TRAINING TABLE

Stage, of Chicago, Says He Has
Changed His Ideas on That Point
Since Rule Was Adopted.

CHICAGO. Dec S.-ChicaRo will vote
against Michigan's return TO the Big
Nine" football conference should the
Wolverines petition for re-admission
with their present demands. This is
the announcement Of Coach \. A.
Stagg, who has abandoned his policy
Of silence and silenced the boom for
a Chicago. Michigan game.
Should Michigan petition TO come
back now and obey all the conference
rules. Chicago would vote in favor of
it,. Stage declared Should the VOL
verines petition to return and bring
Il training table with them, Chicago
would say no.
II supported the efforts to form a
Big Four of Chicago. Michigan. Min
nesota and Wisconsin several years
ago, but conditions now are far differ
ent. Then Michigan was still in the
conference and the plan was a legiti-
mate attempt to obtain better condi-
tons among members of the confer
ence. With Michigan out. II certainly
would he improper to consider such a
proposition.

Cantillon forcing the issue and So

10 see how the league can gloss the
affair over without loss of self
respect and prestige.
New York writer's come tn Stallings'
defense with the statement that there
exists no rule on the statute books,
prohibiting signal-stealing. This is
undoubtedly true. Neither is there any
rule against throwing ball games

Eddinger is beyond question out OF

If Cantillon can succeed in getting

Is Game Joe Is Cunning for With

BY PAUL n. BRUSkE.

Though no longer the holder of a
position I'm the American league and
supposedly a dead letter in its politics.
Joe Cantillon, for three seasons boss
of the luckless Washington club. Is
likely TO prove figure of prominence
fully as great as Heydler. Murphy or
Fogel. at the coming convention OF
baseball magnates at New York
Joe finds himself so placed that he
can have a little fun breaking head

any interests OF his own According
~ he proposes merely to add a bit TO
the gaiety of nations.
The ex-boss of the Senators lost his
job as the result of the javelins of
several Of his rival managers. Notably
WAS one George Stallings Of New York
mixed up in the throwing.
Stallings told Ban Johnson that Can
tiilon was disioyal.
Cantillon calls attention to some or
Stallings' past acts in this line and
points out the exquisite humor OF a
man with the record Of the New YORK
executive, appearing as a connoisseur
OF loyalty. He intends to pan Mr..
Stallings thoroughly while indicating
