MAJORS FIGHT
PARK BETT0RS
League to Employ Detec-
tives to Guard Against
Pavilion Gamblers.

New York, Dec. 3o.-The reconstruc-
tion program of major league baseball
to be arranged at the forthcoming
joint conference of club owners in this
city will provide for systematic
campaign to stamp out gambling in
ball parks.
So prevalent did gambling become
last season that club owners regarded
1t a menace. Efforts were made to
suppress it in many parks. but In only
q few was headway made against the
pool sellers.
o Therefore arrangements will be made
for a concerted drive against the hu-
man pests who infest most of the ma
jor league parks. A detective agency
TO be assigned to the work will de-
vote its attention to all of the parks
one after another until both circuits
are cleared OF the sharpers.
The fact that Ban johnson, presi-
dent of the American League. charged
Harry II. Frazee. owner of the. Red
Sox, with permitting gambling in Fen
way Park does not mean that the
Boston grounds alone was invaded by
the gambling ring.
1t has long been an open secret gam
blers mingled with fans at all of the
parks. Despite the vigilance of the
officials of both the Giants and Yam
KEGS local gamblers have made a
rendezvous of the Polo Grounds from
time to time, quitting only when dras-
tic methods were adopted to check
them.

LEAGUES KEEP
old SCHEDULE
Weather Usually Worse
During May Than in
Opening Month.

New York, Dec. 3O-If the major
leagues have deferred the opening Of
the season of 1919 until April . to
avoid early spring weather bunkers
they have run afoul a capricious prob
lem.
Although Ban Johnson has an
nounced officially the pennant races
would begin in both leagues on the
aforementioned date and end about
October /. it is altogether probable
his order may be countermanded and
the old ia game route maintained
when the club owners gather in joint
conference here on January l6.
Inspection of records of the last
three seasons shows that, so far as
baseball is concerned, April weather
has been favorable. while May has
been as freakish as a Russian boil
shevik. Last April, for instance, the
Giants lost only one day from the
18th to the Goth, inclusive, while In
May five games were postponed and
others played in rain.
During April, 1871. five games were
lost and three played on rainy days,
while in May eight contests were COM
pIetely washed out and| the months
hedule thoroughly irrigated.
Throughout the month rain and wind
combined to make wretched the life
of the fan and there were but six
clear days.
April of 1916, however. gave baseball
a frosty welcome Seven days were
lost by rain, and it showed on the 18th,
checking the campaign in both cir
cults In May of that year five days
were lost due to rain, but favorable
weather prevailed on the others and
most clubs prospered.
All Of whCih shows that although
April has its climatic shortcomings
May. too. draws a heavy allotment
of bad weather. In the three years
thirteen days have been lost in April
and eighteen in May.
Regardless of Johnson's announce
ment. the date upon which the major
league races will begin will not be
determined officially until the club
owners convene next month. Not
only do Harry II. Frazee, Charles
Comiskey.- Harry y. Hampstead and
other progressive club owners resent
Johnson's premature arrangement, but
they strongly favor the old schedule
OF lJl games and intend to fight for its
retention at the forthcoming con-
Clavc. The schedule will be but one
Of the many issues over which there
is bound to develop a difference of
opinion at the all important confab.
And Of no less Importance will be the
proposal to play inteTleague games in
Northern cities before the start of the
championship races. Most baseball
men regard this proposition as ridicu-
lous. and it doubtless will be aban-
dOned when the club owners fore
gather
No club owner possessing an ounce
or showmanship would countenance
the preseason game. Not only would
II remove the edge" from the official
opening, but the public has shown re-
peatedly 1t has no interest whatever
in any but championship contests.
The preseason game Is purely a
money making device. and like the
bush league scheme OF home training
should have no place in the reorgani-
cation of professional baseball

PLAYERS HELD
BY AGREEMENT
Ty Cobb and Duffy Lewis
Declare Themselves
Free Agents.

New York, Dec. 30.-An organized
effort on the part of ma jor league
ballplayers to make capital out of
the fact that they were ''uncondi-
tionally" released last fall appar-
emily is being made. Already moves
have been started by Ty Cobb and
Duffy Lewis, two of the games best
known stars. Cobb, knowing his
value as a ballplayer. has declared
the belief he is a free agent, made
so when the Detroit club quit busi-
ness last fall a month sooner than
it had expected to. Lewis declares
himself in the same fashion. because
of the fact that he was sold to the
Yankees. He announces he will not
report unless he is given part of the
purchase money.
All players were given uncondi-
tional releases by the club owners
through an agreement. 1t was dis
covered that in this manner only
could the clubs escape the obliga
tion of paying a full sea sons salary
to the men. 1t was agreed and un-
derstood fully that title to each
player was to remain where it was
before the government decided to
stop baseball. The reserve clause
takes care of that in full.
The club owners hold the whip
hand. Unless they, pull the wrong
string before the opening of the
season the players will be driven
into line for the opening game with
out much of a struggle. 1t is quite
foolish to suppose that any club
owner, unless he contemplated a
brush with an outlaw league, would
tamper with Ty Cobb or any other
player. In this connection it may be
stated with absolute authority that
reports of Miller Huggins having
gone to Augusta, Ga. to see Cobb
regarding a probable transfer to the
Yankees without foundation
