WILKES-BARRE IS BASKETBALL ATTRACTION FAMOUS SCORING CENTER HERE LARRY LAJOIE TO STAGE COMEBACK Major Clubs Anxious to Se cure His Services; Presi dent Barrow Willing Philadelphia, Dec. B.—Larry Lajoie may come back to the big show next year. Although the big Frenchman is past his forty-second year, his won derful hitting in the International League the past season, when he whacked the bulb for .380, and the inroads the draft has and will make in the major league clubs will proba bly result in the great player being deluged with offers from some of the rlubowners. At least three American League clubs are willing to pay Lajoie a good salary next season, and possibly one National League club might engage him as a manager. But "Larry's" fu ture depends on the future of the In ternational League, which may be set tled next week. It is said that Miller Huggins, of the New York Yankees, has designs on the former Cleveland idol and slugger who held his place at the top for twenty years in the fastest com vany of the National and American Leagues. President Barrow Willing "I am not in a position to predict! what action the International League i rlubowners will take at the meeting, j e*aid Barrow yesterday, when asked i what truth there was in the rumor that Lojoie might be purchased by the New York Americans. "This I will say, however, if the In ternational League should not be in ihe field and Colonel Ruppert were to ask my opinion I should strongly rec ommend that Lajoie be given a Yan kee contract. Despite his managerial i areer with a pennant winner last reason in Toronto, Lajoie played a •stronger game than he had shown in live years. At the position of first base Larry seemed to take a new hold of himself and restored his old-time ■ onfidem-e. He hit .380 and played in practically every game. No further indorsement is necessary. If it is true that Walter Pipp will not return I to the Yankees, I can of no i one who would be a better prospect! than Lajoie, provided the veteran was j put on the market." There is ii strong likelihood, how- i ever, that the International League I vll continue in business, as five of j the eight clubowners are anxious to! liuck fate a bit longer. Montreal, Rochester and Richmond are the i three clubs that would welcome a ' rest, though Rochester might easily ] be whipped into line if Syracuse and ! some other New York town could be j sugstituted for Montreal and Rich- | mond.

VITAL QUESTIONS UP TO MAJOR LEAGUE MUCH TO New York, Dec. B.—One of the ef-i fects of the war is the necessity for* a radical readjustment of the pro-j fessional baseball structure aud of the many proposed innovations and j curtailments suggested, the liniita-! tion of each club roster to eighteen players has aroused the greatest dls-; cussion. Magnates in both ,of the! major leagues are sharply aligned in j favor or opposition to this amend- J ment to the rules and It is likely that there will be considerable con- j troversy before the matter is adjust- | ed. The proposal is one which permits 1 of much argument with plenty o£ facts to support the contentions of the debaters. For instance it has: been pointed out that no club is re-; quired, at the present time, to carry the full limit of players and might go through the season with fifteen if it so desired. Clubs favoring a maximum of eighteen offer in re buttal the statement that certain or gar.izations, financially capable of supporting a twenty-five player team, would under such condition have n decided advantage over the club, which could not afford, in war times, to carry more than twenty at the outside. From other unofficial sources comes the claim that the re- i duction is advocated by certain clubs, ; the pennant chances of which would , be greatly strengthened if other for- i midable opponents were forced to I cut down their playing staff to con form with the proposed require-; ments. Increased Expenses The adoption of the rule would also require, in all probability, a change in the national agreement which at the present time places a j maximum limit of twenty-five play ers upon the clubs of the American j and National Leagues during the greater portion of the playing sea- ; son. This is further reduced to twen-j ty-two in the case of the National ■ League through a regulation in force | in the senior organization while thej American League holds to twenty- j five. One baseball authority brings out 1 the point that the cost of maintain-j !rg a big- league team has increased i Hershey Five Winner in Game With St. Luke Team Hershey, Dec.

McCarthy, United States Marshal, for the purpose of confining enemy aliens awaiting examination, it was learned I to-day. Further conferences dealing with the perplexing enemy alien situ ation in New York City were held during the day. The mayor's committee on national defense, through Archibald E. Steven son, announces that steps would be taken to induce the Federal authori ties to require every man and woman in the United States, whether citizen or alien, to register and receive an identification card, including finger prints and photograph. Mr. Steven son believes this well be the only ef fectual method of coplns with the problem. tremendously in the past twelve i months and is likely to advance still' further during the season of 1918.! The charge for hotel accommoda tions and meals, both on the trains and while in rival cities have reached | figures far beyond those existing in! previous years. The war tax alone: on railroad and Pullman reserva-1 tiOns will ad\i something like eigh teen per cent, to the transportation charges of traveling teams. Previous Player Limits A fair line of the number of play ers used in recent years can be gain ed from the lists of eligibles for the world series as promulgated by the National Commission each season since 1905. The teams, of course, in each case were the winners of their respective league pennants and yet the records disclose that there has been hardly a case where the full number of eligibles were actually called into action. Eighteen players registered by the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Athletics in 1905 is the minimum and the ave rage for the entire thirteen years Is twenty-two and a fraction players per team. The list follows: National League 1905, New York 18 1906, Chicago 20 1907, Chicago 22 1908, Chicago 20 1909, Pittsburgh 23 1910, Chicago .. 23 1911, New York \.. 25 1912, New York 23 1913, New York 24 1914, Boston < 26 1915, Philadelphia 22 1916, Brooklyn 22 1917, New York 24 American League 1905, Philadelphia 18 1906, Chicago 21 1907, Detroit 19 1908, Detroit 20 1909, Detroit 20 1910, Philadelphia 23 1911, Philadelphia 24 1912, Boston 22 1913, Philadelphia 25 1914, Philadelphia 24 1915, Boston 23 1916, Boston 26 1917, Chicago 24 Joint Meeting Is Off Until Date Is Selected Chicago, Dec. B.—B. B. Johnson, president of the American League, was officially advised by John K. Tener, president of the National League, that the joint meeting of the two organizations, scheduled to be held here next Thursday, has been called off. President Tener suggest ed that the meeting be held later in the month or early in January. "I was not particularly in favor of a joint meeting myself," President Johnson said, "but as the suggestion came from August Herrmann, presi dent of the Cincinnati club and chairman of the National Baseball Commission, I consented to it." President Tener explained that the National League which will meet in New York next Tuesday, probably would be unable Ito finish Its busi ness In time to come on to Chicago for the meeting. The American League members will hold their an nual meeting here next Wednesday. Ground Glass Found Mixed in Cracker Meal Pittsburgh, Dec. B.—Agents of the Department of Justice are making an investigation of the presence of finely ground glass in cracker meal shipped from this city to the mill districts of Ohio, it was learned to-day. The glass was found in sealed packages of cracker meal bought from *a local concern. Enos Moon, a restaurantkeeper at Wellsville, Ohio, whose trade is largely made up of millworkers, dis covered the glass In the cracker meal a few days ago when a piece stuck in his finger when he was frying oys ters. Investigation revealed that other boxes also contained the ground glass aifd the entire shipment was turned over to the mayor of Wellsville. The mayor notified Federal authorities here and Special Agent Dalton of the Department of Justice went to Wells ville to investigate. He learned that other persona in that district had received .shipments of the cracker meal and that it had been shipped by a Pittsburgh con cern. Warnings were issued in this district and to restaurant proprietors in the Ohio Valley, to examine all cracker meal closely before using it. Federal authorities rlfused to discuss the case, further than to admit that it was being investigated. The fact that munitions are being manufac tured in many Ohio Valley plants has led to the belief that pro-Germans are responsible for the presence ot the glass in the cracker meal.

If the title of world's greatest wrestler ever belonged any one man, the name is Gotch. Gotch was a master marvel. He had the needed bulk, weighing around 220 pounds. He was blessed with unusual physical strength. He was as quick as a streak of pink lightning. He had abnormal stamina and courage, and he was crafty beyond words. Beyond all this he knew every angle of his profession, every trick of the trade. And he had no compunction about inflicting punishment. When a man as powerful as Hackenschmidt, the Russian Bear, was unable to break through Gotch's defense there is very little that can be added in the way of direct testimony.

H. Leach and J. S. Myriclr. 1 Throughout one of the most lengthy and important sessions of the committee ever held prior to an annual meeting, the methods of re storing championship tournaments, NO CHANGE IN MAJOR GAMES Earlier Close of Season Is Probable Without Af fecting Schedule New York, Dec. B.—ln the opinion of President John K. Tener, express ed openly, the National League sea son of 1918 will open either on Wednesday, April 10, or on Thurs day, April 11. The campaign may close a few days earlier than has been customary of late, about Oc tober 1, but the schedule will call for 154 gamep for each club. President Tener is not given to bcasting and what he has to say can be taken as surely for the majority sentiment of his colleagues. Prac tically all of the club presidents of the National League favor the 154 games schedule. The contracts to which major league players are signed calls for salary payments cov ering a period of six months and the employers see no reason why the noble athletes should be paid unless they labor. The proposition -of a, joint meet ing with their American rivals is still agitating the club owners of the National League. Mr. Tener and his associates all believe a great good might result from such a confer ence, but are concerned over the date selected by August Herrmann, who practically pledged his circuit to a confab in Chicago on Thursday, December 13. Date Too Early "Such an early date," said Presi dent Tener, "puts the National League in a somewhat awkward po sition. To reach Chicago by Thurs day next the National League rep resentatives would have to set out from New York not later than 2.45 Wednesday afternoon. As our an nual meeting is not called until 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, such an arrangement would allow us only a few hours in which to transact busi ness. "It is possible, of course, that a few hours might be sufficient to get through with all the business phases that will be present. That is not likely, however, if precedent counts. The National League usually finds it difficult to conclude an annual meet ing inside three days and the com ing one seems quite as important as any of the past. Position Embarrassing "I think we might find ourselves in an embarrassing position if we arranged the date which Mr. Herr mann suggested. In case we did not finish our schedule of business we would have to adjourn temporarily, go to Chicago for an indefinite ses sion and then double-track back to New York to finish our annual meeting. ; "This is a matter which will prob ' ably be settled to-day, for I am try ing now to get a line on the wishes of the'elub owners of my circuit. I have suggested that the joint meet ing be held the week after next at some more central point, say Pitts burgh, Cincinnati or Cleveland. "In all probability we shall know before we go into executive session Tuesday just when and where this joint meeting will be held. Nobody knows now." concluded Tener. lof establishing greater activity and I other details connrctea with the I game were discussed. It was oflici | ally stated that the results of the deliberations of the committee and ita recommendations would not be announced until to-day. It was made plain by members of the committee that all of the work undertaken was of a constructive nature. The energies of the National Association will be used to keep the game alive and as active as possible in view of the war conditions. There will be no attempt to deal with the amateur rule question or revise playing laws until after the war. At that time the American Associa tion plans to submit a code of rules to all of the lawn tenuis playing na tions that can be established as a standard for the world.

Dec. 8. —The news that Manager Mike O'Neill of the gone but not forgotten Starry Stoppers is negotiating with the owners pf the Milwaukee team of the American Association for a managerial berth should cause no surprise. Mike, that is, was bound to go somewhere and it might as well be Milwaukee. Mike is a close biblical student, and when he sees "Mene, mene, tekel vpharsin" amidst the garter adver tisements on "that old right field wall lie translates it liberally that the lime has come to get him hence out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage—say, In the gen eral direction of Milwaukee. That is to say that Mike knows, just as you and I know, that the chances of Syracuse continuing in the State League next season—even assuming that there will be a State League next season, which there won't be—are too remote to tie one's summer eating *o. Therefore Mike, who downright enjoys eating, such is is looking for a chance to light somewhere and if there's a job in sight in Milwaukee Mike's out for it.

WELLY if 1 W COR/NBR^ It is always a safe bet that John IC. Tener, president of the National League, will change his opinion if it means success to baseball. He is now in favor of a_joint conference with the American League magnates, but the leader of the National League desires time to put certain questions up to his colleagues. His is not a one-man league. On the heels of the announcement of Honus Wagner's permanent retire- I ment fj-om baseball, comes reports to day that Napoleon Lajoie is to do the "comeback" stunt. He retired from the major leagues a year ago. Last year lie batted .380 in the Interna tional League, and if he steps back on .lie large circuit, probably with the New York Americans, he will have the chance to show those who had said that after fifteen years in the majors Ihe best in him was gone.
