WEDNESDAY EVENING,
BAN JOHNSON TO
FOR HIS COUNTRY'S FLAG;
CHANGES IN BASEBALLDOM
EDWARD G. BARROW
New York, Oct. 17. —Organized
baseball next year must get along
without its stoutest champion. Pres
ident B. B. Johnson, of the American
League. Miller Huggins will succeed
Wild Bill Donovan as manager of
the Yankees. Ira Thomas, for sev
eral years first lieutenant of Connie
Mack, will take charge of the St.
Louis Cardinals when Huggins trans
fers his allegiance to the American
League. John J. Evers in all prob
ability will manage the late world's
champion Red Sox. This depends
upon whether or not Jack Barry, a
most active member of the Naval
Reserves, fulfills his ambition of be
coming an officer of the Navy when
he goes up for examination this win
ter.
That panorama is the baseball lay
out at the present moment. Ban
Johnson, at least until the Euro
pean war is concluded, is through as
an active director of American
League destinies. Johnson hurried
away to Chicago after yesterday's
game at Mineola between the White
Sox and Giants, to close up his busi
ness affairs, so that he might accept
ntlarviJiice
Copyright, 1(17, Th Tribune Association York Tribune).
One of the most interesting aspects of the late world series has been
the transformation of Dave Robertson, the husky young Virginian right
fielding for the Gian.ts.
Two years ago Dave, then tagged with the ancient Second Ty Cobb la
bel, started out to make that label stick.
By July of 1916 he was batting .366 and hitting the ball with terrific
force.
A few weeks later his descent began. He dropped to .300. And this
year, in place of resuming, he slumped still further until he finished the
year below .260.
AND THEN—
As a result of this long slump from his old heights no great attention
was paid to Robertson when this series swung under way. Btit before any
one knew it Dave was out beyond such stars as Joe Jackson. Eddie Col
lins, Hap Felsch, Benny Kauff and .George Burns. By the fifth game he
had ten hits packed away, with an average only a shade below the four
game world series mark of Hank Gowdy in 1914. Robertson not only
started out hitting, but hitting with the ease and confidence of a Cobb at
his best.
From an average workman he had climbed to the appearance of great
ness, and it was no one or two-game flash.
Being a ball player of line speed and tremendous physical power, he
has only to carry this confidence along to be one of the great stars of the
game.
If Dave would go into an ordinary, everyday pennant-playing ball
game as he went into this world series his pace would be up around the
crest.
LIKE KAUFF
One of the most popular Giant athletes in a strictly personal way with
the White Sox has been Benny Kauff.
"I'll take my hat off to Kauff," remarked Eddie Collins. "In, the first
three or four games he went to bat thirteen times without a hit. Yet he
had no alibi to offer and no excuse to make. He knew ho\\ much was
expected of him, and it was easy to see his bitter disappointment in those
early games. But through it all he only blamed himself. 'The balls are
there to hit,' he told me, 'and I have no excuse to make.' "
STILL THE BEST
The fielding and batting of Eddie Collins from the start proved beyond
any debate that he was still the star second baseman of the game, and for
all-around value probably the greatest second baseman that ever lived. He
can hit, field, run bases and come through with any needed play. Old
timers refer to Fred Pfeffer. Pfeffer was a great second baseman, but he
could never hit within a block of Collins, according to basebalT veterans
who have seen both play.
Collins failed to bat .300 this last season. But when the series started,
even against left-handed pitching, he lost no great time in pulverizing the
ball. A left-handed batsman who can hit first-class left-handed pitching
as effectively as Collins did most of the way is not to be linked to any
known weakness at bat.
Coach Dr. Price Quits
With Ambulance Team
Allentown. Oct. 17.—Having devel
open a winning eleven from among
the great wealth of material in the
United States' Ambulance Camp, Dr.
John B. I*rlce has decided to relin
quish his work as coach of the Ambu
lance Corps team and give all his at
tention to coaching the Muhlenberg
football squad. Dr. Price had charge
of the Ambulance Camp squad three
weeks, during which he met them
from 2 to 4 every afternoon and from
that time on until dark drilled flie
Muhlenberg players. Working double
shift was pretty strenuous and the
Army boys are now in such shape
that he feels they will have a success
ful season. Losing to Penn-State and
Fordham early in the season, the only
criticism uttered about the Ambu
lance team was that there were so
many stars, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific Coast, developed under so
many different systems .of coaching,
that It was difficult to get them to
work together. The great construc
tive feat of developing a machine
that will perform effective teamwork
seems now to have been accomplished
by Dr. Price, as Is evidenced by the
result of last Saturday's game at Har
risburg and the coaching will hence
forth be done by the officers selected
as the board of coaches.

Harrow. Johnson's Successor
Edward G. Barrow, president of
the International League, will suc
ceed Mr. Johnson as American
League executive. That fact is cer
tain. As certain as the fact that
Huggins will pilot the Yankees in
lyiS. Huggins' appointment was ar
ranged by Johnson. It was a dicta
torial arrangement which will not
be discussed at length here. Colonel
Ruppert was the party of the third
part. Mr. Johnson said:
"I am through with baseball until
the end of the war. I'm going over
to join Captain Huston. I'll bet you
a new hat I beat him into the
trenches. The American League is
well fortified against the future. It's

sion war may involve. I am for the

ALTOONA ELEVEN
SATURDAY BILL
Meet Tech in Game at Island
Park; Mountaineers Are
Strong Bunch
Tech High school's football eleven
will try to stage a comeback after
its erratic contest at Easton last Sat
urday afternoon when it dropped its
first contest of the season by a 31
to 19 tally. Coach Ryan has been
pointing out to the players the weak ]
points that developed last Saturday,
and hopes to make a better show
ing on the island when the Altoona
aggregation comes from the moun
tain division of the Pennsylvania
Interscholastic Athletic Association.
Football as a school sport was
dropped at Altoona In 19u8. Since
then the Mountaineers have been
taking first honors in basketball aftd
baseball. The Altoona team at the
cage games last season won 27 out
of 29 contests, and won six straight
contests in as many days on a souh
ern trip.
Bloomshurg; Star in Charge
Athletics at Altoona are in charge
of A. J. Sharadin. lie is a graduate
of Bloonisburg Normal, the
sity of Pennsylvania and Springtield,
Mass., Y. M. C. A. College. In their
first season after a lapse of eight
years, the Altoona team has won one

In tho first start, Mount Union Hig'\
school was walloped 49 to 0. The
State College High school contest
was a no-score tie. Last Saturday
the Altoona team dropped a hard
game at Clearlield, 21 to 0.
The latter aggregation is the team
that laid claims to championship
honors last fall, and offered induce
ments to Tech to play a post-season
contest at that place for the state
championship.
The Tech band and cheer leaders
will be out in force, and one of the
largest crowds of the season will
likely turn out to the game to see
the caliber of ball played by the
visitors. "Shorty" Miller is sched
uled to referee, while Johnson will
act as umpire.

WAR'S EFFECT ON
MOTORCAR SALES
Studebaker Vice - President
Says Shortage of Motorcars
Very Probable
"Present conditions were never
better for the sale of automobiles,"
says L. J. Oilier, vice-president and
director of sales of the Studebaker
Corporation. "But I also want to
emphasize the fact that the future
is full of uncertainty—not because
of a diminishing desire upon the
part of the public for a car, but
due to the increasing cost of mate-j
rials and the great demands being i
made by the Government for all!
base metals.
"In my estimation, prospective!
purchasers of an automobile who!
buy their car at this time are show-!
ing a great deal of foresight. Auto-j
mobiles will probably never again l
be as low in price as they are right s
now —surely, not for many years to j
come. Furthermore, there's every |
prospect that the great world war,
will eventually cause a shortage of j
automobiles. It Is certain that the!
tremendous requirements of ourj
government will so deplete available'
supplies of materials that practically
all makers will be forced to >greatly |
curtail, and in some instances cease,
production. '
"Those who are waiting for the
coming of peace to reduce the cost'
of motorcars are sure to suffer dis-1
appointment. Right now officials of
the Government are constantly di
verting the materials which form
the basis of automobile production
war requirements. After ne'ice
has finally been declared, and the
world is again 'safe for democracy,'
it will fall upon this country to re
build devastated Europe. Conse
quently we can hope for no change
in the material and labor market—
it may even become more acute than I
at the present time.
"Although we cannot build motor- I
cars without steel, still it is not the j
determining factor in automobile!
production. It Is Just one of the ma- j
terial items that go to build a mod-j
ern motorcar, and other things, such
as leather, tires, paint and glass, j
aluminum and fiber, patent devices, j
and a score of other materials are|
keeping up with no signs of drop- >
ping.
"Labor is another important ele- j
ment that must be considered. Noth-!
ing, as far as I know now, can hap-!
pen to bring down labor costs. The I
tendency, in fact, seems to he all the I
other way. It is my opinion that
the advances in the labor items will |
more than offset the decreases made
by lower prices for steel.
"The impression that got about j
when the new rates on steel .werej
fixed by the Government that auto-;
mobile prices would drop at once is j
hardly justified by the facts. Prices!
for 'l9lß models' may be as much as
50 per cent, higher than prevailing
prices—and that in-the face of the
fact that practically all manufactur
ers have recently been forced to
make sharp advances.

nounces the appointment of Wallace
C. Hood, one of the veterans of the
automobile industry as sales man
ager for the King Eight. Mr. Hood
took over the reins of the sales de

, in closer touch with the retail sell
! ing organizations that dispose of the
' factory's output. He also plans to
increase both the distributor and
| 'dealer staffs, of the King Eight.
| Mr. Hood started in the automo
■ bile industry back in 1902 as eastern
nd southern sales supervisor tor
J the Rambler, made by the Thomas
iB. Jeffery Co., Kenosha, Wis. In
| 1904 he took up the same work for
I the famous E. R. Thomas Company,
|in Buffalo. When the Thomas and
I Chalmers interests opened the pres
j ent Chalmers plant as the Chalmers-
Detroit factory Mr. Hood was soon
called to Detroit to enter the sales
department.
He afterwards was promoted to
the sales managership of the Chal
mers factory and remained there
until soon after the formation of the
etzc r" Motor Ca> - Com pan v, when
he accepted a similar executive posi
tion with that organization, remain
ing until it was absorbed by the pres
ent Maxwell company. His next af
filiation was with the Briggs-De

I of that organization until it changed
I hands and became the Detroiter in

Mr. Hood th£n organized the Wal-
I lace C. Hood Service Bureau, in Dc

New York. Oct. 17.—Protesting
against the action of the National
Baseball Commission in holding out
? 1,000 of the individual shares of
prize money of each world's series
player until December 1 as a guar
antee that they will not participate

petition to the Commission yesterday
in which they said:
"We, the undersigned, hereby de
clare and agree not to participate as
individuals o'r as a team in any game
after this day at Camp Mills, Long
Island."
The petition was signed by each
of the Chicago and New York play
ers eligible to participate in the re
cent world's series, and was handed
to the Commission at yesterday aft
ernoon's game at Garden City, N. Y.,
by Edward Collins and Charles Her

Upland's millionaire baseball mag

Last year after the Boston Red
Sox had won the world's title, they

New Haven against a team of All-
Stars, organized by Harry Davis, of

Pop Kelchner, the coach at Al

ter how much It hurts him, he tells
the truth. Yesterday when talking
about the loss of lost Saturday's

was too much for Albright. Swope

like a good year for Dickinson.

threatened to withhold SI,OOO to
guarantee against a violation of the
rules, the Chicago players had

the members of the Commission,
agreed to call the game off and last

game, said that no attempt would be
made to play at Upland, although
the SIO,OOO guarantee looked like
pretty safe money.

before the various game seasons
opened, this year, according to Mr.
Rutherford, the men have been com

on the last few days before the late
seasons may result in a larger num
ber of licenses being issued this year
than last.
"The interest In hunting certainly
has not decreased," Mr. Rutherfprd
said. "J'-ach day as the men line up

This man, who, since the war start
ed, has taken twe.nty-one trips to
Europe with horses for France,
claims that although the horse or
mule will no longer be good for active
service, it may be used for light farm
work if these legs are used.
The leg, or crutch, which has been
used successfully in this country; is
made of steej, with a special Quadrant
spring imitating the vertical and
lateral flexings of the ankle and fet
lock. By means of this tuaay crip
pled horses and' mulea, whlctf: would
otherwise be killed, will b given a
chance to live.
