SCOTT PERRY, MACK'S STAR.
BALKS AT SALARY OFFERED

Just what a frst-class pitcher is
worth in dollars and cents to ball
club is hard to accurately determine,
but a pitcher worth fighting for is
surely worth a pretty nice salary, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer. 1t will be
remembered that there was a pretty
nice row kicked up over the Scott
Perry case last year. Perry was Sc
cured by the Athletics. but was
awarded to Boston by the national
commission.
The Mackmen liked Perry so well
that they secured an injunction re
straining the enforcement of the COM
missions order. That led to the great
clash between the American and Ma
tional leagues and a demand for re-
organization of the commission. For
tunately the Mackmen finally pur-
chased Perry from the Boston club, or
rather reimbursed Boston by the pay
ment of some money, and the case was
dropped.
Perry pitched twenty-one winning
games for a tail-end team. That sure
~ gives him the record of being the

NEW OWNER OF BRAVES
IS NATIVE OF NEW YORK
George W. Grant, London Movie
Magnate, Used to Commute
5000 Miles to See Games.

The new owner of the Braves,
George W. Grant. was introduced to
the men from whom he bought the
team by John McGraw, but Grant
needed no introduction to the game
itself. either when he first decided to
become an owner or throughout the
previous years. He was, is, and says he
always will be a fan of the brand that
departs from every ball game voice.
less and tottering, hopping the brow
and ecstatically happy.
Il guess" said Mr.. Grant, recently
he has lived much in England. but
not long enough to learn to say Il
fawncy"-'1 guess I'm about the only
fan who commutes 5000 miles or
more every now and then to see a
game Every once in a while during
my years in England wild desire to
see a game would grip me and I'd
book passage on liners and beat IL
home to see a battle at the Polo
grounds"
Steadily while he lived in England
Grant subscribed for all the New York
daily papers SO that he might pore
over the sporting pages in London
and hold post-mortems over the va
rious innings many days after the last
putout recorded in the home papers
had happened. When the Giants made
their trip around the world few
years ago Grant journeyed from Lon
don to Italy SO that he might pick
up the Giants at Naples and accom-
pany them on the last leg of their
trip.
Mr.. Grant was born in New York
city slightly more than forty years
ago and humbly began to amass a
bankroIl first by selling newspapers
in Manhattan streets. The base ball
germ got into his system early in
life AS a boy and youth he found
time enough between editions to get
into corner lots games himself, with
the result that when he was in his
teens and early twenties he had be-
come an exceptionally good amateur
player.

TABERSKI LEADS LAYTON
Pocket Billiard Champion Wins
First Two Blocks of Match,
Total Score, $50 to 207.

The pocket billiard match between
Frank Taberski. champion of the
United States, and John Layton, the
former world champion, at 500 points.
started at the Royal yesterday after
noon and proved highly interesting
from the break until the last ball was
pocketed. Taberski won out, 100 to
109, his high run being 35, which was
unfinished when he reached the last
point of the block. Layton had high
run of 43 and near the end had
nice lead of 25 balls.
The playing of the second block in
the evening drew out a capacity audi
ence, many being turned away for
want of room. Taberski also was the
best in the second block. winning by
the score of 125 to SO. Both players
reeled off runs of 43, but Taberski
maintained the lead from the start.
The totals on the two blocks are:
Taberski, 250; Layton. 207.
In both the afternoon and evening
matches Layton had all the worst of
the breaks, frequently pulling off al
most impossible shots. only to find
himself tied up, while Taberski got
out of difficulty with the consummate
ease of an artist. Both men are close
together in pocket billiard ability, and
little luck gives either one the
shade. Layton probably has gone
slightly stale, as he has been giving
exhibitions at the rate of two a day
for the past six months. while Taber-
ski has been out only two weeks. The
exhibitions of fancy shots at the end
of each block are about the best that
have ever been shown in this city A

ders on the marvellous on account of
the wonderful accuracy displayed.
George Killeen, the champion OF the
District, performed the duties of ref
cree in a very satisfactory manner.
The third block is being played this
afternoon, starting at $3.50. and the
final block will be run off tonight. the
opening break being scheduled for
$40.

MORAN TO MANAGE
CINCINNATI TEAM
Giants New Coach Gets
Clubs Permission to Take
MatheWson's Job.

NEW YORK January 2t.-Pat
Moran. who was signed by Manager
McGraw January to coach the
Giants pitchers, has been appointed
manager of the Cincinnati Reds, to
succeed Christy Mathewson, who is
new a captain in the Gas and Flame
Division in France. Moran. with the
permission of the New York club.
went to Cincinnati Wednesday night
and closed the deal with August
Herrmanns club yesterday.
Manager McGraw of the Giants.
while he was reluctant to part with
such a valuable addition to his club,
did not care TO stand in Moran's way,
when 1t was learned that Cincinnati
wanted Pat for manager. The Giants
willingly gave up their claim on
Moran. in order 10 permit him to take
a better JOB. The only thing which
will stand in the way of Moran's TAX
ing the position will be an eleventh
hour cablegram from Mathewson that
he can be discharged from the service
in time TO get back to take the Reds
on their training trip. AS no word has
been heard from Matty, it is not be-
ieVed that he will be back in time.

MATTY TO LEAD GIANTS
MoGraw May Withdraw as Man
ager, According to Report
in New York.

NEW YORK, January 31.-Christy
Mathewson, idol of New York base
ball enthusiasts for many years. may
become manager of the New York
Giants, according to reports in well
informed base ball circles here today.
While official confirmation of the re-
port is not obtainable, the fact that
Pat Moran yesterday signed con-
tract to succeed Mathewson as man
ager of the Cincinnati Reds is regarded
as significant.
Mathewson. who is in France as a
captain in the chemical service of the
United States Army, failed to answer
cablegram from President Herr
mann of the Cincinnati club concern
ing a renewal of his contract. John
J. McGraw, who recently acquired
part ownership of the Giants, is re-
ported to be anxious to relinquish the
burdens of active field managership.
McGraw and Mathewson have been
close friends for years.

Some of the more financially power
full operators of both the big leagues
already regret the circumstance that
a joint player limit of twenty-one was
adopted for the coming year. The
roster number in question met with
ratification before the major leagues
granted the minor leagues absolute
power to manage their own affairs.
With this boon granted clubs which
spent money lavishIy in the past and
especially last season to comb together
the best talent of the minor circuits

most successful finger in the Ameri-
can league last year. He stood by the
Athletics when they needed him most,
but he claims the salary offered him
for the coming season is so small that
it will probably pay him as well to
stick to hard work and play base ball
on the side.
His is only one of several cases that
have already cropped up. 1t looks as
if ball clubs, or at least many of them,
are going to have difficulty in resign
ing their players this year. There is
no question that some players have
been overpaid in the past: that they
have drawn salaries out of all proper
ton to the money taken in at the
gate, but at the same time the play
ers must be considered and given a
fair deal if base ball is to occupy its
high place in the world of sports.
The club owner has the short end of
it by having to meet the salary roll
twice a month, good years and bad
years. but the player is on the short
end when it comes to getting a salary
which he believes he is worth. If he
does not accept the salary offered him
he has no alternative but to quite base
ball if the club to which he belongs
refuses to sell him.

All four teams are due to appear

encounter and Maryland State ana
George Washington in the second half
of the bill. The first half of the sec
ond game is to take place between
the halves of the opening contest, the

Most of the interest should center
around the contest between c. u ana
Gallaudet. The BTooklanders so far
have the margin on the other quints
in the league, and if they can whip
the Kendall Greeners should capture
the championship. 1t will be up to
them to stop DoWnes, Gallaudets star,
and in all probability that is some
thing Glasscott, probably the best
guard in the section, will be sent in
especially to do.

much of "a showing against George

not to have had practice either. After

buy. And as the minors will not be-
gin operations until long after the
majors, it looks very probable that
the National and American League
clubs will have to give away raft
of recruits.
The circumstance may prove a boon
to the "hard-boiled egg" element of
fast company which attempts each
year to pirate as many undeveloped
chattels as possible from rivals.
Indeed, there is Il feeling, especially
among the majority OF American
League clubs, that the roster limit rule
should be suspended pending the ar
rangen.ent with the minor leagues of
a new working agreement.
Such a step would occasion the mu-
tual consent of the majority club
owners of the two contracting major
leagues. But it IS matter which
might be decided very easily by 3

Could Wait No Longer.

President Hermann of the Reds
has been trying for some time to find
just when Matty will be discharged
from the service. but has not been
able to find out definitely. AS it is
necessary to make plans at once for
the coming season, Hermann decided
to wait no longer a few days ago
he started negotiations with the New
York club for Moran. Several prob
able candidates had been mentioned
for the job. among them being Clar-
ence Rowland, former manager of the
White Sox, and Bill Clymer, former
manager of the Louisville club.
Heinie Groh. the Reds third baseman.
was also mentioned as a candidate.
Mathewscn became manager of the
Reds during the season of 1917, and,
while he had first-class ball club, it's
efficiency was 1essened by internal
dissension among the players. Last
season, in August, conditions became
so bad among the players that Math-
ewson brought about the suspension
who was given a hearing yesterday
by the National League.
Liked in Quaker City.
Moran's remarkable success with
the management in 1915. stamped him
as one of the best leaders in the game.
In four years he won pennant in
Philadelphia and finished in second
place twice His release by President
William F. Baker was one of the big
surprises of the season. Moran has
the faculty of keeping harmony among
his players and getting the best sort
of work out of them. With the ex-
cellent talent he will have in Cincin-
natl it is expected that the Reds will
have the best season they have had
for many years.
The withdrawal of Mathewson as
manager of the Reds may bring about
a prediction which was made several
years ago by Manager McGraw that
Matty would some day be a coach for
the Giants. 1t is believed that if he
desires to stay in the game the place
of chief adviser will be offered to him.
Ultimately he may become manager.
The Giants have never had a player
who enjoyed the popularity of Math
ewson here, and his engagement as
coach would be a popular move. His
friends, however. say that Matty is
through with base ball, and will re-
tire from the game.
