IP TIIK baseball magnates decide to handle tho distribution of tlio Federal
League players as one National League owner Intimated, tho public Is going to
bo shown Just how little tho magnates caro nbout "Ironclad" contracts. For
two years the magnates liavd gone Into tho courts to force ball players to live
up to their contracts, but now that the players no longer hold tho upper hand,
they will be shown that they can expect but llttlo consideration from tho owners
In tho future.
Thero are 72 Federal League players with supposed "Ironclad" contracts.
Apparently thero Is no room for them in the major leagues, although thoy niny
bo Just as good as tho men of tho National nnd American Leagues. It Is cer
tain that several of the stars will bo In demand and havo llttlo to worry about,
but at least 40 players are to suddenly llnd themselves without Jobs, desplto
their contracts, and will have to accept What tho magnates offer.
According to a magnate the very best of tho Federal League players will
be returned to tho loams they left to go to tho Independent organization, while
tho rest will bo unconditionally released. When ashed how tho magnates hoped
to get away with that, he replied that it was easy, and that tho playors would
tako what the magnates wanted to gtvo or quit tho game,
Magnate Says Contracts Aro Easily Broken ,
When told that thoro would surely bo plonty of lawsuits from players who
behoved their contracts woro "ironclad," tho inagnato said that thoro wore
fow contracts which could not bo broken, and ho predicted that aftrr one or
two of tho players lost their suits, tho others will tako It for grnnted that the
will havo no chance to get redress through tho courts.
Tho public cares but little What the players are paid if thev dollxer. but.
at the same tltnp, baseball will be dealt a grrat blow if the reconstructed
National Commission permits tho club owners to show such llttlo regard for
contracts. If this method of getting around tho "Ironclad" contracts is carried
out it will not bo long beforo there will bo another basobuil war.
Sinclair Insists Players Will Be Taken Caro of
President Harry Sinclair, wlto will purchaso tho Giants, insists that ho Will
not stand for such an arrangoment, and it is hoped that ho will stick to his
decision. Thero is no denying tho fact that if tho Federal League Is absorbed
by tho National and American tho magnates havo an excellent chanco of
getting away with such a move, but it is hoped that they will treat tho playors
fairly.
Sinclair says that every player who has a Federal Leaguo contract will
receive his full pay as long as ho lias contracted for, whethor ho Is considered
strong enough for tho National and Amorlcan Leagues or not. If Sinclair can
succeed in convincing tho other magnates that this Is tho proper courso to
adopt, there will bo somo mighty high-priced stars playing In tho reconstructed
International and Amorlcan Association, Class AA minor leagues.
Benny KauiT "Will Bo Valuable Addition to tho Giants
riayors lllto Bonny Kauff, Dave Davenport, Joe Tinker. Kddle Plank and
other stars will havo no troublo landing positions in the major leagues with
their salaries unchanged, but more than EO per cent, of tho Feds aro going
to go back to tho minor leagues. Several mugnatos, who were questioned
during tho mooting in New York, doclared that whllo they could use a few' of
tho stars they did not soo any reason why they should release loyal ball
players, in order to tako on thoso who desorted orgnnlzcd ball.
Tf they continue to feel this way about tho Federal League players, tho
independent stars aro going to plav under tho great handicap of a prejudiced
cmployor. It Is said that Charloy Ebbetts and Barney Droyfuss will never sign
the peaco agreement unloss Hal Chase, Harry Lord and a fow of tho others
who Jumped straight contracts aro barred from baseball forever.
Tho Unwritten Blacklist Has Been Used Before
In barring these men from the game, unless it is done through a secret
understanding with an unwritten law against any team signing them, tho
league will And themselves in hot water. It 1h against tho law to place a
blacklist ngnln3t men In any buslnoss, although In tho past it was dono in
bosoball.
One of those who may llnd troublo in becoming reinstated Is Benny Kauff,
tho Ty Cobb of tho Feds. Kauff Jumped a straight contract with tho Indianap
olis American Association team for tho Federal Leaguo team of tho samo city.
Kauffs easo is rather complicated, as ho is really under contract with the New
York Giants as soon ns the Federal League passos out of existence.
Last season Kauff decided to desert the Feds in mid-season and was
corralled by Manager McGraw. IIo was on tho flold proparod to play against
the Hraes, but the umpires would not permit it, as ho was on tho lnoligiblo
list. The caso was takon up by tho National Commission, but boforo it could
tako action to relnstato Kauff tho slugging outfielder decided to return to the
Brookfeds. Tho Giants havo a contract with Kauff and havo also paid tho
Indianapolis Amorlcan Association club for its claim to him.
The Phillies Would Be Strengthened by Addition of Seaton
Tho Phillies will bo exceedingly lucky if tho players who leaped organized
ball aro compelled to return to their old owners. It is said that Manager Jloran
Intends to use Otto Knabo on second base; but. Judging by remarks dropped
by Moran in New York, tho Philly leader has nn idea that Mlko Doolan would
make a wonderful tecond baseman and ho may use Mike in that position.
Tho roturn of Pitcher Tom Seaton will bolster uji tho Philly staff, whllo
tho much-needed outfloldor may be uncovered in "Duke" Duncan, tho youngster
who has been playing great ball for Baltimore. Otto Knabo, who Induced tho
youngster to Jump tjio Phillies, says thero aro few better outflcldors in tho
major leagues than Duncan.
Under this arrangement of players returning to tho clubs they Jumped,
Eddlo Plank tsould ngnln be a member of tho Athletics, but it is not likely
that Mack will put in any claim for the veteran southpaw unless he desires
to use him in a trade. Mack admits that Plank is still a wonderful pitcher,
but declares that fie outlivod his usefulness to the Athletics.
3Irs. Bundy tho Greatest Tennis "Come-back" on Record
Mrs. Tom Bundy, formerly May Sutton, of California, has staged tho most
remarkable come-back known in the annals of American lawn tennis. In 1912,
eight years after she had won her first national title, Mrs, Bundy retired from
tournament play. She was adjudged then to bo "through." But news of the
great success of Molla BJurstedt, the Norwegian girl, on tho 'courts aroused
Mrs. Bundy to make another effort to demonstrate her supremacy. How woll
she did this is shown by the matches which she played with Miss BJurstedt on
tho coast recently. In two out of three played Mrs. Bundy won, not by big
scores, yet nevertheless decisively. Tho many and consistent victories which
Miss BJurstedt won in all her tournaments last summer show that her con
queror, Mre. Bundy, is still the greatest woman player in this country.
No, the football seasqn is not over. Tho championship of Philadelphia will
be decided on New Year's Day, when the McCIure A, A. and VJncomo teams
clash in Darby. The winner will claim the local title, despite tho fact that
Penn had a team on tho gridiron last fall.
In the meantime, what has become of Frank Baker? When last seen he
was standing alone on the auction block 'way out in Chicago whllo the Ameri
can League magnates were discussing everything but how much they would
pay for his services.
George acre, tho old-timer, has applied to President Barrow, of the In
ternational League, for an umpiring position. Gore had a most remarkable
baseball career and, oddly, never played on a team which was not a pennant
winner. After years of success with the famous Chicago team under "Cap"
Anson, Gore was traded to the Giants Just when that team started on its mad
career.
There are many managers as well as ball players who hope something
turns up to spoil the peace plans. It la believed that four managers are to bo
ousted to make room for Federal League leaders if present plans are carried
out. Strangely enough, after bcribes had been trading and releasing Ilerzog
for a week there is not even the slightest suspicion that he will not be retained.

John It Tencr and August Herrmann,
National Commission members, hero to

Ilan Johnson wants to nrrango tho set

EDDIE PLANK LEADS FED
PITCHERS; HE IS ONLY 41
Gettysburg- Veteran Allows but Two Earned
Runs to a Game in Total of 42 Contests
and Wins 22
By GRANTLAND RICE
TTpUTY-ONE years old and still leading
1 the pitchers of a big leaguo. That 13
tlio lecord now maintained by Bddle
Plonk, tho Gettysburg Guide, who, hi nis
41at year, led tho pitching, in earned runs,
as depicted by tlio Feds.
Plank worked in 42 games for St. Louis.
Of tho S3 games completed ho won 22, lost
11 and tied 1. Ho allowed but two eurnud
runs to tho battle, loading such men as
Tom Seaton. Claude llendrix, Cy Falken
berg and othor stars.
The garoo has had Its pitching wonders,
but nono to lead a big leaguo with a pitch
ing arm 41 years old.
Tho fourth Fed pitcher in tho list was
Miner Brown, who was still good enough
to win 17 games and lose but C.
Brown and Matty
Tho careors of Brown and Matty, old
rivals from eight or nine campaigns back,
have had queer and curious twists.
In tho campaigns of ISM, 1307 and JM3
thoy woro the loading pitching rivals or
the game. Then three years ago Brownla
wrenched a kneo and was shipped back
to tho minors. IIo was apparently
through, as ho was then 37 years old.
Matty, only S3 years old then, was fig
ured with a Ions spin ahead. Yet last
reason, where Brown won 17 games and
lost but S. Matty drew the worst year of
his career, through a neurotic left shoul
der. But there Is balm In all this for tha
Giant star. Plank Is a star at 41, and
Brown still thero nt 40. Mathcwson at
S3 should bo a long way from the finish
ing linofrom tho last lap. With that
kink unraveled ho should still have flvo
seasons ahead, and then bo no older than
Plank or Brown is today.

No, Tessle. there is very little chance
that when the amalgamation follows the
inrush of extra talent will fieezo out Ty
Cobb and Walter Johnson. Very little,
indeed.
Here's a good idea for Yale and Prince

Tho Fed slogan is "Peaco at any slice

years he had been engaged In mission

football players Princeton evi-r had. IIo
played three years against Yalo '77, 'IS
and '79 and never lost a game. IIo was
a great runner unci a great . kicker. In
'73 he beat Harvard by kicking a field
goal, the game's only score.. In '78,
when Walter Camp captained Yale, Jfc
Nalr was largely responsible for Yale's
defeat. He was a classmate of President
Wilson, Justice Pitney and others who

Main Line Soccer Eleven
Better "Mudders" Than
Penn Players
LUCKY TO WIN LAURELS
Tho only Intercollegiate championship
that .Pennsylvania won In 1011 was at
soccer, and tho lted and llluo playors
wero confldont of retaining- that title in
1913. Tint best soccer eleven that ever
woro tho Scarlet and Illack of Haverford
Collego held an entirely different view
of that question and proceeded to dis
prove the contention of tho Quakers. This
they did by proving themselves bettor
"mud horses" than their opponents in
tho flnnl intercollegiate soccer gamo of
tho year on 'S3 Field at Haverford Cot
logo last Saturday. Dy holding tho Itrd
and Uluo to a 1-1 draw tho Main Lino
college won tho championship for tho
second tlmo slnco the Intercollegiate
loaguo was organized.
In vlow of Ilavcrford's poor showing
last year this season's success was n dis
tinct surprise. On the form of the previ
ous games and on the run of play
throughout Saturday's contest Penn was
atjleast two goals better than Haverford.
Hut in tho second half the Scarlet and
Black, having visions of tho intercol
legiate championship, put up a stubborn,
not to say frenzied, defense, thut com
pletely crushed the despairing rallies of
tho Penn warriors.
Mohr Good Dack-
"Pergy" Mohr, who was elected to lead
tho Penn eoccerlsts noxt year. Is one of
tho best halfbacks in tho college ranks.
IIo won hla "P" Ut year, when tlio team

As Harvard still must play Princeton, It
Is quite evident that Harvard and Cornell

DOC NEWMAN LEADS

Do Neri Star Has Cased 3G Bas
kets Since the Season
Began
-joe Nowmnn, .the speedy Do Neri star,
Is tho real lender of tho Eastern League,
although DavoKerr. tho former Central
High School boy, tops tho list. Kerr has
played, however. In only three games, nnd
therefore cannot bo considered as tho
ranking player of tho league.
Newman's play this season has been
consistently brilliant. There wero some
fan3 last season who believed that Doc
was going back, but It appears that it
was simply a general laxness on tho part
of tho Do Neri team which prevented
Newman from showing up to tho best ad
vantage. Whllo Newman hns not mado tho mo3t
Held goals, ho has made 20 and has been
credited witli 1C assists. Close on tho
heels of Newman comes his teammate,
lieckman. who has an average of .311.
Jimmy Drown, of Camden, Is third In the
list with .315.
