EVENING LEDGEB-PHILADELPHIA', FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, T01B-
DETAILS OF BASEBALL PEACE AGREEMENT PREDICTED AS EARLY AS LAST SEPTEMBJBl
Work of peace commission
was easy as plans were
formulated last spring
Meetings of Magnates of Organized Ball and
Federal League Held During Playing Sea
son and Death of Ward Solved Problem
FAIt bo It from us to pull tho old "I told you so" story. Nevertheless, baseball
fans will no doubt recnll articles In tho Evening Ledoep. of May 28, telling
of the first peace negotiations and comment In theso columns on September 2
f telling of the final agreement which had been reached between organized ball
and tho Federal League and tho terms of peace which wero suggested by tho
ivnrrlng factions.
Baseball scribes throughout the country wasted a lot of space on caustic
comment anent the "hop-smokers," "dreamers," etc., due entirely to tho fact
that President Man Johnson, of tho American Leagues President Toner, of thi
National, and Gllmore, of tho Feds, insisted that there was nothing to tho
rumor, giving out Interviews from time to tlmo, "panning" tho rival organization.
Met Here During the World's Scries
Neither would they belltvo that there was a possible chanco for peace after
tho meeting of certain magnates of organized ball and n Federal League com
mltteo at tho Beltcvuc-Strntfbrd during the world's scries. Tho magnates ex
plained that tho meeting wns entirely accidental, but It was pointed out hero
that President Ollmoro had hurried over from New York nftcr receiving a long
distance telephone call when he preferred to stay In New York for tho alitomobito
race nt Shcepshcad Bay tho following day.
Much moro could havo been accomplished at this meeting had It not been
for the fact that Ollmoro wanted to return to New York, and because he could
not reconcile It. B. Ward, tho greatest financial backer of the Independent leaguo
until his death, to the Idea of accepting pcaco on any other condition but that
thero should bo a third major league, with the Brooklyn Beds In tho field.
Agreement After Death of It. B. Ward
Tho death of Ward permitted organized ball to gain somo concessions not
Included In .the original pcaco plan, published exclusively In tho Evening LEPflEii
on September 2, one day after tho meeting was held. Had Ward lived thero
would havo been no peace unless there wns a third league, with two teams In
, each of tho cities of tho National and American Leaguo circuits which had but
one club.
Just now the Peaco Commission Is working on tho third league problem,
Tho Federal Leaguo magnates who have not bought Into organized bnll Insist
that tho International Leaguo circuit bo reconstructed so that Pittsburgh and
llrobklyn arc taken In, and the leaguo given a higher rating than tho American
Association. Even If this Is done tho International League can hardly hope to
be called a major leaguo. It Is posslblo that It will bo made exempt from diaft
and be used as n farm for tho National and American Leagues, with n. higher
salary limit than is allowed Class AA minor leagues, under which tho Inter
national Is now classed.
Arrangements Accurately Predicted
In tho original pcaco story, It was stated that Weeghman would have tho
Cubs, Ball the Browns, Sinclair and It. B. Ward franchises to bo selected by
tho Peaco Committee. It also mentioned thnt no arrangement hnd been mado
for tho disposal of tho Baltlmoro and Newark franchises. That this was abso
lutely truo is proven by tho appointment of a commltteo to straighten out
tho affairs of theso two franchises, nnd to reconstruct tho International circuit.
Tho now peace plan was held up for several days because tho Baltlmoro Feds
had not been cared for as owner Raisin thought proper.
Another paragraph referred to itho possibility of placing third major leaguo
teams In Pittsburgh and Brooklyn. Tho latter will probably securo an Inter
national Leaguo franchise, and regardless of tho fact that tho team will be
alternating with a major leaguo club In tho same city, It should bo a stronghold
r for Barrows' league, ns thero la a great deal of Interest In tho Internationals
1 In New York.
Barney Dreyfus Last to Be Won Over
That Pittsburgh will not bo Included and that Gwlnner will havo to bo taken
cans of by tho National Commission, Is duo to tho fact that Barney Dreyfuss,
one of tho last of tho major leaguo magnates to bo won over to tho peaco Idea,
would not stand for this ono concession. To satisfy Gwlnner ho has been given
SO days to closo negotiations for a major leaguo franchise, tho National Com
mission having placed a price on three franchises for tho PIttfed magnate.
Thero has been a lot of talk about It being a sweeping victory for organized
ball; and Just ns much that the National League made a sorry show of Itself In
seeking peace; Ban Johnson Is painted as a marvel for outgeneraling tho Feds,
and many other unkind things havo been said about tho whole scheme, but It Is
unjust. Nobody Is getting the worst of it. Tho baseball fans throughout tho
country aro tho gainers, while tho players will bo better off In tho end as an
organization, even if thoy aro compelled to accept smaller salaries after their
present contracts run out.
The Spoils Were Equally Divided
Organized ball received no more than It gave In tho peace pact. It Is satisfied
that the Feds have been absorbed with Its principal backers, who aro men likely
to strengthen any league, taken Into the fold, but at tho soma time tho men who
put their money into tho Feds aro getting full value for the money Invested
Into major league franchises. On tho faco of things this does not seem so cer
tain, but time will tell that story.
Tho National Leaguo is panned by New Yorkers and through news bureaus
In tho metropolis, because President Tener made himself unpopular by denying
to the host of scribes In tho lobby of tho Waldorf-Astoria that the National
League had reached a peace agreement with the Feds. The scribes Impressed
on Tener that tho story was in tho Philadelphia Evkshno Ledoeh and New
York Evening Sun, and they wanted the truth. Tener had no authority to talk
on tho subject, and told tho newspapermen that ithey would havo to go elsewhere
to find out out If Barney Dreyfuss was to depart for Chicago that night.
Tener Was "Roasted" by Scribes
Losing out on a good story caused tho scribes to roast Tener unmercifully
and unjustly. Had It not been for Tener and the National League, peaco
would havo been impossible. Ban Johnson la praised for being the last to glvo
In, and because he Is apparently giving less to the Feds, but It must also bo re
membered that he is getting less In return. Tho Federal Leaguo Is full of good
youug ball players who will play on important part in the future of the National
League, while the Americans, filled to overflowing with veterans, will get little
or nothing from the outlaws.
Tho National Leaguo listened to tho peaco overtures, and perhaps sought
peace, because It realized that the game would soon go into a decline If tho con
ditions which prevailed for tho laBt two years continued. Tho oldest leaguo in
the grand old game should be praised Instead of censured for Its attitude and
the part It played In the peace negotiations.
The same people who laughed and scoffed at the Evening ledger's exclusive
news of the early negotiations between the warring factions are now criticising
the National League for Its course. In another year they may be thinking
differently.
Josh Devore, chased from the major leagues by the Phillies two years ago,
Is going to try the Chalmers stunt of proving to Manager Moran that a mistake
was made In allowing him to drift out of the big Bhow. Devore was owner,
manager, captain and star player of the Chllllcothe team of the Ohio State League
last year, but would rather be a substitute in the major legues than a magnate
and star In the minors. Manager Moran thinks Devore Is still a great ball
player.

MOTORING McGUSTY HAPPY AS HE
PAYS $560 FOR A REAL "WARM BABY"
"She's Canary Yellow, "With Black Fenders and Red
Wheels," He Says, "Slim Built and No
Room for Mother-in-Law"
By MOTORING McGUSTY
A report from Chicago states that Charley Weeghman admits that he has not
actually purchased the Cubs, but has been assured that he will be allowed to do
o. If this Is the truth Weeghman la not aa smart in business as is believed,
because "double-cross" Is a favorite play In baseball politics.
Tho most disgusted man at the peaco meeting, when the announcement
was made that the Jumping players would be reinstated, was Owner Lannln,
of the Red Box. He paid J 12,000 for the release of Catcher Sam Agnew two
weeks ago, In times of peace Agnew would not be worth more than half
the amount, and It will also be an easy matter for a major league team to
Pick up a-first-class catcher from the Feds by merely taking over his contract.
Sam A. Huntley, of Omaha, Xcb., one
of the gientcst experts in the trap-shoot
ing panic In America, im amateur who
has won many of tho sport's highest
honor, and who Is regarded as one of
tlio Hardest men to beat at nny Kind or
match shooting, has Issued a challenge to
meet any shooter, amateur or profession
al, In a contest at 1000 targets for $1C00 a
side.
If tho wishes of certain Now York club
men are respected, a Pliltadclphian will
bo tho miin to meet Huntley; that Is, pro
vided this Quaker City Bhot mill give hia
consent to the match. Tho local mnn,
whom certain New Yorkers bellevo H
good enough to beat Huntley, Is Charles
II. Nowcomb, the secretary of tho In
dependent dun Club and tho Pennsyl
vania State champion and the holder o(
the national amateur championship title.
Ncwcomb Is without an equal nt
straight 18-yard shooting in this country,
though probably not mrlte so strong as
Huntley at handicap shooting or at dou
bles. On tho ordinary targets Ncwcomb
will average year In and year out better
than M per cent. In fact, this has been
the figure he has set up for several years.
He Is apparently now nt the top of his
shooting form. Last August he proved
this, when he entered tne national ama
teur championship at the Grand Ameri
can Handicap, an event open only to win
ners of State championships, nnd pitted
ngalnst the best men In America, broke
99 out of 100 In a high wind and won the
title.
It was Just after that performance that
Huntley Issued his ultimatum. Xobod)
accepted the dell at the time, though the
Now York cotcrlo promised. If possible,
to get a man to take part In the match
Newcomb was mentioned at that time,
but the Quaker City shot Is averse to
anything of this character and squelched
the Idea. However, the Now York men
are still keen for a chance at Huntley,
and may bo able to convince Newcomb
the next time the local star competes at
any of the traps about New York.
If the match Is arranged It will be shot
late In the spring at some central point,
or may be staged at tho time of one of
the largo handicaps, possibly at Memphis,
Tenn., during tho Southern Handicap, In
May. Both men will compete In the Mid
winter Handicap tournament at Plne
hurst, N. C. In the middle of January.
However, Huntley will not shoot the
match at that time, nor would any of the
other shots, as it is too early In the sea
son for them to be at their best.
An effort was made In the "West to get
either Bart Lewis, the former amateur
champion, now a professional, or Carles
Q, Spencer, one of tho greatest profes
sionals the game ever saw, or Lester
German, Into the match, but apparently
all efforts have failed.
SO.MIJ feller paid to mo once that used
cars were not nil they were cracked
up to be. That was before I bought tho
"Wnrm Baby" nnd hnd my llrst lesson.
The same feller told mo to get car-wlso
before I bought a car. Well, there's
poinetlilng In wlint ho says, but not every
thing. The trouhlo with tho "Warm

enn't bo done from rending nils and cata

In these rounds McCann stood out head

He would coolly step In with a straight left
to the face, and although Aubrey repeatedly
attempted to duck the blow, his efforts were
unsuccessful. McCann also experienced little
difficulty In hooking his left Into the slender
Welshman's face. In the third round McCann
started Aubrey's nose bleeding, and before the
close of the contest the "stream of life" was
flowing so freely from the Welshman's nostrils
that bis face was cover.! with blood.

When he first took me around to his

ply pointed at her and said:
"Ain't she a beaut? That's the best

took me across the street and bought me
a cigar. Not another peep out of him for
thieo days, when he showed up at tho
store and took me around to see her
again. This tlmo he says;
"Beaut, ain't she?" That's all he'd
talk about her that day. I wanted to
ask questions about whether r not she
had a magneto or carb'retter and certain
other fixings you read of In the cata
logues, liut nothing doing with Smith
son. He bought me another cigar and
talked eggs. As eggs Is my line, of course
I was there.
He had me sold on the third time out,
and I don't believe he'd talked over M
words on car. The third time I went with
him to look her over he simply said,
"Hummer, nin't she?"
"She sure Is," I said, and I was gone.
You see she's canary yellow, with black
fenders and red wheels, all glossy fresh
enamel; the upholstery Is real leather
and there's considerable brass on her
that shines high. 'When he named 1360
as the price it sounded cheap. To a

By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL
' Dr. Carl S. Williams, football strategist
of tho University of Pennsylvania and
coach of tho backflcld last year, has
contributed an article for the current
number of tho Bed and Blue, Pennsjlvn
nla's Illustrated monthly magazine, on
"A Football Team In tho Making." Al
though referring only Indirectly to diffi
culties on Franklin Field last season.
Doctor Wllllnms Infers that under condi
tions which existed no championship
team could havo been produced this fall.
He boldly predicts that next fnll Penn
sylvania will bo In tho running for chnm
plonshlp honors.
Doctor Wllllnms blnmcs tho October
schedulo for most of Pennsylvnnla's mis
fortunes. "More than ono good team has
been ruined bylts mnnngcr or thoughtless
coach," says Doctor Williams. "To point
a team for a severo game In October, ex
pecting to do it ngaln lato In November,
Is nearly always fatal at the later date.
Yet not to do so may also bo fatal, as
Harvard found In tho Cornell gnme this
year. Only by a carefully Igraduated
schedule can a good team even with
safety be carried through a successful
season.
"What moro ridiculous for a green team
than Pennsylvania's October schedule this
season, when both State and Pittsburgh,
two veteran teams of the first rank, wore
played, risking the physical condition as
well ns tho moralo of Inexperienced
players?"
Line Came Through
Doctor "Williams also explains why with
a green line and a green backfield the
lino "camo through" on time nnd the
backfield did not. On this point he says:
"Inasmuch as In the line each man has
but one thing to do, nnd does this over
and over again, n successful line of
scrimmage with proper men and proper
coaching can be produced In a singlo sea
son, ns was demonstrated at Pennsylva
nia this year. Lucky Is the coach who can
find In a single season a genera, a Quar
terback, a man who possesses all those
peculiar qualities which go to make n
leader, to drive this team, to select Its
plays and use them nt the proper time.
This Is a matter of inspiration and ex
perience rather than of coaching."
Although not mentioning any Individ
uals by name, Doctor Williams Is under
stood to be referring to his disappoint
ment In his various quarterback candi
dates In the following passage:
"Some men are uncoachable If treated
on general principles. The presence of
others may be a positive detriment to a
team. Ono disorganizer can ruin the
morale of a whole squad If he be not dis
ciplined or eliminated. Sometimes, when
all but too late, one whom you havo
trained for a position and learned to
count on at a critical time U found to
lack courage to fall under fire."
Followers Expected Too Much
In proof of his contention, expressed
several times during the season, that
followers of the team expected too much
of them, Doctor Williams says:
"A study of the past discovers the fact
that every really good team, without ex
ception, had as a nucleus at least seven
or eight so-called veterans upon It good
men developed In their individual play,
familiar with each other, the system of
play, the coaches and with discipline."
Doctor Williams concludes with the fol
lowing prediction concerning the 1916 sea
son; '
"If the theory taught at Pennsylvania
during the last season has been correct;
if the coaching staff has been efficient,
with the abundance of good and expe
rienced players returning to college in
1916, then above are the reasons why
Pennsylvania football teams should once
moro be In the running for championship
honors."
