Eludes Lions Contract

NEW YORK, Jan. 10--R-Fire-
ball frankie SinAwich, most valu-
able player in the National Foot
ball league while with Detroit in
1914, jumped to the New York
Yankees Of the All-America con-
ference today in surprise move
that threatened to send the player
fight between the rival profession
al circuits into court.
At a news conference attended
by Sirkwich, the Yankees announc-
ed they had signed the two-time
all-America halfback from the Uni
versity of Georgia to a three-year
contract. President Dan Topping
disclosed that Sinkwich's salary
ran into ''five figures" but reli-
able estimates placed it at around
$12, 900 a year.
AS soon as the news reached Of
tcials Of the Detroit Lions, they
declared the National League team
was prepared to 60 to court" to
enforce It's contract with Sinkwich,
which they commended had one
more year to run.
The Lions are interested in hold
ing him only if he has recovered
from knee injury that curtailed
his career in service football.
Detroit Coach Gus Dorais, here
for the annual meeting Of the
National League, said he had talk
ed with Sinkwich several times
since the latter's discharge from
the Army and assumed that Frank
lie would play with the Lions if
his knee healed.
Sinkwich's contract with Detroit
ran through 1915. The Lions con-
tend that since he was in service
in 1915 he must play one more
year at Detroit to fulfill his con-
tract. The Yankees feel that he
has fulfilled his obligations to De-
troit.
Sinkwich had announced his ire
tirement'' from the gridiron Dec.
10 after his discharge from the
Army but acknowledged today he
only said that ito keep other
teams from bothering me- as he
already had signed with Coach Ray
Flaherty of the Yankees at Chi
cago Dec. 9.
Signing of Sirkwich was another
step in the headline duel of the
rival clubs in New York. Earlier
in the week the Giants purchased
Quarterback Frank Filchock from
Washington.

CHANCES FOR CLUB.
7 O. BE DISCUSSED.
AT PUBLIC MEETING.
Fans Urged o Attend Con
ference AT Courthouse,
Tuesday Night
BY EDWARD SACHS

That great story of unrequitee
love - the romance between the
dashing young swain, Will Ming
ton and the tinid virgin, Organic
ed Baseball - embodied another
chapter yesterday with the couple
inching another step toward thu
preacher.
All the old standbys were in the
supporting cast, ]. E. L. Wade, the
Piedmont league, Clark Griffith
and c. M. Llewellyn, director o.
the Tri-State league with a new.
conner to the baseball scene, the
Wilmington Chamber of Com
merce, announcing that it was
willing to act as best man at the
merger.
In short here is the situation:
1.Llewellyn hobs up at the Old
Fox's den in Washington in an
attempt to gain Clark Griffith's lat
est approval of this city's en-
trance into baseball. 4r
2. J.. E. L. Wade states that he
has been, informed by Llewellyn
that what ever decisions are reach
ed in Washington will be relayed
to the public at a meeting called
by the Chamber of Commerce
Tuesday evening at the courthouse.
8. Llewellyn informed Wade that
Griffith is Of the opinion that base
ball leagues will have to expand
or have additions to take care Of
the returning service ball players.
4. John H. Farrell, secretary OF
the Chamber of Commerce in an
nouncing plans for the meeting
informs the press that all base
ball fans of this vicinity are in
vited to the meeting adding:
81 don't know all the facts con-
corning the baseball picture here.
I personally am very much In
terested in baseball. We are anx-
ious to have as many people at
the public meeting as possible in
order to get expressions from
them" IL
Fans attending the public meet
ing will be briefed on all past
baseball moves, Farrell said,
along with future prospects tor
gaining entrance into a league. Al
the present time, he said, there
are three possibilities:
l. Piedmont league, in case
directors reverse their previous
stand and vote to increase the
league to an eight-club circuit. In
that case, Charlotte likely would
be the seventh team and Whining.
ton a possibility as the other
entry.
2. Tri State league, which
| operates in points as far sepa.
rated as Asheville, N. c., and
Anderson, S. c. Travel distances
have cooled local enthusiasm
toward this loop.
3. Formation of a new, Class
B league. -
Clark Criffitlfs unrelenting eff
forts to place Charlotte back into
the Piedmont are known not to
have stopped because of the set
back in Columbus. Charlotte re-
tains the Piedmont franchise al
though she no longer has club
in active competition.
In addition, Griffith has shown
himself to be favorably inclined
toward Wilmington's bid for a
berth in the Piedmont.

HOT STOVE LEAGUE .s~:
Editor Tells Of Meeting
Of John L. And Corbett

was fellow who side-stepped like
an adagio dancer, who pranced all
over the ring, slipping in a blow
now and then and lodging out Of
John LIS reach before he could
measure a counterthrust. There
was no great power in Corbett's
blows, but they were well aimed,
and feet and eyes and fists were
perfectly synchronized, and SO the
tenth round passed and he was still
on his toes. We began to think per.
haps our guessing was bad after all
and we'd better wait awhile before
we made any more prophesies.
And then, when our special mes
senger came from the depot, SLOW
ly now as if peddl1ng to dirge, and
broke the news that Sullivan was
out, we just stood around and SAID
nothing. It was too astounding TO
take in at once. It was like a mos
quito killing a hippo. It just couldn't
happen. But it had. And, having
lost a god, we were sad, as only
kids can be.
Later I saw cofbett in the ring,
and Fitzimmons and Jefferies and
most of the great fighters while
the great ones 1asted) but it is a
TACT that no fight 7 ever saw is
nearly as plain tonne now as this
one didn't see at all.

The Junior Chamber of Com
merce in Miami some eight years
ago were fighting a sore spot but
to no avail. There is section of
Miami Beach just above the
beautiful hotels where huge priv
ate residences are right smack on
the ocean. The entire seaview is
blotted out for the visitors driv-
ing along Indian Greek road
there. This could well be the case
if ownership on Roosevelt Boule-
ward ever becomes a question.
Developments would be pushed
up to the waters edge and the
Boulevard be closed off entirely
1t is a point to watch carefully
This is the tract which is under
contemplation right now for
sale. 1t is a wonderful develop
ment although there must be
some filling in of the swampy
area just behind the Boulevard.
Just for the Jun of it let's make
a prediction. Here's hoping three
large hotels just like the Casa
Marina are erected along this
stretch and that small beautiful
homes spring up around each re-
sort hotel just as has happened
in the Martello Towers section
and the streets to- the westward
of the Casa. Because we do not
believe that the entire stretch
will be lined with hotels.

clearly and calmly he presented
a suggestion, constructive to the
last degree, regarding fishing,
carefully thought out and wonder
of wonders sensible and work
able. That was about fish con-
servation. Key WesterS have to
be educated continually to the

tors even more so must be edu-
