Manager Callahan
One Man Who Takes
Stock in Rumors

CHICAGO Sept. g7.--Jimmy Callahan.
the interesting and popular manager OF
the White Sox, says that a manager
bumps into many hard knocks during a
season, but one Of the worst bumps IL
"old Man Rumor." Here is what tho
leader of the Chicago club has to say
about this old man;
'old Man Rumor stalks up the alley
and attacks you unawares." continued
Cal. For instance, heard the papers
printed the alleged fact that we had
asked waivers on Larry Chappell. Now.
as a matter OF fact. we never had any
idea along that line, and am highly
satisfied that Chappell Is a great young
ball player
DO you know that Chappell has had
a bad leg, yet he haa been In there every
day7 He came into the league under
distressing circumstance. He was hailed
as the great 'slS.OOO wonder and he has
been trying to live up to that reputation
ever since.
II may imagine II, but Il seems to me
every time he comes to the plate the op-
posing pitchers put on another pound of
steam. I can Just hear the pitcher say
ing TO himself: Here's where show up
that expensive guy This may be
imagination. but I would take an oath
that II looks that way.
And, speaking OF dissensIon, the team
that does not fight itself is too Indifferent
to succeed. You can get 'dissension'
story in our clubhouse every evening, but
II wouldn't pan out the next day I like
to have the boys criucise each other's
work. for II tends to keep them on their
toes.
"Stories have been printed to the effect
that Hal Chase would lay down on us,
and ] want TO say that Chase has been
playing first base for the last two weeks
simply on his nerve. He hurt his ankle
In Bermuda this spring ana II hasn't
boen right since.
Chase might retire from the line w
for good cause, but he says some OF the
scribes In the east would print: Chase
Ia laying down on the sox.' So he sarneIy

Give the team which finishes second and
the team which finishes third a limit OF
twenty-seven players. The fourth and
fifth place clubs should have the privi-
lege OF putting thirty on their reserve,
while the sixth. seventh and eighth place
clubs should be privileged TO retain each
year thirty-five players.
This would give the losers a larger
squad 20 pick from, II would prevent
MrGraw and the other leaders from pay
ing reckless and insane prices. 1t would
readjust the game, balance the league
and distribute the pennants Now this
idea may listen queer Just at present
but wait and see what happens.
''I'll guarantee you one thing: II the
Browns ever win a pennant II they ever
get up near the top, they will stay there
This for the simple reason that we will
have the money 10 Outbid other clubs
We will get first crack at the talent and
will skim the cream from the crop every
season can't understand why a man,
ager capable enough 10 win a pennant
and probably backed up financially IN
securing new material ever should be
dethroned. II he spends the money he
should get the pick Of the country each
year and remain at the top once he
reaches there.
However. this conditions Is unfair e

Hedges Has a Plan
to Give Weaklings
Chance to Even Up

ST. LOUIS. Sept. H.-It has come at
last-handicap base ball advocated byI
a magnate. r. L. Hedges, president Of
the Browns, has a proposition to handi-
cap the major league clubs 80 as 20 in
sure greater success for the weakllngs.
Hedges plan seems to be a logical one
for handicapping the leaders and prevent
ing them from grabbing all the base ball
plums In the way OF prospective big
league stars
Under the present system in the major
leagues it's extremely hard for tail-end
clubs to edge into the krst division" "
said Mr.. Hedges. THE winning clubs
make big money, and for that reason
they pay big money for talent. They
sometimes pay fabulous and senseless
prices for promising men. The owner OF
losing club would go bankrupt trying 10
compete against the winners figuring
that few OF the high-priced individuals
would fail To deliver.
Now what I'm driving at is this,
Wen take the case OF the Giants. They
are a winner this year, Wen say. Nc
Graw has a team OF comparative young
sters. Yet he may have a weak link In
the chain. 30 he goes forth into the
market and offers $1,000 for a class ID
league player OF promise. He gets him.
puts him on the bench and in two years
this player bobs up a star. McGraw.

for next season. will outbid his rivals and
buy ten or fifteen players. He takes
many promising men who are Of no use
10 him. but who would help a second d.

financial fortficaton TO compete with

Fight for ChnmDion.hip


For the championship of Council Bluffs
the Council Bluffs Merchants will fight
this afternoon. According to the record
made by the different Council Bluffs
squads, the Merchants are by far the
best bet, and 1t is beyond conception why
these two games are necessary. The fans
in the village across the waves wouldn't
be satisfied unless the different Council
Bluffs teams were given a chance to DEM
onstrate their ability, consequently Man
aser Grove is willing to take a shot, win
or lose. The first game will be played
with the Council Bluffs De Vol Victors
ana the second row viii be fought with
the Council Bluffs Stolz. II these two
teams use their regular lineups they won't
have loOkin with the Merchants, but II
they pad different story might be the
outcome. Probst and Hansen viii do the

two teams are undecided as to who will

FINISHING WITH DUAL BOUTS
Ancient order of United wOrINmen
Team VIII Finish Summers
Activities with Two Games
at Fort Omaha.
By FRANK QUIGLEY.

Today is the time set aside by the
local schedule makers to ring out the
base ball season OF 1913. Fans will have
to kiss the old season on the chewers
and bid It au revolr for approximately
six months. They have had a very sue
cessfm season from every standpoint
and apparently everybody in this neck
Of the woods is satisfied with the ar
tcle of base ball dshed up by the local
base ball manipulators, The different
squads are overly pleased with the show
ing they registered and the only thing
they have to regret IL that the season
is practically over However few
more tussles will probably be ,ierked off
by the dudes that are inoculated with
the base ball fever so badly that they
don't know when to shut off the steam
AS far as the big children are concerned
today will be their last appearance on
the turf.
Play n DOubIe-Decker.
At beautiful Fort Omaha this after
noon the Ancient Order of United Work
men team will shut the doors by partlci-
rating in a double-decker. They have
chalked up q remarkable record this
season and 1t Is their intention to COZ,
these two scrambles If there is any way
possible to ''doer." BY the way, the
have already snagged the amateur cham
pionship of this burg and II they garner
these two jamborees they can claim the
championship of the three cities. The
Council Bluffs Merchants, who at the
present writing are leading the league
by a small margin, we're given a good
walloping by the Ancient Order o.
United Workmen brigade a few weeks
ago. The score at the end OF the final
chapter was Is to 8. The initial mix
OF the aforementioned double bill will
be played with the South Omaha Sham.
rocks and the finisher will be put or
by the Townsends. Undoubtedly these
two debates will be corkers and the
hot fans should trot out to the fort
this afternoon If they want to see some
real classy base ball tossed out by the
best local talent available. The last
struggle between the Gunners and the
Lodgeites resulted in a victory for the
Townsends, as a consequence the Ancient
Order Of United Workmen boys are
pining for revenge, and It is a lead
pipe that they will exert all their en-
ergy to ice this row.
