that reason there will bo some cnanp.es in 1110 operation 01 me unum
Salaries will bo sliced nnd tho owners will attempt to make a little money
Instead of handing all of it to tho plavers. The business end of baseball
has got away from tho magnates and thov have decided to turn oir a
pew leaf.
Tho letter sent by tho National Commission to tho champion lied Sox
Is significant, as It touches upon the mercennrv spirit of the plavers and
withholds from them tho emblems which usually nro clven to the winning
team. This means the powers that be are Betting next to themselves nnd
will not, stnnd for any hold-ups In the future It Is safe to assume that
the cards will be shullled and a new deal handed nut, with all of the high
salaried gujs In the discard.
Another little act which will take up sumo spice In the newspapers
Is the finish fight between Ban II Johnson and Ilnrr Tr.uee. This pair
et along like a Belgian and a German, and in a short time a erbnl bar
rage will be opened. Frazee is sore over the nctlon of tho Cleveland club
in calling off the Labor Day games in St. Louis, and demands that tho
league take action. President Ban says Harry is talking through his hat.
and that's how tho trouble started
AT AXY rate, cc soon Kill know that baseball is ulth us again,
"for the players tUH oraanlze a holdout league, Utter scraps uill
le fought, athlctci iifto sputn $5000 for six months' uork ilIU an
nounce their retirement to the farm or blacksmith shop xiherc then
can cam S5000 In three years, and the same old stuff mil keep us
interested until the players rctwn,lo the fold and the first names
arc played.
Official Batting Averages Confirm Crowning of Cobb
fVST to prove thut baseball was played last jear, the American League
w-Tias sent out the official batting averages for 1918 As usual, Captain
Tyrus Raymond Cobb is the champion slugger, with an average of 3SJ
George Burns, of the A's, was second w'ith .352, nnd Tilly Walker was,
seventeenth with .294. Larry Gardner finished with 2S5, which was good.
considering his bad start, and Aeosta walloped the pill Tor .298. Thec men
will be back in the game next j ear battling for more honors
Strange as it may seem. Babe Ruth did not set tho world nflre with
his home-run clouts. Early In the season it looked as If he would smash
Qruvath'a record to smithereens, but late in the season, when tho pitchers
were in top form, he slumped and those circuit whacks were few and far
between. In all, Ruth knocked the ball out of the lot eleven times, which
equals the mark of Tilly Walker, of the Athletics.
However, Babo established a record for 1918. He made as many home
runs as all the rest of tho pitchers on the fast-time circuits, and would
J have pounded out more if, on the very last day of the season, that forty-;&-
two-year-old kid, Nick Altrock, hadn't hit for the circuit against Jim
!?' t'McAvoy. the catcher of the A's, who went In to pitch. However, the
""jf " powerful willow wlelder really did make one more homer than the rest of
MTthe hurllnc staff, but he had the misfortune to bust one or Stan uovelesKles
" moist offerings on the beak and send it into the bleachers in Fenway Park
when there was a man on first and only one run needed to break up the
game. It was broken up.
V ...
f .V THE Aiiicrican League, Ruth excepted, the hurlcrs obtained four
,, homers. They irc Altrocfc, Walter Johnson, nay Calducll and
Dave Davenport. Scien National League pitchers horned into the
slugging class, with Cloudy Claude Ucndryx, of the Cubs, leading
tclth three. The others ucre Schneider, Tom Hughes, Jake May
and Bill SierdcH.

Nicholas Haes, modern man' of mys

Manager Gets Decision
In fight circles for many, many jears
past It has been the custom to 'beat
'em to the wire' nnd the faster you wero
the more decisions jou gained Itegard
less of tho class of the fighter. If the
manager had the speed of getting to
that wire he could produce a title hope
In short order.
Nick, the alnavs Busplclous, Is very
well acquainted In boxing circles and
knows every angle of the gam. He
Insists he is on speaking terms with
many fighters who had great managers
that made them great fighters, due to
their ability to gel to that WIHI3
Johnny Burns, king of Kensington
Cambria A C. promoter, fight manager
and boxing authority, showed more
speed last night when he crossed the
street at Fifteenth nnd Chestnut than
he ever dlsplajcd beforo In his career.
It Is no wonder the Suspicious Nicholas
was suspicious.

Murray Fights Tonight
"You're nil wrong, all of sou." ex
plained King John. "I had to hurry, for

awny from home tomorrow night. Bat

I had to make arrangements for hla ac

Battler's first time away from home at

BRAUN MARKED
BY PITT TEAM
Panther Linemen Drilled
to Halt Shorty's Rushes
in Saturday's Game
DAVIES MAY START
Pittsburgh, Nov. 13.
Coach Glenn Warner was fortunate
In that all his men came through tho
Washington and Jefferson gnmo last
Saturday w Ithout an Injury of any kind,
although the lied and Black team had
three men carried off the field: the loss
of Lnly and Trcjsell especially being
detrimental to Washington unci, Jeffer
son. The linemen were woefully weal:
against Washington and Jefferson, and
Warner vvnsworrled. He drillid them
jesterday till they were helpless and
promises no rest for th"m until he Is
satisfied they can stand 'he rushes of
"Shorti" Braun, whose ability1 will make
him a marked man.
So m tny faults appeared latt week
that Warner has become more than
usually critical nnd today warned the
players that considerably les pennltles
muBt be registered against them when
they meet Pennsylvania. Horner, at
quarterback, was green and showed it
In his plav. so that tho men from tho
eastern end of the State will face Pttler
or McCracken at quarterback-.

JOHNNY BARTELS NOW
CANDIDA TE FOR END
Dr. Keogh Has Task of De
veloping Elongated All
Around Athlete, a Foot
ball Novice, Into Star
Wingman
FASTEST MAN ON TEAM
Bv I'.IjWIN J. POLLOCK
TTVanil, fearless nnd powerful, Johnny
XL Bartels, a giant In physlqujr'and a
baby In football knowledge, Is devoting
all his phjslcnl and mental nblltv an
hour and a half each day toward mnklng
n placp on l'enn's gridiron eleven. If ho
falls It will not be because he has not
tried.
Blessed with a physique that only n
fewenjoy, twenty-year-old Johnny his n
flying start on any other student who
knows no more nbout tho game His
11R pounds nro well distributed over his
huge frame of six feet four Inches nnd
his track work has so Increased his
speed tlmt ho ctn outrun the squad by
five yards In a hundred.
His great handicap Is his lack of foot
hill knowledge. When ho reported for
tho team last week, he knew less about
tho sport than a grammar school kid,
but he's picking up tho fundamentals
fast for bo Is being given n great deal
of personal attention
Doctor Keoph Tutor
The work of showing Bartels, the ele.
mentnry parts of football has been left
to Doctor Keogh, nnd It was to the little
peppery dentist that we directed ques
tions concerning the possibilities of the
Hoboken jouth. In response to our
queries, Doctor Keogh orated :
"Johnny's a good boy. He knows very
little about tho game, but he's learning
Ile'a fast and fairly aggressive. His
great height makes him a nitural end
and If he gets going the way we hope
he will he'll be tho hajdest man In the
world to stop on forward pass plajs
Furthermore, ho will be nble to break
up forward passes fetter than any other
man on the squad."
The I'enn coaches were after Bartels
for some time before he consented to
come ou( for the team He Is taking one
of the most difficult courses In the .uni
versity, chemical engineering, and there
Is not much time that ho can spare from
his studies
Then when he did report therp was a
long discussion concerning the position
for which ho should be groomed It was
A Man's Shoe

It is pleasant to see an honored
tradition of this Shopso widely
recognized as it is today ."viz :

finally decided to mako a halfback out
of him nnd ho was tried as an offensive
man, I ut jrsterdiy for the first time ho
was vised at end.
Roliertson Likes Uartcls
Ho never has played football before,
although h Is Well known In nthletta
circles here and In Now York While at
.Sttvcns Prep he was nn all-around track:
star and In his first year lit the Univer
sity last Benson ho won the Intercolle
giate pentathlon championship In the
relay carnival.
Law son Itobertson believes Dirtels has
more ability at hurdling than In any
other branch of track athletics. The or
dinary low hurdle Is too small' for Ills
trldo and he goes over tho wood about av
foot high. He has great speed and can
do better than 10 2-5 In the hundred.
William Frederick Bartels Is his cor
rect name, but some one called him
Johnny when he first came to Tenn and.
ho probablj wouldn't recognise the namo
If ho were called "Hill."
