NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Interna-
tional League club owners, unable to
agree on the selection of a president
at their annual meeting here Mon
day, voted unanimously to protest
what appears to be an unjust and
very excessive penalty imposed
against George Topcorcer> and Man
ager Billy Southworth Of the
Rochester club for their part in a
near-riot during the final game of
the little world series" at Roches-
ter.
The penalty referred to was one
years suspension and 5000 fine for
Toporcer and $500 fine and brief
suspension of Southworth, by Mike
H. Sexton, president of the National
Asociation of Professional Baseball
Leagues (the minorS). The Inter-
national league offered support to
both players Gin their efforts to
bring about a reversal of decision"
Failing to elect a president, the
league named Charles L. Knapp of
Baltimore to continue as chairman
of the executive committee until the
minor league meeting at Chatta-
nooga Dec. 4, 5 and 6, when another
attempt will be made to select a
president.

The City Basketball League

and brings together the Beech
Grove Big Four and Hayes Body
Corporation. Two other games fol-
low at hour intervals. At 8 o'clock
the Big -Four A. A. and Marmon
Motor f1ves clash. This game prob
ably will be the best of the evening.
The Sahara Grotto and Earl
Radios meet at 9 o'clock.
The games in the league will be
played every Tuesday night on the
Y. M. c. A. floor. AS the teams
consist of former high school, COL

back field with Harmeson, WEIGH
and White and what a great back
field he has! White, while he is
overshadowed by the work of Harm
eson, WEIGH and Yunevich, who do
most of the ball carrying, has shown
great judgment.
But the point back of the White
thinking is Phelan. When Jimmy
played quarter back for Notre
Dame he was famed for knowing
what to do at the right time. APP
parently he has the ability to tell
other fellows how he did it, for he
certainly has made White into a
great quarter back.

EOR several years major league
Il clubs have cast longing
glances at outfelder Smead Jolley,
batting star of the San Francisco
Seas, but the Chicago White Sox
were successful in purchasing the
Coast League star at the request
Of Ownie Bush, new manager.
Jolley batted .346, 1897, .404 and
1856 in his four years with Frisco.
1t is believed he will hit major
league pitching almost as vel as
the Coast League variety. He's a
splendid thrower, but because of
his great size, 6 feet 3 inches and
220 pounds, he has never been
known to cover a great amount of
territory.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Nov. 49,
Coach Pat Page has taken a tip
from the Purdue Iowa game, and
started the week with defensive
work against overhead tactics
which clinched the Big Ten title
for Purdue last Saturday.
With a Big Ten victory at last
under their belts, the Hoosiers feel
that they might close the season IN
glory with victory over the cham
pionS. The team suffered hard
pummeing, however, in taking its
1914 fourth quarter victory over
Northwestern last Saturday.
Enthusiasm is running high on
the Crimson campus. The growth
of interest was shown by the heavy
sale of tickets Monday and $500
more ducats were rushed to Indi-
annapolis and Lafayette on requests.
officials stated temporary bleachers
would be erected, to take care of
from 5000 to 5000 more fans.

At that time, Purdue hadn't won

Phelan nodded together a team
which tied Indiana, traditional rival
of Purdue, and everybody considered
Jimmy a success.
Then came lean years. The best
Phelan could do was develop teams

He realized that in 1929 he prob

cellent football for Notre Dame
five years ago. He had a light, fast

FEATS IN OLYMPiCS
RECORDED 776 B. C.

Greece is Unfortunately proud Of being
the birthplace of the famous Olympic
games.
1t was n 776 B. C. that the names of
the victcrs in the ancient Olympic
games began to be recorded, but long
before that they had become an estab-
lished institution, the origin of which,
was ascribed to Hercules. They derive
their name from Olympia, in Western
Greece, and modern travellers can now
see the scene of these ancient contests,
held every four years, since the exca-
walton of Olympia by the Germans in

seems probable that young Barbutl
imagined all these things. There has
been plenty of smoke in connection with
these games. I know of one promoter
who paid high percentage of his gate
receipts to famous athlete who still is
performing under a sanction from the
A. A. u.
1t strikes me that the A. A. U. has
treated Barbuti most unfairly. and in
stead of showing a disposition to get the
truth of his allegations. has taken every
means to cover up and to bulldoze him
into silence concerning these charges.
1t begins to look as though the A. A. U.
feared a real investigation.
Temperamental Unfitness.
The A. A. u, which is credited with
doing much for amateur athletics in the
past, at the current writing seems to be
made up of petty bureaucrats, tempera-
mentally unfit for the important work
they assume to control, and certainly
incompetent to hold up those ideals of
craftsmanship of which amateur organ
iZationS talk so much. At meets the
A. A. u. usually has more officials with
badges than athletes.
It seems that they delight in showing
what the sport writers call the heavy
LldIlu VI tIic A. n. y. Hey lIle
mouth of Barbuti with the heavy hand
and recently they suspended two girl
swimmers apparently merely by way of
showing their authority.
In advance of the OlympicS before
last the members of the Women's
Swimming Association Of New York,
which developed Gertrude Ederlc
and nearly all the Olympic winners
for three sets of these games, we're
disciplined" by the same A. A. u.
The association sent team across
to England to compete and to show
what had been accomplished by this
fine amateur organization, the Wom-
ems Swimming Association.
When they arrived in England they
were notified by the rules" of amateur
sports that If they did compete they
would be barred from competition in the
Olympic games. The reason offered by
the bureaucrats was that such a comE
petition might detract from the inter
est in the Olympic try-outs.
All the real authority-if any-which
the A. A. U. really can claim is the
privilege of ruling concerning amateur
ism of athletes. But they did not seem
particularly concerned with this phase
of the thing, If there is anything in
Barbuti's charges, and you can wager
that there is.
