Outlaw Baseball League
On Coast Is Planned

San Francisco, Jan. 23.-Formation of
an outlaw baseball league to compete
with the Pacific Coast league in the lat
er's territory, was suggested today
by Cliff Blankenship, former Salt Lake
manager, as a result of the sensational
charges by Edward Maier, former Yer
non owner.
Blankenship declared that should
Maier desire to invest in such a PROPOSE
tion, in order to fight the Pacific Coast
league, he would find encouragement in
Stockton, Fresno, San Jose and Sacra-
mento and probably in other San Joa-
quin valley cities. The deposed Salt
Lake leader recently made an investiga-
tion of conditions in these places.
cat Visalia,'' said Blankenship,
"Orvie Overall, who is close friend
of Maier's, is still greatly interested
in baseball and would back such move
by Maier, | believe There are many
other cities, too which could be depend
ed upon. Not only that, but l believe
Oakland and San Francisco could be in
vaded with profit.
''In my opinion the time for such a
move is ripe for a man with the capital
of Maier. The confusion now existing
in organized baseball everywhere and
particularly on the coast would seem to
make everything propitious. -

NEARISOME TALK Of
LES DARCY CONTINUES

Claiming To Be Able To

BY H. @. Hamilton.

Omitted Press staff eorrespondent)
New York, Jan. 24.-The probability
that Les Darcy win be seen in his first
American bout somewhere in the west
protruded all over the place today as
Tim O'Sullivan became more and more
surprised at the avariciousness of Grant

he said he had "no reason to believe'
members would balk at meeting the
request.
He was questioned further about
technicalities of the market, Attorney
Whipple again developing what the
committee wishes to know regarding
short selling and listing.
A momentary flareup between Repre-
sentative Chiperfield and Attorney
Whipple marked the session.
Noble and Whipple seemed not to un-
derstand each other when suddenly
Chiperfield objected to 'impugning'
the statements of the witness.
Whipple replied that he had no idea
of impugning Noble s remarks. Clipper
field wanted his objection in the rec
ord 'as the basis for remarks l may
wish to make later
Whipple held that he had merely de-
sired to clear up slight variances in
the testimony and committee members
agreed with him that there had been
no intent to "impugn" Noble s state
ments.
Noble s testimony was devoted to the
question of retirement of stocks from
the exchange list. He explained retire
ments were due to narrow holdings
virtual disappearance of the stocks
from the exchange-whic might leave
''short - in a corner when he wanted
to cover
Whipple tried to develop that mar
row holdings, such as Noble mentioned,
constitute pool. Noble sought to show
that this was not pool in the cGn-
mon acceptance of the word, inasmueh
as there was no manipulation in the
case he cited.
Chairman STREET of the clearing house
reported that records of his oFganiza-
tion-several enormous stacks-were
ready for examination.
The committee asked that it be no
titled Immediately if any houses re-
fuse their individual records.
Streat threw bomb into the COM
mittee calculations when he expressed
the opinion that the big houses could
not get their records into shape in less
than month The committee is author
lied to sit less than a month
Streit said his own house was not a
large one and that even in his own
ease, it would take two weeks to COM
| plete the data.
Whipple developed that the time
could be cut down if added help were
given and some Of the details eliminat-
| ed
| That government clerks may go over
the books if the Wall Street houses
cannot, or do not, get the records to-
gether quickly, was implied threat of
| the committee.
| Chiperfield sought information about
experience in government control of
| exchanges abroad.
The first clearing house sheet avail
able to the committee was presented as
a sample and showed big United States
Steel dealings on December 13.
The committee went into executive
session at noon.
President Noble agreed to present
this new request to the exchange gov
ernors and it is likely that it will be
granted
| The new scheme will eliminate many
minor details and serve to speed up
the revelations of who were the big
dealers during the period covered by
the leak inquiry.
1t was limited that government clerks
might be employed to delve into rec
ords where there was undue delay. or
| if brokers were recalcitrant about com
| ing forward voluntarily.
