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

Why Did the Baseball Monnrcha
Reinstate Players of the

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.

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.
