When the Yankees are furnished
with their new stadium in New York
there may be a different allotment Of
dates. 1t might even go so far as
arranging games between New York
and Pittsburgh for Sundays. Pitts
burgh can be reached overnight The
same thing might apply between New
York and Cleveland and New York
and Detroit in the American League
one state authority suggests. how

Charges to Be Aired.
., The National League has a little
discussion in prospect. 1t has not
quite risen to the dignity of quarrel
1T is an argument between the Phila-
delphia club as party of the first part
and the st. Louis club and Brooklyn
club as the defenders. President
Baker of Philadelphia has asserted
that both clubs have tampered with
certain OF his players, if his public
utterances have been correctly in
terpreted. Both of the other clubs
resent his remarks and deny their
truth: The affair will be thrashed
o0l III 1cdSue meeting.
Time was when such a stand by one
of the club owners might have been
good for seasons row and no end of
acrimonious affirmation and retaliation
Not much attention is paid to it now
ana perhaps ii is because of the form
ing sentiment that dickering in ball
players is not as popular as it was.
Hold-outs are bothering the clubs of
Doth leagues. Several players of con-
sequence Lave not signed their con-
tracts and have demanded sums far
IN excess of their probab BILE worth
some of them are looking for publi-
city and little more advertising for
their outside ventures

the owners stand firm.

International League club owners

of an organization would base ball be!
If that would not be Capitalization

of the base ball owners frankly say

NEW YORK. February 13.-Charges
of "tampering" with other club play
ers recently preferred against the
Brooklyn National League club by
William f. Baker. president of the
PhillieS. were answered today by
Wilbert Robinson, manager Of the
Superbas.
In a letter written at Dover Hall.
Ga, and made public by Charles
H. Ebbets. president of the Brooklyn
club. Robinson admitted that he had
sought, by direct communication. the
services of Shortstop Fletcher of the
Phillies. He denied. however, that he
intended any wrong.
while at the December meeting of
the league in New York." wrote
Robinson, II mentioned to Wilhelm,
the Phillies' manager, how badly
needed a shortstop. He thought q
minute. then said: Write to Fletcher;
he doesn't want to play in Philadel-
phia. but might play in Brooklyn
Il told Wilhelm I had no right to
talk or write to a player without the
consent of his clubs president, but
he told me to go ahead and that he
would explain to Mr.. Baker"
The Brooklyn club announced the
signing of two new players-Catcher

The fact has developed that finans.
cial arrangements attending the Ilay.;
ing. of foot ball games at the Pole
Grounds in New York have not sp-
pealed to the authorities Of certain
college institutions whose teams ap-,
peared there last season. Tha anega.
tion is that the terms-saio TO be
,,v1 ,f he aSvafc oil
had been deducted-were far mores
favorable to the New York Giants
management than to the teams in
volved. The coach of one western
eleven says he does not wish to come
to New York again under similar con-
ditions. 1t is also limited that one,
of the reasons why the annual Army
Navy game is to return to Philadel
phia is the feeling that the game
in New York had become too greatly,
emphasized in it's commercial aspects.
Whether this is true or not. the
fact remains that foot ball games
played on fields essentially devoted
to professional sport. owned by conn
panieS whose business lies in the eX--
hibition field. are logically subject to
bargains as shrewd as may be. Ger
tainly. the New York base ball club
last years foot ball games and was
clearly entitled to make as much out
of them as it could. 1ntrinsicailr,
foot ball is a game for college fields
and when teams leave their normal
and natural environment they mus.
expect to pay. as it were, through;
the nose.
