Players to Divide Spoils.
BY JACK vEIOCK.

New York, Dec. 12,-Club owners
of the International League and the
American Assertion believe that the
plan for an inter-league series be-
tween the two circuits during the fall
OF 1917 will be a big drawing card In
both leagues.
The plan was formally adopted here
today at a joint meeting of club
laying schedules Of both leagues and
the details Of the proposed series
we're agreed upon with the exception
Of the opening dates Of the regular
laying schedules OF bothp leagues and
the date on which the inter-leaguc
series Is to commence.
After a confab Of several hours this
afternoon at the Hotel Imerial Presi-
League. who Is generally given credit
for being the father Of the plan. an
nounced that the series will be played.
The Eastern or International
League clubs will first invade tho
West. visiting each town in the Ameri-
can Association, and each club will
play a series of twenty-four games.
This visit OF the International League
clubs Westward will commence about
August S.
Each team will play three games in
every American Association city after
which Americn Association clubs will
jump East to play like series in
International League territory.
Believing that the interest among
the ball players would be enhanced
by enlarging the original purse, the
club owners voted to make the pool
1925 per club, a total OF $4,000 for
the complete series. This money will
be divided among the players Of the
league which wins the majority of
games.

Brown Regrets
Taking Colgate
Over Columbia

Providence, r. l., Dec. 12.-Had
the Brown football schedule for 1915
been drafted according to tentative
plans, undergraduates here feel GER
tain that Coach Robinson's eleven and
not the Pittsburg team would have
attained the Eastern championship of
this past season. On the original
draft. Columbia was to have been
Browns opponent for the last game
of the year, on Thanksgiving Day, in
stead of Colgate. Negotiations had
been pending between DR.. Fred w.
Marvel, in charge of athletics at the
local university. and DR.. George l.
Maylan. head of the department Of
physical educa ton at Columbia, and
arrangements had been virtually
completed when Colgate was su bsti-
tuted for Columbia. because of Coach
.Bankhart's willingness to play at
Providence, whereas the Columbia
authorities insisted on the game being
staged in New York city
Last year Columbia's record OF 1ve
victories and no defeats seemed to
give the Light Blue and White eleven
a position comparable with that of
the BrunoniaRs on the gridiron, and
as the New Workers. were DESTROYS of
including stronger teams on their
schedule. the arrangement with
Brown seemed ideal However, as 1t
turned out, Columbia was clearly out
c1assed this fall in football and there
lis little doubt in the minds of Provi-
dence undergraduates that the pro-
posed game In New York would have
resulted in a Brown victory by an ad
infinitnm score.

An unusual condition will proba IDLY
present itself on the Washington team
next season. unless present plans mis-
carry. Jameson. who came to the
club at the start Of the 1916 cam
paign highly touted as an outnelder.
will in all probability take his turn
on the rubber Sam Rice, who came
to the team at the same time highly
touted as a pitcher. Is practically
certain to hold down a berth in the
outfield.
Four years ago the star battery
of the Buffalo club OF the Interna-
tional League was Jameson and
Schang. Jameson for two years was
regarded as one of the best southpaws
In the organization. Each year he
finished considerab bly, better than the
average of his club. In 1912 he
pitched $50 ball. while his club fail
ed to get an even break on the sea-
son, Jameson showed unusual strength
at the bat, department In which
Buffalo was then lacking, although
well fortified in the pitching end OF
the game. Jameson was converted
into an outfieider. For two seasons
he batted better than 500. his work
causing the washington club to secure
his services. The sale of Boehling
means Griffith must develop another
left-hander. He has hoped that
Jameson may prove of greater worth
as a pitcher than he would as an out
fielder
Rice came highly touted as most
promising pitcher. who could in ad-
dition hit the ball In the Virginia
League in 1915 Rice had pitched 500
ball for n club without home. that
played only a trifie better than 800.
At the bat he had an average better
than 800. doing considerable pinch
hitting when not pitching. Rice early
showed much pitching ability. but at
the bat he doomed up even more
promising. Before the season was
very old Manager Griffith began
grooming Rice for the outfield. The
general opinion in American League
circles Is that Rice is destined to
shine at the bat. He appears to be a
natural hitter. a left-handed bats
man who is not going to be much
troubled by southpaw pitching.
