WEST BADEN, Ind, Dec. /.
Discarding the proposition to cut
down to 154 games, club owners
of the American Baseball Associa-
ton in session here today adopted
a schedule of 1853 games for next
season.
The season will open April IL
in the East and will close Sep
TENDER Is. This will allow time
to play the little world series with
the winners of the International
pennant.
President Thomas jefferson
Hickey and the owners strove
again today to settle the future of
the Toledo club. The receivers
said he is willing to sell the fran
chise and players for $4,000.
Ray Schalk, coach of the Chicago
Cubs, announced he is willing to
take over the club if it's debts are
discarded.
It was reported that William
Wrigley, jr., owner of the Cubs,
would bid for the Toledo holding,
but he wired from Los Angeles
that he is not interested.

1--WE all exercised self control.
You may be sure it was a most
severe test. But, our Self-cOn-
troll was rewarded. A quick for
ward pass, coming as a distinct
surprise to both officials and our
opponents, accounted for a
touchdown. Then q G. u. man
intercepted a pass and ran for
touchdown. In neither play

However, the main point is,

Football officials are human
They make mistakes. However
they prepare themselves very
carefully to officiate football
games. They follow a definite
plan in studying the rules. They
know the rules. They spend
hours and hours before games
brushing up that they may the
better officiate.
Unfair to Game
Spectators as a rule attend
games on Saturday. Never do ali
individual members of any foot
ball crowd know the rules. How
ever, no matter how well the
crowd knows. the rules, it is in
appropriate to boo" It is unfair
not only to officials, but to foot
ball. It is considered unsportS
manlike to manifest displeasure
by "booing" at football officials
They cannot answer the init
mated charge of dishonesty OF

up and make speech Of explana
ton every time they render a

A general idea of the caliber
of the New London eleven may
be drawn from comparative
scores. St. Francis College, the
team that lost to Catholic Uni

by the Coast Guard to the tune
of 80 to 0.
Other victims of the Coast
Guard include Langley Field,
which lost by 13 to 0; New
River State College, which fell
by the wayside, 81 to 0; Al

You will probably say that is

HiaIeah Meet

To 50 Days

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. Joseph
E. Widener, president OF the
Hialeah Park race track here,
was informed by the Florida
State Racing Commission that
his track has been allotted only
So days racing instead of the As
days requested by Mr.. Widener.
The dates were announced

Park course.
Widener, chairman of the
board of the Miami Racing Asso-
citation, upon hearing of the dates
granted to his plant made the
following statement over long
distance telephone from Phila,
delphia:
81 have just received the
news. Naturally, / am diSap-
pointed that my efforts for
Miami and Dade county have
not won better reward. I am
willing, however, to leave it to
the fairminded people of Miami
and Dade county to judge if
have been fairly treated"
Frank Bruen, manager of the
Tropical. Park track, who was in
the McAllisted lobby when the
dates were announced, expressed
his satisfaction of the action
taken by the commission. Says
Bruen:
81 think the men were fair to
all concerned. We will have to
split our meeting, while Mr..
Widener will have all his dates
in a continuous run. However,
we will have an opportunity to
bring racing patrons to Miami
earlier than ever before"

For instance, it reveals what
plugs this team or that one is
trying to fill for a commendable
showing in 1882. And most i'm
portant it gives the records of
the various players for the sea-
son of 1881 and Others of the
past, offering all the while a
pretty good idea on how the
teams will shape up
Foremost in interest of course
in this data is the record Of
the collection of rookie talent,
purchased, selected or recalled,
by the Washington Ball Club
since the 1881 season.
Here, is included the names
of Monte Weaver, Ralph Boyle
and Johnny Gill, the Baltimore
players purchased last summer;
Frank Ragland. Bob Friederichs,
and Cecil Travis, bought from
Chattanooga; Walter Masters. re-
called from Youngstown; Lynn
Griffith, recalled from Chatta-
Irooga, and the collection of les
ser lights including Harley Boss,
Chattanooga; Alvin Powell, Bing-
hampton; Tom Clark. Youngs-
town, and Dave Banks, also of
Youngstown
Certain Few Stand Out
Of this crop. Weaver, Boyle,
Gill, Ragland, Masters and Grit
filth loom as the most potent
players and those holding the
greatest chance of making good.
This can be cleaned from their
records although figures do not
mean a thing at times.
Boyle and Gill, as known are
the two outfielderS supposed to
be full of punch at bat and
ready and rarin' to go as big
leaguerS. Weaver is the Oriole
pitcher, who won 81 games while
losing II in the international
League last season.
Gill socked to the tune of BAT,
in 1881 collecting 211 hits, scor-
ing 112 runs and driving in 125
runs in 1856 games. Boyle'S rec
ord tells of q batting average
of. $40. embracing 1873 hits, 116
runs in 157 games.
Ragland. the Chattanooga
pitcher, won 10 games while
losing 8 in 1881. while Masters
enjoyed great success as a hurler
at Youngstown after being sent
there last July. Griffith won Z
games and lost 8, at Chatta-
nooga for his work during 1881.
YankS Hold Edge
Going briefly down the list of
the remaining teams in the
league, the Yankees look to have
strengthened themselves most by
the collection of a formidable
rookie crop. They have added

Today he cites as a great les
son in the art of taking ones
medicine" the case of the Cath
Ole University football team, its
aches and its partisans.
The Cardinals were opposed to
a team in a very important grid
game.
"Officials of the contest leaned
over backward to be fair to the
home team" said one Cardinal
partisan, an adept in football
rules.
Shift Ruled Illegal
Throughout the entire first half
Of the contest the officials ruled
c. us shift Illegal. In the second
half, the Cardinals were forced
to abandon their shift entirely,
thus placing then. at decided
disadvantage. They just got to-
gether and developed plays on
the spot. They won the game.
They scored two touchdowns.
Their coach appealed to the
officials. He said:
Gentlemen, for IL years now
I have taught football teams
the very shift you have ruled
against. My teams have played
some 100 games, all teams en-
plOying in all games the same
shift you have ruled against.
NOtre Dame, Georgia, Florida,
Navy, Georgetown, North Caro-
lima, and more than a hundred
other football elevens of this ma
ton employ that shift. Is 1t not
q bit unusual that G. u. should
be penaIiZed on every play be-
cause 1t utilities this shift which
is accepted as legal all over the
United StateS?"
This appeal was made to Of
ficiGlS between the halves.
However. the second half was
q practical duplicate Of the first.
The officials just could not see
how c. us shift, which they had
declared illegal in the first half,
could be legal in the second. AS
q result. the Cardinals got their
heads together, after a pre-ar-
ranged plan conceived by their
coach between the halves to meet
such an exigency. and instead Of
compli lining made the most Of an
exaSperating situation.
No BOOing
Il Cardinal partisans sat silent as
they saw their team set back
yards, and yarus, and yards.
There was no booing.
