HERMANN MUST GO,
AGAIN SAYS HEYDLER
May Vote for Three Man Com
mission, but Prefers
Single Head.

CHICAGO, Jan. AFTER q conference
with stockholders of the Chicago club,
John A. Heydler. president of the
National League, tonight left for French
Lick, Ind, where tomorrow he will Join
Barney Dreyfuss, president OF the Pitts
burg club and Ban johnson. president
of the American League, In drawing UP
baseball schedules for tho coming
season. The schedules VIII be adopted
at the Joint meeting OF the major leagues
In New York on January 16.
Heydler did not expect any opposi-
ton TO the proposed 14o game schedules.
although he revealed that the Chicago
club was not in favor of the short
season. He said the seven other clubs
agreed by q mail vote to 140 game
schedule.
What Heydier believed would be the
most important question to be considered
at tho Joint meeting was the formation
OF u new National Commission. He said
the National League would suggest the
appointment OF "one man commits
sion.
"If this cannot be accomplished !
shall vote for a three man commission
the chairman of which shall have no
connection with baseball either as q
club president or stockholder in any
club" Heydler said. This OF course
means that the National League does
not favor the retention OF August Herr
mann. the present chairman"
The National League executive made
an attempt to see Hank O'Day. the
veteran umpire, to sign him TO 1915
contract. but It was later learned that
O'Day had left for the South.

GIANTS GET SMITH
FROM ROCHESTER
Give Five Players and Cash
Consideration for Noted
Catcher.

The Giants yesterday closed deal
with tho Rochester International League
club by which Earl Smith. regarded as
the best minor league catcher of 1918.
became the property OF the New York
National League club.
The Giants had to pay stiff price
for Smith. especially as war times haze
greatly deprecated the value Of minor
league ball players. The Giants turned
over TO Rochester Outfelders Joe Will
holt and George Kelly, First Baseman
Jose Rodriguez. Pitchers Waite Hoyt
and Jack Ogden ana a cash considera-
ton.
Smith Is considered worth the price.
Several years ago he would have
brought considerably more. Baseball
scouts last season were practically
unanimous in declaring that Smith was
the best looking prospect In oil the
minor leagues He Is a catcher OF tho
Sohalk type. In that no Is very fast on
his feet and wonder fielding hunts In
front of the plate.
He also appears to be a natural hit
ter. He ranked second among '1nterna-
tlonal League regulars last season, hit
ting 1853. Smith was drafted late last
summer. but was mustered out OF the
army few days ago.
without is the best Of tho Giant play
ers sent to Rochester. He played regu-
larly with New York last season after
Kauff was drafted Wilhoit played with
the Braves and Pirates before coming
, to New York, and does not quite meas
ure up to big league standards.
Kelly has been the property OF the
/ Giants on and on since 1914, and seems
to be one Of those players who 90 like a
whirlwind in the minors but lose all theii
skin as soon as they face major pitch
ing. He was ono of the first players &c

summer OF 1917. He Is . sergeant and

COLLEGE DIRECTORS
OPPOSE ARMY DRILL
Pass Resolution Against Mill
tary Tactics in Educational
Institutions.

That military drill in the colleges and
schools does not appeal to the physical
educators OF the country as an efficient
body builder or recreative agent was
made known yesterday by Paul c. Phil
lips, secretary of tho Society OF Direc-
tors OF Physical Education. This or
ganization. which numbers among It's
membership practically all Of the leading
physical directors OF our colleges and
secondary schools, met al the Aston last
Saturday and passed a resolution against
military training. This resolution was
not framed finally until yesterday. II
reads as follows:
Whereas the War Department au-
thorities have found that a well organ
tied system OF physical training fur
nishes an excellent foundation upon
which to build specific military training
and does not advise the Introduction OF
military drill into secondary schools We
put ourselves on record as strongly dep
recating any movement toward the In
corporation of military drill into our
public school system"
The resolution Is in direct variance
with the advice some time ago pro-
pounded by Jacob Gould Schurman.
president OF Cornell. In his report to tho
faculty and trustees. He advised that
greater stress be placed on military drill
and less stress on the regulation ath-
| letic programme. lie thought that the
| two might be combined to make an in
| terestlng feature for physical training
DR.. Schurman's dlctum did not meet witt,
general favor
| 1t is recognized that military drill ie
| fine thing as a war time necessity. but
| 1t has been shown that sound founda-
ton Of physical fitness is tho prime es-
sential and that military efficiency may
be developed in short order on that
| foundation
