VETERAN GREGG AT 40
 TOUTED TO COME BACK
Is With Washington and Harris Hopes He Will Come Through
 As Southpaw

Washington, Jan. 15.-Vean Gregg, almost 40 years Of age, comes back to the big show next year as a mem Der of the world champs.
 Gregg, a star dozen years back, after having practically given up baseball for good. started anew and after two prosperous years in the Coast league gets another chance in the majors.
 Baseball experts do not believe that Gregg will be of much use to Harris. On the other hand. Harris figures any left-handed pitcher who can get the ball over has a chance in the American league.
 For a southpaw Gregg is noted for his good control and should be able to satisfy Harris in that respect.
 Then again it must be remembered that Dabe Adams and Jack Quinn came hack to the majors after being labeled "has beens" and saw many years of good service.

MANCHESTER ATLAS
 FALLS BEFORE MATS
New Britain Team Wins, S7-25,
 Away From Home

The National Guards from this city went back into their winning stride last night by defeating the Manchester Atlas quintet, 37-25. in kacey Hall, Manchester. The locals started off in high gear, Reynolds, Taylor and Sheehan dropping bas- kets with great precision through out the first half, which closed with the visitors leading by 19 to 2. In the second half the game became rougher and the Atlas were better able 10 take advantage of their free throws than the Mats were. while their defense also stiffened, but the Mats still tore through it often enough to maintain their lead unim- paired.
 Taylor led the Mats in scoring. getting a quintet of shots of each variety while Sheehan played a great game at guard. Gustafson and Smith were the leading scorers for the home five. The score:

Nl4ASZS? KlzASLS? CONGRESS
 TO GOVERN NA HONAL GAME
Letter Signed by Ban Johnson Urges Govern ment Control of Baseball --Gives Proposals.

New York. Jan. 1b.--somebody has thrown a curve at American baseball. -s
 Into the discussions of the dia. mond game yesterday came a petit ton. headed by letter with the name Of B. B. Johnson, president of the American league, attached, which urges congress to take charge of the American national game. 1i- cense managers, players and um- plres and pay union salaries.
 The paper circulated here is be- lieved to have come from Cleveland as President Johnson's letter was addressed to Joseph A. Collier Of that city. The plan set forth fol- lows In part:
 No man, or get of men, may own more than one club In each league.
 Each club, umpire, manager, coach and player must secure li- cense from the government each year. and such license may be sus- pended for the good of the game. or for any other reason.
 No club may carry more than c5 uniformed men after the first month of any season. No trades or sales of players between the clubs of league may be made at any time without consent of the majority of clubs in such league.
 All players in league must be paid the same amount of salary, de- pending upon. length of service in any league of that class, or better. Each club may offer prizes every year for the best batter, fielder and pitcher, provided all clubs in the , league do the same and that all prizes are uniform. Each league will be free to make its own sched- ule Of rates every year"
 The petition calls for a commis- sion of three honest nien. appoint ed by the president of the United States, to administer the law, but not to administer the game" The commission would have headquar- ters away from the political at mosphere of Washington
 Jail penalties and fines are. sug- gested for any violations of the law.
 The letter signed by Johnson reads:
 Your position relative to the reg ulatioh of our national game Is cor rect. It is my firm conviction that we can only secure adequate and sat isfactory results through the medium of commission created by the gov ernment." .a ...F..

Charles H. Ehbets of the Brook lyn Superbas is one major league club owner who takes an active part in directing the affairs of his team.
 He is a practical baseball man. Ebbots knows the game from the cellar to the ceiling. If you don't think he does listen to his latest analysis:
 Two southpaws beat us ont of the 1924 pennant. I'll pay handsome bonus to anybody who will send me left-hander who can make good on my ball club.
 "All we need 10 win the pennant in 1925 is a good left-hander." . Ebbets, in digging deep into the pot of baseball dope, points out the cause of the Superbas' defeat in the close National league race In 1924. He does not scatter & flock of ad- jectives but simply says:
 "Yde of the Pittsburg Pirates and Bentley Of the Giants"
 Dcdt bouStTs lV CbH1es
 And the pitching records show that tha Pirates recruit won four out of five from the Superbas in 1924, while the Giants husky port sider won the six games he pitched against the Dodgers.
 It must not be forgotten that the superbas were but 1 1-2 laps be- hind the Giants when the race was decided last fall.
 The Superbas have been extremely fortunate with their right-handers. The case of Arthur Vance tops the list. Vance, tossed around the minor league circuit for years, passed up by many big league scouts, became a. star for the Superbas.
 Burleigh Grimes was regarded as a misnt in Pittsburgh. He was the hero in Brooklyn when the Super bas won the 1920 National league pennant.
 Bill Doak Pulled Comeback
 There was Bill Doak veteran spit- baller, with the St. Louis Cardinals last summer. Hewas passed up as a has been by the Cardinals. He join- cd the Dodgers and won F out of II games for them, putting together winning streak of 10 straight.
 The southpaw candidates for the Supcrbas of 1925 are not very promising, with tho exception of Dutch" Henry. He was sent to New Orleans last summer, has been recalled, and should be ready to de- livery.
 Henry was considered a brilliant prospect several years ago when he won l7 out of q for Mobile in the Southern Association.
 Nelson Greene and Corner Wilson are the only other left-handed candi- dates on the staff to report to Mana ger Robinson next spring.
