NOT AFTER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Though
rumor has had deal brewing where
by George Stovall of the Maps was
TO become a member of the Nationals.
there is not the slightest chance eor
such a transaction to take place.
The lacal club is not dealing for
veteran players and does not feel that

President Noyes said this morning
that il Manager McAleer contemplat.

Manager McAleer has any idea OF
pulling OF any deals for players OF
the Stovall kind. because we don't

any deals for veterans will be made
this winter, for the reason that we

aud these are TO be developed. II IL
is to be our policy TO try and build
up a winner with young material, we
are not going to pay much attention
to chances TO get veterans, said

hackers ASK
MONEY BACK

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept. 24.-Base-
ball fans who have lost interest In the
National and American league races will
be entertained by Cincinnati parties,
ably assisted by various baseball mo-
guls. located In other cities until the
start Of the world series. The scenery
has been shifted and instead Of dia-
mond. alive with uniformed players
engaged in play. the eyes OF the fans
will be greeted by settings represent
Ing law Offices, hotel Hobbies and the
headquarters OF the two major
leagues.
Since the action of the National com
mission In declaring against the series
proposed by Fletcher, Livingston and
Wilbern have quit the proposition and
want TO stop the payment OF the certi-
fed checks which have been sent TO
the players under contract. They are
being aided by the National and Ameri-
can league magnates. Fletcher has
retained attorneys and says he will
fight. not only to pull of the proposed
games. but to see that the players
get an opportunity to cash the certi'
fed checks.
Fletcher announces, however, that
the case will not be fought In the Gin
cinnati courts, but will be taken TO
some other city, where the courts are
freer from political influences.

ROSSMAN
LOSES CASE

It's tough when the grasping mag.
mates snatch all the money you have
coming and turn you back to the minor
leagues. At least, that Is what Claud
Rossman. late of the Tigers, later OF
the Browns, thinks. Claud appealed to
the National commission for Justice
and got IL.
You recall when he went to the st.
Louis club he was stationed In right
field. Ross played one game there.
Then they asked him to return to first
base and he pooh-poohed at the man
agement. Then he left the team. The
matter was taken before the commits
sion because Rossman wanted that
one days pay.
The commission gave the Solomon
esque decision that Rossman hesitated
long in reporting to the Browns, that
he did work one day in right field with
credit to himself and club. and that
he jumped the next. Therefore. he
was fined the one days stipend and
has nothing coming. Tough luck. with
a long, hard winter approaching.

I Smith" Captain Benbrook also was
very reticent. Il know absolutely moth
ing about Smith," was all he would
say.
The line formation 10 slightly Diff
ferent as arranged by the football
wizard" He is playing the offensive
line with a larger space between each
man than has been seen in former
years. II is evident that Yost has
seen the need of the line covering as
large a space as possible In order to
give the backfield the best protection
for the long passes and trick plays
that will form the biggest part OF the
game this year.
The rule which requires all forward
passes and kicks to be made from a
point Ave yards back Of the line OF
scrimmage has caused most Of the
plays TO start from this point and IL ID
therefore necessary TO protect q large
space In order that the play can be
we'll under way before the defense
can break through There viii be no
more opening up OF holes for line
plunges except when one man goes
through the line and In that case the
back field will do the work. This
leaves the line playing man opposed
10 man rather than az one solid wall.
Yost is repeatedly cautioning the men
from playing too close together and
endeavoring TO get the line used to
the new formation.
Another point that he Ia drilling on
is the catching OF forward passes. On
Ser the new rules when A. forward
pass touches the ground II becomes
any mans ball and a team cannot AZ
ford to miss very many passes for the
gain made by the runner OF the other
side will be likely to net more than
the penalty OF the old rules lost As
yet. however. all is merely conjectur-
ed and 1t will take several contests TO
determine the fine points OF the new
game.

sey Wheel Co, Burroughs Adding
Machine Co, Gear Grinding Machine
Co, Northway Motor Mfg. Co., De-
Thinker Axle Co.. Hayes Mfg. Co..
and Roberts Brass Mfg. Co., closed a
very successful season last week and
the Kelsey Wheel Company's team
was the pennant winner with the fine
record of IL won and only l lost.
The article of ball played In this
league during the season was far
above the brand OF the ordinary anna
teur kind. which was due to the fact
that among the roster OF the different
teams were some of the best baseball
talent in this vicinity
Another thing that helped to keep
up the interest of the league was the
number OF prizes offered to the win
ming team and individual players.
Among the list being sterling
silver cup and medals donated by
Richard Jackson, Jr., OF A. G. Spald--
ing & Bros, a handsome trophy by A.
r. Demory, second vice-president OF
the Timken-Detroit Axle Co., and In
diyidual gold medals for the leading
infielders, outfelders, pitcher, batter
and base stealer donated by the De
troit Free Press.
Sigsbee, the big hitter OF the Bur
roughs team, was the winner of the
individual medal for batting, laying
them out for total Of .512 for IL
games.
Peltz of the Kelsey Wheel and
Guetschow Of Roberts Brass were al
SO big clubbers. hitting for 500 and
AIS respectively in eight games.
In base running Fineberg, also OF
Burroughs, was the leader with IA pill
fered sacks, and takes down the medal
for his work.

awarded the prize for the pitchers
Chapman being the lucky lad. He wor

led all the other twirlers, although

was the winner Of the outfeldinl

for games.
