SECOND NT.LEAGUE
CLUB PUT ON BLOCK
Jersey Sale in Committees
Hands, Attention Turns to
Reading-Albany

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, January 11.-With
M the tangled financial affairs of
Y one of its clubs intrusted to the
hands Of special committee,
the International Base Ball League to-
day turned its attention to q similar
situation in another quarter.
After long discussion yesterday, the
league directors empowered q commit
tee composed of President Charles H
Knapp Of Baltimore, Warren Giles of
Rochester and George Weiss of Newark
to negotiate the sale of the Jersey City
franchise to an unidentified RESPONSE
BILE buyer" Today they were expected
to take up the affairs of the Reading
Albany club, which has been placed
on the block by the owners Of the
franchise, the Chicago Cubs.
UIILLIAM L. VEECK, Cub president,
w said yesterday that he had two or
three prospective customers and
1t appeared that there would be COM
paratively little difficulty in disposing
of the franchise, which was turned back
to the Cubs a week ago by Clarence
Rowland who had an option on it for
two years.
Bill McCorry, former manager of the
Albany Eastern League club, was re-
ported to be one Of the prospects.
Montreal and Toronto are getting
their financial affairs under control
without outside aid. President Knapp
said.
The committee which was placed In
charge of the Jersey City sale would not
reveal what buyer was under consid-
Grafton, but Knapp said that it was
not the Brooklyn National League club,
which operated the Skeeters under
option last season.
TNAPP also revealed that three
N parties were interested in the sale,
the Brooklyn club; Sam Cola
curcio, present owner and chief stock
holder, and Frank Donnelly, former
owner, who claims lien on 500 shares.
Colacurcio had said previously that
he had rejected an offer from Brook
lyn of SIS 1000 cash in addition to the
assumption of the Skeeters' debts, which
amount to about $4,000, asking s40,-
600 in cash. He also mentioned an
offer from Sam Cambria, Baltimore
business man, and Fritz Maisel, Balti-
more manager.

MARK
DIAMOND PAY CUTS
Big Leaguers Outstanding
in 1882 to Get Salary
Raises, as Usual.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
n YEW YORK, January 11.-Major
N league magnates definitely are
committed to a program OF
economy, but deserving ball
players will be rewarded in the usual
fashion just the same.
With the possible exception of the
st. Louis Cardinals, clubs in both the
American and National Leagues al
ready have, or will, boost the salaries
OF star performers of the 1882 cam
paign. These increases, however, prob
ably will be more than offset by slashes
in the stipends of other players whose
work last season was not outstanding
GAM BREADON, president of the Car
- dinals, already has announced his
pay roll will be "slashed, not
trimmed" but even he has given no in
dication that every player on the roster
viii be required to take a cut, irrespec-
tive OF 1882 performance.
The Pittsburgh Pirates, who shocked
not few base ball sharps by finishing
second in the National League race, al
reaoy nave granted increases to Lloyd
Waner and Larry French, restored Paul
Waner's salary to its 1881 level and
boosted the figures on the checks they'll
issue to such youngsters as Earl Grace,
Tony. Piet. Bill Swift and Floyd
Vaughan.
Washington, likewise, has been gen.
erous in dealing with Monte Weaver,
and 1t was understood the Senators
would boost the salaries of both Al
Crowder and Goose Goslin, the latter
obtained from the st. Louis Browns
during the off-season.
ToL. JACOB RUPERT probably will
~ ask Babe Ruth to accept a cut Of
$1,000 or $4,000, and some of the
other members of the New York
Yankees squad may be slightly hit in
the region Of their pocketbooks.
All the other clubs likewise are plan
ming on general scaling down Of the
player pay rolls, but, at the same time,
providing fatter checks for such de-
serving performers as Johnny Allen of
the Yankees, Lon Warneke of the Cubs.
Dale Alexander of the Red Sox and
many another.
The Philadelphia Athletics cut
sharply into overhead" when they sold
Al Simmons, Mule Haas and Jimmy
Dikes to the Chicago White Sox.

" being asked today among fol-
lowers Of the public high
school basket ball championship series.
The old rivals square of Friday
afternoon IN the first game of double
header on the Tech court at $3.50
o'clock. Eastern and Western face in
the nightcap.
Tech, making its series debut, had
little trouble yesterday downing the
weak Western quint, IS to "a. In the
other game. Eastern conquered Roose-
velt, IS to 80, after a real struggle.
AS the result Central and Tech alone
have a clear record, each having won
its only start. Eastern and Roosevelt
have one victory and one defeat apiece
and Western has lost both its games.
The Eastern Roosevelt game was ex-
pected to be the hard-fought fray it
proved while Tech was figured to en-
counter little opposition In Western.
From the opening whistle the East
ern-Roosevelt scrap was close. The
first quarter ended TT and the Rough
Riders were ahead, 1918, at the half.
Harry Bassin celebrated his entry into
the game at the start of the second
half with pair of floor goals that
put the Lincoln Parkers in the van
where they stayed.
In the dying moments the Bears
rallied stoutly, threatening to tie the
score, but again Bassin came through
with vital points as he Gagged his third
floor goal Soon thereafter play ended.
AL Waters and Jack Bayliss were the
leaders on offense for Eastern, along
with Bassin. Billy Harris and Joe
Sherman we're high scorers for the
Rough Riders.

| In addition to his tennis skill, it was
Vines amazing competitive tenpera-

Wimbledon and later to the conquest

He has the faculty Of lifting himself

At Forest Hills last Fall Cliff Sutter
| pf New Orleans had him surrounded
and practically bagged. The South
erner was leading two sets to none and
was within one point Of the third set
more than once.
Vines was facing sure and inescap-
able defeat. His play had been un-
certain and ragged. He had been un-
able to get going in the high wind.
Just one more mistake-and he was
out of the picture.
Yet there was never a moment that
he looked worried or bothered, that he
gave any sign Of wavering.
He took his most desperate chances
in emergencies-and pulled them off.
He made almost impossible returns

And then slowly and steadily he be-

Vines and 1888.
A NY 21-year-old tennis player able
IA to repeat at Forest Hills-to win
at Wimbledon-to beat Cochet
twice-should be good enough to handle
the year ahead
Vines Is always likely to be beaten
in certain tournaments. He leaves al
most no margin for error. He keeps the
ball skimming the top of the net or
right at the lines. On q slightly off
day-for Vines-he may look to be
far of
He also saves his finest concentra-
ton for the big days. Few champions
have been beaten as often In minor
matches and few champions have Drop
ped the first two sets as often In big
matches.
But here he Is at 21 rated as the fin
est tennis player in the world. even
above the brilliant Cochet Of France.
Vines has now had a solid year Of
competitive tennis-from California to
Pinehurst-from New York to wimble-
don and Paris-from Forest Hills to
Australia.
No other champion, amateur or pro,
has known SO much competitive play.
So he faces 1888 with his finest pros
pects-with big chance to win again
at Wimbledon-to lead q successful at
tack on the Davis Cup-to make It
three In q row at Forest Hills.
This Is a big order and 1t may be
shot full Of holes before January blows
around again.
But as one Of the few surviving
champions from 1881, Vines should also
be one of the few survivors from 1882.
He should be wearing at least one
crown when another season ends, and
