GARRY HERMANN
WILL LOSE HEAD
Otherwise Commission Will
Remain Intact.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17-No radical or
immediate change in the personnel Of
the national commission appears likely
as a result OF the joint meeting of the
National and American baseball leagues
here yesterday afternoon. The sixteen
club owners Of the two major leagues
went IN record as favoring retention OF
the thTee-man commission. but provi-
sion was made for the election OF a
new chairman In the place Of Garry
Hermann.
1t was decided that the presidents
Of the two organizations could each Sc
lect two members of their respective
leagues TO act as joint committee TO Sc
lect some person outside of baseball
to act as the third man on the COM
mission, providing such selected nOmi-
nee is satisfactory to the two leagues
as a whole.
Neither league executive named a
committee yesterday, and 1t may be
several days before the club owners for
this important task are announced, No
time limit is placed upon their search
for a successor to Hermann, and the
latter will continue TO act until a new
chairman Is elected. II was stated that
no possible candidates for the position
had been named at the meeting.

PAYS TRIBUTE
TO EDDIE GRANT
Man Who Held Funeral for
Harvard Eddie Writes.

John McGraw, manager of the New
York Giants, has received a letter from
Chaplain Henry d. Walker, U. s. A,
who held the funeral services over the
body of Eddie Grant, who lost his life
in the Argonne forest. 1t follows:
This letter is written by one who
is a total stranger to you. The reason
l am writing it is because / am sure
you would like to know about the death
of one who was associated with you
as a member of the Giants, namely,
Capt. Eddie Grant, SO4th infantry. 1t
was my sad duty to bury the remain
near the spot where he made the su-
preme sacrifice for the great cause
for which he came over here TO France.
He lost his life in leading an at
tack against the boche who had sur
rounded several companies of the SOSth
infantry trying to break through an
impossible barrier of machine gun and
artillery fire. Although tired and worn
out by a campaign OF heavy fighting,
he gladly accepted the command to ac-
cOmplish what several others had failed
to do. AS he led his command to, at
tack he fell the victim of machine
gun fire, heroically giving his life that
his comrades in arms in the 154th bril-
gade might be rescued. After a short
while we were able to approach the
spot where he fell and secure his body,
We buried him in a place where sew
eral of his fellow officers lie buried,
which had been prepared by the Ger
mans IN the. Argonne forest as a small
cemetery for their dead.
Capt. Grant was the most popular
man in the 304th infantry, well beloved
by his men, who would follow him
wherever he led the way. He had nc
fear of death, going where duty and
the spot where he poured out his life
blood that liberty and justice may pre-
vail.
This letter to you from one
who has been an admirer of the New
York Giants in their several fights fol
the pennant. l wish you a successful
season and hope that we can have
baseball on the same plane as before
the war"

MoRIARTY'S FAULTS.

A fan who is in close touch with the
baseball situation in Memphis was dis
cussing the hostility that Is unmistaka-
bly, in evidence around the Bluff City
for George Moriarty and which always
to the surface when the eX-De-
troit infielder is mentioned to again
lead the Tribe.
Memphis fans really knew little Of
Moriarty, but got all their dope from
tho ball players serving under George,
for they eve liked him, for various
reasons, The n big fault the ball
players found with George was that
he wouldn't pal with them and that
he always held himself aloof from them.
While other managers would take in
the picture shows, dancing halls INK
buddy with the ball players, Moriarty
never could see that sort Of stuff and
consequently the players soon figured
he was a snob. They expressed their
feelings to friendly fans and George
was soon in bad with the entire Mem
phis layout of baseball patrons.
"Moriarty to my certain knowledge
was never what could he called stuck
up, He merely believed that he could
enforce better discipline by keeping the
players aloof from him. for II he formed
friendships with them they would take
advantage OF it, Moriarty's ways were
not the ways Of the average minor
league manager, hence he was unpopu-
lar"

specimen and no athlete ever dared Il

CARUTHERSVILLE
AS TRAINING CANT
Live Missouri City Seeks Ma,
jor League Club.

Now that ball clubs are likely to
seek training camps nearer their home
locations, because of the later season
opening, Charlottesville, Mo-, appears
as a bidder for some major league or
higher class minor league aggregation.
Martin L.. Schmidt veteran minor
league catcher, who lives at Caruth-
ersville and has been interested in the
operations of an independent team
there, says that no better accommoda-
tons can be found anywhere than in
this town in Southeast Missouri. 1t
has springs that furnish medicinal wa
tiers and it has a ball park, he says,
that equals that of most minor league
towns, And it also has some ball team
that will guarantee practice games
worth while. This team played teams
from several army and aviation camps
last summer and gave all Of them
close battles.
Charlottesville fans are boosters for
both St. Louis teams, but there is a
strong leaning for Miller Higgins and
his Yankees and Schmidt's discussion
Of the chances Of various teams in
the two majors indicates that in the
smaller cities of the country, where
there is no minor league ball, a lot OF
interest prevails in baseball.
