# WAR STARTS
MAGNATES ARE
READY TOF|CHT
Comiskey Declares Owners viii
Oppose Adjustment of
Reserve Clause.
BY James ClarkSon.

~ HlCAGO, Oct. est is not only
down on the Mexican border
that the war clouds are form
ing. Believe us. from what we under
stand, the Baseball Players Frater-
nifty may toss a bomb into ORGANIZED
baseball during the next few weeks
that viii be the signal for bitter strife
between club owners and players. The
athletes are evidently much better or
ganized than the club owners and he
general public imagined
Just what the nature of their first
shot will be we have been unable to
learn. as their order is of the secret
variety, but from no less an authority
than JOHNNY Evers, manager of the
Chicago Cubs. we yesterday heard
that the athletes were holding back
something to spring after both the
major leagues have had their fall
meetings.
Thy seem bent on making one
strong demand" says Evers. "but
what it is don't know. You know
managers are not eligible to member
ship in the order. therefore | am not
posted on what this important ulti-
matum will be" concluded Evers.
Club Owners Will FIGHT.
One thing is positive, the club own
erS are not liable to recognize the de-
mand wherein the players ask for the
abolition of the reserve clause in an
contracts. In that respect the club
owners certainly have all the argu-
ments in their favor If a bali player
We're free to sign with any club that
he desired to go to after he had fin
ished the playing season with one
l,,l
last long.
AS Charles A. Comiskey put il:
"lf such We're the ease, YOU can bet
that I'd come mighty near winning
the pennant over on the South Side
every season"
Mr. Comiskey means that money,
and money alone, would win out in
baseball, New York and Chicago. the
big moneyed cities of the American
League, would so out every fan and
make immense offers to players of the
Speaker Cobb, Crawford. jackson and
Collins type. In a short time all Of
the stars of the American League
would be performing with either Chi
cago or New York.
A National League Ruling.
In the National League there is a
ruling to the effect that each PLAYER
must pay $50 n year for his PLAYING
clothes but IL is believed that the
National League magnates would
willingly ConCede that item to the
players.
President Ban Johnson, of the
American League, was not in the city
Yesterday and could not be seen.
Neither was President Murphy of the
cubs. President Comiskey was posi-
tive in his belief that the PLAYERS
would find fight on their hands
when they tried to put over the de-
mand relative TO the abolition OF the
reserve clause In all contracts

RINGSIDE NOTES

The Willie Ritchie-L Leach Cross fight
will not take place in New York to-
morrow night An injury to one of
Leach's ribs forced the dentist fighter
to have the bout postponed. November
10 has been set as the new date.
Boxers who clash in Athens on No
vember started training yesterday Kid
Young, who meets Kid Brown, in one
of the ten-round fights. took his first
real work out at local gymnasium. He
boxed three rounds with Frank Baker,
pulled the pullies and finished his train
ing grind by skipping the ropes for
fifteen minutes
Baker will meet Jack Payne in a ten
round go also. This scrap should be a
corSer, as it will bring together a clever
boxer and a slugger. Payne is working
out with Kid Brown.
Young Goldman, the Chattanooga ban
tamweight. who has fought around these
parts several times, is back in our midst
again. Goldman is anxious TO get on
with Kid Brown or any of the boys of
his weight. He may get a chance to
display his wares at the next Athens
show.
Danny Morgan wanted too much
money for Knockout Brown to box Will
lie Beecher. so the bout scheduled for
November has been called off by the
New York club.

Forward Pass Is Overrated
Not Practical, Says Expert

rush line and shoot the ball 10 him
after the scrimmage. He grabs il on
the run and slams down the field to
the enemy's goal posts amid the
plaudits of the assembled sons of the
Alma Mater.
There are two ways of achieving
this desired end. Or, rather, there are
two ends to every pass, the sending
and the receiving
In this case the sending end is as
simple as usual. One of the backs,
the quarter. shoots the ball But the
miX-up in the forward pass comes in
on the receiving end.
If you can see one of your brave
comrades in a clear spot about IS
yards beyond, jumping up and down
with eagerness to grab the ball, it is
comparatively simple matter Some
of the coaches favor this system
that is, TO let the passer look over the
adjacent mess and pick out a good
spot and a good mantto shoot the bail
to.
The Garfield Pass.
Then there is another system which
also has its adherents. 1t might be
called the Garfield or Monte Carlo
pass. On a certain signal for the
pass the quarter shoots the ball to a
designated spot, it being the mission
of one or more of his fellow gladia-
tors to be there when it arrives. for
If it touches the ground the stuff is
off
When this device works at all it
works beautifully. 1t is faster and
more bewildering system. but we
would like to see anybody promise to
be at any given spot at fixed time
on any football field that we have
lamped. This uncertainty OF human
life and purpose gives a keen zest to
this play. When the ball is passed
you never can tell which goal it will
start for when 1t is caught. 1t de-
Ponds entirely on who happens TO
grab It.

SPORTING COMMENT

It's an open question. because
there is grounded belief
that most fighters would rather
take a chance with wild swing
er who has little sense of direc-
ton than with a man who is ac-
curate to a degree of deadliness
with his left hand. So we'n have
to score another victory for the
left-hander who knows how TO
land.
- ONE of tho fight fans are in
Clined to the belief that Ad
Wolgast didn't hurt himself as
badly as the reports say and that
he simply is lodging the Chicago
boy, Nothing doing with that kind
OF stuff, Wolgast. no matter what
his other faults may be. never
can be accused of cowardice, for
he has battled the very toughest
OF the tough and always was
ready for any of them. big or lit
tie. He may not be as good now
as he once was. but that isn't GO
ing TO affect his courage any. and
that always was of the highest
type-not the kind. either, that
submits blindly to the terrible
lacing without complaint. but the
sort that compels honest admira-
ton by taking it's possessor into
the hardest of mills with a smile
or confidence on his face.

Baltimore Man to

As result of having defeated Amile

Gayety Theater, last night. Al Maupas,
the Baltimorean. will tackle Joe Turner
tomorrow evening. This match is ex-
pected to run longer and faster than
the Maupas-Krosso bout. as the latter
knows little of the catch-as-catch-can
style Of wrestling. and Maupas looked
like a winner at all times
But fourteen minutes were required
for Maupas to get his first fall. 1t COM
ing as a result of a double-arm lock
hold. The second fall came after two
minutes, and was easy for Maupas
Maupaus has improved wonderfully
since his last appearance here. as he
has developed remarkable speed and
clever leg work. and will certainly make
a great showing against Joe Turner

MAY CALL ON FULTZ
TO PRESENT CLAIMS
Pitcher Harmon Wants Club to
Satisfy Players Through
Baseball Fraternity.

ST. LOUIS, April s.-Pitcher Bot
Harmon. local representative of the
Baseball Players Fraternity, may ap-
peal to Dave Fultz to settle certain
claims which the Cardinal players have
presented against the club. The minia-
ture row grew out Of the settlement OF
training trip expenses. 70
1t II q club rule that all players who
report to st. Louis shall receive free
transportation from that place to the
training camp. Players who can save
money by going direct from their homes
to the training camp are ordered to do
30 and the club has made a practice OF
rsfunding the difference between wha,
the player paid from his home to the
camp and the toll between st. Louis
and Columbus. Ga
However, there's a wrangle on, Mike
Mowrey lives in Baltimore, for instance.
and his fare to Columbus amounted to
$27N. The fare from st. Louis to
Columbus. such as the club paid for
Harmon and Hauser, Is $2616. Now
Mowrey demands S26.16. or the exact
fare from st. Louis to Columbus. while
'he Sioo - iiSiieu " pay ohy Tie
difference, $LA. Mowrey argues that
he should be allowed as much as Har-
mon receives.
The club on the other hand contends
that II could have forced Mowrey to
report at st. Louis at his own expense.
and the fare from Baltimore to St.
:, louis would have amounted to more
than what Mike paid for riding from
Baltimore to Columbus. The club off,
cials. therefore argue that they saved
Mike money by letting him report d.
rect Mike, on the other hand. cannot
reason out why Harmon should get
free transportation while he must pay
his way.
