LEAGUE COMBINE
AGAINST OUTLAWS"
VIII Bring Montreal Into
This Circuit if U. S.
T,eaOue Starts War

New York, Jan. EFT is learned on
very good authority that the major
and minor leagues would combine to
eheckmate the proposed OUTLAW move
by the promoters OF the United States
league against local territory. There
is every probability OF the Interna-
tionaI league being represented in
Greater New York in 1913. II not. in
deed, this year. The scheme is to trans
fer the Montreal franchise to the ma.
jor league territory of Long Island.
Such scheme would necessitate the
consent Of both National and American
leagues. and especially the indorse-
ment Of the Giants Highlanders and
Dodgers An International league
club owner is quoted as saying that the
major league clubs would not oppose
the plans especially IL the United States
or Columbia league so far went as to
try to materialize their plans Of a
CONAN INVASION The international
schedule could easily be arranged so
that there would be no conflicting
dates with the Superbas. OF course, a
club on Long Island would in no man
ner atfect the attendance Of the Giants
or Yankees.
It was intimated that the chief OBJ
staele IN the path of the Montreal
FRANCHISE transfer TO Long Island lies
in owner Sam Litchenhein, Of the
royals Owing to the terms of the
international league constitution such
transfer could not be made without
the consent of Litchenhein. This gen
ueman has steadfastly refused to con-
sloer Such move and has kept Mon
treal IN the circuit to the great finan-
claI emoarrassment Of his colleagues
The principal objection to Montreal is
It's isolation from the other cities OF
the circuit transfer would make a
more compact association.

TEXAS UNIVERSITY
PLANS TRACK MEET
Men Will Compete With the
University of Mis-
souri, Athletes.
SOuT1 AJhIeteS.

Austin. Tex. Jan. Negotiations
have been taken up by the athletic
council Of the University of Texas
looking to a track meet early in April
between that Institution and the Uni
Vers1ty OF Missouri. The meet will
De held IN Austin, if arrangements are
concluded In satisfactory manner.
1t is understood that Missouri is
especially DESTROYS Of having a meet
with Texas, as the weather is so much
warmer here in April than IL is in Co
lumbia. The Tigers look on the meet
with Texas In the nature of a 'prac-
tlce meet but Texas may be able to
spring surprise. Certain il is that
Texas has the best track and field ma
terlal It has ever had and coach Taylor
believes there is a chance Of defeating
the Missouri team.
Following the meet here the Texas
track team viii go to Louisiana to
play the State university. This meet
viii be for the state championship OF
Texas and Louisiana and is creating
great deal Of interest.
Baseball. both at the University OF
Texas and the Agricultural and Ne
chanical college Of Texas, is beginning
TO look up. Texas has an especially
strong team and the farmers are also
Dragging c. their organization. They
have 80 men reporting for duty every
day now AID out Of that number ought
to be able TO secure a good. fast nine.
WenlF- tnfee cOlleSe games nave al
ready been arranged. Those Win
teams from out of Texas are: Missis-
sippi college at College Station, April
II. u and Is; Louisiana State univer-
sity at College Station, April p and
%; Oklahoma university at CollegN
Station, May and Z. The greatest
interest attaches to the latter game,
which will be probably for the cham
pionship Of the two states. No game
viii be played this year between the
University Of Texas and the Agricul-
tura1 and Mechanical college, all ath-
letic negotiations being broken off as
a result Of the differences over the

Fans Are impatient.
Impotence of the fans has taken the

They are not willing to wait and give

baseball inhabitants are afflicted with

they will be working against the very

before IL has chance to develop to

record for bringing players TO the

when their playing days are over, they
are capable Of taking the managerial
reins Of other big league clubs

are Jimmy Callahan. Of the White SoI:

New York, y. Y, Jan 27.-That base
ball players are human and have hui
man Instincts can be accepted as an
axiom. They have their likes and dis
likes, just as have all other mortals.
but the ways in which they exhibit
them are sometimes most singular
It has been said that when ball
player acquires an aversion for any
thing or for any place. nothing can
erase it. That may be trus, and again
It may not, but the fact remains that
there is one city in the big league cir
cults which players seem to try to
steer clear Off already there. they
strain to get away and. once gone, new
er return If they can help it.
That town is St Louis
Is Good City.
The reason is not that St Louis is
not good baseball city. It is a good
one. In fact. 1t IS too good, and that
is where the answer lies.
After comparing the crowds, both in
size and kind. that turn out at the diff
ferent big league parks, through sew
eral years no conclusion can be drawn
than that the Mound City has the most
rabid bunch of baseball fanatics in the
country. They are a boon to the mag
nate, but a bane to the player. They
study baseball, and, as a rule. know
baseball much better than the brother
fan in. say. for instance. Chicago. or
Philadelphia, with all their champion
teams.
These bugs" go into spasms Of en-
thusiasm and delight over a players
work when it is good. but they en-
ploy equally extreme methods in evinc-
ing their displeasure when his efforts
are unprOductive' Of results They
have an efficient booster band" but
the -konckers' club" can play rings
around the other gang. And it does
so: has been doing so for the past de-

so magnified by the fans that the man

he wants to or not

ond. and Harry Lord is a fixture at
third.
The Phillies have a gang Of twirlers
on their pitching staff that viii make
that team one to be considered for
pennant hOnOrs in the 1912 race. The
leader Of the gang IS Grover Cleveland
Alexander, yOungster who has more
stuff than any young pitcher who ever
broke into big league, and that is
saying great deal. George Chalmers
comes next In youth and ability.
George took considerable time to get
down to style. He delivered the pill
all right, but he telegraphed his throw
by allowing the opposition to see the
motions that he made. Along toward
the shank Of the season the Phiuies'
catchers had him broken in right. and
since he has learned to stick his back
TO the batter and take his swing, his
work has been more effective. The
third member Of this trio is. Addie
Brennan Addle didn't get enough
work with the Ph1Iies last year TO
keep him from throwing wild. but he
worked In turn and out Of turn with
the Buffalo club, and that did the
trick he comes back TO the big club
this season and ought to be good for
a number OF victories He is the south
paw OF the bunch
Then there is Toots Shultz, who is
good twirler, though his disinclina-
ton FOR strenuousity has often worked
against him.
The Phillies have a relief pitcher in
Doc Scanlon- who comes to them from
Brooklyn. He Is said to be a corker,
fun Of nerve, and can go right in off the
reel without a lot OF preliminary warm
ing up. With him. instead OF working
the regular pitcher to take up a bur
den. Doc can be utilized whenever it is
necessary. The Phiuies have no kick
coming on the caliber OF their pitching
staff, looking at matters from cham
piOnship angle.
