Moguls te Talce Action in Meetings in
New Yerk This Week
By ROnEKT V. MAXWELL.
Sports Editor Erenlnr TuMIe Ledger
npttIB 1022 baseball season Is well under way, running smoothly and has
JL grabbed the entire sport stage. The grand old national pastime usually
horns in about this time of the year, nnd when it does everything ele Is for
gotten. The football tcasen still is lukewarm, but that makes no difference.
Ne sooner was the Army and Navy game ever than the owners and managers
of blit league ball clubs stepped into the open, and are there te remain until
further notice.
Football took the count when Judge- Lnndl handed down his derision
rntch flattened the bankrolls of Beb Meuscl and Bill l'iercey and slightly an
noyed Babe Ruth financially. Before the fans ceased talking about this. Jawn
McOraw up and buys Heinle (Iren for the Glnnts nnd scored a complete
knockout when he handed out $".".000 for First Baseman O'Connell, who will
be delivered at the end of the 1922 season. Frank Navin, of Detroit, and
Garry Herrmann also kicked in with a ceuple of heavy financial deals, and
this also made Interesting reading.
New wc have the annual league meetings in New Yerk this week. To
morrow the National League will meet behind barred doers at the Waldorf,
and en Wednesday the American will be in action in the Commedore. A joint
meeting is scheduled for Thursday, and by that time everybody will knew all
about the prospects of the clubs for the coming campaign. When it comes
tune te cop the spotlight, baseball lets go with both barrels.
The usual business will be transacted at the gatherings, which means the
owners will get together, try te arrange a few trades and discuss the high
cost of playing. There also will be an attempt te shorten the World Series te
even games, which should be perfectly satisfactory te both of our Philadelphia
clubs, because it's just the same te them. They don't have te work after the
Mtten ends.
Anether important subject te be discucd is the draft. Since the miners
decided te go it alone they have made mere money than ever before In selling
layers and will attempt te keep conditions as they are. The recent transac
tions virtually have killed all chances for the return of the draft, for when an
owner can draw $75,000 for a player like O'Connell and retain his services
for one year, and a club can get $40,000 and some players for a pair of pifhera
ueh as were sold te Detroit there's no reason from the viewpoint of the
miner leaguers te return te the old system, where the draft price was
Around $3000.
WtiyOR league ball players have increased in value and trill con
IW tinue te increase se long ai exorbitant prices arc paid. The
O'Connell deal has ruined the market, and unlesi a club owner talks in
big figures when seeking an athlete the deal s off.
Trouble Ahead for Club Oivncrs
rTVILL net be easy sailing for the major league club owners this coming
season. Disgruntled stars will become mere disgruntled, holdouts will be
numerous and during the winter months we will read about the voluntary
retirement of many famous players.
The first will be Eddie Reush, of the Reds. Eddie wants te leave that
dear Cincinnati and hook en with another club, meaning the Giants. He
has demanded a salary which would make I'reMdent Harding jealous, nnd says
there will be nothing doing unless the Reds come through. He is kicking in
with the same stuff that Helnie Greh pulled. Heinle modestly demanded
$24,000 for next year and was punished by being sent te New Yerk. Reush
wanta some of the same punishment.
However, Garry Herrmann says his star outfielder will net get the money
he asked for. will net be sold or traded and will net play baseball unless it is
wjth the Cincinnati Baseball Club. In ether words, he will receive the same
treatment as Greh last year, when he was nllewed te remain idle five weeks
and draw no pay. Garry pays he expects Reush te remain en hiw farm next
summer, for there will be no room for him en the ball club unless he signs the
papers-originally offered by the management.
Milten Stock is in again and Branch Rickey is nnxleus te get rid of him.
Milten is one of the best thlrd-sackers In the business, hits well nnd is a val
uable man for nny ball club, but his business methods have net made a hit with
the owners. Every year Stock is a holdout He demands a big increase In
.salary and will net make a move until be gets a new contract. This has
happened year after year, and Milten has been able te dodge the unprofitable
iMw training trips down Seuth.
fl?V ' " TJ . l.-.l ILL. ... t aU- Tl,n
ic wufivt-u luis raiim en wiu uuui 1 rcMuunc xiUKcr iraeea nim 10
St. Leuis, nnd then Rickey fell heir te a let of trouble. The mere fact he
wants te get rid of a high-class playpr is the Up-off.
There Is a rumor that Pittsburgh would like te get Stock. Perhaps
Barney Dreyfuss wants te try his hand nt taming the third baseman, as he
Is a past master in that line of work. It Is said that a deal Is pending whereby
"Whittcd, Tierncy nnd Barnhart will be traded, and while it seems te be a
whole let for one man, the trade might go through.
According te gossip, there were two factions en the Pirate club Iat fall
when the'tcam cracked, folded up and lest the pennant, nnd It is up te Drey
fus cither te dispose of Manager Gibsen or the malcontents. If such is the
cake, several players will be sold or traded before the season opens, as Gibsen
will be retained.
THE Yankas also are in the market for players, and it is possible
that Veach and Ehmkc icill be traded by Detroit for Mitchell and
a pitcher.
Trick Pass Decides Grid Title
LEO CONWAY'S Philadelphia Quakers wen the Independent championship
of Phl'adelphia Saturday when they defeated Frankford by one touch
down. The game was hard fought and the seere came en n trick forward
pass in the third period.
Outside of that one piny the teams were about even. It wns impossible
te gain consistently, as the opposing linemen, former college stars and coaches,
knew tee much about the game and could diagnose thr plays tee quickly. The
defense en both sides was superb nnd the football played was almet perfect.
The Quakers attempted the open game in the first half and could de little
against the Yellewjackets. In the third period they bucked the line, drew in
the secondary defense and worked two preitj ferwurd passes, the last one
coring the only touchdown.
Johnny Scott is responsible for the victory. He put one ever en Frank -ford
when he pulled a play which was net expected. Hinkey Haines carried
the ball te the 11-yard line en a completed forward pass, nnd, nfter three shots
at theline, the Quakers still had three vards te go en the fourth down.
, There was a brief consultation nnd Scott drew Haines te one side nnd
talked with bim. Frnnkferd was certain Hinkey was te run out nnd get a
pass behind the goal line, nnd he was completely covered. The teams lined up
and the ball was snipped te Scott.
Johnny stepped back and Ilnines. closely pursued by nt lenst five Yellow
Jackets, ran te the far corner of the field, wnvmg his hands and shouting for
the ball. He didn't have one rhunee in a million of getting It. and Scott was
aware of this. In the meantime, Heinle Miller ran behind his own line nnd
then crossed into the 10-yard zone.
He was all nlene nnd Scott threw the ball. It sailed straight into
Heinle s arms, and the former All-American end touched the ball down for
the winning score.
In a way this wns one of the most unique Independent ganrM ever played
There was mere spirit shown by the players thnn we ever hs.-e seen in a
similar contest. They fought desperately nnd tried ns hard te win as 1' they
had been en their college team in the biggest game of the year.
The bright star of the game was Dr. Jee Alexander, of Svrncuse rx-
anderwas a great lineman when in college, but is much better new. Time and
( again he broke up plays behind the line nnd was go i nt opening he'es en the
attack. Whitey Themas and Williams plnjcd well at end nnd Remmey was an
excellent halfback.
AN EFFORT is being made te select an all-star team from Frank-
ford, Ilelmcsburg, Conshehoclen and Union te play the Quakers
next Saturday.

FOR THE TITLES,
Net Contented With Junier
Crown, He Seeks Laurels of
Kilbane and Leenard
WANTS BOUTS AT WEIGHTS
By LOUIS II. JAFFE
JOHNNY DUNDEE Is in Philadel-j
t phla today, nnd he brought evcr
with him from New Yerk a fine line of
conversation speaking of large gobs of
money nnd nlse of chnmplenships. The
jumplng-jack jabber is being recognized
ns the junior lightweight tltleheltlcr
since winning en a foul from Geerge .
Chancy recently.
But Dundee is net all contented with I
one mere crown. He wants mere laurels
in fact two additional titles. Yes, I
thnt's right, Johnny wants te go Johnny i
Buff one better, nnd that in te become
a triple titlcheldcr.
Speaking financially, Dundee said to te
day: "I am rendy te pest a certified
check of $10,000 for a bout with Johnny
Kllbane at 120 pounds nt 2 o'clock te n
decision, nnd if he shows n willingness
te talk business I will go ns fur as te
mnke him n henu te step into the ring
with me. Ne kidding. I think I can
innke the featherweight weight a let
easier than Kllbane himself.
Tn chattering about n meeting with
Benny Ieenard for the lightweight
match. 13." rounds nt 2 o'clock, te u
decision. Johnny spells: "There's no'
rensen In the world why I Mietiltln't
be given Immediate recognition for a I
match with Benny. Yeu knew, I have j
met him en eight different occasions.
Seme times the papers gave me the
verdict, etner times they favored nim,
but at no time did Leenard return a
winner decisively. I feel sure I can
win from Benny en points In n decision
scrap."
Light Heavyweights
A pair of big boys, who pr ed them
selves light henvyweights that i-, light
en their feet are Eddystone Ml'lir,
whose first name is Alex, nnd Frankle
Brltten. This pair. Miller weighing
1C" and Brltten 170. put en one of the
most interesting, one of the hardest and
closest battles teen in a Philadelphia
rlnir.
They clashed In one of tlie prelim
inary at the National Saturday night,
and It was net until the flnnl sound of
the gong that a winner could be picked.
Brltten earning the laurels chiefly en
his work In the last round. Miller had
geno tired, and se did Brltten, but the
latter continued te punch mere con
sistently, and thereby bung the deci
sion. Throughout the match Brltten, the
boxer, and Miller, the slugger, Dntticu
all ever the ring. It was n vicious
scrnp exceedingly se, nnd, while each
connected with some terrific punches'
the end of the match found neither very
much marked.
Slackening up In the final frame of
an eight-round bout caused Jee Nelsen
te lese his match with "Irish Johnny"
Curtin In the wind-up. Curtin's mar
gin of victory was of the hair-line va
riety. Jee had a geed chance of win
ning the bout had he kept going in the
eighth round, but he didn't, and the
Irish lad finished a winner by n blinde.

NOT TOO IMPROBABLE
It May Belong te a Future Generation, but Wouldn't

Fifty-nine Heme Runs
By GRANTLAND HICE
TIie nig Fourth
Three teas the finure when the pig
Skin game was m its infancy ;
Yale, Harvard, I'nnccten were tnc nig.
The rest came scarce up te their knee
Infinltesimally wee.
Then did the name Big Four appear.
Hut new, despite the V. of P.,
There is a new Fourth every year.
'Twas Penn, indeed, dancing a jig
On Harvard's hide decisively
That caused the alien world te twig
That 'twas in fairness nccess'ry
Te add one te the holy Three.
But Penn dropped out; yet strangely
here
Came no return of trinity:
There is a new Fourth every year.
Old Dartmouth, caring net a fig
Fer crowns, -fomented anarchy
And forced the critics te rcnia
On Big Thrce stuff; and the Xavea
Occasionally went en spree.
Pitt, State, Cernell and Army, clear
Established new and then their plea:
There is a new Fourth every year.
Envoi
Thus has this sweetly come te be:
Ne football season can be drear
As fencr as all the teams agree
There is a new Fourth every year.

It mny net carry u reasonable trend.
but who would have suggested five years
age that some ball player would pep out
capable of making fifty-nine home runs
in n single mnjer lenguc sensen?
Nine seconds flnt mny belong te a
future generation, but it would net be
surprising te see the old mark cut down
te i) 2-5 seconds within n year or two
or three. Anil thnt wouldn't be ,ih up

GEORGIA TECH next fnll is plan
ning te meet both the Navy and
Pcnn State, in addition te looking nfter
its Southern clients. There is certainly
no tendency here te duck the issue,
Seuth or North,
THE big wonder in se many football
attacks is that the clement of crnft
or surprise was missing. Penn State
led in this matter of offensive deception,
with Harvard next in line. Geergln
Tech, for one example, proved te have
n strong line ngainst straight rushing.
Tlie Tech line, held Kcnyen and Flavin,
of Georgetown, two of the hnrdest run
ning backs of the year. Auburn, nn
old rival, only made something like one
first down. But Penn State, striking
with Killinger nnd Wilsen en split
plays, delayed passes nnd fnke thrusts,
romped through for four touchdowns.
The clement of deception upon nttack
in the liast is entirely tee thin.
