LEADS BATTLE AGAINST
PROMOTER D. A. FLETCHER

The Cincinnati Tribune, which is
leading the battle against Promoter ID.
A. Fletcher. who would have a post
season series and a third major league,
asks these few little questions, the
answers to which are obvious:
Who is Fletcher?
What has he done for baseball?
baseball?
What is his financial rating In Day
ton, Detroit, and other cities where he
has operated?
Upon what does he base his ability
to raise 100000 to finance a new
major league?
Did he pay in cash for the one
share of stock he owns in the United
States Amusement Co., or was IL given
him?
Why did he vote with the other d.
rectors of the United states Amuse-
ment Co.,to call off the all-star series
and then advise the players to cash
the checks sent them?
Why does he compel players desired
for the new league to agree to forfeit
$4,000 if they fail to keep their agree.
ment with him, when he himself does
not pledge one cent until after Feb
10?
What assurance have players tina
the agreements which they are nov
asked to sign will be backed by thu
SO, 900 capital which Fletcher prom
Uses to raise on or before Feb. TO- 1911
What assurance can Fletcher Civ
the prospective hackers of the new
league that the players who ma,
sign with them now will not repea
their act of jumping agreements AM
go back to organized baseball leavin
the hackers to hold the bag?

which they are compelled to sign sub
ject them to a ten-days' notice of re
lease, a limit of 10 days salary
case they are injured in the servic

And, once again, who is Fletche

YOUNGER LEAGUE
is MONEY MAKER
HIeHLANDERs, RED sox AND
ATHLETICS HAVE BEST SEA-
SON IN HISTORY OF
THOSE CLUBS.

The history Of another American
league season is written, and as soon
as the appendix, containing the post
season results is completed, the vol
ume will be put on the shelf with
those of other years.
This, the tenth campaign Of the
younger major league, was not as
closely contested as many others have
been, but IL was remarkable in that
the champion Athletics set a new
mark for games won. Mack's men had
1872 victories to their credit, as against
the previous record of IS made by the
Detroit team in 1909.
This is the third time that the AM
erican league banner has been flown
i'm philadelphia, the other years they
ranked first being 1902 and 1905. There
were no real contenders for premier
honors this year, as the Quakers won
the majority Of every total series they
played. To be sure, New York Bos-
ton and Detroit were possibilities,
but the pitching staff on each of these
clubs was either weak or else went
wrong some time during the season,
and therefore the teams lost valuable
ground which they could never make
up.
Chases frequent Illness also handi
capped the Yankees by breaking up
their regular infield combination; but
| il is probable that he and Jim Vaughn
will be in better shape next year and
the fans are predicting that the club,
with the knowledge OF inside ball
which Stallings taught them, will
bring the bunting home i'm 1911.
I Boston appearantly made a disas-
trous move when il allowed Comiskey
to hypnotic il into trading Harry
Lord and Andy Mcconnell for Frank
Smith and Bill Purtel.
The Tigers. champions of 1907. 1908
and 1909. had a disorganized pitching
staff and could finish no better than
third This advanced position is any
thing but satisfactory to Jennings and
he has made strenuous efforts 10
strengthen the team for next season.
Cleveland, Chicago. Washington and
St Louis finished in the order named.
The White Sox and the Nationals were
strengthened during the season and
may do better next year. Cleveland
must make some changes before be-
coming a championship contender, and
St Louis viii have TO completely re-
organize in order TO climb out Of the
cellar position it now defends against
all corners.
All the clubs finished on the right
side Of their ledgers. as far as finances
are concerned. The Highlanders, Red
Sox and Athletics did a larger busin-
ess than ever before and even the
Browns split more than even. Alto
gether il was a very successful year.

JOHNSON TO TRY THE LAW.
Thinks Automobile Association Hat
No Right to Cancel License.

New York, oct. 14-"Jack" Johnson
says he is going to have the law or
the contest board of the American Au-
tomobile association for canceling his
license as an automobile driver. He
recently sent this reply to the board
81 return herewith the one dollar
which you returned to me, same be-
ing in payment of license fee. l con-
formed to all conditions named on the

ror when you state that l obtained the

alton. You cannot blame me for your
lack of office system. / will go to the

Both Johnson and Barney Oldfeld
who are scheduled to race at Sleeps
head Bay on oct. 20. say that the race
will be run, regardless of the boards
action.

Pennsylvania COACHES
HAVE NO NEED TO WORRY

II looks as If the Pennsylvania !
coaches know pretty accurately what
win be the final composition OF the
team for the Michigan game. AT the
present time, Spurance and Jourdet
seem 10 have the call on the ends.
They played these positions on theb
freshman team and so far have been
doing better work than the varsity
men, Marks and Large. The coaches
have about given up hopes that Fer
rier, last years tackle, will return, for
nothing has been heard from him.
Morris, new man, has been playing
unusually well at tackle and unless
he slumps he will surely win the po-
sition. on the other side of the line
Dillon and Murphy are fighting u out.
Chamer, Pike. Shoemaker, Wolferth
and Irwin are having a battle royal
for the guards, with the chances in
favor OF Wolferth and Cramer. Capt
Cozens, of course, is a fixture at CEN
ter.
The situation in the backfield is
rapidly being solved. There are three
men sure of positions here. They are
Hutchinson, Scott and Mercer. Hucth-
lnson has been out Of the game for
several days with an injured knee,
but he is now in shape again. He and
Scott make a splendid combination
| for the running and kicking game.
From the way Mercer has been play
ing he is likely 10 be the star of this
quartet He has proven to be better
ground gamer, whether in end running
or line plunging. than Hutchinson. and
promises 10 be as good a man as ex-
| Capt Hollenback.
The fourth man will be chosen from
Ramsdell Harrington, Clark, Haugh
Sommer, Keough and Minds. These
men are so evenly matched that prob
ably the coaches will use them as
substitutes and keep them fighting for
the place all season. Ramsdell, on ac-
count of his great speed, should be an
ideal man to complete this quartet
but he is so weak in other departments
of the game that the coaches have not
very much confidence in him.

participating in intercollegiate athlet-

leave for New Haven to matriculate
at Yale University.
Anderson's decision to leave the I'm
iversity of Wisconsin came after a
conference with his parents in Chicago,
who are anxious that he be given OPP
portunity to display prowess on the
gridiron and is the direct result of the
faculty forbidding him to play the

YOST OPPOSED TO
USE OF NUMBERS
THINKS PLAcARDlNo OF FOOT
BALL PLAYERS WOULD PLACE
PREMIUM ON INDIVIDUAL
STUNTS.

Ann Arbor. oct. 1.-THE Michigan
Daily is making a strong plea for the
,se of numbers to distinguish the
players in future football games at
Michigan, and there is a possibility
mat when the Wolverines face Brew
er's gang from NJ. A. G. tomorrow the
members of the Wolverine eleven will
no the bearers of hugh placards on
their backs with numbers l to IL in
cuslye 1t is argued that the new for
nation involving frequent shifts make
Il impossible for even persons famil-
lar with the players TO recognize the
men at a distance, and the press rep
resentatives especially are anxious
that the step should be taken. Last
saturday there was considerable con-
fusion In the press box because of in
ability to decide what member of the
backheld was carrying the ball at diff
ferent times, and 1t is argued that the
use of the system now being advocat-
ed would obviate the difficulty.
The system has been tried at nu
merous other colleges with greater or
less SUCCESS. OllltldlS III
have been aided by the innovation, for
without numbers or other distinguish
ing features IL is impossible for the
officials TO determine what men were
on the end of the line or back of the
line at n given time. Usually officials
are secured to whom every one of
the % players in the game are strang-
ers. The rules require that men re-
ceiving forward passes be players who
are on the end of the line of scrim-
mage or at least a yard back of the
line when the ball is put in play. 9th
er rules requiring the officials to know
who is who" have made the use of
numbers desirable.
Coach Yost is against the proposed
innovation, and without his support
there seems to be little chance that
II will be attempted at Michigan. He
has one excellent reason for his OBJ
lection, and one that isn't as force
full
"The ideal football eleven is the one
which subordinates the individual tC
the welfare of the eleven. 1t is to de-
velop such a team that we are striving
with all our strength. and am afraid
that the use of conspicuous numbers
would tend to bring the individual UNI
duly into prominence and make him
forget that he was part of machine
every cog of which has duty-to help
keep the machine running smoothly
If the players knew that they were
numbered and that everyone I'm the
stands could single them out. they
would have tendency to try for indi-
yidual glory the result of which
would inevitably be a blow to team
work."
For a second reason he advances the
argument that the spectators don't
care what player is carrying the ball,
and that all the crowd is interested In
Is the work of the team. That posi-
ton is open TO argument. for invari-
ably when an exceptionally good play
has been pulled off, the crowd i'm
medlately demands the name of the
man executing it, Primarily. OF course
the interest of the crowd is In the out
come Of the game. but the crowds. less
than the coaches who find such a sys-
tenn necessary, forget that there are
eleven players on each team.
