BOB HEDGES INVESTED $4,000:
QUITS BASE BALL WORTH $5OO,OOO
Has Been Panned for Seemingly Inexcusable
Errors, But No One Doubts His
Business Ability.

ST. LOUIS. December 2..-The Browns
have been sold to Phil Dec. Ball, for
mer owner of the Slofeds, and the first
payment has been made to Col. Robert
Lee Hedges. Ball has announced this.
The sale price of the Browns was
100000. This includes the holding
company which owns the grounds and
the improvements on it and leases it
to the base ball club at an annual
rental of S21 900 a year, also the base
ball company proper, which owns the
franchise, the players and all other
assets.

Branch Hickey, former manager of the
Browns, will be retained by the new
owners in some capacity. although
Fielder Jones will be manager. If Ball
himself elects to be president 1t rs
probable Hickey will become chief

Hedges. long dubbed 'Tail-end Bob

can League with the first base ball

Browns have been the joke team of
the circuit. and although Hedges has
been panned time and time again for
seemingly ineXcusable errors, no one
doubts his business ability.
He was the first magnate to abolish
bars from the grandstand, and one of

M0GULS EXPECTED
TO RETAIN SOMERS
American League to Meet
Wednesday in Cleveland to
Settle Clubs Affairs.
METHOD OF ENDING WAR
HELD BEST FOR GAME
Peace Came in Time to Prevent
Jumpers From Being Barred by
Organized Base Ball.
BY J. ED GRILLO.

According to a dispatch from Chicago,
a meeting of the American League will
be held in Cleveland Wednesday, at
which time the future of the Cleveland
club will be determined. 1t is likely
that only the western clubs will be
represented at this> gathering, for
neither President Minor nor Manager
Griffith of the local club has received
auv notice from Ban Johnson to be in
attendance there. -gt
The question of whether Charles
Somers will continue at the head OF the
Cleveland club is to be decided at TINS
meeting, and it is learned from re-
liable source that it is more than ike
ly that Somers again will be In 1ull
charge of the club next spring.
The American League wants Somers
to remain in the game. He was chosen
as the leagues vice president at the
annual meeting a few weeks ago, ana
this is taken to mean that the league
will stand by him.
There are certain members OF the
American League who believe the Fed
eral I,,asue should have been allowed to
starve. 1t is argued that the Manhattan
invasion was a gigantic bluff that the
Federal League would never have opened
the 1916 season There seems to be
flavor, of truth in this contention, espe-
cially since the news,has leaked out that I
the Ward interests withdrew several
weeks ago.
Such a coid-blooded finish could not
have resulted in an improvement upon
existing conditions, in the opinion or
great ma jority of base ball men, Ger
tainly it would have tended to make nsh
of Federal League magnates and 1owi OF
their employees. For such hn1sh would
have meant the blacklist for all deserters
from organized base BAN, even while the
ma jor league clubs were dangled in the
ewes of Federal League capitalists. There
is a grand chance now for the club own
ers of the National and American leagues
to see that the major league field starts
the 1916 season better balanced than ever
before. The powers who arranged peace
owe at least this much to the public.
News dispatches are to the erect
that Pitcher Earl Moseley is the first OF
the Feds to be sold, Cincinnati getting
him. That transaction of itself proves
| that former affiliations do not count
Moseley, when he was in organized
base ball, was with the Boston Amer
leans. Now he goes to another CLUB
in another league. With this as a
precedent, it is assured that Kauff and
other stars of the Feds will go to the

of good material in the club. and it is
claimed by it's members that some
strong teams can be developed in all

One of Gallaudet's former players has
made good as an all-round coach in a
school in Alabama. Moore. who played
quarterback for the Kendall Greeners
for several years.. is teaching and
coaching all the teams in a small school
at Talledega, Ala. Last fall he de-
veloped SO strong a foot ball team that
all other teams in that class refused to
play his eleven, and he had to go with
out contest Thanksgiving day. 1t
might be mentioned IN, this connection
that Gallaudet might do worse than to
get Moore as coach of its teams. He
was much greater factor in the sue
cess of Gala udet foot ball than he was
generally given credit for. and he un-
doubtedly was one of the ''headiest"
quarterbacks in the south.
And while speaking of Gallaudet it
is well to say that no positive selec-
tion of foot ball coach for next year
has been made. There is a great senti-
ment among the student body for the
return of Wayne Hart, and a determined
effort probably will be made to get him
to take charge of the squad again. One
or two others also have been men,

Organized base ball should now pro-
tect itself against further invasions by
those who believe that fortunes can
be made out of the game. A serious
mistake was made couple of years
ago when one section of Chicago was
uncovered. The American Association
should have been allowed to put a
club in the North Side of the Windy
city, where the Federal League located.
This gave the outlaws an opening and
made disastrous war possible. Now
if the Cubs go to the North Side it
might be good idea to allow the
American Association to play on the
West Side.
Hank O'Day is to umpire in the Ma
tional League next year. 1t is reported
