struck America three weeks ago

To Release Thousands
II asked Gen. Funston after leav-

The general. whose persplring
head was leaving patches OF damp
ness on the leather back of the
huge chair in which he sat, leaned
forward, saying earnestly: "Of

their dependents were suffering,
and havo so many requests for

prove necessary to release several
thousands within tho next few

These men are given 3is cents

was spent in bringing them to the

RESERVE CLAUSE in
BASEBALL CONTRACTS
To Be Chief Subject of Club Owners
at Meeting of National League.

New York. Dec S-one Of the chief
matters to come before the club owners
of the National League at their meet
ing here, and likewise the American
League magnates at their Chicago meet
ing will be consideration of the new
form of contract drawn up by the Ma
tional Commission.
President John K Tener. of the Ma
tional League. who returned here from
Chicago and Pittsburgh to make ready
for the meeting of his league next Tues
day had little to say regarding the new
form Of contract except that the Ma
| tional Commission is satisfied that /
will be acceptable to the club owners
of both big leagues.
! There will be a reserve clause in the
new contracts as well as there was in
the old ones. President Tener says that
without the reserve clause the link that
binds the various leagues and clubs to-
gether would be lost The reserve clause
not only protects the rights of major
league club owners, but the humber
nagnates as we'll Without 1t the best
players in the country could be tempted
to the larger cities. and there would be
no opposition Of the teams made up Of
all-star players
With regard to the squawk made by
the Players Fraternity, which is demand
ing that players be given contracts which
call for salary to continue when injured
in the service of the club. President Tener
said:
It have heard of only two casesSIn
the maotr leagues where contracts CIV
ing the club owner the right to stop
players salary when he became in
jured were in vogue. and l fully be-
lieve that these contracts got out through
some mistake"
Asked regarding the chance of the
National Leaguers taking up plans to
change the worlds series rules, Gov
Tener said:
There will be plans for several i'm
portant changes in the conduct of the
worlds series, but until such plans are
either adopted or rejected I can say
little OF them. believe that there will
be a new rule governing the division
Of players receipts and also. the prices
Of admission may be touched on"

THOMAS ]. HICKEY is
NAMED new PRESIDENT
St. Paul Man Elected President of As
sociation in Place of Chivington.

Indianapolis Ind, Dec. S-Thomas ].
Hickey, of st. Paul, was elected presi-
dent OF the American Association today.
defeating President Tom Chivington by
vote of to 5. Manager Jack Hen
bricks. of the Indianapolis team, made
this announcement at ! 30 D. m, while
the magnates were still In session behind
closed doors.
Hickey's term at present Is for three
years. Owner Wathen, of Louisville,
turned the tide against Chivington, who
had the public endorsement of Ban
johnson. 1t is understood the vote wss
as follows:
For Hickey-CantilIon, Minneapolis:
Norton. st. Faul: Timme, Milwaukee;
Schoenberg, Columbus. and Wathen.
Louisville.
For Chivington-McGilI, indianapolis;
Tebeau, Kansas City; Bresnahan, Toledo.
Cantillon. of Minneapolis, led the fight
against the reelection of Chivington. It
appeared early that Owner Wathen, of
Louisville, held the balance of power in
the meeting. And Cantillon' was sure he
had Wathen's vote.
But behind the doings of the minor
league magnates was the iron hand Of
Ban johnson. of the American League
johnson had announced himself as favor
ing Chlvington's reelection.
After the smoke has cleared away the
magnates will get down to some real
business. They will debate the pro-
posal of a schedule of 112 games, closing
the season about August 5 and finishing
the season with international League
games A renewed demand for obedience
to 21-player limit and a cut in salaries
also were before the meeting.

Larry Lajoie's baseball days are over.
Never again will the big Frenchman
bring the stands at a major league park
to their feet with a resounding crack
from his famous bat. Never, again viii
the bleacherites cheer his uncanny held-
ing.
For twenty years Lajoie was a figure
in baseball and for sixteen Of these bat
ted over 800. his best year being 1901,
when he slugged .422.
Lajoie's contract with Connie Mack will
expire January l, and it is certain Mack
will not retain him, as he intends TO build
up his team with youngsters.
Larry has been drawing 5000 year
under a wartime contract. Only half
this amount has been paid by the Phila-
delphia club, Cleveland having assumed
half when Larry was traded to the Ath-
letics two years ago.
It is not thought likely any other ma
jor league club will sign Larry as his
salary demands are said to be too high.
For the same reason It is not probable
he will go to the minors.
But Lajoie will not have to worry about
the missing salary check. For many
years he has received big salaries and
he has invested thousands in real estate
from which he derives a large income.
Lajoie began his big league playing
with the Philadelphia club in 1896. There
is not a player left in baseball who was
playing when he started

would be the Cub manager next spring,

the stockholders too strong.
Weeghman is to start on a hunt for
