Owner Ebbets Talks on Changes in

MINOR LEAGUES HAVE

NEW YORK, November 3O.-''I am
thinking more about what position the
Superbas will occupy in 1911 than I am
who will be president OF the National
League of that season." declared Charles
E.bbets OF the Brooklyn club. The OBJ
iect of my journey to Chicago recently
was not. as some of the Windy city
scrbes thought. and as appeared to be
the impression of the base ball writers in
the east, to talk to James A. Hart, former
president of the Chicago National League
club, abou. running for the presidency of
our league against Thomas j. Lynch next
month
Il hoped to see Hart when / was in
Chicago, because lie and are old friends
but had / met him l would not have
asked him to become a candidate for the
presidency OF the National League, nor
would I have promised him the vote Of
the Brooklyn club in case lie came to me
and asked me for my support,
II myself have been dissa tisficd with
certain conditions in base ball, and while
I have not found OUT all the reasons that
made the eastern leagucrs and the Amer
can Association magnates desire a high

has been in the game too long to last
much longer. and it would not be surpris-
ing if he met his Waterloo at the hands
of Pal Moore i'll New York tonight. The
turning point jill Atteils career was pre-
dictcd some time ago Vet he has con-
tinUed to win several bouts i'm the mean
time, though experts contend that he
seemed to be going back. In Pal Moore
lie meets a younger and very agile op-
ponent. and defeat for Attell would not
be surprising.
There is quite a difference in ball towns
In some localities the fans are more en-
thusiastic and appreciative than in others
and judging from the hard time Phila.
delphia paper is having trying to get the
followers of the worlds champions to
subscribe to a fund to buy Eddie Collins
an automobile there are cold lot of
fans in that burg
1t is quite different here. When Walter
Johnson established new strikeout
record it did not take long to get ND a
flve-hundre d-dollar purse or him. and vet
though they have been working for two
months and printing an invitation for.
subscriptions every day in PHILADELPHIA.
they have not quite gotten together $40
toward the Collins automobile fund. and
we dare say that Collins did about as
much for the Athletics as did johnson
for the Nationals

WILL NOT TRADE HONUS.
Pirates Deny That Wagner Will Be
SWapped to Cincinnati.

PlTTSBJRG, Pa, November 30.-Infor-
nation from Cincinnati that a deal is on
between Pittsburg and Garry Hermann
FOR the transfer of Hans Wagner to that
city In exchange for HoblitZell and
Catcher Tom Clark angered owners Of the
Pittsburg club yesterday and caused them
TO issue Genials. The story was that Carl
Kruger of Cincinnati had received let
ter from Tom Clark. in which the catcher
wrote that he had been given to under
stand both himself and Hoblitzell were to
be traded TO Pittsburg FOR Wagner, etc.
These players are humorists when they
start TO write letters to each other said
Secretary Will A. Locke of the Pirates
this afternoon. I've no doubt Mr.. Clark
a. Cincinnati wrote that to his friend.
Ball PLAYERS usually write something
when they communicate with each other,
but thank goodness they don't all have
such dreams this. Clark is actually
funny. His joke is the best one OF the
season. So We are trading Wagner for
HoblitZell and Eli. Huh"
Neither Locke nor any other member OF
the directorate of the Pittsburg club VOL
unteered any denial that Wagner might
be disposed OF to some club. however.

BOSTON HAS BIG GAP!
TOF|LL AT FIRST
Jake StahPS Retirement Will
Put Red Sox in a
Deep Hole.

BOSTON, November 30.-1f Jake Stahl
makes good his promise to retire from
the diamond. Manager Patsy Donovan is
going to have a tough problem to solve
in filling the big fellows shoes at first
base.
This is a statement that Manager Don
ovan himself would confirm were he on
this side of the big pond. 1t is state
ment that the Boston infielders would be
more than willing to substantiate 1t is
will acknowledge.
New York has it's Hal Chase, Chicago
its Frank Chance, but neither Of them
has whole lot on big. good-natured
Stahl. That Is, when you come to con-
slider Jake's ability to pound out long
hits. And as fielder the Red Sox
giant is also Of the first water.
Taller than<Chase or Chance, and with
a reach longer than that of either, he
made a splendid target for Wagner,
Purtell and the other infieldcrs to throw
at, and many a Wild peg last season
Jake had the height and the reach to
corral it before 1t got to the bieachers.
His retirement will leave q serious gap
Good first basemen are mighty hard to
find. Detroit, for instance, has not been
able to secure a real high-class first
y
Manager Jennings will be forced to take
an otutelder, Sam Crawford, and put
him on the first bag, according to his
plans for next season.
OF course, Hugh Bradley may do. Brad
ley signed up originally with Boston as a
first baseman and he went out last spring
with the understanding that he was to be
Stahl's understudy. A lack Of competent
catching material and the poor work OF
Pat Donahue, who was later shifted to
Philadelphia, forced Manager Donovan to
put Bradley behind the bat. The Wor-
cester boy did fairly good work there.
but he never felt satisfied. AS he used to
tell Donovan First base is where /
shine And at every opportunity he was
out practicing that position, feeling that
if he only waited patiently the opportunity
might come his way.
With Stahl out Of the way Bradley is
the logical choice for the position, as
there is no available irst-sacker in sight
that the Boston team could secure in
trade. Bradley is q mighty good fielder
and the only thing that would stand In
the way of his filling Stahrs shoes would
be his inability to equal Stahl as q hitter.
But II played regularly his batting might
be improved very materially.
There seems to be q feeling about town
that Stahfs threatened retirement comes
as the result of a decrease in salary, but
President Taylor says that there is abso-
Iutely no justification for such rumcr.
as Stahl was not one Of the number to
nave the contract figure shaved.

ATTELL AND MOORE
TO FIGHT TONIGHT
PhiIadeIp hia Youth Believed to
Have a Good Chance
Against Champion.

NEW YORK. November 30-Tonight,
a the FairmOnt A. G. in the Bronx. Abe
Attell, featherweight champion of the
world. will fight The word fight is used,
for AttellS opponent is to be Pal Moore,
the philadelphia Phantom" Moore end
ed his training at Jimmy de Forests
camp in Allenhurst. y. J.. last night in
the pink of condition, and when Pal is in
that kind of shape he rs capable of max
ing any boxer hustle to keep up with
him.
In nearly all his recent contests Attell
has boxed cleverly enough. but he has
always been inclined to let the other fell
low do the forcing, while Abe contented
himself with cieverly sidesteppins out of
danger. and now and then putting over a
light punch calculated to make the affair
look like a real battle.
Tonight, however. the featherweight
champion will have to do much more
than he has shown in the ring in the
last year. That Attell realizes this is
proved by the fact that he demanded a
week longer to get into condition, and
eight DAYS in order to get down 10 the
hardest kind of training that he has in
oulsed in for many months.
There are those who are slightly of

Nearly all Attelfs opponents have al
lowed Attell to set the pace, and at this
the feather champion is champion in

Moore. Pal announces that he will be
the pacemaker this evening. and it is
we'll known fact that the Philadelphia
who still possesses that greatest of all
inVisorators, real youth, can carry
fight through ten rounds at an astound-
ing pace
If AtteIl can defeat Moore, then it
will show that Abe is q second Cans

the early rounds of the bout. Pal has
met clever men before, and while they
have outpointed him at the start, he has

Owners Object.

Owners OF the clubs in little cities like
Rochester and indianapolis object to run
ming the risk of losing their best player
for a stipulated $1,000. They occasional
ly refuse a big bid for their star, trust
him the players name will not be pulled
out of the hat. The American Associa
ton and Eastern League magnates dc
not relish losing q star for the paltry
sum Of $1,000, and l know mighty vel
that the major league club owners are
getting tired of paying $1,000 apiece fol
athletes who may never make good.
Il have talked with several club own
erS in our organization and they feel
with me, that minor league club tina,
develops a star player should be paid
properly for doing this. There should be
however, and there isn't just now. Some
times one of our clubs drafts n star play
or for 81 900 and then pays six or seven
times this amount for a man who is
\. q.
The National League clubs could, il
they wanted To, combine and refuse 20
purchase Il star athlete, taking their
chances on getting him by the draft
route and then deciding among them
selves what members of the combination
are tntitIed to have the player. In my
opinion some new scheme should be dc
viscd that would protect both INA jor and
minor league clubs against injustice.
Waste Money.
Under the present conditions. if the
brooklyn club wanted third bas..1ar
we might draft three men at 81 DW
apiece and spend 5000 i'll purchasing
two other athletes and still not get any
one who would strengthen us. Tie play
crs We took from the minor league clubs
We would have Il hard time finding berths
for when we found they would not go.
THE Eastern League clubs and the
American Association teams want to be
paid for developing stars, and l know
that every club in our league and the
American would prefer to buy seasoned
material and pay full value for it in.

and SpeculatiDg in futures.
