BAKER CONFERS
 WITH MANAGER

New York, Jan. IS - William F. Baker, president of the Phillies, met his manager, Pat Moran, here yes terday. They had a long conference. but it was simply on the plans of the Phi1lies on their spring training trip and arranging details as to the tme for leaving for the South.
 There is nothing new in the case of Alexander" said MT. Baker last night. "1 have heard nothing off cially from the Chicago club. I do not believe that MT. Weeghman in- tends to repudiate his bargain with us, as it.now seems probable that AL exander will not bee alled into actual service in the army before the middle of Judy, if then"
 Mir. Baker insisted that he had talked over no deals with his man. ager, although there were rumors that Moran's trip here meant that there might be a swap of Brooklyn and Philadelphia players.

Compulsory
 Sports For
 (. A. (. Men

New York, Jan. 1S.-Ciarence W. Smith, colonel of the Thirteenth Reg iment, Coast Artillery Corps, is an ardent advocate of. athletics for de- velopiRg the body. Yesterday after noon hs announced that compulsory athletic training. for the enlisted men under his command would be inaug Urated January 30 On this date the regiment will hold a set of games at its armory in Brooklyn, and the mem bers will report to Lieutenant Hard meyer, who has been appointed ath- letic instructor.
 Colonel Smith has taken q wide in terest in athletics ever since young ster, and in 1889, while captain, un- dertook to form an athletic organiza- tion. This organization, under his capable guidance, extended rapidly and in a short time became one of the best known in the city. Many fla nous athletes received their first in- strlctious in running at the Thtr- teenth Regiment.
 Included among them are Harry Hillman, now coach of Dartmouth College; Lawson Robertson, coach of Penn; Harvey Cohn, athletic instruc- tor at Camp Wordsworth, Spartanburg; Frank Riley, Billy Kramer, one-hme cross-country king, and George Un- deTwood.
 Since the war, however, and in view of the fact that the old members of the company are in Federal service, there has been little or no athletic activity at the Brooklyn armory. It is Colonel Smiths idea to develop an- other track and fied team with the new men of the regiment, and that IS his reason for the compulsory order
 The new men will get their first try-out at the bi-weekly games of the Metropolitan association at the Sixty ninth Regiment Armory next month Incidentally, Colonel Smith was the first to offer his armory to the A. A IT for these games.

WILLARD DON'T

Chicago, Jan. 1S-St. Paul fight promoters who operate the Capital City Athletic Club, where Fulton and Miske will clash tonight, are hot af- ter bout for Jess Willard
 Jack .Reddy, the matchmaker, wires that hl. club will give 5000 for bout bctV. zen the champion and the winner of the Miske-Fu1ton match.
 The auditorium in St. Paul where the club holds it's fights has seating capacity of 15,0O0, according to Red- dy.
 Willard said: Well, I don't need s75.00O very badly right now and I don't believe I want to consider any purse proposition.
 "I've got this benefit idea well in hand. I'll make it for athletic para phernalia-that is, for boxing gloves, wrestling mats, baseball stuff, any thing that is needed.
 live got tho CT three places in mind where can pull off the match. I don't know who these people in St. Paul are, but I'll talk to them, of course. I don't care to name any flat terms for fight nUw, as I'm not look ing for a purse for myself.
 I've been t.-S I..o with some circus people for a couple of days trying tc sell the rest of my circus property When I get that off my chest I'll have more time to talk fights and figh business. You can say, though, that I'm not planning for anything but . big benefit fight at present"

The property comprises in all about 325 acres and the purchase price is said to have been over $25,000.
 Mir Lannin, through his company, plans to build a small inn on the course for the accommodation of golf CTS. It was explained yesterday that his principal object in buying the links was to provide ample and ade- quate golf facilities for the patrons Of the Garden City Hotel and a, propos- ed new hotel at Seventh Avenue and 56th street, New York, for which plans will be filed shortly.

ASSOCIATION
 FACING 1918 WITH CALM

o'Conneu. McQuillan also used the splitter.
 The association magnates believe the failure of several minor leagues to open their gates in the spring will be to the Advantage of the A. A. If the International does not start it will throw many good players on the min CT ;eaguemarket. Smaller leagues are also going to give up the ship, which means that some more good talent will be available. This should improve the talent in the A. A. and at the same time make talent so plentiful that the managers can remake their teams rather easily if they care to do so after the races are well started. Also it will tend to make players hustle to retain their jobs and not demand ex- Torbitant salaries, the magnates believe. Things are looking up for the new company which will operate the Kan sas City club. The fans are pegrnntng to take an interest in the club. Mana ger John Ganzel has brought several players who are expected to be valu- able in the big minor. GanzeI and his family have been in the east for the holidays, but will be back this week, when it is expected he will announce the purchase of a pitcher or two.
 The Blues have announced the sche- duling of the Chicago White Sox for a series of two games here April 1s ard IA. These are the only exhibition games arranged. The Blues hoped to play the Cubs. but if Weeghman de- Icided to cancel the California trip, the Cubs may not appear here.
 I,y Just at present Kansas City is the
 center of Western League activity, The league offices are located here
 and John Savage, owner of the Joplin

Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 18.-Stand- ing on the threshold of a new year, club owners in the American associa- ton face what they confidently be- heve will be a successful season des- bite the war. Having passed through a stormy period, due to the efforts of three magnates to withdraw from the league and enter what they termed third major league" the stand patters" believe the organization real ly has been benefited by the squab- ble and that it will now settle down to a campaign that will be marked by a close pennant race.
 The big minor of the west has oc- cupied more than it's share of the glare of the calcium this winter be- cGuse of it's action in abolishing the spitball, emery bal., shine ball and all other forms of delivery which re- suit from the application of foreign substance to the already elusive pei let. Legislation aga:nst these forms of delivery will cause several pitchers to go to other league and will wreck l enc or two pitching staffs, but the nagnates believe it will ultimately be | sL oOOd l1llAlS lO1 lI1S lSdSuC. iACy L1AAlAn it will increase batting averages and after all it is the dull boom of the base hit that is sweetest music to the 1 ears of the fanatics.
 The Indianapolis pennant winner: will have to sign almost new staff I if the new pitching rule is rigidly en forced, and Tom Hickey, the league chief says his umpires will be instruct ed to enforce tho rule to the letter Nortkrup, Dawson, Fillingim and Fal kenberg, who did the pitching tha save the Indians pennant, dependet on the now illegal forms of delivery

 would be wrecked. But Jack has de

Strange that the reformers. never raise a howl against wrestling
 They go the limit to slam boxing, They bring out their hammers against Sunday baseball and horse racing, but as rule, they never make as much as whimper against the mat game.
 Boxing, according to our best lit tie reformers, is brutal. Baseball on Sunday. and horse racing are demor- alizing. We have the word of the reformers for it, which doesn't make it unanimous by a whole lot, but they continue to yelp.
 Wrestling, when properly conduct ed, is just as much a manly sport as boxing, though not as popular. But wrestling, as it was conducted in the recent international tournament in New York, was a knock to itself. Still, no one made much of a howl except a couple of wrestlers. who pro- tested against losing part of their anatomieS

GOLFERS LET 60
 FROM SERVICE OF NATION

It's one thing to enlist in Uncle Sam's service and quite another to stay there, in this respect golfers are having their good intentions stymied by unforeseen happenings, and at the present time three amateurs well known hereabouts are on the sick list.
 It will be recalled that early in the winter Fred Herreshoff joined the ordnance department and little later when up the state contracted a severe cold, which developed into pneumonia Herreshoff was removed to a hospital in Troy. where little hope was entertained for his recovery. After lowering between life and death for several days the former metropolitan champion turned the corner and, according to the latest advices, is slowly regaining his strength.
 It was back in 1904 when lad in his teens that Herreshoff first sprang into promlnence by reaching the final round of the national amateur cham pionship tournament at Baltusrol. He lost to H. Chandler Egan. From that time on Herreshoff was always fac 1 tor in competitive golf, but @ was not until 1911 that he flashed to the fore | in a manner calculated to place his earlier performance in total eclipse. | Links followers will recall that na- l tional tournament at Apawamis. liar old H. Hilton, the British title holder, was there, as well as the cream of the amateur talent in this country. Her | reshoff disposed of one good player after another in his road to the final, his victims including W. c. Fownes, Jr., S. G. Stickney, Oswald Kirkby and the redoubtabie Charles Evans Jr. How Fred came within hairs breadth of sinking his putt to win the title on the home green and how at the extra, or 37th hole, Hilton was favored by a lucky break after a in different second shot, have He'd pages of golf annals.
 Although his game Slipped" con- siderably thereafter the Westbrook man showed he had few shots left by reaching the decisive stage of the Metropolitan Golf association cham pionship at Nassau in 1916. On that
 occasion he lost to Kirkby after a
 1dIo IldIC11.
 A golfer to leave this city early last
 summer was Humphrey Tiffany who
 enlisted as a private in the Second
 Field Artillery. Recently he became
 so i'll from rheumatism and other
 complaints that he received his dis
 charge and he is now under the care
 of his sister, Mrs. Jerome D. Travers.
 Max Marston's experiences as mem
 Der of a crew of a submarine chaser in Southern waters left the former New Jersey champion in such a weak ened condition that even now he is able to move About only with diffi- culty. On occasions recently the Bal
 tusro1 golfer has tried to do a little playing. but has never been able to go more than two or three holes at a ! time. His heart was affected and while recovery is slow physicians as- sure him that it is only a question of
 time when he will regain his former Ivigor.

LEAGUES LIKELY
 TO CUT PENNIES .
 OFF ADMISSIONS
Willing to Shave Off Cop, pers to Simplify Change Making and Avoid the Tangles Over Payment of War Taxes.

John A. Heydler, secretary of the National League; John E, Foster, sec- retary of the New ork Giants, and w. F. Shettsline, formerly of the Philadelphia Club, conferred at Ma tional League headquarters yesterday afternoon on the vexing problem of how the war tax on baseball game ad- missions can best be collected next summer.
 Their idea was to get ready some recommendation to place before the government officials at Washington next Monday, when the question will come up for settlement
 While nothing was said for publica- ton by the conferees, it was learned that their first effort will be to devise scheme sanctioned by the internal revenue powers that will do away with the necessity of handling from 10000 to 25000 pennies each day at each game in the big league It was realized that the physical la bor of making change with pennies 1 in the paying of the war tax would clog the runways at the entrance
 
 l none but the most rabid fans would undergo the experience of waiting in line while the ticket takers doled out the "coppers."
 It is understood that one of the propositions that will be made will | involve a reduction in the prices of some seats and a corresponding rise in the price of others so that even change can be made. | For example, where there are 25 cent seats (there are none at the Polo Grounds) the price, it was sug- gested, might be made p cents and the three cent war tax would make the total payment 25 cents. No departure from the usual price would be made in the case of the 50 cent seats, as the addition of the wal tax would make a 55 cent payment comparatively easy to handle.
 In the case of the 75 cents, and al the Polo Grounds these constitute the bulk of the admissions; the price may | be dropped to 72 cents, making an 80 cent payment cover the admission and the tax.
 II If, however, the league decide the reduction on these seats would cost too much, the price of the seat may be raised to TT cents, and with the war tax make an S5 cent total
 To offset this the $1 seat may be reduced to 90 cents and an ever dollar charged for the seat plus the [ tax.
 No decision was reached regardins the question of payment of the ta1 on free passes. It has been suggested 5 that the tax on these be paid in ad vance, but it was thought best to fint out first whether the government of - ficials will construe this as a tecnni cal violation of the law, which pro = vides for payment on each separat,
 admission.

in evidence in the recent tourney, uses what he calls a headlock It just manages to escape being a twin for the strangle hold, which is under the ban, but because there was no rule against Lewis hold he was allow. ed to get awy with it to the point where he cme close to taking Wladek Zbyszko on a personally conducted tour to a world unknown.
 The head hold is apparently more dangerous than the strangle hold. It is so dangerous that Zbyszko beAme unconscious from the effects of it, and everyone who saw the match agrees that it should be barred.
 Wrestling is very much a mans sport. It requires ability to stand an unlimited amount of punishment and it requires men of great strength but it should be cleansed of such things as the head hold. It can get along without them, and the pro- motors should see to it that the game is protected by rules which leave no opening for bone-crushing methods.

BROWN TRAINING DILIGENTLY IN
 HIS QUARTERS

How would you like to take a run these cold morning for about an hour and half before breakfast? One might say it would get up some ap- petite and others we are afraid would rather have less appetite than go through such stunts. But this is the life of Chic Brown, the New Haven southpaw, who is training for a 20- round bout with Battling Kunz, which is to be fought before the Arena A. c. next Monday night.
 While Brown has set rules for train ing and always abides by them which accounts for his wonderful physical condition and endurance in all the bouts in which he has figured, his training for his 20-round bout is more strenuous than ever. This is the first time Chic has trained for a bout over the marathon course and it may be of interest to the average fan to know something of Browns work in prep aration for the long grind. Those who think Brown rolls out of bed at eight o'clock in the morning and goes to the breakfast table in his bath robe for nice morning feed, or has his rolls and coffee brought to him in bed, have another think coming. Chic is called at 8 every morning. He dons heavy woolen underwear, toboggan | cap and extra heavy sweater and with his trainer, Eddie AIcPartland, goes out on the road. It makes no difference how cold it is OF what the weather is. Chic has COW hide boots and carries stick. They leave
 Browns house about 8:30 a. m. and
 run down as far as NIurphy's road
 house on the Lighthouse Point road. They sprint and trot. The plan is to
 trot the distance of ten telegraph
 poles and sprint the distance of five.
 They do shadow boxing on the road
 and pick up stones which they throw
 with their right and left hands to
 keep limbered up. They return to
 Browns home in about an hour and 1 a half where they take a shower bath
 and Brown gets rub. Breakfast is
 served at 10 o'clock and Chic enjoys toast and tea with couple of soft
 boiled eggs Brown Foafs around the house until noon when he has his hearty meal of the day and in the af- lternoon about 3 o'clock starts in his gymnasium training at Fitzgerald &
 Malone's. He works until 4:3O o'clock,
 takes bath and rub down and is
 through training for the day.
