NEWARK, N. J., Nov. 2’—As a result of a remarkable ef-
fort Platt Adams may have his name inscribed on the noteworthy
performance list created by the Amateur Athletic Union at it
last meeting. The New York Athletic Club leaper did a standing
hop, step and jump which measured 33 feet. It supplants his best
previous mark (also the record) of 32 feet 4% inches, but the
fact that the take-off was from a raised platform may bar the
new record.
Adams performance was made at the games of the Prudential
and Metropolitan Insurance Companies, where Ted Meredith ran
the 50 yards in one minute flat, a second faster than the best
previous record.

JUAREz RESULTS.
The season just closed brought to
the fore a greater number of back.-
I field candidates than any single sea-
son in history’. And at the same time
| it developed fewer good linesmen and
I ends than ever before.
The position of quarterback on our
! first team is given to Barrett the Cor •
' sell wonder, because of his consistent-
# sensational work throughout the
Eenson. Barrett is, above all else, a
brainy player. Secondly he has few I
peers as a runner back of punts. He
is a fine kicker, a wonder on the de-
ever since that evening McCoy has not
shown one capability of a real chain*
pion. He has engaged in five bouts
since he upset Chip, and in four of
these he was returned a badly beaten
loser. If his other scrap, with Willie
Lewis, the old-timer simply fought
himself into exhausts tion in five
rounds. \
83 that eliminates McCoy.
We are chary to accuse George chip
of any shady dealing, but it has been
imparted to the writer that McCoy
’’double-crossed’’ Chip the night the
latter was knocked out.' Chip was to
have let McCoy last several rounds, we
are told, but McCoy forgot the ar-
rangement when he espied an open-
ing. and ripped over a left swing that
sent Chip to snoozeland.
Chip has always given us the 1m-
pression of being a clean-living gen-
tlemanly fellow, and a true sportsman
above all. He never uttered a syllable
after the knockout by McCoy, and we
were led te believe that at last here
was one good loser.
Can it be that the fear of being

the American plan never was more
than 52.50 a day. And that was the
price at the best hotels. Nowadays, it
costs us 51 a day for accommoda-
tions at places in the same class.
"As I have said It costs us shout
$4000 to make a Western swing now.
We make three a year. That makes
the total for Western traveling $12,-
000. It costs us 1050 tn |700 for each
trip that we make to Philadelphia and
about 51000 for each Boston trip
"So when all things are figured it
will be seen that our traveling ex-
penses each year are in the neighbor-
hood of 517.000. And our expenses
and those of the giants are lower than
those of any other teams because
when we play each other we incur no
hotel or traveling expenses.
"I daresay that the annual travel-
ing expenses of the majority of clubs
other than the Giants and Brooklyns
are in. the neighborhood of 521.004.
"We used wooden stands in the old
approval of the fans, as it will be
somewhat different from the past
years.
Galveston was chosen as ths place
for the next meeting of the magnates
to be held Jan. 5. 9 and 14. The
winter meeting is usually held in Feb-
ruary. but it was decided to hold it
this year a month earlier. The perma-
nent schedule of the league will be
adopted, and It is probable that some
changes will be made in the rules
and by-laws of the league at that
time.
Harmony and good feeling marked
the entire meeting yesterday and the
league president immediately upon
convening got to work and soon had
the entire business which was to come
before them disposed of. By 5 o'clock
the meeting had adjourned and all
were ready to return to their homes.
Morris Block immediately left for Ran
Antonio, and the other baseball men
left on the night train.
Those who were present at the
meeting were: President Davidon of

Weyand of the Army has been a
tower of strength all year for his team
atfthe tackle position. So has Parson
of Harvard and Patterson of W. & J.
These three stand out almost alone for
the job as the other tackle. Weyand's
work, all things considered, has been
slightly better than that of the two
others, and the honor is his.

doesn’t like to talk about—-or even
think about—the salary list that he
hooked himself to in an effort to stop
his players from hurdling to the Feds.
However, it has been learned from
other sources that in these days of
high salaries the average salary for
twenty-five players, a managar, an
assistant manager and two trainers is
around 52000 That would bring the
total annual salary outlay for a major
league club to about $85,000. This
bears out Ebbetts’ statement aa to the
near tripling of the salary figures.
"In the olden days we used to make
a complete swing of the Western cir-
cuit at a cost of around 51200 or
51400. That same swing costs us
11000 today.

fied titleholders, preferring tempting
bait to induce them to show their
wanes before metropolitan and cos-
mopolitan gatherings.
To date Johnston has had one au-
thorised world’s champion, and one
unauthorised world’s champion, per-
form for the edification of his pa-
trons. Freddie Welsh, the undisputed
lightweight championeshowed in his
bout with Ad. Wolgast that he is a
fighter as well as a boxer; while Mtke
Gibbons, whose pretentions to the
middleweight crown are as well
founded as those of any other claim-
salt, once again showed his mastery
over a contender.
These two may appear again in a
local ring shortly, one to defend his
championship, the other to establish
his right to the premiership in his
class.
Negotiations are pending for
matches between Welsh and Packey
McFarland and Gibbons and Jimmy
Clabby. Unless things go awry, the
two bouts will be contested in the Gar-
den arena within the next two months
The Welsh-McFarland ttlt is likely to
be staged prior to the Clabby-Gibbons
clash.
McFarland and Welsh have met
three times previously, with the out-
come favoring Packey in two mills,
and this fourth meeting should settle
for all time the supremacy between
the two. •
Though the champion. Welsh has
male no unreasonable demands of
McFarland, in the matter of weight.
Freddie at first held out for 155
pounds at 3 o’clock, while McFarland
insisted on 116 pounds at 6 o’clock.
When Welsh saw that Packey was se-
rious, and really meant business, the
Briton instructed his manager to close
the match at Packey’s terms.
This will in reality be a 'comeback**
test for McFarland, although he has
never been away so that one could no-

Charles Hercules Ebbetts, the well

who once asserted that "baseball still
is in its infancy.” wishes it to- be
known that what he said then applies
merely to the playing and not in any-
way to the financial end.
“No, sir-ree, not the financial end.”
said C. Hercules. "The financial end
of baseball has outgrown its swad-
dling clothes all right.
"The cost of baseballing from the
owners* standpoint today is from
three to sx times as great as it was
