Latest Blow to Frat Virtually Makes Walkout Im

Chance to Win Golf Championship
TA.VE FULT55 should call off his threatened baseball nlrlko until noxt winter
'-'nnd then BttiKO a double-header. The Inlrst wtllon handed to tho proposed walk
out camo from tho American Federation of l,nbor, when It was nnnounccd that
nothing had boon dono to tho application of tho fraternity for recognition nnd
tho matter would not bo taken tip until tho next mccthiB of tho exceutlvo com
mittee which Is to bo held on April 20. By that tlmo tho baseball season will bo
In full swing, tho preliminary training finished and tho players' names nulled to
their contracts, silencing them until tho next meeting of tho hot stovo leaguo In
tho winter of lots. And many things can happen before 101S rolls nroltnd. In
tho meantime, tho magnates nro collecting n Hock of contracts nnd nro prepared
to start tho season when tho first games aro called on Wednesday, April 11. All
of tho American I.eaguo stars nro tinder contract and tho others nro expected to
fall Into lino. Even Dick Iloblitzell signed up with tho licet Smc when ho learned
that Gardner had accopted terms. In tho National heaguo there nro salary differ
ences between sorao' of tho players nnd tho magnates, but theso nro expected to
bo straightened out before It comes tlmo to leavo for tho training camps. Tim Alex-ander-Bnkor
discussion Is tho most serious, as neither sldo eccins willing to yield.
Howover, as Alex is too valuable a man to bo n I lowed to drift, It In prwlhlo that tho
Phillies will como closo to meeting tho big tuirler's terms. Thus It can bo seen
that tho fraternity has nothing to do with this hold out.
In Which Golfer Fowncs May Connect
A MONO tho classic figures of nnclont and modern history who will fling onldo tho
XX toga nnd enter tho Jousting for tho next nmateur golf championship of tho
Land of tho Free, with n chnnco to stnnd In front, ono "mil" Fownc? Is not with
out merit. Tho tournnmont will bo held over tho Oakniont Country Club Unk3,
located at tho end of a long hilt lending out of tho widely known harnlot of Ilulton,
Pa. "Widely" known because ono hundred million United States citizens ltnvo
given It a wldo berth. But William Fowncs knows tho Oakniont golf layout so
well that ho is ablo to distinguish presto, which Is nn overnight blado of crnb grass
nnd which is that which has been with tho links since tho day before. That is to
say, ho talks, thinks, drcam3, plays, lives Oakmont.
William Plotted the New Course
""DILL" Is tho golfer who Is, In tho main, rcsponslblo for nil tho chnngoq now
-' being mado on the course. Each new shot Is tho child of his headpiece. Ho
has studied tho possibilities of tho courso for years. He known tho rcslstnnco of
f hl3 pits, ho knows tho shot.i from his fairways; no radio-Indicator need flash him
his distances, his carries, his stops. Ho knows whero to let go nnd whero to cut
'em dead. Ho understands better than any other gladiator who will bo In tho going
in August Just where tbo ball must bo landed for tho scorccard IC. O. And tho
unhappy thought to tho other tltlo coppers elect Is that tho skillful William Is n
golfer fully ablo to "call" most of Ills shots; that la, plnco them somewhere In tho
region ho wants to. Under tho now reglmo of Oakmnnt trapping tho golfor will
Iiavo to "play tbe pits." He must tako advantage of tho hazards or bo left among
tho nick of starters who "would have" qualified except for faulty tallying.
Fowncs holds tho old courso record with a 71. Ho Is champion of Pennsyl
vania. Ho slaughtered all tho opposition for tho gold medal of tho qualifying round
of tho Morion national nnd ho has won tho mcilnl in nnothcr national. "Bill"
Fowncs was a former Amorlcnn champion. Ho administered n. great licking to
Francis Oulmet Just before tho much-discussed American idol wns made n pro.
Tho next day Fownojj gavo Travcrs, tho then United States open chnmplon, an
uncomfortable Journey and almost trounced tho worthy Jerry. All of which Is In
support of tho point that Fowijcs Is still very much "mittn up" in tho golf garno
as it Is played.
This, added to his knowledge of the courso, might not prove anything, but It Is
good dope, gcntlo reader, good dope.
Basketball Referees Win Hollow Victory
THE Eastern Leaguo referees who recently threatened to go on atrlko unless
their fees wero raised to $10 a gamo havo scored a victory as notablo no tho
one claimed by tho Germans after tho naval battlo off Falmouth. In their cuso tho
fruits of victory aro badly spotted. Tho Eastern Leaguo granted tho rnlso all
right, and In tho same- breath forbado their officiating In any basketball contests
outsldo of tho league. Tho referees In tho employ of the leaguo nre called upon to
work twico n week, which nets them some $20. a sum considerably less than they
realized under the old scalo with tho additional gold gathered In independent games.
Thcreforo It Is painfully evident that their victory ia ono with rovorso English,
back kick and recoil. It Is rather difficult to understand on what premises tho
basketball magnates tako such an arbitrary position. If tho movement would
in any way lend efficiency to tho work of tho officials It would certainly bo In
order and worthy of support, but ns It 13 apparently a!m!c3s It must bo listed as
ono of tho unnecessary hardships frequently Inflicted for no reason whatover by
the genus magnate.
Yale Is Taking No Chances in Early-Season Games
TrVD JONES intends to havo tho Yalo football team in flrst-clas3 shape for tho
thrco final games next fall. Instead of breaking up tho season with a couplo of
hard tlts, the EII coach has picked n bunch of toft opponents nnd dropped two of
tho stumbling blocks. Lehigh nnd Washington and Jefferson havo been relegated
to the discard and their places filled by Amherst and tho University of North
Carolina. Tho newcomers haven't set tho world nflro for soma tlmo nnd It Is not
likely that they will causa any upset this year. NorflT Carolina mot both Prince
ton and Harvard last season and emerged second best In each battle. Amherst
has been on tho down grade for several years nnd now can bo considered only as
practice material. Washington and Jefferson under Bob Folwell played n scoreless
tie and defeated Yalo twico In thrco years' running. Last year tho Bluo triumphed,
hence tho -vacant placo on the schedule. Lehigh played at Now Haven In 1010 nnd
1916, and although Yalo triumphed, both games woro close. In 1915 tho Bulldog
won by a single touchdown after ono of tho hardest gamos over played. It was
just as tough last fall.
Yale's action in dropping theso teams proves conclusively that good minor
college elevens will not bo recognized by tho larger Institutions. Tho big boys
are-not at all pleased when a practlco gamo Is converted into n btttor defeat, nnd
this will be avoided whenever possible. On tho Yalo schedule aro thrco teams
from tho South. Virginia, plays on October C, Virginia Poly on October 13 and
North Carolina on November 3. There are better teams tjian theso up in New
England, but thoy seem to be too good. Tufts, for example, has a fair cloven, nnd
Syracuse would be willing to tako a chance. Then, to get nearer homo, there is
the Rutgers crowd, eager, willing and anxious to play any team in tho world.
The dropping of Lehigh was qulto a blow to tho men of South Bethlehem, a3
It takes away one of the biggest games of the year. The Brown and Whlto cloven
has experienced some llttlo dlfllculty in arranging games with sultablo opponents
as all of the alleged "big" schools have politely but firmly turned them down. An
effort was made to arrango a gamo with Penn, but tho matter wan not considered.
There are hundreds of Lehigh alumni in Philadelphia nnd a tilt between the
elevens would bo quite popular. Swarthmoro, too, has turned down a request for
a game. And they are talking about big league "hold-outs"!
Mcadowbrook Meet Will Be Biggest of the Year
'A GOOD track meet is worth going miles and miles to seo, but strango as it may
XX seem, Phlladelphians havo only two chances each year to enjoy tlio snort
Each year the Meadowbrook Club stages an indoor meet in which all of tho noted
athletes of the land compete, and tho Penn relay carnival in the spring is the
other. On March 10 tho Meadowbrook games will be held in Commercial Mueum
and all of the top-notchers havo been Invited. George Gouldlng, tho famous Cana.
dlan walker, has been asked to give an exhibition of hoel-nnd-too work; Bob SImn!
ton, the greatest hurdler of all time, will top tho timbers, nnd Hon-ard Drew the
colored speed king, will maUo an effort to be on hand to race tho fastest sprinters
In this section. Ted Meredith, the Meadowbrook captain and holder of the world's
records for tho half mile run and the -MO-yorcl dash around ono turn, will compete
In the special 60O-yard race. Athletes from the Far West also havo been invited.
The Leland Stanford track team and the University of California squad havo been
asked, but as yet no reply has been received. Joie Bay. the little distance runner
from Chicago, probably will appear in a special race against Zanders, tho Scan
dinavian champion, who, with J3olIn, has been invited hero from Sweden by tho"
Meadowbrook" authorities. Bay is not a college man, but a printer in the Wlndv
City. He is a member of the Illinois Athletic Club and one of the greatest dis
tance runners Jn the world. Last Wednesday night ho shattered the world's record
for the ne and one-half mile run, negotiating the distance in 6 minutes and 45
seconds, clipping a minute and two-fifths seconds from Tommy Conneff's mark
which had stood since 1&35. A Jen-lap track will be laid In the museum, and
Secretary Dallas is sparing no effort to make the meet a huge success.
Dobie, Noted Football Coach, Quits the Game
GILMORB DOBIE, regarded as the world's champion football coach, has quit
the game for good. Sine his dismissal from the University of Washington
ha has had offers to coach teams on the Pacific coast, in the Middle West and In
the East, but he has refused all of them. He has gone into business in Seattle
Wash., and intends to stay there. Dobie has a wonderful record as a gridiron
tutor. He went through twelve seasons without a defeat and placed Washington
on tho football map. Yet, despite this unusual showing, he was not popular. One
it the complaints that was registered against him was that he did little character
building for the University of Washington boys, even if he did build up cham
pionship elevens. The faculty thw took a hand and decided to employ a man
Who could train tbe nwal as well as the physical side of the students. All of
which marks the. passing of tbe old-time gridiron bully, wbwe watchword was
yitory at any coat."

Phils' Catcher Says He Made
No Agreement With .
Pitcher to Hold Out

Aloxnndor. stnr pltrlior nr Hip million. In
demanding a $15,000 wilnry from President
W. P. linker last week, was quoted ns say
ing that ho hart mado a compact with
Catcher Wllllnm Klllcfer to liolrt out until
their terms hfid been accepted. Killefcr
lissuod a denial of Alexander's alleged state
ment yesterday. Ho paid he expected to
hao no trnublo with his employers, and
that ho would not be guided by Alexander's
Influence.
Killefcr caso Is Interesting. Karly In
1011 ho Jumped tho l'hllllca and signed a
threo-year contract with tho Chicago Fed
eral Lcnguo Club nt $."i000 n year. Ills caso
was taken Into tho courts, with tho result
that h!o services wero awarded to tho
Phillies. Uakor lh"n signed him for thrco
yoais at JC500 and the contract expired
iost fall. In September, l'llfi, Killefcr sud
denly lost tho use of his throwing arm and
did not play another game until last .nine,
hut ho rocelved hi' salary In full, tho own
ers of tho Phillies paying the doctor's bills.
Was Expensive Luxury
Tho legal proceedings which kept Killefcr
away from tho I'edi mounted to $8000,
which also was paid by tho Philadelphia
club. Killefcr, therefore, was an expensive
luxury, although ho could not catch Alex
ander In tho 1915 world scrle3.
President Baker recently sent a 5 5000
contract to Killefcr which covered tho sea
sons of 1017, 1018 and 1910. Klllcfer
naturally found fault with tho cut In his
pay. but Inasmuch as tho salaries of tho
Phillies last year amounted to $101,000 ac
tual figures, Baker Is determined to pay
less money to several of bis players. In
cluding Klllcfer, who, it seems, has been
fairly treated
Alexander's caso Is somewhat different.
AVJien tho great pitcher was tempted by
Federal League offers thrco years ago.
Baker handed out a blank contract for
thrco years and told Alexander to n.tmo his
on terms. As a result Alexander wroto
$7000 a year into tho contract, which was
entirely satisfactory to Baker and Alex
ander promptly declared that ho was ex
tremely happy. At tho end of each Ken win
ho received an exlrn $1000 for winning
twenty-flvo gamea, whllo ho shared In tho
world'3 Ecrics money of 1915.
Offered Usual Ilonus
Uakor mailed a now thrco ears' con
tract to Alexander several weeks ago. It
called for $8000 In salary, nnd tha usual
$1000 bonus for twenty-live victories. Alex
ander quickly replied that ho wouldn't feign
for les3 than $15,000 n, year nnd a thrco
years' contract.
Walter Johnson, of tho Washlngtons, Is
tho highest salaried pitched In baseball,
lie received $12,500 last year. AVhcn tho
time comes to sign ngalu with Clark Grif
fith, Johnson Ul bo forced to accept a
substantial reduction. Alexander Isn't worth
a dollar more than Johnson has received.
Ho Is n, wonderful pitcher nnd a flno fel
low. Ho is highly regarded by Baker ami
Pat Jloran, and as soon as be arrives in
Philadelphia for a talk thero Is no doubt
that ho will sign a contract that will ho
entirely satisfactory.

When you look hack nnd noto that most

wonderful affair, not to ho too particular

It would bo Interesting somo day to exca
vato sufficiently deep to bring up tho records
of thoso who havo lasted twenty years In

Among thoso ono can remember offhand
