Glass AA Leagues Viii
Soon KnO1p Their Position

and Pacific Coast leagues to a higher
rating.
The American League. in session in
Chicago, made no such agreement on
the question of asking class IA clubs
for waivers, but left the matter in the
hands of Ban Johnson, their president,
who will very likely agree with the Ma
tional League. and then 1t will be up
to the three class AA leagues to accept
the proposition or make some other
suggestions.
Joe McGinnity is of the opinion that
the rule making it imperative for the
big fellows to ask waivers on their
men in the class IA leagues will be
a big boon.
I'm the past says Joe, they could
draft Il star player and send him to q
lower league, and we would have no
redress at all. We never had another
chance to land him. I do not think
the player limit, something new for
us, will prove a handicap. 1t is made
to prevent wholesale farming.
I'm the past we never had any
player limits and were privileged to
take under an agreement players from
major league clubs which had to cut
down their rosters during the drafting
season. 1t was only a cover-up scheme.
Under the new ruling this will be i'm
possible"

BrOzvn Won't
Quit Baseball,
but the Cubs
Three fingered Marvel Doesn't
Want to Play with the
PhilIies Either.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. 16.-Mordecai
Brown. the great three-fingered twirl-
er of the Cubs, announced yesterday
that he wants to be traded and con-
tinue to play ball. He said he had
heard that President Murphy. of the
west side club. had threatened to
trade him because he had not
signed a contract for nex season. and
Brownie says he doesn't know
whether it's a bluff or not.
However, If 1t is a bluff, he says he
desires to call 1t. and will tell Mr..
Murphy when he returns from New
York to go ahead and trade him.
There's only one other club in the
National League with which 1 refuse
to play. and that is Philadelphia" said
the veteran pitcher. IF Pm to be
traded, I want to make sure of get
ting away entirely from present sur
roundings, and I feel sure that any
club in the National League will pay
me more money than my contract with
the Cubs carries. In fact, that's the
reason I'm willing to be traded. It's
only because l want to make more
money that l have been looking over
business propositions In Chicago.
IF I can get more by playing ball
am willing to play. l have received
a contract from President Murphy, and
am carrying 1t in my pocket. I have
not signed II, and have no intention of
doing So"

If The American League, or, rather,
Ban Johnson, has views hat coincide
with the National League magnates
the three Glass AA leagues will soon
know just how many concessions asked
for and approved by the National AS
ISOLATION, but still to be 20, KID" by
the major leagues, will be obtained.
The National League before ending
its session yesterday agreed to the
ruling that its managers must ask
waivers on Glass AA players before re-
turning them to the bushes, providing
the Glass AA ~leaguers are willing to
pay $3.50 in addition to the draft price
paid by the majors. This $3.50 is sup
posed to cover the expenses Of the
majors who take the recruits on the
training trips.
The National League also decided in
favor of the ruling that major clubs
be restricted to thirty-f1ve men dur
ing the drafting season and twenty
five men during the playing season,
while the class AA leagues should hold
under the same conditions 80 and 20
men.
With these provisions the National
League agreed to accept the other
regulations covering the advance of the

Plans Are Now
Complete for the
Big Motordrome
Completed Plans Announced for
Meadows. Plant at Trade
Board Meeting Last Night.

Complete details for the monster
motor speedway to be erected by thu
Metropolitan Motor Speedway Asso.
citation Of Jersey City are embodied II
a booklet issued at the West Hudson
Board of Trade meeting last night. The
finances for the project will amount to
81, 100000 divided into $4,000 shares, the
track being constructed in such a
manner as to afford facilities for any
branch of outdoor races and other
sports besides the primary purpose
automobile and motorcycle races.
The track will be oval in shape SO
as to eliminate all dangerous curves,
thereby minimizing the danger and at
the same time augmenting the speed
of the riders. The site necessary for
the track two miles long and sixty feet
wide will require the purchase Of 175
acres at 81, $3.50, 900. The track will have
a brick surface, which will do away
with the slipping and skidding which
endangers the lives Of spectators and
riders alike.
The Erie railroad on the north, the
Belleville turnpike on the east, and the
Pennsylvania railroad and the Newark
turnpike fill in on the west.
1t is claimed that the track will be
within twelve minutes of the City Hall
in New York, and two miles from the
borders of Jersey City and Newark.
The population from which the races
will draw numbers more than 1000, 900
people in New York n New Jersey.
The grand-stand plans call for a seat
ing capacity of 100, 900, bleachers and
standees 100000. besides parking spaces
for 10000 cars. 1t is the intention of
the projectors to hold at least two or
three national meets a year. according
to the booklet, and at other times the
park may be rented for circus, base
ball, shows, fairs and other sporting
purposes.

SetOnin' S Nine VIII Rival
That of CIV FerYy's Time
Call for Cage Practise Is Made
for Next Monday-Will Open
Season March 3O-South Or
ange F. G. on Schedule.

Vice-President Rev. Mr.. John j. Clark
of Seton Hall College. who is athletic di.
rector Of that institution, has issued
orders for the Setonia baseball candi-
dates to report for first practise in the
new cage next Monday.
The Seton Hall athletic director is
enthusiastic over the prospects of a
winning team and declares that the ma
terlal on hand is better than it has
been at any time since the great team
of 1907, when Cy Ferry, of the Pirates,
pitched the Setonia Hall boys to VIC
tories over all of their big college rivals
and the team had a national reputa-
ton.
Mr.. Clark played second base and
captained the team that year and was
a player of no mean ability, N he has
long since discarded his baseball trg-
gerry and is now a seminarian.
Besides having a crackerjack lineur
the Setonians have the advantages Of a
new cage built under the new audito-
rum, In which the athletes will have
ample opportunity to get into the best
shape before the first outdoor practise
in preparation for the opening game
with Berkeley Hall, at South Orange
on March 80.
Since the schedule was published
some time ago in these columns three
new games have been added to the
list by Manager Walter Hennessy. A
game has been arranged with Dart
mouth at South Orange for April 16
University of Maryland for May 7, or
the Seton Hall grounds, and a contest
with South Orange Field Clnb for Max
30. on the field clubs diamond. Ac-
cording to Hennessy the schedule is the
hardest ever attempted by a team rep
%resenting the South Orange institution.
The schedule includes games with
Holy Cross, st. Johns, Villa Nova,
Manhattan, Niagara University, st.
B~onaventure and Bucknell. at South
Orange, and also requires games at
Villa Nova, Easton with Lafayette),
and Worcester with Holy CROSSE.

yesterday that no two or three teams
can get together and c~ountenance the
encroachment of a third team from a
class AA league on their territory
without the consent of the National
Commission.
This may or may not have been the
result of the report from Chicago, lack

in Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati and
Pittsburgh in the near future. The
