HEAD OF OUTLAW LEAGUE
MAKES GOOD IMPRESSION

bait chiefly for National Leaguers.
The Honorable Ban johnson is more
or less Of car. but he has proved
that he is a real leader in the way
he has successfully conducted the
American league. Ban wanted to be
president of the National League last
year-at least the rumor to that eff
feet is circulated--and SO the ways,
putting two and two together. say
that Ban is glad fthat the Federals
are making war on the National
League, and that it will be a good
thing for organized baseball.
The stories about Ban being behind
Gilmore and the outlaws are the out
put of some fertile imagination in all
probability. Anyhow. Gilmore. in his
talks to the newspaper men, has dis
played great tact. has done no brag-
ging and has come out in the open
and declared that in making his fight
he is not looking for sympathy. Eve
will produce real. classy baseball or
go under. We do not respect the re-
serve clause because it is Illegal. 1t
is d case of a fight; we realize that,
and we are ready for a bitter, long
drawn out war. Don't forget that"
Gilmore has for his secretary Lloyd
Rickert, who Is an exceptionally clev-
err press agent. Gilmore and Rickert
are now introduced for the first time.
Some day their names may be as well
known as Ban Johnson's. John X.
Tener's and other men who are promi-
nent in the national pastime.

The splash caused by the recent in
vasion of the Federal League is the
biggest ripple that has hit organized
baseball since the American League
jumped bodily into the pool some
twelve years ago. Whether it will as
sumo the proportions of tidal wave
or die down to a mere little wash
against the rocks of bankruptcy will
depend a great deal on the brains of
one man in particular. James A. Gill
more. its president.
Much has been written about the
new leader of the outlaw clan, which
would separate the big league moguls
from some of their spells, but Gill
more on the whole has managed to
keep in the background until now. A
photographer recently got the new ex-
ecutive to pose and the likeness re-
produced herewith should give an eX-
cellent idea of the president of the
invading forces.
To date Gilmore has shown keen
business acumen. particularly in pat
terning after Ban Johnson. Indeed.
it is limited on some sides that the
august Ban Johnson might be back
ing Mr.. Gilmores new league. espe-
cially after Ban Johnson'S recent re-
marks about the newcomers making
war on the National League. Such
q thing seems preposterous. but the
thing which gives most credence to
the report is that outside OF George

RECORD FIELD FOR
JUNIOR LAURELS
Holland, Gardner, Maxfield
and Wenz Expected to
Make Marks Tonight.
TRACK AND FIELD NOTES
TRACK AND FIELD NOTES

Aspirants for the junior national
titles competing tonight at the Thir-
tenth regiment, Brooklyn, comprise
one of the best fields that has ever
striven for the secondary athletic hon.
ors of the country. Newark is unus-
uaily well represented and it would
not be surprising to witness some of
the local athletes bring home the
titles in their respective events, des-
pite the fact that many athletes who
have won national fame are competi-
tors.
Local enthusiasts are banking on
the performance of "Har' Holland in
the sprints. He is entered In both the
s0-yard and 220-yard dashes. Holland
has an indoor record of 10 seconds fiat
for the 100-yard dash, a mark which
he created for the Military Athletic
League several years ago. Jimmy"
Gardner is also entered in the 60-yard
event Gardner has done the 100 in
10 LIS seconds. He Is even better at
the 60-yard distance, and the Central
High School lad may upset the calcu-
lations by securing first place.
Despite the entry of Charles Brick
ley, the Harvard football star, Wal
lace Maxfield, who lives in Bloom
field, and who is representing Dart
mouth, is conceded a place in the shot
put. Harry Hillman, the coach of the
Green trackmen, is responsible for the
assertion that to beat MaXfield,
record must be broken.
Ezra Wenz, the Roselle flyer, will
start for Colby College in the two
mile event. The Roselle youngster is
the holder of the two-mile interscho-
lastic record, and will take lot OF
beating. Jack LASER, of the Newark
Y. Nj. C. A., is entered in the standing
broad jump, while his brother, Aaron
LASER, will represent Central High
School in the standing high jump.
Entries for the Tabs games will
close next wednesday. Much local
interest is being centred on the bicycle
event and it is more than likely that
some of the Velodrome talent will
compete against the Metropolitan
etars who have so long had monop-
DIV ON the fiat floor brand of cycling.
The leaders of the opposition ticket
of the New York A. c. decided not
to run a slate of governors at the
annual election. 1t was determined,
however, to support William HI.
Page for president to finish.
Names OF the candidates must be
posted tonight at the club, and the
club politicians are awaiting the an
pouncements with interest. Everett
Jansen Wendall, sprinter of the
early Sc's, signed his name yester-
day to a petition renominating the
present executives.
The relay team which represented
New York in the intercity relays at
the New Years game in Buffalo.
came back with two defeats to its
record. The relay was composed of
Rosenberger, Fisher, Hershon and
Riley. with Ollie De Gruchy as an
extra man for the medley relay.

If constancy is a gem, persistency
must be a whole bushel of precious
stones, but alack and alas, both con-
stancy and persistency sometime go
unrewarded. There is a certain am
bilious young ball player who has
worn a deep groove in the door sill
of the Newark clubs headquarters,
in the Ordway building, through his
daily application for position with
Harry Smiths champions. The play
er in question, whose name cannot be
divulged, for reasons quite obvious,
is a shortstop who bobbed up at the
local park one day last season and
asked Harry Smith for tryout.
Harry allowed the youngster to get
into a suit and work out with the
Bengals in practice. The season
ended, and Smith forgot all about
the incident until about two mouths
ago, when the youngster called
around to find out if he were still on
the Newark clubs reserve list. He
seemed to figure out that Smiths
consent to give him tryout that
one day made him a full-fedged
member of the champions. He has
been unfortunate in making connec-
lions. for he has never been able to
catch the Tiger manager in when he
calls, but he leaves a note or a card
always telling Harry he will be sure
to call again.
Being a baseball manager is tick
fish business sometimes Harry
hasn't the heart to tell the youth
that he does not think he is fast
enough, and at the same time he
cannot recommend him to another
club without stretching the truth
and running his reputation as a judge
of baseball talent-all of which a
manager must be careful about do
ing.
1t is one of the tragedies Of life for
a youngster who has ambitions to be
told he lacks the physical require
ments to make a good ball player,
but when they become so persistent
as to become obnoxious the truth
must be told, and ideals cherished
perhaps for years are swept away
with enc little word OF discourage
ment. Even in his brief career as a
manager Harry Smith has had such
experiences. 1t Is not an easy or a
pleasant task to tell a ball player
there is no room for him on the team
and that he hasn't the speed to make
good in class A company, but a man
ager must not be "chicken-hearted, -
and in baseball, as well az life. it ID

Wilfrid Reid, the professional golf
er of Banstead Downs, England, who
led in the field in the American open
championship September !. 1918, and
who was reported as likely to locate
permanently in America, will remain

the latter reconsidered his resignation
he will remain at the Short Hills
Club.
Marked changes are being made in
the course of the Hackensack Golf
Club, and it will not be long until
that it would taffe a flattering offer
of a championship calibre in the

Hackensack has been short course,

LEWNSKY SEEKS MATCH

Gunboat Smith, flushed with his
New Years Day victory over Arthur
Pelltey, is going abroad. His man
ager, James Buckley, announced
after the Pellsey affair, that he IN
tended to take Smith to Europe to
fight George Carpenter and Jack
Johnson. Buckley firmly believes that
the Gunner can whip johnson, there
by recovering the worlds champion
ship.
Battling Levinsky, In view of his
long string of victories, believes that
he is entitled to a match with Smith,
and as soon as the Gunner arrives in
New York from the coast there will
be some warlike talk. Levinsky is
matched to box Jim Coffey, the Dub
lin Giant, six rounds in Philadelphia
tonight, and he expects to repeat his
recent victory over the big Irishman.
After the bout with McAllister, who
is a dangerous opponent, Levinsky
will rest up for the ten round go

John "Dots" Miller, proprietor of a

reports circulated about him jumping

says: 81 have not signed a Federal

Federals wrote me several letters
asking me to jump the reserve clause
in my contract, but 1 never even took
the trouble to answer them. IL they
have really stated that have agreed
to manage or play with one of their
teams they lie
II pledged my word to the frater-
nifty that I wouldn't sign with any
club until after our demands had been
granted or denied by the National
Commission on January 6, and l am
going to Cincinnati in good faith to
serve on our committee.
IT have no fault to find with the
deal that sent me to the st. Louis
Cardinals. OF course, would have
preferred to play in Pittsburgh, but as
l will receive the same salary in st.

don't know whether Tinker has act
ually signed or not with the Chicago
Federals. I understand that he will
soon fill several vaudeville engage
ments in New York and Brooklyn,
and perhaps he needs the advertising.
AS for myself, 1 can't see how the
Federal League can live without first
class major league teams, to secure
which it will require many thousands
of dollars. Organized baseball looks
4pretty good to me-"
