Burrneister Shows His
Skill as Engineer Of the
League Steam Roller
(By E. r. Hosking.)

ST. Paul, Minn.. Dec. president
Burmaister Of the Northern league
has put over" his reorganization" Of
the circuit, and the former owner OF
the Winnipeg franchise has been
pitched head first out Of the window,
.meister's coup probably does not
technically violate baseball law, as the
,so-called dissolution Of the league
like charity, covers a multitude Of
sins.
r. But the transaction lacks every ele-
.ment Of substantial justice. One of
1.-The grievances Burmeister cherished
against the Manitoba magnate was
that he had failed to provide. an ex-
pensive, up to date baseball plant.
But, as events have shown, 1t is a
lucky thing for Pulford that he did
not. II he can be unceremoniously cast
aside at the mere whim of the head
of the league.
There is a grim humor in Burmeis-
ter's statement that "We have taken
nothing belonging to him (Pulford).
retains possession Of his players, his
ball bats, his uniforms, and has the
privilege Of playing baseball at the
old place II he cares to. The fran
chise belonged to the league

tion. might with equal Justice say:
Here are your gun and your personal
belongings. The ammunition ON the
ship belongs to me. and you cannot
have any. Hunt and amuse yourself
as you please with your own proper
ty."
1t is possible that there may have
been good reasons for oustinE Pulford
from the Northern league, but if there
are Burmeister has kept them to him
self. An appeal to the courts should
disclose these reasons, If they exist.

Joe Shugrue, the young lightweight
OF Jersey City, has proved he can do
what many other American fighters
have failed to do-best clever Freddy
Welsh, lightweight champion of the
world. in a ten round bout. Shugrue
now looms up as one of the great
lightweights, and he will probably be
sought at high prices by clubs in

NATIONAL N0CULS
CONTINUE CONFAB
Big Deals on For Trade of
Players-Routine Matters
Are Considered.

:, New York, Dec. 9.-Although the
National and International leagues
adopted several important resolutions
at their annual meetings yesterday, the
American league, represented inform
ally here by its president. Ban john
son, and several OF the club magnates,
furnished the baseball sensations of
the day. 1t was the Junior league en-
ecutive who formally confirmed the
deal which transferred Eddie Collins,
the Philadelphia Athletics star sec
ond baseman. from the Philadelphia
club to the Chicago club and who
stated that the American league was
negotiating for the purchase Of the
New York club by Col. Ruppert, a
brewer of this city.
President Comiskey. Of the Chicago
club. who closed the deal with Collins
during the morning, refused to state
the exact terms of the transaction.
He said that he had signed Collins to
five-year contract after agreeing to
pay the Philadelphia club a cash sum
and giving Connie Mack the right to
select one or two players from the
White Sox roster. From another
source it was reported that Comiskey
gave the Philadelphia club $4,000
for Collins release and agreed to pay
the same sum to the second baseman
during the next five years.
President johnson, while he did not
deny that the American league was
negotiating with Col. Rupert for the
sale Of the New York Yankees, stated
that the deal had not been consum-
mated and might yet fall through.
f. 1t is reported the deal will be
further considered at meeting Fri
day.
Discuss War.
At a dinner given last night by
President Hampstead of the local Ma
tional league club to visiting mag
mates muchftof the talk is said to have
had to do with the Federal league
activity of late in enticing players
away from the older organizations.
Rumors that President Hampstead
had been given assurances of support
in legal fight to restrain Marquard
from joining the Brooklyn Federals
were heard today previous to the
meeting of the national commission,
which all forecasters are unanimous
in saying will issue war orders, in
Guiding instructions to blacklist play
ers who desert organized baseball for
the Federak.
The meeting of the national COM
mission was to open the days round
OF baseball sessions and from the gov
ernipg body the program for what
ever National league action against
tho Federals Is taken was expected to
come. A meeting Of the National
league board of directors was set for
this afternoon previous to the annual
league meeting. The presence of
President johnson and majority of
the American league club owners also
gave rise to reports that special
meeting Of that body would be held
here this week to back up the parent
organization and the national com.
mission in the fight to restrict the
baseball field Of the country.
Questione involving the transfer of
to other cities remained for the In
ternational league club owners to de-
eide. Syracuse and Richmond arc
expected to be selected to take over
these two franchises.

pion of the world in his class.
Welsh, who is very fast and
clever boxer. is supposed to be at
his best in ten round bouts. They
are so short that he can go at top
speed in them, and few of his op-
ponents have had chance against
him in such short time. However,
Shugrue fought him to a standstill.
While the Jersey boy did not carry
heavy punch. he hit Welsh often.
Had she more steam he might have
made it very dangerous for the light
weight champion. Shugrue is now
entitled to long bout with Welsh,
one in which the championship will
be at stake. The ten round affairs
in New York never decide much un-
less there is knockout.
