SUIT AGAINST JOHNSON
IS GRANDSTAND PLAY
BY NEW YORK O WNERSl
. Loolcs as if Court Proceedings Are Being Pulled to
Effect Compromise Before Joint Meeting of Leagues
in Chicago Next Week

' A FTER suffering in silence for several wcelit, bernlmed on n once turbulent
sea of baseball, the Combative Colonels Iluppert and Uuston clattered
Into the picture, emitted many lusty bellows and the calm and peaceful Ameri
can League was transformed into a how lips cj clone. Han Johnson now is
defendant in n !?u00,000 damage suit, he faces eipulsion and banishment from
the league and the five loyal club owners arc about to be enjoined or something
like that because they arc loyal and arc standing behind the president of
their league
"Don't pay attention to the latest legal move started by the New Torlt
owners," said a person who should Know what he is talking about this morn
ing.; ."It is merely a grandstand play, pulled nt the last minute to effect a
comprpmlse before the league meetings are held in Chicago next week. They
evidently figure that some one will he frightened and try to settle things ou1 of
court. That will be more or less a uctorj for the insurgents; but, take it from
me, nothing like that will happen. Johnson and his supporters will see it
through, and if the case ecr- comes to trial some interesting things will be
disclosed.
"To my mind, the suit is an effort to prevent the Carl Mays case from
going to trial. The Yankee owners Know they cannot prove the things they
have claimed and will be tery much embarrassed if they arc shown up in court.
"I can't see where there. is any claim for damages. The ball park was
open all of the time, no effort wus made to ruin their business and, if the truth
were known, the Yankees made more money last year than in any other two
years under the present ownership. Of course, that is just my own opinion,
but I bcliee it is almost right.
"Something has been suid about dropping Boston, Xew York and Chicago
from the board of director-, this j ear. Thej were not dropped, as I understand
It. The directors are elected to sene but one jcar, in order to give ccry one
a chance. There arc alwajs two from the West and two from the East. Last
year Cleveland, Chicago, Boston and New York served, and this ear Wash
ington, Philadelphia, St. Louis and Detroit arc on the board. Next year I
suppose the other board will be back again. There has been no discrimination
in that case."
However, the latest action is not making much of a hit with the fans.
They are tired of the scrap nnd want it settled one way or another. Baseball
played in the courts is not at nil popular, and the sooner it is over the better.
'Perhaps the Yankees are justified in filing the suit for damages, und perhaps
again they are not. At any rnte, the tight has lasted long enough nnd for the
SoOd of baseball the soft pedal should be libcrnllj applied.
AT TIIST, it seems strange that a ball club unuld try to tic up the
- league and icopen hostilities after paying SJ23.000 for one player
and facing a very prosperous season. It might he that the Yanks are
seeking a shotcdoicn so as to Inoic how to act m the meeting next iceck.
Rube Bresdcr Ready to Sign
RUBINO BRESSLEIt, the joung geutlemuu who once toiled for Connie
Mack and returned to the fast set vin Atlanta, blew into town this rqorn
ing, to get accustomed to the bright lights and trolley cars. Itubino has been
wintering at the old homestead, which is located at Lock Haen, Pa., and says
a pleasant time was had in the acation period. He did a lot of hunting up in
the mountains near the old homestead, and judging from his conversation
every deer in that section has been brought down by his trustj rifle. Itubino
is a great hunter and is proud of his prow ess.
lie is here. to kac a few words with dene MrCann, the Cincinnati scout,
who also takes a hand in signing ball plajcrs at this time of the year. Gene
Is emissary for Pat Morau and is especially desirous of getting Bressler's full
name to a contract. Itubino is in a receptee mood, and the chances arc the
signing will be successful and without pain.
"I received a contract from Garr Herrmann a couple of months ago,"'
said the brilliant southpaw, "and I didn't sign it because it isn't proper to use
undue haste in business dealings with magnates. I suppose the terms arc all
right in fact, I have been treated liberally so Gene and I will have no trouble
in getting together. I shall not be a holdout this jear.
"The season cannot start too soon for me," continued the port-sider.
"I am in great shape and ready to play right now. I wnlkcd many miles while
Hunting, nnd that's the bet thing in the world to get into good phjsical shape.
"Do I think we will win the pennant again? Surest thing you know'-.
Pat Moran is a wonderful manager and has all of the others howling for help.
Hi? judgment is uncanny and he never indulges in second guesses. He knows
how to handle men and ever player on the squad respects him. He certainly
knows a lot of baseball und knows how to teach it.
"There is nnother brainy player on our ball club and, next to Pat Moran,
I believe he did more than any one else to win the pennant for us. It is Slim
Sallee, end, take it from me, that old bird is a wise one. It was he who de
veloped Dutch R-euther and Jimmy Ring last season. lie taught them how to
pitch the fadeaway, which pulled them through many games. liny Fisher also
was one of his pupils, nnd you know the success he had. Sallee is a great
fellow and always is glad to help young pitchers. I tried to master the fade
away, but had to give it up to play in the outfield. However, I hope to learn
it this year."
t 0
DUBE says he expects to sec all of the players at the training camp
l at Miami, Fta., next month, a? he is confident the salary differ
ences tcill be adjusted in a short time.
Wharton Would Work Well With Gaston
rpHERE is a movement on foot to include Doctor Wharton in the list of
J- coaches at Penn next year. Wharton, who is the best line tutor in the
country, has expressed a desire to retire, having been connected with athletics
at Penn for twenty-sir years, but it is hoped he will entertain a proposition to
come back next fall. Doctor Wharton and Harold Gaston would work to
gether well, for Gaston is one of the doctor's old pupils. Gaston also probably
would be glad to share the work with Wharton.
Too much cannot be said about the ability of the famous line coach. He
is in a class by himself and no one can get better results from the burly for
wards. Wharton knows the ins and outs of every position, both on the nttack
and defense, and his services would be invaluable next jear. A new center
must be developed and also a pair of good tackles. In 10X7 lie did marvelous
work with the line, developing several tar players. Penn should retain
Wharton at all costs.
"Buck" also would be a great help to Heisman. The new man naturally
will have to get acquainted with conditions and would profit by the veteran's
advice. Wharton knows the stylo of play used by the various colleges and
knows the defense to work against them.
'TAKING it all in all, Doctor Wharton is about the best man Penn
could get, and, icith Harold Gaston, the pair would produce results,

Who has a desire to break into the big leagup has written him a personal letter,
with very high personal recommendations. They come from all ports of the
country and every writer is a star. Some wonderful arguments are put up as
can be seen from the following letter grabbed haphazardly from the bundle:'
"Dear Sir Would like to know when jour team starts for spring training.
X am Bure your team cannot be made any weaker than it is, but it can be made
lots stronger. I am a great young ball player, with brilliant prospects, who
has not yet been discovered by any bcoutH. I am willing to "play my best for
you, either at third base or pitcher.
VD S.I also can play other positions if you so desire."
A
STRANGE how the stars fade in a few months. Last year Joe Wilhoit,
former member of the Boston Braves and New York Giants, set Crc to the
Western League by hitting safely in sixty-eight consecutive games. He was
much sought after by the big league clubs and finally was landed by the Boston
Ited Sox. He wns supposed to he a star this scaon, but now it's all off. Ac
cording to the latest report from Boston, Wilhoit has been sold to the Toledo
club in the American Association.
J" ON JOURDET has turned out another typical Jourdet-coached basketball
-J team at Penn, and it looks as if the Quakers are going to land the Inter
collegiate League championship once again. If the Red and Blue cops it will
b the third straight title won by Jourdet and the fourth since he took charge
of basketball affairs at the University in the season of 1014-15. Lon knows
the game thoroughly and has the correct personality for a coach. No wonder
he's (mashing records.
F'S about time for some one to spring the line thnt John W. Heisman is a
crumby coach because he used to handle the Crackers. Georgia Tech play
ers are known as Crackers below the Mason and Dixon line.

S THE men of Mack took their in
"" field practice nt the South Side Park
in Chicago one September day in 1006,
the fans were amused at the capers of
a boy at the shortficld position.
The youngster was dressed in a regu
lar A's uniform, but it was too big for
him and made him look Blimmer than
ho really was. He looked like a mascot,
but no one else was practicing at short
and he stayed there when the game
started.
The boy looked about fifteen, but in
reality he was nineteen, and although
it looked as it a hot grounder would
knock him off his feet, ho stopped every
thing that came his way. lie was cred
ited with two put-outs and four assists,
and he dented Ed Walsh's delivery for
a single and a sacrifice.
It was announced that tho boy's
name was Sullivan and for some time
he was known as Sullivan becauBo ho
was captain of the Columbia baseball
team and didn't want it known that bo
was playing professional ball. Sullivan
was Eddie Collins, rated as baseball's
greatest second baseman.

Barnes and Hagen, America, Proposed in Exhibitions in
This and Other Cities Against Duncan and
Mitchell by Professional Body
By SANDY
rpHE Professional Golfers' Associa
tion has started the ball rolling in
tho matter of the international matches
to be plajcd next year.
It was announced last night thnt
efforts would be made to stage exhibi
tion matches between Jitn Barnes nnd
Walter Hagen, for America, and Abe
Mitchell nnd George Duncan, for
Great Britain.
It is proposed to play a series of
such matches in Philadelphia, New
York, Boston, Chicngo, St. Louis and
other great golfing centers. Thise
matches will be for the benefit of the
P. (5. A., and it is felt that a consid
erable sum can be realized in this way
to bolster up the finances of this or
ganization and make possible the play
of a good many other professional ex
hibition matches.
Stand Out
Barnes is professional United States
golf champion, while Walter Hagen is
fio open American champion. Mitchell
nnd Duncan have now sunerbedod Vnr-
duu, Ray, Taylor, Braid and the others
at tne greatest or ureat liruaiu.
Tin hc two stand out above the famous
quartet which has so long dominated
professional golf in the Old World.
Both Merlon nnd Huntingdon Valley,
of this city, will he in a position to
handle such exhibition matches, though
neither club has come out so far with
the announcement that cither is willing
to hnndle the event.
The P. G. A. is now working on an
effort to ninkc this play be for the
world's championship golf doubles.
New York nnd Chicago clubs nre al
ready ir the field with offers to stage the
meetings One Chicago club has offered
a preliminary purse of $2000 to insuic
home kind of a match between the
Americans and foreigners over its
course.
Alex Pirie, secretary of the P. G. A.
said jeptorday that an invitation had
been forw aided to the liecretnrj of the
British Piofessional Golfers' Associa
tion for its leading membors to compete
in the American professional match plaj
without tho necessity of qualifying.
Quallfjing Plan
It is hoped to have at least four of
the Britishers compete in this event.
The plan at present, therefore, is to
match eight of the Americans in a pre
liminary round, the four defeated Amer
icans to make way for the four British,
crs.
The P. G. A. championship will be
started on Monday this "year, leaving
the balance of the week for the other
rounds.
The Britishers are also invited to
enter tho open championship here, and
inasmuch as it is definitely decided that
several American pros will also cuter

JACK TOLAND WINS
BOUT OVER HANNON
Boxers Forget About Punching
for Jaw in Contest at
Auditorium
Young .Tock-Toland did not have much
chances to use his southpaw punch
again&t Willie Hnnnon in the windup
nt the Auditorium A. A. Inst night, but
Tolaud won. During the greater part of
the bout the boxer.s appeared to have
forgotten that it was not against the
lules to aim a punch at an opponent's
jaw.
Ill this respect Hnnnon showed the
most willingness to forget that a blow
to the jaw is considered perfectly good
form among some of our best boxers.
That is whj a decision iq beiug regis
teied against him.
Hanuou not only ignord Toland's
iaw when hitting, but he must have
been terribh tired, for he spent most
of his timn resting his nrms on the
back of Tolancl'b head. This method left
Toland with no alternative but to slug
to the bodj. The left-hander succeeded
in getting oer enough clean southpaw
wallops to carry the decision.
An unusually interesting preliminary
was furnished in the third bout between
Harry Stewart and Freddy Turner.
Stewart, who is undergoing ,js oap.
tismnl tire in the boxing game, staged a
spirited nttack that earned the crdict.
Turner rallied in the lust round, but
his spurt came too late to harm Stew

SmVELL FORD is absolutely correct.
It should now be known as thct Golf
of Mexico and the Golf Stream in this
land of orange groves nnd mnshie shots,
sunshine and two-foot putts.
It is only n question of n few years
before Florida will bo one vast golf
course, interspersed with orange nnd
grapefruit groves, bordered in turn by
tho bewhiskcicd water oaks and the
moss-covered pines.
Wo make the prediction thnt within
five yenrs there will bo more divots lifted
in Florida than any other state in the
union.
Golf and Oranges
A DAY OR SO ago, with Roy Chapin,
II. B. Mai tin and Eugene Ricker,
wo stnitcd out ou a tour of inspection
from Belleair, headed across tho state.
Wc left two great golf courses at Bellc
nir, and from that point on through
Tnmpn into Mountain Lake the car
dashed along over fino ronds, through
or by a succession of orange groves nnd
cither nine or eighteen hole courses,
many of the latter planted in towns
under 5000.
At Mountain Lake we enmc to the
tallest point in the state, some 400 feet
above sea level, nnd there spread out in
leview at exnetly the center of the
state was n high-grade nine-hole course,
witn nnotiier nine under way. Tins
course was no dinky, tourist affair, but
one of fino testing distance, scientifically
trapped with grass greens, on n par
with the best to be found in the north
through June.
Lees than five years ago this place was
a wilderness. To drop 100-acre golf
courses, with smooth fairways nnd ex
icptional greens, into this sector on
Ruch brief notice shows what will
happen as the golf contagion spreads.
For the Older Generation
WINTER golf in Florida will never
lure any number of the younger
element. Very few of these have the time
or the money.
But it will extend its appeal to tho
middle-aged citi7cn or the man beyond
fifty who has collected his kale and who
desires to leave the snowbanks behind
for a playground in the sun.
It's a great thing for this class. In
place of shh ering through a w inter gale
they start north in April, tanned and
husky, exuding pink from every pore.
