SYNDICATE BALL
National League Head Says
Comiskey's Plan of Pooling
Players Is Impossible
WOULD INJURE GAME

NEW YORK, Nov. 81.
The suggestion which has been made to
the American League club 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 *. Tener yesterday.
at is not in harmony with the spirit OF
baseball" said President Tener. az do
not believe that the American League in
tends 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 placing of
the star players would be a difficult prob
lem to decide in fact, it seems that it would
be impossible to accomplish it in way
which would be satisfactory to all clubs"
Baseball Men Are Surprised
Other baseball men who talked about the
plan were surprised at such a radical sug-
Gestion from veteran club .Owner like
Charles a. Comiskey, the owner of the
worlds champion White SoX For many
years this general shifting of players has
been one feature of the game which the
leagues have been trying TO avoid y The
sale or trade of star players from weak
clubs to stronger clubs has caused no end
of trouble in baseball, and only "A year ago
the National League passed an amendment
forbdding the sale of players from one
club to another after a certain date in the
season.
Season before last, when Manager Nc
Graw went out to strengthen his club. he
got Sallee, Herzog, Zimmerman and Lew
McCarty, an aggregation 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 a repetition of the
practice. The same sort of objection was
made in the American League when Iris
Speaker went TO Cleveland. Any move
which at all savors of syndicate baseball is
now frowned upon by both baseball club
owners and baseball public. so It Is i'm
probable that the major leagues will ven-
ture any such radical move.
Syndicate Game Is Dead
Syndicate baseball has been successfully
wiped out of both leagues, the last instance
of 1t being a few seasons ago when Charles
w. Murphy, of Chicago. was also interested
in the Philadelphia club. The same own
ership of any two or more clubs has a
tendency 10 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 suggested such a proposition
indicates that the club owners are worry
ing about the coming season. The draft
is sure to hit the clubs harder than it did
last season. and several of the clubs are
in danger OF losing many Of their younger
players.

Russia AWakenS
CFrom The New York Tribune).

OF the Russian Socialists that their
German brethren, led by Scheidemann,
Hollweg's stool pigeon,
were not true TO proletarian ideals IN
their work for peace. They placed
German victory ahead of peace and
we're unwilling to commit themselves
to any REIMBURSEMENT OF political con-
troll at home which would put It within
the German pfOletariat's power to deal
on basis OF international solidarity
with the proletariats OF other ma
tions.
The impossibility OF a settlement
between free Russia and autocratic
Germany has been borne in on the.
Russian people. They are beginning
TO realize that the only way to get
real peace is to break down the
military power of Germany. The Ho-
henzollern dynasty is the greatest
obstacle today to impeachment be-
tween Russian socialism and German
socialism. It is this conviction, more
than anything else, perhaps, which
accounts for Russia's sudden re-entry
into the war.
The Russian armies which Will con.
tinue the war will be armies of free
men. They will execute a national
purpose which they have had a part
in formulating and with which they
sympathize. When the first excesses
OF indiscipline have subsidized they
may be all the more dangerous for
their newly acquired freedom. The

The new Russian offensive in Cali
cia may turn out TO be only a nib
bling" venture instead OF a drive like
Brusllon's Eruption into Galicia and
BukOwina year ago. The capture Of
10000 prisoners in the course Of the
first days operations suggests that
the Austrian forces on the East front
have again been taken at disadvan-
tagc By a surprise attack. That front
has been weakened for months past
TO meet the Italian offensive on the
Carso Plateau. OVerconhdence in the
passivity of the Russian armies may
have led to a dangerous thinning OF
the line in Galicia and given BrusilOf
another tempting oppOrtunity-to
strike for Lemberg.
Il Is too early to hazard a guess as
to the staying power OF the new often
siye. That it was planned ahead is
proved by the fact that our govern
ment was informed some time ago
that a Russian drive would begin on
July l. The discipline OF the Russian
armies may not have been sufficiently
restored 10 sustain q forward move
ment at all comparable to last years.
Munitions supplies may also be more
limited than they were in 1916. But
The mere fact that the new advance
represents a concerted effort on the
part of the new Russian government
that II ends definitely a long period
or halfrecognized armistice-gives It
an importance far above and beyond
its actual or probable military results.
Russia has, in fact, announced her
re-entry into the war. The Berlin bull
