WHERE HERMANN STANDS.
Cincinnatian Working for Re-Elec-
ton of Heydler as President.

CINCINNATI. November 3O.-That
President Hermann will not flop to the
side of John 7. Brush and Charles w.
Murphy in the election Of a president Of
the National League and that he is
counting upon Messrs. Robson. Dovey
and Ebbets voting for Heydler's election,
is the assertion made here last night by
President Hermann himself.
There is absolutely no truth in the
rumor that I'm to vote for Ward or any,
body else opposed to Heydler.' He said:
- also wish to derry that there is any
possibility of Cincinnati and Pittsburg
retiring from the National League IL
Ward is elected. Understand me, Ward
is Il fine sportsman, and neither MIR.
Dreyfuss nor myself will speak any other
way about him. We are looking, how
ever. to the votes of Presidents Robson,
Dewey and Ebbets, which. when added to
Barneys and mine will make enough to
elect Heydler."
1t is said here that Hermann has some
Information he will give to President Eb-
bets that will make him change his mind
about voting for Ward. Dreyfuss Is ex-
pected to bring President Dewey of Bos-
con into their camp. Then the two of them
together will get to work on President
Robson of the Cardinals, who declares
he is still open to conviction and
pledged to vote either way.

SOME ONE IS BUNCOED.
So Declares Ban Johnson Concerning
Sale of King to Phillies.

CINCINNATI. Ohio. November 3O.-If
the new owners Of the Philadelphia Ma
tional League club have sent their check
to the Chicago club of the same organiza-
ton to pay for the release of Catcher
Johnny King they might as well ask
President c. W. Murphy to return 1t to
them, as King, according to Ban John
son, will be kept out Of base ball Tor
four more years.
"It is silly to hear the talk from Phila-
delphda about King said the American
League president. Hes ineligible UNI

or some one is buncoed. ! made this
statement some time ago and have not
changed my opinion. There is no more
chance of King playing with Philadel-

base ball than there is of my becoming

he could not divulge the names of the
hackers of Fogel, but he said that it was
Philadelphia capital which had taken the
new presidents notes, and. so far as he
knew. Charles Webb Murphy, the Chicago
magnate. had absolutely nothing to do
with the club.

he has already stated, gained the consent

is valuable asset. Philadelphia is pro-
crossing. and some day that plot OF
ground is going to be worth nice sum
of money. Why. really it was hardly
necessary for Fogel to look for man to
lend him the money. With valuable
asset like that in his possession almost
any man who wanted to speculate bit
would take a chance.

After Fred Lake.

That the newcomers are leaving no
stone unturned and are anxious not to
depend too much on King is shown by
the fact that "A representative of the club
will go to Boston in a few days for a
conference with Lake, the recently de-
posed manager of the Red SoX.
Last season Lake showed that he had
the making of winning manager, and
that is what the new Philadelphia club
owners want.
II present negotiations carry well
Pitcher Spade of Cincinnati and one
other of the Reds will wear a PhiladeI-
phia uniform next season. This was as
certained unofficially but from a most
reliable source, well as the certainty
that there will be a general chOpping off
of heads among the Phillies' present staff.
All the stars. Including the much-sought
Magee, will be retained and the rest will
be traded.
Two valuable options-one on the park
at Broad and Huntingdon streets and the
other on Catcher Johnny kling-enabled
Horace S. Fogel recently elected presi-
dent of the Philadelphia National League
Base Ball Club, to obtain the money to
purchase the club That fact came to
light yesterday when John II. Sinberg, a
real estate operator. admitted that it
was largely through his efforts that
Fogel had been able to get the club.

SOCCER STARTS TODAY.
Georgetown Coach Will Begin La
bors at HILTON School.

The first real attempt to inaugurate the
English game of soccer foot ball as the
major sport of an eastern university will
be made today, when Robert B. Williams
an old player of the Caledonians will
take up his labors at Georgetown Univer-
sity, where it is hoped the new game will
take the place of the old rugby, which
has been abolished. AS great deal de-
Ponds on the introduction of soccer, espe-
cially among the southern colleges, where
the old game is much in disfavor, the re-
suit of the attempts at the local school
will be closely watched.
It is the intention of Coach Williams to
teach the rules of the game to the men
and then to form teams among the
classes which teams will compete for a
banner and dinner during January.
After this, If 1t is found practicable, a
varsity will be formed to play a few
games with teams in this city and Balti-
more. Should these contests prove sue
cessful. it is pretty safe to say that soccer
will take the place of rugby in a number
in the south Atlantic states.
AS is natural, the Georgetown students
are little backward in encouraging the
new sport until after the intercollegiate
association rules committee takes action
on the manner of playing the old game.
1t is being hoped that the rules will be
SO altered that the faculty will again give
its sanction to reinstating the rugby
game. and it can hardly he expected that
in the meantime soccer will be very en-
Enthusiastically received. However, as it is
we'll known that the chances are even for
soccer being taken up in a number of
other schools. many of the students have
expressed the intention of learning the
game, and hence Coach Williams should
not be handicapped by lack of ma
terial.
The varsity field, whereon the practice
of soccer will take place, has been cleared
of the bieachers and fences which sur
round the old gridiron, and now presents
a very different appearance from what it
did during the regular pigskin campaign.
The moving of the stands was done at the
instigation Of Manager Harry Brown of
the base ball team, who is anxious that
everything be ready for diamond prac-
tice early in the spring.

GOLFERS MAKE PLANS.
Professionals to Challenge Leading
British Experts.

NEW YORK, November W.-AS a result
of the meeting of the Eastern Professional
Golfers Association in this city yester-
day more international contests are in
sight In fact. it is not unlikely that the
much mooted question with regard to the
relative ability of the pros" in America
and Great Britain may be settled. The
idea OF a match first suggested itself a
short time ago, when it was learned that
a number of the leading professionals
were going abroad for the winter, and at
the league meeting yesterday this sub
ject was practically the only one dis
cussed
The outcome was that the secretary of
the Eastern Professional Golfers Associa-
tion was instructed to challenge the Brit
ish Professional Golfers Association to a
match during the winter. Alec Smith.
champion of the eastern body in this
country, was elected captain, and the ar
rangement of further details will be left
to him. Well known resident pros" who
intend TO sail shortly include Alec Smith
OF Wykagyl. Fl. H. Barker of Garden
City, Isaac Mackle of Fox Hills. James
Maiden of Nassau. Gilbert Nichols of
Wilmington, Dave Hunter of Essex coun-
ty and Peter Robertson of Pittsburg.
In discussing the question after the
meeting Barker suggested that it would
DE a SOOQ pan TO play d series Oh
matches with the different divisions. The
professional body on the other side is
divided into several minor associations.
such as the Scottish, Welsh, Northern,
Southern and Irish. AS practically all
the players who would be. selected from
this side would De members of the eastern
organization, a more equal contest could
doubtless be brought about by playing
matches with the different foreign di-
visions.
Most of the golfers who intend sailing
will have left these shores early in Janu-
airy, and it is generally conceded that the
visiting clan would have little difficulty
in being accommodated. Every winter the
cream of the professionals of Great Brit
ain cross over to the continent to take
part in the open championship OF the
south of France, and should the Ameri-
can representatives decide to go there as
we'll some stirring struggles would be
certain to follow.
Before Tom Vardon, who spent the
summer and fall in this country, sailed
for home he declared that the leading
professionals over here could undoubtedly
hold their own with the best abroad On
another occasion. Immediately after the
brilliant performance of Alec Smith i'm

don said with emphasis that the golf

DREYFUss NOT TO QUIT.
Will Not Leave National League if
Heydler Is Defeated.

PITTSBURG, Pa, November 30
President Barney Dreyfuss Of the Pitts
burg base ball club last night denied
that he had any intention Of leaving
the National League owing to the
change in ownership Of the Philadel-
phia club. and made the inference plain
that Dreyfuss. Hermann & Co. had
something up their sleeves that would
make such move unnecessary.
Those who know the local magnate
best are convinced that he would never
be party to such a movement and
that he will not leave the National
League until he is ready to quit the
base ball business forever.
rs it true that you are planning to
jump the National League If Heydler is
not reelected to the presidency"
Dreyfuss was asked.
Not yet" he replied, with broad
smile.
IF war should come, and the Pitts
burg. Cincinnati and Boston clubs take
their best players over to the Ameri-
can League. you will at least permit

w. Murphy, would you not?'
Il believe you could be induced to
make such a concession" answered the
Pirate owner. And the fact that Mr..
Murphy was allowed to remain with
the National League would amply rec
ompense that organization for any
other losses that might be sustained.
They have had me in the Ameri-
can League number of times contin-
ued the local magnate but we are
still in the National and may continue

MURPHY WILL NOT DENY.
Will Not Enlighten Chicagoans on
PHILADELPHIA Club Deal.

CHICAGO. November 3O-Charles w.
Murphy, president of the Chicago Nation
al League base ball club, on his return
from the east last night refused to deny
that he is now part owner of the Phila-
delphia club Of the National League, and
also refused to say anything in connection
with the league presidential campaign.
He did say however. that he had not
made trade of Heine Zimmerman for
Otto Knabe and pitcher. as had been
reported from Philadelphia, and that no
deal had been made whereby Catcher
John King is to go to the Philadelphia
club.
Regarding the reported statement of
President Horace Fogel of the Philadel-
phia club that he had sent a check for
$4,000 to Murphy for the purchase of
King Mr.. Murphy declared he had re-
ceived no such check.

Mistake About King.

In some quarters, when it became
known that the club was to change hands
and that Charles w. Murphy of Chicago
was helping the move along, it was
stated that King had positively been
signed.
That is absurd, said Mr.. Fogel yes
terday. I'VE could not approach a man
that belongs to another club nor would
IL do us much good to get man who
is in bad with the national commission.
If he Is reinstated, then we will dicker
with the Chicago club, and l have no
doubt will he able to make an offer
to Killing that will induce him to change
his mind about giving up base ball"
From other sources. however it is
known that plans have already been made
to fight the national commissions right
to have barred King for two years: also
il is known that action on this matter
will be the clubs first consideration at
next months meeting in New York. Mr..
Murphy. in the interests of the Philadel-
phia club and acting president of the
Chicago club, with which King is under
contract, will make an appeal to the ma
tional commission when it convenes. If
Killing comes to Philadelphia he will not
only catch. but will manage the team.
