school court Wednesday night at 8

baseball and tennis teams holding
decisions over the Soldiers with the
latter taking the upper hand in foot
ball over the Second team in 1888.
The Wildcats dropped their first
conference game last Friday night
to Wilson and have been working
out this week to plug up the gaps
in their defense. The Junior var

DETROIT WITHOUT
ANY FUTURE PLANS
Zeller Assumes Responsibility
For Clubs Minor
League Actions

DETROIT, Jan. Is. - Up Still
shaken by the decision of Baseball
Commissioner Kenesaw M. Lands
declaring 81 chattels free agents, the
management of the Detroit Tigers
faced the future tonight with only
Is athletes on the payroll and with
out immediate plans for reestablish.
ing connections with the minci
leagues.
In addition to setting free the 81
players, who have an estimated value
of $500, 900, Lands yesterday also
ordered the club to pay a total o.
S47,250 to a group of former Tigers
The number of players turned loose
was cut by one today when Lands
ruled that Paul Dizzy Trout, right
handed pitcher who won nine games
and lost ten for Detroit last year.
should not have been included on
the list of free agents.
Detroit's 70 players are distribute
ed as follows: IS with the parent
club; 80 with beaumont, of the Tex.
as league, and 10 with Henderson,
of the East Texas league. Beau
mont and Henderson are the only
minor league clubs the Tigers own
outright, the Detroit Baseball Co.
having followed a policy OF estab-
fishing working agreements with
the minors for many years.
Full responsibility for the hand
ling Of players involved in Lands
action was accepted today by Cen
eral Manager John A. Jack) Zeller.
In a formal statement, the Tiger
general manager said:
"The decision handed down by
Commissioner Lands is in no way
aimed at President Walter o. Briggs,
owner of the Detroit baseball club.
The handling of all minor league at
.filiations was my job and he did not
attempt to familiarize himself in any
manner with these operations until
after Commissioner Lands started
his investigations"
Zeller said the methods he used
were no different than those EN-.
ployed by Detroit in the past Is
years briggs assumed control of the
club upon the death of Frank J.
Navin in the fall Of 1885.
Pointing to his own record, Zeller
said:
II have had no less than 1000 play.
ers go through my hands at Beau.
mont and not one has ever COM
planned to Lands or anyone else of
the treatment they received from me.
1t is a witch hunt
Zeller said that Dc'~'A would de-
lay mapping future plans until Lam
dis issues a statement containing
his attitude on relations between
major and minor league teams. The
statement is expected to be made
public in Chicago tomorrow. Zeller
said.

Y CACERS Whip
BRIGADE, 1892
Triangle Team Climbs Out IN
Top After Close Battle
On Y Court

The Y.M.C.A. and Brigade bas-
ketball teams battled through forty
exciting minutes of basketball on
the "Y" court last night, the Y
emerging the victors by a score or
80 to 80.
1t was a ding-dong battle all the
way with each team leading about
half the time.
The "Y' went ahead early in the
first quarter, ringing up six points
before the Brigade was able to
tally. The period ended at 6 to 4
as the Brigade staged their bid for
the lead. Continuing in the second
period they tied the count at 6-all
and then snatched the lead for the
first time. The "Y" staged a come
back late in the second period n
led by 21-19 as the half ended.
Play became unusually fast III
the third quarter, both teams ring
ing the gong on difficult tries while
missing some "crips'' Of the first
order. Sandlin and Keen kept the
Brigade in the game with a series
of looping shots, although the Y"
boys seemed to work the ball in
for close shots with a little more
success.
Gieschen led the scoring for both
teams with IL points. Keen with 3
and Sandlin with 8 psced the Bri-
gade attack. Allen and Bowen
worked a neat floor game for the
"Y."

Real "CZar"
The Judge in the battered felt hat
took over the reins of baseball 70
years ago., Immediately following the
famous BLACK Sox' scandal in the
1919 World Series. And in the years
that have followed he has establish
ed himself as much, if not more, a
sczar" of baseball than Will H. Hays
as head of the movie industry.
For one thing Judge Lands has
been the most careful man to see that
the sport of baseball is not touched
with the breath of scandal anymore,
and despite what critics say about
him or how much you may disagree
with his tactics, you have to admire
his u%nequivocal stand.
Lands is opposed and right heart
lily, to the chain-store baseball chain
system, but his motto has been as
long as you keep your house in or
der and abide by the rules, I'll let
you alone. And good evidence of this
is the way the New York Yankees
have maintained one of the largest
farm systems ever known without
much trouble.
Detroit saw it's hopes of building
its team into a championship organi-
cation fade like the dew IN Lands
favorite golf course. They have esti-
mated their loss in baseball talent
at $500, 900. But the upshot of the
whole affair is to bring the matter of
player contracts out into the open.
And in baseball, government or
business as long as transactions are
kept so that Mr.. and Mrs. John @.
Public can see them, the better it will
be for everyone concerned.
Perennial Champ
Talk about perennial champions,
you can't beat the way the Durham
high school basketball team stays up
at the top year in and year out. The
Bulls haven't lost a game in so starts
and look good to keep on moving

Not even the most hopeful OF sup
porters Of other teams in the league
will say that Durham is not due to
win the Eastern Class A high school
conference basketball championship
again this year. Against all opposi-
ton this year they have piled up top
heavy scores.
In view of Durham's record The
New Hanover high school cagers
should ask for a handicap when they
meet the latter part Of this month.
