The smallest of all heavyweight stars, through his manager,
Eddie Reddy, explained it in a, communication thus
"Billy wants to be in a position of logical heavyweight chal

MEW YORK, April (I. N. S.)
v Magnates of the new International
league met here today at the B lit more
hotel. The meeting was accredited as a
schedule meeting, but well Informed
baseball men Intimated that the disposal
of several franchises would occupy much
attention.
Announcement of the eight cities in
the reorganised circuit some days ago,
it Is said, had to do only with territory,
and there! are at least two franchises to
be floated. Syracuse will not enter the
league, according to reports.
New York, April 12. (L N. S.)
Fresh from balmy Dixieland, the Yan
kees and Dodgers arrived in the city to
day, ready to show their wares, to New
York fans in the first game of a series
at Ebbetts' field. The teams were
greeted by a driving snowstorm which
had started in the night, and the
chances for a game looked slim.
The bantamweights, not excepting
Champion Pete Herman, have a de
cidedly formidable foe in their midst.
The foe in question Is one Earl Pur
year, who makes Denver his home, but
JOt now is fighting In the middle west.
Puryear has been doing considerable
fighting and already has a good record.
He got 'a newspaper decision not long
age over Champion Herman in Tulsa,
Qkla., -but .of , course the title, was not
at stake. He knocked nut Jimmy
Astne, himself a great prospect, and
gave Georgie Thompson, the San Fran-
Cisco flash, a beating.
Can Stand the Gaff
In his recent battles around Chicago
Puryear has shown all the earmarks of
a real battler. He Is cool, shifty and
clever. He hits hard and can take pun
ishment if he has to.
While on the Question of bantam

name for himself on his home lot bobs

the Angels by winning Thursday, 7
to 5. Doc Crandall, who pitched a one
hit game for the Angels last Sunday
morning, was in the box for the locals

ception.
. Crandall was mauled for four hits and
five runs in the first Inning after which
he settled down and pitched good ball.
Wisteralll's homer in the eighth was a
feature of the game. A was a long fly
down the left field base line which
bounded into the bleachers and counted
for a home run.
Wheerer's Dell, the new Vernon

only one and a part of another Inning,
Reiger relieving him. the second inning
after the Angels had put over one run
and the bases were filled. Reiger

Everybody has;
heard of Mack, for
the winner of five
pennants and three
world's champion
ships for the Phila
delphia Americans
is one of the out
standing figures in
Connie Mack. modern baseball.
Mack ls4ust as kindly as he Is long
and lean. He Impresses those he meets
because of his reserved nature, and he
looks like a walking -encyclopedia of
baseball wisdom. Mack Is a student of
human nature as well as a student of
baseball. Nothing "escapes his keen gray
eyes, that peer out from-beneath bushy
brows, for be Is also a keen observer.
Breaks TJp Champions
Baseball critics long ago agreed that
Connie or Cornelius McGlllicuddy, to
be correct deserved ranking as one
of the greatest baseball managers In
history' As such he wjll go down In
baseball annals, for his page in the
took of fame has already been written.
The breaking up of his famous Cham
pion Athletics- is perhaps the most
startling feature of Mack's career. The
fact that he built a world's champion
ship club on practically a shoestring is
all to his credit. But when he broke.lt
up he surprised the baseball world. It
was a whim of Mack's forceful charac
ter, and the passing of the last mem
bers of his once great team during the
recent winter was additional evidence
of the confidence he has In his own
ability and the business sagacity he
uses in conducting a ball club. Mack's
moves In the player market may prove
out as worthy ones. At worst be in
curred unfavorable comment that will
die out In time. And he padded the
bank roll of the Athletics admirably.
Mack broke Into the game as a catch
er with Meriden and Hartford, and soon
went to Washington. Later he played
with Buffalo, and In 1891 he went to
Pittsburg as catcher and manager of
1897 he became owner and manager of
the Milwaukee club, and in 1901, at the
birth of the American league, he trans
ferred his franchise to Philadelphia,
where he has been ever since.
Few managers or owners have been as
successful as Mack. Few are as clever
In handling a ball club. In short. Mack
has forgotten more baseball than many
men In the business ever learn.
THE Tri -Copper Baseball league has
eeived from Herb Hester, manager of
the Great Falls team, winner of the
Northwestern league pennant last year.
Hester announced his willingness to
accept a managership of some -team In
the Columbia-Willamette Shipbuilders'
Baseball league, but at present all po
sitions are filled. It is said, too, that
Hester Is a destructive element In base
ball, and was not wanted by the Paclflo
International owners again.
President Fred Bay announced the
following assignments for the umpires
for Sunday : Drennen at St. Helens,
Rankin at Vaughn Street. Kennedy at
St. Johns and Tom Jackson at Vancouver.
In order to create more enthusiasm
among the employes of the shipyards,
tickets for the game will be placed on
sale at the various yards. This plan
will be started Saturday, but next week
tickets will be placed on sale early In
