As far as Michigan teams games
were concerned, the results OF Sat-
urday we're most satisfactory to foot
ball fans of Detroit.
Michigan scored most decisive
victory over Syracuse. Score, 1871.
Michigan Agricultural college beat
Buchtel down in big league fashion,
41-O. Central high school cinched
its right to battle Grand Rapids
high here in two weeks. for the
championship of the state by beat
ing Muskegon, 22-O.
But the results Of games on which
the position OF these three teams
rest were not SATISFACTORY.
Vanderbilt, which Michigan de-
feated, 33 to 2, lost to virginia,
$40. which indicates that the Com
modores are far from the highest
class in the south. which they were
supposed to he.
Cornell, which Michigan plays at
Ithaca. Saturday, lost TO Harvard,

CONTRACTS SENT TO17
MEMPHIS BALL PLAYERS

MEMPHIS. TENN, Jan. 30.-Con-
tracts have been sent out to seventeen
prospective members of the 1913 Tur-
tie team by Manager Bernhard This
was done in accordance with a new
ruling enacted by the national asso-
citation last fall, which requires that
contracts be forwarded to players by
February 1 instead of March /, as has
been the custom for some several
years. There are p players on the To-
cal roster, but four of this number have
already agreed to terms. They are
Pitchers Needles, Freeman, Schneiberg
and Merritt
Players to whom the required papers
were sent are: Pitchers Ferguson, Mer-
ritt, Kissinger. Parsons, Newton, Way
mack and Green, Intielders Abstein
MOulton. Oriet, Bales and NetzeI, Out
tielders SchWeitzer, McCrone, Baerwald

member of the scrappy Vernon
club.
Bair will occupy the rifle pit in q
Vernon uniform likewise, going to
the coast town in a deal whereby
Nashville secures a former South
ern league star, Roy Castleton.
Roy has been a great gun in CAL
itornia, but last year found him
slowing up and it was his belief
that a change of scenery would do
him lots OF good, and while this
brilliant idea was finding lodg-
ment in his brain, his boss con-
ceived the clever stunt of dumping
friend Roy right down in the Vol
unteers' ball park
But Esquire Hirsig is a pretty
fair sort of trader himself and the
wicked old man fixed it up so the
Union Pacific railroad will arrange
to haul Mr.. Bair all the way to
Vernon whenever he cares to go.
The only possible way that the
Vernon club can come out at the
long end of this deal is for Castle
ton to fall off the train and die on
the desert sands OF thirst before he
reaches Nashville, for T. Bair
achieved the splendid feat of losing
2s Count 'ern) games last season.
and that is a difficult record to tie.

S. v. D. AND COMPANY C
ARE BOTH EASY WINNERS

Two games were played in the Fulton
Basket Ball league at the Armory court
last night S. V. ID. defeated Company
H, % to s, and Company C downed the
Baracas, SO to 6.
Another double bill will be played to-
night, the S. V. ID. team meeting the
Baracas. The other game will be be-
tween the Agogas and Y. NJ. c. A.
The S. V. d. team won its seventh
straight victory last night, when it de
feated Company II. Company Fl had
many shots, but most of them did not
count, field goal and one foul goal
being secured in the first half, and
three fields goals and two foul goals in
the second half
Company c scored SO points against
the Baracas last night, setting a rec
ord for the season in the Fulton league
Company Cs playing was by far the
best seen in the Fulton league this year
Team work was there by the bushel

tire team was the prettiest ever pulled
off in this league.

to decorate the grandstand in his
store clothes and still be able to
give the countersign at the paying
tellers window when he appeared
for his monthly stipend.
But this season-will be THIS
season and the hospital corps will
be handed one below the belt inso-
far as being kept on the pay roll
while occupying a cot in the in
jured ward is concerned.
All contracts sent out to future
Volunteers will contain the dis
ability clause. which only allows
the wounded hero one months full
pay, after which he becomes auto
matically suspended. President
Hirsig thinks that this plan will
safeguard the club against handing
full salary. as per contract, to any
player who might have the misfor-
tune to be injured early in the race.
For the first two weeks after in
jury the player is to receive full
salary for the second two weeks
half salary and after that he will
be placed on the suspension list
1t Is not thought that this clause
will arouse any great protest from
players nor is it considered in the
light of hardship upon them, for
the club will take care Of all the
injured for a period of 80 days, and
if he doesn't join the convalescents
within that time 1t isn't very likely
that he will be OF much use to the
club for the remainder of the sea-
son.

Hsig After Rag Pays $500 Apiece for PayeBoh Dead
NASHVILLE BALL CLUB PICKS UP SOME VETERANS

NJ ASHVILLE. TENN, Jan 80.
" Pitcher Doc Moskiman, who
last season smashed all
long-distance jumping records by
leaping back among the outlaws on
the coast, from whence he had early
in the season been secured by
Louisville, will be among the gun
nerS employed by Manager
Schwartz this season. He has been
sold to Nashville by Louisville, to-
gether with Catcher Bill Ludwig.
Moskiman is rated as a high
class finger, although his record
with Louisville was not so good.
He won five games and had the
short end of six. He has, 1t is
claimed, good change OF pace and
sweeping curves, and President Hir-
sig believes that he has made ten
strike.
The new owners of the Louis
vile club have decided that the
team needs new blood from start to
finish and are disposing Of all the
players on the clubs reserve list
and accepting most any old price
offered. Nashville was offered
Moskiman for 5000 and choice of
the three catchers, selecting Lud-
wig, for which it was necessary to
kick in with $500 more
Ludwig is an old-timer in the
Southern, having worked behind
the bat for both Memphis and Mo-
bile. His noodle is full of good,
gray matter. but his feet are equal
ly as full of sinkers, so that his
time for a circuit of the bases Is
about So minutes. That is, If the
grounds are not wet.
Never likewise, has Bill ever
crowded Hans Wagner for premier
batting honors, but his experience
will be much in his favor and may
be he may even exceed his great
clouting record last season of .167.

lately secretary of the Pittsburg
Pirates, as president of their re-
spective clubs is out. Locke is will
ing to let his manager do the man
aging. Charlie Doom, who has been
used to working for Horace Fogel
these several years past. received
letter from one of his players the
other day. He turned 1t over to
Locke, the new president of the
Phillies.
Whats it all about?" asked
Locke.
Doom told him.
"Oh. that's something for you to
worry about" said Locke. You're
manager of the club. You'll have to
deal with the players yourself"
Locke, of course, is a successful
baseball executive. He has been
sought by several owners. But until
he jumped into the Philadelphia job
as a part owner himself, none of
them would let him in on terms
satisfactory to himself, so he stay
ed out. They could not understand.
probably, how a man could be a
successful executive without boss
