P
THE signing of Fred Mitchell to lend th Chlcano Cubs next season, nnd tho
Increasing probability Hint twonty.flvecenl sent would be virtually extinct
in Nntlonnt lingua ball parks liext season, were tho outstanding feature of
ihe day In and about tho nnnual winter conclavo of the club owners of tho
Tenor orgnlzatlon In Now York yesterday.
From tho tlmo Mitchell apreed to Wccglimnn's ofter, CleorRO 8tnllln;s, man
Ber of the Boaton llrnves, with which club Mitchell haw been a power In tho
role, of coach for several years, hounded the Chlcnco tniiRnato nnd showered
him with Impossible demands. Outflolder Cy Williams, nnd n goodly sum, In
addition. In what Mailings naked for the exact release of Mitchell In his dicker
ing with Weeghman, mailings ntl but Muted that Mitchell, nnd not Htnlllngs
yna the "mlrn'clo man" of bawbnll In 1914, nnd that Mitchell, rather tlinn Htnll
Incs, wan tho brain of the Hub club nt nil timet.
Shortly before midnight Weeflhmnn nnd fitnlllncs went Into conference In
tho former' room nt the Waldorf, Tho prospoct were for n prolonged ses
Ion between tho pair, and It wan n 1C to-1 shot thnt Rtnlllmtit would como down
(n his demands In tho end to such nn extent that tho announcement of MltcheH's
election to lead tho Cubi would not bo forthcoming until today, Ktnnk Clinnco
Insisted on n. mere 125,000 salary and generously declined In mUnnre to ncccpt
any bonus for leaving his Tactile Coast Lcagua club Mat on Itn back. Chnuco'n
ohanco went when ho named tho salary.
Baker Leads Antt-Twcnty-Fivc-Ccnl Seal movement
WIMjIAM F, lUICEIt, l'hllly ownor, Is nt tho hend of tho movement for
virtual elimination of tuonly-nvo-ccnt admissions to Nntlonnl I,onguo games.
Baker has 6000 of tho sun seats nt his bandbox Mrs. llrltton has something
like 10,000, Tho proposition was scheduled to bo put to n vote today.
The two bit boards will not bo dono nway with entirely, but In nil Nntlonnl
League, parks whora t hoy "at 111 aro to be found which means about halt of tho
cities Which constitute, tho league tho cheap bleacher ncoommoditlons will be
reduced to n minimum to n few hundred In all probability.
Ncta Baseball War Is a Possibility
fTlUE likelihood of n now bnsebnll war Is demanding no menu consideration
at this more or loss rtp-roarlng convention of tho National Leaguers. Tho
International Lcngue, backed up by the American Association, and, It nctually
seems, tho American League, has refused point blank to pay tho JD000 assessment
against tho Newark club, which, Incidentally, Tom Nccdham, the veteran catcher,
Who got his start In St. Louis, will mannga next year.
Sinclair, the oil magnato nnd Federal Lcnguo backer, who still Is holding
the bag for n largo part of that $600,000 which organized baseball was to pay
tho Federal League for Its part In tho trcnty of 1016, has been at tho National
Leaguo confab and has been paying partlqular attention to retaining his stand
ing with tho various managers In attendance
New Major League Predicted
T Unite nro thoso who predict a now "outlaw" major league In 1918. Wo "
would not go so far. But thoro Is plenty of reason to look for n soccsslon
of the class AA leagues nnd, possibly, tho smaller allied circuits boforo thnt time,
If not for a rupturo of relations betweon the National and American bodies. To
add to tho muddlo thoro Is tho question of tho third member of tho national
commission. Srayfus Is raising n largo fuss over Hermann because of tho
Staler matter nnd on other points, nnd ho hns soma support In his own organiza
tion as well ns in Ban Johnson's looguo. Ono thing Is nssured- If you tnko It
from Ed Barrow, International League chief, that $9000 will not bo paid, ccn
If tho Eastern AA group tins to go out of existence.
Miller Hugglns Wants Dooin
i
ODDLY enough, Miller Hugglns, whllo easily the most sought aftor man who
lias roamed Peacock Alley this winter, Is not nuch a powor In tho Cardinal
organization as It had been conceded. Ho had somo offers of trades In Now York
yesterday, but Instoad of giving his own answer outright, nn ho usunlly did In tho
days when Schuyler Brltton was tho St. Louis National Leaguo Baseball Club's
president, Hugglns took tho propositions to Mrs. Brltton for consideration.
Hugglns offered Charlo Dooln a job ns catcher noxt yoar. That wns tho
sixth offer Charley had rocolvcd ulnco ho put In lift appearance.
Tinker Qeatincd for a Minor Berth
WITH Mitchell nt the holm of tho Chicago Cubs, the fnns of tho Illinois metrop
olis nro wondering what will becomo of Joo Tinker. It Is very likely that
In the changes that have taken placo In tho Amorlcan Association, tlicro will
bo a number of vacnncles In tho managerial ond of tho gamo. Lnrry Lajola In
said to bo looking for a placo In that organization and tho chances nro that Joo
Tinker will soon be doing tho same thing, If ho has not already seon tho hand
writing on tho wall nnd begun his search for a job at the helm of a minor
league club. v
Tinker In soma ways Is n valuable man for n baseball club. Ha was In
valuable to the old Cub combination, but ho probably would not have been ns
good-undor any other manager as he was under Frank Chance. Chanco was
and Is the typo of leader that can handle the roughest customers In tho game.
Ho handled Tinker, Evors and Helno Zimmerman, all nt ono foil swoop. That
Is a managerial feat In itself that has nover been beaten and probably will
never be equaled.
But to got back to Tinker, It Is not likely that any major league club will
want his services ns n, player, because ho has almost passed the ngo limit of
efficiency on the Held. Tinker himself would not stand for bolng bossed by n
minor leaguo manager, consequently the only thing ho can do Is to got the
managership of a minor leaguo or quit baseball. It would not bo bad for tho
game If ho did tho latter.
Weeghman Wants a Winning Club
CHARLES AVEUailMAN, owner of Chicago restaurants and the CubH, is
anxious for a winning basoball club. Ho thought when he entered Into the peace
agreement with organized baseball that hn was going to hnve a club that would
have no trouble In capturing the National League pennant. Ho based his hopes
on the fact that ha had tho cream of tho Federal Leaguo, which he did have,
and tho Chicago National League club of 1915, out of which to construct n
victorious team. Ha did have a great baseball nucleus, but Joe Tinker, whom
ho choso for his manager, was not equal to tho occasion. In fact, ho was not
even close to being equal to the said occasion. The Cubs finished In sixth placo
although they were winners, on paper, In March.
These sad facts led Weeghman to seek a. cause for his failure. Ho decided,
and very properly, that ttie cause was the manager. Therefore when the time
came to sign a man Who ho believed would All the bill, tho famous feeder
looked upon Fred Mitchell, late of tho Boston Braves, and declared that he was
good.
According to tho latest reports, Mitchell has not actually signed his con
tract, but ho has agreed to everything that the contract will contain nnd tho
matter of signing now Is merely a formality, Mitchell has a thorough working
knowledge of the game, nnd If ho proves to bo tho success au a manager that he
was as a receiver, he will make good In the Windy City.
De Neri's Finish Unfortunate
r IB extremely unfortunate thnt the owners of tho Do Nerl Eastern Basket
ball League team could not have held on throughout the season. Naturally
no ono can blamo a man or an organization for not continuing anything at a
financial loss. Nevertheless, It Is difficult to seo ho.w thqDe Nerl cub could
liave begun the season with the expectation of making a campaign of it If they
really believed they could not accomplish the feat. In other words, quitting cold
la Just about the expression that fits the action of those at the head of the
Do Nerl management.
Philadelphia fans will never have tho same confidence In the teams of the
Eastern League now that Do Nerl has displayed the white feather In such bold
and unabaahtd fashion. That Philadelphia could not support three clubs In tho
league Js absurd. The Quaker City could have distributed the six Eastern League
franchises throughout Philadelphia County and kept It running at high speed,
provided the teams were high grade. But De Nert was not a flrst-cluss team
and therefore went under. .
If Allentown hopes to stay In the Eastern League, the team representing it t
must bo greatly strengthened or the franchise will again be on the market at a '
nominal figure.
Jrtt Thomas Soon Will Take Up Coaching Duties
IT NOW Is only a matter of a few weeks until Ira Thomas, one of Connie Mack's
chief aids, will take up his duties as coach of the Williams College nine. Law
rence Perry, writing In the JJew York Evening Post, says:
"Jra P. Thomas, who has been chosen by the Athletic Council to coach the
Williams baseball team during the coming season, has had experience In the
baseball world which has given him a thorough knowledge of the game and pe
culiarly has fitted him to cqaoh a college team. He has played on six champion
hjn nines, and during his term with the Athletics personally has helped In tho
achooHo of many men who since have become star major league players. In his
lat two years with the Athletics Thomas was more of a lieutenant and coach
thtw a pUyw. Connie Maak, the manager, turned hi young players, many of
tbH coHegtans, iver tp him ffT development, He has had rare success In taking

Wants to Meet Dundee
Gibson took time to d'ony tho stories pub
lished In the last few dn that Leonard
had sidestepped a bout with Johnny Dun
doe In Kansas City after negotiating with
the promoters nut there Billy says ho had
no dealings with tho Knns.is City people
and the match noor wns nrrnnged Ho la
willing to meet Dundee nny place, prefer
ably New Orleans, where they can battlo
for twenty rounds to n decision IIo de
clares Leonard Is one of tho best long-dls-tnnce
boxers In tho world today and Is Im
proWng In each fight
Leonard Is preparing for n strenuous
camnalgn next ear. but tho Welsh bout
In Ilnnava i the ono most desired. Ilenny
Is confident he can deferit tho chmnpton,
and George Kngle, his trnlncr. shares this
belief In hli two buttles with Freddy
Leonard demonstrated that he wns hli
equal In cleverness nnd possesses a harder
punch In a long battle Welsh would be
at a disadvantage
Made $45,000 in Year
Ilenny has been nmnng the topuotchers
for only one year, but In that tlmo has
made JUO0O. On December 17, 1915. be
was matched to meet Jne Mandnt In New
York On the night nf the battlo Man
dot's manager raised a terrible bowl about
the bandages Leonard wus using and forced
him to take them off Despite this, how.
ever. Benny walloped Mandnt on the chin
nnd put him awny for keeps Then came
charges and counter-charges by both sides,
the principal argument being whether or
not Ilenny wore a horseshoe In his k1ob
for good luck. This battle made Ionard
a big drawing card, and he came oer
here last New Year's Day nnd stopped
Joe Welsh. He afterward flattened Jimmy
Murphy, and otter that, under Gibson's
skillful guidance, Jumped to the foremost
rank among tho lightweights.
Gibson believes his man will be cham
pion of the world If he mts Welsh In a
long-dlstanco brawl, He will not hold out
for any special weight, nnd If tho Havana
scrap I arranged Freddy may enter the
ring weighing ISO pounds, provided the
lightweight championship Is at stake.
