ANOTHER MACK RECRUIT.
Wachtell, Star Central League Pitch
er, to Work for Athletics

FREDERICK, Md, February 12-
Connie Mack has invaded this peaceful
vicinity and lured away one of it's most
promising citizens in Wachtell, the star
pitcher of the Central League
The local boy pitched great ball in
the Central last year and was desired
by many of the big league scouts, but
Mack beat them all by purchasing his
release months ago. The news Just

| Willard has already put in severa
weeks at hard training and no doubt has
become accimate 10 conditions which
| prevail in that part of the country. In
cidentally he will continue his training
! until Il day before the bout and
| ought to be in the best possible condi-
tion. Willard may not be topnotcher
! but for all that he appears TO have a
chance to become the worlds champion
| Willard has much TO gain and nothing
| to lose in this bout. If he should win
| the title he will make a fortune in d
| very short time. for there is clamor for
a white champion.
There has been no application filed
with either of the major leagues by
Hank ODay, veteran umpire and man
ager. though it was believed that when
Hank severed his connections as man
aSer of the Cubs he was going back to
handling the indic9it tor.
But Hank apparently is going into re-
treineni so far as base ball is concerned
or he has some other mana gerial position
in view which has not yet developed
Hank would have been better off if
he had remained in the umpire end of
the game instead Of trying to manage.
Hank was hardly cut out for team
leader and by managing he probably
eliminated himself from chance of
making living as an umpire.
The Red Sox are going to have the
American League pennant cinched by
September /, according to Ty Cobb
This prediction ought to give encour-
agement to the other teams that have
pennant hopes, for star bail players are
much like champion fighters, they are
mighty poor hands at picking winners
Ty says: "Of course. I believe Detroit
will show improvement in 1919 But
we have weak spots that Will have to
be filled" one of these weak spots is
Ty's temper, which cost the Tigers any
number of games last season.
The deal which Jimmy Callahan was
handed by Comiskey does not seem
fair. Callahan managed the White SoX
for several seasons when the material
was lacking to give him a chance to
bring the team well up in the race.
There We're no Eddie Collinses the
roster. In fact. all during the Callahan
regime the material on hand, barring a
fair pitching staff, was somewhat
mediocre.
1t is generally recognized that the
acquisition of Eddie Collins will make
the White SoX pennant contenders.
There have been many instances where
the addition of single player has
made Il world of difference in the artis-
tic achievements of a ball team. Col
Inns may prove this, but Rowland, the
new manager, will get the credit, and
he is having better team handed him
than has held forth on the White Sox
grounds for several years.
Ordinarily when bah club arranges
for the sale of couple of it's players
it insists on the players doing their
part by signing with the club they
are sold to. Such conditions. however,
do not seem to prevail in the case of
Pipp and High. the two Detroit re-
cruits who were supposed to have been
sold to the New York Yankees. Neither
of the players has signed with Dono-
can, and judged on the tenor of the
reports of their stand in the Detroit
papers, both will be welcomed at Jen-
nings' training place at Gulfport this
spring.
There appears to have been sud-
den change of opinion by the Detroit
management anent the ability of the

Barney Dreyfuss Says National Com
mission Should Rule on Placing
Club in Bronx.

NEW YORK, February 12-Barney
National League club and one of the
shrewdest students of base ball law to
be found among the magnates, declared
yesterday that the International
League might place a team in the
Bronx in spite of the opposition of
Harry y. Hampstead.
IF | were president of the Interna-
tional League and wished to establish
my business i'll the Bronx nobody would
keep me OUT is the way Barney put
il.
ITO begin WITH" he resumed, Mr.
Barrow made a mistake in the method
by which he sought his ends. He
should have appealed directly to the
national commission and not to the
National League. His case-so far as
base ball law is concerned-is gov
erned by section 3 of the national
agreement. This specifically states
that major league territory cannot be
redistributed without a ma jority vote
of both the National and American cir
cult club owners.
Majority Favors Move.
'Presuming that the American
League should be favorable to a trans
fer of the Jersey City club to the
Bronx, the president of the Giants
would be powerless to block the plan
if five National League club owners
gave the word. ] do not wish 10 speak
officially, but I am sure that at least
four of my associates would cast no
obstacle in Barrow's way. Personally
! believe the International League has
every right to operate beyond the
Harlem river if it is willing to shoul-
der the risk.
Il operate National League club
in Pittsburgh. But my franchise never
has and never will give me monopoly
of that territory. I could not through
process of law restrain anybody from
attempting a rival promotion: 1 am
protected from possible opposition on
the part of organized base ball simply
because Of the national agreement
