RUMOR SAYS
MR.. SMITH HAS
SET A DATE
Dopesters Declare "Iron Man.
Must Find Purchaser by Dec.
ll-SaIomon a Salesman.

That II. Clay Smith will give Joe
McGinnity until December IL to hno
a buyer is a story going the rounds to-
day. Smith departed yesterday fol
Chicago, saying that he would return
to attend the Eastern League conclave
Ia New York on that date. Meanwhile
he will let the sale of the Newark Club
rest until that time, in order to give
the Iron Man every chance to get
some capitalist to back him so that
McGinnity can remain at the helm OF
the local club.
Inquiry today elected the information
that George L. Solomon is probably
not in a financial position, nor has he
been, to invest in any of the Newark
Clubs stocks. Solomon is a baseball
bug, who has been friendly with Presi-
dent Charles Ebbetts, of the Brooklyn
Club, and it was stated at II tina that
he did some scouting for Brooklyn, but
Brooklynites, who are acquainted with
him. say that he has very little f1nan-
cial backing. as far as they know.
1t was probably Solomon Who tried to
interest Charley Ebbetts, the Brooklyn
magnate. in a deal whereby Ebbetts
would take over one-third of the New
ark Clubs stock. Solomon is also
friendly with Joe McGinnity and saw
several games at the local grounds. He
would doubtless like to become a mag
nate. but is said to lack the funds.
That is why II. Clay Smith was so
amused when asked if Solomon had
taken a half interest In the club.

Australia pair, yesterday failed, to de-
fend their lead of n lap in the six

A lap over which the scorers did not

TIGER RECRUIT WALSH
SLUGGER IN THE NEW
ENG. LEAGUE THIS YEAR.

Tony Walsh, n of the f~irst-sackers
nailed by the Newark Club to fill Joe
Agler's position next year, must be
something of a Baker with the stick.
He was the leading home-run smasher
in the New England League last year,
where he hit for the circuit thirteen
times during the course of the season.
Walsh, as was told in the Evening
STAR, comes to Newark through the
Chicago Nationals, who drafted him
from Fall River. His batting average
for the season was .305 and he led his
team in two-base hits. Walsh's home
is in Wilkesbarre, Pa, and he early
attracted the attention of Connie Mack,
who took him South in the spring OF
1910. Walsh jumped the team, but later
secured Connie Mack's pardon and was
permitted to play at Fall River. His
fielding is said to be excellent, and best
of all he is a total %abstainer.

NEW YORK, Nov. lO.-That the

vas learned yesterday when the league
appointed q committee OF five to re-
wise the rules and report TO the eX-
ecutive committee not later than the

rules are not adequate for a body
which proposes to be absolutely indie
pendent and govern all sports held in

was learned from an authoritative
source that as soon as new rules have
been arranged the league viii draw
up a new alliance and submit 1t to the
