NATIONAL LEAGUE DOESN'T
 WANT TROUBLE WITH AMERICAN
But Ban Johnson Declares He Was Not Sup ported in Probe of Worlds Series
 Ticket Scandal

t'Do you consider that you have re- ceived assistance from the other mem bers of the commission and the New York club in your investigation?'
 'I do not" was the reply.
 'Is it true that detectives who were engaged to work on the ticket scandal named three men, who, they said, delivered 5000 seats to representatives of the hotel theatre ticket agents al the Hoffman House on Or about Oc- tober 5?"
 'It is a fact.'
 "Wfat were the names of. these men?"
 vincent Hilliard and Abrahams. '
 .Dfd they charge premium of s1 per ticket to the speculators and was it paid?''
 ''The commission has evidence to that effect"
 ''Is it true that 4,200 tickets were sold. that 1,700 were returned and LOG were unaccounted for?''
 t'That is what the detectives said.'
 s'Was there anything in the evil dence that tended to duplicate w. M Gray?"
 'I believe Gray did nothing wrong. His name was frequently mentioned in the report we received. but there was nothing to show collusion.''
 When will the ticket scandal be taken up again by the commission ?''
 l OO uoI knOW- IL IS up to M Hermann to call a meeting. As far as I am concerned. I am going to Chicago tomorrow afternoon"
 "What have you to say about the American Leagues resolution?"
 '1t speaks for itself. We are tired of dealing with the other league"
 Have you been blocked in your attempt to get a quick verdict in the ticket case7" '-'
 .sYou know that several persons were proved guilty of collision with scalpers in Chicago two years ago and that I wanted to have them driven out of baseball. but I was not allowed to go through with my plan."
 "Is anybody guilty of collusion with speculators here this fall?''
 Proof may be lacking, but there's evidence, and it's easy to draw a con- clusiOn.''
 A report was in circulation yester- day to the effect that Horace Fogel of the Philadelphia Nationals had of fered to trade "Red Dooin to Boston for Pitcher Tyler, Catcher Rariden, and Outf1elder Miller; that he had of fered Dooin and Moore to Pittsburg had made the same offer to Brooklyn in exchange for Rucker, Erwin and Wheat.

New York, Dec. 13-Garry Herr mann has refused to pick up the gauntlet thrown down by Ban John son and the American league mag mates, and there will be no baseball war if the strategy and cool-headed business judgment of the chairman of the National Commission can prevent it. The betting, early today, was that HerEmann would be equal to the job.
 While a baseball war makes good sport page reading at this season of the year, the fact that it would prove a costly luxury to the men who are making big fortunes out of the game is not overlooked by the real powers in the sport and that the fiery resolu- tions of the American league, adopted yesterday, are generally regarded as a harmless midwinter 'bogey' was shown, last night, when, with the res- oliutons showed into his hands as he sat down to the banquet given the baseball writers by the athletic man. agement at the Astor House he rose to the occasion and in a speech, short ly afterward, declared that it took two sides to make a fight and that he intended to use all, of his influences to prevent his National league col- leagues from becoming the second equivocation Or Quibbling, Hermann declared that both as a member of the National Commission and as a National League Clubowner, he stood for the most thorough investigation of the causes contributing to the dis agreement between the rival leagues and that he was strong for the fix- ing of the blame for the New York ticket speculating scandaIthe causus belli in the present situation-just where it belonged, regardless of how high up the guilty persons might be.
 Herrmann's, speech was enthusias- tically received by all the American League magnates and served to com- pletely disarm the toastmaster, Ban Johnson, for the time being. While there is every probability that the war talk will continue for several months, until real baseball news again becomes available, the wise heads figure that the monetary in terest of the magnateS themselves, who know the actual cost of a base ball war, will in the end serve to in- sure against an actual break between the major organizat tions.
 While the American Leaguers were taking this step, which was consid- cred a slap at Hermann and Lynch because of their apparent opposition to Ban Johnson's attempt to unearth facts relating to the ticket scandal made by him at the National Commis- sion meeting on Monday, facts began to leak out. Johnson at first refused to make an explanatory statement, but finally answered some questions The first one was:

Eichter of the Family,


 The tough little boy with the red air and freckled face pushed up against the neat little boy and said impudently:
 My sister can lick your sister, The neat little boy did not argue the matter.
 And my big brother can lick your big brother"
 The good little lad winced. "And my ma can lick your ma" The quiet lad shifted from one foot to the other.
 "And my pa can lick your pa." There was flash of pink shirt waist, the sound of some hard object coming in contact with a spongy sub- stance, and the quiet little lad stood triumphantly over his adversary. quietly waiting for him to push his nose back into the center of his face where it belonged.
 "But just remember this," he ob- served quietly. you can't lick me- Youngstown Telegram.

and their own skill as pilots of a pair of steeds. The other players in the carriages smiledNand indulged in sarcastic comments about the pair of players mounted on top of the driv- ing seats. Chalmers winked at Walsh and Walsh winked back, both cracked their .whips over the backs of the startled steeds and the two teams started madly down the narrow lane streets of Havana The players could not reach them and they clutched the sides of the vehicles and said words Walsh and Chalmers only tossed the ribbons on the backs of the horses and urged them on fn the chariot race. Around corners and past other teams the carriages flew. 'Who is the best driver?" sang out Chalmers. 'You, George, you." replied the panic stricken players in the carriage, ''But pull up, you'll kill us.''
 So he is the best, is he?" yelled Walsh, watch me take his wheel off on the next turn.''
 You got him beat" pleaded those who were hanging onto the sides of going over!' The most exciting part of the entire race was that the drivers understanding no English, thinking that these daring Americans had sud- denly gone mad, both made flying leaps to the sidewalk, coat-tails fly ing and high hats rumbling along af- ter them.
 Harry Davis, the Old Reliable now the manager of the Maps, is still pot ting ducks on the Chesapeake Bay.

"No one will get Donlin away from us un- less I lose my mind or unless they offer me so good a trade that it would be folly to refuse" said Tennev. The Boston manager also stated that in his opinion Cy Young would have a
 good year in 1912 He pointed out that any one who could pitch the games that Young pitched against Pittsburgh must have something on
 the ball, and recalled the fact that | with run on the bases Young had struck out the mighty Wagner with three pitched balls.

"Yes," said the small bay boy to the reporter, who was looking for some news to put in his paper; mother fell downstairs and broke three legs"
 "Pshaw! What are you giving me. youngster? cried the reporter. Don't be too funny. Your, mother hasn't got three legs"

BIG LEAGUE GOSSIP

Sherwood Magee, the star left field CT of the Phillies, who has returned from Cuba, says that the island has produced some good ball players and
 that within ten years they will reach a standard on a par with the Eastern League and that he expects to see their share of big league stars come from the little dot on the Atlantic
 oceans edge.
 Otto Knabe, who may lead the
 PMllies in 1912, had a peculiar ex-
 perience while in Cuba. They called
 Knabe the Little Thunderbo,t'' while
 he was there. Knabe is the weird
 est fellow in the world for scraping
 up unique friendships, and the last admirer of ithe Phillies' second
 sacker Is a Chinaman who lives on the island and is noted as a famous
 handler of fighting chickens. Of all
 the odd combinations to be seen,
 Knabe, his ferocious blooded Celestial
 pal and a bundle of feathered war
 riors on their way to the pits must
 have been the strangest. Knabe prof
 golian, for while the other players had to wait a week for their duds, Knabe could get his done in half day and he vas a big winner on all
 of the cock fights where his long-cued
 comrade had entries.
 Jim Magee, the younger brother of Sherwood Magee, is a true athletic ac- tivtty as a basket ball star and then | journeyed down to the Panama Ca
 nal. Now he, has been signed by
 the St. Louis Americans and will season. He was with the Phillies | once, but at that time he did not
 have enough poKsh to stay up in the fast set. Sherwood claims that his brother hits the ball harder than he does himself and with a years exper-
 fence he will stay in the big com pany. Magee has sold his motor car and he is anxious to again lead the big league in batting as he did in 1910. Magee claims he gave too much attention to motoring and it hurt his | hitting.
 There is vast treat awaiting the Athletics when they go South. for lit l tie Dave Danforth, the pony pitcher | from the Lone Star State, has plan | ned to give some of his pals on the team a treat long to be remembered. Dave has the finest brace of grey hounds in the State of Texas, accord | ing to those who know the breed and
 he uses them exclusively for the sight
 races at the nimblefooted jack-rab- bits of his native State. Eddie Plank Bris Lord and Chief Bender are the | crack shots of the Champions and
 when they go to San Antonio fore the | spring training they will have the
 dogs of Dave Danforth to start up | the sandoplane bunnies that infest | Texas.
 Pitcher George Chalmers gave a 1 party of the Phillies the time of their | lives while the team was in Cuba. The I Phillies pined for excitement and | Chalmers decided that they should
 have any thing they desired. "Runt'' | Walsh and Chalmers took the Phillies
 out for a drive on a Sunday after noon at the hour when all Cuba that
 has the price parades about the his ! toric city of Havana in open barouch- es Walsh and Chalmers were driv-
 tng, with the real reinsmen sitting in the carriage enjoying the treat of be- | ing driven about, when they had a l dispute about their respective teams

The HILLBILLIES SLUGGED
in undressing GAME

Terrific smuggling by the visitors,
coupled with the inability of the Wood
peckers to connect with Randall's
curves caused the loss of the second
game of the series to the Hillbillies
by a score of to 1.
While the hits were pretty evenly
divided between the two teams the
visitors had all the best of it and at
no stage of the game did the home
team have as much as peep in to
win. Home runs by Brewster, the
er of the Hillbillies with men
on bases soon to put the game on
cold storage. Smiths heavy hitters
were at the mercy of Randall, and ex-
pected and much needed hits failed to
materialize. They all looked alike to
Randall: Aside from the hitting of the
visitors and the sensational stop of
Madden's hot drive and unassisted
double play by Kuhn, the Hillbillies
first sacker, the game was featureless.
The game started with Eaton on the
mound for the Woodpeckers and hopes
naturally ran high. The first two men
up for the Hillbillies were quickly re-
tired and things looked good when
one Mr.. Mills stepped up to the plate
and deliberately, with malice afore-
thought lambasted the spheroid over
the Traction Company's right of way
for something over four sacks. This
unwarranted act of the Hillbillies'
manager evidently took the life out Of
Eaton. He entered the mound for the
second act of the tragedy and forth
with took an aeroplane, four hits be-
ing registering against his delivery, one
of them for four bags, netting four
runs. Burleson, the new twirler from
Texas was sent to his relief, but it
was too late. Burleson shows class
as a pitcher and held the Hillbillies
within bounds until the sixth, when

exhibition of his prowess with the

GO ON STRIKE

1t is reported that President Frank

is facing a dilemma that probably no.
other baseball mogul ever confronted.
Il is threatening strike of the Off
cial scorers of the circuit, and the
league chief, who is in the midst of
campaign of reelection as circuit
clerk of Warren county has not had
much time to deal with the situation.
1t has been the rule of this league
to pay the scorers 81 a game, but they
thing they should have so and are not
at all backward in coming forward
with their demands. Some of them
have refused to turn in their official
scores till President Scott sends them
check for so game, but this the ex-
ecutive has refused to do.
unless the scorers back down, as Presi-
dent Scott is holding a stiff upper lip
and making his canvass for re-elec-
ton, his smile still in evidence.
Just who started the kick is not
known, but President Scott would like
to locate the villain Immediately after
the primary election, he says, so as to
discuss the matter with HMM his
own way.
