L|MPERT HIGH FOR
SPRAGUE Primers
Veteran Headpin Bowlers Pro-
dnce Three Star Watchf0b
Winners.
PETER HUFF OFF FORM

IL was case of ambition unrealized
with the Sprague bowlers last night
in the Star headpin tournament.
They got together ten bowlers who
had won watch-fobs last season,
formed them into two teams and sent
them after the big team prizes offered
by the Star The teams didn't make
good. though they did slip into third
and fourth places, respectively, with
marks of 443 and Ais The first team
prize is $50, the second $25 and the
third $15. so the total of AS IS really
inside the money. To all wise head
pin bowlers, however, it will not be
necessary to impart the information
that before the end of the season this
total won't be anywhere near in the
running.
Pete Huff, who got a tally of 300
at the regulation game not long since,
was the centre of attraction last
night, but, naturally enough, he failed
to make good. accounting for the
modest score OF 50.
The Spragues. who are veterans at
the headpin game, had their fifth an
nual affair last night in the stars
big competition. RUDE Engstrom also
celebrated his fifth night as manager.
Everything was handled in good style
and seventy bowlers got into tho
argument. OF these there were three
watch-fob winners, Frank Limpert
tally'ng 10S, Bob Foote 102 and Charlie
Mack 101. Here are ali the scores:

FOUR CITIES SEEK
OUTLAW FRANCHISE
Federal League Directors Will
Vote on Acceptance Of
New Teams.
TO ELECT A PRESIDENT

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Nov. L.
Baltimore. Buffalo, Philadelphia and
milwaukee, viii ask for places in the
circuit of the Federal Baseball
League when the directors Of the or
SANITATION open their two days SEES
sion here this morning. Baltimore, it
is said, has raised a guarantee Of
s25,000 and has secured desirable
grounds for park and practically
is assured of being one of the two
towns to be taken into the league.
Which of the other three towns
would secure the eighth place in the
circuit was an open question, and only
could be decided by a vote Of the
directors, il, was said. Cleveland,
Pittsburgh, Chicago, st. Louis, Kan
sas City and indianapolis each will
retain its franchise.
The Indianapolis promoters Will re-
port today that they have secured a
location near the business district for
park and St Louis, Cleveland and
Chicago also must show that they
have obtained leases on park sites
nearer the downtown sections Of these
cities than the grounds used last sea-
son. This action by the league is
tdikcu 10 insure Ipelttf dt1tiiuaiiSe At
future games.
Probably the most important busi-
ness will be the election of officers,
and before the meeting the names of
many prominent baseball men were
mentioned as probable selections. It
was said that man formerly con-
nected with a major league club prob-
ably would be the choice.
Much attention Is given the probable
action of the magnates in deciding
upon a policy regarding the Federal
Leagues attitude toward organized
baseball. It has been said by one
director prominent in league affairs
that the magnates would issue a
declaration of war and Immediately
offer inducements to players In Or
gani2ed baseball to jump their con-
tracts for places in the new organi-
zation. A definite policy in this re-
gard is expected TO be announced.

JOHNSON HAS NEW
PLAN FOR SERIES.
American League Head in Favor
of Triple POst-SeasOn
Contests.
GOSSIP OF THE GAME

Ban Johnson, president of the Amer
lean League, yesterday announced ne
was disposed to favor triple series
with the three ranking clubs of the
two big leagues as contestants. Mr..
Johhson's present intention is to sub
nit TO the National Commission the
suggestion that the pennant-w winners
of each circuit compete against each
other, the two second-plaee teams
engage in a similar series, and each
third-rater get together.
The greatest objection to the pres
ent series is that thousands Of fans
are unable to see the games. As
means. of improving this situation
Mr.. johnson declared he was in favor
OF extending the series to nine games
and reducing the admission.
After a four-hour conference With
Garry Hermann yesterday after
noon. Joe Tinker signed his contract
as manager of the Cincinnati Reds
for 1914. At practically the same time
Tom O'Hara was signed again as
scout and DIR. HoslSins as the trainer,
while the agreement to train at Al
exandria, La, was approved by
Tinker and forwarded TO the South
ern city.
A declaration of war upon organ
lied baseball is expected to be the
result of the meeting of the mag
mates OF the Federal League, who
will convene at indianapolis today
for a two-day session. The recent
signing of Shortstop Alcock, OF the
Indianapolis Federal League Club, by
the Chicago American League team,
has hroupht the matter to an issue.
Nearly a third of million more
persons paid to attend American
League ball games last year than did
In 1912, according to n statement yes
terday by President johnson, OF the
league. Up to within the last month
of the season the American League
figures were more than 100000 more
than the preceding season, but at
tendance fell off sharply during the
late games.

White Sox Capture Another
Game, Pounding Matty Hard

Christy Mathewson was subjected TO
one of the severest drubbings of his
career in trying to curb the Chicago
White Sox at Dallas, Tex, yesterday
afternoon. The "old master was
pounded for fourteen hits. including
two doubles and two triples. f'Matty'
called upon his skill in the pinches,
but In vain. The White Sox won by a
score of 9 to 3.
"Matty'' was at his worst in the
fourth inning, when half dozen runs
were scored on him. In the last three
frames, however, he settled down to
something like his real form. but by
that time the damage had been done.
Lefty Leverenz. the lanky south
paw. who served his time with the
Browns during the regular season,
was on the mound for the White Sox
and was in the midst of one of his
good days. He limited the Giants to
tive hits.
