INDEPENDENT BODY

NEW YORK, September 2S.-Owners of
all the leading billiard rooms in this city
are to organize for the purpose of holding
tournaments in the interest of the sport
1t is an independent movement, separated
entirely from the manufacturer. Manu-
facturers. however, will be allowed to con-
tribute toward the payment for prizes and
the expense of the halls in which tourna-
ments will be held, but they will not man.
age affairs as they have done for years
past.
The leaders in this movement include
George Storms and Maurice Daily, and
they will plan a tournament that is ex-
pected to be held in the Madison Square
horse show. This competition is to be for
the 1872 balkline championship. Mr.. Daily
will no doubt be chosen chairman of the
new association.
This body will be formally organized at
a meeting to be held next Friday night at
o'clock in the Waldorf-Astoria It will
probably be called the National Billiard
Room keepers Association
Among those besides Messrs. DAILY and
Slosson interested in the new movement
are Tim Flynn, Jack Doyle, John ].
McGraw. Joe" Thum, Messrs. Maurice
and John, Samuel GERM, A. H. Sievers

New York room keepers, those from all
the large cities in the country will event.

SAY HUGHEY CANNOT 60.
New York Writers Claim He Is Held
on Players Reserve Clause.

Several New York writer's have stated
that Hughey Jennings will not be man
ager Of the Phllies next year nor of any
other club in organized base ball, except
the Tigers.
An official Of the Detroit club is quoted
as saying: 1T is not generally known
that Jennings was bought from Balti-
more for $1,000 and signed under the
usual players contract. Therefore he
cannot quit Detroit, even If he wanted to,
without violating his contract and SUBJ
jecting himself to the blacklist
Ned Hanlon recently said that Jennings
was not bought from the Baltimore club
for 81 600. or for any price.
"Hughey Jennings was drafted" said
Mr.. Hanlon: land in order that Detroit
might be sure of him he was drafted by
three clubs. They were st. Louis, De-
troit, and the third, think, was Cleve-
land. When we protested that they
should thus seize the manager of the
Baltimore club they claimed that he was
playing manager and subject to draft
Jennings was absolutely not sold for
$1,000, or for any other price. He was
too valuable for the Baltimore club to
have let go for such a small sum. We
would not nave sold him Tor $4,000. He
was too great a drawing card, too good
player and too brainy a manager
Whether he is signed up under the usual
players contract or not do not know"
Detroit would not let Jennings 60 with
out making a game fight for him. The
ex-Oriole manager has accomplished more
for Detroit than q manager ever accom-
plished before. The average attendance
at the games was 2.O0O and jennings
pulled this up to 5000 persons daily
Spirited he has a knowledge Of base
ball, inside base ball, that few managers
can boast Of. He knows how to handle
his men and get the best from them,
make them always work and work will
ingly. With his famous "Ee-yah" he has
made the Detroit team one of the best
advertisements for the Michigan metrop-
oils that 1t ever had. just as he helped to
make the Baltimore pennant-winning
team one of that citys greatest adver-

GETS WESTERN STAR.
Smith, From University Of Wash
ington, Reports at Georgetown.

Among the five new men that reported
to Coach Newman on Georgetown Field
yesterday there was one that gives prom
Use Of bolstering up the line providing he
proves to be as good as he looks. This
man is Smith. who played last fall on the
crack University of Washington eleven,
which was one of the foremost on the Pa
ciflc coast. He is of good size. tipping
the scales in the neighborhood of ITO
pounds, and very quick on his feet. AS
his position is tackle he will come in
handy to fill the position made vacant by
the graduation of Munhall, a veteran OF
three years. thus leaving Wymard and
Bill Fitzgerald to fight it out for the
other tackle job.
Wymard, by the way, will probably do
the punting, as he is already booting the
ball for fOrty-f1ve yards. AS most OF his
kicks are spirals of a most ticklish kind
for the man running back to catch, he
will prove valuable to the eleven In this
department more than in any other. Wal
dron is also endeavoring to get In on the
puntfng and his work Is showing much
improvement every day. His temperance
in a suit yesterday caused much JOY In
the Hilltop camp, as it was not believed
he would be able to play on account OF
parental objection. Indications now, how
ever, point to the supposition that these
have been overcome and it will be very
surprising II the DIG Tau is not III Tue IiIle-
up Saturday.
This afternoon practice scrimmage
will be played against the props which
should show up both aggregations to ad-
vantage. In addition to this contest 1t is
probable that another practice battle will
come off before the Gallaudet game. Ne
gotia.ons are now going on with the
Maryland Aggies, and as their coach.
Bunny Larkin, is in favor of it, the lads
from College Park will most likely line
up against the locals Thursday afternoon.
Yesterday morning work was begun on
moving the bleachers from their usual
position to one along the side lines of the
gridiron. 1t is thought that the work
on these will be completed by tomorrow
noon. and as the field has already been
marked out there is no doubt but that
everything will be in tiptop shape for
the opening of the season on Saturday.
Manager Murray is now hard at work ar
ranging for the sale Of season tickets,
which will start tomorrow. AS this will
practically complete the preliminary labor,
he will then be in a position to start the
campaign with nothing in the way to
hinder the carrying out Of his wel-laid
plans.

BARROW FOR PRESIDENT.
Fight Likely for
Leadership of Eastern League.

TORONTO, Ontario. September 2S.-A
three-cornered contest for the presidency
of the Eastern League is nearly assured.
Ed Barrow. the ex-major and minor
league manager and magnate. who Is at
present in the hotel business here, an
nounced last night that he would surely
be a candidate for Pat Powers job if
Howard Griff1ths persisted in running for
the office. Mr.. Barrow has several times
before been approached with the offer of
enough votes to guarantee his election,
but has heretofore declined to enter the
field against his friend Powers. Now.
however. that there is a possibility OF
Powers being defeated he has decided to
run. and has been promised the votes Of
three clubs.
Mr.. Barrow is not without official eX-
perience. having been president Of the
old Atlantic League for three years. AS
q manager Mr.. Barrow has won several
pennants, besides having brought out
Hans Wagner and other base ball stars.

CHICAGO DEFEATS
NATIONALS EASILY
Forman Throws Away Game
at Start With Bad
Pitching.

The White Sox had an easy time DE-
featins the Nationals yesterday by the
score Of to l. The weather was raw
and kept the attendance down to small
numbers.
Young Forman. who did SO we'll against
st. Louis, started the game for the locals.
but he was 50 wild and Ineffective that he
practically lost the contest before the
Nationals could get their first turn at
the bat. After serving two innings Man
ager Cantillon told Fornran to take his
sweater and trot to the clubhouse. while
he sent out the veteran Reisling to finish
off the bad Job Doc performed like
a star after he got started. but as it was
a hopeless struggle. he doubtless took
boss.
Scott Effective.
Big Ed Scott, the Wichita wonder, was
on the rubber for the White SoX and
held the locals down to six hits. two OF
them coming together in fess third inning.
when the Nationals only .un was scored.
The small attendance and the locals bad
start took all the ginger out of the play
ers and 1t was a sleepy affair, although
Parent and Mcbride frequently woke up
the OnlOOkeTS WIFI pTliHddil StoPo vi
throws
In the hrst inning, two bases on balls,
a sacrifice. an error by Norman and two
singles pushed three runs over the rub
Der for the White Sox.
In the second round Forman started off
with passing Scott. but Messenger forced
him at second. Altizer was then hit on
the arm, and after he and Messenger had
pulled off a double steal both scored on
Coles timely single into center.
Reisling Did Well.
Reisling then took up the burden and
had a hard time checking up the visitors.
After Parent had flied to Mcbride Yohe
made q mess of Tannehilrs roller and
Payne and Scott singled in rotation, fill
ing the bases. Messenger then flied out
to Milan and Tannehill scored on the sac
rdfice. Altizer singled to right and Payne
scored. Scott tried to take third on the
hit, but Brownies nice throw to Yohe
nipped him at the bag.
Reisling then got started and the runs
ceased for two innings. the Sox scoring
their final run In the sixth round on AL
Tiers single and Dougherty's slashing
double to the right field fence.
Washington's only run bobbed up in
the third inning. Reisling got q base on
balls and went to second while Purtell
was throwing out Browne. Milan singled
to center and Reisling pulled up at third.
Yohe famed, but Gessler singled to left
and Reisling came home.
Following is the official score of the
game:

The most famous of Courtney's shake

as if il had occurred yesterday
The crew Courtney had that year was

In the Donn- Mueller match Mueller was
clearly outplayed in the first set, losing

the form shown in this set, and in the
next two the play was fast. He became

drives that he had failed to handle be-

finally lost the last two sets and the
match.
Lerch and Fischer were about evenly
matched in their sets, both of which ran
into extra games. Lerch's smashing at
the net was very effective and won him
many points. His service appeared hard
for his opponent to handle. and this. to-

COMMENT ON THE GAME.

Young Mr.. Forman doubtless realized
before the game was three minutes under
way that there is something In having
first-class receiver behind the bat to
pitch to. Yesterday a week Gabby Street
was coaching Forman and the kid
looked exceptionally good. Yesterday
Slattery was on the receiving end and he
had all he could do to attend to his own
business, with the result that Forman
worked like a ship without rudder. He
failed to hold up the runners. bases were
stolen almost at WILL and this doubtless
unsettled him from the start. Forman
has the goods and with a first-class
coacher behind the bat will be very ef
fective. Both he and Walker should be
given q thorough trying out in the spring
before allowed to drift back to the minors
Freddy Parent has doubtless decided to
continue in the game next year. although
he thought Of quitting when things were
breaking bad for him during the middle
Of the season. For the past month Parent
has been going exceptionally we'll, and re-
ports from the press boys with the Sox in
dictate that Freddy will be shifted to sec
ond when Blackburn goes to short. Parent
should shine at the second sack. but he
will have to bat very hard to chase Jakey
Ate away from that job.
Tomorrow the Clevelands open up a
three-day stay in this city with a dou-
ble-header. and then the Washington sea-
son will be over for 1909. Should the
championship be decided before Saturday
comes around, 1t is more than likely that
Managers Mack and Cantillon will ar
range a double header for Saturday. so as
to close out the season on that day. In
stead of waiting for Monday. A double
header would draw out "a nice crowd,
while nothing would be done Monday with
the pennant race settled.
A reporter of The Star is responsible for
the latest story about Hugh Jennings
leaving the Tigers for the Phillies and
II was brought about thusly. Jennings

Double-Header Tomorrow.

With the floral parade looming up
for Thursday afternoon, President
Noyes got busy last evening and
telegraphed the different club
owners of the American League
for permission to pull forward
Thursdays game in this city sched-
,iled between Washington and
Cleveland. Favorable replies were
received this morning and as a re-
suit the Washingtons and Cleve-
lands will play a double-header to-
morrow. the first game starting at
2 o'clock. The parade would have
been big counter attra ction. but in
this way the base ball fans" will
be able to see all the games and
also the procession.
Jerry Downs, the Minneapolis
second baseman, and Bill Rapp. the
well known Washington catcher
from the same club, are expected
in tonight, and if they report in
time will play in tomorrow's dou-
ble-header against Cleveland.
Manager Cantillon also has a new
outfielder under cover whom he
wants to try out, and who may be
pushed into tomorrow's games,
making the sport unusually at
tractive to the base ball enthu-
siasts.
