SPORTS-CENTRAL IS READY FOR HARD BATTLE-SPORTS
WANTS PLAYERS
TO GET MONEY
Garry Herrmann Talks on
World's Scries Cash
Divisions
I;
Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 20.—Various
■baseball men, ranging from league
presidents and club owners down to
plain fans, have been sticking in their
various oars for about a week now tell
ing what should be done about the
world's series. All seem agreed that
something must be done. They say
the lure of the world's series coin has
driven players and magnates to money
madness and that unless the method
of conducting the serins is changed
there will be a big scandal in baseball
before long.
Garry Herrmann, chairman of the
national commission and president of
the Reds, is one of those who favor a ,
new deal in connection with the series,
and his plans are different from those
other baseball men have expressed.
Herrmann told for the first, time
what he hopes to do in connection
with the big games:
Herrmann Tallis
"I don't know what will be done
about the series—the next one is too
far away," he said. "But If I had my
way about it I would fix it so that
every ball player in each major league
would share in the world's series spoils
Instead of giving all the money to the
players on the pennant-winning teams.
"I first would increase the series
from seven to nine games and allow
the players to share in the receipts of
the first five games.
"Next I would guarantee the players
on the winning club about $1,500 each,
with SI,OOO each going to the members
of the losing team. That,.l believe, is
sufficient reward for the few games
they play.
"I believe that we then would have
enough money left in the players' pool
to give each player of the second place
clubs SSOO.
"Grading down, we could give each
third place player S4OO, each fourth
place man S3OO, fifth place $250, sixth
place S2OO, seventh place $l5O and
eighth place SIOO. This schedule might
be subject to revision, but I believe
the various sums would approximate
about these amounts.
Incentive to Players
"By distributing this annual reward
we would create an incentive for all
the players to try to finish as high as
possible, as each position attained
would mean extra money.
"All of the club owners of both
leagues now share in the world series,
so why shouldn't all of the players?
' Twenty-five per cent, of the money
earned on the series by each club
owner is turned over to his league and j
this reduces each club's assessment.
"I also believe that by stretching the
series out to nine games we could re
duce the admission prices."

AMERICAN LEADS
IN ALL BASEBALL
Minor Races Close; Furnish
Many Thrills on Wind-up;
Two Seasons Popular
New York, Oct. 20.—The close of
the baseball season of 1916 found the
American League pre-eminent, due to
its victories in the world's series and
the two city series which composed
the post-season schedule of the base
ball year. Of the six teams which
figured In these contests the junior
league trio won twelve of the fourteen
games played.
The Boston Americans defeated the
Brooklyn Nationals four out of live
games; the St. Louis Americans won
in a similar manner from their Na
tional rivals, and the Chicago Ameri
cans took four straight from the Chi-
I cngo Nationals. This playing form
was a sharp reversal from the result
of the Scjring series, when the Na
tional League clubs won twenty-four
names out of the thirty-nine inter
league contests played just previous to
the opening of the two major league
pennant races.
Minor Races Close
In the minor leagues the majority of
the flag struggles were reasonably
close and there were less financial diffi
culties and disrupting of leagues than
was the case a year ago. Among the
circuits that confined their schedules
to one season the winning club of the
Eastern League showed the highest
percentage when Now London finished
with 86 games won and 34 lost for a
total of .717.
More leagues than usual divided !
their seasons into two parts and In
| some cases the winner of the first por- I
tion of the season met the victor of the
second half in a play-off for the cham
pionship of the league. This system
found considerable favor with the fans
and is likely to be adopted more gen
erally next summer.
The ,final standing of the various
clubs and leagues, both in the post
season and regualr pennant races, Is
shown in the appended tables:

PITT READY FOR SYRACUSE
Pittsburgh, Oct. 2 o.—Pitched into a
series of games with powerful oppo
nents. with only one lighter event pre
ceding. the Pitt football team is play
ing probably the hardest schedule set
before any college eleven in the coun
try this year. Last Saturday Warner s
men traveled to Annapolis and fought
it out with the rejuvenated Middies;
to-morrow they face. In the Syracuse
bowl, the big Orange team; a week
hence comes the biggest game of the
year, from the local standpoint, when
Llob Folwell's team carries the colors
of Pennsylvania on B'orbes Field. If
the wily coach can lead his men
through this program without defeat
and still in shape to face the coming
trials against Washington and Jeffer
son. Carnegie Tech. and Penn State,
he should be credited with a marvelou,
achievement.
WELLY'S II CORNER
Football, according to local en
thusiasts, gets its real start to-mor
row when Tech meets Steelton. The
Coach Taggart bunch will have an
advantage in the first game in being
at home. No one predicts a one-sided
score. Steelton eleven has been show
ing even better form than one year
ago. Tech will not go into the game
looking £or something easy.
Central High eleven is booked for
a real exhibition of football to-mor
row. No matter what conditions may
be with the Stevens Trade School
team, the plays will be to make as
many points as is possible. If the
Trade school proves easy in the first
half Coaches Smith and Harris may
send in substitutes for the last half.
This will be due to the fact that next
week Central meets Steelton and it
is the desire to keep the players from
the injured list. It is the general be
lief that players are more likely to
pet injuries when opposition is weak
than in a hard battle.
Former football stars got into a
game yesterday. The Marshalls
battled with the Harris eleven. It
was a scoreless same but the work
of each individual showed that foot
ball knowledge is not all with scholas
tic and collegiate players. These boys
have been in the game and some are

PRACTICE DURING RAIX FALL
Annville, Pa., Oct. 20. Lebanon
\ alley held practice last night in a
downpour of rain. Sinco the injury
°f ex-Captain Swartz on Wednesday
night, Coach Guyer was afraid to take
a chance on scrimmages so the prac
tice consisted in a long signal drill.
On examination the doctors found
that Swartz was suffering from a badly
torn ligament and would be out of
the game for several weeks and possi
bly the remainder of the season. With
him out of the game the chances at
Lehigh to-morrow are lessened.

Series Takes Place Tomorrow
on Cottage Hill Field
"Beat Steelton" was the slogan
adopted at Tech this morning at the
final mass meeting held prior to the
game to be played at that place by the

ball eleven. The entire student body
gathered in the school auditorium at
twenty minutes before nine and prac
ticed the yells and' songs to be used at

Cheer Leader Smith and his assist
ants had charge of the meeting, and
more "pep" and enthusiasm was seen at
the gathering than any similar meet
ing held in the last several years.
Tech In Good Shape
Coaches Pendergast and Miller have
the Maroon warriors primed for the
conflict, and while the local aggrega
tion is not expecting an easy contest
they will enter the game with their
strongest line-up. and roll up as big
a score as possible.
There will be practically no changes
In the line-up. The same players will
be in the game at the start who have
been in the Lebanon and Easton games.
Fresh players will be rushed in, as the
contest advances.
