TENER OPPOSES PROPOSED
 MOVE TO SYNDICATE GAME
National League Against Pooling Players and Receipts Next Season Baseball Law Prevents Move
 Suggested By Ban Johnson

New York. Nov. 21.-The suggestion which has been made to the Ameri- can league owners to pool the players and receipts next season will be strongly opposed by the National league, according to a statement made by President John K. Tener yesterday.
 Tt is not in harmony with the spirit of baseoall.'' said President Tener. s"I do not believe that the American league intends taking any such action. I am quite sure that the National league club owners would not even consider such a move. In the first place the satisfactory plac- ing of the star players would be a difficult problem to decide, in fact it seems that it would be would be inn possible to accomplish it in a way which would be satisfactory to all clubs.''
 Other baseball men who talked about the plan were surprised at such a radical suggestion from a vet eran club owner like Charles A. Com iskey, the owner of the world cham pion White Sox For many years this general shifting of players has ben one feature of the game which the leagues have been trying to avoid. The sale or trade of star play CTS from weak clubs to stronger clubs has caused no end of trouble in base ball. and only a year, ago the Ma tionaI league passed an amendment forpidding the sale of, players from one club to another after a certain date in the season

MCBRIDE, VETERAN AT se

When man has spent sixteen years ir professional baseball he is entitled to be called a veteran of the game. even if he Is only thirty-six years old. Such Is the case with George F. Mo Bride, who was born in Milwaukee on Nov. 21. s1s1. It was in the City League of Milwaukee that he made his first reputation. Tn 19e2 he play ed third base for Milwaukee and Kan sas City. in the American Association, after. which he spent couple of sea- sons with the Western League, playing with the Peoria and St. Joseph clubs The Pirates drafted him from St. Joe in 1905, but Fred Clarke soon swap ped him to the Cardinals for Dave Brain. After that he was sent back to Kansas City, but in 1907 he was bought by Washington, with which outfit he has been playing shortstop ever since.

CALAMITY HOWLERS
 HURTING BASEBALL.

That baseball Is suffering from ca- lamity howlers is rapidly dawning on wide-awake baseball men. Garry Hermann, chairman of the National Commission and Charley Comiskey, owner of the worlds champion White sox, have both recently broken into print with remarks which are not benedtttng baseball any.
 In addressing the minor leaguere at the Louisville convention Herr mann, probably anxious to give a dis play of sympathy for the downtrod- den little fellows, remarked the big leagues also were having a most diff f1cult row to hoe and that it would be necessary to adopt strong re- trenchments to weather another war season. A few days later Comisk ey said he would favor suggestion to pool receipts and players in order to enable the big leagues to play up to their old standards.

Y. E -i E : Camp Upton's football eleven. which will clash with Percy Haughton's ser vice team from Camp Devens at the Polo Grounds, Saturday, is going through the training process each af- ternoon on the gridiron laid out at Yaphank. E
 Frank Click, the former Princeton player, put his charges through a long and strenuous scrimmage yes terday afternoon, and from his atti- tude he was evidently quite satisfied with the way r his boys went about their work. N
 A surprisingly large number of for mer college 1uminaries will represent the Camp Upton team in this game. Those who practiced at Yaphank yes terday were:
 Captain Crawford Blagden, sthe one-time famous Harvard tackle: Captain Harry Kernpner. also of liar. ward; Lieutenant M. J.

JOHNNY DUNDEE
 OUTPOINTS BRITT

Boston, Nov. 21~Johnny Dundee of New York danced his way around young Britt of New Bedford here last night in a 12-round bout, the Scotch wop winning just about as he pleased. In nine of the rounds Dundee had a big advantage. His blows were solid ones for the most part. The eighth, however, belonged to Britt, who came across with several rights to the New Workers jaw. In the third and fourth the youngster from New Bedford held his own.
 Dundee showed little effects of his bout the night before with Chaney in

BARROW COUNTS ION BAN JOHNSON
 TO AID IN FIGHT

The proposition to redistrict minor league territory may have been knocked cold at the annual National Association meeting in Louisville, Ky, last week, but the sponsors of the idea. apparently. are not yet reconciled to knockout. Edward J. Barrow, president of the Interna- tionaI League, has not yet returned from Chicago, whither he went im- mediateiy after. the conclusion of the Louisville conference. In the Windy City Barrow doubtless has been in close touch with Al Tearney, who alone stood with him when the ques- ton came to a vote.
 Tearney as yet has not given up hope of that phase of minor league territorial readjustment which di- rectly interested him. He is still fighting spiritedly for territorial re- adjustments among the Western, Three-I and Central Leagues. Al has announced a meeting, which he hopes will be Jointly attended by the club owners of these circuits, for Chicago, the week of the annual meeting of the American League in that city. Ban Johnson has called Q1S moeIAnS TOT W0un06QayS O6c. 1z-
 May Cease Operations.
 Tearney's scheme doubtless will find hearty cooperation from Ban Johnson, one of the greatest powers of the organized game. If territorial revision can be effected in this in. stance it may pave the way to another move for the bigger idea Meanwhile, if nothing toward a bet torment of his present circuit can be accomplished, 1t will not be astonish- ing if the Barrow colleagues agree to the wisdom of his suggestion to cease operations for 1918, at least, if not for the duration of the war.
 There seems the soundest logic in Barrow's contention, just as there is in the Tearney idea of bringing the Western, Three-I and Central to some more eQuable territorial work ing basis This territorial revision would have been accomplished long ago had not the minor leagues been governed by a selfish and shortsight- ed board of control. These have en- 1oyed special privileges which, for the good of the game, should have been abrogated long ago.
 Class distinctions in the minor leagues were established years ago on ratio of population basis and have obtained since despite changing census figures. The Western League today has no just claim for higher classification than the Central League.

Manager Kearney of the American Chain Co. football team advertised as referee for last Sundays exhibition with the Annex of New Haven Tom Thorpe, New York sports writer, and
 former gridiron star. Much pub licity was given to the acquisition of the prominent man from Gotham as an, added attraction for the fans.
 We are informed, not by Manager Kearney himself, but by one who is in close touch with American Chain Go. football affairs, that there was never any intention of bringing Tom Thorpe here as referee of Sunday's s game. We cannot vouch for the above, but it comes to US so authen- tically that we just mention 1t in passing.
 Kearney is a high type of man,
 both in athletics and i'm private life. and we have naught but words of praise for him. While boosting his team, and the quality of the attrac- tions he stages at Newfield park, however, (and he stages the best that fans of this city have ever been given the opportunity of witnessing here) he should be careful to adhere strictly to facts. We had the pleasure of conYers- ! ing this morning with one who takes exception to- our comment on the relative merits of Chic Brown and Battling Kunz in these columns yes- terday. Our friend was of the opin- ion that we used Chic Brown some
 what harshly, especially in recount ing his various meetings with the South Norwalk Battler.
 i In particular he objects to the re- mark land who (referring to Chic Brown) was knocked out and twice defeated by the present state cham | pion, Battling Kunz of South Nor

 and one that was really little mer- | ited. Nevertheless, in the records of the game. Kunz receives credit.

WEINERTs CLAIMS
 THE HEAVYW'GH 6 HAM PIONSAIP'
The following was received by the sports editor this morning.
 New York City,
 Nov. 19, 1917.

The following was received by the sports editor this morning. New York City, Nov. 1s, 1917. Sporting Editor, Dear Sir:- On behalf of Charley Weinert, the sensational Heavyweight of Newark, N, J., I herewith claim the heavy weight championship title of the world and in the future he will. as champion defend same against all suitable opponents, suggested and recognized by the public. The above being based and Justi- fled on the following significant data and accomplishments viz: CD Charley Weinert has defeated. with ss-clippings to substantiate, every heavyweight contender, viz: Jim Coffey, Gunboat smith, Al Reich, Fred Fulton, Porky Flynn, Billy Miske, Battling Levinsky, twice; Jack Dillon and Ko'd Jim Savage twice, who in turn stopped Frank Moran in seven rounds.
 CD Frank Moran has run out oi four matches with Weinert. z (3) Weinert's three wins, so easily scored over Gunboat Smith, who in turn holds a twenty round decision over Jess Willsed, former champion.
 
 bout and then after eight months de- lay, refusal to fight Weinert, as tes- tified to by his former managers.
 (5) Statement of the country's pre- mier sporting writer, MT. Robert Ed grep, in his valued column. in the Ev- ening World last Friday, Nov. 16, 1917, in which he stated that tal- though the public was not aware, Willard did not ever intend to fight again. especially owing to his poor condition, caused by hds long absence from the ring.
 )6) Lastly. which seals Weinerts full control to the title of Heavy weight Champion of the World, was his easy defeat of Fred Fulton in two: rounds at Buffalo, N. Y., last August when Fulton quit to Weinert after re- ceiving terrific body-beating and Fulton's subsequent refusals to con sider anything bordering on a re- match with the Jersey sensation. Very truly yours,
 ED PATTERSON, Manager of Charley Weinert Heaxy-
 weight Champion of the sTorld.

Season before last, when Manager McGraw went out to strengthen his club he got Sallee, Herzog, Zimmer- man, and Lew McCarty, an aggrega- ton which brought the pennant to New York last season. The New York clubs wholesale raid caused SO much commotion in the league that steps were taken to avoid @ repeu- ton of the practice. The same sort of objection was made in the Amer ican league when Iris Speaker went to Cleveland. Any move which at all savers of syndicate baseball is now frowned upon by both baseball club owners and baseball public, so 1t Is improbable that the major leagues will venture any such radical move.
 Syndicate baseball has been suc- cessfully wiped out Of both leagues, the last instance of it being few seasons ago when Charles w. Mur- phy of Chicago was also interested in the Philadelphia club. The same ownership of any two or more clubs has 8 tendency to make the public suspicious. The Federal league could not gain the confidence of the public because it was known that the league placed its players around in different clubs
 The very fact, however, that Owner Comiskey even tsuggesteh such a proposition indicates that the club owners are worrying about the com ing season. The draft is sure to hit the ols5bs harder than it did last sea- son and several of the clubs are in danger of losing many of their young CT players.

unable to play Washington and Jeff ferson's chances against the Western CTS will be materially reduced.
 Coach Metzger, who saw Notre Dame defeat the Army, asserts that Notre Dame has a line far superior to that of West Virginia, so that it is imperative that the weak back field attack be improved upon. The two teams are about even in weight and each has a veritable pony backf1eld averaging less than 100 pounds. The game will be the last at home for Washington and Jefferson.
