BROOKLYN NOT FAR

SIGNING PLAYERS
knetzer, Miller, Stengel, Meyer,

Holding Out.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1s.-Charles H.
Ebbets, president Of the Brooklyn Ma
tional League club, who is busy COM
pleting his new million dollar ball
yard, has rounded up all but six of
the thirty-one players to whom he
had offered contracts for 1913, he said
today.
The only men who have not signed
are Baron" Knetzer, the spit-ball
pitcher; Otto Miller, the principal
catcher; Charley Stangel. the Mont
gomery recruit who served in centre
field at the tail end of last sea son;
Leo Callaghan, the outfeld recruit
from the Elmira, n Y, club; William
Wagner the big right-handed pitcher
procured from the New Orleans club,
and Benny" Meyer who was an out
fielder for Toronto last season. Eb-
bets said he expected all of the hold
OUT brigade would be within the
fold with the possible exception Of
Meyer by the time the call to quarters
sounded in Augusta on March 3.

NEWARK CLUB MAY CARRY
THREE PORTSIDE PITCHERS
If Deal for Pitcher Allen Is Successful,
Tigers Will Be Well Fortified with
SOuthpaW TWirIerS.

Once again the Newark club man
agement is fishing over in Charley
Ebbets's big league pond. The hooks
are all baited, and If everything
works out right and waivers are OBJ
tanned the Tigers may have a new
southpaw within the next few days.
The fact that Lee and Aitchison are
already on the Newark clubs roster
does not alter the situation.
Manager Harry Smith has had his
eye on Pitcher Allen ever since the
former Mobile portsider heaved a
game against the Bengals last spring.
Allen was vanquished by the score of
to 0, and Harry Swasina plugged
his pegging for four hits during the
melee, but Harry is likely to do that
with the best of them, and Aliens
ability should not be deprecated for
that reason.
During the flag end of the season of
1911 Harry Swacina managed Mobile
and Allen was one of his "wingers."
So the big Bohemian stick-wielder
should have become familiar with the
brand of benders peddled by Allen.
The southsider came high to the
Brooklyn club. costing Ebbets some
thing like $500 year ago last fall.
He is lacking in experience, and
Dahlen had no catcher last season
who could coach the youngster like
Harry Smith can.
If Allen can be squeezed through
the waiver process for one season
Smith will return to Brooklyn a fin
ished pitcher, some say as good as
Nap Rucker.

gal band, who is now in Hot Springs,

CARMODY RULES THAT FULL

ALBANY, n. Y, Feb. 1S.-The New
York State Athletic Commission has
exclusive power to regulate boxing
matches, including the adoption of
rules to regulate the sale of tickets,

Attorney General Carmody.
The commission questioned the at
torney- general concerning its juris-
dictlon to entertain a complaint
against the Empire Athletic Club, of
New York, in proceeding to revoke
the clubs license upon the ground
that it sold tickets in excess of the
seating capacity of its clubhouse,
and as to whether the commission is
authorized to prescribe rules to limit
the number of tickets to be sold for
boxing matches.
Attorney General Carmody says the
Legislature intended to confer upon
the State Athletic Commission pow
ers for the regulation of boxing

the former Montreal player would

that it would be impossible to get

another outfielder.
Harry Smith is up to his old tricks.

falo this season, was wanted by Joe
McGinnity two seasons ago. Nc
Graw promised to send Gowdy to the
Tigers but Boston refused TO waive
on the catcher and Shontz came here
instead. Gowdy can play first base
but is at his best when handling the
curves of some pitcher. He has a
reputation too as a fencebreaker.
