at it's own expense rather than run

A point which Is likely TO cause some

leagues wind up their campaigns. The

follows the American Association, and

1t was learned today that the reason
Newark's application for admittance
to the United States League was re-
jected by the magnates last night at a
meeting in New York lies in the fact
that those DESTROYS of getting the fran
chise had failed to procure their W
grounds. Why the rejection resulted
is explained fully by this statement of
n of the magnates:
1.-The proposition made by those wish
ing to secure a franchise for Newark
last night was turned down at that
meeting, because they had not secured
grounds in Newark. It is understood
that they had an option on Morris
Park, but it was not definite. Another
reason why Newark was not accepted
last night is that the capitalists look
ing for the Newark franchise are not
local men. They are New Workers.
1--WE would rather have men who are
citizens of Newark and who would
therefore, put their whole attention
into the matter. The names of those
who were out to put a team in Newark
sanno be mentioned, as we are pledged
TO secrecy, but they are wealthy New
Workers and had the money ready &c
buy the franchise last night.
There Is still a possibility that
Newark may be taken in, but it is no
likely. If Newark came in we woulo
have five Eastern cities and only three
Western cities. Newark is a good bal
town, however, and has the %advantag,
of being conveniently situated for al
of the other teams"

LARRY SUTTON GIVES HIM
HIGH-CLASS APPROVAL

"SWats." That's what they call him.
He halls from the big village at the
fork of the Missouri and Mississippi
rivers called st. Louis. "Swats' is his
baseball name and Harry Swacina is
his everyday name.
"Swats'' Is a pretty good sort of a
nickname for a baseball player to ac-
quire, according to the baseball fans
way of seeing things. It's full of color
and is as picturesque in the magma
ton of the baseball bug. as such SOU
briquets as "One-Round Hogan" and
Knockout Brown are to the boxing
enthusiasts.
The first thing the fans ask about a
recruit is: Can he hit Swats can. lie
banged the ball for .313 last year and
in previous years he hit even better.
In the National League, when he had a
try-out with PittsburE, he slugged his
way into fame by winning more than
n game,
'Swats'' is q fighter on the ball field
whose enthusiasm is of the contagious
kind, and he has the whole infield on
their toes all the time by his peppery
inv, stives. In the game he is a Wild
cat. off the diamond he is a perfect
gentleman.
He will be the heaviest hitting first
baseman the Newark Club eve boast
ed. He is a big, rangy swatter. who
takes a long, healthy wallop and hits
hard and often. Baseball men who
have con into contact with Joe Nc
Ginnity and George solomon since
Swacina was purchased are loud in
lauding The newcomer and have con-
graduated the local magnates on land
ing him.
Larry sutton. who engineered the
deal, says: Take 1t from he, If Brook
lyn needed a first baseman Newark
would eve have had a look-in for this
big fellow. Why, he is h best man /
came across all last season-and nerve!
He is chock full of the fighting spirit
that makes a player valuable to his
team. He will have the other inield-
ers with him fighting all the time for
every game he is in.
Eyes, he was with the Pittsburgh
club a few years ago when he came
out of the bushes and was turned back
for more seasoning, but he has i'm
proved wonderfully. BY the way, Jake
Daubert. the Brooklyn star, was with
Cleveland and failed to shine Good
players of the Daubert and Swacina
type are bound to land in the big show,
where they belong. Daubert has landed
and Swacina will also arrive in 1918,
surely. Here's a tip to scouts looking
for a crack first baseman: Watch
Swacina!"
That recommendation is enough to
make the most modest player blush, for
Larry is not in the habit of tiattering
young ballplayers.

Not only the three big minor leagues

every league embraced in organized

relations between the two big major
leagues and the minors are closer than
they have ever been.
About the only victory the majors
gained was that no minor league team
can sell a player during the season
excepting for immediate delivery. No
club-owner who is respectful of his
patronage will care to sell his t
player in the middle of a gruelling
race II lost him at once. Formerly
the mino leaguers, in order to get the
real worth of a player, had to adopt
such a course.
A major league manager who wanted
a player very much would buy him
before his rivals had a chance to put
in a draft. AS a result the majors
often paid higher prices THAI would
have otherwise been the case. The new
rule will do away with such fancy
prices as $22, 900 paid for Marty O'Toole
by Pittsburg.
Now that the draft price to be paid
to Glass "A League has been raised
to So, 800, the smaller magnates are
willing to take a chance and get a
fair remuneration for their stars. The
higher draft price will do away with
wholesale and wanton drafting in

Minor League wisdom.
At the same time the wisdom of the
minor leaguers is manifested in their
demand hat the majors be restricted
to drafting from the Class AA leagues

have closed. There will be some fancy
dickering the day before the Interna-
tional, the American Association and
Pacific Coast leagues close, for the
