LEAGUE PLAYERS
PLAN UNDERWAY
Want MatheWson to Act as
Organizations Head-An-
nouncement Soon.
BIZ HENRY FARRELL.
United pTess Shorts Editor.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Organiza-
ton of another brotherhood or
union" has been started among the
major league baseball players, it was
learned today.
Quiet movements have been made
among the players all season, but the
organization has not been completed
and it's complete plans will not be
announced until near the end Of the
season or during the winter.
Efforts will be made to get Christy
Mathewson, former Giant star pitch
er, now recovering from tuberculosis
at Saranac Lake, to act as the presi-
dent OF the organization.
The organization will attempt to get
a representative of the players on
the National advisory board, which
consists of Commissioner Lands,
John A. Heydler, president of the
National League, and Ban Johnson,
president Of the American League.
At various times since the old Play
ers' Fraternity ceased to function, the
players have been considering the
formation Of another organization.
The demand for such a protective body
was felt to have been acute last win
ter when Babe Ruth. Bob Meusel and
Bill Percy were suspended for violat-
ing the Transforming rule
The players took the position that
the rule was unjust to them and
that practically all Of the rules along
the same line were drawn from the
club owners viewpoint alone.
Efforts will also be made, 1t Is I'M
derstood to have a different form OF
contract adopted in the major leagues.
The players maintain that under the
present system they haven't chance
TO have a voice in their own affairs
and have no appeal from form of
virtual slavery" that the present
form OF contract places them in.

Notre Danes football prospects for
1922 are promising. despite the loss
Of several Of the stars of the crack
team of 1921. according to Coach
Knute Rockne.
Coach Roclcne visited in Indianapo-
lis this week and golfed with Al
Feeney, former Notre Dame star.
I'VE hope to have a fair team, -
admitted Rockne as he walked across
the golf links. There We're rs in
the spring practice workouts, and
some of them are fast"
Notre Dame is harder hit by loss
Of letter men than any other big
football team in the country. Eighteen
men were lost by graduation. When
It is mentioned that among these are
such stars af MOZART, Wynn, Shaw,
Kiley and Z. Anderson and H. An.
derson, then It is easy TO see that
even the best coach would be worried
about next season.
Smiles at Prospects
Rockne did not seem to worry
about Notre Danes prospects and
smiled as he told Of some Of the
"scrappy boys" who probably would
make the varsity this year.
Cashier should make good at full
back. Lieb, American champion dis
Gus hurler, is another back field pos
sibility. Carberry, last seasons sub
end. is captain of this years varsity.
De Gree, a guard, is another good bet.
Desch. Joe Bergman. Kane, Red
Maher and Pete Smith all are sure to
be seen in the backfield or at end.
Smith probably will play quarter
back
Then there are the fourth and fifth
members of the Miller family. Harry

about fourteen years ago. was the
first Of the five brothers to go to
Notre Dame. Ray Miller, an end,
and Walter Miller, full back, We're the
next two. No. 4 is Gerald Miller. and
his kid brother is Don Miller, who
are after positions on the Notre
Dame team this year. Gerald Miller
has a chum, Milbauer, ESQ pounds,
who also is sure to try for the team.
Third Brother
Joe Bergman is the third of the
three brothers to play at Notre Dame.
Alfred was the first and Arthur the
second of the Bergmans. Their home
is at Peru, Ind Joe, like his brothers.
is a back field man.
No wonder Coach Rockne smiles
when he thinks of his material for
his football team. But, then. it must
be remembered that he has one of the
hardest schedules ever arranged for a
Notre Dame team. Ten games are on
this list. The game that the Indian
apolis football fans are interested in
is the Notre Dame and Butler affair,
to be played in Indianapolis Nov. l.
