BLUE RIDGE MAY START.
Hagerstown and Frederick Fans
Want Base Ball Next Season.

HAGERSTOWN, Md, December 26
A movement is already on foot to
form a Blue Ridge base ball league
for 1919. Some time ago President J.
Vincent Jamison, jr., announced that
he believed it would be impossible to
organize a league for 1919, such as
was formed in former seasons Fans
believe, however. that a small league
can be successfully organized to open
May 80 next, by which time, it is be-
lieved, the majority of the men serv-
ing under the national colors will be
home and anxious to see base ball.
If times continue prosperous 1t is
thought a small league could be OPP
Grated. Frank Smith. base ball leader
in Frederick, has assured the fans
here that Frederick wants base ball
in 1919. Eddie Hooper conferred with
Smith relative to the prospects for a
league. Hooper, who was manager
of Chambersburg' club last year,
thought the formation of a league
next year possible. He suggested that
Hagerstown, Frederick, Chambers
burg and either Martinsburg or
Waynesboro compose the league.
Waynesboro is anxious to get into a
four-club league. Smith thinks good
players can easily be obtained next
year. In the meantime the fans are
sounding out sentiment in the various
towns.

CHICAGO. December 26.-Ai the
Great Lakes naval training station

WINDSOR WINS EASILY.
Defeats Baltimore All-Stars on
Gridiron. 48 to O.

BALTIMORE, Nd, December 90
The Windsor Athletic Club eleven
of Washington defeated the All Stars
of this city by the score of 48
to O, in a game featured by long runs
and clever forward passing and trick
plays, in which the out-of-town boys
excelled their rivals in every depart
ment. Bob Marmion was the bright
star of the contest and registered 80
of the 4S points scored by his team.
The All Stars, though playing on their
home grounds and outweighing the
winners fully 20 pounds to the man,
resorted to rough tactics on many
occasions in an effort to stave off
defeat and were Kissed by their own
followers as the result. Marmion was
roughly handled and it was evident
that the losers were bent upon ut
ting him out of the contest in the
early stages, but he gamely stuck it
out, though bleeding profuSely from
the nose and ear the entire game.
Harley, formerly of Manhattan Col
lege. and Granger of Penn State were
in the losers backfield, and botn gave
good accounts of themselves, but
found the Capital city lads line a
veritable stone wall whenever their
goal was threatened. Mcbride played
in great style for the winners, as did
Limerick, whose clever forward pass
ing proved too much for the locals.

M'NAL[Y IS BACK HOME
Former Red Sox Player Says Base
Ball Will Become Popular
in England.

SCRANTON, Pa. December 90
Michael McNally of Minooka, former
infielder for the Boston Americans,
who is still on the reserve list of that
club, has been mustered out of the
service and has returned home. Nc
Nally was in the United States Navy,
and figured in the game in England
July between the Army and Navy
teams which was attended by King
George. He shook hands with the
English ruler after the contest. Nc
Nally's ship was in foreign waters
for six months. He is in splendid
health and ready to don base ball
toys again, he states.
McNally says that he believes base
ball is going to become popular in
England. Last summer he said he
learned that quite a few schools had
organized base ball clubs and were
playing games several times a week.
In other classes. he also said, the peo-
pie were showing an interest in the
game, and while he doubts the Ameri-
can sport can replace cricket as the
Englishman's favorite outdoor amuse-
ment he does look for base ball to be-
come one of the country's leading
sports.
McNally also took occasion to refer
to the remarkable pitching displayed
by Herb Pennock in the games played
in England by the Navy team. He said
the left-hander's old weakness Of poor
control was overcome. and that he
showed more stuff than ever before.
He predicts big things for Pennock
when he returns to the major leagues.
The Minooka boy expects to play
with the Boston Red Sox again. He
has received a letter from President
Frazee to the effect that he will be
asked to report for spring training,
and that he will be given every chance
to make a regular position. McNally
was a member of the crew of the U. S.
S. Melville. Friends are to give him a
banquet here.

BY n. c. BYRD.

Representatives of colleges from
west. north, south and east gather
tonight and tomorrow in New York
to discuss problems arising out of
the unusual conditions which have
confronted sports during the last
year and a half. This evening grad
uate managers of athletics, repre-
senting most of the big institutions.
meet at an informal dinner at one
of the big hotels in Gotham, while
tomorrow the general meeting of the
National Collegiate Athletic Associa-
ton is to take place. The N. c. A. A.
gathering is to be divided into three
sessions. morning. afternoon and
evening.
For several years graduate mana
gers of most big colleges and uni
versities have been getting together
for mutually helpful informal dis
cussions. Practices and policies are
ness that would astonish a person
who had never attended one of the
affairs. Another object of the meet
ing is to bring into closer personal
touch the graduate managers in or
der that a better understanding may
exist between them and their insti-
tutions and to discuss the proba bill
ties for big games.
Last year Harvard and Princeton
graduate managers were present at
the dinner, and both stated frankly
the positions their universities took
in regard to the adjustment of ath-
letics during the war period. In all
proba Yale will have a man
there tonight, and it is very possible
that some announcement will come
from one of the big three" as to
the prospects for and intentions with
regard to foot ball in 1919. Indica-
tions are now that all three of the
universities will be represented next
year on the gridiron.

Contracts Under Discussion.

The matter of contracts. which the
clubs Cancelled so suddenly last sea-
son, has been the subject OF much dls-
the off season. However, they feel
that there is justice in the stand they
have taken. as is explained by Connie
Mack. manager of the Philadelphia
Athletics.
II was rather surprised to read
about Cobb claiming to be free
agent" said Mack, for he knows bet
ter. The club owners did all they
could to carry the game along as far
as possible last season, and they only
closed when they were forced to do SO
1t was only natural that we should
enter into an agreement to protect
our interests, and, of course. we are
bound to respect each others rights:
1t would be the ruination of base ball
next year were the players free to
dicker with any one who wished their
services, and there is no chance of
such a condition arising"

NOT FREE
TO SIGN AT WILL
Agreement Among Owners to
Enforce Reserve Clause
Assures Status Quo.

| NEW YORK, December 26.-Numer-
Gus ball players who have taken the
stand that their contracts were auto
matically Cancelled by the failure Of
! their clubs to play out the schedule
last season and pay them the usual
six months salary are apparently
soon to learn that there is no such
thing as free agent in the big
leagues. Quite on the contrary, the
| sixteen clubs are preparing to enforce
/ again the reserve clause to hold their
| players for next year and this week
will send out notices of claim to
| services to all men on their reserve
| list in accordance with base ball laws
These notices are required to be
sent out by January 1 each year, and
| the club has until March 1 to send
out contracts, though these are
| usually sent out during January and
| February. This year the clubs are
| encountering some difficulty because
| many players were sent into the
various branches of the service and
| may not be reached. but notice sent
to the last address is considered
Undoubtedly many players VIII
object to the attempt of the clubs
to hold them to their contracts. When
| the season was brought to an early
close in September, because of the
! work or-fght" order, most of the
PLAYERS were served with ten-day
release notice. contained in their con,
tracts, and which release is supposed
| to make them free agents. rms was
done to forestall any legal claims LOT
salaries for the remaining month OF
the normal base ball season.
No Choice for Players.
But, at the same time, the club
owners entered into a gentlemens
agreement not to tamper with each
others players when the game was
resumed, and consequently players
must return to the clubs which
formerly employed them or remain
out of the game, for no other ciup
will deal with them. 1t is an open
question whether the claims OF tne
clubs under the reserve clause "ould
hold in a court OF law, put lesai ~
not, there appears little chance OF the
PLAYERS becoming free agents.
nv Cobb, on his return from france,
few DAYS ago, raised the question
of free agent He asserted that the
Detroit club no longer held claim on
him and that he was free to deal with
the highest bidder for his services.
However, Cobb will find 1T dlfhcult
to deal with any other club owner
The same is true of other players. Be-
cause of the position he occupies In
base ball as a drawing card Cobb may
he able to force terms to suit MS de-
mands, but lesser lights Will be less
fortunate.
