Football Officials of Josh Cody TO Accept

1t was voted to ask officials in
other sections to form group organ

association.
Its aims were expressed in this
resolution:
To promote the welfare of the

Manager Must Win Ball Games Satisfy Says uggy McG
BIG LEAGUES HAVE
NOT YET FINISHED
THEIR SCHEDULES
Differences Between New
York Clubs Must Be
SmO0thed Over

ATLANTIC, CITY, Jan 6.-John A.
Heydler, president of the National
Baseball League, announced here that
schedules for the two major leagues
were not completed Saturday by the
joint schedule committee and that
another day or two would be re-
quired to smooth out differences. He
added that progress was made.
Nothing can be disclosed concern
ing the problem of reconeiling the
differences of the two New York
clubs over the scheduling of CON
flicting home Sunday dates, Mr..
Heydler explained.
Concerning the difficulties over
conflicting Sunday dates for the two
New York clubs, President Heydicr
said:
Problem Increases
1T is unfortunate that personal or
club animosities should be injected
into the schedule question. Since the
American League club has acquired
its own playing field, the problem
has become increasingly difficult The
Yankees think that they should play
their sunday games and that the
Giants should not be scheduled on the
same gay. Inc NdllOndI league cup
contends that games in both leagues
should be scheduled for Sundays.
In my judgment we should not
treat this as a purely club or league
matter, but should look at it from
the angle of the public, Mr.. Drey-
fuss and I are agreed in this view
and while we are in opposition to Mr.
Johnson of the American league. we
are willing to shoulder the respon-
sibility of making some kind of a
test of this conflicting date contro-
versy so that the public may have
q chance to make the final decision.
AbOut Sunday Baseball
"As to Sunday baseball in general"
President Heydler added, ministers
have told me that Sunday baseball
rather than being a detriment to the
church attendance, has been a help
for the reason that when a person
knows he can find amusement in the
afternoon, he will, go to church IN
the morning"
Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the
Pittsburg Pirates, suggested the
scheduling of major league games on
Sundays at Atlantic City, provided
that ball park could be provided.
Restrictions against Sunday baseball
Mr.. Dreyfuss stated. forced both
Philadelphia clubs into idleness on
II any Sundays during the season, and
patronage of many of the Quaker
City fans would be assured at At
lantic City.

in Boston-the error that everybody
says cost us the series-I never gave
him one word of reproach. Any
player is liable to make an error.
That was not boner, as we call 1t.
1t happened to be one of those I'M
avoidable things that come at
costly moment. Often 1 have been
asked to tell exactly what L did to
Snodgrass for that. For the first
time 1 guess / will have to tell; I
raised his salary 81 900 year.
Snodgrass suffered more over that
one error than all the rest Of the
team put together. To blame. play
er for thing like that would show
little loyalty on the part of man
ager. 1t would ruin him for the flu
ture. Often 1 used to burn up
when I read in the papers of rumors
that 1 had released snodgrass.,
Raised MerkIe's Salary
In this connection / will confess
that 1 also raised Fred Merkle's sal
airy at the end of the season in which
he made the fatal blunder of not
touching second in that famous game
with the Cubs.
1 do not mean to imply that
premium should be placed on errors.
The chances are 1 would have raised
the salaries of both those players
anyway. / wanted them to under
stand that I would not let such mis-
takes stand in the way of their prog

lation of the spirit of team work.
Both were earnest and very valuable
cogs in our machine. To relieve their
feelings and restore self confidence
it was necessary that they under
stand that the manager and the other
players held them in just as much
esteem as ever.
If 1 mako myself clear I have tried
to point out the difference between
breaches of discipline and mere err
rors of commission. / fined Sammy
Strang for hitting home run and
winning a ball game, while raised
the salary of a man whose error had
cost a pennant and of another whose
muff of fly ball had lost the
worlds series.
All College Men
1t SO happens that all three of
these players were college FEN
young fellows with the advantage OF
systematic mental training. Snod-
grass and Merkle faced the gibes of
fans for. two years without MUIR
murst. Never did they offer an ex-
cuse.
Benny Kauff Is an excellent type Of
the man who comes into baseball
without mental training and who
could never grasp the idea of trying
to find his faults instead of trying to
hide them, Benny had great natural
ability. 1t was almost impossible,
though, to get his mind off himself
and on the team as whole. Benny
had no early advantages. He want
ed to be star. but he could not
realize that real star must rise
with the team to be of value.
George Burns, on the other hand
never regarded as a great star, was
one of the most valuable ball players
that ever wore the uniform of the
Giants.
