AHIOtHER BIG STORM Miy BREAK TOW Cyclone Looked For When Na tional Magnates Get Down to Basiness By CMP Storms now beating about the Jer sey coast and putting a crimp in busi ness in general may be summer breezes in comparison with the storm that is likely to break over baseball headquarters in Xew York City to day with the National, American and International Leagues allied against the Feds, a storm with cyclonic pro- is predicted. Early reports from the storm cen ter Indicate a fight to a finish. Na tional League magnates as they lined up for battle to-day, gave notice that measures of a drastic character would be resorted to, in order "to prevent the Federal League from breaking up ' the game." In the opinion of Gov ernor John K. Tener, head of the Na tional League; Garry Herrmann, president of the National Commis sion, and Ban B. Johnson, head of the American League, the jumping of players to Federal ranks is a mere trifle. They say It is the efforts on the part of the Feds to undermine the foundations of the major leagues, through financial trickery that will be fought. Garry Herrmann yesterday said that Marquard's action, and the sign ing £>f Plank, Bender and Johnson by the Feds, is a matter between the clubs concerned and that thus far the jumpers have eome from ranks where there were internal turmoils. "It is these conditions." says Garry Herr mann, "that will bring about a reor ganization of all teams. The first business to be transacted after re ports are presented will be the dis cussion of plans by which National League fortifications may be strength ened. and contract jumping stopped. The keynote for the National League battle, and plans, according to re ports, will come with Governor Ten er'a annual report to-day. This docu ment is anxiously awaited, and may furnish interesting reading for base ball fans." | What Shall I i Give Him?

"Pep" Young May Land Detroit Regular Job Special to The Telegraph Detroit, Mich., Dec. 8. —"Pep" | Young is the name of a second base-1 man whom the Detroit club obtained | from the Pacific Coast League. Young, I it is expected, will show well enough j to get the regular job on the team.' He is not a very young player, how- j ever, being 25 years old, but he did not j break into the game until he was a i shining star on the Harrisburg Tri-! State team. A Western writer, in' speaking of Young, says: "Young is 25 years old, stands five feet five inches and weighs 165. He' broke into the game in 1911 with, Harrisburg, Pa., had a trial with the 1 j New York Americans later and they' I sent hint to Sacramento, where he j spent the last two seasons, developing ; into a star this year. "At bat 'Pep' looks them over from j either side of the plate, but is addicted ; to batting slumps. This fault can be j forgiven him if he hits them the way! he did the last five weeks of the Coast ? League season this year. Coming out: of a slump and striking his stride sud- ' denly five weeks before the season' ended. Young batted for an average better than .600 ln that time. A fellow able to turn a trick like this is entitled to slumps and can take j them in Detroit, where little Vitt is on j hand to break into the game at the ! beck of the freckled hand." J. FRANKLIN BAKF.K NEXT Will Jump to the Feds During the Next Two Weeks, Say Reports Special to The Telegraph St. Louis, Mo., Dec. S.—J. Franklin j Baker, one-time world's series fence buster, will leap from the Mackmen! to the St. Louis Federals. He will take the Jump some time within the next two weeks. , Chief Bender, who signed a Federal League contract, will join Eddie Plank on Fielder Jones' team, if Jones wants' him. St. Louis has an option on Ben- I der. The St. Louis management is' leaving all signing of players in Jones' i hands. There will be a star a day jumpi from the ranks of organized ball to I j the Federals for at least the next two l ! weeks. This was the gist of a state-1 | ment last night by Phil Ball, of the j i St. Louis Federals. j "We do not want a lawsuit over ! Baker," said Ball. "We don't want | any more lawsuits than necessary. I i have reason to believe, however, "that we can get Baker without the chance of being beaten afterwards in the courts." Ball announced authoritatively that Baker and Connie Mack are on the outs, since Baker told Mack that he had been offered a place with the Federals and wanted a new contract and more money." "Plank," continued Ball, "was the first star to jump. Next day it was Johnson. Marquard followed and to day it was Bender. This will con tinue each day for at least two weeks."
