Expect IS Five
Man Teams In
City Tournament

Officials of the South Bend Bowl
ing association acted wisely when
they postponed the annual city
tournament for a week as the
number of entrants for the annual
event has been doubled since last
Saturday the original date set for
the closing of entries. The entries
will positively close at midnight,
Saturday. Dec. %. and play will be-
gin on Wednesday. Jan. End.
While the rush Of the holidays
was a serious contender in the dila-
toriness of the bowlers the an
nouncement of the refund Of $43,5O
from the American Bowling con-
gress, which amount will be added
to the prize list, proved a stimu-
liant in getting considerable entries
and it is not at all improbable that
in the neighborhoOd of rs five-men
teams will contest in the big event.
The tournament this year will be
a strictly handicap affair, giving all
of the players. whether new begin
ners or veterans at the game, an
equal chance to pull down the big
prizes.

Cub Boss Sends
For Help To Put
Over Big Deal

CHICAGO, Dec. 28-UnaDle to
get rid of his $25O.OOO. Pres't
Weeghman of the Cubs has sent for
Mgr Fred Mitchell. The north side
magnate thinks that Fred will have
some original ideas on spending it
and the anager will have a chance
as soon as he arrives in town. which
will be Saturday.
II haven't been able 10 complete
two deals which ] have had on the
fire, said Mr. Weeghman, and l
think that Mitchell might help me
out. He has certain ideas about
players we should have and when
he gets here I believe we can close
up the deals"
pres't Weeghman asserted that
he did not know whether the Roger
Hornsby deal was on or off. He ad-
mitted that he did not get much
satisfaction while i'm St Louis. but
would not admit that there was no
possibility of getting the well-ad-
vertised shortstop
The boss of the cubs had hoped
to land Charley Herzog and he
spoke in confident tones about
Buck. Still ne admitted that he
had made no progress. which is also
the case with the hair-hitting out
fielder whom he was ansling for.
A fight will be made to retain
the services of Vic SAFER, who is
claimed by Barney Dreyfuss of
Pittsburgh Mr.. Weeghman said
he had heard nothing official from
Pres't Tener in regard TO the play
er, but that he would not let him
go 20 the Pirates without a fight.
I'VE may not need SAFER very
badly next season. said Weegh-
man. "but / don't want anybody TO
put anything over on me-"
Mr. Weeghman intimated that
the placing of Larry Doyle at first
base might solve the inheld prob
lem. but in that case Herzog or
some other man must be obtained
for the keystone sack.

C0MMISH MUST DECIDE
ON SOME WAR CLAUSE

News Times Special Service:
NEW YORK. Dec. 28.-The most
involved problem to come before
the annual meeting of the nationa.
commission at Cincinnati on Jan. z
Is the new form Of players con-
tract 10 be adopted by organized
ball for the next season. On &C
count of the unsettled conditions it
is believed that some kind Of war
time clause will be inserted to pro-
tect club owners in the event that
the championship season is inter-
rupted by the war. This new clause
was discussed by both the National
and American leagues at their re
cent meetings. but the matter was
placed in the hands of the national
commission.
The many legal entanglements in
which baseball has found itself as IA
result Of the Federal league inva-
sion showed that the old players
contract included several clauses
which were open 20 litiga ton. At
tOrneys for organized baseball have
drawn up a new document which is
aimed to avoid any legal complica-
tons.
Although the movement is OPP
posed by the more prosperous clubs
in both leagues, there is a strong
sentiment among the majority Of
the clubs 70 make a general cut in
PLAYERS salaries. The new clause
which is now being considered by
the legal advisers of the national
commission will make some sort of
provision that the club owners may
be protected against loss in their
contractual obligations in the event
the season ends before the
scheduled time The club owners
do not anticipate that the war will
necessitate any such radical action,
but those who carry the high priced
contracts want to be on the safe
side.

Many from Missouri" and elsewhere
want to be shown why Senator
Gum shoe" Stone voted for a ma
tional dry" zone when it was carried
in the u. S. Senate August by vote
of SIS to 90 Some prohibitionists are
closely inspecting "the woodpile'' for
some dark explanation. The most
plausible one is that Senator Stone is
taking his turn in such a bone dry
bluff, as was twice offered, once car
ried, by his colleague, Senator Reed.
It should be remembered that the pres
ent prohibition amendment makes no
exception for personal use" 1t is In
substance the same that the Republi-
can House leader, Representative J. r.
Mann, offered in place of the original
Hobson amendment Those who read
liquor papers carefully are aware that
they confidently rely on a reaction be-
cause they believe proi1ibittonists are
mostly secret drinkers who desire to
abolish saloons but keep sideboards or
side doors. Whatever Senator Stones
motive. piohibitionists have again
called the bluff.
