display than he gave after two disastrous
holes could not be imagined. He got

The long thirteenth cost him g. owing to
overlapping his third. He mishit his tee

Moran a lead of one stroke with hoNs

round the trees or playing to the right
and leaving himself long approach. He
went for the slice, shaved the trees
by a hairs breadth. and got well up the
fairway. This shot, a most daring eff
fort, considering the position. was fol-
lowed by a pitch, which ran a long way
and troubled his supporters considerably,

BY ]. ED GRILLO.

Before the national commission can
take any action on the requests submitted
by the players fraternity the supreme
court of base ball will have to be in
structed by both major league and the
national board of the minor association.
The American will not hold it's next meet
ing until February, so that the chances
are the commission will not be in
position to act on the matter submitted
by the players until March.
A large majority of the players signed
an agreement this fall not to sign con-
tions from the fraternity. it evidently
being the intention TO have the national
commission make the requested conces7
sions before the players are allowed to
sign
With the commission tide up until the
leagues have passed the players re-
quests it may be March before the mat
ter is settled, and If the players stand
pat they will not sign until then. The
rules compel the clubs to submit con-
tracts to their players by February 1, and
as many of them are expected to leave
for training camps before March / there
is apt to be a serious hitch in the pro-
ceeding
1t remains to be seen, however. how
many players will stand by the fraternity
ruling not to sign. A goodly percentage
of the players are in need of advance
money during the winter and this ele-
ment is sure to get into the fold regard
less of what the fraternity may order.
The world-touring teams have played

of players to make the journey. the
teams are not going to be Of very high
artistic caliber
1t is planned 10 have committee from
the National League visit HARRISBURG
Pa, this week and ask Gov. Tener to
accept the presidency of the organization
1t is understood that Robert Brown, the
Louisville man who has been mentioned
for the position several times of late
years, has released those club owners
who pledged themselves to vote for him
and that this action clears the way for
Tener to accept
If Tener has been correctly quoted. he
is not apt to turn the proposition down
He said, when the subject of his becoming
president was first broached, that he was
not a candidate, and would not make a
fight, but that he would look favorably
upon the proposition il the position was
rendered him.
Lynch to succeed himself is for Tener to
refuse to accept In that event it would
be a struggle between Lynch and Brown
and the former would stand chance to
beat his Louisville rival.
Though it was given out after the Fed
eral League meeting in Chicago Saturday
that every club had made a satisfactory
deposit covering the required twenty-five
thousand-dollar guarantee, 1t seems plain
that the whole amount was not put up.
In fact the new league movement seems
mostly to consist of wind. 1t may be true
that Stovall has been signed by the new
comers, but further than that there seems
to be no players of major league caliber
who have joined the neys organization. The
best the new league can hope for is to
occupy a minor league berth Of low cali

O'Hare led by five strokes at the end
OF the third round, the best scores being
O'Hare. 243; M'Neil, 24s; Pope, 24S;
Moran. 249. 1t seemed as if the Irish
champion's long run of victories was at
last to come to an end O'Hare was
playing sound golf. and the real Moran
was so little apparent that the odds
against him were considerable.
In the final round l discovered that
under certain conditions medal play can
be even more exciting than match play.
O'Hare was about twenty-five minutes in
front of Moran, and by dint of dropping
back from one couple to the other the
afternoon could be rendered full of thrills.

HARD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN
HANS WAGNER AND LAJOIE
Both Veterans Are Great and Bat Over
300 for Many Seasons-Poor
Against Two Teams.

There's little to chooce between the
greatest Of the great veterans. AZ
present Napoleon LajOie or the Maps
and Hans Wagner Of the Pirates have
it on all others for services rendered
and starry showings. But the question.
who is the greater, still remains un-
answered.
For years and years both have been
hitting the offerings OF the opposing
pitchers for better than 800 averages.
They did 1t in 1913, King Larry hitting
1921 and Hans .306. That's pretty good
for two athletes who have been at 1T
as long as this pair and each spring
are said to be all in. down and out.
Larry was in the select circle for the
greater part OF the season, while Hans
had a hard time Of 1t. getting into the
ranks of the 300 hitters only by a
great squirt in the closing stages OF
the campaign. But, nevertheless. both
did well, and there's no denying that
both are stars. Picking the greater OF
the two. though. take your choice.
Sox Hurlers Easy for Larry.
Lajoie did his best work of the sea-
son against the pitchers for the White
Sox. pelting the offerings Of Jimmy
Scott. Reb Russell and the other
moundmen on Callahans pay roll for
.44S average. He also hit better than
400 against the Red Sox hurlers, piling
UP .431 mark.
Against the Browns, Larry compiled
a batting mark OF 1863. II he had been
forced to bat against the pitchers of
the Nationals all season he would not
have been in the select circle. He swat
ted only .190 against Walter Johnson &
Co.
Hans Wagner picked on the mound
men on the Cardinal pay roll. betting
the little pill for 391 mark. The
pitchers Of the Giants, who won the
pennant for McGraw, also came In for
their share Of the drubbings, Hans hit
ting 1878 against them.
Wagner did his poorest work against
the slabsters Of the Reds, hitting only
.207 against Joe Tinker's hurlers. He
faced George Suggs. Rube Benton and
the others fifty-eight times. and made
only twelve safeties.
