LEAGUE LEADERS TO .
AGREE ON TERRITORY
WHEN SEASON COMES

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. Dec. a.
work together when the time comes for
their respective territories to be re-
districted, announced e. w. Dickerson,
president of the prospective Central
league, after q conference Monday
with A. R. Tearney Of Chicago, pres
ident Of the Western and Three-I
leagues. ~ -~
It is Tearney's desire to increase
the Three-I league to include eight
clubs next season. and the two new
clubs which he wanted to include In
the circuit may be members Of the
new Central league. II the Michigan
cities are dropped from the Michigan
Ontario league.
It is almost certain that Saginaw,
Flint, Battle Creek and Bay City will
not be represented in the MO. league
next season, and that being the case,
Dickerson will try to land them for
the Central. .'.- - -,, .-,-~--
It IL believed the cities Tearney
wants for the Three-I league are Fort
Wayne and Richmond. II the Central
is forced to take in teams outside the
state. which is contrary to the wishes
Of President Morrissey Of the Grand
Rapids club. Fort Wayne and Rich
mond probably will be admitted.
Wants No outsiders.
II do not see why the league should
go outside the state for cities when 1t
has just as good ones right here IN
the state" said Morrissey.
Saginaw, Bay City, Flint, jackson
and Kalamazoo are. in my opinion,
Just as good baseball towns as Wheel
PiNh.
mond, Erie, Canton and other cities In
other states several hundred miles
away. would rather spend my money
in classier baseball than in travelling
expenses. The Central league played
to good crowds for years and few OF
the clubs broke even, for the reason
that the travelling expenses were SO
great that they ate up the receipts.
Flint is almost as large as Grand
Rapids. Bay City, Saginaw. Jackson
and Kalamazoo are all better towns
from the standpoint of business pros
perity than any of those in other states
which have applied for franchises In
the reorganized Central. do not be
lteve that the people are SO blind as
TO not take kindly to an all-Mihc1gar
circuit, simply because It does not
cover a wider territory, once we show
them that we are giving them as good
or better baseball than ever presented
here before by the Central league.
"My plan is to give Grand Rapids
the very best team that a highly ca
pable manager can sign up at salar!
feures higher than any salary limit
ever observed by the Central IN thu
part. When We can save $1,000
month in travelling expenses we cal
give the people a third better baseball
game than the old Central league
played"

Gatherings From the World Of Sport

Connie Mack has already broken a
vow that he made during the Ameri-
can league meetingst Then the leader
Of the anaemic White Elephants swore
a solemn oath that he would not trade
or sell the worst ball player on his
team. However, Connie walked right
into the mart of trade and acquired
Lyle Bigbee from Clyde Wares of the
Seattle club and slipped them Merlin
Kopp, .Bobbie Geary, q right handed
pitcher. and Ray Bates, who at pres
ent is more or less on the payroll of
the Los Angeles club of the Pacific
Coast league.
Both sides are we'll satisfied with
the trade. Bigbee. with proper hand
ling should develop into a good pitch
er, and it is believed that the fatherly
advice that Connie Mack gives his
ball players will have good effect
on Lyle. One Of the troubles with
Bigbee last year was the inability of
Bill Clymer to show the proper amount
of patience with the big spitballist
Bigbee is credited with having as good
a spitball as there was in the Pacific

on q steadily losing ball club.
When Lyle returned to the club he
had been out of. training for two or
three weeks, and a pitcher of his
caliber has to be worked regularly or
he loses his effectiveness. Connie
Mack has heard enough of Bigbee's
ability to desire to take a chance on
the right handler, and the fact that
he was ready to trade two experienced
ball players and good prospect as a
pitcher for the. Seattle hurler shows
that he probably has had some ad-
vance Information on the boy.
According to Manager Wares idea
when he left for the east, Bates will
be played at first base and Roy Muir
ply will be used at third. Both are
hitters of the clean up type, and that
was where Seattle was sadly lacking
last year.
With Kopp as leadoff man. Wares
in the second slot. Bates batting third
and Murphy fourth or fifth, the club
would have considerable punch. The
new men that Klepper may get from
other clubs in the majors will be of
the hard hitting variety, the fans may
rest assured.

1t has come out that the play which
lost for Yale the chance for q touch
down and tie score in the Yale Har-

by misunderstanding of signals.
When Braden on the fourth down, with
the ball just yard and half from
the Harvard goal line, made that blind
and futile plunge at center against the
massed might Of Harvard those in the
stands saw only what they considered
a bit of bad generalship.
