ASKED TO TAKE CHANCE
Mackmen Will Have Salaries Cut
But Will Divide Profits if
Any Are Made.

| For the first time since that famous
| old machine was dismantled in 1914 the
remaining members of Connie Mack 8
Athletics are asked to take a chance.
Said chance is to agree to salary re-
ductions with the understanding that
the club profits will be distributed
among the men at the close of the sea-
son.
Heretofore, at least for the past three
seasons, the Mackmen took no chances
whatever. They were assured of last
place in the pennant race, even before
the championship season started.
This thing Of taking a chance prob
ably will sound like so much Greek to
the house of Mack, unaccustomed as
they are to do so.
Seriously. the proposition put to the
players by Manager Mack is nothing
more nor less than cooperative base
ball. The idea is to offer the ball play
ers their contracts calling for a slight
reduction in salary with the proviso
that they will receive additional re-
muneration in the event that the club
makes money. The management of the
club is willing to make the ball tossers
partners in the business and distribute
the profits
The plan has it's good points, but there
always is that possibility of the play
ers becoming as crafty business men as
Ch1ef Meyers, ex-catcher of the Giants,
who, SO the story goes, tried to count
the crowd before each of the world S
series games in which he participated.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. January IA new
rule governing the eligibility of base
ball players of the country classed as
amateurs and emi-professionals will be
considered at the annual meeting here
next Friday of the National Base Ball
Federation. it was announced last night
The rule was formulated at a conference
between officials of the federation and
Garry Hermann, chairman of the ma
tional base ball commission Ban john
son, president of the American League;
John X. Tener. president of the National
League, and John H. Farrell, secretary
of the National Association. The new
rule classes amateurs as follows:

ceives no monetary remuneration for

rent season and who shall not have
played with professional or semi

er who does not earn his livelihood by
his services as a player and who shall
not have played with any club operat-
ing under the national agreement of the

SAYS McGRAw's PLAN IS BAD.
Ebbets Advises Schoolboys to Stay
Out Of Professional Base Ball.

Manager McGraw of the Giants re-
Gently advocated the adoption of a
major league system of signing young
sters under the draft age and schooling
them for future use. President Ebbets
Of the Brooklyn club points out that
the McGraw idea is wrong-not from
the standpoint of the clubs, but from
the viewpoint of the boys themselves.
Ebbets holds. and rightfully so, that
any system which seeks to make pro-
fessional base ball players out of
schoolboys is bad one.
Boys of the school age belong in
school," says Ebbets. land 1 do not
want to become a party to any plan
that seeks to take them away from
their studies and convert them into
professional ball players" Ebbets has
been in the base ball business long
enough to know that it is the worst
venture for the average youngster-
that it takes his youth, stamina and
ambition for other activities and leaves
aim stranded at a time of life when
other men are in their Industrial prime.
Now and then we have the exception.

PHILADELPHIA, January 14.-The
Childs cup race, the greatest annual
crew event in the east, will not be af-
fected by the war, from present indica-
tions. Plans are being formed for the
holding of the race on Carnegie lake

years will send a boat for the annual

nell, has started indoor crew practice
and will send two boats of sturdy
oarsmen. 1t is known for certainty
that Yale and Harvard will send in
formal boats to the big regatta and 1t
is probable that Princeton Will make
the same entry.
Like all other athletics, a crew At
Pennsylvania will not be affected BY
the abnormal conditions caused by the
war. Although it has not been off
cially ratified by the athletic council
of Pennsylvania, it is expected that the
Red and Blue oarsmen will race the
Midshipmen of Annapolis on the Severn
river this spring. Yale has written to
the Penn athletic council asking for an
informal race between the two collie
giate crews, and it is probable that the
offer will be accepted.
Candidates for Pennsylvanias crew
were called out Friday by Coach
Wright, and more than fifty men signed
up for the water sport. Only three vet
Grams from the varsity and junior boats
reported at call, due to enlistments and
graduation of the other members of

ATHLETIC DIRECTORS
WANTED IN FRANCE
y ".
Y. M. c. A. Greatly in Need Of
Fifty Men to Sail Not Later
Than February l.
BY a. C. BYRD.

Physical directors are badly needed
in France at the encampments OF
American soldiers. Efforts now are
being made by the Young Mems Chris
tfan Association, New York headquar-
ters. to obtain the services Of fifty men
to go to France by February to take
charge Of physical work which comes
under the direction Of the Y. M. c. A.
Considerable difficulty Is being ex-
perfenced In getting men for the posi-
tions. Those within the age require
ments for the National Army cannot be
accepted. It is seldom that men under
twenty-one years of age are capable of
filling such places. and those over
|thirty-one usually are engaged in such
important work on this side Of the At
lantic that it would almost be a case
of "robbing Peter to pay Paul. for
them to go.
c. Edward Beckett, physical director
c. A, has been asked by the New York
headquarters to be on the lookout for
men capable Of filing the kind Of posi-
tions mentioned. Salaries Of $1,000 per
year Tor single men and $2,100 for mar
ride men are offered, though if man
exceptional experience in physical cul-
ture he may receive a larger salary.
The work is exceedingly difficult and
requires the highest type Of man to ac-
complish 1t properly. If there are men
IN Washington who think they can fill
such positions and care to take up that
kind of work they could do well to get
in touch with Prof. Beckett at the Y. NJ
c. A. at the earliest possible moment
1t is desired that the men for the posi-
tions be ready to sail not later than
February /.
Tomorrow's game in the high school
basket ball series will be played be-
tween Business and Central. This will
be the first contest in which these two
CUNTS have faced one another. Central
has played twice and won each time,
while Business has one victory to its
credit and one defeat charged against
it. 1t is expected that the contest will
be one of the best played so far, as it
is we'll recognized that the Stenogra-
piers have good material. One great
difference between the teams is that
Business has no coach, while Central
is directed by one of the best mentors
the schools have had.
Announcement is made by Johns
Hopkins University that it will hold
its annual indoor track and field meet.
The federal government has taken over
the 9th Regiment Armory. where the
games usually have been held, and the

Hank 0'Day an Umpire Batter
Himself as Pitcher Years Ago

The ancient files of long ago have
yielded up their dead. and a paper
dated back almost thirty years
tells us TINT Hank O'Day was an
umpire fighter.
Just look Mt these few lines:
4Fitcher O'Day's continued OBJ
iecticns to the umpiring kept the
game in an uprpar. Apparently
the officials eyesight was good
and his Judgment accurate, but
O'Day demanded everything, and
rOared with rage when the deci-
sionx went against HIM. Toward
the last O'Day grew SO obstrep-
erous that his own players inter-
fered to prevent a fight between
the angry pitcher and the umpire,
who was evidently quite willing
to do battle.
.After the game O'Day said
that the umpirinE was the worst
he had ever seen; that it was no
use for :: man to pitch good ball
when a blind or crOss-eyed bat
was behi nd the plate"
