaten in six slashing rounds last I
night at the Olympia A. A. by Jimmie '
Murphy, of this city. Murphy fought
like a wildcat from the first round
until the finish and had the champion
on the defense most of the time.
Murphy simply tore into Welsh at
every moment, whipping stinging'
short hookß and long sharp left jabs |
that stopped the Britisher several
times as he attempted to rush in
close.
Welsh carried the first, round when
he was the aggressor throughout, but
in each of the succeeding rounds, ex
cepting the fourth, which was even,
Murphy had entirely the better of
the milling. In the second round he
cut the titleholder's lower lip with
a stinging left hook, while Welsh
drew a tickle of bload from the West
Philadelphian's nose in the fourth
round when he put all his weight be
hind a right hook.
Welsh, realizing he was fighting a
losing battle, staged a hurricane rally
in the last, round in the hope of even
ing up the battle, but Murphy was
right there with him swapping wal
lops. Jimmy brought the crowd to
its feet when he landed several short
rights and left on the head that shook
the world's champion up and made
him clinch.
