WEEGHMANN FORGES ISSUE ,
AND OTHER MAGNATES WILL
OVERWORK "INELIGIBLE LIST'3
Chicago Owner Gains Point in Clash With Pres
ident Tener, Who Admits That Disability
Clause Covers Case
rpiB 21-player limit lulo which N In effect In the National League has caused
J. the row which was ptedlcteil. nnd tho absurd clauso which permits teams
to dodge complying with this rulo hag been uphold. The show-down came when
Charles "Wecghman.Wner of tho Chicago Cubs, dcclaied that ho would not cut
his team to confoim with tho 21-player limit, claiming that the peace agreement
pave him permission to carry as many players as ho wanted.
President Tener Insists that the 21-player limit must bo enforced, but add")
that the Cubs can carry' as many playeis ns they want, providing that nil men
over the list of 21 regulars nro placed on the "disability" list. In other winds,
Tener and tho sponsors of tho rule won n moral victory, but Weeghman carried
' his point.
Whllo It Is true that tho peace agreement gave the Cubs permission to
carry more than the required number of playeis, other clubs will continue to
take advantage of.the ineligible list Just ns they did In 1916. It stands to reason
that no team wants more than 21 players ollglblo for each game, and so long
as they can put a phner who Is In poor shape or a promising youngster not
likely to bo called upon often on the Ineligible list, by giving tho league 10 days'
notice, each club will carry all tits men It wants.
As the object of the rule was to curb extravagance nnd to prevent a
etrong team from holding extra men who might bo desired for regular positions
on weaker teams. It Is not hard to see that tho oxorworked Ineligible list makes
the 21-player limit rule valueless
Miserable Pitching Made Mackmen Look Had
Tho Athletics did not look vary good jestordny, but neither will any team when
Its pitching Is as poor as that shown by Uube Dressier and Morrlsette. Bressler
was responsible for tho Yankees walking away with such an easy victory, and It
was not nlone his failuic to get tho ball over tho plate or fool Donovan's men
that caused 'his downfall.
Tho first thing every pitcher tlinuM learn Is fielding his position. One nt the
most lmpoitant duties in this department Is covering first base on balls hit to tho
right side of the diamond. If tho second baseman Holds tho ball, It Is up to the
pitcher to back up the throw, while when tho llrst baspmnn takes tho ball he
should take tho thiow at first.
Yesterday Biessler gave tho Yankees four runs In the fifth Inning because ho
failed to cover tho bag on ISakerV drive, which bounded orf Mclnnis' hand straight
to Lajolo. Two men were out a, the time, with Ollhooley on first. linker's hit
was a terrific smash, which Mclttntst was lucky to knock down, but Larry had the
ball In time to letlie Baker by 2."i tuut If Dressier h:id coveted the bag. Instead of
being at first Dressier was standing In the centio of the diamond watching tho
play.
Uressler's Failure to Coer First Was Costly
Cedeon then drew a pass, filling the bases. Plpp scored Gllhooley and Baker
vrlth a double and Gedeon :nd I'ipp scoied on Nunamnker's slnglo after Peckln
paugh had walked. If Breisler had cm oral llrst base, tho side would havo been
rotlred without a run, and It Is by no means certain that ho would havo got
himself Into another hole, as he pitched well from tho llrst to the fifth inning.
Morrlsette, who relieved IJi easier, was wild and ineffective, permitting the
Yankees to tally three runs In the last four Innings. Otherwise, tho game might
have beoi made interesting by tho late rally of the Mackmen, who bunched a
homo run, two triples and a single for four tuns In the List two Innings.
Scribes Claim Phils Have Joined "Kiding" Club
Let us hope the Phillies turn over a new leaf and do not enter the class of
the Boston Braves, who mudo themselves tho most unpopular champions In the
history of tho game through their "ildlng" of opposing players and rowdyism
In general. Tho latter Is something Which Manager Moian will not tolerate, but
Judging by reports from tho three cities In which the Phillies havo played and
from a few fans who sit behind the Phllly bench at home, tho now champions
Bra becoming ns proficient at "riding" as the Braves weie last year.
No one blames Eddie Burns and Manager Moian for being put off the Held
ill Boston, as it is a line occurrence for a Phllly player to be put out of tho
game. But they should not lose sight of the fact that ono of tho main reasons
why they won the pennant last year was that they paid strict attention to busi
ness and kept away from the umpires, while several of the Braes spent a great
deal of time on tho bench owing to suspensions.
Umpire Rlgler Needs Xn Defender
After the Phillies had been beaten by the Braves in Boston seveial of Moran's
men are said to have declared that Umpire Itlgler was deliberately "throwing
It Into them" because he wanted to see Biooklyn win the pennant, as Rlgler was
lr the employ of the Dodgeis at Daytona rebuilding the ball park this spring.
Such a thing Is ridiculous, and we hope that Boston scribes who claim tho Phils
made remarks of this nature aro stretching the point.
Rlgler 1h ono of tho fairest and most competent umplies In the game and his
Integrity has never been questioned. When ball players start making charges
of this sort they are questioning tho honesty of the game, and should bo made
to prove their charges or publicly apologize.
Miss Palmer's Throw Starts Argument
A few days ago Miss Gladys Palmer, of Oak Park, 111., a coed at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, thiew a baseball 217 feet t! Inches, whleh Is claimed as
a record for tho fair sex. This toss started many arguments relative to the
throwing records for both sexes. Several years ago a Miss Peale, of this city,
threw a ball at least 270 feet at one of tho local country clubs. A year ago she
pitched for the women against the men nnd won her game. There are other
famous throwers of the fair sex. Miss Carrlo Moer, the famous pitcher from
Macungie, Pa., who once twirled against the Phillies in an exhibition game,
claims to have thrown a ball more than 100 yards, and ono who has seen her
play ball does not dcuibt that she accomplished the feat.
There is no doubt as to the throwing, record for men. A mark which had
been looked upon as the world's record since 1S72 was shattered In the field day
for major league clubs held at Cincinnati on October 10, 1910, when Sheldon
Lejeune. a minor leaguer, throw the sphere 42G feet fi',4 Inches. The old recoul
was 400 feet 7Vs Inches. It was made by John Hatlleld nt Brooklyn, October 15,
1872. Lejeune was given a trial by Pittsburgh last spring, but was released to
Sioux City, of the "Western League, where he Is still playing. Lejeune Is a won
derful minor league player, but has never shown anything but a powerful arm
In major league tanks.
Last Friday tho EvE.vixq Lsdqbb denied that Watt, of Columbia, would Join
the Mackmen In June. Watt coi-oborated this statement yesterday by declarlns
that he had not signed with any team and did not Intend to until he graduated
from Columbia in June. At the same time, wo mentioned that Mack had picked
up a wonderful youngster In Lowry, tho Maine inflelder, according to the travel.
Ing salesman who predicted Witt would be a tegular. Lowry will report here
Rtter the Mackmen return from the West.

Blue Athletes Look Strong
er Than Tigers for Games
Next Saturday
STRONG IN FIELD EVENTS
Uy TKD MEREDITH
The Penn-Columbia game yesterday resulted In one of the greatest pitching
duels of the college season. The game was palled at the end of the 16th inning
with the score tied at 2-all. Judging by the way Splelman, of Penn, and Smith,
of Columbia, were pitching, the teams might have battled on for many more
Innings without a score If darkness had not interened. Columbia had won seven
straight games prior to yesterday and none of their opponents had even given
them a close game.
The protest of the University of Pennsylvania crew" men at the quality of
food served them nt the training table is the climax of a year in which athletics
at Penn were handled worse than at any time In the long history of the Red
and Blue In athletics. It Is hoped that the board of directors throws asldo
prejudice and forgets favorites in selecting tho new graduate manager of ath
letics, so that many things which have occurred In the last year will not be re
peated. Again we nominate Byron Dickson as the most capable candidate.
Fielder Jones pulled a "Merkle" yesterday and gave the White Box a. vic
tory. After Eddie Plank had relieved Park Jn the Beventh inning and stopped a
rally, Jones pulled the southpaw from the mound for a pinch hitter In the last
half of the same Inning, despite the fact that the Browns enjoyed a two-run
lead at the time. Wellman was sent to the mound in the next inning and the
White Sox proceeded to bat out a victory in the ninth. If Jones had been con
tent 'With a two-run lead and allowed the steady Plank to remain on the mound,
Jt was a JO-to-1 shot that the Browns would have won.
The Yale-1'rlneeton ilti.il meet, which
will bo held In .Vow Hmon on Saturday,
looks to bo the most Interesting meet of
that clay. These two teams are more
evenly matcheil than the others who are
scheduled to clash Cornell will, in my
opinion, hae an easy time with Harvard,
and PcnnaylMinla will win from Dart-
motitn
Yale's team Is n well-balanced one, hav
ing men In nearly ccry event Because
of this, I think Yale should win , but she
will havo to use nil her best in order
to beat tho Tigers
In tho sprints Yalo has Tieatlway. who
will beat any one from Princeton In the
100 and probably in the 220 ards. Prince
ton will use Captain Billy Moore In these
events. I Imagine, nnd should they do so
1 think lie will make Trenrtway lie content
with second in tho furlong.
Few Quarter JUHers
alo has not any good quarter rollers
this year. Tho loss of Wllkle hv gradua
tion nnd Orr, who loft college after mld
jear, has left them without a first-class
man In this eent
Princeton Is, on the other hand, very
strong In tho quaitor, as the one-mile re
lay racing this winter has doveloped fcv
eral good men I do not know who they
will use In this event, but I suppose It
will be Richardson. Kildv nnri Wnii,...
This trio should easily win tho first three
places.
The half-mllo will be Yale's event in
which to do some heavy scoring, as tlv
Klis hae been specializing on this race
all winter and h.-ne four good men. rer
ton Is the best of the bunch and should
win both the half and mile against Prince-
".v. T. w"! Ket a pIace for Trlnceton
in the half anil ho looks like the only one
who will.
Strong in Field Events
Yale will be exceptionally strong In the
field events Oler will win the high Jump
and broad Jump. Brown Is a good man
in tne weights and Xngle. JohnBtone and
puck, who cleared 12 feet last Saturday
In the polo vault, make them look better
than Princeton In this department
If Overton runs the mile and half mile
there will not be a good man in the two
mllo run So this event looks like either
team s race at present.
Princeton will scoie heavily in the
hurdles, rrnwfoid is a good man over
both the high and low sticl.s. Yale has
lost Liesenring. duo to Injury, and Is
weakened considerably In these two
events.
In the hammer-throw Princeton has two
good men in Norse and Oeutter. The other
Princeton men who wll show well In the
field e ems are Davy; who has cleared
six feet In the high Jump, and Carey, who
has a record of 12 feet 3 inches In the pole
vault.
Evenly .Matched
Summing up the aIuo of these two
teams. I thtnk they are pretty evenly
matched Yalo has a good bit on Prince-
mil in me iieia. wntle i think Princeton
will score heaviest on the track. The odds
are with Yale, however, and Ell should
win
The strength of these two teams in the
Intercollegiate will not be the same as In
the dual meets. Yale has a better team
In my opinion for tha intercolleglates.
Their good men are much beter than
Princeton's good men. I mean that Yale
has a number of sure points in the Inter
colleglates. while some of Princeton's men
may not place, and If they do, not well up
toward tho front
Franklin Field Gossip
A new list of men on tha training table
will be posted today, at Franklin Field
The men on this list will bo the ones who
are most likely to go to the intercolle
States on May 26 or 27.
Coach Orton and Assistant Coach Rob
ertson will spend their time from now on
only on these men. The rest of the can
didates will have to come out before tha
varsity squad In order to get proper coach
ing, for at the present time training the
varsity is all that these men can do and

watching tho Podunk team nt piny. Ho
saw two slugging outfielders come up nnd
get four lilts each, Including thrco home
runs, three triples and a double. Yet It
was easy enough to see that tha great
scout was distinctly depressed.
"I'll let you have thoso two fellows
pretty cheap," said tho Podunk manager.
"They aro both great hitters. If they,
don't bat .400 In tho big league you
needn't pay a cent."
"Great hitters," said Jllke, "we don't
want any more hitters. V'e already havo

At Popvillo City Klynn wat even more
peoved ami annoyed. While hero ho only
saw a young pitcher who had a tilde moio
speed than Walter Johnson, better contiol
than Mttthewson and a great curve.
"I'll guarantee this pitcher is tinhlt
tnhle," said tho owner. "If he doesn't win
forty games out of fort5"-flvo starts you
get your money back. And tho prlco Is
only $500."
"I wouldn't give you fifty cents." Mike
answered. "He's a great pitcher, all right,
but we've niieady got fho or six about
as good."
Chapter Three
Mike paused at Squashtovvn for a day
and therp he saw an Inflelder who could
outrange Wagner, Mnranvllle and Collins
tossed Into one heap. This youngster ac
cepted 19 chanceH without a slip, got four
hlt3 and stole live bases.
"You can take him for $100," said tho
owner "I can't use him," tho penut bald.
"All he ean do Is field, hit, throw nnd run.
Tho market Is glutted with this kind."
Chapter Four
Finally, after a five-week hike, Flynn
found the man ho was after. He promptly
hurried homo to report the great dis
covery.
, "What kind of a batter Is he?" asked
his manager.
"He couldn't fall off a steamboat and
hit the water." replied the Bcout.
"Great fielder, I guess," tho manager
said.
"Nothing like It," Mike admitted. "He
couldn't catch fish If they were con
tagious." "Great arm then, and a lot of speed?"
the manager queried.
"Neither," replied the scout. "He never
played two, ball games In his life, but he
is a bear if I ever taw one. But they
want $50,000 for him and he wants
$20,000 a year."
Chapter Five
"Nothing doing," tha manager snorted
(try that on your snortery). "I wouldn't

"Ty Cobb?" said the scout. "Well, I
