One of the surprises Of the work
outs was the fact that Pennsylvania
did not appear to- be bothered by the
wet field, while the Oregon players
seemed unable to hit their best stride.
It was expected that a soggy field and
wet bail would give the Northern
eleven an advantage, but the Quakers
diversified their style Of play and
handled the wet ball yesterday with
perfect accuracy. On the other hand,
Oregon did q lot Of fumb1ing and ,Bez-

CUB STARS NOT
SUCCESSFUL WHEN

i, Players who Were members Of the
famous Cub baseball machine seem to
be hoe looed as managers. Several OF
them have tried their hand at direct
ing clubs, but to date only one has
succeeded, and he is Pat Moran. who
led the Phillies triumphantly to the
pennant goal in the National league
in 1915. The others in their efforts 10
be Connie Macks. John McGraws and
George StaNngses have fallen by the
wayside.
The failures Of the former Cub play
ers have been so regular that one is
forced to the conclusion that star
PLAYERS dc not make successful man
ayers. 1t seems that way from the
luck that JOHNNY King. Johnny Evers.
Joe Tinker, Mordecai Brown, Jimmy
Sheckard and Tommy Leach have
had. They all have had managerial
ambitions, have been tested and found
not to possess the proper metal.
Years ago. when the famous ma
chine directed by Frank Chance was
together. one would almost have wa
gered literally that every man on the
team would have been a big hit as a
leader Every man Chance had under
him was a star. He played baseball
without any direct orders from the
manager, because he knew the game,
and knew what to do at the proper
time. Frank Schultz was about the
only one who was not selected to be
the pilot of a major league team.

San Francisco, Dec. 30 THE Pacific
States Tennis association yesterday
announced a number Of attractive
tournaments for the new year. The
most important, aside from the fix
lures, will be an East VS.. West team
competition that has proved SO popu-
lar since inaugurated in 1915. Los
Angeles has been definitely selected
as the scene of the matches, and DR..
Sumner Hardy announced that the
date will likely be the first week in
March, with return matches III the
East in August or September.
George M. Church and Harold A.
Throckmorton, who are on a tour of
the Orient, will be back by that, time
and will represent the East in the
matches at Los Angeles. Two other
players. will also likely be brought
out, to bring up the team to its full
strength of four men. The West will
have q similar number of representa-
tives.
The selections have not been made
as yet, but Billy Johnson, Peck Grif-
fin, JAhnny Strachan and Maurice
McLoughlin will undoubtedly be
picked Four matches will be played
in singles and two in doubles. The
East won in overwhelming fashion
this season, and the local stars are

MEETING.
TUESDAY TO SEE
: ABOUT CIRCUIT

New Haven, Dec. 30-President
James T. Collins of the New Haven
baseball club yesterday received no.
LITIGATION of the postponed meeting OF
the Eastern League which will be held
in the Cooley House, Springfield, next
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The
Strengthened out at that time as. the
directors feel that Joseph Sullivan,
who is Indebted to the league to the
extent of<about $4,000, has had suf-
ficient time to make known his plans
At the recent meeting Sullivan was
warned that he would be given just
one more chance to make good or
withdraw.
Very few plans have actually been
made by the Eastern League for next
season, but it has been definitely
agreed, upon to switch the playing pro-
gram from the 1916 style. There
will be no long stays at home and no
long trips away.
n The ambition will be to have every
club home two days week anyway,
with four the next, or if possible,
three days at home and as many
away. Tho circuit will be shorter
than last season and the mileage less,
though the league has yet to an
nounce definitely it's lineup for the
coming season.
There is little doing in Eastern
league baseball at present, and little
information will be Cleaned until
Tuesdays meeting. A good guess is
that the Eastern will be made up of
New Haven, Springfield, Hartford,
Bridgeport, New London, Worcester,
Lawrence and one other city One
man states that he. would be willing
to place club in Waterbury for such
circuit, but he wants to know more
about present conditions in Water
bury.
There is talk Of other cities. The
feeling is that, Portland, Lynn and
other cities on the Eastern 'front.'"
will get together in a circuit Of their
own. Changes are ins the wind for
baseball in general, but the situation
is uncertain and nobody is saying
much.

OFFER CARRICAN $4,000 TO
MANAGE BOSTON RED S0x
New Owner Has Conference With Leader and Is
Hopeful of Landing Him.

Portland Union station on his wa,
back to Boston, he admitted that ne
had made Carrigan good sized offer,
but refused to state the sum. Carri-
gan himself said that he expected to
give his answer next week, but would
vouchsafe nothing beyond this
Frazee declared that while be was
not any too confident that Carrigan
would sign a 1917 contract, yet he
had more hope than any time pre-
vious that the famous Maine pilot
would guide the worlds champions
again next year. He said he expected
to have a decision from Carrigan
within reasonably short time.
ut was the first time that I had
met Carrigan," commented the new
owner, land I was much impressed
by his personality There's one thing
of which I am now satisfied, and that
is that Bill Carrigan was perfectly
sincere when he said he had retired
from baseball. He is not at all like
the average ball player, holding out
for more money. In fact, the money
had nothing to do with his determine
alton to quit the game"

Binzen and O'Boyle
Meet Today in Finals
to Decide Tennis Title

New York. Dec. 30-Elliott Binzen,
of Fordham university, who is the
present title holder, came through to
the final round of the national junior
indoor tennis championship yesterday
at the Seventh regiment armory, and
his opponent will be H. B. O'Boyle,
of Georgetown university. who also
came successfully through the draw.
Binzen had a lot more trouble in
reaching the last bracket than the
Georgetown player had, and it looks
possible to see a change of the title
today when the two youngsters meet.
The play yesterday was the best
seen during the tournament, and the
finalists showed that they have a lot
of good tennis in them. O'Boyle is
not such a hard hitter as some OF
the other players, but he is a good
strategist. He plays with his head
as much as with his racquet and he
has shown ability to outmanoeuvre
the rival players. He has met Binzen
twice in college matches and the re-
suit was a victory for each.
