HAS
own TROUBLES
Chicago South siders At
tempting. to Disrupt Har-
mony Among Officials

Chicago, Jan. 11.-Baseball fans on
the South Side assert there is a de-
liberate attempt underway to wreck
the pennant hopes of the White Sox.
The publication of report recently
that the reason for the long delay in
naming Clarence Rowland as his sue
cessor was because President Comis-
key wanted to get. John McGraw in
case there was trouble between him
and the New York National league
club is quoted as proof
President Comiskey Of the Sox re-
fuses to talk about the affair more
than to deny its truth. He did admit
that he had made up his mind some
weeks before the National league
meeting at New York that Rowland
would be the manager of the Sox
again and that he did admit the fact
to some friends at that time.
The fact that McGraw has a hold
over contract that does not expire un-
til the end Of this year is generally
known. The only object in the pub
lication Of the old story again ut this
time, say friends of Comiskey, is to
cause a rumpus between Comiskey
and Rowland. This object has De-
defeated, however, but the publication
of the story again has caused a gen.
eral discussion OF the animus behind
it.
There have been attempts made in
other days to interfere with the affairs
Of the White Sox from the same
source.
McGraw has never been in good
standing with the American league
since the day he sold out the Balti-
more team and jumped to the New
York National league club the next
day. The very thought Of his coming
back into the league at the present
time is more distasteful to the head of
the league than to have George STALL
ings named as the head Of the leading
team Of the league and Stallings has
been fired out Of the league twice.
That the story was inspired. is tho
general belief, among those friends
of the Sox management. The reason
for 1t, Is still somewhat of mystery.
but the same tactics have been tried
on other occasions when the White
Sox looked like 4pennant winners.

ARTIST NOT COMING
japanese Tennis Player Forced to
Abandon Trip to Manila and
May Not Visit q. S.

Chicago, Jan. 11.-Devotes Of ten
MS may not have a chance to see the
sensational Japanese player, Ichiya
kumagae, play here next summer.
Kumagae alreadv has given up a trip
to Manila because of business and It
is believed it may interfere with an
other American tour.
In letter from Toxic, Iachishiro
Mikam1 writes that Kumagae could
not compete in the tournament for the
championship Of the orient at Manila.
This Is the event in which George
NJ. Church and Harold Throckmor.
ton. who are now in the far east. were
expected to try conclusions again with
the little Japanese expert whose fine
playing won him fifth place in the
ranking for 1916. Mikami's letter
says:
"Kumagae could not make a trip
to ManilaN on this occasion as he has
promised to take a position in ono Of
the largest banks in Toxic, though he
likes to play at Manila"
Telling OF the welcome extended to
kumaga and himself upon their ar
rival In Toxic, Nikami says.
I'VE had many dinner parties of
one sort and another during the first
two or three weeks after we returned.
Among them we had one regular
American style dinner party when we
were invited by Nir. Kennedy, one of
the leading American citizens in
Toxic. We had pretty near thirty
guests on that night and only fve
Japanese werc present, so that I felt
for a short time as il were in Amer
ica."

MAJORS MUST Be
HEARD IN CASE CA
Minor Leagues Must Sub
NIT Their Trouble to High
Lords of the Diamond.

Chicago, Jan. 11.-Before the minor
leaguers are relieved from the diff
cul'ies that now are besetting them,
the sixteen club owners Of the two
majors will have to pass on the case.
Ban johnson, American league head
and member OF the national commits
sion, made this known yesterday when
he said that the supreme court Of
baseball had already decided lust
which demand should be granted.
These recommendation will be nut
before the ,nagnates and If acceptable
tie small fry will be able to resume
business with renewed vigor.
The recent commission meeting at
Cincinnati marked the change in sen
t!ment among the members Of the gu
preme board. After listening to yar.-
ous appeals the three members reach
ed a decision as to what should be
done. The changes favored were the
redtstricting Of minor league terri
tory. the creation OF a board to pass
on cases involving a minor club, etc.
The elimination Of the draft on class
AA leagues will not be among the
recommendations that go before the
major owners.
The majors will take UP the prob
lem at their annual schedule meetings
to be held next month at New York.
They probably will dispose Of them
in a hurry.

GRID LEAGUE
DISCOURAGED
Eastern Critics do not Be-
lieve Professional Foot
ball Will Pay.

New York. Jan. 11.-Eastern foot
ball authorities are extremely doubt
full regarding the financial success Of
professional football league backed
by baseball magnates or in fact any
similar organization. While any and
all the big league club arrangements
stand ready to rent the baseball parks
parties there is not the slightest evil
dence that the magnates would dclve
into their money bags and bring forth
the coin necessary to establish a
league of elevens, such as has been
suggested recently in the middle west
Professional football is nothing new
in the east and the financial frost that
followed its Introduction in this sec
ton has not been forgotten, despite
the fact that it is seventeen years
since the scheme was first tried out
in the state Of Pennsylvania. The
game of football is so peculiarly in
terwoven with college and school ira
dttions and sentiment that It fails to
flourish in any other soil. This was
clearly demonstrated in the early
nineties when professional elevens and
vania with teams playing for Pitts
burgh, Philadelphia, Latrobe, Home
stead and Greenburg.
The eastern college football field
was fine combed for star players just
graduated and the personnel Of the
various elevens read like an ALL
American combination. Salaries
ranging from $500 to $1,500 per sea-
son were paid with all expenses and
hospital treatment guaranteed in case
of accident. Famous players were
attracted by the big money offered
and the teams played football Of the
most thrilling and ultra type. Among
those who figured in the professional
games were the Indian brothers, Be-
mis- and Hawley Pierce; Dave F'ultz,
Roller. later a wrestler; Gammons;
Wallace and many more, some of
whom had been selected for All-Amer-
lean teams while still undergraduates.
The first few games drew fairly
large gatherings Of spectators, but the
novelty soon wore off and the attend
ance rapidly dropped away until at
the end of the season the hackers of
the clubs were forced to go into their
pockets to make up the deficit. Officers
of the Philadelphia American and Ma
tional League club financed tho
Quaker City teams while the big steel
companies and athletic clubs were in
terested in the other elevens of the
group. which continued for two or
three years, with constantly changing
combinations. before the promoters
finally gave up the struggle for pop
ular support.

from Eddie Kane, who handles the

sr An important engagement on Mon

Manager Kane also stated that
many propositions to match Mike
Gibbons with Les Darcy have been
coming in and that overy possible cf-
fort is being made to get the an
tipodean interested. In speaking Of Il
possible match. Mr.. Kane said:
'"It looks very much like the Aus
tralian champion does not care to
mingle IL great deal with Mike. We
are going to New York shortly, how
ever. and will force Darcy to either

The statement made by Kane de-
picts the eagerness OF the Phantom
to take on the much touted battlcr
from the antipodes. Darcy has been
dodging contracts hurled at him with
Mixes signature, and although he
claimed, while i'll Australia, that 1t
was Gibbons he was after. he has

BILLIARD SCANDAL UP

Charges.

New. York. Jan. '11.-At the annual
meeting Of the National Association
of Amateur Billiard players at the
Amateur Billiard club, charges Of pro-
fessional.sm were 1ruade against Cor
win Huston of Detroit and Charles
Heddon of DoWAeiac, Mich, two Of
the most proficient Sbalk line experts
in the middle west e Both hub con-

pearance two years at the tournament
in Philadelphia.
Whether the charges will be sub
stantiated or not remains with the
executive committee Of the association
The delegates voted to leave the de-
cision to that body. It is alleged that
Heddon and Huston are financially
interested in the Sweeney-Huston bill
lard room in Detroit.
Under the amateur rule the charge
that the two men. are interested in
the room is sufficient evidence to
cause an investigation. On the other
hand. 1t is not absolutely binding that
the men be declared professionals,
even though their connection with the
room is proved. That is a decretion-
ary power, lodged with the executive
committee in this case.
