DREYFUS NOW SHIFTS
AND MAKES
SALARY LIMIT "GOAT'
Owner of Pittsburgh Pirates Refuses to Take Count
When Blamed for $11,000 Limit on Salaries
and Passes Burden to Garry
Hy ROBERT W. MAXWELL
Stwirtn Mltor Evening riibllr Ledcer
"RATIONAL LEAGUE magnates lmvc discarded the practice of slinging
mud and now aro busily engaged In slinging printer's Ink at ench
other. Tlie main bout of this week's show was between Battling Barney
Dreyfuss, the pride of Pittsburgh, and Garrulous Garry Herrmann, cham
pion of Cincinnati and other surrounding towns. Battling Barney gained
tho newspaper decision after six hot rounds because he did all of the lead
tne, while Garry was unable to put up n defense. It was a one-sided battle
and there was no doubt as to the victor.
Barney delivered the most effects e blows, (.ending them straight from
tho shoulder, lie passed the buck beautifully and had Garry hanging on
the ropes In the first round. After that there was nothing to It.
There always Is a causo for an lnk-slinging contest, and heie it is.
At the Joint meeting of the magnates In New York recently the National
League adopted a monthly salary limit of $11,000. This was a clever move
and made as much of a hit as the Spanish Ilu. Everybody called it a bone
headed play and a rapid search was made for a "goat." Charley Kbbets
was tho unanimous selection and tho Brooklyn clttren was blamtd for
offering the suggestion. Charles entered a tearful and strenuous denial,
snd his oratory was so convincing that the onus was shifted to the broad,
muscular shoulders of Barney Dreyfusa. It took somo time for Barney to
realize he was the Innocent cause of It all, but when ho started to explain
his side he left nothing to the imagination.
Kirst ho panned tho newspaper writers who slipped him u panning,
threatening to sue them for libel or something like that. No one knows
why tho newspaper men should be honored by being sued, but Barney in
sisted he would go through with It. Then he camo right out and boldly
announced that Garry Herrmann was tho guilty guy: It was ho who first
suggested a salary limit in the National League, and if the "raz" Is to be
handed to any one the National Commission chairman should be honored.
THAT'S how the flght staiXid and the soidld details arc about to
follotc. Barneii evidently knows what he Is talKinu about, and
lit a icau Is vetting revenge for the decision which sent George Sislcr
to St. I.ooic instead of Forbes Field. Everything comes to him
u-ho waits. '
Barney Just Voted, That's All
B"
)ARNEV admits he voted for the
that's all. Here is the dope, swiped from Ualph Davis's contribution
to the Sporting News:
"The story published in New York that I was the man who introduced
the resolution fixing the salary limit at J11.000 a month is absolutely false,"
said Dreyfusa. ' I Intend to go to the bottom of this matter nnd asceitaln
Just who Is responsible for its publication. It Is lather peculiar that the
story was published in New York as a copyilghted article, and jet In out-of-town
papers, which purchased it from the owner of the copyright, It
varied materially from the story printed in the New York paper which I saw.
"Somebody is trying to discredit me, that is all. As a. matter of fact,
the man who introduced the resolution into the league meeting was none
other than Garry Herrmann himself, who seems to have a strong pull with
certain New York writers when it comes to keeping unfavorable publicity
out of the papers.
"We had agreed at our meeting that no publicity should be given l.i
establishment of a salary limit. The American League had previously
adopted a limit and nothing had been said about it. Shortly before our
session adjourned one of the baseball men left the room, A few moments
later President Hejdler invited the newspaper men in to tell them what
news we had to give out.
"He was certainly surprised as well as angered when the first ques
tion put to him was, 'How about that $11,000 salary limit?" The man who
had left the meeting but a few moments earlier had 'leaked', tight off the bat.
u
ftCYDLER decided at once to
" oHoio matters to take their course. 'He did so, and the result
tea so much unfavorable criticism, that at the next day's session the
action was rescinded and a new limit decided upon, which has not
been made public.
Accuses Herrmann of Trying to Discredit Him
MXTOW, Just a few words about Mr. Herrmann. It has been said that
1-' his opponents were whlpsawed at the Joint meetings In New York
recently, and that he and Ban Johnson control the situation so far as the
National Commission Is concerned. That is not true.
"Mr. Herrmann has done considerable to discredit me and I propose
to tell the truth about the situation. At the Joint meeting the vote on the
retention of the present commission was seven to nothing against the propo
sition in our league and five to three for the proposition In the American.
Herrmann did not have a vote, as he was Interested. In other words,
Herrmann's own league was solidly against him for chairman, and threo
of the American League club owners also were opposed to him.
"After the vote had been taken one of our club owners arose and
addressed Herrmann, telling him that he could see for himself how matters
stood and asking him why he did not resign. Garry replied that he might
do so if ho were assured that a better man for the position could be se
cured. That, of course, was camouflage.
"I refused to serve on the committee appointed by President Hejdler
to act with a similar committee from the American League in naming
Herrmann's successor, because It had been said that I was grooming a
candidate for the office.
"No action haj jet been taken definitely by the committee, but It is
foolish to say that Herrmann controls the situation or that he will remain
as the commission chairman, The committee may be depended upon to
act shortly, and as soon as It does Mr. Herrmann will cease to be a member
of tho commission,"
Mooney Springs New One for Baseball Fan
JOHNNY MOONEY, tho Bawston promoter and fistic manager, has de
cided to linger. In our midst for an Indefinite period and see what the
boxing game owes him. Johnny has a few boxers In Jils stable and ex
pects to show them to the home folks in a short time.
Mooney Is a great baseball fan and in the summer months, when
boxing is not nounsmng, spends most
n attends world series contests
aw something strange and unusual
and after listening to the yarn we believe It is right,
"If you recall the play," said Mooney, "it was in the ninth inning of
the third game, two out, Chicago at bat and tho scoro 2 to 1 in favor of
the lied Sox. Pick hit a slow bounder to Shean and beat the throw to
Mclnnls. Owens was umpire and called him safe. Thus, It took three men
on Inat play. Then Pick stole second and got there by an eyelash. Hank
O'Day giving the decision. Schang and Shean also were In that play,
which mado six men after one. On a short passed ball Pick tore for third,
making the bag, and when Schang threw to Thomas, knocked the ball
out of the third baseman's hand. IUldebrand called him safe, putting
three more names In the picture,
"Fred Mitchell sent Charley home when Thomas was running after
the ball and the runner was thrown out at the plate, Thomas to Schang.
BUI Idem rendered that decision.
UHOW figure It our. It took twelve men to put one player,
according to the tox toore. The entire Infield and four tig
league umpiret were needed to finally put the (all on Pick and
save the game for Boston."
NOW that Clark Griffith failed In his attempt to snare Babe Ruth from
the Boston Red Sox, he takes the liberty of telling the populace Just
"what he'd do If he had the great southpaw undec his care. Since the
Washington team is compelled to face the Red Box twenty times this season
It stands to reason that Ruth would pitch at least seven of those games. Is
K any' wonder Clark Griffith suggests that Barrow play Ruth dally at

BEATEN BY SAINTS
Frank Poth's Club Is Nosed
Out in Last Minutes by
American Leaguers
SECOND TEAM A WINNER
Frank Poth, the manager of the
League Island Training .Camp basket
ball team, made but a single mistake
In the game his team played against the
St Columba, champions of the Ameri
can League, last night at League Island.
He hooked hla club up wrong at the
start, a mistake for which he was sorry
shortly afterward, as he found out that
It was the main factor In his club's
defeat He had nt wirwards Crandall
nnd Simmer. The former was a. big
fellow nnd was opposed by Jimmy
Brown and was later displaced by a
joungster, named Dals
The final score was 31 to 16, but
there is eery possibility that had Davis
been In the game at the start there
would have been a different tale. Dals
and Simmer, working together, form a
fast pair of men on the attack. Tho
former landed three baskets and the
latter four, and, as said before. It was
really a shame that thls,Pals person
was not In action at the start
Tail to Follow Up
In playlns the Saints, Poth selected
one of the best clubs possible to hecure,
and one may gain some knowledge of the
caliber of ball plaed by League Island
when it is taken into consideration that
with only three minutes to play tho fig
uros were tie away at 26.
But the sailors were woefully weak
In one respect That was at following
up shots and they also failed to display
any especial aptitude In cutting for the
basket at the proper time. But when
it came to shooting they were on a par
wltlt their league opponents and, leaving
Jimmv Brown out of the emestlon, were
superior.
Saints Take Lead
DaUs replaced Crandall at the start
of the final frame and Immediately a
difference was noted In the playing of
the League Island bojs. The going was
nip and tuck, first one side getting a
basket and then the other. With the
Saints" four to the good, Simmer and
Davis sent the big crowd wild with a
pair of two-pointers that tied the fig
ures at 26.
At this time the home aggregation
was going the best and the Saints were
really giving way under the fast pace
set by the sailors, but urown and Gal
laher came through with lucky shots
that clinched the game and spelled dis
may for Poth, after he had visions of
his proteges beating the beBt In the
city.

W i t h Danny McNichol

Hope to Surprise
THAT ncer-falllng "crucial point"
which somehow or other manages to
crop up several times a season In vir
tually pery sport will make Its debut
In the Penn basketball circles this ee
nlng at Welghtman Hall.
The appearance of this oveiwoiked
"point" tonight is Indeed timely and
justified. The Penn team has reached
the turning point In its traels and
tho game with the fast-going Yale five
will determlno whether tho local quin
tet Is to take tho "Also Han Avenue" or
enter the "Lane to Pennantvllle."
The reason for this Is npparent. Penn
has played two Intercollegiate League
contest, winning and losing one. The
Yale five likewise has engaged In two
games and their record shows two wins,
one over Penn last Saturday exnlng at
New Haen. A Penn victory tonight
will tie up the league leadership.

LINDEN GIRLS
DEFEAT TIOGA
Lack of Signals and Prac
tice Cost Local'Team Vic
tory in Great Contest
ONE SIDE-COMB LOST
"Oh, Herman I mean Mr. Baetzel, I
think you're awfully mean 1"
It was at Traymore Hall, the home of
the American Basketball League. The
Tioga Baptist Girls' team and the Linden
Girls' team, of Camden, were battling
for the cha.mploi.shlp of "somewhere In
the United States," with no special limit
on the boundaries.
The girls from across the river were
slowly gaining tho upper hand, or some
thing, and Captain Jean Blundln, of tha
Tioga five, was rallying her "men" to
stave off defeat. Captain Emery, of the
Linden team, camo waltzing down the
floor, dribbling the ball the meanwhile.
"Hefty" Koehler and "Betty" Blundln,
of the Tioga team, suddenly attacked the
dashing Linden leader and all three went
sprawling on the slippery floor. The
shrill noise of the whistle stopped the
play and a foul was called on tho Tioga
team.
Baetzel Worked Out
or -miron this met with everything
but tho approval of the local team.
They crowded around Baetzel and voiced
their sentiments. Baetzel, to keep or
der, explained that the, foul was called
because two Tioga "men" had attacked
ono Linden girl.
This Is but one or tne many muutnw
which cropped up In the championship
contest and which kept the crowd on Its
toes throughout the forty minutes. The
Tioga team took the lead on a pretty
field goal by Captain Blundln Jihortly
after the gamo started. Tho Tjamden
girls, however. oercame the lead and
won out, 1 to 6.
Why Tioga Lost
If knockdowns und costumes had been
counted as field goals then the Tioga
girls would have won by 60 points.
They swung hard and often and the
girls from "over there" went down many
times. "Hefty" Hoehler, Captain Gene
Blundln and Betty Blundln led In the
Tioga attack. This made a great hit
with the spectators. -
But the Tioga team had an alibi.
"Betty" Blundln admitted, while one
ionninir nfter thn enmc. that the Tioga
team lost because they hadn't had any
coaching this year and that they hadn't
made up any s'gnals, and besides the
Linden team had practiced twice while
they had not.
Bobby Wlrtsklll, the veteran manager
of the Rockwood and Wllbar team, hear
Inc- Miss Blundln's snecch otlered nis
sen-Ices as coach. He will assume his
new duties tonight when the Tioga team
plays St. Simeon at American Bridge.
Less we forget the All-stars aeieaica
Yours Truly In the other game. They
were played for the benefit of the sol
diers of the Sixth and Twelfth Wards
who are now "oer there."

after Major Adee had made It clear,
that no club was bound by the said

"Dickey" was "heartily in favor" of the -elimination
