Wake VIII Be Held Feb.
ruary u Over Corpse
of Strike
By ". J. MACBETH

Organized baseball is getting set fol
an old-fashioned celebration when the
two major leagues meet here the week
Of February y for ratification Of the
1917 schedules. The wraps viii be
taken off 20 celebrate the wake over the
corpse Of the baseball players strike
Il is even limited that Charles II. Eb.
bets intends 70 square himself with
vox populi for its slight in connection
with his championship banquet of six
teen plates during the annual National
League meeting in December
Heretofore it has been customary
for the president of a world champion
club to come 10 bat with real spread
for several hundred of the baseball
elite during the big joint February
meetings. The honor would have been
J. J. Lannin's undisputed right TINS
time But Joe sold his club 70 Harry
Frazee and Hugh Ward.
Ebbets Would Preside
Mr. Ebbets it IS said. is fearful that
these two newcomers do not qualify "a
preside at feast Of such pretension
He has requested the privilege OF com
ing TO bat for them. II gossip IS right
Charles, fanked by such worthless as
John X. Tener, Ed Barrow and Ban
Johnson, will deliver such a home run
as will put TO shame the Cloth Of Gold
itself There hasn't been q battle royal
since the White SoX and Giants re-
turned from the world tour. The Squire
deplores the decline IN two-handed
trenchermen.
Banquet or no banquet, the schedule
meetings should develop little bit OF
fun OF course, the schedules OF the
two major leagues are as good as
adopted now. But with practically all
of the players worth while gone over 20
the owners there remains certain prob

son is 10 fulfil its promise.
Most important. perhaps. is the world
series Of the future. Opinion in the
two leagues is sharply divided. Ban
Johnson favOrs continuing under exist
ing rules, but with a tariff revision in
regard to admission prices.
Ban would charge only double the
prices Of regular admission for cham
pionship games except FOR the boxes,
which would sell as usual for 50 a seat.
John X. Tener, on the other hand, be-
lieves that a division Of the spoiis
should be given 20 some or all Of the
other players of both leagues who are
not fortunate enough 70 qualify for the
championship by helping to win PEN

too, one of maximum Of nine games
instead of seven, as now prevails.
Changes in Rules
The National League. too, favors one
or two radical changes in the playing
rules. Mr.. Tener will advocate widen
ing the plate by one inch and cutting
down the forfeit of free transportation
10 first from four TO three balls. Percy
Haughton wishes the spitball. resin ball
and the kindred subterfuges stricken
from the curriculum. Dozens OF other
suggestions have been forwarded to the
JOINT rules committee.
The International League will hold
is schedule meeting some time during
the week the big leaguers are here. In
deed it will not be at all surprising II
a big minor league rally is seen IN New
York at that time. Unless the contem-
plated strike by minor players hzzles
out with the desertion from the cause
of the major brethren there is posi-
blity that the National Association OF
Minor Leagues will be dissolved.
That would throw every small circuit
upcn its own resources. There would
be absolutely no protection for players
Of the minors. 1t would pat the game
back where il was twenty years ago
outside the major leagues, of course,
vet it is believed reorganization would
eliminate the avarice of players. This
avarice has the National Association
headed to the rocks anyhow.
Johnson, at the meeting here. Will
project his theory for home far aged
ball players. This is side line of his
views for reform in the world series
and will enter into the discussion OF
that topic.

By FRED HAWTHORNE

IL is a notable list Of names that is
signed to the latest petition in favor Of
adopting d drastic amateur rule at the
next meeting of the United States Ma
tional Lawn Tennis Association at the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel week from to-
morrow
The petition was sent out in the form
Of circular letter 10 members of the
L. S. n. l.. T. A. yesterday and Is the
work of a committee Of men who are
actively interested in and identified
with the game.
Wrenn Leads Way
Robert d. Wrenn, former national
champion and eX-president Of the ma
tional association, acted as chairman of
the committee in drawing up the state
ment, which is strong argument in
favor Of the executive committees rec
concentrations concerning the amateur
rule

and internationalist; William A.

pion, and his brother, Edwin ?. Larned;
Raymond d. Little, former Davis Cup

tional champion, are just Few or those
whose names are signed TO tins letter.
The statement follows:
BASED on GOOD SPORTSMANSHlP
"To the Members Of the United States
National Lawn Tennis Association:
I'VE. the undersigned, are heartily IN
accord with the amateur amendment
proposed by the executive committee
Of the United States National Lawn
Tennis Association. We believe It's
adoption IS essential TO the malnten-
ance Of the present high standards OF
tennis. II is based on plain principles
Of good sportsmanship and fairness.
And i, is needed now. The invasion Of
the sporting goods houses INTO the
ranks of ihe best players, ominous
enough last spring, when the amend
mcnt was first drafted. has since spread

more leading players VIII soon be IN

"A substitute amendment is sug-
gested which would permit men now IN
the tennis goods business to continue

who hereafter enter such business. We
disapprove of this substitute because
il would create a small privileged class
of the very men who have caused the
unfortunate situation we are trying to
eliminate. The amendment as proposed
by the executive committee gives these
men more than a year to enter other

always been a strong feeling IN the as

business. as those affected well know.

such sporting events and VIII result IN

would be intolerable.

No Middle Ground
The letter shows that those in favor

more hitting and more action in the
game said John McGraw.
"Well, they will not have to change
the number of balls and strikes nor
the width OF the plate to reach that

Let them dig out the brand Of
baseballs they sold US in the fall Of
1910 and the spring Of 1911. ThereIl

core of the cork centre. Immediately
there was about three times the run

II was nothing for a punk team TO
bclabor a pitching ster for half
dozen runs in an inning. Such roar
went up from the big leagues when
an army Of Cobbs was unieashed that
the ball makers apologized and went
right back to the old-fashioned type
Of pellet.
It is well known fact that the Fed
cral League employed this live or
rabbit style of ball throughout the
Gilmore regime. The Benny Kaufs
and the Lee Magees of the outlaws hit
like Cobbs and Speakers while with the
outlaws. But they struck their level
when they got in the big show.

FIRE DESTROYS HOME

Word reached the Pioneer this
morning that the home of John
Motifs, Twenty-fifth street and Dali
ton avenue, was destroyed by fire at
o'clock yesterday morning. The or
igin of the fire is not known. AS
the water system does not extend to
that part of the city and has no fire
alarm was sent in the only attempt
to save the building was on the part
of neighbors, who worked heroically
but without avail.
