BOTH LEAGUES PROFIT
BY FRANCHISE CHANGE

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. Both
the National and Federal league teams
here will profit by the shifting of the
Kansas City franchise in the Federal
league TO Newark or New York, in
the opinion of Federal league powers
here.
1T will mean for one thing" said
Rebel Cakes, that with another east
ern club in the circuit Pittsburgh will
be placed where il belongs-in the
western division. Though a member
of the western circuit or the national
league, Pittsburgh has been listed as
an eastern club under the federal cir
cult. The result has been to cause a
great conflict in playing dates When
the national league clubs were playing
at home the federal sent its western
teams to the east to avoid conflicts as
far as possible but this ARRANGEMENT
made the pirates and rebels plays at
home at the same time. Under the
new schedule there will be fewer con-
flicts here which ought TO help both
clubs"

DODGER PITCHER
CANNED BECAUSE
He AIDED MATES
''Big Ed" ReuIbaCh Took Too
Much Interest in Welfare of
Players and Came Into Dis
favor of Owner.
BY Frank G. Menke.

NEW YORK, Fen. y. - BlB EQ
Reulbach stands out today as a nvIns,
breathing example Of what may hap
pen TO a hireung OF organized base
ball who looks out for his own inter-
ests and those of his fellow hirelings.
Big Ed" was canned" by Charles
Hercules Ebbets OF Brooklyn, New
York, not because he was through
as a pitcher, bul mainly because of
these two little things:
l. AS an official OF the Baseball
Players fraternity Big Ed" did his
darndest TO bring about better cOndl-
tions for the players at the sacrifice
OF the magnates
,. "Big Ed" has had a warm spot
in his heart for the Feds and very
frequently told the boss, Charles Her
cules, that he thought the Feds were
regular fellows.
Didn't Keep Peace.
HAD Big Ed" kept the peace as
far as the Feds were concerned and
had ne been less active as d fTaterni-
" man, ne still would be on the bod
gers roster. But he didn't and there
fore Charles Hercules injected the
canning fluid into Edward and sent
him on his way.
The Feds made Reulbach a big Of
fer last winter but Ebbets met that
offer Not only did he meet it but
he waited to hook up Reulbach TO "A
five year contract. But ReulbaCh
said:
"One year-that's all"
Later Reulbach told US:
81 don't want TO hook myself up TO
Ebhets for the rest Of my days, 1
want % be a free agent after 1914
so 1 can deal with whom L please"
Charles Herzog. manager Of them
there Reds. seems to be set on cap
turing all the catchers in sight. He
landed the flirting Charlie Doom a
short time back and lays claim TO Ivy
Wingo, one time OF the Cardinals.
The Feds also claim Wingo but
Charles says he has a better claim
and that Ivy Will cling 10 him.

In addition TO this brace of back
stops. HorZOg has a Cuban gent named
Gonzales. or something like that, the
veteran Tom Clarke, and "A squad of
young fellows who assert that they

THE arm of Chris Mathewson is
gone" remarks one National league
ball player That may be true. but
Chris hasn't lost his dome. People
around certain parts of the country
think Chris has been pitching his
arm for the last two or three years.
That's an optical illusion
still Uses Head
The old time power and cunning
left Matty's arm a few years ago and
Chris has been pitching his head ever
since for an average around 200. So
YOU see even though Matty has lost
his arm he will be listed among the
1915 Giant pitchers.
Dick Rudolph Of the Boston Braves
now deserves ranking alongside of
Chris Columbus, De Soto and other
discoveries.
Since the baseball season ended
Dick has been writing" newspaper
articles Just recently he announced
this very important discovery.
