MAJOR LEAGUES MAY NOT
PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES
ana Schedules Decided Upon May
Prevent Popular Series to Deter
mine Winner Of Worlds Hon.
ors in Coming Season.

Will there be a worlds championship
tsmiliar with the inside machinery of
the game are prone to the belief that
unless the two major leagues change
their plans the public will be deprv-
cd of a test between the rival pennant
winners. The National league has
voted to play a schedule of lGS games
next year, the season opening on or
about April II and ending on or about
october Is. The American league on
the other hand. has decided upon 154
games. opening on or about April IA.
and closing on October 6 or :. If
these plans are adhered 10 the week
usually allotted To the worlds series.
directly following the close of the
American league season will be out
Of the question, so that If a worlds
series Is played at all it will have to
negin october 10 when the weather is
often too cold for ball playing,
The action OF the National league
in adopting the lGs game plan is
causing much speculation and gossip.
The plan was suggested by Ebbets Of
brooklyn and Murphy of Chicago and
was adopted unanimously. 1t was
elibly announced with no explanations
and the magnates when asked TO give
a reason said they were in a hurry to
catch trains. 1t Is believed to be a
hn ha aria
will not recede from it's present posi-
ton, and Ii is also a certainty that
the team winning the American
league pennant would decline to take
part in a worlds series after remain
ing idle six or seven days while the
National league champions were fin
ishlng their part of the schedule.
Idleness OF that kind, il is thought,
would prove injurious, so that the
American league champions would
enter a belated worlds series at a big
disadvantage. In fact IL is argued II
would be sheer folly for them to sub
nit to a test with a rival team keyed
up to concert pitch.
The faCt tnat the CuDS ana lne
Pirates have both won worlds cham
pionships for the National league in
the last two years is taken to mean
that the magnates in the old organi-
cation are not trying to dodge the is
sue fearing the result. But those who
have been digging under the surface
say that the National league men had
other motives. hitherto concealed. In
disclosing the facts therefore former
major league manager said:
Greed and jealousy have something
to do with the case Last fall when
the owners of the Pittsburgs and De-
troits were dividing big money accru-
ing from the worlds series other club
owners turned green with envy While
the Pirates and Tigers were playing
nine games the ball parks of Ia other
major league clubs remained closed
and the owners of them got nothing
But the latter had to pay salaries tc
their players up to October Is just
the same, which was hardship. RAJ
Their than remain idle again next year
during the same period in October
therefore, the magnates, with one ol
two exceptions, are willing to &c
away with the worlds series in ordeI
to gather i'm every dollar in sigh
just as long as II is possible"

hOCktY SALARIES RANK
NEAR TOP OF PRO SPORT
majority Of Baseball Players Draw
Less Money Than Puck chasers
when Length Of Respective
seasons is Considered.

New York. Dec 2S-The profess
slonal in every sport, whether II he
baseball hockey or what not. is al
ways listening for the same sound
ana he can detect il far off. He has
Trained his ears to catch the first
SOUND of the crumpling of the long
green. To the person who is content
10 gaze on the surface of things onlv
ana does not care to delve into the
inner workings it undoubtedly ap-
pears that baseball-the great ma :
tional pastime-is the most remu-
herative form OF athletic competition.
But this is not true.
There Is another branch OF attn
letics which is just beginning To claim
us own in the United States, that
pays even greater sums for its ex-
perts than does baseball. The sen
son Of hockey in Canada is of ncces-
slty not nearly so long as that of
baseball but while II lasts the men
demand and get amounts of mintage
that sound more like legendary dreams
Than truthful statements. And yet
they are a part of the history of the
game as 1t is played in our northern
neighbors' back yard.
Ten dollars per minute for one
hockey player would, if one did not
know the inside, have to be swal-
lowed with more than one pinch of
salt But this isn't the mere pro-
duction Of some ones fertile brain.
a glance in the annals of sport across
the line stamps it as authentic and
so down here we gasp at it and be-
gin to think that all this high strung
business over which jeff and John
son are making such a fuss is not the
result of one big jump, but has found
its stepping stones in other sports.
Art Ross who played with the CO.
bait team against Haileybury in n
hockey game last winter was paid
5000 for the contest, which lasted 60
minutes. two halves of 30 minutes
each. This would make his stipend
dhiOuHl W |lV per minute.
Furthermore. all the other mem
bers of the two teams received big
money for playing that game. The
contest was staged at Cobalt, the heart
of the silver mining district. and
those miners are willing to make a
big outlay in order to get two good
teams together and then they wager
heavily on the outcome of the
match.
Thousands OF dollars change hands
on the results of one of those games
since 1t is one of the few big amuse-
ments which the miners have to di-
vert their minds from constant sap
ping OF the ore from the earth.
The average salary paid the pro-
fessional hockey player i'm the domin-
ion for about nine weeks play is
probably $1,000. but there are sew
eral luminaries at puck chasing who
are compensated for their services IL
much larger checks. Some draw al
high as $4,000 for the season.
1t is generally conceded that the
average baseball players receives Z
stipend of about $4,000 a season fol
nearly seven months daily work
Hockey is too strenuous a game t
request a man to play it every night
and when all his time Is taken int
consideration it viii be found that tn
salaries paid hockey players touch
higher mark than those given tn
ball tossers.

BROOKLYN TO GET HIGGINS.
Manager Dahlen Dickerine for Reds
Second Baseman.

Second Baseman.
New York, Dec. 2S.-Said William
Dahlen, manager of the Brooklyn
club: Il think that ! have arranged
to get good second baseman for
Brooklyn next year"
He was not willing to name the
player because all the transactions
had not been completed. but ii is
probable that Miller Higgins, who
was with Cincinnati last year as
utility man, has been captured by
Brooklyn.
If Dahlen has obtained Higgins for
Brooklyn the chances are that he has
made n good deal. The little fellow
did not get much OF an opportunity
with Cincinnati last year, and there
is no immediate prospect that he will
play regularly with Cincinnati an
other season. in view of the fact that
Griffith intends to keep Egan on sec
ond base.

LYNCH WAS DISCOVERED
YEARS AGO BY SULLIVAN

Ted Sullivan of Milwaukee is visit
ing friends i'm Calumet throughout
the Christmas season. The baseball
veteran is not attracted TO this sec
ton by visions of future Cobbs to be
discovered for his old friend Charles
Comskey but is merely paying his
respects to the many friends he has
made at other times. Ted has soft
spot in his heart for the copper coun-
try, and although his business is press
ing i'm the winter as well as the sum-
mer he frequently finds time to visit
friends here.
1t was Sullivan who first discover
ed the possibilities which lay before
Thomas Lynch. recently elected presi-
dent of the National league. When
the former was manager Of the Wash
ington club, Lynch was an umpire.
and Sullivan was greatly impressed
with the dignity and fearlessness with
which he officiated in that capacity.
Since that time the two have been
fast friends and Sullivan's only regret
is the fact that John Il. Brush has the
honor of being the man who suggested
Lynch's name as a compromise candi-
date for the presidency of the league.

bout. While the Battler is undenia-
than any other distance, he should not
fear Welsh greatly over the halfway
distance. Welsh is a clever boxer, and
If he could stay the distance might
get the decision. However. he hasn't
the punch to put Nelson out. The
Battler on the other hand, can hand
Welsh some stiff ones that ought to
put his opponent away. The bout will
attract world wide attention.

This afternoon occurred the 5th
annual field and track meet of the
Grand Junction high school. While
the crowd that attended was consid-
erably smaller than last year, due
perhaps to a lack of advertising and
possibly to a lack of school spirit,
they were exceedingly enthusiastic,
and. as many of the events were
thrillingly close. the afternoon was
an exciting one.
The best races were the 220-yard
dash, won by McSherry, and the 440-
yard event. won by Caldwell The
l00-yard dash was also good.
No records were broken in the
sprints or jumps. but the hammer
throw. l20-yard hurdles and 440-
yard run were set at much higher
standard. The hammer throw was
raised from 90 feet to 110 feet; the
440-yard run was cut down from 50
10 55 As seconds, and the 120-yard
hurdles record was lowered from IS
plus to 16 3-5 seconds.
In the 220-yard hurdles both the
first and second place men fell, and
consequently the time was very slow.
The results:

ry second: Currier third. Time: 10
