CROH DECISION
SHOULD BE WARNING
TO OTHER HOLDOUTS

The recent decision of Judge Kene-
saw NJ. Landis, commissioner of base
ball, in the case OF Heinie Groh, may
be regarded as a warning to ball play
ers in the future that deserving a club
for real or fancied grievances cannot
be rewarded by transfer to some other
club That Groh has been lost to the
Giants, who had all but closed a deal
for his services, will be regretted by
New York fans, who are keen to see
their favOrite teams made as strong
as is possible, but probably none will
deny that the new system will work
to advantage in the long run.
The ruling was in keeping with
other decisions of the learned jurist
since he assumed the reins as director
Of baseball affairs. 1t was charged by
some OF those opposing his election
to the position which he now holds
that Judge Lands lacked the knowl-
edge Of baseball matters which would
be needed for such post, but his &C
tons to date have not JUSTIFIED the
contention Going a bit farther than
his predecessors in reaching sensible
conclusions has been the story Of
Judge Lands ever since he assumed
charge OF the sport.
have gone even further in his decision,
though the Groh case may be regard
ed as sufficient precedent to prevent
recurrence 1t would be a good idea
to sound warning to all players that
any ball tosser who deserts his club
for any reason will be ineligible to
play with another team for the term
of one year from the refusal to report
for duty This would make it neCeS-
sary for a player to be on good terms
with the club owner holding title to
his services before he could expect
a transfer, even thoSgh he might be
dissatisfied 1t may be argued that a
hardship is worked on the player if
he is compelled to perform where he
is dissatisfied for one reason or an
other, but behind this is the outstand-
ing fact that baseball cannot be con-
Quoted unless the athlete recognizes
the right of the owner to control his
services at all times. His skill is the
main asset Of the owner, the thing
that makes magnates willing to invest
big money and pay large salaries.
There have been numerous in
stances in the past Of transfers be-
cause a player declined to perform
for the owner having control of his
services. Unless memory fails the
Giants got Slim Callee and Mike Con
zales under such conditions, the Yam
KEGS acquired Carl Mays, the Cubs got
Dave Robertson and virtually all
clubs at one time or another have
profted Under new conditions no
player will be able to hold retirement
from the game over the head Of his
employer in order to bring about a
shift to more agreeable surroundings.

Sporting Squibs
of All Kinds

Some golfers feel as foolish as they
look.
Mike O'DoWd has quit challenging
J. Wilson to a game of carom.
B. Leonard turned JUS $4,000 for
his end Of the Rocky Kansas exer-
else.
Chef Wynne, high hurdler, has
been elected captain of the 1922 Notre
Dame track team.
Our professional golfers made just
as good a showing with the Britons
as our amateurs did.
B. G. Lazelle, junior, has been
elected captain of the 1922 West
Virginia university track team.
Willie Hunters victory over Ameri-
can golf stars is a great stimulus to
goIf-English, not American.
Morris Duane, '23, of Philadelphia,
Pa, has been elected captain of the
Harvard university tennis team.
The harder the courts are the hard
err Bill Tilden has to play, but he's the
hard court champion Of the world
now.
If Rocky Kansas is the best light
weight bet to beat Leonard, then Ben
ny will probably outlast the present
generation.
The difference between the opening
of the hunting and fishing seasons is
that one starts with a bang and the
other with a splash.

NEW YORK GETS OLD
BASEBALL RECORDS

, The announcement has been made
that the entire collection Of the liter
allure and history Of baseball gathered
by the late Albert G.. Spaulding has
been presented to the New 4Ork Pub
lie Library by his widow, Mrs. Eliza
beth G. Spaulding, and has been for
mally accepted.
AT the very beginning Of his inter
est and activity in baseball Spaulding
began collecting and preserving praC-
tically everything bearing upon the
national game In addition to prac-
tically everything that has ever been
printed, there is great deal in the
torm of correspondence, official
records Of old-time games, reports OF
important sessions OF the early organ
izations, memoirs OF distinguished
magnates and players, rare old photo
graphs and voluminous newspaper
clippings Systematically preserved and
indeXed.
To these personal recollections and
records Of Spaulding was added the
collection Of Chadwick, known as the
est and most reliable collection of in
formation upon baseball in existence,
For several years individuals and uni
versities have known OF this collec-
ton and have made efforts TO pur-
chase it.
Spaulding made no disposition OF
the collection before his death, and
the widow has been guided by what
she thinks would have been his wishes
in the matter. Accordingly, she has
bestowed it where she thinks it will
be of the greatest use to the largest
number and be sure of appreciation
and preservation.
Again we have a striking illustra-
ton OF the foresight and industry OF
the collector and the public spirit
which so frequently goes with large
accomplishment.

CHICK FEWSTER SAYS
FATE PROTECTS HIM
Victim of Bean-BaII CroWding
Plate as Much as Ever.
Star InfieIder of New York Yankees
Assumes Crouched Position at
Bat With His Head Direct

Chick Fewster, star Yankee infield-

year, is crOwding the plate as much
as ever this season.
"In never be beaned again." says

Fans have specialized much on Few
ster's case. Last spring at Jackson
vile, Fla, Fewster was beaned by
jeff Pfeffer, Brooklyn pitcher.
His skull was fractured. For hours
he lay unconscious. His life was de-
SPARED of. For weeks he could not talk.
A piece of his skull about the size
of a dollar was removed. Fewster is
now a normal person.

SD oRT oTES

Having failed to get match with
Johnny kilbane for the featherWeight
title, Charley Beecher has turned his
attentions to the bantam title held by
Joe Lynch. Beecher has agreed to
make II8 pounds for Lynch and guar
antee him $4,000 for bout in New
Iork. Beecher defeated Lynch year
or SO ago, but at that time Beecher
was bantam himself and had no
| trouble making the weight. Since he
has been mixing it up with the feath-
ers Beecher has grown considerably
heavier and he may find Lynch a
| tougher opponent than the veteran
kilbane.
Whether Benny Leonard could have
made better showing against Rocky
Kansas than he did is a question that
was argued holly by the crowd who
saw the bout The champions judg-
ment Of distance was poor, but
whether this was because Of his long
spell Of idleness or because he was
thinking Of another bout in New York
is a question. The only thing the
crowd was sure about was that the
fight was not worth the trouble. Any
one round of the many Dundee-Leon-
ard bouts was worth more than the
whole - of the LeOnardkansas af-
fair.
Carl Mays, according to American
heavy" ball That is one of the
queer things of the game. Some play
ers throw a ball that settles in a
throw a ball that when it arrives
feels like a 12-pound shot. Cy Young
threw a heavy ball. SO did lilly Sha-
fer, of the old Giant infeld. Fred
Merkle used to say that when Shafer
whipped the ball across from third
10 first it felt like a sphere of lead
when it hit the mitt Jack Chesbro,
on the other hand in spite of his
speed, threw light ball.
Speaking about the lively ball, in
a double-header at Salt Lake between
the Salt Lake team and Vernon no
less than 05 hits were made in the two
games. The score of the first game
was II to 6 and the second, IA to 3.
Eight home runs were made in the
early struggle and four in the late af-
fair. Peter Schneider, former Nation
smashes in the first game and Gavvy
Cravath one Cravath also contributed
home run in the second game and
also made two-bagger.

Jack O'TOole, returning to the
Southern league as an umpire has
some observations to make on the de-

pitchers in the league today, says the
