N. J., Mar. 5.—New- lrk's hope of h ving a locally own- ed baseball club n the International League has little strength to-day President John Conway Tools is ar- ranging to have a vote taken In a day or two to determine upon res- cinding the passing of th club from William Ashton and Bernard Moan to Michael Mchghe and his asso- ciates. Unless new purchasers can be found at once it is understoodsihat the team and its chattels will have to pass back to the former owners until such time as new buyers can be found. If it is at all possible. there will he a league meeting call- ed to act upon the situation that has been developed because of the yr-portod failure yesterday of the McTigho syndicate to put up any real money for the team and fran- chise offer numerous delays and statements concerning the purchase of ground for the erection of a stad- ium. It is understood that there is not a. chance of the league owners agreeing to allow the Mc’l‘ighe group to have the team unless there is a new plant in sight. That seems to be an impossibility at the present. The failure of the McTigheitee to Complete the transaction will -nean the passing of [luck llcrzog as man- agrr of the team. The former mn- ior leauurvr was engaged by the fad- ing syndicate soon after its incep- tion. and has «lone quite some pre- im permanently. Newarkers are greatly interested in baseball and under the conditions would support team in a manner that would guarantee a big return for the owners. They have been fed up on such bad baseball since federal league days that they would dash to a decent ball park to see a good Newark team play in great numbers so hungry are they for good baseball The wonder is that :the league has not found the right person to take the club since Commissioner Landis decreed that the should go. There are several sites available for a ball park but it must be ad- mft'ted that the draft situation det- ers many with real baseball busi- class A. A. old be amortized by yearly payments of 87.600. Neitherthe $60,000 has been post- ed nor has there been little done as to getting a new site for a stadium any more than talking about it. The result is that with only a few weeks to go before the opening of the international league season New ark is worse off than ever regarding its spring baseball. Bernard Moan was yesterday and checked out of his 110- tel when he was satisfied. it is said that McTighe either could not or would not make good the terms un- which the club was to pus t in Newark proper a good ownership more . ‘ w ‘ . megs alanine WW " ‘ .

He ranked, and still ranks. as one of the greatest, sprinters of the cinder path. Ills name was blazt‘rncd across the sport pages repeatedly. Three time he won the national championship in the 100-yard dash. He acquired a half interest in the world's record of 9 4-5 seconds. Then, not satisfied with what fame had given him. \Vefcrs sought more thrills on the baseball diamond. He joined the St. Louis Cardinals as an outfielder. lie soon gave up the game. however. Now his son—a chip off the old block. is following another step or two in his father's footsteps. ' Young Y'Mers is an unofficial member of the New York Giants and will be given a thorough tryout in the infield. 'That he will land a regu- lar big league berth this year is im- probable. of course, but Bernie at least bellvcs he has a baseball fu- ture. Bernie Jr. already has emulated his father to some extent. Coached from childhood, \chcrs. prior to and in his college years. developed into a remarkable sprinter. He shares the American record for 2’20 yards. He remained in track competition after leaving Fordham college and has run under the colors of the New York Athletic club, of which his dad is coach, with considerable success. winning several titles of more or less importance. Baseball seems to have replaced track athletics in his affections, however. He showed considerable promise with a semi-pro team in New York last season an this fired him with a new ambition. ence the arrangements for a tryout with the Giants. The effort of the son of this fa- mous star to carry the family name to the heights in athletics again re- calls to mind the fact that the sons of two famous baseball luminaries—— Ed “’alsh and Billy Sullivan hope to win fame on the college diamond within the next year or so. ' \Valsh's boy. also named Ed. hopes to emulate his father's greatdeeds on the mound. and Billy Sullivan. jr.. hopes to become another star catcher. It is more than a casual. coincidence that as the fathers were battery-mates. so will the sons be also as both will be members of the Notre Dame college team in 1925. Young Walsh is now completing his preparatory course at St. John's, Danvers, Mass. and wil enter Notre Dame next fall. Sullivan, jr., will enter the college from the Pacific school. He is now called one of the best high school catching prospects a n h ‘ on e coast.

Marquard started hi3 first big league game for the Gian gga‘ inst the Cincinnati Reds. As ‘ube re- calls'it, the Reds knocked \him all over the lot—and out of the box in the second inning. Rube bade the mound mead fare- well with three men on bases. Dur- ham drew the relief assignment. He walked calmly to the box and pro- ceeded to fan the next three batters. “Durham's chest stuck out like a pouter pigeon's.” said Rube. " ‘Nobody paid $11,000 bucks for me but I didn't do badly: Durham cracked as he sat down near me. “The next inningithe Beds got something like seven runs of! bro- ther Durham. When he came back to the bench I got in a little jibe myself. “ ‘That's ”hard luck. Bull.

He's made his pile in the movie game on the coast. He lasted only a while in the big show and then quit the game," said Rube. International Olympic officials are brewing a peck of trouble for themselves by their attitude on the matter of permitting German athlet— es to participate in the ‘games this year. Of course the opposition in the matter of accepting Germany's entries starts in .France. This was to be expected in view of fiance's hel- llgerent and arrogant treatment of all German questions. However. the neutral nations of Europe. which can view the entire situation in a fair and impartial light. are bitter toward France and that country's position. One Swedish-paper. for stance. has asked all neutral hand; to boycott the games unless Ger- many is permitted to compete. Aus- j tria it is pointed out has been al- lowed to enter its athletes in the game. Then why not Germany?
