John H. Myers Is Anxious to

With both Lancaster and Atlantic

TOO MANY PITCHERS,
SAYS JIMMY RYAN
Veteran Twirler Expresses Opinion
That Baseball Is Not
Improving
Special to The Tclcgrnhh

Philadelphia, Jan. 4.-Jimmy RYAN,
tho old-time player, believes baseball
is going back to the system of the old
days when five pitchers were all club
could carry.
"Stallings has amply demonstrated
that the former scheme was BEST
says Ryan. When I was with the
Chicago Colts, Callahan, Clark Griffith
and a third pitcher would work in
turn. You could always select the
twirler for the next game.
I'VE had a couple of pitchers on the
bench for relief duty. but no more.
AT present we find clubs with ten
and more twirlers on the payroll,
when three or four are actually doing
all the work.
What is the result? Why, these
regulars are liable to be fretty because
they have to perform the heavy tasks
and at the same time see eight or nine
men sitting on the bench drawing pay
and performing no actual labor in
championship games.
Instead of Il dozen high priced men
stepping on each others toes. ] be-
ileve that the day is coming when six
will be the limit any club carries.
Back in the eighties when | was
pitching John Clarkson. another fell
low and myself would do the bulk of
the work. And it didn't hurt us any,
either.
at was seldom one heard a pitcher
say he was feeling bad then or had a
kink in his arm. He had to get out
and work or lose his job.
Hard work never hurt any ball
player. You see what it did for the
Boston Braves. 1t won them a world S
championship"

international League
May Be Major Farm

Philadelphia, Jan. 4.-Within the
next few days it is expected that the
International League will decide def
nitely upon a circuit for 1915. AT
present there seems little doubt that
Richmond, Va, will replace Balti-
more, and that Syracuse, N. Y, will
supplant Jersey City.
There is n possibility Of the fran
chises of the circuit all passing into
the hands of major league magnates.
in which event the circuit would be
continued as farms for the surplus
talent that will have to be cut adrift
by the first of May. AS it is, with the
major league rosters pared to the
bone, the majors may find great diff
ficulties in disposing of surplus talent
unless they own their own farms.

pictures of the European War will be
shown by the Popular Motion Picture
Company, of which Thomas r. Hoyne
is general manager, for the first time
here at the Majestic, beginning to-
night, with matinees tomorrow anu
Wednesday. These pictures were
taken by Edwin f. Weigle, a staff
photographer of the Chicago Tribune,
under contract between that nows-
paper and the Belgian Government. The
conditions upon which the govern
metal authorities allowed the Tribune
to have these pictures of actual war
fare was that 80 per cent. of the sale
of the films be given to the Belgian
Red Cross Society. Mr.. Weigle, at the
risk of his life, went to the front with
the Belgian army and was present dur
ing some of the most serious battlos
and bombardments in October. Despite
the hazardous enterprise in which he
was engaged he was able to secure and
develop $500 feet of the most amazing
moving picture films that have ever
been offered to the public. These pic
lures were brought to this country and
first exhibited in Chicago and week
later in New York, and in both cities
at the present time they arc daily
