Newark Champions Call Clubs

Before Departing.
THREATEN TO "HOLD OUT"
"GOOD-BY SOLOMON. THE
PENNY FINANCIER.n-BalI Play

That was the wording on a placsrd
stuck on the desk of President George
l.. Solomon, of the Newark Interna-
tional League Club, by the departing
ball players as their farewell token
5 yesterday. The Newark Clubs Of
fees is Room 1905, Ordway building.
Things in his private compartment
were turned generally topsy-turvy,
his picture was scratched off a huge
group of the 1912 Tiger team, an old
straw hat belonging to the clubs
president was smashed and a huge
placard placed on top of his desk. It
read: Good bye, Solomon, the penny
financier. Ball Players Union"
Nobody knew Just who was to
blame for the manifestation of Solo
mons unpopularity. 1t Is understood
that some of the Tigers are Disguised
with the manner in which Solomon
made promises whic1she did not keep.
Others of the Tigers say he treated
them shabbily and made promises
which were not fulfilled. He also
made q most unpopular move yester-
day by discharging Groundkeeper
John Kennedy, one of the best land
scape artists and caretakers of base
ball grounds in the country. Ken

it; but Kennedy can be independent.
and should have no trouble in signing
up with some big league club-per-
haps at New York. Kennedy and
Solomon, it is said, had several diff
ferences during the season when
Kennedy refused to take orders from
Solomon and obeyed the commands of
Manager Harry Smith, who is sup
posed to have charge of the field and
everything connected with the play
ing end of the game.
Kennedy was popular with the
Tigers, and, while the ground was not
always in its best shape. one of the
players explained, 1t was because
Kennedy did not have the material
to work with. Judging from the
placard and other gossip floating
around in the wake OF departing
ball players, Solomon will have a
hard time in getting the contracts of
his players together next spring
Harry Smith managed to get the boys
in line last season, but he will
have double the trouble, according to
one of the Tigers, in signing his ath-
letes next year, If Solomon is still
president of the club.

NEWARK BOWLING
LEAGUE REDUCED
Only Seven Clubs Will Compete
in Local Circuit This
Season.
ELKS WILL HAVE TEAM
ELKS WILL HAVE TEAM

Seven clubs will be represented in
the Newark Bowling League this sea-
son. The Belleyille Club notified the
members who were in session at the
Kruger Association Clubhouse last
night that It would not enter team
this season. The Park A. a, which
passed out of existence last year. will
be another organization which will
not roll in the Newark circuit.
The Newark Eiks will be among the
new members, however, the Hello
Bills" having recently formed a
team particularly to enter the New
ark League. The circuit will be
composed of the following:
Gottfried KRUGER Association,
Roseville Athletic Association. North
ern Republican Club, National Turn
Verein, Newark Elks and the West
End Club.
The following officers were re-
elected: President, John Negley, Of
the Roseville Athletic Association;
ecretary-treasurer, Franklin Hand.
jr., of the Gottfried Kruger Associa-
ton; third member of the executive
committee, Eugene Morrissey, of the
Northern Republican Club.
1t was decided that the competition
should start November 5 and. as
there are only seven teams in the
competition, the bowling will only
continue fourteen weeks.

Dodgers and Senators, Inter-
viewed by Evening Star,
Favor Athletics.
SAY HITTING SHOULD WIN

Familiarity breeds contempt" they
say. That may be the reason why a
number of Brooklyn players do not
like the Giants chances of capturing
the worlds series. On the other hand,
the Washington players, when inter-
viewed here Sunday, picked the Ath-
letics almost unanimously to capture
the title. Contrary to the general
line of dope, the ball players of these
two big. league teams think that hit
ting, instead of pitching, will decide
the series, which means that the Ath-
1etics, having the better hitting COM
bination, should win out.
Clyde Milan, star centrefelder for
the washington team, thinks Mack's
team should win it, but that it may
go as far as seven games, as last
years series did. 1.-THE fact that the
Athletics won the pennant in spite
OF poor pitching proves that they
more than make up for that deficit
by their great stickwork and field
ing" said Milan. Furthermore, Mack
can use Bender and Plank, his best
men, twice, as both are iron men.
This pair ought to win at least three
games between them and one of his
other pitchers should capture the
fourth contest. I think the Philadel-
phia team will hit it's way through"

where they seldom have a chance of
seeing the Giants play may make
their criticism unjust and one sided.
but from watching the box scores and
reading the dope these players are
able to get a keen insight into the
hang of things than the average fan.
In addition many of the players saw
the worlds series last year and fig
ured even then that the Athletics
would have made better showine
than the Red Sox.
George Mcbride, one of the headiest
players in the big league, star short
stop, and in line for future job as
manager of major league team,
says that Connie Mack's men are a
superior all around machine, that the
dope shows the Giants cannot steal
as many bases in a worlds series as
the average during a season because
they dare not take the chances, and
that much of McGraw's success is due
to the Giants dash on the bases.
which in the long run of a season
counts high. He figures the Giants.
on the whole, inferior to the Athletics
as ball players and points out that
their pitching staff and McGraw's
method of driving his men has made
the champions.
Enos Kirkpatrick and Zach Wheat,
of the Dodgers, who, by the way, are
bosom friends, since the former Tiger

ion that the Athletics Will win by
their ability to hit. In addition they

Shuler was making good at half
back last year until broken collar

reported late this year, and has just
got into condition. Shelton has been
playing a good game at end on the

covered from his injury. The big fel-

Princeton Coaches Displeased
With Showing In Rut-

LAW TRIED AT QUARTER

The coaches at the various big COLI
leges let down a trif1e in the practise
yesterday, and the gridiron warriors
took things easy, as a rule. A big
shake-up was made in the Princeton
lineup. the men being shifted around
without regard to past performances
in the former positions. A thorough
drill in forward passing was given
the Yale squad by Coaches Shevlin.
Hinchey and Coy. The Harvard
squad was the only one to be given a
hard workout. Penn and Cornell

Radical Changes for Tigers.
PRINCETON, Sept. s0.-Princeton's
varsity football squad suffered a
severe shaking up yesterday, follow
ing the weaknesses shown in the
Rutgers game on Saturday. The back
field underwent the most radical and
unexpected changes, for II was there
that the Tigers showed their greatest
weakness. Captain Baker did not
appear in his toys His knee was
ing against Rutgers, and Keene Fitz-
patrick kept him of the field.
The new arrangement of the back
field did not work with the desired
smoothness yesterday, but II was the
first time some of the men had played
the positions assigned to them j. g.
Baker was sent 10 right end from
quarterback, Law was shifted to
quarter from right half, and Click,
who formerly was on the wing, cams
back to Laws place at haifback- F.
Trenkman held his position at full
back, but Doolittle and Merritt. who
formerly was q fullback. filled Hobey
Bakers vacancy in the remaining
half position. Walter Hammond took
left end, while Brown enjoyed a day
off. E. Trenkman relieved Balm at
right tackle. Phillips, HeyniEer,
Semmens, W. Swart and r. Trenk-
man were the only men to hold their
positions.
The new combination worked IN
scrimmage against the first substi-
tutes for thirty minutes of fast play,
but neither team could get within fl
teen yards of the goal line Law ran
his team well for a beginner, but his
newness to the position probably ac-
counted for the lack Of snap.
