been Catholic University's greatest
rival in foot ball. and every effort is
going to be put forth to have the team

Coach McDevitt is going to give the

BY J. ED GRILLO.

President Dave Fultz of the Base Ball
Players Protective Association does not
appear to be familiar with the facts OF
two cases of injustice which he points out
to show how the players are getting the
worst of it,
Jack knight and Jim Delehanty are the
two players picked out having. suffered
by reason of the high-handed methods of
the magnates, and yet when the facts of
the two cases mentioned are considered
it would seem that neither knight nor
Delehanty has the slightest reason for
protest.
knight came to Washington under an
o.d New York contract which called for
a salary of s4,oOo. He did not report
until few days before the season opened.
and was not in condition to do himself
justice. Griffith was trying to build up
team of youngsters. most of whom We're
not drawing fancy salaries. He considered
it an injustice to these players to allow
knight. a high-salaried man, to sit on
the bench, for he was unable to play.
and after carrying him along for couple
of months sold him 10 the Jersey City
club, which. of course, cut knights SAL
ary. Knight was himself responsible for
this state of affairs. Had he taken any
interest in his work he might have filled
a position regularly on the team, and
continued in major league base ball, draw
ing as much salary, If not more than he
signed for with New York.
In his efforts to arouse sympathy for
Jim Delehanty FultZ makes another mess
because he does not adhere to the facts
of the case.
Delehanty signed hirty-five-hundred-
dollar contract with the Detroit club. and
in addition was promised five-hundred,
dollar bonus providing he played good
ball The club was to be the judge OF
the value of his services. When released
he was paid the portion of the bonus
that was due on the date he left, figured
on the basis OF $500 for the season.
Delehanty was given his unconditional
release which made it possible for him
10 sign where he pleased and to the best
advantage He went 10 Minneapolis.
where he received $500 for signing his
contract and at the end of the assocla-
ton season got another 500 as his share
of the gate receipts of the post-season
series between Denver and Minneapolis.
incidentally, Delehanty has an agreement
TO receive half of any purchase or draIt
money that may come to the club should
any major league club want TO secure
him In view of the fact that his physi-
cal condition is such that he can no long
er be numbered among the valuable play
ers in the game his treatment by the
magnates seems to be decidedly fair.
In no other walk of life is treatment
of this kind meted out TO an Individual
who is discharged because he fails to
deliver the goods, and yet Fultz Woulo
make il appear that ball players are not
getting what is coming 10 them from the
club owners.

hardly to be fairly proved the hrst year

of his regime with the Cubs. Evers Is
taking a team which has been on the
down grade for the past two or three
seasons, and it will be further weakened
if Tinker is allowed to go to Cincinnati.
Therefore Evers is not to be expected to
do as we'll as did Chance during the
final year of his administration. because
on the face of it the team does not ap-
pear to be as strong as 1t was 1t is up
to Evers to build up new team. and
no manager. be he ever so capable, has
any assurance of doing that in few
years.
Unless deal can be framed up where
by the Cubs can get Hauser OF st. Louis
there is little or no chance of Tinker
going to Cincinnati The scheme now is
to trade Tinker to the Reds in exchange
for Phelan. Grant and Mike Mitchell and
then give Phelan and Grant to the car
dinals for Hauser. If this swap can be
made the Cubs will be benefited. for in
Hauser they would have one of the best
shortstops in the game, and young
man. too. while the retention of Mitchell
would give them really wonderful out
fielder a player who handles balls in the
sun fields as if there was cloudy sky.
But just where st. Louis would be bene-
flied is hard to see. Neither Grant nor
Phelan is as capable as Hauser at
shortheld, and, while the pair might add
more strength to the Cardinals in the
aggregate, yet Hauser would be sure to
be missed.
National League critics insist that If
Bresnahan is secured by Pittsburgh there
is not a chance for any of the other
teams in that league to beat the Pirates
to the wire. Even before Bresnahan
name was mentioned In connection with
the Pittsburgh team 1T was generally
conceded that in the next campaign the
Pirates would be the favorites. Bresna-
hans acquisition would give the team a
great catcher and a clever man to handle
the corps of young pitchers that
Dreyfus. Clarke & Co. can boast OF.
Bresnahan did not appear in many games
last season for the reason that he found
it necessary to develop a young catcher.
Sooner or later. he realized. his catch
ing days would be over, and he felt that
unless he gave his young catchers a
chance he would be weak in that depart
ment.
But there is no doubt that if Bresna-
han goes to Pittsburgh as a catcher, he
will deliver the goods, for he would get
work enough to keep himself in good
condition
At least four of the National League
teams will go to the barrier next spring
with new managers at their heads. 1t
is questionable whether ever before in
the history of the old league SO many
changes have been made in the manage
ment of its teams.
Johnny Evers will replace Frank
Chance at Chicago. Miller Huggins has
Roger Bresnahans place in st. Louis.
George Stallings has been recalled from
Buffalo to fill the shoes which tommy
King wore for single year at Boston.
Hank O'Day resigned when he realized
that there was no chance for him to con-
tinue at Cincinnati. and Joe Tinker is
being groomed for his position. though
the deal with Chicago has not yet been
completed.

Large changes are forecasted In Ma

Most of these changes. it Is said, have

is some achievement. His next start was
a memorable to q fifteen-inning draw
with Jimmy Scott. This game put Scott
on the hummer. and he did not pitch
any good ball after it.
During the latter part of the season
Baum pitched like a real hurler. He is
hurting fairly well for one operating with
a seventh-place club. But then the club
was going good under George Stovall at
that time The black mark came at the
hands of the White Sox. because Ed
Walsh got revenge on Baum for beating
him earlier in the season by bianking
the Browns.
With one year of experience In the
majors Baumbardner should be one of
the Brownie mainstays on the firing line
in 1913. His experience is sure to help
and If he is not wonder in the majors
next season many able base ball au-
thorities will lose their guess.
He worked In 213 innings for the
Browns and gave 2Oi bingles. less than
one per game. Baum came heralded as
a great strike-out artist, but did not live
up TO this, tanning only 96. while 20 were
given bases on balls. In the 213 innings
he worked just 81 runs were scored off
him, which shows that he pitched good
ball. even though he lost more than he
won.

If the old theory is true that a good
ball club does as we'll on the road as 1t
does at home. then the Reds are not a
good ball club. If O'Day's men had done
anywhere near as well on foreign fields
as they did on their own lot they would
have been in the fight for the flag right
along. and would have finished at least as
high as second place. with a good chance
for the pennant. They Won three-fifths
of their games played at Redland Field,
capturing the home series from every
club in the league except New York and
Philadelphia. But their work on the road
was go poor that they did not take the
majority of their games in any city ex-

Pennsylvania's Wonderful Reversal.


No college man will deny that the great
est brace any eleven ever made In q
championship game was that by which
the University of Pennsylvania defeated
Michigan a week ago by the score OF
27-2l There have been many historic
reversals in foot ball history. but none
against such odds and with such spec
tacular climax as this.
Previous to this game whenever Penn
sylvania coaches wanted to rally their
team they called upon the men to re-
member the brace their 1902 eleven made
In the Thanksgiving day game with Cor
nell. That year Cornell led at the end
Of the first half by a score of 11-0, and
1t looked as though Pennsylvania would
be beaten as badly AS the year before

Pennsylvania as completely as Pennsyl-
vania reversed matters In the second

another early in the fourth. Michigan

HOPPE LEADS FIELD
Defeated Only Once in First
Week of Billiard Tourney.
YAMADA HIS CONQUEROR
Jap and Youthful American May
Meet in Deciding Match
for the Title.
STANDING OF THE
BILLIARD PLAYERS

NEW. YORK, November 1S.-By his re-
sourcefulness in every department of the
art or making caroms Willie Hoppe
stands as the leader at the beginning Of
the closing matches which will decide the
1872 balk-line billiard championship of
the world. During thhe last week on the
table in the belvedere on the roof Of
the Hotel Astor, the youthful American
lost only one game out of FIVE. His
defeat was at the hands of Kodji va
mada. the japanese, who surprised Hoppe
seemingly because the latter held him too
cheaply.
In his other competition, Hoppe dis
played the ability to make the runs when
he needed them. This was shown In his
match against AL Taylor, when Hoppe
trailing most of the way. finished with
clusters of 50. 3s and 81 on his last three
turns at the table. The error of making
belated start against the oriental un-
questionably cost Hoppe an unbroken
line of victories. Altogether Hoppe has
counted total of 2,497 points in 14s in
nings and holds the highest grand aver
age of the group.
Slosson Is Second.
George Slosson stands next to Hoppe
in the figures, although he is tied with
Yamada and Ora Morniagstar for second
place. The veteran has performed ably
counting 2,2OS points in 153 innings. There
are many who believe that Slosson may
tie with Hoppe for the title. He has
only Yamada and Harry Cline to meet
and is slated to engage the japanese this
evening.
Morningstar has welded his cue in able
fashion, and as his total of points is 1881
for 163 turns at the table. he falls into
weeks play. Like Slosson, it has not al
ways been possible for Morningstar to
tune his stroke TO the worries at the be-
ginning of the matches, and this cost the
victory in his session with the japanese
Saturday and also the game to Cline.
Morningstar will meet Taylor this after
noon and has yet to meet Hoppe.
Jap Comes Back.
The Japanese has made wonderful re-
covery from the form that he displayed
in his opening game. He lost to Dema-
rest and Sutton by wide margins, but has
defeated Hoppe. Morningstar and Cline
He has compiled 2.O67 points in 154 in
nings. and with Slosson and Taylor to
meet is now regarded as unusually strong
in his position of at least being a close
second to Hoppe.
Cline, Demarest. Sutton and Taylor
have been disappointing. The latter,
while an able performer, appears hardly
up to the class of the others. Cline has
been beset with his old nervousness. SUIT
ton is Ill and Demarest still lacks the
skill to put the runs solidly together
The deciding match of rhe tournament
will be played in the grand ballroom OF
the Hotel ,Astor Wednesday night. The
schedule for the matches today brings
Demarest against Cline and Morningstar
against Taylor at the matinee sessions

all Of them were 90 scores. Not since
