Hot Stove League

The last time I saw Steve, the
sporting figure who is the subject
OF this true yarn, he was propped
against the counter of country
store, drunk. In one hand he held
a gallon of moonshine whiskey, and
in the other he held a telephone.
Jake Wade? This Jake Wade,

Steve then took a long. gurgling
dram from his jug.
He spoke into the telephone
again. Jake? This is Blank col

ever saw it. Yeh. yeh, his Sec

For the record, let it be said
that Steve was the worst pitcher
in the history of baseball. For
him survival past the first in

he was on the mound, the ninth

OHIO CLUBS MOVE
BELIEVED POINTED
AT AA CONFERENCE
Transfer Give 5 National
League Coast-To-Coast.
Operations
By SID FEEDER

NEW YORK, Jan. H. B The
Championship Cleveland Rams Of
the National Professional Football
league today requested and were
granted permission to move their
franchise to Los Angeles, effective
Immediately.
The request was made at the
annual National football league
meeting by Dan Reeves, president
Of the Rams who whipped the
Washington Redskins 1914 in the
championship playoff at Cleveland
last month.
1.-THE reason I'm moving to Los
Angeles" Reeves explained, sis
that believe it will become the
greatest professional football town
in the country
Action on Reeves request came
after the National League Moguls
had listened to a proposal for for
nation of National association
of professional football leagues"
which would organize for opera
tional purposes all pro circuits in
the country except the new ALL
America conference.
The proposal was laid before the
National League magnates by j.
Rufe K1awans, president Of the
Pacific Coast league, who repre-
scented the Dixie League and
American Association as well as his
own loop.
His plan included four major
points. They were:
1-Recognition by the National
League of the other loops territor.
ial rights.
2-Recognition by all the circuits
Of each others player contracts.
31That the National League
would play no games in the terri
tory Of any of the other loops, I'M
less the local loop was a parti-
cipant or consented to such a game.
4Setting up OF arrangements
for optiniong players back and
forth between the leagues.
His plan was generally looked on
with favor by the National leaguers
except that they wanted to with
hold territorial rights from one city
in the Pacific Coast league. Al
though the name OF this city was
not announced, it apparently was
Los Angeles, since Reeves request
for transfer Of the Cleveland fran
chise had been made earlier.
Should the proposed National
association be formed, 1t would
provide cross country organiza-
ton in opposition to the All-Amer-
lea conference, against which the
National league already had rolled
up its sleeves and prepared to
fight. After Klawans completed his
talk to the National leaguers, the
magnates told him to return tomor-
row at II am. for final decision.
Transfer of the Cleveland fran
chise to Los Angeles would leave
rival teams Of both the National
League and A1l-America confer
ences in three cities. Each already
has clubs in New York and Chicago,
and until today's action also were
prepared to buck each other in
! Cleveland.

His next joust was with the voting
