Expect Somen Will Keep Cleveland Club CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 24. The financial nfTairs of Charles W. Somers, owner of tho Cleveland baseball club, have been so im proved by the declaration of pence in the baseball world and recent de velopments in his other interests that Somers is considered certain to retain the ball club. It is cx pected thnt he will be well cleared of his obligation during the coming: year. The cominp of President Ban Johnson, of the American League-, to Cleveland next week is expected to lead to the acquisition of players which will give tho Indians a bet ter club in 1916. WAS THEIR CHARITY BUSINESS OR THEIR BUSINESS CHARITY? Why Did the Baseball Monnrcha Reinstate Players of the Late Lamented Fed eral League EBBETS' FAMOUS BONE By KRYTIC What an Inspiring picture I drawn for .he Mere Public! The Monarchal of Hase ball gathered around the pcaco board, all hands so saturated with the Christ mas spirit thnt a mngnanlmous measure Is pascd to forglvo the wicked Federal League bal player and let him go to work provided ho Is a good drawing card. We nro not prepared to deny that tho Monarchs wero saturated with Christ mas spirit. Mayhap they wero bubbling over with It, but their business acumen and wisdom survived. Therfore they lifted the ban from the Federal Icaguo placr even the Jumper. The Christmas spirit did not figure. it Is difficult to see what other course the gentlemen could have taken, either from a business or an ethical stand point. It certainly would have been poor business on the pnrt or the organized forces to have allowed such stars as Knurf, I,oe Magce, Joe Tinker, Daven port and half n doen others, to slide through their lingers. ntlilenllr. the monnrrhs Iiml nn rlimu'c t iln utliiTTtNc than tlirj- illil, Aftrr breaming, hoc hlimmj with hr I'edrrnt l.cnuur innKnntri thnt hry nrr ullonliipr Home of thrm to Initt Into the orannltntlnn, tliry could not very yrrM hnrpoon tile men mlio were Indiicril to Jump by the men they ere dolus iMmlneMR ivlth.

How Kbbctts Helped It Is Interesting to note that chief among those who declared against tho Jumpers wns Charlie Hbbctts. With sublime Indifference to baseball history and his own fumouH bone, which put the Independents on tho baseball map, the Ilrooklyn Impresario has, all along, had his hammer out for all who had any thing to do with the Federals. It will bo recalled that In the early spring of 1014 the Federals wore on the ropes, gasping for breath. The organized players had shown no disposition to take u chunce with the new league, despite the great rolls of wealth temptingly Hashed before their faces. At that time Joe Tinker and Hbbctts were dickering over a question as to salary. Tinker had been traded from Cincinnati, where ho had held tho posi tion of manager, to Brooklyn, and he had expressed himself as being convinced that It was a proper tlmo to Increase his yearly stipend. For a time the wires wero hot with messacea from Tinker to Kbbetts and lco versa, and It was offi cially ui ranged that the two should meet and arrange things. Tinker polished up nil his best argu ments and appeared on time, but Ebbetts did not. Instead, he delegated Wilbur Robinson to turn Tinker down by phone. Joseph took the first train for Chicago, and within a few hours his nnme was amxed to a Federal League contract. The news wnH flnaheil oier the coun try, nnd therrnfter the FedernU were taken arrloualy. They had signed Joe Tinker, nnd other plnyern noon fol lowed. What wtm kooiI enough tor Tinker miN nod ruouich for them. The Independent!! were Riven n new leaac of life, nnd all lieenuae Chnrlle Uhbettr failed to realise thnt he could not bluff n man of Tinker's claas. They Are Killing the Game Countless times during the recent base ball bedlam the suffering public has been told that the awful war was wrecking the sport. "They are killing the game." "This conflict Is disastrous" have become household phrases. All of which Is true In a sense. The fact of tho matter, however, Is that the publicity given the war proved almost disastrous to the game, and not the war Itself. The war was an evil that had to be endured. Every business venture that In volves millions of dollars will so through periods of competitive conflict. Only In the baseball business, however, Is the suffering public saddled with all the sordid details. Levinsky la Confident NEW YORK.
