BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL QUESTIONING
The American League Starts Annual
Meeting Here Today


annual meeting here today. The Of
icials have lot of important bust.
ness to thrash out and there is a
good possibility that some interesting
announcements may come out of the
gathering.
In regard to the uneasiness in the
baseball world. it is figured that the
American League viii handle any af- .
fairs in that line with neutrality and
sympathy. Nobody knows right now
what the next big move in the dia-
mond sport muddle is going to be.
We've all got to wait, watch and won
der.
Probably the next most important !
piece of business to come up will be
the decision as to the ownership of
the New York Yankees. 1t is a cinch
the yankees will be discussed, but
whether any definite settlement is
made, in any line, is hard to say.
And still the gloom hangs hangs
over the student body of the Chicago )
University With Dolly" Gray out
of the game with Illinois, Nov. IA, it
is generally figured that the Illinois
aggregation has the best chance to
clean up. And there is a big chance
that Gray will not be able to be in the
lineup. His right ankle is still all !
bunged up. o.
Zuppkess men are pretty much all
in good shape and he has a large
field to pick from. On the other hand.
Stages crew is full of fight and in
good, husky condition. Il
When one takes into consideration
every portion of the two teams the
Illinois crew seems to have a little
the best of it. The line Of the latter
aggregation is wonder and hard to
break through. The Him backs are
speed men and ground gamers. Chi
cago has several good ground gain
ers to fail back on, however, in Pete
Russell, Schaefer, Flood and Acker.

Big railroad interests, hooked up
along with the Chicago Telephone
Co. through interlOcking directorates,
are back of the mysterious stranger,
Mr.. Jacob Clos, tax buyer, who slip
ped in and bought through tax for
fixture the IS miles of railway tun-
nels and phone tubes under down
town Chicago yesterday, according to
Penny Phone League men.
Clos, they say, cannot be repre-
senting "pikers" in the real estate
and tax-buying business. Clos, of
course, puts out strong talk that he
doesn't stand for the Bell phone sys-
TEN nor the Hartman railways. He
is just a common tax buyer who paid
$64,728 for the whole equipment of
the Illinois Tunnel Co., acting for his
good friend and neighbOr, DiedriCh
Arnold of Elmhurst.
Way back last June the property
was advertised for sale because of
tax delinquency. Months went by.
Penny Phone League agitators called
for the city to take over. the whole
tunnel system and phone cOnduits be-
cause the Illinois Tunnel Co. has less
than the 10000 subscribers required
by franchise. Sam EttelsOn and Dan
Schuyler, lawyers for the company,
wrote briefs setting up a fierce cry
of protest against the city grabbing
this valuable property"
And yesterday the innocent Mr..
Jacob Clos comes in and buys from
under the very nose of ChicagO's
shrewdest corporation experts and
lawyers the whole shooting match.
Chicago Bell Telephone Co. is willing
to pay S4,OOO,OOO for it. But Jacob |
Clos grabs it off for sneezing into

foreground tunnels of the Illinois
Tunnel Co. would be valuable stra-
tegic point for the corporation crowd
now owning the Chicago Tele-
phone Co.
Gas and electric interests need
conduits for pipes and wires. Who
ever owns the big main tunnels run
ming under all the main streets Of
the town has a big chance to fight
back and make trouble for anybody
else trying to run pipes and wires.
Montague Ferry, commissioner Of
public service, said: 81 believe own
eTship of the /. T. G. tunnels would
be a big advantage to any interests
seeking a monopoly of light, heat or
power facilities. If owned the tun-
nels my competitors would have to
lay their pipes and wires alongside
of mine or go over and under mine.
They would in many cases be COM
PEELED to come to me and ask for the
privileges. My consent would be nee
essary at some points for them to
get by with their pipes and wires.
''In the minds Of many people there
has always been a suspicion that the
whole automatic system was a good
deal of blind and that it's real pur-
pose was to mask a comprehensive
tunnel system backed by E. H. Har-
riman and Pittsburgh capitalists with
the aim of controlling in Chicago a
rapid downtown freight distribution
system"
Whatever is the purpose of the in
terests so eagerly reaching for these
tunnels now through the Automatic
phone system, it is clear that the Bell
phone interests, insult light and pow
er interests and Marshall Field estate
railroad interests would all be in a
stronger position and find it a paying
asset to have the tunnels of the auto
matte phone system in their own
hands for whatever game tbnv

take-offs on members of the Senior
