C|ub-to-C|ub Series

Plan to Gauge Strength

Griffith Contends
BY JUDSON BAILEY.


By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26-Startled
out of sound off-season slumber
by the alarm of Brooklyn's early
rising. Leland Stanford MacPhail,
who wants to supplement the World
Series with games between the other
clubs, most of the major league mag
mates are cautious.
Some of them have have been
burned before by their own criti-
cism of the red-heads red hot
schemes-such as night baseball
and are willing to give his latest
brainchild hearing.
This is what MacPhail said he
intended to have anyway at the
annual meetings at Cincinnati in
December, when he will propose
that the first-place clubs play each
other, as now, and the second. third,
fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and
eighth place teams also meet.
Griffith Against Plan.
"1nter-league competition should
not be confined to two clubs. A
series of inter-league games in
which all clubs participate would
falrly determine the question of su-
premacy each season." argued Mac
Phail.
The first reaction of a lot of
persons probably was voiced most
succinctly by Clark Griffith. presi-
dent of the Washington club, who
snapped:
Just say for me that MacPhail
IS nuts. Somebody proposed this
long time ago and it was lust
as silly then as it is now"
But for the most part calner
spirits prevailed.
Not Held Practical.
william E. BensWanger, president
OF the Pittsburgh Pirates, declared
Theoretically I'm inclined to favor
MacPhails idea, because of NV be-
lief that the National League is
every bit as strong as the American
with the exception of the Yankees
However, I don't feel the plan is
practlcal. One objection is that
such plan would tend to take awav
interest IN the big SERIES"
Old Connie Mack, who has seen
a lot OF novelties come and 70, dis
sented loudly. Other owners took
no definite stand.
Both William Harridge and Ford
Frlck, presidents of the American
and National Leagues, respectively,
said they would let the club owners
do the considering.
