ITIHE era of retrenchment In baseball Is here, but It would not lessen
'" operating expenses to reduco tho eastern and western trips of the clubs
from three trips to two, according to Connlo Mack, mann&or of tho Athletics.
Now that tho schedulo has been cut to 140 games, many wcro of tho im
pression that tho elimination of ono of, tho lntcrsectlonal Jaunts would bo
a great saving, especially In theso days of Increased coqt of transportation,
ITor a time Connie Mack maintained that this would bo ono of tho first
ways In which to begin to retrench, but now tho shrewd loader of tho A'a
has changed his mind.
'It would not benefit us In any way to havo only two lntcrsectlonal
trips Instead of the original threo," said Manager Mack last night. "In
Xaot, I bellovo It would bo a loss. I think I was ono of tho first to suggest
doing away with ono of the long trips, but oyer a fow days of real work
With a lead pencil I now feel convinced that It would entail a loss. Under
tho old system there were threo scries In each city. -Theso threo visits
Were divided Into two four and ono threo-gamo sorles. That was In tho
days when each club played twenty-two games against tho other soven
teams In the lcaguo. Now It has been reduced to twenty gomes and we
will have ono four and two three-game series.
"The season will last only flvo months In 1919. ' Trcsldent Johnson
eald ho hopes to havo the world series start around September 22. I sea
no reason why this cannot bo dona. You know wo havo two more cities
In tho American League nhero Sunday Vail la played than tho National,
"and we should havo no troublo closing our season around September 20.
For tho National League to wind up tho schedulo in tho mlddlo of Sep
tember It will bo necessary to play many doublo-headers In August and
September.
tt f HEARTH? approve of the new arrangement In regard to the
schedule. Baseball will be played in baseball weather, and when
October arrives wc hope to bo through for the year."
Mack's 1919 Team Is Very Uncertain
CONNIE can be found working Industriously every day at his desk at
Twenty-flist street and Lehigh avenue. For tho last two months Connlo
has put In many hours mapping out plans for tho campaign of 1919. Lost
night he admitted that nothing detlnlto had been dono for next season.
"I've got to go out and get n. team, that's all; get a te'am," admitted
the sagacious pilot. "I know Mitchell, of tho Cubs, came out with a state
ment with a tentative llno-up for the opening game, but a man vith a
championship team on his hands shouldn't have any troublo taking such
a chance. With mo it Is different. I don't Just know whoro I stand. Per
haps I won't havo much to say until around March 1, when It will be timo
to notify the boys to report at Slilbo Park for spring training."
"How about Tilly Walker; will ho return?" ho was asked.
"Well, Walker on a number of occasions told mo ho thought of re
tiring," answered Mack. "I havo heard nothing from him since he de
parted last fall. He is a good man. But wo all must look for Just such
cases this year and go right ahead despite tho setbacks. I had a very
rood bunch of boys in the line-up at the end of last season. They played
the kind of ball tho fans liked, and If I can get this same group drilled
Into a winning combination the fans will have no reason to be dissatisfied
with the Athletics."
"How about Larry Gardner; do you expect him to return?" Connie's
Interrogator continued.
"Gardner Is an uncertain quantity," replied Connie.. "Wo need him
tn the line-up to help steady tho youngsters. He is a valuablo man on
any team. I expect to hear from, hlrn soon. There still Is a chanco that he
Will bo my regular third baseman next season. At this timo I would not
attempt to state how my team will look on opening day. I am suro of
.pofhlng."
11TITII Acosta, Kopp and Jamlcson in the outfield. Burns and Gard
" tier in the infield and Perry and Perkins as a first-string bat
tery, Connie has a very good nucleus around which to build that
1910 aggregation.
Comishey Yet May Lift Ban on "Outlawed" Players
CHARLES COMISKEY, the generous owner of the -Whito Sox, has taken
a stand against tho players who quit baseball last season to enter tho
shipyards. The Chicago fans now hae started to writo Comiskey asking
for different action on those cases. Four of tho Chicago stars como under
tho ban. Other club owners nro willing to placo theso players on their
payrolls. Connlo Mack yesterday said he saw no reason for discriminating
asalnst theso boys.
' "We all mako mistakes," Interceded Connie. "Those boys believed
they were doing the right thing and I see no reason for holding out against
them. There were plenty of mistakes made. No ono know what was
eolng to happen. Everythlny now Is over, there's a clean slate ahead
end personally I believe It will be Just aa well to forget tho past."
There Isn't any doubt that Comiskey was aroused over Jackson's Jump
to tho shipyard league. At the time tho defection of Jackson did much
to wrecjc tho pennant chances of tho Whlto Sox. Jackson apparently was
1 Ill-advised. So were tho other players. The charge that he tried to keep
out of 'tho army Is only supppsltlon. Joo has been married four years
and therefore was entitled to deferred classification. No one yet knows
la what fjlass ho was placed by his local board.
If Comiskey parts with Jackson nnd Felsch and this pair la snared
by tho Yankees, Hugglns will have one of tho best outfields in baoball.
JJuffy Lewis nnd Ping Bodlo nircady oio on tho payroll. Again, tho
chances of Cobb going to tho Yankees are not to bo overlooked. Connlo
Mack even Intimated .that Cobb's placo could bo filled with tho Tigers.
"You know there's always some one coming along to fill a star's
shoes." explained Connie apropos of Cobb's departure from tho Tigers in
favor of the Yankees.
DOVBTLVBB before many weeks have elapsed more owners will
take the Mack version, forget the past and give the boys another
chance. The "second guesscrs" ueier lof. Give the loy ivho take

Tendler Has

Registers Five Knockouts,
Fourteen Decision Wins
and One Draw in Tiventy
Battles
EARNS NEARLY $30,000
By JAMES S. CAROLAN
FOW knights of tho ring enjoyed a
better season than Lew Tendler, the
brilliant southpaw artist, during the
campaign of 1918. He engaged In only
twenty battles, winning nineteen and
earning a draw in the other. Five of his
triumphs were knockouts. For this
work Tendler was rewarded to tho ex
tent of J28.G77.65, or an averago of
JH34 on engagement.
Fourteen of Tendler's fights were
fought In this city and for his efforts

night times he performed before an
Olimpla gathering and drew down
$7953 65 On flKe occasions he was the
headllner at the National and collected
$8770 70. Ills other exhibition here wns
at Shlbe Park against Patsy Cilne, for
which ho received 13335.30.
National Average Good
At tho Olympia Lew averaged a few
dollars less than $1000 per fight. At
tho National bis average was more than
$1750. It will be recalled that none of
his fights at tho Olympia wero special
shows, and this helped to keep down
tho returns. Two of his flvo battles at
the National were special affairs, the
Cllne bout netting him $2277.85 and
$4000 for Chaney. Tendler's other ap
pearance nt a special show was against
Cllne at Shlbe Park and this was good
for $3335.30.
Tendler entered the class of a two-

work against Jackson In New Haven.
April was his best month, Law drnwlng
down $0869, or nearly one-fourth as
much as ho earned In the other eleen
months.
Financially Rewarded
Tendler had a great season. Finan
cially, It compares favorably with that
of any other ring performer. Frpm tho
other side it also was a triumph. He
went through the year without losing
a decision, which In Itself Is a remark
able record.
Fourteen decisions, five knockouts and
ono draw Is a record which places him
at tho top 'of tho real 133-pound divi
sion. Leonard cannot be rated in this
clans for he fought few llttlo fellows
during the year, doing most of his
mingling with the welterweights.
If Tendler earned nearly $30,000, In
war times, what should be his earning
powers during 1919 with boxing more
popular than over in tho history of tho
game?
At least,' he Intends to start the year
right by receiving $2G00 for boxing
Rocky Kansas In Buffalo on January 1.
Why Not $75,000?
Barring Injuries 'and tnklng it for
granted that he will have the advantage
of good management, Tendler's earning
powers for 1919 should be close to
$75,000. This figure Is not too high, If
Tendler takes part In at least twenty
battles during the season. That' would
he an averago of mora than $3000 'a
fight.
Then again there Is nothing to limit
his work to twenty fights. It will be
recalled that In 1917, tho year Leonard
annexed the title, Benny took part ln
imny-iwu, juai u. icw icoa mull Jurry
Oreb,
With a few special 'shows In addition
to the regular battles, Tendler should
show an excellent bank account at tho
conclusion of hostilities In 1919.

National J(?ody at Annual Session Seeks Government
Aid in Making Physical Education Compulsory in
All Public Schools and Institutions "
By EDWIN J. POLLOCK '
Now York, Dec. 27.
AN ATHLETIC America, wherein every boy Is inn athleto and overy girl
is physically normal, Is tho sporting Utopia which tho National Athletlo
Research Society set as Its goal at tho annual meeting in th'o Hotel As tor
hero yesterday.
To reach a lofty ambition, tho research officials ,havo trained their guns
of argument on tho highest legislative power In tho United States, and every
effort will be put forth to havo Congress make physical education compulsory.
in tno pudiio scnoois.
In View Of thft fact that AtttnHen nnw
Is facing its reconstruction period In
athletics, the meeting of tho Research
Society yesterday was of particular sig
nificance. Delegates to tho convontlon
wero collectively of tho opinion that
sports, as conducted on the present
highly specialized plan, have been en
tirely Inadequate in meeting the de
mands that were daced on the nhvnlnn
of America by the war.
Athletics, they pointed out, should be
run on a much larger scale to reach
the greater number of- tho populace In
stead of confining them to the especially
trained few who aro good enough to
mako varsity teams.
Seek Government Aid
Tha research officials aro looking to
the next generation and they Intend to
accomplish their dreams through the
Government. A resolution was drawn
up by Thomas A. Storoy, the New York
State Inspector on physical education,
who Is connected with tho City College
of New York, and adopted by tho con
vention to "put over" tho big scheme of
physical fitness for America.
Tho high points of tho resolution fol
low: FJrst, That the, society shall make
every reasonable effort to influence
tho Congress of tho United States and
the States' Legislatures to enact laws
providing for the effective physical
education of all children of all ages
in mi pudiio scnoois ana institutions.
Second. That the physical education
shall bring these children Instruction
In hygiene, regular periodic health
examinations and a training In the
practice! of health habits, with full
cmphaslB on play, games, rocreatlon,
athletics and physical exercise.
Thlfd. That this association shall
make persistent 'efforts to influence
State Boards of Education or their
equivalent bodies to make effective
rules that on or after June, 1922, no
applicant may receive a license to
teach any subject In any school who
does not first present convincing ovi
denco of having covered a satisfactory
course in physical education In a. repu
table training school for teachers.
Fourth. And that this association
directs Its president to appoint a com
mittee to put the above resolutions In
actlvo and effective operation.
Mutt Havo Experts
Part threo of the above-mentioned
points of the resolution Is likely to revo
lutionize education. It Is the Intention
of the society to have every teacher, of
no matter what grade, an expert on
physical education.
By this method of procedure the dele
gates hope to Install a system of ath
letics In the elementary schools that will
be fitting for the various ages of the
pupils and thus to havu tho next genera
tion of Americans collectively and lndl.
vldually athletic.
Tho movement is backed by some of
the biggest men in the medical and ath
letic world. Delegates aro here from
all parts of the country nnd numerous
college representatives woro at the meet
ing, despite the fact that the National
Colleglato Association did not go Into
Besslon Until this morning.
Many Societies
The Research Society embraces In Its
membership all of tho Institutions for
the welfare of America, such as the
Young Men's Christian Association, the
Knights of Columbus, the Jewish Wel
fare League, National Commissions on
Naval and Military Training Camp Ac
tivities and collegiate nrsoclatlona.
In Introducing the resolution Doctor
Storey polptcd out the disturbing condi
tions found in tins ana otner countries
