' WAGNER BROS., NOT P. A. B. WIDENER,
BACKERS OF BROTHERHOOD LEAGUE
Bit of Baseball History Recalls Astute Dealings in Clubs
and Development of Great Players Garry
Herrmann May Be Peace Envoy
TUB stiitement hns been mado that Peter A. U. WIdencr had been the. backer
of the Urdtherhood In the famous baseball war 25 years ago, but his Rons
nnd those who wero ctosoly associated with the wnrrlnjr factions at that time
declare that this Is Incorrect. Tho backers of the Philadelphia Club nnd
f-tockholrtcrs In several other teams at that time wero tho Wasncr brothers.
George nnd Jnke, who nftcrward played a prominent pnrt In National Lcaguo
history.
It appears thnt some one cot tho names confused and the report spread
without denials until Kotno fans looked upon It as a fact. Tho Wagners had
always been Interested In baseball, nnd were Induced by those who headed
the movement to tako tho Philadelphia franchise nnd some stock In other
clubs.
Wagners Made First Money From WashlnRton Club
The Wagners owned tho Philadelphia Players' League tenm In 1800 nnd
tho following season were the backers of the Philadelphia Club, of tho Amer
ican Association. After the consolidation of tho warring factions, the Wngncrs
wero paid $1,5,000 for their Interests and given the Washington franchise In
tho National League. This was the largest price ever paid for a ball team up
to thnt time and It was tho high-water murk which wna not reached until
Hcveral years Inter.
Under tho business management of the Wngncr brothers Washington
made money for tho first time In its history This success extended over n
period of soven years. No previous team rep resenting the capital had broken
even on tho season, nnd until tho Amerlcai Lcngue had been In existence
eight years no other owners wero able to do as well.
These Magnates Did Not Want to Win Pennant
George Wagner often said he wns afraid his team might win n pennant.
This wns n. strnngo nttltudo for a magnate to take, but Wagner Hald ho felt
that wny because ho thought n pcnnnnt-wlnnlng team would spoil tho fans.
Washington was a money-mnkcr because of tho wonderful ability of tho
brothers to go out on a scouting trip and return with promising youngsters
Who wero developed nnd then sold to other clubs for largo sums. In tho seven
seasons they controlled tho Senators tho Wngncrs sold enough good players
to havo won two or thrco pennnnts.
Washington was tho last baseball venture for tho Wngncrs. In 1809, when
tho Nntlonal League decided to chnngo Its circuit from 12 to 8 clubs. It was
decided to drop Washington, Baltimore. Cleveland and Louisville. It was
an easy matter to get rid of three of tho clubs, but tho Wagners, with their
Usual shrewdness, had tied tho league to an agreement which wns hard to
break. When they wero finally bought by the National League, tho Wngncrs
demanded and received n price which set another record.
Everything tho Wagners wero connected with In bnseball was n financial
success. As developers of young ball players they were In a class by them
selves. While other clubs wero spending lnrge sums for minor leaguers, tho
Wngncrs wero getting their men for almost nothing nnd selling them ut a
huge profit.
Garry Herrmann in Role of Pacifist
Cincinnati scribes insist that Garry llerrmnnn Is to go to the Nntlonnl
Leaguo meeting In New York In two weeks with several suggestions which
would bring about baseball peace. If tho suggestions arc acted upon by tho
National Lcaguo a delegation will bo sent to the Amerlcnn League meeting
In Chicago to pcrsundo Han Johnson to swing his lcngue over.
Although thero havo been frequent denials from President Toner, It Is
bclloved that tho National Lcaguo wants penco nnd will listen to anything
that may aid In bringing It about. Herrmann Is the IdenI man to act as tho
representative of organized ball If pence negotiations are to bo renewed, not
only because of his position as chairman of the Nntlonnl Commission, but
also becauso tho Federal Lcaguo would bo far more willing to do business
with Herrmann than with President Johnson or Toner.
Havcrford College Soccer Eleven Springs Surprise
Columbia University's soccer tenm ran up against an unexpected snag
yesterday when tho Haverford College eleven put over threo goals while
tho visitors wero held scoreless. Columbia came hero with tho strongest soccer
team it has ever had nnd tho victory of the Haverford team wns all tho more
remarkable. Haverford In both periods was out to win nnd simply outplayed
Columbia In all departments of the contest. In the first period two goals
wero scored by tho locals and thero was ono In the final. A singular coin
cidence was tho manner of scoring. Tho first scoro wns mado a few minutes
after tho opening whistle sounded. Tho second enmo at tho very end of
tho first half, whilo tho third tally was registered an instant before tho
final whistle. By her victory Haverford ties for second place In tho Inter
collegiate Leaguo race with Yale and Princeton.
Deal for Chapman Would Round Out Athletics' Infield
Assuming that the four-cornered deal which will send Frank Baker to New
York and bring Ray Chapman hero will be made, local fans are rejoicing nnd
believe that Manager Mack will yet make good his prediction to give Philadelphia
onother championship tenm in 1917. Tho addition of Chapman to the Mackmen
would go a long way toward giving Mack a foundation for a new infield com
bination to tako tho place of tho $100,000 combination ho tore apart.
Wally Schang Is playing third base with the AU-Amerlcans against the All
Nationals out In California now, and reports stnto that ho Is making a surprising
showing. It begins to look as If Mack will play him In that position next season
dcsplto tho fact that he was hooted and Jeered for his efforts at this position
last summer.
Malonc Will Be Stationed at Second Base
With first base and shortstop taken caro of, In tho event that Chapman
comes here, Mack has but two positions In his Infield to till. They aro important,
but If Schang comes through It Is likely the new combination will Be Intact, as
Mack Intends to send young Lew Malono to second regularly next summer. Ho
believes that Malone Is due to be ono of the best second basemen in the game
and will glvo him every opportunity to make good.
No doubt denials will bo mado from all sides, and Cleveland will be reluctant
to admit that Chapman will come here, but when the coming American Leaguo
meeting Is In session the deal will probably be ratified. Chapman should bo a
wonderful help to the Mackmen. He Is a grand all-round player, but was
dissatisfied In Cleveland. A change of scenery should do him a lot of good.
Will This Meet With Harvard's Approval?
Eddie Mahan, Harvard's wonderful captain and the unanimous choice for
fullback on tho All-Amerlcnn eleven, covered tho Penn-Cornetl and Army
Navy games for a New York paper, or rather he allowed his signature to
be used over the articles. Mahan Is said to have told a friend In this city
that he received $600 for this, which proves that there are other ways for
an athlete to earn money from his athletic ability without being caught with
the goods than that adopted by ao many who commit the crlmo of playing
summer baseball.
Gorham Parsons Sargent, a member of the famous Sargent family of
golfers, has not followed the game as Industriously as some of the rest, but he
has the natural ability at golf that seems to run in the family, Gorham P., if
ho cannot beat his kin every time in match play, at least can beat them
on their drives, for he Is one of the longest drivers at the Merlon club, where
tho whole family plays. ,
Without doubt, the reversal of form shown by the Qreystock Eastern
Basketball League five Is due entirely to the far-sightedness of Manager Joo
Bailey, During the 1914-15 race the Churchmen lost money, and when Bailey
signed his players for the present race their salaries were greatly reduced. A
clause In their contracts, however, provided a bonus for each player In the
event of the team drawing more than 70 per cent, of the seating capacity of
CCoper Hall, the Greys' home floor.
,
One of the best things the Intercollegiate Swimming Association ever did
-was its recent action In making a ruling that each member should meet each
other member twice, one In each pool. That suggestion was made by George
Klstler, the Pennsylvania coach. It will go a long way toward preventing
the unfprtunate series of ties that Bpolled (he championship season last year.

THE OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT
In spile of having lost three veteran1)
from Inst year's tenm, the University of
Pennsylvania expects to have a basket
bull team of Intercollegiate, proportions
this year. Tills Is duo to the splendid
material from the 1011 freshman team
and the Improvement In the substltuto

stituted much of the time, Is still here.
Tho threo men lost aro cx-Cnptnln Seel
bncli, ctntro; Wallace, a guard, nnd
12vans, forward. McXIchol and William
son have reported In first-class condition,
and both will-try out for the forward po
sitions. Injt year's freshman tenm was every
bit as good ns the varsity, unci nt least
two of Its members, Arthur ..efford and
Lou Martin, nre counted on to win posi
tions. Welsh nnd Grnnt, who played on
the freshmnn tenm hist yenr, nre still
Ineligible for athletics at Pennsylvania.
JofTotd Is be I n 5 tried out at centre, where
his height and speed should make him a
star.
One of the fortunate things about the
star members of this year's sound Is that
thf men nre uniformly tall nnd strong,
Just the type needed to excel nt the pass
ing gnme. Coach Jourdet says ho Intends
to develop the short passing gnme this
year.
Jourdet Is trying to persuade several
members of the footbnll team to try for
basketball, Eble, who stands 6 feet 2

NEW GAME CROSS
BETWEEN BOWLING
AND BILLIARDS
Ten
Miniature Pins, Pool
Ball and Cue Are
Used
AN INTERESTING PASTIME
A brand new game has been Invented
which hns mndo a great hit with thoso
who follow bowling nnd pocket billiards.
It Is plnscd on a billiard or pool table,
but the urlnchile of the game Is cen
tred on bowling. The Idea Is new, and
until one hns tried It lie cannot Imnglnc
how much enjoyment there Is In the plny
Ing. Tho game probably will bo known
ns bowling-pool.
Ten mlntaturo tenpins, standing nbout
four Inches In height nnd an Inch nnd
a hnlf In diameter nt the body of the pin,
nre placed In bowling position on the
Bpot where the bnlls nre racked for pocket
bllllnrds. A regular poolbnll tnXcs tno
place of a bowling bnll and a cue Is used
to shoot.
Instead of Bliootlng from the upper cud
of the table, as Is the ense In bllllnrds
or pool, the player shoots from behind
n line drawn across tho tnblo from tho
point where tho head pin stands.
Ho must shoot up the table and bank
his cue bnll. The rest of the game Is on
the principle of bowling. The object Is to
try to lilt between the ono and two or
one and three pins. If this Is dune a
strike Is Just as likely to result as on
a bowling alley. If all the pins are not
knocked down on' the first try, the second
shot Is made foi the spare. The score Is
counted Just like that of n bowling game.
This gnme Is not only Intensely Inter
esting, but Is a great aid to n billiard or
pool plajcr, particularly the former, as It
teaches him control of the cue ball nnd
the angles of the tnblc. Tho one cushion
gamo Is pot so much In favor as the two
and three, which means that the ball
must strike the number of cushions desig
nated before It strikes the pins.

the enmo gridiron havo been abandoned.
All of which means that wo will have fi".

A game between Cornell nnd Pitt wouM
bo a wonderful drawing card nnd ono
of tho largest crowds that ever witnessed

broken all records, but neither team would ;
havo profited financially, Joo Thompson,

Both tenms havo gono through the set- j

would be difficult to forecast a winner, ' -ns
they aro evenly matched and capable M 4
of plnytng n high-class game. Of course,
Charlie Uarrctt outrhlncs any member of ,
tho Western team, but, taking It nil and '
all, neither eleven wouK.' have an advan

Pittsburgh won all of Its eight games, '
