Manager MeGarrie signified his
intention of using George Smith on
his team and salted if there was any
objections. Manager Taylor object-
ed because Smith outclasses any
player iu the proposed seven teams.
iio capluincd that any team playing
with ueergo Smith would top the
league at the end of the season.
hictiarrle stated that he is opening
a new hall and has to have some
presentable team to enter the league
in order to draw the fans. After
considerable discussion it was de-
cided that any team who wished to
pay for the services of Smith could
have him.
A committee consisting of John
blcUarrle. Donald Taylor and Wil-

up sect of rules and by-laws to be
submitted at the next session of the
league.

league. liial‘ioncy was unable to be
present at last night's meeting. but
it is believed that he will take the
position. \
The question of referees was
brought up. It was suggested that
each manager bring .to the next
meeting a list of eligible players
and referees that they wish to offici-
atc at the games.
Manager Donald Taylor suggested
that the league be divided into two
halves. on the same schedule as the
Nyco Baseball league. The sugges-
tion met with the approval of all
present.
Three handsome silver loving
cups have been’ offered to the
league. The Norwnlk Evening Sen-

CAPTURED BY
THE AMERICAN
NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-(AP). The
American League's entries have been
triumphant in twelve of the twenty-
one world's series conflicts since
1905 but there is plenty of balm for
the National league follower in the
championship record over this per-
iod. . ‘
In games won and lost? the Am-
erican Leagusrs have only a. scant
margin of three while the National
League‘s outfits actually have tallied
more runs.
Brightest of the feathers in the
National League cap. however. are
the achievements in three times
downing the Junior circuit entry
without the loss of s. game. The Chi-
cago Cubs smothered the Detroit 'i‘l-
gers in 1907. the Boston Braves ran
in
1914 and the New York Giants ovcr-
whelmed the Yankees in 1922. Tie

The Pastime Athletic Club will be

are also talking of organising a has-

bers of the club have performed
with various teams. A real live
bunch and they deserve credit.
Manager Ed Herring of the Nor~

much deserved tryout. Manager
Herring has signed Billy to act as a
relief pitcher for the Norwalks dur-

FAMOUS BATTLES
FOR THE ' '

TITLE
By the Associated Press
AA ‘
v
The last battle for the heavy-
weight titlc. between Jack Dempsey
and Luis Firpo at the Polo Grounds
on Sept. 14. 1923. was one of the
shortest and most spectacular on
record.
it lasted for less than' five min-
utes of actual fighting and during.
at least half of that time. one or the
other of the gladiators was down for
a count. Dempsey won by a. knock—
out ln the second round after floor-
ing Flrpo ten times altogether.
Although he battered the “Wild
Bull" of the Pampas all over the
came within two secondslof'lnairig
his title. Firpo caught him on the
jaw with a right-hander up against
the ropes and the champion toppled
out of the ring into the laps of
newspapcrmen. He was shoved
back barely in time to escape hear-
instrument.
About 80,000 people paid nearly
31.200.000 to witness this epic but. a
