ing the American League These men
should have consulted the American League
representatives about a matter in which
both are deeply interested. and are under
an agreement to make as fair as possible to
both.
Both leagues have clubs in Boston. New

Independent about the schedule.
In st. Louis the American League club
has the long end Of the patronage and the
stronger team. while in Chicago. Comiskey
must be given the prize picture for the
goods in the way of world heaters. In
Philadelphia it's a One-sided proposition.
while in New York the once famous Giants
have nothing on the American League
team. In Boston there Is no desire for con-
flicting dates.
Year after year the National League led
by Barney Dreyfuss, has tried to put the
American League "in bad with schedule,
knowing that the younger organization
didn't care to start out too early on account
of having three lake cities where the
weather is unfavorable for base ball in
early April. If the National League would
follow the example of the American League
and let its capable president take care of
the schedule 1t would be better for both
leagues and the game.
Knowing President Johnson's ability to
take care of important affairs the Amer
lean League magnates will rest easy as to
the outcome of the dates assigned their
clubs next season
AS to the public. all that it is interested
in is to have as few conflicts as possible,
so 1t can take in all the games in the cities
where two teams are located.

NELSON NOW WILLING
TO GIVE BATTLE

NEW YORK, January "A cablegram
received last evening from Battling Nelson
contains the first and positive announce
ment of the terms upon which the Dane is
willing to again meet Joe Cans. The mes
sage reads: Arrived safely after stormy
passage; match Cans; $4,000; So per cent
to the winner and 30 to loser; fight in Au-
gust"
Nelson's message evidently was inspired
by the receipt by him of the news of Cans
victory over Herman. He learned of the
result upon his arrival at Liverpool.
Nelson has not before stated the terms
upon which he intends to face Cans the sec
ond time. Ever since the negro fought him
to a standstil at Goidfield and won on a
foul Nelson has said that he was anxious
to try conclusions once more.
Immediately after the fight Cans, his
prestige increased by the showing made
against Nelson. announced that if another
match was arranged he would insist upon
naming the conditions
Nelson had the long end of the bargain
before the Goldfeld battle. 1t is a ques-
ton If Nelson's terms will meet with the
approval Of Cans. Cans stated after his
victory over Herman that he was eager for
another match with the Dane.

CLARK GRIFFITHS
BASE BALL CAREER

Clark Griffith has written q brief sketch
of his own base ball career. which reads:
My first season in fast company-at least
my first professional engagement-was with
the Bloomington Reds of the Interstate
League. This was in the spring of 1887. 1
started out as a pupil of Charley Rad
bournes, who by the way, was the great
est twirler of the days gone by on record
Radbourne was then in his palmy days. and
what he didn't know about the game was
in the books. Well, 1 worked with Rad
bourne a season. and then / left the Bloom
ington team to take a tryout with Milwau-
kee. l stayed three seasons with Milwau-
kee--1SSS, 1889 and 1890. Eighteen hundred
and ninety was the year the big war broke
out between the National League and the
American Association, and l jumped over to
Comiskeys ST. Louis Browns. Chris Won
der Abe then owned the Browns and we
had team for true They finished second
in the race that year, but before the season
was out l went to Boston in the American
Association. We had the good luck to finish
first, so l started out in fast company with
a pennant winner. In 1892 things didn't
break as smoothly. so 1 signed up with Oak
land, in the California League and took
trip to the coast In 1893 l came back to
Chicago. / was then in the National
League, and it was here 1 first played I'M
der Arson. Old Pop was a great ball
player in his day and one of the greatest
managers the game ever knew. He is out
now-out for good-but his name will last
and be remembered when others are for
gotten. He was as honest as the day, and
/ never knew him to turn a trick that
wasn't right. Old Pop was a hitter, too
The way that fellow lined up against q
high ball was a sin. and I've seen him
smash EN- time and again all over the lot ;
just long as they kept 'em around his
neck 1t was all off He was better when
two strikes had been called on him than
any other time. Why, I've seen him walk
to the plate and let the first two balls come
right across the center and never move
Line this one out, Pop We would tell him
but unless 1t came where he wanted it Pop
wouldn't move his bat, and that's where he
made a great hitter of himself. He waited
until he got one where he wanted it, and
then-good-bye. Arson played his last
game in 1897 with Chicago. The next sea-
son he managed the Giants a month or So
but was let out and retired. He was forty
six years old then. and decided to quit for
good Well, l left the Chicago Nationals
when the war between the National and
American leagues came up and went over
to the other side. / signed with Chicago
again. but / was with Comiskey in the
American League ranks. Then l became

SCHRECK SORE
AT BILL BRADLEY

"Ossie Shreck vows he will never speak
to me again." says Bradley. the Cleveland
third baseman. to a Cleveland Press repor-
ter. Remember the day last June when
Ossie danced a two-step and q Jig in Cleve
land looking for the ball? Well, we had
two runs in that inning and men on first
and second when 1 came to bat. Dygert
let fly spit ball that hit in front Of the
plate. and after striking Schreck in the
chest protector dropped right between his
fairy feet. After he had danced around
about thirty seconds. and Rossman and
Congalton were tearing around the bases.
yelled to Schreck that the ball had gone
to the Cleveland bench. Off he started for
1t. AS he took his feet with him, Dygert
now had chance to see the ball. and he
came dashing in. But it was too late. We
had scored both men. That little thing put
the whole team to the bad, and We scored
six runs before the inning ended. What
Schreck didn't say to me was not in his
book of polite conversation l think it was
the funniest thing 1 ever saw during
game; but Connie Mack did not think it
very amusing. judging from the remarks he
handed to Schreck when he went to the
bench.

OUTLAWS REFUSE TO
GIVE UP PLAYERS

PHILADELPHIA, January 3.-President
Charles F. Carpenter of the Independent
Tri-state League has issued a call to the
club owners Of that organization to meet
at Cincinnati Monday to make formal
application to the national base ball COM
mission for protection under the national
agreement. At the conference President
P. T. Powers Will represent the National
Association Of Minor Leagues.
1t Is expected that the application of the
so-called OUTLAW league will be grant
ed without hesitation provided the club
owners are willing to accept class B pro-
lection. The owners of the Williamsport
team, known on the circuit the Million
aires, and the Lancaster owners are the
chief directors to class B because they
fear they will lose their best players.
These clubs will stick for protection only
in class A and with the privilege Of re-
tanning all players now belonging to their
clubs.
While the National and American
League magnates are anxious to eliminate
the only strong OUTLAW organization In
the country they are not willing to waive
claim to the players that have jumped
their clubs
Players that had been placed on the in
eligible list by the national commission for
jumping contracts and the reserve rule
Red Owens. Jimmy Sebrng. Tom Dele
hanty, Doc Reisling. Louis Wiltse. Her
mis- Mcfarland. Bert Conn. Chick Hart,
ley. John Doescher, Curtis Weigand, Fred
Crolins. and Ward Of Philadelphia.
Players who have been reinstated by
the commissioners. after jumping to the
outlaws, are Jack Hayden Of Boston, Phil
Lewis and George Bell of Brooklyn,
Johnny Lush and Catcher Donovan of
Philadelphia and Jim Wigs of Detroit.
Some Of these men had been virtually
blacklisted for life.
According to President Garry Hermann
of the national commission there are one
or two players, presumably Sebring and
Owens, from whom the ban may not be
lifted. Hermann in a letter to z. I.
Powers on tri-state protection says:
Dear Sir: 1t Is my candid opinion that,
IL the Tri-state League would appear be-
fore the national commission at it's meet
ing in Cincinnati on January Z and file
a formal application for its protection
and setting forth the conditions under
which 1t would want to be admitted, and
your association had a committee present
at the meeting, that we could get together
and agree upon proposition satisfactory
to all concerned within twentyfour hours.
GAS to the player question. l am of the
opinion that, in so far all major league
players are concerned, with a possible ex-
ception of or two. satisfactory ar
rangements could be entered into, whereby
the parties interested could get together.
An application should be filed and a COM
mittee appear before the commission and
1 again say that think that matters could
be satisfactorily arranged. OF course. the
parties must act In absolutely good faith"
