W. & J. GRID COACH
Friends of Amos Blame Factional
Strife for Failure of
1881 Eleven.

WASHINGTON, Pa, December 90
Washington and Jefferson College today
appeared in the ranks of colleges seek
ing a new foot ball coach for 1882.
William T. Bill" Stobbs appeared the
probable successor to Bill Amos as
coach of the presidents. Stobbs has
just completed schedule in which his
team was undefeated at Wittenberg
College, Springfield, Ohio.
The w. and j. Athletic Board has ap-
preached Stobbs, the Wittenberg coach
said today, but will take no action until
it meets next month. The board men,
berS declined to comment.
Amos has been subjected to criticism
by undergraduates and alumni since
the 1881 team, one Of the most promis-
Ing in the East at the opening of the
season, failed to win several games.
Amos could not be reached today.
Friends of Amos place the blame on the
situation at the school. They state that
throughout the last season Amos was
handicapped by having warning factions
on the team.
Amos Is w. and J. graduate and
former All-America selection. The 1881
team was Amos second at the school.
Stobbs has been at Wittenberg for
three years. His contract expires next
September. At w. and J. he also would
be coaching his alma mater, he hav-
ing played on one of Bob Folwells
strong President elevens Is years ago.
After graduating in 1918, Stobbs
coached Linsley Military Institute at
Wheeling, w Va; was assistant coach
at the University of South Carolina,
played professional foot ball at De-
| troit, coached Wheeling High School
and then returned for another season at
Linsley.

HAFEY NOSES OUT
HITTING TITLE WIN
Barely Beats Terry and Bot
tomIey for National
League Crown.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
n yEW YORK, December 26.-The
N closest batting race the Ma
tional League has witnessed in
nearly 40 years finally has been
decided in favor of Chick Hafey, be-
spectacled slugger of the st. Louis
Cardinals.
The official batting averages, released
yesterday, credit Hafey with an average
Of .3489, less than a full percentage
point ahead of his rivals, Bill Terry of
the New York Giants and Jim Bottom
ley Of the Cardinals. Terry came in
second with a 3486 mark and Bottom
ley third at .3482.
Not since 1892, when Clarence Childs
of the Cleveland Nationals beat out Dan
Brouthers of Brooklyn by the margin
of 1851 to 1880, had it been necessary
to carry the percentages out to fourth
figure to decide the batting champion
ship.
Averages in general for 1881 we're
far below the 1880 marks, and only
three players who finished among the
leading 10 year ago were able to re-
peat-Terry, who won the 1880 title
with a .40l mark, Chuck Klein of the
Phillies and Frank O'Doul of Brooklyn.
Klein finished fourth with 337 av-
erage, and O'Doul was only one point
farther back. Behind them came
Charley Grimm, Chicago, 33l; Rogers
Hornsby, Chicago, 1905: Hazen Cuyler,
Chicago, $3.50; Ethan Allen. New York,
.329, and Charles Fullis New York, 1928.

WHITE SOX OFFER
BRAND-NEW FRONT
Vigorous Shuttle, Strange
Faces, Fonseca Innovations
Change Club.
BY PAUL NICHOLSON,

- HICAGO, December 26.-Chi-
cago's White Sox will be the
Y 4 mystery team of the American
League as never before when
the firing opens for the 1882 champion
ship flag.
Since the close of their futile cam
paign to escape the cellar last season,
the entire White Sox organization has
been shaken so thoroughly that few will
recognize it as the same. The "old
Roman" Charles A. Comiskey, who
directed the teams policies with an
iron hand from the beginning, has
passed on; his son, J. Louis Comiskey,
has taken charge with a resolution to
shake the club from top to bottom, and
a new manager has been appointed to
carry on his policies
THE younger Comiskey alre dy has
i started the big task of overhauling
the club by two of the biggest deals
in the American Leagues Winter mart.
He snapped Outf1elder Carl Reynolds
and Second Baseman Johnny Kerr to
Washington for Infielder Minter Hayes
and Pitchers Irving Hadley and Sad
Sam Jones, following through by trading
Pitcher Bob Weiland to the Boston Red
Sox for Milt CASTOR.
And we have just started TO trade"
Comiskey said. I'VE are ready to trade
any player on our club, except Pitcher
Vic Frasier, if we can get what we
want"
Another great White SoX experiment
in 1882 will draw the interest of the
American League, especially the rival
managers. 1t is the plan of Lew
Fonseca, successor to the fiery DOME
Bush as manager, to convert Smead
Jolley, slugging White Sox outfelder,
| into a catcher. He has performed as
catcher before, but in the minor leagues.
ITO start his first term as pilot of the
i White SoX, Fonseca, a playing
manager, has startled the majors
with his plan of no major league COM
petition in Spring training The club
will cut its Spring exhibition games to
minimum and engage only minor
| league teams.
A host of promising rockies will como
up next reason for Fonseca to work
with, but one Of his biggest questions
revolves about the condition Of two OF
his mound aces, Teddy Lyons and AL
Thomas, who were of little value to the
club last season. Lyons is reported to
have regained the power in his pitching
arm and so has Thomas, but Fonseca
worries just the same.

SMALLER LEAGUES
IN D|REST STRAITS
Committee of Five to Hold
First Meeting in January
at Louisville.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER,

n JEW YORK, December 26.-
VI The first meeting of the
1 Y minor league committee
of five will be held in
Louisville on January 10. If there
is any one who is burdened with
a desire to help the cause of minor
league base ball, either orally or
by written suggestion, the COM
mitttee will be glad to entertain
advice.
In an announcement made prior to
its first gathering for business the
chairman of the committee says: HAY.
ing given these matters mature thought
and arrived at conclusions you deem
would be advantageous to our associa-
ton, you will, by revealing them to this
committee, materially contribute 10 the
success of its labors."
That is a pleasant invitation to all
Of the minor league men who assisted
III the revolution Of West Baden" 10
submit their proposals for reform.
MEN in the class AA leagues are not
1'1 impressed with the necessity for
reform. They believe 1t is the
smaller minors which need tonic. The
type OF league known as class c and
class D has vanished too rapidly. It
is lowest in classification and in come
| respects, nearest to the fans, because II
carries on a league race in the smaller
cities. The trouble with most of them
is that they have attempted to operate
their clubs with too great salary lists.
Expenses in other ways have not in
creased materially, and some Of them
are better off in that respect than when
the trolley leagues were at the height
OF their prosperity.
| There is no intention of electinR a
president of the national association
for 1892 by ballot of the Committee
Of Five. The election of Judge William
G. Bramham to the chairmanship of
the committee is the temporary equiva-
lent of a presidency for the association.
He has been given practically all the
powers Of president.
/ COME of the plans suggested for the
- organization Of leagues in the South,
Southeast and Southwest have been
| rejected because they come too close to
| the laws of so-called trade restriction.
! The method Of operation combined all
! the elements of pool which was OBJ
ligatory rather than cooperative. Fears
have been expressed that If leagues
pooled their obligations they would
hsgin to transfer their players on the
| pool basis, which would be distinctly
unSportsmanlike and give the game
black eye. 1t is not probable that 1t
would be recognized by Judge Lands
I Although the major leagues have
/ gone back to the policy Of owning
| farms, which they once forbade by reso-
| luton, there are major league owners
who are opposed to the plan, and

TINE most interesting sport news of
the moment is Chick" Nee
hans decision to coach foot ball
at Manhattan College, where
Johnny Law, formerly Of Notre Dame,
coached last year. 1t IS evident Meehan
did not wish to leave New York and the
vicinity of his outside business.
Manhattan College has about 100
students. 1t was founded in 1864, and
has had few really great fcot ball teams
since that time. 1t is likely to improve
on the gridiron
1t is said that Chick" Meehan will
aid in the schedule. which has not yet
been made out. In this way there is
small doubt that Manhattan will get
more desirable games, as Meehan is
popular with all other coaches and
graduate managers and they undoubt-
edly wils help him all they can.
The chances are that Chick" Nee
han could have had any of a number
of other coaching jobs. But, not only
is it likely that he would like to stay in
the city he has made his home, but It
Is only human that he would be pleased
to build up another fine team in the
immediate vicinity Of his old field of
endeavors.
Manhattan had some good, heavy,
fast material last season, and the very
fact that Meehan is there will draw
athletes to the place, Meehan is a good
holiday gift for Manhattan.
Connie Mack, at SO, is the oldest
young man in base ball. He is, at
least, the oldest young manager.
Unlike some Of our champions,
Connie Mack has not become slower.
His legs are as good and as long as
ever His brain still runs the bases
in record time 1t is as fast as ever
and more experienced.
Connie Mack has handled the great
players, and the fast players, and the
husky players, and few of the nut
players, and he still Is going strong

in the big league, whole most of those
others are back on the farm.
1 expect to see Connie Mack out
there wagging that score card for about
40 years more. Then he should let
his son run the team.
Before long now the base ball slaves
will be shipped to Southern sunshine
to eat at the clubs expense.
When he is on the road a base ball
player is well cared for. All he has
to do for himself is his thinking on
the bases.
Once there was boxing bout where
