NATL COMMISSION AWARDS
LEARY TO ST. LOUIS AMER.
Much Sought for Player Finally Awarded
Reelected President Commission Adourns,
for Conference With Fraternity

Cincinnati, January 5.-After taking
up requests of the Baseball Players
fraternity one by one, the national
baseball commission and the committee
from the National Association OF
Minor leagues adjourned tonight ready
to present solid front when the COM
mittee of players presents it's case to-
morrow.
No announcement of what demands
had been conceded or denied was issued,
but on good authority it was said not
more than -four of the demands will
cause any friction at tomorrow's meet
ing.
Probably the most important an
nouncement was that the meeting to-
morrow would be an open one. In the
minds of many it augers we'll for the
players.
It was announced previous to the
joint meeting of the commission and
the committee from the minors that
the only request that the minor leagues
objected to was the one that asks that
their release.
There are several, however, that the
majors do not take kindly to- but just
what these are major league officials
refused to divulge.
The national commission was in ses-
sion most of the day. Chairman August
Hermann and Secretary John e. Bruce

Chicago, January 5.-George Sutton,
who will play Willie Hoppe for the 49,

pair will open a three nights exhibi-
tion match At Harry Coolers room in
Indianapolis on January 12. later going

practicing alone, playing the white

days, but can he play his best billiards

BUSY MAKING
PLANS FOR RACING SEASON

New York, January 5.-While easterners
are bewailing the ''decadence of auto
racing and attempting to make it APP
pear as il the decline were general, west
erners, and particularly those on the Pa
cific coast. are calmly proceeding with
preparations for most successful sea-
son. Statistics prove, they say, that
wherever the public was given a chance
in 1918 1t backed the sport to the limit.
More money and more events. therefore,
are to be offered next year than ever.
The trouble with the east is not the
sport itself, it Is eontehded, but the pro-
moters. They lack the dash, nerve and
enterprise displayed by their western
confreres, 1t is alleged. Witness the ex-
ample of the Motor Dealers Contest as
cociation of New York, for instance.
which, after discussing tentatively time

would undoubtedly attract the greatest

were reelected and both submitted
annual reports.
Secretary Burns reported that the
total money handled by the commission
from all, sources. including the worlds
and different city series, amounted to
$S55. .66S.SS. Among the minor decisions
handed down by the commission were:
Player Leary, who was claimed By
Birmingham, Utica and the St Louis
Americans, was awarded to the St.
Louis Americans as drafted player.
The decision of the national board in
awarding the claim of Player Martin
for salary from the Newport News club
was concurred In and the Newport News
club was ordered to settle the claim
Immediately.

not broached.

President Robert Hedges of the ST.

up by holding measly little 500-mile re-
liability run for touring cars of all classes
and descriptions in the dead of winter.
Such is life in big cities.
Coincidence Pointed Out
An odd coincidence is pointed out by
westerners in this connection through
citing that where racing Is strongest the
A. A. A., or governing body, is weakest
and vice versa. On the west coast where
action is freest and most untranmeled, q
majority of events being held under the
auspices of the w. A. A., racing Is at its
pinnacle. while in the middle west, where
semi-independence is asserted. things are
likewise in excellent shape, as attested
by Elgin and indianapolis.
The fact that the A. A. A. spends so
much of it's time on good roads work and
SO little on contests is deeply deplored
1t is stated that the only interest evil
denced by the governing body is that
manifested in the box office On the dav
of a contest. AS particularly eloquent
proof of this is cited the experience OF

DE ORC IS FAVOR|TE
OVER NORM FOR THE
THREE CUSHION TITLE
Stage Set for Opening of
Big Championship Battle
Tonight in the
Windy City

Chicago. January 5.-The stage at
Recital hall is set for the opening to-
night of the worlds championship
three cushion billiard match between
Alfredo de Orc of New York, holder
of the Jordan Lambert trophy, and
challenger Charles Morin of Chicago.
They will play $50 points for the en-
blem and stakes of s500--50 points Off
each of three nights.
De orc is favorite in the betting at
odds ranging from 6 to 3 to to S,
but as NORM has many friends and ad-
mirers who are willing to back the
former amateur champion against the
old Cuban master, 1t would not be sur
prising If the wagering were even up
when the experts step to thetable to-
morrow night to bank for the opening
shot
That De ORC expects hard match
is plain to those who have closely
watched the champion in practice for
the last fe wdays. The veteran has
worked for hours. day after day. with
out leaving the table, and to say that
he is in excellent stroke is putting II
mildly. He has averaged well and has
clicked off runs of six seven, eight
will face Morin confident of retaining
his title.
NORM on the other hand has been
hard at it for weeks and is keyed
right up to concert pitch. Charley has
beaten Walter Lauben, Bill Huey, Hor-
ace Leon and all the best players now
in the city and is firm in the belief
that the finish of his match with De
ORC, Wednesday night, Will find him
wearing the old islanders crown.
Joe Carney of San Francisco once
took the championship from De orc
and recently came within an ace of re-
peating his triumph. and as Norm has
clearly demonstrated his superiority
over the Pacific coast star on more
than one occasion, the local crack
"dopesr himself to have at least an
even chance with che great New York
wielder of the cue.
At any rate the match promises TO
be a eorker and not in years here has
so much down right interest centered
in similar contest. The winner Will

BAG. MONTHLY STAG
SCHEDULED TONIGHT

The January stag of the Birmingham
Athletic club will be held this evening,
beginning at $50 o'clock. For the past
week club officials have been at work
on the programme and as result very
enjoyable one has been arranged.
One of the unique features that has
been planned for the entertainment of
club members is a ring TANGO which
is considered superior to the original
dance. Although it is more difficult than
the Argentine or other species of the
tango it is much more graceful and will
no doubt make a hit with the spectators
from the beginning.
Those who will participate in this new
dancing craze are Felix Blackburn, Wal

HERMANN ISSUES
DISTINCT WARNING
TOFEDERAL LEAGUE
New League Must Not In
fringe on Rights of
Clubs in Organ
lied Ball

Cincinnati, January "a distinct warm
ing to the Federal league not to infringe
on what clubs in the National agreement
consider their rights, is given in the an
nual report of August Hermann, chair
man of the National Baseball commission,
made public here today.
"The Federal league, which operated
clubs in 1913 in territory occupied by ma
tional agreement clubs, did not attain
prosperity or prestige" the report says
"A passive policy has been pursued by
the commission and the leagues directly
affected toward that organization, but
il the contractural and reservation rights
of national agreement clubs are not re
spected by its CrederaD league promoters,
it may become necessary to employ siren
uous measures for the protection of the
interests of major and minor league clubs.
Rivalry will not be resented so long
as league and club rights are not ignored.
but illegal and unsportsmanslike tactics
and the establishment of interference
with regulations of National league clubs
will justify the adoption of vigorous de-
fense methods
Herrmanns statement Is regarded as
the answer of organized baseball to the
projects of the Federal league whose
spokesmen have declared that while they
will respect actual playing contracts held
by national agreement clubs they Will
disregard the much discussed reserve
clause which they hold to be illegal.
Touching ON the Gallagher resolution in
the national House of Representatives
the report says:
"The introduction of the Gallagher reso-
luton in in the House was the forerunner
to a congressional inquiry into the meth
DDS and purposen of professional baseball
as operated under the antionai agree
ment.
This measure. however. died In the
committee. to which it was referred. As
there has been no agitation, on this mat
ter recently, | assume that those who
were behind it have concluded not to
make further efforts in that direction.
THE attitude of the commission relative
to this inquiry was promptly and clearly
defined A thorough and impartial in
ouiry by Congress, or by the federal
or state courts, will be welcomed by all
connected with the game In full confi-
dence that the result win demonstrate

HENRY BRAZEAL NEW TRACK

Henry Brazeal, miller was selected yes-

Central High school for the season of

has been held, the first, which was on
Friday. resulting in a tie between Brazeai
and Jones.
Yesterday. however, Jones requested
that his name be withdrawn and that
