Thirteen men were entered In the
Gate City Gun club shoot for the club
medal Sunday. VIM Mullikin won
the tournament, breaking % out of %
clay birds. Schweete was second with

fey tied for third with 30 each. The
previous shoots for the medal were
won by Henry Kesselring and Phil
CHASER John Borney of Schenectady,
N. Y, formerly of this city was a
guest of the club. His score was
fourth. Mr.. Borney was an enthusiast

residence here and he displayed some
of his old-time form yesterday. Other
scores in the medal shoot were: b.

Rabe, IL; Henry Kesselring, IS; Ed.
Schulz, 13; T. H. R. Rollins, Is; and

Griffey was hight with a score of %.
The hitting of the boss yesterday
was something that sent the bugs in
to the seventh heaven of delight.
Two singles, double and four base

out of four trips to the platter.
In five innings that were scored,
the Indians secured nineteen hits for
total of thirty-four bases, which to
our mind is indicative of some clout-
ing of the pellet
The Chinks are next on the list,
coming here next Saturday with fix

dams An enviable record has been
left behind these ball tossers from
Hawaii and the local club is looking
forward to a hard game. A big bunch
of fans should be there to help them
out in the pinches.
Siler, infielder and Spencer, pitch
er, were handed blue tickets by the
boss today. Siler could not show any
thing like the form displayed by Nc
Gaffigan and so drew the rollers.
Spencer, while likely looking pitch

good job before long.

NATIONAL COMMISSION
FOR UNIFORM CONTRACTS

CINCINNATI. o.. Jan u.-ln re-
yersing decision Of the Nationai
Hoard OF Minor Leagues here yester-
day. the National Baseball Commits
sion gave notice that at its annual
meeting in Chicago next Thursday 1t
would advocate the adoption OF a
uniform contract for both major ana
minor leagues.
The case yesterday was an appeal
by Player Manning from a decision OF
the national board. The latter had
refused his claim for salary against
the York. Pa, club, of the Tri-State
League. from June to the end of the
Tri-State season.
Manning was injured in a cham
pionship game, and, after coming
from the hospital, was suspended by
the York club for disability. stipu-
lation in his contract held that the
club was only bound to pay him for
pne month following his release from
the hospital. The commission held
that in case the club did not release
the player outright at the expiration
Of a month it would be forced to pay
him the salary, as it was against the
letter and spirit of the national agree
ment to suspend a player for disable
ity when that disability was sustained
on the ball field. Player Manning was
declared free agent unless the York
club pays the player the demands
asked for within ten days.

the plan Of a minor league club to
have one good catcher and a second
string man of ordinary calibre with
some seml-pro as an emergency man

The other seven men will be pitch
ers, which means that only one of
the three youngsters, Setback, Kun

and Lee are regarded as regulars.
Therefore II the Newark Club lands
one of the two big league pitchers

for any of the three young fingers
TO land a berth unless by some
chance one of them shows phenome-
nal form.
Manager Smith seems to be OF the
opinion that Setback is the youngsteT
who will make good. But he will

PRINCE GASKELL WILLING
TO SERVE UNDER SMITH
WithdrawS Statement Made Last Fall, That
He'd Quit Rather Than Play in Newark
Under Old Conditions.

Prince Gaskell is willing to be a
meek little Tiger when the 1913 team
goes to the barrier. The Shreveporter
who left last fall vowing that he
would not return to Newark has
changed his mind since Harry Smith
assumed the managerial sceptre. and
is ready to ignite the league with his
speed during the coming season.
If Gaskell has half so much smoke
as he predicts he VIII have IN letter
which is glowing with real enthusi-
asm, the former Scranton singer is
likely to be accused of incendiarism
for setting the old International
League on fire.
Prince did not have a successful
season last year, but he has the
ability to make winning pitcher for
this league, and with proper handling
should be a real star
The contract for the 1913 uniforms
to be worn by the Tigers was award
ed yesterday. Work will be started
Immediately at costuming the Tigers
for the coming campaign.
There will be no opening day pa
rade this year. A flag raising viii be
the main event of the ceremony.
When the proper time comes for
the Tiger troops or troupe to depioy
and prepare for active work in the
International League campaign after
the spring training ceremonies, the
club roster win contain just nine
teen names. Whether or not some of
the ambitious youngsters now on the
list of recruits win be able to in
scribe their cognomens on the honor
scroll after the vital test at Savan-
nah remains to be seen.
1t has been decided definitely, how
ever, that nineteen men, including
Manager Harry Smith, will be the
largest number carried at any time
during the season. This is necessary
in order to pay the men the salaries

A writer OF the st. Louis Times

According to Secretary Heydler's
records. 2s3 players took part in Ma

conservative average of salary for

it is nearly $4,000. But, taking the
