EVENING PUBLIC1 ,El)(4EK-PillLAl)ELPllIA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1918 GOALLESS WINTER FAILS TO WORRY BASEBALL MAGNATES; HOW ABOUT A SEATLESS SUMMER? 16 CRITICAL RAILROAD SITUATION COMPLETELY STUMPS MAKERS OF SCHEDULES FOR BIG LEAGUES Two Instead of Three Trips Suggested to, Safeguard Traveling Hazards and Save Expenses Will Consult Uncle Sam TUB most critical situation ever faced by bis league hcIiciIiiIo makers confronts National and Aincilcan League representative In their confer ence with Government ofllclals In Washington nest Tuesday. Schedule making ut any tlmo Is a man's size Job on account of the difficulty of avoiding conflicts. Ordlnaiy schedule preparation Implies regular passenger train schedules, and the nation-wide transportation crisis Is going to make the general task much more dlfllcult this year. The situa tion will be fully canvassed and It Is expected that the Government will give whatever aid It can to help out. The question of conflicts will, In consequence, give way In Importance to the matter of guaranteeing teams ample tlmo to travel from city to city and yet make It possible to play tho usual number of games In the usual time. Tho most radical suggestion Is to liavo each club make only two trips around tho circuit Instead of three. This arrangement would save traveling expenses, but It is problematic whether lengthening n f cries to, say, six games, would provo popular. Tho pUn nt least would have tho big advantage of permitting two las between games, which would givo u good margin for tlmo to travel. As to Just how serious tho situation is, the subject of supplementary transportation has been engaging the attention of tho schedule-makers for some time. Tho use of autos nnd boots will Indeed bo handy In tho Hast, where Philadelphia, New Yoik, Hoston and Washington arc bundled. SOUND steamships are mentioned us piuv.nt; hand) us transporta tion fillers In tho Boston ami New Yolk train Unfile. A liko situation another )ear and lliug nui-lilnes no doubt would he available. Yanks Prepared for Traveling Reforms M1 ILLUU MUGGINS'S Yankee tilbo big league teams In im lespect least will bo warmed in the matter meet ordered travc' refotms. New Yoik's second team, It seems, stood the endurance list during tho last w ostein trip last seaon, when tho number of Jumps caused by ctra exhibition affairs made it necessary for the men to look after their own traveling effects. The days of tho uniform trunks aio over, for a while at least. The ban has been placed upon tho elaborate wardrobe stuff on account of the uncertainty of travel the coming )ear, Kach pla)er, therefore, will bo custodiun of his own efTccts nt all times. Everything, In fuct, will bo car ried by tho pla)crs except an ensemble of bats, for which u special tiunk will be used. The scheme adopted by the Yankees, and which worked successfully, was to provide each pla)er with two suitcaes; one of these, of sheet steel, for playing togs, and the other, of leather, for oidinaiy wearing apparel. The metal cases aio said to have shown wonderful capacity as shock absorbers and capablo of any sort of lough abuse. They nro pronounced rain-proof, wreck-proof, tornado-proof, bomb-proof and too weighty to interest a, gentleman burglar. Fielder Jones Tells Woes of Losing Manager MANAGER FIELUnn JONCS, of the St. Louis Browns, comes forwaid with ono of those exclusive Interviews seemed nt great expense at his peaceful ranch somewhere In Oregon and explains t-nmo of tho perplexities and anxieties which harassed his manageiial soul Iatt seaoti. Ilo denies nil the stories of disaffection, disagreement and discord appearing In papers or dished out as club gossip, with ono exception. Reported trouble with Plank. Soveield nnd Shotteu Is flatly denied, but he admits that Johnny Lavan was disgruntled all season nnd places the salary question at the bottom of the indifference of tho Ann Arbor medico. He throws some new light upon l'lank's quitting the team, stating that the veteran southpaw appealed to him In n flood of teais to let him turn In his uniform on account of tho fact that ho was dlscouiaged and believed himself no good for tho remainder of tho season ut least. lie deelaicd that he and Eddie wer., pain and ns proof cited that prominent among his Christ mas remembrances wus a letter from Plank containing a picturo of tho baby andrtbest wishes for a meiry Christmas anil a happy New- Year. Toward Shotten he also feels llko a brother, he told the interviewing person. Savoreld, ho declared, was merely a glutton for work and was allowed to have his own way In gratifying his Inordinate- taste for catching. AS TO prospects for ne.xt season, they are declared "good." -tX'TIghtlng in the first division." Is the way he puts it, and ho ex presses faith in Grover Loudcrmllk proving another Walt Johnson the coming ) ear. Mere Pinch Hitters Likely to Go Next Year PINCH HITTING Is an exclusive and highly essential 10I0 In the modem game of baseball, but a player has to be nblo to do something worth while besides merely being able to line 'tin out In an emergency to hold a permanent big league berth. This fact Is emphasized by the shunting of Big BUI Rumler, of the St. Louis Browns, to Columbus. Bill wan tho champion pinch swatter of tho circuit last season, but was not deemed good enough to catch and was not of any additional value to his team as a base runner. Tho downfall of the greatest pinch hitter of his day is iccalled as an echo of Rumler's passage back to tho minors. Old Dode Crlss was as slow as a cow and as awkward as a giraffe but he could lambast the spheroid. After a while it was discovered that It was a stroke of strategy to put him on base instead of permitting him to swing at the ball. On the bases Dode gummed the entire works and when opposing pitchers adopted the general policy of walking him it was not long until his days of big league usefulness were over, THE pinch hitter of the coming season mors than ever will be re quired to bo able to do something moro than pound tho ball, for economy of players makes this Imperative. Now that there Is nearly always a good hitting pitcher on ever)' team, for the present Jxjxmcn are likely to be used frequently In the emergency hitting 4 role. Eddie O'Kcefe, Hard-Luck Boxer, Is Training Again THE champion hard-luck boxer of Philadelphia has started training again. After a layoff of Bevcn weeks, Eddie O'Keefe, the local bantam, is looking for work and cares not whom he meets. Ho broko his arm in a bout with Joe Lynch at the Olympla early last December and the bout was stopped In the third round. O'Keefe on that night put up a great exhibition of gameness and was battling away with ono hand when Pop O'Brien called all bets oft. O'Keefe has had some great battles, having met the best boys In his class. "Unfortunately, however, ho was forced to take long layoffs after each fight, and as a result never was allowed to reach top form. A boxer must bo kept busy to become a drawing card. Eddlo won fiom Kid Williams and Artie Root and knocked out Gussle Lewis, and now seeks a match with Pete Herman. "I seo where Johnny Burns has taken charge of Cussle's business and has challenged Pete Herman," said Jack Welnstein, O'Kecfe's manager, today. "Lewis probably would give the champion a tough battle, but he is not the logicat man for the match. O'Keefe deserves It, but In order to settle all arguments I think It would bo a good stunt to match Eddlo with Lewis and allow tho winner to meet Herman. That is, of course, it Herman is willing to meet tho winner. Pete hasn't been anxious to mingle with O'Keefe in tho past and you know Eddie has a knockout xlctory over Lewis. The only way I can figure it Is to have an elimination contest and allow the best man to meet tho champion. And take It from me, tho best bantam In the world Is none other than Eddie O'Keefe. When he Is In shape there isn't a bantam In the country who can trim him." W EINSTEIN also is seeking a return match with Joe Lynch, and the chances aro that his man will box Young Brltt in Boston In a couple of weeks. Jack Hanlon promised to use O'Keefo at tho Olympla tho week of February 1. Three Players Worth $4000, Says Jennings BIO league ball players resent the statement mode by Hughey Jennings not long ago that there were only -three players In the American League who are worth $1000 per year. He named Cobb and Speaker, and said he was still looking for the third man who was worth that much. When Jennings was a star shortstop there were no $4000 a year men In the Nitlonat League, for $2400 was the limit, but In the last ten years $4000 sftlarlef have been common, so the lads who have been drawing the big no? think Hughey is getting the viewpoint of the club owners rather tfeilt that of the players and they don't like it a bit.
