as a reward for its adding its athletic
prestige 10 the ranks OF the Big Nine
once more.
The University OF Chicago board ot
control conceived the idea immediate
ly that To loosen up the conference
code in order TO entice Michigan back
into the fold would be great sign
of weakness on the part OF the other
members OF the Big Nine and would
detract greatly from the dignity of
the body.
Immediately the Midway professors
became missionaries for the perman-
ency OF the athletic reforms. They
tude, and Illinois In turn brought Wis
consin into the plot. Purdue was the
fourth member TO Join.
Chicago advanced the idea tASs
Michigan must return TO the confer
ence under thep resent era of re-
stricted athletics or not return at all.
To this end the Maroon representa-
tive and his allies went to the recent
meeting and opposed the lengthening
OF the football season and any other
ioosening up OF the reforms. AS
four schools were opposed 10 the
measure at the meeting Jan. 4, II
would seem that Il would be diff
cult mater to pass the measure.
Walter Fishleigh, the former Maize
and Blue athlete. now a member OF
the engineering faculty OF the Ann
Arbor institution, claims that the
Northwestern director made the fol
lowing statement TO him at that time:
Practically every one or the
schools ia in favor OF seven games
and possibly some OF the other MIDI
Acations- However when -fou=d
that Michigan was making these con
cessions the condition OF her return
ing TO the conference. We all felt thai
by granting any OF them we would
be placing the entire Big Nine In ar
impossible and compromising attitude
Accordingly several OF the represen
tatives were told to vote against mo-
only the training table and othel
amendments TO the reform legislation
! but even against the seyen-gams
change, which every one favors."
the real essence OF the plan fieE II
the fact that. as Michigan must an
nounce her intention OF returning OF
remaining out by Feb. /. the Wolver
inc board must take a plunge into the
dark. None OF the other colleges viii
really show their hands until aftel
that date Though Il is not yet known
how the dictatorial four will vote
when the test comes. Michigan mus
take the chance OF coming In on
five-game basis and trust to luck fol

FALKENBERG HAS
SIGNED CON TRACT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.--From
present indications the Washington
club will have very little trouble get
ting Its players names TO contracts
for the coming season.
Manager Cantillon sent out the con.
tracts TO all the boys on the first day
OF the year and already the documents
have been signed by Capt. Bob Gan
ley and Pitcher Falkenberg.
II like TO work with you, joe" said
Falkenberg. after he had signed the
contract, and although you prodded
me a great deal last season I have
come to the conclusion that II does
a man good TO be stirred up. I had
been taking matters easy almost since
my first start In professional baseball,
but II is no joke with you, Joe, and To
tell the truth, am glad OF It."
Cantillon says In his letter that
"Falk's" remarks made him smile, as
the tall boy was certainly FESTIVE un-
der my direction last season, but to-
ward the end he was pitching great
ball. and ! am glad he has signed I'D
without further trouble. With Falken-
berg trying next season I can count
on three frst-class twirlers from the
start, and I may have Ave"
Manager Cantillon didn't say who
the other two twirlers were, but II Is
taken for granted that he means Wal

INNOVATION IN
SPALOING POLICY

Something new In the way ola base
ball publication has just been issued
in the Spalding Athletic Library
Spalding's Official Baseball
Record" edited by Henry Chadwick,
the Father OF Baseball"
AS its name indicates. the
book is ESSENTIALLY statistical Many
of the records contained therein
will appeal to the old-time fans
whose memories go back TO the
organization OF the National league in
1876 or the old first Professional asso-
citation In 1871.
A timely innovation Is the publica<
ton OF the complete Official averages
Of the major and minor leagues, which
formerly did not appear until the reg
ular edition OF the Spal ling Guide.
Another chapter OF baseball history
is entitled 1.-The Year in Baseball
and contains all the happenings dur
ing 1907 in the realm OF the national
game. commencing with January and
ending In December.
Ball Record does not supersede the
Baseball Guide. The latter publica-
ton will be issued as usual in the
spring with the new rules, schedules
and a lot OF new and Interesting mat
ter on the game.

OUTLAWS WILL
HOLD UP PAY

The new Union league, an outlaw
organization just formed. starts a
brand-new scheme to keep It's players
from jumping their contracts. Twenty
fiye per cent OF each players salary
is withheld by the club each pay
day.
In the contracts there is clause
that provides for this. Tho money is
TO be deposited in bank and deliv-
cred to the player at the close of the
season providing he has not played
with any other club excepting the one
employing him.
The scheme Is the only one the
Union league has that acts as a safe
guard against players jumping their
contracts.
The contracts are also different
from those OF national agreement
clubs In that the reserve clause liz
eliminated.
