Il
IN 1.-THE frequent intervals of col
tecting, a new Cracker infeld and a
dozen pitchers for next seasons
grind we are more or less assailed by
rumors OF the Players Fraternity and
what it is doing.
AS a rule, the Frat is requesting
something, and there is a pretty fair
chance that the millions Of fans who
pay to see baseball players at work
may care to know some Of the points
on which these expert wOTkmen are
not pleased with their jobs.
The prevailing impression among
the fans is that the ball player has
pretty soft job.
D UT that is owing to what you call
ID a soft job and how you look at 1t,
having named it.
Now, suppose, for the sake of eN-
ample that the players job suddenly
leaves him-suppOse he draws the
can, the sack, or-as it is termed-the
unconditional release.
At present the unconditional release
is a thing likely to catch the player
without a moments warning. 1t nip
ped good old Dusty Rhoades, OF
the Kansas City A. A. team, last sum
mer like flash of lightning out OF a
clear sky-a worthy veteran who was
once a star pitcher with Cleveland,
conscientious and hard working ball
PLAYER. And Jake Gettman, too got
the same deal.
So the Fraternity is asking Of the
National Commission that ten days
notice be made necessary before a
PLAYER can be released, during which
time the player may negotiate for an
other Job with any other club IN his
league or out of it..
THAT request does not appear un-
L worthy or arbitrary.
Then there is the added contention
that while the players contract Is
binding on him for life, or for as
long as the magnate wants him. 1t is
not binding for fraction Of second
on the magnate. The Fraternity Is of
the impression that it is poor rule
that won't measure the same on one
side as it does on the other.
That, too, seems reasonable
TEEN the Fraternity requests that
l when a player is transferred from
one club to another he be informed as
to the exact terms Of his new contract
whether il is an outright sale or
optional. AS it is a player frequently
Is packed off to another club, knowing
nothing beyond the amount Of the sal
airy he is to draw, and with his future
in a sadly unsettled condition, to shy
the least
That doesn't seem right, either. At
any rate, no other business on earth
can get by with such drag these
days.
THE much talked of and little un-
1 derstood waiver rule also comes
In for a slam.
The Fraternity argues that II is not
fair to the player TO send man to

Georgia In Last Workout To-day
Team Leaves for Atlanta Friday

a coaches perfected their instr1c
tive work to the team for the
Saturday game yesterday afternoon,
and to-day will hold the last practice
on Sanford Field before leaving for
Atlanta tomorrow Every possible
precaution has been taken this week
to keep the proceedings on the Geor-
gia gridiron a profound secret. There
have been no admittances to the field.
and II anything has leaked out the
informant would be nothing less than
a regular detective.
Cunningham, assisted by Hatton
Lovejoy, Frank Ridley, Kid Woodruff
and Cliff Hatcher all old Georgia
players Of note, has changed the Red
and Black attack completely this
week, and an entirely new set of sig
nails has been given to the quarter
back This much is observed by the
way the players are porting over for
nations after they leave the field
TOR an emergency play the Red and
Black players have been given
some new forward passes during the
week, but Cunningham has always
been prejudiced against this play, and
Eas never used it except in dire stress.
II another situation presents itself as
in the Clemson game, the entire pack
age Of forward passes will be opened
up, but the chances are that straight
football, with end runs, will be what
Georgia will rely on, with McWhorter
carrying the ball in his regular truck
horse fashion
The shift of McKinnon to guard
should be one Of the best moves OF
the season by the Georgia coaches.
McKinnon was a member of the Mich
igan squad two years ago, and while
there was a star Of the reserves He
has the weight, is as quick as a cat on
shifting, and knows a lot of football.

Organized Baseball
Prepared to Fight,
Declares Hermann

COLUMBUS, OHIO. Nov. Ia
"They can have peace or they can
have war, whichever suits them best"
These were the words of the key
note speech delivered by Garry
Hermann, chairman of the National
Commission, before a gathering of
baseball men at a banquet here last
night, and outlined for the first time
officially, the attitude of organized
baseball against the Federal League
and the Players Fraternity. The head
of the Cincinnati club let it be known,
and distinctly so, that peace is what
organized baseball prefers, but that if
war 1t should be, it will be a bitter
one. He also said that organized base
ball is well prepared to fight
Baseball win not be confined to
clubs operating under the national
agreement" continued Garry The
game is open to all When players
have affixed their signatures to con-
tracts, the commission will make an
effort at all times to enforce all pro-
visions of such contracts, whether
they affect the player or the club
owner"
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-11-13

THE whole atmosphere here has be
come permeated with the football
spirit. The annual bug and dope talk
has set everybody to talking of the
game, and the alterations over the
place that the game is to be played
have but augmented the interest. On
the street cars, on the corners and in
the cafes the one question is, Can
Georgia duplicate for three years and
carry off the gonfalon again? OF
course, here in Athens the general
opinion is that the Red and Black will
again return to the Classic City in
triumph, but many are pessimistic,
and argue that Heisman has been
saving up all season to win the Geor-
gia game above all others. Anyway.
all Athens will be there to see what
ever happens,
TIE following weights have been
given out at the Red and Black
headquarters as being official of the
men who will line up against the yell

Gridiron Struggle,
n T present 1t looks as If there will
~ be no game between Georgia
and Tech neYt Saturday

|. \ 7 present it looks "a If there will
n be no game between Georgia
and Teen next Saturday.
The athletic authorities have issued
their ultlmatum that the game either
be played at Grant Field or not at all,
and it is up to the University Of Geor-
gia to come across"
Right now they say that it is Ponce
DeLeon or no game, but the authori-
ties at Tech have hopes that they
will change their minds,
The team, however is not taking
any chances on the game not being
PLAYED and are putting in all their
time at hard practice.
The last scrimmage was held yes
etrday afternoon, as Coach Heisman
wants everybody to be in good phys
zeal shape.
. ATTEN and Nance We're out in
uniform and got into the scrlm-
mage. This put new life into the men,
50 that when they left the field Coach
Heisman had a fairly satisfied look
on his face
The men who win be missing from
the lineup Saturday will be Preas,
Johnson Alexander and possibly
Fielder
The loss OF Preas is the hardest
blow the team has received this year
as he did practically all Of the kick
ing besides being tower OF strength
on both Offense and defense.
This will put all Of the kicking
on Macdonald. and whether he Will
be able to take care of it or not Will
be seen Saturday.
IT ATE is putting up a hard game
at end and tackle. and seems
sure to get in the game Saturday.
There are several old Tech stars
down on the field every afternoon
trying to put some fight into the men.
Among them are Chip" Robert and
Red" Hill, VINO captained the 1910
team.

"Or yourself" shot in the inter
viewer.
For answer Guyon smiled and then
continued, We'll, it's pretty near an
all-star team and far and away the
best, taking everything into consider
alton that / have ever seen"
Asked for q prediction concerning
the coming game, he would only say:
well, the boys are going to give a
good account of themselves and it's
going to be the greatest game of the
season for the reason that both teams
are well matched in weight and abil-
ity, although Dartmouth has a little
the better of it in the former. Yes"
he concluded, with reminiscent
smile on his features, 1T will be some
game, believe me-"

Wahoo Praises Carlisle Eleven
Indians Are Bunch Of Kidders

u ARLISLE, PA, Nov. 13.-To the
fan who believes that the In
dian in athletics is a stole the
statement of Charlie Guyon (Wahoo),
The one-time famous right end of the
Carlisle Indians, to the effect that the
members of his race, on the gridiron
at least, are a Bunch of KiddeTs'
will come as a distinct surprise.
Guyon, who was here yesterday on
MS way to the meeting Of the Ma
tional Baseball Commission in Co.
lumbus, insists that the Indians take
their football work more lightly than
any other players. They regard 1t
merely as a recreation" he says. This
opinion was confirmed by their coach,
Pop" Warner, who says that the In
dams have as keen a sense of humor
as have any of their white opponents.
Guyon witnessed the Johns Hopkins
indian game in Baltimore on Satur-
day and related a couple of stories
concerning Gus" WEIGH, Carlisle'S
famous right end. 1t appears that
ne Indians came to the conclusion
hat the officials were giving Hopkins
a little the better of some of their
decisions. So, during a halt in the
The shoulder and said, smilingly,
You are playing a good game to-day
~ fell, but why don't you go over to
he lines and put one of those uni
forms on"
4 FEW moments later Welch was
d, making a run around the end
when the whistle blew. The runner
halted and demanded the reason.
You were outside" said the lineman.
Outside!" exclaimed WEIGH, looking
down at his feet.
Yes. outside" retorted the official.
Huh" replied Welch and then q
slow smile broke out over his broad
ana mud stained features. oh yes,
now / understand must have left
my right arm swing over the line
Both Guyon and Warner have
scores of such stories to tell to en-
phasize their statements anent the
indian humor and good temper in
their games. Often, Warner con-
fesses. they manage to get the joke
on him.
Guyon, who is now located in At
ANITA, Ga, is making a strong effort
TO get a game for some Southern
team with the Indians each season.
1t is understood that there is some
possibility Of such an event next
year.
HIS opinion concerning this years
team and it's chances for victory
over Dartmouth next Saturday on the
Polo Grounds in New York city is
interesting. He says: This team
s the best that | have seen for
several reasons. First, it's not
1ne-man team. Every player is good
and none tries to pull any star
stunts" None Of them have to look
up to any players like Thorpe, Or"
At this point Guyon paused modestly.

a lower classified league, "at great
cost to the players reputation, simply
to strengthen some lower class team
in which his owner is interested. or
to get another player in exchange,
when the player could easily get en-
ployment with another club Of his
accustomed class"
The argument in favor OF the
waiver rule is that no deserving play
er can be waived out of a league
because other owners will want him.
That is not true.
Suppose (fOr example, that Nc
Graw wanted to strengthen some 1f-
filiated club in the Southern League
which he will want to do the COM
ing season, like as not Suppose he
asks waivers on a certain ball player
that Murphy or EJbbets or some other
magnate would like to have.
Il won't waive" says Murphy, or
whoever it is.
IAN right" says the Giants boss
Next time you want to slip one of
your connections a man I'll see that
he doesn't get out of this league

And there you are. 1t is no rash
assertion that almost any man in
either big league could be waived out
Of his job and sent to the minors
THEN the Fraternity Is asking that
reasons for suspension be made
plain to the suspended player, "tO
prevent the wreaking Of personal
spite" and speaks in favor Of the re-
lease of veteran players who have
served their turn, in order that they
may not, like Mordecai Brown, be
sold to some second division club
when they might make advantageous
deals elsewhere.
The payment Of transportation
from players homes to training
camps also is asked, as the player is
really six weeks a his work before
his salary begins. "and frequently IS
a source of revenue to his owner in
that period.
Another little point is the purchase
Of uniforms for players, who now are
