NO SPIT BALL ARTISTS.
Cleveland Club Dispenses With Use
of Famous Delivery,

Cleveland will probably be the
only American league club that will
not have a spit" ball artist among
it's pitching staff and McGuire's
corps of fingers is not a small one
at that.
A few years ago when the club
trained at Macon, there were more
spitters than anything else among
the Cleveland pitchers. baltimore
was southpaw who was married
to vapor slants, while Chech swore
by his "dry splitter" Berger thought
the wet goods the best he had TO
deliver. Rhoades and Hess also dali
lied with 1t more than a little, while
Liebhardt would no more have
thought of pitching without using
the splitter" than he would have of
jumping the club to sign with the
Twilight leaguers.
Joss and Falkenberg are two pitch
ers who simply will not use the ball
made famous by Jack Chesbro and
Ed Walsh, so If any of the Cleveland
twirlers try 1t this year it will have
to be some of the recruits. Manager
Mcclure says he was careful, when
scouting to pass up pitchers who had
to wet the ball i'm order to puzzle the
batters.

JOHNSON ADVOCATES NEW
RULE TO GOVERN WAIVERS

Chicago, Feb. 2S.-Steps will be TAX

whereby any. club of major caliber will
be required to secure waivers from
every club of the National and Amer

seasons with the upper crust.
President b. b. Johnson of the AM
erican league recently approved the
idea as preached by owner Comlskey
following the latter's failure to secure

ing to II. c. Suttle father-in-law of
the noted utility artist, Del never will
don the garb OF a Colonel.
Suttle has offered to buy the st.
Paul franchise in the American asso-
in order to make Del magnate in the
A. A. Later Suttle expressed a will
lingness to pay $4,000 for Ders re-
lease from Louisville that he might
become an outfielder for the White
Sox. Suite and Manager Chance had
lively discussion over the disposition
of Howard, the affair ending when
Suttle bet Chance 800 at even money
that Pittsburg copied another PEN
nant this season.
II the rule proposed by President
Comiskey goes through many players
who have arrived at the stage when
their services are no longer wanted by
one club may find refuge with another
team in major league company instead
of going the route to the minors. Had
such a rule been i'm operation when
President Murphy asked for waivers

not anticipated that Tails record will

At Eau Claire on Washington s

however, and the jumps averaged be-

NORTHWESTERN ALUMNI TO
INVESTIGATE ATHLETICS

Chicago, Feb. 2s.-Athletlcs are due
Tor a boost at the Northwestern Uni
versity. Alumni of the school are
starting an investigation for the pur-
pose Of ascertaining the reason why
the purple streamers of the Evanston
athletes have trailed in the dust so
persistently of late. Sports about the
Methodist institution will be given a
thorough overhaullng, and nothing will
satisfy the loyal grads" OF that insti-
tuition but an entire reversal of form
ana the elevation of athletics to a par
with any school in the West.
The inferiorlty OF Northwestern in
athletic channels dawned upon the
alumni of the school I'm the weekly
dinner of that body which was held in
Chicago recently, and after a thorough
discussion of the status of affairs a
committee of three was appointed to
take action in the matter of revising
the present system. The investigating
body comprises Harry Weese, Charles
Il. Stahl and Harry Smoot.
The committee has already prepared
petition to the faculty asking for "A
conference between a delegation from
the alumni and the athletic committee
of the faculty of the university, if SUCK
body exists. The alumni are not at
all sure that there is such a be dy, and
therein lies another of their grievances
as they, of all the schools in the
west, are alone in not having n rep
rescntative on the athletic board OF
the institution. They win ask for a
place upon this committee, and 81
they can gain the o-op grafton Of the
faculty they promise an athletic up
heaval at the university as will make
for championship teams.

Herget has been actively canvassing
for an arena suitable to holl the great
crowd that will wish to see this fight,

could also be used for conventions.
Despite the fact that the police
commissioner and Jack Gleason nave

sites. The Nevada promoter has let
II be known that Gleason, Berger and
himself will inspect a site at Santa

seventy miles from here, but is rea-
