BASEBALL TEMPEST
HAS STARTED TO
RAGE IN NEW YORK
What with Talk of Minor League Situation,
World Series Plans and Ticket Scalp
ing, There Is Much a-Brewing.
BAN JOHNSON WANTS REGULAR
ADMISSION TO WORLDS SERIES

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Enough base
ball men were on hand today to start
several informal conferences in prepar-
alton for the meetings of the two big
leagues, the Eastern League and the
National Commission here the first
three days of next week. The minor
league situation, changes in the worlds
series plans, syndicate baseball, the
New York worlds series ticket scandal
and betting are some of the principal
topics to be considered.
+ Rumors that the National League
meeting would produce a lively fight
to unseat President Thomas J. Lynch
have quieted, and the outlook is that
Mr.. Lynch will be reelected without
serious opposition. A proposition to
lengthen his term has been opposed by
Lynch, who says that he proposes to
meet the issue whether his admins
tration has been satisfactory at the
end of each eason
President Garry Hermann, of the
Cincinnati Club, chairman of the Ma
tional Commission, and President
Lynch, of the National League, are
here now, and President johnson, of
the American League, the third mem
Der of the commission, Is expected to-
morrow.
At their meeting on Monday this tri-
umvirate will consider notifications in
the charter, with representatives of the

three minor leagues, the national board
OF arbitration and the national asso-
citation. Changes contemplated are re-
vision of the draft price and rights of
class "A leagues on circuits of lower
rating, enforcement of a strict roster
limit for major league clubs and limit
Ing the drafting and purchasing of
players.
1t is said that Ban Johnson will
bring to the commissions meeting a
proposition to limit the price of admis-
sion at worlds series games to the
general price that prevailed during the
season. johnson also is the principal
advocate of beginning the worlds
championship battle next year as early
as October Z.
If the question of syndicate baseball
really comes to an issue a sharp di-
vision of opinion is expected. AT pres
ent the American League does not per-
NIT ownership of stock by the same
individual in more than one club. An
effort to have this rule adopted by the
National League failed last year by a
narrow margin, and it is said hat the
same men who defeated 1t then stand
ready to fight it again.
Before the magnates leave New York
1t is probable that the further owner
ship of the Boston National League
Club will be settled. There are several
bidders for the franchise already in
town.

TO SUCCEED,
THE LATEST

Unless Charley Doom and Horace
Fogel can reach a peaceful decision to-
morrow when the manager-catcher-ac-
tor goes to Philadelphia for a confer
ence with President Fogel, there will
be a new manager for the Phillies next
year, and it is believed In some quar-
ters that 1t will be George Stallings.
/ Stallings and Fogel have been in
communication by mail Ink by wire
since the Fogel-Dooin a~nirnosity broke
out afresh last week, and rapidly de-
veloped Into a raging conflagration.
That George Is anxious to get back
into the big show seems certain by his
actions from time to time. He has
been on friendly terms with the Phila-
delphia magnates and was handed
some OF their best surplus stock during
the past season.
Doom has been doing a vaudeville.

ings signed with Buffalo on the pro-.
yiso that he could at any time cur
his release. It would not be his first
job as manager in Philadelphia. He
piloted the Phillies some fifteen years
ago.

y ACCORDING TO
THE ADMISSIONS

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Dec. 9-"Derby
Day" Clymer, manager and president
of the local club, is not in favor OF
establishing a salary limit for minol
leagues according to their classified
ton. Clymer argues hat there is NJ
eason for the Three l, Tri-State and
Central leagues being classified with
the New York State League. He con-
tends that the brand of baseball is
different and that the New York State
League outdraws the others at the
gate.
Derby Day believes thee pest way
to solve the question is to arrange a
salary limit for each league according
to the paid admissions during the sea-
son.. He would force the president OF
each league to submit figures showing
the paid attendance in his circuit. Thu
league drawing the most persons would
be given the highest salary limit. He
would go down the list of figures I'M
til the salary limit of each league was

HOPPE SHOWS
SUPERB FORM
WITH worries

A crowd of $50 spectators turned out to
see Willie Hoppe and Lewis M. Crane
in a 4%00-point 1872 balk-line billiard
match at the National Turn Hall last
night. Hoppe ran his 400 off before
Crane had reached the century mark.
The skilful New Yorker clicked off
101 points on his longest run, while his
opponent, who was i'll at ease and not
at his best, stopped at twenty-five for
his high rum.
The clever Hoppe held his spectators
spellbound by his remarkably clever
exhibition and his marvellous ability to
bunch the balls almost at will. The
precision with which he played his
position time and again won the
plaudits of the crowd. After the match
Hoppe gave an exhibition of fancy
shooting. The score:

nike GIBBONS IS SAID TO BE POSSESSED
OF ALL THE PUGLISTIC FINE POINTS
Not Since Days of Terry
M'Govern Has Fighter
Been So Discussed.
Is ONE OF THE HARDEST
MEN IN RING TO LAND ON.

Mike Gibbons, who gave Walter Cof-
fey one of the worst trimmings In his
career in New York, is being touted by
the various critics as the real thing in
the welterweight ranks. Gibbons, be-
fore he appeared in New York. had
not achieved anything for which he
could be taken seriously. but since his
showing against Coffey, who gGined
lots of experience when the latter
trained Jack johnson for his fight with
Jeffries, he has doomed up strong as
the legitimate champion in the 49,
pound class.
Gibbons is one Of the headiest ight-
ers In the business, being possessed OF
all the inner points of the hit, stop
and getaway game. Not since the days
when Terry McGovern was keeling
them over one after the other in jig
time has any boxer been spoken SO
much of as Mike Gibbons. He has only
had three fights in New York, but on
each occasion he has won clean-cut
decisions where there has not been
the slightest chance of any of his OPP
ponents even giving him what might
be called q real hard workout. He
Is proclaimed a wonder and there are
many who have witnessed this boy in
action who believe that he car take the

dleweights who are aspiring to the title
left vacant by the late Stanley KetcheL
The promoters in New York are talk
ing of matching him with Frank Klaus,
the Pittsburg middleweighta-if they are
unable to induce Packey Mcfarland to
come East and try out this Gibbons
party. Many of the critics are of the
opinion that the Westerner can take
the measure of the stock-yards cham
pion if the latter will agree to make
142 pounds. Gibbons can easily weigh
in at the ringside at 145 pounds, and
his manager will consent to a match
If the Chicago lad will tip the beam
anywhere near the welterweight limit.
Gibbons Is all the Western critics
claimed he is-clever, heady, a good
ring general and quite a slammer.
He is a tall, thin fellow, with very
broad shoulders, a deep chest and a
back such as is set on good hitters.
