THANKLESS MAGNATES.
Unique Situation in Politics of the
National Game.

1t is doubtful il there is a parallel in
base ball history to the present situation
in the National League. One coterie Of
club owners is endeavoring to prevent the
reelection of a president who became
president against his will at the sugges-
ton of some of the men now opposed to
him and against the judgment of some of
the men who now openly are working
for his reelection. The general public.
which dips only lightly into base ball
politics, may not recall that John Heyller
served the National League for num-
Der of years as secretary, and was
pointed to by its members with pride as
a sort of worlds champion A little
less than a year ago. when the late Harry
C. Pulliam was OH the verge of collapse
sorry, Secretary Heydler was asked to
assume the duties of president in adj
dition to his own, pending his principal 8
recovery. Actuated wholly by the desire
to retain for his longtime friend. Harry
Puliam, position which otherwise
would nave been lost to him through
sickness, John Heydler overcame his
aversion to the task and filled both posi-
tons until the championship season was
well along. Soon after Harry Pulliam re-
turned to take up the work of the exec
utive John Heydler went on short vaca-
ton to rest. and during that time the
late president ended his own life tragic
ally. Once more the National League
faced predicament. 1t was necessary
either to select a new man for the posi-
ton on short notice or to elect John
Heydler for the unexpired term. The
latter alternative was chosen, and again
Secretary He dler reluctantly accepted a
task under which he has seen one man
health break down completely, s,lbor-
dinating his own inciinations to relieve
his employers from an embarrassing
situation for which he was in no wise
responsible. At that time he fully expect
ed to return next year to the vacant
secretaryship. Before he had returned to
his desk from his best friends funeral
one of the club owners, who opposed his
election, gave voice to the opinion that
John Heydler was mot big enough for
the position. Today that club owner is
one of his most loyal supporters. That
change of front and. in fact, the whole
decidedly unique situation are in great
measure due to an attempt to defeat
John Heydier's possible reelection to an
office which he didn't want without first
ascertaining IL he desired reelection.

BANE ON BOXING.
Moving Picture Scheme Hurts Fight
Game More Than Anything Else.

NEW YORK, December n.-victor
Breyer, the French boxing promoter, who
is here with some Partisan cyclers SAYS
that in his opinion the moving picture
scheme has hurt boxing more than any
thing else in the last ten years.
why. nowadays. when men are in on
the picture deals. they don't try to win
before the tenth round for fear that the
public will not get run in the moving

sees that he is winning, as Johnson did
in his fight with ketchell. he will lust
stall along until the right time and then

as 1t is possible. They don't like that

it was questionable to them if he would
