ANOTHER WAR WILL
AWAKEN new YORK
WHEN OWNERS Meet
Hermann Opposes Murphy
and Ebbets About Clos
ing Season.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3-The merry little
war over the worlds series ticket affair
is not the only one that Ii going to
wake up New York a week from Mon
day. No sir-ree! Another exciting lit
tie battle is already on the fiye. With
Charley Ebbets and Charlie Murphy
stirring things up on one side and
Garry Hermann leading the opposition,
the visitors to our fair city are in for
nice little siege.
Garry Hermann declares with a snap
OF his jaws that the National League
season hereafter will close before
october IL. The two Charles declare
with exactly as much firmness thats 1t
won't. Hermann is said to be backed
UT by the New York, st. Louis, Pitts
burgh. and Boston clubs. Murphy and
Ebbets are making another desperate
stab to hold on to their cherished
Columbus Day which comes around
on October IL. and they have the Phil
TO get in that holiday Murphy and
Ebbets held up the playing Of the
worlds series for a week last fall
season could have closed on October g.
Despite the fact that the interest in
baseball is practically gone by that
time and nobody cares whether 1t is
Columbus Day or not, MT Ebbet, In
the date in. And, believe me. Ebbets
Is some fighter.
The Giants and Brooklyn played a
double-header on Columbus Day as a
farewell affair last season, and while
the crowd was not very large Ebbets
declares that he got enough out Of 1t to
warrant him in standing out for the
long schedule again.
Mr.. Hermann says that Ebbets and
Murphy were allowed to have their
way last year 80 as to avoid anything
that looked inharmonious. This time
though, the others are going to run
things. and he says the National League
season will close about October 6,
simultaneously with the ending Of the
American League season. That will en-
able the two teams to go right into the
worlds series and wind things UP be-
fore the bad weather sets in, as 1t did
last fall. -
AS foolish as 1t may seem. this tight
over the closing dates for the National
League Is liable to cause a much bigger
disturbance than the investigation Of
the ticket affair.

BY THOMAS KIRBY.

Manager Clark Griffith and President
Tom Noyes will be Washington's rem

remain throughout the gathering.

tion In the negotiations. Griffith will not

Is closed with the University of Vir-
g;nia for the use Of it's field and gym
nasium during the training season of
about three weeks. Griffith Is satisfied
that the college town Is as good q place
as possible in which to condition
athletes and unless Virginia should re-
fuse to have the Nationals use the
grounds, no other place will be con-
sidered.
Since coming here Griffith has done
practically nothing but -acquaint him
self with conditions and he intends to
make no move until after the league
meeting.

most nv time in getting in touch
with the different details of the club"
said the manager today. land during
the remainder of the week I am going
over everything pertaining to the situa-
ton in regard to players. SO I will be
prepared to take up any proposition
that may be put up to me. We are
making every effort to weed out the
team and are going about plans for the
uplift."
With football finally out of the way
there will be an active revival Of base
hall before the dawn Of another week.
New York will be the mecca Of mag
mates, players, managers, and scribes
next Sunday, and for the greater part
of the week the American, National,
and Eastern Leagues will be discussing

league meetings are rather tame AFFAIRS,

but II Ban Johnson goes through with
his plans In connection with the in
vestigation of the ticket scalping at the
worlds series the New York club Is
likely to come In for pretty hard
panning.
The handling of the coupons at the
Polo Grounds was disgusting to base
ball patrons, and johnson does not in

keep putting it up to the Giants man.

There will be a banquet at the Hotel
Aston to the baseball writer's, who will

but tho most interesting gossip will
probably come, as In the past, from
the informal discussions between mana

closed seems rather improbable. but
many a trade will be talked over, and
some of these will be completed during
the course Of the following two months.

Poor old Bill Bailey.

Dolly Gray is fated to stay in the
East next year. This product OF Cali
fornia's sunshine simply hates this part
Of the country. 'Td like to have the
Washington club arrange to have me go
back to the coast" he told me one day
last summer in Chicago. This is as
far West as get for six months of
the year" Gray pitched in the Tri-
State League before coming to the
majors. Then he twirled his very best
ball with the Los Angeles club. He did
SO well that he was snapped up by the
local club. but Dolly couldn't stand the
change Of scenery. He longed for the
sunny days In California. and never
made good here. He apparently had
everything last spring at Atlanta. but
when the season opened he was the
same old loser as before. McAleer
would have dropped him last season, ex-
cept that nobody seemed to want him.

Clark Griffith Is quite smitten with
what Mike Kahoe tells him Of "Husk''
Cashion. and promises to give him a
careful looking over next spring when
the big boy reports for duty. II any
man can fnd class in a young pitcher.
that man ought to be this same Clark
Griffith. He would have been an Amos
Rusie himself had he possessed speed

on the mound. No man in major league
baseball ever showed more headwOrk
when In action than Griffith. He could
hold down the slusgers to the very last
when he had nothing but his smile and
the official league ball. Cashion ought
to show great Improvement next season
and come close to fulnliing that predic-
tion OF walter Johnson: "He has more
speed than I have. and ought to have
greater success"

Queensberry nauseats.

Dixie Walker Is one Of the men with
the Nationals who should show better
form next season under the manage
ment of Griffith. Walker has all the
natural ability needed in a winning
pitcher. He has the strength, speed
and stuff" requiring only brains. Yet
at times he has shown much of this
last, II baseball shrewdness can be
called brains. When going right, Wal
ker Is one of the best pitchers In the
American League. II handled properly
next year, he should better his record
Of last season considerably.

BOB THAYER's
Sporting Gossip
"Epery Knock Is a Boost"
Stuart or divert?

Stuart or Oliveri?
1t is pretty difficult to learn where
the report started that there was
trouble between the coaches of that
Central High School eleven which ended
Its season on Friday with a champion
ship and a record of not having been
scored on during the whole year.
Thomas was head coach and was re-
spected in that capacity by every man
who helped him, and the team was told
no matter what they thought OF the
situation. II was Thomas that they were
to look upon as being supreme. This
was told to the players by the other
coaches and there was not change be-
fore the head coach had been con-
suited. As soon as the game was over
Thomas personally thanked the men
around him and was cheered enthusi-
astically by his own team. The atti-
tude of Central seemed to be simply to
win. None of the players or coaches
appeared to care who got the credit, as
they were all fighting for the same
cause. 1t was a question OF a cham
pionship and not who, was to make the
touchdowns or who was to be praised
for helping in the development of the
eleven. ..s.- t.-

MARKET GARDENING.
Science of Vegetable Growing Perfect
ell within 81 Miles of Boston.

Prior to about n half-century ago, fruits
and vegetables We're grown almost entire
ly on New England farms for home con-
sumption and the growing of vegetables
for market was confined to small areas
within a radius of "a miles along rail-
roads and steamboat lines in Long Is
land. New jersey and Delaware, says c.
S, Heller of the Massa chusetts agricul-
tural college in an article in New Eng
land farms. At this time people had not
acquired a taste for vegetables out of
season, but were satisfied with the sup
ply during the period of natural growth
in the immediate localities. The inCreas-
ing population Of the cities. the opening
up of new country and the rapid transport
tation facilities now in use have increas-
ed the demand for a greater quantity
and a larger variety of vegetables At all
seasons of the year. and has given the
business Of vegeta blc-growing an i'm
pctus which has caused IL to develop with
remarkable activity. Large areas alonr
the Atlantic seaboard are devoted TO this
industry, and the New England district
occupies IA prominent place in supplyinr
our large eastern markets with vegetable
both in and out of season.
