tH THE big baseball drama now being played nt the Waldorf-Astoria Hot
J. n New York, the members of the National Commission tiro tho actors and tl
federal magnates the audience. Will
IS llio agitating question which Is shaking basebnll to Its foundations.
Tho National Commission Is putting on n series of acts and presenting them
In tho form of "peace proposals." The Federal League Is looking ort, dissecting
tho acta and biding Its time In giving a definite answer.
Obviously tho National Commission Is tip against n proposition . to which
It Is a total stranger. In the past It has been the habit of this body to run
baseball to suit Itself entirely, whether the lesser lights approved or not.
If a protest were made by an owner, or any one else, the National Commission
frowned and usually "squelched" the intruder.
Federal League Stands for Its Rights.
Tho Federal League has shown that It will not bo 'squelched," and that Is
what is-gctting under the skin of the National Commission. Tlw romiuWslon
la dealing with business men. They may be great lovers of baseball, but they
know more about business than baseball, consequently, tho Nntlunal Commis
sion Is not nble to put "nnythlng over" that would in any way conflict with
tho Ideas of tho Federal League magnates, "Our terms must be fairly met,"
Is tho sentiment of the Feds expressed by President Ollttloro.
Unquestionably the delay In the two factions reaching an ngreemenl 1
caused by tho Federal League's failure to "fall" for the bundle of proposals offered
by tho National Commission, which Is now empowered to represent organized
baseball at the peace meeting.
National League Rowed to the Federals
Tho attitude of the National Commission toward the Federal League makes 11
plain now that it really was the National League, and not the Federal, which
began peace negotiations. If the opposlto were true, tho National Commission
would bo deciding whether they would accept tho terms of the Federals, or not.
But as it Is, the commission Is presenting tho terms of peace nnd tho Feds are
considering their acceptance.
In tho paBt, open meetings of tho National Commission were conducted
this way:
Ban Johnson to Chairman Herrmann "Well, Garry, the meeting is open."
Garry to Han "Yes, Han, It's open." (Mr, Tenor Is silent.)
Ban "Let's do thus and so, Garry."
Garry "All right, Han, that looks good to mo." (Mr. Toner Is still silent.)
Garry "Well, I think we'vo fixed up everything nil right, don't you, Han?"
Ban "Yes, I think so, Garry."
Garry "Everything's all right, Isn't It, Mr. Tcner?'
Mr. Tener "Yes."
Hut Now the Scene Is Changed
These methods of the National Commission cannot bo used against tho Fed
eral Leaguers, unfortunately for organized baseball. The present meeting Kevins
to bo going this way:
Herrmann "Well, I propose this, what do you think of It, gentlemen?"
B. Johnson "It's all right."
Mr. GUmtyc "Yes, It's nil right from your view-point, but where do wo
get off? This nnd that arc things we won't stand for. Now, you'll have to come
again, Mr. Herrmann."
Herrmann "Well, let me talk to Han a minute." He talks to Han.
Herrmann "You are right. Mr. Gilmore. I should have said that wo would
do this, not that."
Gilmore "That's better, .Mr. Herrmann; but still there Is this that which
must be done this way and not that way. etc,"
All of which seems to indicate that when tho smoke of battlu has cleared
away organized baseball will have either failed to make peace or It will have
ncccpted many amendments to Its own wcll-formulntcd plans.
Football Committee Makes Wise Movp
Members of the Football Committee at tho University of Pennsylvania
went n long way toward quieting the dissatisfaction among tho students nnd
alumni yesterday when they conferred with Dr. M. S. Bennett, William M.
JJollenback and Robert C Folwell on tho coaching situation. As theso men
aro tho popular choices nt the University, tho committee .showed that It was
fair nnd impartial, and tho best man wi uld be selected for the position.
"While no announcement hns been made, It Is believed by those on tho
Instdo that Mike Bennett will get tho Jot. Bennett Is not connected In any way
With any of the cliques nt Bonn, and would bo an Ideal compromise candldnto.
Moreover, ho Is favored by Br. Carl S. Williams nnd Captain Nelll Mathews.
Doctor Bennett knows modern football nnd. If made head coach, will turn out
a good team. His work at Haverford College In the last two years places him
In the front rank of gridiron tutors In the country.
Sharpe an Ideal Coach for Yale
Although the committee appointed by 'ho Yale Athletic Asnciation denies
that Al Sharpe has been named to succeed Hlnkey us coach of tho Blue grid
Iron warriors. It Is certain thnt ho Is being considered, Tho probnblo reason
for tho failure of the committee to state outright that Sharpo Is wanted. Is tho
fact that the Cornell director of athletics has Just finished his first year on a
five-year contract at Ithaca.
If Sharpe Is released by Cornell from this contract, ther Is no doubt that
he -will take the position of head coach at Yale, where he would make nn Ideal
man for the position.
One-man System Hadly Needed by Elis
Cornell has risen In athletics during tho regime of Sharpe because ho is
essentially un advocato of the "one-man hystcm." Not only Is Sharpo an advocate
of that system, but ho refuses anything else. He Is willing to make or break
himself on his own Judgment In all matters pertaining to tho teams. Ho docs
this not on the basis of egotism, but on
one when athletic methods are to be tried out.
Yale needs just such a system. For years tho Wis have had so many
coaches that nobody knew where the other man stood. The men on the field
received contradictory orders, every day. Such a system could bo but one thing,
ultimate failure nnd Yulo failed. Therefore, they need a new system and
Sharpe la tho man who could give It to them.
And the Dear Old Public Is Stung Again
The bigger they eomo tho harder tho public falls in tho tight game. Since
'the Willard-Fulton nrtlcles were signed In Chicago three days ago we have
heard strango noises about tho "battlo for the chumpionshlp." Wlllard will
begin training at once for his 132,500 purse, and Fulton has decided to get Into
condition by accepting an offer to go on the vaudeville stage. As tho battle
will bo staged In New Orleans on March 4, the challenger should bo Able to
perform several weeks behind the footlights and make enough money to retlru
after the fight.
Tom Jon?s, TVillard's manager, la worried over the outcome of tho battle.
He is sorry his man was not able to meet Jim Coffey or Frank Moran. He
Knows what these men can do, but Fulton's record is shrouded in mystery.
Tom s right about this, because Fulton has no record. Neither has Hud Wil
bur, of Conshohocken, or HI Harvey, of Oskaloosa, Iowa. All that Mr. Jones
knows Is that Mr. Fulton Is 6 feet 1 inches tall, weighs 220 pounds and is In
good physical condition. Yet he Is willing to risk the world's heavyweight
championship In a battle with a perfect stranger. And he says the 32,500 Is
only a minor consideration.
Ad Wolgast's Fighting Days are Over
Ad Wolgast's pugilistic days aro about over. Tho former lightweight
Champion was forced to quit In the sixth round of his bout with Leach
Cross last nUht. It was the second time this week that the "Michigan Wild
Cat" had to stop tho other affair being at Atlanta.
Last night the former champion was battered to a pulp. His face was
streaming- with blood, the result of an old wound being opened, completely
obscuring his vision. The referee stopped the flght. Hut while he could bee
"Wolffast was not the Wotfast of old. He took all of Cross' cruel punishment
and ke.) gamely plunging In for more.
Walter B. Elcock, coach of the Washington nnd Lee football team for the
last two years, has notified the Southern college that he would be back next
year. This probably means that the Generals will have another good team.

Although Hilly Rerger wan the nggres
sor during a greater portion of his en
counter with Tommy Coleman nt the
N'onparell Club last night, the clever negro
boxer was entitled to the decision nt the
final gong K. O. Sullivan, of Shenan
doah, made his Philadelphia debut In the
wlndup at the Quaker City against his
sparring partner, Jackie Clarke, nnd the
latter won In six rounds.
Coleman's cleverness In his set-to with
Herger could not bo denied. He met tha
Plttsburgher's rushes with Jabs, hooks,
upperculs and swings to the head anil
body Herger put up a hard light and
deserved much credit.
The Sulllvnn-Clarke mix also woh a
match between a boxer and a lighter In
which the clever exponent won. Clarke
left Jabbed himself to advantage over
Sullivan In the first three and tho sixth
rounds, while the Shenandoah man
earned the better of the fourth. Tho
fifth was even.

ring powers of bnsebnll gathered them
selves together In tho Waldorf toilny for
their second confab, two huge obstacles,
seemingly Insurmountable, barred their
wny toward tho goal of pence
Ono was orgnnl7ed baseball's reitera
tion of the ultimatum that It would do
nothing definite concerning a pence pact
until tlm Fcdi have withdrawn their suit
asking for the dissolution of organized
baseball. The Feds asert that they will
not withdraw this suit until they nre
absolutely assured that xaco will ho
mnde and under tho conditions nlrendy
outlined. Tho Feds tnke tho position that
If they withdrew the still before pence
actually was consummated. It would re
lieve them of tho club which they hnvo
held over the heads of organized basebnll.
Second Obstacle
Tho second obstacle was that placed In
the roadway toward the goal that base
bnll la seeking by Carrol W. Unsln, owner
of tho Hnltlmoro Feds. Hnsln asserted
lodnv thnt he would stnnd pnt tin his
ultimatum of yesterdny that Haltlmorc

ON PENN'S SCHEDULE
Red and Blue to Play Nine
Games Next Fall No West
ern Teams Will Be Played
Tho University of Pennsylvania's lSlfi
football schedule Is rapidly taking shape,
in spite of the fact that the llnnl selection
of tho football coach hns been held up
for a few weeks.
The committee has decided to reduce
the schedule to nine games, eliminating
the mid-week contest played this fall
with Albright. The preliminary schedule
will once more contain games with West
Vlriilnla and Franklin nnd Marshall.
There were some negotiation for a game (
with Virginia but they havo been ills- i
continued, and the Botitnerners will not
be seen hete this year.
Hoth Penusjlvunla State College and
tho University of Pittsburgh are appli
cants for places on the schedule. Theso
were two of the hardest contests !h
Quakers hnd this fall and did more than
anyth'ng else to wreck the first half of
tho s-hetlule. As a matter of fact, they
are harder gomes than Pennsylvania
wishes to play In October. Hut tho
Quakers huvn never dropped from their
schedule a team which has beaten them,
and probably will find a place for both
teamr. The fact that Michigan is to be
played In Ann Arbor this full makes it
almost certain that If Pittsburgh Is played
the game must ba plaed on Franklin
Field. No answers havo et been given
to State or Pittsburgh
There Is nothing In the reports of an
other western game with either Wiscon
sin or Illinois. The November schedule
will bo the same os this year, with the
exception that Lafayette will probably be
moved up to tho first Saturday Jn No
vember. It will be followed by games
with Michigan, Dartmouth and Cornell.
