MIKE KELLY TO
MAKE A FIGHT
Does Not Care to Go to the st.
Louis American League
Club.

Cincinnati. Sept. 2.-The purchase Of Man
ager. Mike Kelley Of the St Paul American
association ion, club by the St Louis American
mission here yesterday. The sales of four
other st. Paul players to the browns were an
nounced. The players are: Shortstop o. Brien
Catcher Sullivan, Pitcher Sagle and Fielder
Hemphill. The sale of Kelley was stopped be-
cause the player-manager has case pending
before the commission
He claims that under his contract the st.
Paul club can neither sell nor reserve him.
Kelley objects to berth in st. Louis and pre-
fers to accept the offer to manage the Toledo
club next year, which virtually would be a
stepping stone to the management of National
league club, according to current belief.
In view of the rule adopted yesterday against
the covering up of players. the browns are in
for complications with the st. Paul club, which
has been riddled of talent, and Kelley is not
likely to go to st. Louis. The case will be
decided within two weeks.
| Drafting for players for next season was the
| most important matter to some before the COM
mission yesterday Before the meeting 1t was
said that all players secured in legitimate
| manner will be given to the clubs that claim
| them, but where there is flaw in the deal or
| the same is proved not to be bonafide, the COM
mission will declare such transactions void.
The first important business transacted was
| the adoption Of amendment to the drafting
rule offered by August Hermann of Cincinnati
intended to give better protection to the players
and to prevent covering up players by drafting.
The rule as adopted follows:
| Wherever. the minor league player has been
purchased by, a major league club, such player
cannot revert back to any minor league club
during the year following such purchase, unless
all major league clubs in both the National
and American leagues shall have waived claim
to his services. And If such waivers cannot be
secured, then the player shall either return tt
| the club purchasing him or be transferred to the
| club refusing to waive claim to him, by sale
to such club. And in such instances the pur
chase price shall be the same as is now fixet
by National and American leagues $1,000 II
like cases.

Special to The Journal.


Iowa City, Iowa, Sept. 2-The University of
Iowa preliminary football season will open here
Monday, and the clans are gathering today.
Manager Jones and Coach Chalmers are in the
city and will give their candidates the first talk
of the season the afternoon of the 4th. One of
the newcomers on the field will be Glenn Grit

players whose red heads have flashed on Iowa's
gridiron for the past eight years Like the
two "Reddys'' before him, this Griffith is

will keep him off the first eleven, but he will

Stren, end; Captain Mcgowan, funback; Atkin-
son and lockwood, guards Chalmers, halfback;
Kent, quarter, and Moore, center. Allen, who
shows no signs Of his battle with typhoid, will
be after his old post at half; Earl Fitz, 30
pound man, will try for tackle; Felkner who
weighs 230 pounds, will try for center; Murphy,
Simons, Brown and Myler crack sprinters and
murders, will go after end, and Upper, second
eleven half, will be seen at that place. Nc
Mahon, Iowa's champion discus thrower, will

every point on the team, will be on hand and
Burton, new player, altho in the "U'' last
year, will show what his four years in the
Shenandoah high school have done for him. He
has played end, tackle, and full.
Manager Jones, speaking of the Iowa Minnesota
game, said today: cit is too early to predict
what we can do to the gophers. We surprised
them last Thanksgiving day, and we will have

PARRY Is IN POOR
SHAPE FOR FOOTBALL

Chicago, Sept. ED Parry, the University
of Chicago giant football tackle and hammer
thrower, has reported for the football practice
with his right foot in sling He has had a bad
infection and is just recovering from severe
attack of sickness AS result he will be of
little use to Coach Stage for at least a month.
After returning to his home in Oskaloosa,
Iowa, from the Portland games in which he
competed for the G. A. A., blood poisoning set
in from scratch on his heel and for the past
three weeks he has been in bad shape. He re-
turned to Chicago Thursday to receive treatment.
He looks thin and says that he is far from
being well man. 1t will take several weeks
to get Parry into condition for football. Parry
will weigh over 200 pounds when In condition.
He has gained about twenty pounds this year.
A permanent disability to Parry would be a
severe loss to the Maroons as he is undoubtedly
one Of the very best tackles in the west.

Cornell Gains Star.

The most interesting recent bit Of gossip re-
garding important recruits for the colleges from
the ranks Of the school players is that to the
effect that Elmer Thompson, the star guard Of
the Phillips -Andoyer eleven, had decided to cast
his lot with Cornell instead Of with Yale as he
had originally intended. Thompson is considered
by some followers Of the game to be the most
promising preparatory-school player entering the
college ranks this fall, and the switching OF
his allegiance from New Haven to ithaca at the
eleventh hour is said to have caused great sor-
row In the Eli camp. It is gossip that Thomp-
sons decision to give Yale the go-by was due
to the fact that his brother, NJ. j. Thompson,
was candidate for the position OF trainer at
Yale and failed ito get the job, which went to
Johnny Mack OF Mefcersburg.
Whatever the reason of young Thompson's
change Of heart after having passed the Yale
entrance examinations his accession to the Cor
| nell ranks is brilliant achievement for POP
Warner Cornell's able and popular coach Thomp
sons presence in the Ithaca line will vastly
! improve Warmers chances of turning out ar
eleven of the highest class Incidentally Coach
Bill Reid Of Harvard, who would like to have
/ had Thompson for the crimson line, is probably
highly pleased thatYale has missed getting this
preparatory school star.
