By Allan Markley NEW YORK, April 24. (I. N. S.) The feud between organ ized baseball and the semi-pro diamond is again threatening to develop a "war." The new menace which is exploiting the national sport and not governed by the blue law restrictions of baseball ii the Bethlehem Steel league. It was organized last year as an industrial circuit, but is now offering such alluring propositions to both major and minor league players that it is a formidable rival in the field. Having the personal endorsement 'of ; Charles M. Schwab, if not his millions, behind it, the managers of the different clubs have repeatedly defied organized baseball this spring. rroD&niy me most notable player Baseball Dope PACIFIC COAST LKAQUC Won.

The different club managers have been particularly anxious to sign holdouta of major and minor leaguea. The salaries which they have been offering are equal and, in many cases, higher than those paid by the best of the class A and class AA circuits. Former J. regno Players The appearance of the new league as a bidder for players will make it difficult for the managers for the . new International league to secure men. Already many of the old In ternational league players who were disbanded have been offered bertha. Among aome of the pi ay era who will play in the opening games for .the Bethlehem league.

Boston, April 24. (I. N. S.) Lew Tender, the senaational lightweight of Philadelphia, knocked out Frankle (Young) Britt of New Bedford in the third round of a scheduled 12 round bout here last night. The knockout blow was a mighty wallop which waa m surprise to the fana at the ringside. The 'two battlera had exchanged blowa pretty evenly in the first two frames and Britt ahowed no signs of 'grogginesa when he gave way before the onslaught of fierce rights and lefts from the start of the third round. Cleveland, Ohio, April 24. (U. P.) A new swatting crown the timely hitting championship will be awarded in the American league this year. Two ne)r columns "Runners scored and "Chances offered" have been added to official box scores. In the first column the batter is to be credited with all runs scored as direct result of hU hits, bases on balls, sac rifices, infield outs, and being hit by pitched ball. In the "ohances offered" column, he's to bo charged with the number of men on bases when he comes to bat. Each runner represents a man whom he has an opportunity to put across. San Francisco, Aprir 24. (U. P.) Jim Coffroth, here to promote a benefit boxing Bhow for the Camp Fremont sol diers, was confident that Benny Leon ard would be among those present in the ring for the show. He had a tele gram from Dr. Raycroft, representing the government, which Indicated he would help Leonard get a. furlough for the San Francisco trip.

While enough boys remain in school for teams the larger part of the athletes of previous years are now with the army or navy, and It was thought I impossible to put teams on the field in competition witn outer vaney scnoois. Inter class baseball will be played however, and a schedule leading to class championship will be arranged. Class tennis teams will also be organ ized, and a school tournament will be staged,before the school closes in June. T 'hundred Pomffr . Giant's Bat Scores tight Huns in Two Games of McGrawites' Triumphant Drive. By Jark Yeiock New York, April 24. (I. N. S.) The comeback of Larry Doyle is monopolising baseball conversation here today. Doyle has been a prominent factor In the triumphant drlvo started by the champion Gi ants, who have scored six straight victories in their campaign to an nex another National league pen nant, and it appears that ho has really como back to etar as he did in other years. When John McOraw engineered the deal which sent Herzog and Smith to the Boston Braves for Doyle and Jess Barnes, the move was looked upon as a doubtful one by many followers of the Giants. Doyle, they said, is a player with a broken leg and a dimmed batting eye. Fields Is Rersspy "Way But Doyle has surprised the doubters; Not only has he put up a scrappy fielding game at second base, but his hitting stands out as a feature. In the series between New York and Boston, which closed yester day. Doyle's bat was responsible for putting two out of three games on the tee for the Giants. His stick work was responsible for eight runs in the two games, and the fans are marveling. Brekes Limb Haa Meaded Tis true that Doyle is not as speedy as he used to be, but the broken leg that kept him out of the Chicago lineup for practically a full season has mended completely and his batting eye is still keen. Doyle's popularity In New York should be a big help to him In staging a re markable comeback. Outside of Christy Mathewaon he is perhaps the most popular player who ever donned a Giant uniform.

The letter is as fol lows : Washington. D. C. Apr 15. 1911. Mr. Elbert Bede, Editor the - Cottage Grove Sentinel, Cottage Grove. Or. Dear Mr. Bede: This is to acknowledge the receipt of yours of the 7th instant, and to say that I would be pleased to team just where you saw tho statement that I looked with favor upon the propaganda of the Non-Partisan leaarue. etc.. etc. I have never as yet been invited to ioln the Non-Partisan league, nor have ever been asked to oxpreus any opinion as to its propaganda. In fact, 1 have been so engaged with other matters that I have never found Urns to look into the merits of the controversy, which seems to be raging ove the coming of the league. In view of this I would hardl) be in position to express an intelligent opinion. However, we can hardly question Its right to organize. What concerns us most is its activities and the character of the measures It proposes. If, in the public Interest, and therefore wise, you as a Republican and 1 as a democrat should suDDort such- measures ; if. on the other hand., its proposals are unwise and not In tho public interest we should, oppose them. "I hope to have the opportunity of learning more of ths league and its sctivitles that 1 may correctly judge them. As matters now stand I would hardly vote to hang any of Its Oregon members on the testimony of some of their accusers, whom 1 haucen to know. Hoping that your deep intorool in this Question will not cause you to overlooM the fact that I am a candidate for United States senator on the Democratic ticket. i am. yours very sincerely, OSWALD WEST.
