OAKLAND SHAKE-UP
MAY OUST DEVLIN
Pitcher Christian to Take Up
Management of Tail-End
Team, Is Report.
OWNERS SAID TO SEE NEED
Former JIajor, Xow at Head, Goes
East on "Business Call" Xevr
Manager-to-Be Is Popular
With Fans and Men.
SAN FRANCISCO. Juno 6. (Special.)
A shakeup of the Oakland baseball
team, tailend organlaztion In the Pa
cine Coast League, is announced on
what is considered absolutely reliable
information, and it is expected that the
programme changes, which include
shifting of managers, will tal?e place
within a few days.
Ttie plan Is for Tyler Christian, for
the past set-en years connected with
Oakland as a member of the pitching
staff, to succeed Arthur Devlin as team
manager. It Is within the possibilities
that the official announcement of the
change will not go so far as to declare
Christian has superseded Devlin, but
it is generally understood by those
who are close to the situation that
is practically what the deal will
amount to.
One story has it that Devlin is called
East because of his business affairs
and that during his absence Christian
will manage the club. This can mean
nothing less, however, than that Frank
J. Leavitt and John P. Cook, owners of
the club, have decided that some sort
of a change is necessary, which can be
their only excuse for trading horses in
the middle of the stream.
Devlin Joined the Oaks last Fall
having been purchased outright from
the Boston Nationals.
Devlin, however, has not succeeded In
turning out a winner' and, with his
team trailing at the bottom of the
oack. there has been considerable dis
satisfaction. One storyVwas published
to the effect that there -s a world of
dissension In the persona - of the team
and that certain of the pVyers, at outs
with Devlin, were not giving their best
service. Although that was denied.
apparently there has beeen something
fundamentally wrong, because as indl
viduals the Oakland players look prom
tsing and ought to make a better show
lng.
The manager-to-be came to Oakland
from Galveston, Tex., and is popular
with the ball players and the public as
well.
KILLILAY MAY LOSE JOB, TOO
Oakland Heads Dissatisfied With
"Handsome Jack's" Showing.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 6. (Special.)
Rumor has it that the Oakland base
ball club is dickering with outside
teams with a view to disposing of
"Handsome Jack" Killllay, who was
the leading pitcher in 1812, the year
the Oaks won the pennant in the last
game over Venice.
Killilay didn't go well in 1913 and so
far this season he has been decidedly
unreliable. It is known the owners are
far from satisfied with the way Kill!
lay shapes up and if they can make the
right sort of a trade will be in favor
of the change.
Killllay showed up In great pre
season form, but has been making the
alibi recently that the team has not
been hitting behind him. His relaase
or disposal is one of a number of Oak
land changes contemplated.
WORLD RECORDS LISTED
1XTERXATIONAL AMATEUR FEDER
ATION MAY ADOPT STANDARD,
All Nations "Will Ue Classification
Now Betas Made I'm it Commit
tee Work Is Accepted.
LYONS, France, June 6. For the
first time In the history of athletics
an official list of world's records to
be recognized by all nations was drawn
up today by the records committee of
the International Amateur Athletic
Federation, meeting here. It is expect
ed that the list will be adopted by the
federation early next week.
It is possible, however, that oppo
sition may arise in the case of the dis
cus, in which the committee, having
abolished the 8 foot 2V inch circle
from the rules, has been unable to
recognize any record except that of
the American. James Duncan, made at
Celtic Park in 1912 145 feet 9 Inches.
One of the features of the sitting
was the elimination of innumerable
records for special distances and also
of all records except those made on a
track. The record for 400 yards
straightaway of 42 1-5 seconds, made
by M. W. Long at Guttenberg in 1900,
has therefore been discarded.
The committee decided to eliminate
all records above 25 miles or 40 kilo
meters, and also all records above two
hours, on the ground that contests at
greater distances would be exhausting
and should not be encouraged.
, The only records that will be recog
nized in the future by the International
Athletic Federation if the report of the
committee Is adopted are the follow
ing: One hundred yards, held by Kelly;
220 yards, Wefers, Craig, Kelly and
Llppincott; 440, Long; 600, Sheppard;
880. Meredith; 1000 Sheppard; 1320.
Conneff; 1 mile. Jones, all American
records, and 300 yards, held by W.
Halswell, of England.
Two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine and ten miles, all held by
Shrubb. England; 15 miles. Appleby,
England; 20 miles. O. Crossland. Eng
land: 25 miles, H. Green, England.
One hour, Jean Bouln, France; two
hours, H. Green, England.
One hundred and twenty yard hur
dles 3Va feet), and 220-yard hurdles
(2',4 feet), held by Americans; 440 hur
dles (3 feet), G. R. L. Anderson, Eng
land. Standing and running high jump and
standing broad jump, held by Ameri
cans: running broad Jump, held by P.
O'Connor, Ireland.
Walking, one mile, held by George
Gouldlng, Canada; two, three, four,
five, six seven, eight, nine and ten
miles, all held by G. E. Larner. Eng
land; 15, 20 and 25 miles, held re
spectively by H. V. Ross, T. Griffiths
and S. C. A. Schorield. all oi England;
one hour, held by Larner; two hours,
Ross, England.
Relay races, four runners, 880 yards.
not indicated, as no track record ex
ists; one mile, two miles and four
miles (where all the competitors ran
the same distance), held by Americans;
hop, step and Jump, 16-pound hammer
throw, 16-pound shot. 56-pound weight,
discus (7-foot circle), all held by Amer
icans.
Throwing the Javelin, held by Lent
ming, Sweden.
No records made since the beginning
of 1914 have been considered by the
committee. Thus, among American per
formers, the recent record made by
Howard Drew at San Francisco in the
100 yards and that made by E. J. Bee
son in the high jump will-be included
In the list next year if upheld by tbe
federation. The list will be revised
once yearly.
A similar list also has been compiled
of records in the metric system. They
Include the- 100. 200. 300. 400. 500. 600,
1000, 1500, 3000, 5000 and 10.000 metres
nat races; no, too and 400 metres Hur
dles, with respectively the same height
of hurdles as the - Anglo-American
games.
The committee expressed the opinion
that within five years there would be
only one single list of records, as tbey
believe that the metric system will by
that time have been adopted exclusive
ly for'athletics throughout the world

gas will be made for the use of the 11
balloons that enter the National elimi
nation race, which starts here on July

gambling to the very end. Thus far

taint and we are determined that it
shall remain so.
"The professional gamblers, now that
horse racing is no longer permitted
here, are planning to transfer their op
erations to the National sport, base
ball, but they'll not be allowed to do
so if money can prevent We shall

RYE. N. T., June 6. The yacht Van
itie turned the tables on the Resolute
in the fourth Long Island Sound race,
sailed today under the auspices of tbe
Larchmont Yacht Club over a triangu
lar course, winning by live minutes 62
seconds in elapsed time.
As the Vanitle gives the Resolute an
estimated allowance ovr the 29 4 -mile
course of three minutes and 12 sec
onds, the margin was believed to have
been two minutes and 40 seconds. Al
though sailed in light to moderate
airs, which were somewhat uncertain
at times, the race was a fairer test
than the contest on Tuesday, whlcli
was regarded as more or less of u
fluke and which the Vanitle won by 16
minutes and 48 seconds.
Except for the first two miles tho
race today was more a procession than
when the Resolute led the Vanitle on
the second race on Wednesday, which
the Bristol boat won by 11 seconds.
The yachts will be overhauled dur

for the tnree open-sea contests next
