consideration was not announced, but
statement was made that the new

Manager Heckert is not ready to
make public the names of the men
who are identified with him in the
York club. 1t is known that j. j.
Gerry will continue as president of
the club. meeting for the election
of officers of the new organization
will be held on Monday of next week,
at which time plans for the coming
season will be discussed.
Heckert will again manage the club
and will start work within the next
few weeks on lining his team up for
the opening game May 6. Catcher
Porte, who was with the York club
during the season of 1912, had an in
terview with Heckert in Philadelphia
on Tuesday, but no agreement was
made to take the former player back
in the fold. A number of letters from
young players who want to be given a
chance have been received by Man
ager Heckert during the past week,
but nothing will be done until every
thing regarding the club sale is set
tied. In all probability the same sys-
TEN will be carried out this year as
last, all recruits desiring try-outs be-
ing permitted to come here at their
own expense.

Eddie Zimmerman
Signs With Newark

York, Pa, Jan. 22.-Eddie thinner
man, who is spending the winter al
his home here, does not want to be
classed with the "Vets." The former
Harrisburg third baseman who has
resigned with the Newark Inter-

the bell sounds for Spring practice.
Scout Larry Sutton, of the Newark

after long conference with thinner

which was for one year, and carried a

RESERVE CLAUSE RIGHT,
SAYS BAN JOHNSON

Chicago, Ill, Jan. %. President
Johnson,2 of the American League,
was asked for his opinion on the ac-
ton taken by the Philadelphia club.
President Bakers action probably
is based on the Lajoie decision. The
reserve clause will stand in court, ac-
cording to John G. Johnson, the at
torney who represented the National
League and won the case when Lajoie
was enjoined from jumping from the
Philadelphia National to the Phila-
delphia American club. This opinion
may have influenced Baker,
Johnson added something about a
chilnge in the reserve clause as en-
bodied in the present contracts. Just
what change had been made he re-
fused to say. He, like other big men
in organized ball, seems to believe that
the fight will be made on the reserve
feature, contrary to hints given by the
Federals that they will concentrate
their attack on the -day clause.

TOD MANY SIGNALS
FROM SIDE LINES
Football Rules Committee Claim
Coaches Were the Real
Violators
Special to The Telegraph

New York, Jan. 22.-Football rule
makers while in a way inclined to
leave the present code intact, may de-
eide upon more stringent measures to
prevent coaching and signalling from
the side lines. During the past sea-
son substitutes and coaches were
charged with unfairness along this
line.
An interesting contribution to the
question of side line coaching has
been made by the 1914 captains of
prominent university and college
elevents to the Yale News That the
practice is INDUCED by all coaches,
despite rule 25, section / of the foot
ball code, which expressly forbids it,
is an open secret, and where game
officials have been able to detect in
fringements, warnings, or imposition
of the stipulated fifteen-yard penalty
have followed. The trouble is that.
through signals and the use of sub
stitutes, coaches are able to carry in
structions and criticism to the PLAYERS
without being caught. Obviously this
practice puts the coach into the game
with vengeance, and thus violates
the spirit of the intercollegiate agree
ment to the effect that none but un-
dergraduates in good standing may
participate in games. Captain Talbot.
of Yale, writes his opinion that the
quarterback should run the eleven
without assistance from the side lines.
But. he says, if the coach were kept
away from the side lines entirely.
there would be no one to watch the
condition of the men. Thus he favors
retention of the coaches on the side
lines, but believes that everything
should be done to stop coaching in the
course of game. The Harvard cap
tain is not represented in the sympos-
ium of opinions, for reasons, no doubt
which may be regarded as obvious
Harold BALM, Princeton's leader, is
not In favor of removing coaches from
the side lines, and gives his reasons
frankly, as follows:
II do not favor removal of coaches
because substitutes can receive in
structions in this way that they cam
not get as we'll in any other, the idea
being that the coaches go over the
game with them as it is played, point
Ing out mistakes as they are made
Moreover communications between
the coaches and players are not fire.

Importance, as it means taking one
regular out of the game on each oc-

war that bids fair to equal that OF
1901, when the American League
broke its way into the ranks of or
ganized baseball, seems to be newt
able with the announcement made yes
terday by President Baker, of the
Phillies, that Catcher Billy Killfer had
signed to play with the Doom clan
this season, although he has already
signed to play with the Chicago team
of the Federal League.
1t is more than likely that the
courts will be called upon to deter
mine the issues between the baseball
leagues, and that the fight will revolve
around the famous reserve clause
which figures so prominently in the
Lajoie case, the validity of which was
sustained by the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania.

M'LOUGHLIN RATED

LOughlin, Of California, the hero Of the

ing committee of the United States Ma
tional Lawn Tennis committee today.
Subsequently, the work OF this commit
tee was ratified by the executive COM
mittee OF the national body.
Both committees met at the Waldorf
Astoria and engaged in a lengthy ses-
sion. Only one member OF the executive
committee favored putting Richard Nor
ris Williams ahead OF McLoughlIn, and
based his opposition on the time-honored
custom OF placing the winner Of the
American championship at Newport at
the top of the list. In the championship
Williams defeated Mclaughlin.
Recently the English Lawn Tennis As

the world. put Mclaughlin at number /.
while Williams got no better than No. s.
1t was a high honor for McLoughlIn
and the incident is notable. as 1t is the
FIRST time an American has been rated
No. l on both sides OF the Atlantic. At
today's conclave Williams was rightfully
placed at No. .
Whether or not America should chal-
lenge for the Davis cup next year came up
for discussion. 1t was the consensus of
opinion that a conditional challenge would
not be out OF place, and that the final
recommendation be made by the execu-
tive committee on the morning before
