I Least, That Is Edict Issued by Ban Johnson Baseball
Czar Says He Will Not Permit Collins
to Write News Articles.
The old question of preventing or try
-in to prevent bnseball playersJrom writ
Inff for newspapers Is again' up before
Er
IP
the moguls of organized baseball, it
-as recently Mated by "Ban" Johnson
that ho would not permit "Eddie" Col
lins to write after lie became ft member
of the White Sox clan. Whether John
son was inspired to this stand by the
recent declaration of the Chicago Til
buiio or whether tho Tribune's announce
uunt was tho result ot a conference with
Johnson Is not known. At any rate, tho
Chicago daily's announcement was cer
tainly an Innovation.
The Trlbuno announced that tho
main reason for Collins leaving the
Athletics was not a matter of money,
but uccalleo his writing has caused
friction In the ranks ot the White
Elephants. The paper requested that
In order to preservo harmony among
the Chicago Americans, Collins ought
to refrain from doing any literary
work. This at tide, which wus ad
dressed to Collins and Comlskcy,
Rtated that Chicago papers had men
employed to wrlto basebnll and that
these publications did not dcslro any
of Collins' or any other player's arti
cle for their dally sporting pages, tt
further stated that, with Collins In tho
lineup, the White Sox had a good
chnnco to win tho American League
flag and therefore Collins should hcCd
the volco of the papers, which ox
pressed the sentiment of the public,
by not doing any writing ns long as ho
remained with tho White Sox.
JUst what Collins thinks of this un
usual public communication cannot bo
learned. "LMdle" Is now In North Caro
lina on a hunting expedition with "Jack"
33unn. Whether ho Is willing to abldo
by the decision of tho Trlbuno and Pan
Johnson Is problematical. Tho chances
.ro that If there Is really a concerted
' esffort being made to pfEvent Collins writ
ing. It would have been far better to ha e
privately taken up the matter with him
Instead hf publicly demanding that he re
tire from the Journalistic field.
OX SUGAn's'XcCOUNT
John Harvard's shado was stalking o'er
the campus-ot tho collcgo
That ho founded many years ago and
Hlth his name endowed
To hammer Into highbrow heads some
odds and ends of knowledge;
And tho spirit's step was halting and
' his ghostly head was bowed.
sin atmospheric tear rolled down his non
existent check.
His spooky bones were shaken by n
fleeting, phantom sigh;
His occult throat was choked with sobs
and so he could not speak.
He was lachrymose and gloomy and
we'll tell tho reason why.
John Harvard's ghost was rather proud
of Harvard's football team;
Ho Knew Its men wero heroes and he
knew It had the steam;
VBut woo wus his, alack, alasi one au
tumn day It came to pass
That Harvard, boasting of Its class, put
up a plaintive scream.
In honor-stricken accents Harvard raised
a noisy wall.
Havlnsr reached tho sad conclusion that
" a microbe could not fall
To mako a. husky player sick, tho cul
tured Harvard men were quick to
' make a loud and forceful kick-
Against the drinking pall.
John Harvard's ghost could stand for
this; ho had no word of blame.
He thought the private drinking cup a
necessary shame;
But now "Doc" Wiley forward jumps
end says that lots of sugar lumps
the players need to fight the mumps;
John Harvard's ghost Is lame.
And so he ssatks the campus and sheds
his ghostly tears,
The while his phantom heart Is filled with
terrifying fears
That soma day Harvard's football team
wilt ban all players rough,
Torsako the toughened pigskin and use
a fat cream puff.
Although the air was quite chilly In the
flctnlly ot Concourse Lake this morning,
a. number of skaters had good cause to re
member that old song "Stars of the Sum
mer Night.'
j If Ote Yankee owners succeed In dis
posing ot the club at their own price,
J500.000. a new record will be established,
according to a local baseball man, "They
ay that the Eddie Collins sale was the
biggest yet recorded," said this fan. "but
If the Yanks made their proposed trans
fer the Collins deal will fade Into com
parative Insignificance." When asked Just
what he meant the same gentleman re
plied: "Well, you pea the Yankees have
ac grounds, no manager and no ball club.
As far as I can see they have only Fritz
ilaleel. The sale of the-Yankees to my
mind means the sale of Afaisel and little
else. Hence even If Collins brought JS0.00O,
that Is a small figure compared to 1500,
COO." And the fan wasn't far wrong at
that
Two soccer teams recently played a
Same of real football. Anent this athletic
Innovation, we suggest that Penn's chess
team and Southern High's checker crew
engage In nimortal combat on the Ping
mit field. j(No hard leather or paplerj
autahe padtBff allowed).
.Doctor Ttttey suggests that football
qaen curry a lump of sugar with them In
every game Possibly his Idea Is to make
every performer on the gridiron what la
Vulgarly known as a. "sweet player."
5.1 Hi
"Bddls" Collins was recently discussing
athletics in general, when, as usual, the
fr)vffation drifted backward as far as
the world's series or an. "tou Know,"
rwnarked the White Sox second base
man, "that wa made one prediction on
the, series which came true. Talking over

sembles "Jim" Jeffries In physique, and.
according to Dunn, handles himself very
much like the former great heavyweight
champion.

If this were England Instead of Amer

dinals, would probably bo decorated with
a Victoria Cross.
When Mack gathers together his clan
for spring training about February 10
there will bo 10 of his 1913 world's chanr
plons missing. Those who were on the
championship roll that bent tho Giants
far the highest baseball honors who will
no longer bo numbered among the White
Elephants are Houck, urown, llender,
Coombs, Plank, pitchers; Collins, Orr,
Lavan, Inflclders; Daley and "Danny
Murphy, outfielders. There may bo
others, too, who will not bo with the Ath
letics who havo not yet shifted their post
ttou In the baseball firmament, but tha
10 named, with the possible exception ot
Orr, who may be recalled from the ra
clflc Coast League, are tos,t to Phlladcl
phla for all time.
Harvard has decided that It Is best not
to take a chano on the University of
Michigan next season. Tho scant, hard
earned victory of the Crimson ocr tho
Mnlzo and Gold frightened the Cambridge
clan to a certain extent and tho chances
are that they will not lisle a defeat nt
the hands of their Wrntorn rlvnta Iti 1913.
Tlowevcr, Michigan Is apt to take an
other big Eastern opponent. The Wohcr
incs desired to take on Yale, but the Blue
was unwilling, phibably becauso Athletla
Director Itarthelmc, of Michigan, wished
to make a return date. It mny bo that
Princeton will take n "flyer" at Michigan,
hut again tho question ot a return con
test to be -staged in Ann Arbor In 1918
may prevent tlieso elevens fiom clashing
next fall. Yost Is very anxious to get
one of the "Dig Three" on his schedule.
His team of 1914 was a great disappoint
ment to the followers of tho sport In
Michigan and he would Ilka to redeem
tho past season by a ictory over Har
vard, Yalo or Princeton.
During a search through a maze of ex
changes wo came across tho following
Item, reprinted In the Chicago Tribune:
STP.ANGER THAN FICTION.
(Tho author of tho following In

Sporting Editor of tho Knnsas City

If all the baseballs which are hit Into
the stand and over the stand here during
a season could be recovered enough would
bo saved to pay tho salary of any New
York player except Christy Mathenson.
The Giants paid somewhat more than
HOW last year and the expenses of tho
Yankees was almost as much, making a
total of J80O0 in round numbers. The
balls are sold to tho clubs at 315 a dozen.
The Boston Braves spent even more.
The expense In their case was traced to
tho short right field fence. Charles Som
ers, of Cleveland, reports a wastage ot
33763, and Schuyler Brltton had to write
a check for S2395 for the 193 dozen balls
that wero used by the Cardinals last year.
And yet some of the fans are Indignant
when the special police make attempts to
recover balls which have been hit Into
tho crowd.

J.KALBF0S SAYS
DEER SEASON IS
OPEN TOO EARLY
Secretary of Pennsylvania
State Game Commission,
in Special Article, Suggests
December 1 as Ideal Date.
By JOSEPH KALBFUS
The fifth article of a series by Secre
tary Joseph Knlbfus, of the Pennsylvania
Stato Gamo Commission, Is very Inter
esting, and as follows:
"The deer season should begin after tho
close of the bird season, say December 1,
ending December 15, both days Incluslte.
"Through tho selection of this tlmo as
the open season for deer In this State,
tho malo will have been given a chnnco
to pass through the titling stason un
harmed and be given the full opportunity
to serve the purpose of his creation.
"Tho male deer during the rutting sea
son becomes almost Insane. Ills eyes
bulge, his blood becomes heated, his neck
swells and he Is really not fit for food,
and is more easily killed than at other
times."
"After the amative season has passed, ha
returns to normal condition, and makes greater
return In weight as well as flaor to the one
who takes him.
"At this time tho leaves will be oft tho
trees, hunters can see what they aro shooting
at.Hml tha danger to human life will bo ro
duced'to a minimum. Deer can also see the
hunter at a distance. Bird hunters will be
out of the woods. During this tlm we fre
quently hav falling weather, and the danger
of forest fires will bs lowered. During this
tlm In the higher altitudes we frequently
have snows, deer can be tracked and the ma
Jorlty of those wounded ba secured. Viola
tors of tha law can the more readily be taken
and punished,, and deer killed during this
time will keep better than If killed earlier In
the season,
"Somo win no doubt object to this season for
deer upon the ground that the weather Is
likely to b oold and unfitted for standing on
watches. This ts perhaps true. Many argue
that the driving ot deer should be eliminated.
Tho Qamo Commission contends ths law In
tends to protect the gamo that It may In
crease to be taken by hunters, and feeia that
drltlns deer In a reasonable way la not
objectionable.
"Another objection will ba that mors deer
will bo killed became ot the ability o track
In the snow. In my opinion, any gain to ths
hunter because or snow will bo mora than
overbalanced by lb wariness of the deer at
this time as compared with that of tha rutting
seaaon, and the further fact that the deer
a well as the hunter has a better chance to
sea what la going on around htm."

last ntglit waa not very exciting, except at
Intervals when Slegel would wake up and
reveal some of his old-time dash and skill.
Gallagher forced ma tiers from the start and
being In better condlUon than Siegal was able
to Isnd a number of good hard body punchea
unu get away without a counter. In the
fourth round Siegal got started and showed his
true boxing form. II smashed Gallagher all
around the ring and outboxed and outalugged
"Mickey" all through tha seaalon. In the
fifth Gallagher camo beck strong and had
the better of tha aesalon. but in ths alxth
Slegsl again took matters In charge snd forced
Onllsgher to cover up and hold until ths last
minute, when they both fought like wild eats
until the belL Gallagher's aggressiveness and
blcgel's lack of condition gained tha verdict
for Gallagher. ...... . .
In tho first half of the wind-up. "Johnny"
Mealy, of Bouthwark, defeated "Jo" O'Keete,
of Gray's Kerry. In a hard contest. Both were
clever, but Mealy had the harder punch and
he was entitled to th decision at th end of
the six rounds. In th third bout "Mieksy"
1 minor liad all th batter of "Ben" 8mitli, of
Ockland. Cal.. In a Bout In which Smith dis
played gameness. Ha lacked ths knowledge ot
the gams ttlat Tralnor showed and took con.
slderable punishment, several times being on
the verge ot a knockout, but he managed to
atlck to the limit. In the second bout the
'Sattl Ktd"' disposed of "Young 6m"
Langford In the. fifth round of ths hardest
fight of the night, "flesttle" ws the harder
puncher and gradually wore th Memphl boy
down, and In th fifth round sent over the
"sleep producer
Young" CriJrlen rdded another "K. O." to
his already long string ot victories by send
ing "Young IMcIncls to sleep In th second
round.

MEDLEY RELAYS
TO BE FEATURES
AT PENN MEET
Hop, Step and Jump Will
Be Innovation When Col
lege Athletes Gather on
Franklin Field Next April.
In addition to having o, pentathlon con
test nt tho University of Pennsylvania re
lay carnival next April tho Quaker man
agement, According to nn announcement
mado today, will havo four other Impor
tant features for tho first day of tho meet.
Thoy aro two medley relay rnces, a hop-atcp-nnd-Jump
and throwing tho M-pound
weight.
Tho medley relays promlao to bo ex
tremely Interesting. The first will bo for
sprinters and middle distance runnonf,
and Is patterned nfter a similar event nt
tho Olymplo Games, held lq London in
I80S. Thrnrst tworunnera run 220 yanl
each, tho third min runs 410 ynrds nnd
tho fourth 8S0 yards. The aefiond medley
relay provides that tho first man shall run
410 yards, the second ESO yards, the third
three-quarters of a. mllo and tho last a
mile,
Tho beauty of these odd relays Is that
tho samo colleges which competes In them
can nlso compete In tho thrco Intorool
leglato championship relays at one, two
and four miles the next day. Tills Is pos
slblo becauso not moro than ono man In
tho Saturday relays would havo been
obliged to run in tha medley relay tho
day before.
It la further felt that tho medley relay
at tho odd distances wilt permit many
teams to compete In them who aro unabla
to toko part In the regular championship!
relays for lack of men strong enough at
tho samo distance, but who will find tho
medley races Just fitted to their teams.
Tho short medley relay, whoso full dis
tance Is a mile, was first held at London
In 1903, and was won by the American
team, comprising Hamilton, of Kentucky,
and Cartmcll, of Pennsylvania, who ran
tho first two 220-yard distances; Taylor,
of Pennsylvania, who ran the quarter
mllo, and Mel Sheppard, who ran the half
mllo. This event was not on tho Olymplo
program at Stockholm in 1912, while ths
distance relay has never been run any
whero before. Its total distance will bo
two and one-half miles.
Tho running hop, step and Jump and
tho ES-pound weight nro new events for
collcgo men, but should provo popular.
Two other features for Triday's program
will bo tho Interacademlc nnd Philadel
phia High School championships, whllo
another event open to local high schools
other than West Philadelphia, Central and
Northeast, and called the "Philadelphia
suburban high school championship," will
be put on tho program.
