LARRY LUO|E SAYS
He IS PULLING FOR
MAPS NEW MANAGER
Former Cleveland Leader
Shows Great Qualities
as Man.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 2.-"I want
to see the Maps succeed under Harry
Davis. In fact. nothing would please me
more than to see Davis win the pen
nant his first year as a big league man.
ager. l will give my all to bring about
this result"
The speaker was none other than Ma
poleon Lajoie, one of the greatest ball
players Of all time; one who Is even
bigger and greater as a man than as
a player. Few and far between are the
stars of the type OF Napoleon Lajoie
who having managed a major league
club, can gracefully retire to the ranks
and then put forth efforts in keeping
with those while he was manager to
bring about the success of new leader
1t has ever been thus with Larry,
however. Back in 1909. when La3oie re-
tired as leader of the Maps and Jll
man said he wished Jim we'll as his
successor, and Larry meant every word
he said Again in 1910 when Mcguire was
at the head of the Cleveland club nc
player tried harder or more earnestly
than Larry.
With George Stovall as boss of the
Maps the past season, the same con-
ditions prevailed as far as Larry is
concerned. He was in every game that
It was possible for him to play, and
was hustling for Brother George every
minute OF the time. Had Dame For
tune smiled on Stovall and had he pilot
ed the Maps home in front none would
have rejoiced more than Larry.

TWO BIG LEAGUES
EQUAL IN WONDERS
Law of Averages Apportons Strength of Majors Giving
Each Same Number of Stars and Playing Strength
in Last Five Years.

Major league baseball is carefully ad-
iusted by the law Of averages. The
American League has a big crop Of
star players one season and the next
season the balance is ith the National.
but averaged for a number Of years
the stars are equally distributed.
Each league draws it's players from
the same scurce-the minors and COL
leges. The star scouts of one league
are Iured away by the other, yet there
Is no change IN the ci!iber of players
supplied.
A club Of one league often gets the
Jump for season or two and gathers
in players for n star team. but 1t Is
baseball history that a club of the other
league comes through the same way
a year or two later.
The Cubs Of i907-os were the greatest
team, of their time. Just as the Athletics
OF l!In-ll are the greatest team of their
time.
The star players Of both leagues res
cruited In the past Ave years are even
in number The American League has
gathered in twenty-six gfeat stars. and
the National League t~enty-seVen stars
The big stars Of the past five years are:

II is expected. viii be decided at the
meeting Of the league which is schedL
nled for the day after tomorrow in New
York. The executive is most enthusiasts
tic over the outlook, and intimates
strongly that offers to invade two Ma
tional League ongholds-Cincinnati
and Pittsburg-may be accepted before
the roster OF teams Is completed.
Expect Very Little.
The general impression throughout
the baseball world Is that there will be
little or nothing to the report on the
ticket scandal at the worlds series
when the national commission meet
tomorrow.
So far as can be learned Ban johnson
failed to furnish the evidence by which
ne expected to convict the New York
Giants management, so no excitement
Is likely to be forthcoming
The revised code on drafting, which
was adopted at the convention of the
minor leagues in Texas last month, will
probably be approved by the national
commission as 1t has been conceded for
some time that the present system is
unfair to the organizations outside tho
majors.
According to President Ed Barrow
Of the International League, the values
follows:
Baltimore. $3.50. 900 Providence. 1000
rochester. 10000 Montreal. -. 7O,OOj
Bunalo. 10000 Jersey City. 6O,OoO

The Washington times., 1912-01-02

Buffalo. in the International League.
Is the latest club to become anxious to
obtain the services of Kid Elberfeld.
George Stallings, the Buffalo manager,
has been securing the woods for an ad-
ditional player for his infield and he
figures that Elberfeld is just the one to
add the necessary pep to his outfit.
As yet Stallings has made no direct
offer, but the Buffalo people declare
they will give as much as any other
club.
That Elberfeld would welcome a
change to Buffalo Is doubted by many
who know the player best. When Bal
timore was about to close a deal for
the Kid he wired Jack Dunn that his
legs were bad, and the negotiations
closed there.
