NEW MAJOR LEAGUE
COMES WITH CHANGES
American Association to Have
Draft and Player Privileges
Equal to Any
Special to Th* Telegraph
Chicago, Jan. 29.—The American
Association has taken another big step
—the biggest so far —in its progress
toward the high places of baseball,
according to President Chivington,
having gained from the National Com
mission the promise that the major
leagues' power of draft over it will
be given up^
In addition, the commission has
agreed to grant the association the
right to enter certain cities now in
the American or National Leagues and
will turn over a number of players.
But representation on the National
Commission and participation in the
world's championship series are "steps
not yet taken," according to Mr. Chiv
ington. •
The concession, which was first an
nounced to-day by President McGill,
of the Indianapolis club, makes the
association a major league, on equal
terms with the American and Na
tional, so far as the draft is concerned,
<<U»i vington said. What other differ
ences it will make in interleague rela
tions will be arranged by the commis
sion. though action is not expected
until after a decision in the antitrust
suit, he concluded.
"Appeal to Reason" Editor
Will Speak Tonight
Fred D. Warren, the militant editor of
the Appeal to Keason, a Socialist pa
per, will tell the story of his light
against alleged corruption in the fed
eral judiciary.
After being sent to prison for his at
tacks on federal judges several years
ago Warren was unconditionally par
doned by President Taft without any
request by himself or fellow-Socialists.

FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JANUARY 29, 1915.
JOHN K. TEIHER IS
NOW IN FULL CHADGE
Reports at Headquarters and
Hands Out Some Interesting
Facts
New York, Jan. 2 9.—John K. Tener,
formerly Governor of .Pennsylvania,
to-daj- officially t<Sok charge of the ex
ecutive offices of the National league
for the first time since he was elected
president, almost a year ago. He oc
cupied the main seat in the local offices
of the parent baseball organization and
from it discoursed on current happen
ings in the national pastime.
Among the points brought out by
Mr. Tener were that August Herrmann
was certain to be re-elected chairman
of the National Commission; that there
seemed little possibility that the com
mission would be increased to four
members, which would give the minor
leagues a representative on tho su
preme court of baseball; that the play
ers now are given the benefit of the
doubt in all cases brought before tho
commission: that there is no assur
ance that minor leagues of AA classi
fication would be exempted from drafts
and that a 5 per cent, tax on baseball
would be an injustice to a public in
stitution already heavily taxed.
Mr. Tener refused to comment upon
the action heard in Chicago recently
in connection with the Federal league.
He said he had perfect confidence in
Jduge Landis and was certain that the
United States judge would give a cor
rect verdict. Asked if a verdict for
the Federal League would be correct.
Mr. Tener said that he would accept
as correct and final any decision given
by JudKe Landis.

Answering Call as an Emergency
Man, This Star Shows Real
Form and Plays Game Like an
Old-Timer
John R. Larew, a Dillsburg boy,
who has been elected captain of the
baseball nine at Lebanon Valley Col
lege, ha,s played on that team for the
past four years. He is not only a
real star in this line of athletics, but
has been a member of the football
eleven for four years, acting as the
team's captain in his sophomore year.
He is one of the most popular men in
college and is identified with many
of the school's organizations.
When Larew started to play ball
he was a real novice, not having had
any knowledge of the game whatever.
He never cared for baseball. One
day Lebanon was shy and he was
asked to get busy. He picked up the
game rapidly and is now a star.

11 MORE lOIS
FOR CENTML LEIGUE
Attendance Last Season Warrants
the Belief That a Larger Circuit
Will Show Profit
One baseball is not
worrying' over injunctions these days
is the Central Pennsylvania organiza
tion. In four towns last summer,
Steelton, Higlispire, Middletown and
New Cumberland, the game was a big
success; so much so, that the coming
season will find six clubs on the cir
cuit.
The decision to take in two more
towns was reached at a meeting held
last night at Steelton. There are five
applicants for admission. The names
of Ihe new towns, and those seeking
a place in the Central league, will not
be made public until February 7, at
which time plans for next season will
be announced. Lebanon made appli
cation, but was turned down. Frank
Stees, the president of the league,
was authorized to make inquiries and
report at the next meeting the names
of two towns offering best induce
ments.
Statistics presented by President
Stees showed that 23,98."! persons paid
to see baseball in the Central league
last season. The average attendance
at the mages was 604. The largest
crowd attending a game was on July
4 at Ilighspire when 1,818 persons paid
admission. The second largest was at
Steelton at the opening of the season
when I,o9t'i persons attended: The
average attendance at Middletown was
662.

! "Billy" Sunday to Undergo
Operation on His Throat
II Special to The Telegraph
I Philadelphia, Jan. 29.—"8i11y Sun
i day's voice is giving out under the
s strain of his tabernacle tirades, and
i liis throat is in such condition that It
lias £sen found to hav<^jje-
I course to surgical means to prevent
lasting impairment of his vocal hcords.
The operation will be performed at
Sunday's home at 1914 Spring Garden
street on February 9 by Dr. Goehr
ing, of Pittsburgh, who has attended
the evangelist in previous campaigns
in other cities.
Under stress of his daily declama
tions, Sunday's voice began to give out
a week or no ago, and lost much of its
carrying power, according to Dr.
Drew, the evangelist's personal physi
cian. Recently the evangelist has
been forcing his voice, and the trouble
has become accentuated. I,ast night,
after his two sermons. It was painful
for Sunday to talk.
"The operation will be only a minor
one," declared Dr. Drew, "and Mr.
Sunday may not even miss a sermon
if things go as we expect."
