While, thera Is eomo chance that tho rhs.mpIonshIp.si will be played nt Point Judith next August and that the Inter-circu- it cups will ho contested for, tho oT.eers of the association were not In- - 'Ined to make too strong a promlfe. They declared that they worn hopeful nsd that they waited on tho various lain to make known their plans before the national association took any action. tn accordance with this policy no definite dates were announced. Henry 1,. Jlerhert. who once more was elected chairman of the association, and William A HJzard, who again tins honored with the secretaryship, declared that the echedule maltlns had been put over for several month and that another Ren-rr- meeting would bo held for that pur-ros- e In tho meantime the varlouH clubs hoMtnsr membership In the association will make up a census of the players who are likely to bo available for polo runt summer and advise the associat- ion of their plans and desires. While the officers and delegates did lothlnc about a programme for the j ear they were not averse to talking international polo. Mr. Herbert declared that a challenge would bo sent for the International cup just as soon as the Hurlthpham Club showed that It was In position to receive such a call to play. Vila may come as early aa 1320, for tV Ranclagh, Roehampton and other l.'r polo oluhs In England already have fira-v- up schedule for this year and to swtmr Into greater polo ac-- t vlty than ever before.

Dudley I. llogers, 'A. Plunket Stewart and Harry Puyne Whitney. Owing to the lack of play iat summer there were no handicap changes. Mr. Herbert told the delegates of tho splendid service the members of the association had done for the nation. Of the 1,140 members listed by the asso- ciation 1,005 went Into tho army, mak- ing a turnout of 7tf per cent. No other port can even approach that showing, ''ommisslons were won by 643 members.

Sport In all Its pre-w- significance will bo featured at Harvard from now on. An Immedlato resumption of n'l branches of athletic activities haB boen decided upon by the collego authorities. The Harvard athletic committee at Its first meeting of tho year yesterday, was quick to decide to get back on a rre-w- basis In sport, but tho nrrangmnents and preparations toward such end woro gone Into c ex- haustively that It was not until the o sma' hours of the morning that the meet ing ndjourr.ed and the results were made known to the newspapermen.

DATE FOR HEARING IN CHASE CASE SET Captain of Reds, Accused of Rotting Against Own Team, to Uo Tried on Jan. !10. II y t'llUIlKltlCIC tl. IilKn. Harold Chase, captain and crack first baseman of tho Cincinnati Jteds, will como to trial on January SO. John Heydler, president of the National league, yesterday announced that the Chase hearing will bo held on that aate. It originally was intended by Hevdl er to hold the hearing but It was postponed on tho request of Chase ii attorney. Tho case has been dragging since last August, when Christy Mathewson, man- ager of tho Heds, suspended Chase In- definitely and made gravo charges against tho famous first baseman. The Chase case came up shortly after John K. Tener resigned the National League presidency. As Heydler then wan only acting president and secretary, he did not feel that he had tho authority to try a case of so grave a nature. The case may yet overshadow the famous cases of Craver, Hall, Devlin and Nichols, the Louisville players ejected from the National League In 1S77. Oddly enough the Louisville club nt that time waa owned by a man named Chase. Accusations Are (Irarr. While tho league still takes a secretive attitude on tho Chase case, It la known the former Yankee malinger Is ac- cused of betting against his team, the Cincinnati Jteds, and also Is Accused of attempting to approach a Giant player. All this Is supposed to have happened et the last series the Iteds played on the Polo Grounds last August. It was at this scries that Mathewson suspended Chaso Indefinitely, and Inti- mated the charges against Hal were of such a grave naturo that Chase probably never again would play league ball. John McOraw, manager of the Olants, and Poll Perritt, the long pitcher of the Giants, aro considered as the leading witnesses against Chase. Doth have been requested by Heydler to attend the Chase hearing. Men who know the of the Chase case llnd It hard to believo that McOraw la anxious to ob- tain Chase for the Giants In vlow of the fact that McOraw Is considered one of the most damaging witnesses against Chase. Clinao Buret He Will fir Acquitted. In fact It was the things that w told Mathewson that led to Chase's suspension. Captain Mathewson still Is overseas and of course will be unable to attend the hearing. Hejdler aald that Chaeo will be given every opportunity to defend himself of the charges made against him. Chaso will havo tho privilege of counsel at tho hearin?. Tho Cincinnati 'first baseman has been In town all winter. Ho says he will have no difficulty In proving his inno- cence. Ho says If he could havo Ave minutes alonn with John Heydler he could convince him that the charges ngatnet him have no foundation. Chase still has a suit pending against the Cincinnati club for tho salary he lost by teason of his suspension. He also claims that salary due him at tho time of his suspension never was paid. I.rwla Glad to lie a Yankee?, Miller Hugglns, Yankee manager, yes- terday received a letter from Duffy Lewis, saying he had received word of his transfer to tho Yankees and that ho is glad of the ofiportunlty to play in New York. write ho Is rvady to talk business with the New York club and makes no reference to a bonus. Cal- ifornia reports had him demandinr n part of tho purchase money received by Hoston when the big deal Involving Lewis was made. Hugglns says ho does not believo that Frank llaker signed up with the Up- land team, as has been reported. \Frank Baker's dealings with this club have always been ery honorable and he never hai been known to break his word In baseball,\ said Hugglns. \When 1 left Ilaker In Italtlmore last week he promised me he would write to me he mado any further plans for next summer. As Ilaker has not writ- ten to me, I cannot believe thnt he has broken his word to mo until I actually hear from him that he has signed with Upland.\ Dure Fults Purprlacri. Dave Fultz. president of the Interna- tional League, said yesterday ho could not understand why the blc league nresi- - dents object to signing a tentative agree ment with the minors. There was nothing In the agreement that they did not promlso us verbally,\ said Fultz. \Herrmann looked It over on Saturday and wrote on the margin This look all right. A. H.' Wo naturally took this for the commission! O, IC. and were thereforo greatly surprlted when John- son and Heydler declined to sign It. \Howpvrr wo have thulr promlso and will go along peacefully about our busi- ness and hopo to have harmonious tela-Ho- with tho majors.\ Tho Olants havo turned back Jlish Compton, outfielder, and Jay Klrke. llret baseman, to the Louisville club of the American Association.

HIGH LIGHTS AND SHADOWS IN ALL SPHERES OF SPORT 11 Y nANIKI.. very rarely aro wo attracted by moro arithmetic, but wo must ONLY thnt tho financial statement of tho Leonard-Dunde- o bout, as published yesterday, had a particular fascination for us. Tho fascination of the figures developed In us doubt as to whether thousands of our American parents wero not misdirecting tho efforts of their offspring making of them plumbers, clergymen, doctors and nowspuper writers When such splendid opportunities presented themselves In boxlnt. Here we have Leonard getting 1 8,670 for tosslni? n pair of gloves In a various and devious manner at Dundee, wlio In turn received $6,080 for consenting to act aa tho morn or less active receiver of theso complex tosses. Tho poor promoter profited only to tho extent of 5,000. In ail, tho thirteen thousand onlookers contributed 25,0S9 for watching twenty-fou- r minutes of moro or less earnest nnd expert endeavor. Leonard, ns tho champion, merited nonio unusual financial considera- tion. His services were worth nbout $1,000. Dundeo waa overpaid about ono hundred times. Tho bout and Its consequent financial statement mako us believo that one of the ovlls of boxlnp; Is the overpayment of tho boxers nnd the big admission fees mado lmperatlvo by this overpayment. There is no reason In tho world why the best fight in tho world between tho best fighters should not bo seon for not moro than threo dollars. Wo love boxing, nnd we llko to seo good boxers In action, but we do think that figures such as thoso given out In Nowark exaggerate tho Importance of fistic ability as a commorclal asset nnd fistic performers as commercial figures, and perhaps cmphasir.o tho low visibility of thoso who pay fives nnd tens. Comlnjr down to a really serious consideration of this question of money, aro tho boxers worth anything like what they are getting In the big: bouts? It will be argued that It takes yearn of striving to gain a place such as Leonard has attained, nnd that It taken unusual expertness, which usually Is Inbred In a man, thus making him sul generis. Grunted, but why should a loxer get nearly $9,000 for performing for twenty-fou- r mlnutea when a Collins gets only $10,000 for a spawn's basebalt work, a Cobb gets $20,000 and a Johnson $12,000? To our way of thinking thero Is greater merit In tho work of a Collins or a Cobb than In that of a Leonard or n Dempsey. Yet It Is nrgued that baseball salaries have developed far beyond the limit of reason. The limit Is prescribed b,y tho financial pressure a sport can bear. The laseball club owners say their limit has been exceoded. Tho obvious deduc- tion Is that baseball lias been underdeveloped and boxing overdeveloped, nnd that both need revisions to mako them conform to the limit tho public will or Hhould bear. Leonard Pld 'ot Want to Knock Dntiilco Out. To pass from the financial to the tlstlo consideration of the Leonard-Dunde- e affair, wo were no llttlo surprised to note thnt there was a difference of opinion over the result. In our humble estimation Leonard beat Dundeo by a bigger margin that tho head elze of tho Kaiser in 191-4- . In our humble eatlmation Leonard could have knocked out Dundee nt any time nfter the first round. It was an Interesting bout because Dundee persisted in coming in for moro nil tho time and because tho crowd always was on edgo for a knockout-Ki- d Gleoson, the new manager of tho White Sox, sat right behind us nt the ringside. We believe Gleastm Is almost as good a Judge of fighters as he la of ball players. In the second round the Kid Bald with vehemence: \Leonard can knock this man out any time he wants to. Why ho doesn't do It Is beyond me.\ And as tho bout progressed and Leonard persisted In Ignoring his chances to apply the knockout Oleason became moro and more displeased, yet moro and moro admiring of Leonard's rkill and generalship. Admirers of Dundee told us yesterday thnt Dundee's style Is very deceptive, and that he appears wldo open when In reality ho Is ready to hit and move nwny with a coming punch. We know nil about that. We had seen Dundee fight many times before, but he never held his Jaw out the way he did on Monday night against a man with Leonard's punch. Dundeo tried that sort of thing against Jackson and Johnny soon heard tho birds singing. With all of Leonard's cautiousness, which was very much out of placo ngalnst the rival on hand, tho champion had It In his power to end tho scrap at any time. Klther Leonard did not try his best or he i.s a man with a glass right and a likely victim of tho first hard hitter he meets. Wo aro not inclined toward the latter theory, even though Leonard did fall to mako as many right loads as we could count on our ten lingers. Leonard saved that right as If It hod been chock full of nickels. Hut everybody seemed to havo a good time, Newark once moro got into tho headlines and tho world appears satisfied. Hut we do wish champions fought like tho champions of old. Wo carmot Imagine Kid Lnvlgne letting ono glove hang looso llko the pendulum of grandfather's clock when the other fellow's Jnw was as unpro- tected as the side of tho old barn. J)empey Ii Knocking Jack Deirpsey has taken tn the Tlieni on tl.000 to any man who can stay three round' with him. Thin far nobody has lasted more omi round, and most of the nlnliM havo been devoid of Innocent sacrifices, forcing to box an exhibition with ono of his sparring partners. The other night Dempsey Miowed in Trenton. When Dempsey Invited ono of tho spict.iti.rs to tako a chanco at tho $1,000 a big shipbuilder by tho jianio of McGuIre volunteered. McC.ulre towered over Dempsey and was reported to havo qulto a reputation with his tr tts. Dempsey mado two passes at McGuIre. It took Just ono minute, and they carried tho shipbuilder out on a shutter.
