Sp»"-fal Dispatch to Th* Call
SACRAMENTO. Dec. 9 —lnstead of
getting together this afternoon or this
evening and talking o\'er important af
fair? of the Pacific Coast league, the
magnates from the six cities devoted
their time to discussing the Ewing-
Walter scandal. They could not find
time for anything else, and the chances
are that they will not make known
any of their future plans until late to
morrow night.
Ewing wins in a walk over Walter
so far as the moguls figure, and he
also has cornered the sympathies of
the fans of this section of the country.
They all regret that the ugly incident
must be placed in the annals of the
leagues history, but they hope that
it will soon blow over, and the mag
nates declare they will bury it without
:oremony.
'TRIED TO HOLP ME UP"
I do not want to make any unjust
s against Walter." declared
Kwlng this evening, "so I will open up
by saying that I actually believe that
the mans mind is unbalanced. He
rertainly betrayed his trust to me and
he will have to get out of baseball. I
am not going to force him out, but I
think that the directors of the Oak
and club surely will.
"Walter tried to hold me up and I
would not stand for it. That is the
Btory in a nutshell. Hβ believed that
he had me where I could* not get out.
I have been fighting all my life in base
ball and politics, and I made up my
mind that I would not .quit at this day
of my age. I came right back to
Walter and then he made his unjust
:harges.
"I heard that certain people were
coing to oppose our moving the plant
so close to St. Luke's hospital, so I im
mediately laid my plans for the re
newal of the least on the Valencia
street Jot. I took Walter into my con
fidence and he immediately double
-1 me by going to the Judson es
tate officials arid apparently closing
with them over my head. I discovered
this when I tried to do business my
self.
\\ ALTKRS PROPOSITION
"Walter came to me with a proposi
tion to turn the controlling interest of
the Oakland stock over to him. I be
lieve that he has about 750 shares. He
demanded that I see that he got 10.000
additional shares and also that I pay
him a cash bonus of before he
would consent to talk to me regard
;lie lease on the old ball park.
"I am only a minority holder
In the Oakland club. T disposed of
most of my Interests to Frank
Home time ago. T never intf>rfr>red with
the affairs of tho Oakland team. I
lave been too busy trying to bring the
pennant home to San Francisco. Wat
ter knows all this. too. He was presc
ient of the* club and ought to know
what was doing there. If things were
not running to suit him he had the
nower to make in investigation and
immediately order a change in the
management."

which concerns individuals only. But

about last Friday evening when the
pair held their final meeting. F,wing
says he told Walter that lie must re

his sensational statement, which caused
the big row.

Furthermore, Ewing accuses Walter
of playing the part of the serpent. Ac

bouquets at myself, but I went ahead
and saved the whole Coast league after
the fire. I risked my money and took
a chance. Few of the others would. I
built up the league until it proved a

dead loss for years, but it finally got
going. I still held the stock and as
soon as it became valuable the crabs'
started after me and accused me of
playing a syndicate game.
FIGHTING FOR SAN FRANCISCO
"Now, if they want me out of the
Oakland club, let them come on with
their offers and I will listen to any rea

team is the team that concerns me. I

trying to give San Francisco a winner.

The magnates got together late this
evening and talked the schedule over.!
It surely will be adopted today. In the
meantime they are discussing rules and
trades and the like, and some important
deals probably will be pulled before an
other sunset. Berry says that he has a
couple of fights on his- hands, but he
won't tell anybody about them until
he is ready to take the floor and an

MOGULS BANQUETED
Charles F. Moll, business manager of

Quincy club of the Central league and
is looking for bright youngsters.
The officers of the Sacramento club

Walter Reiterates His
Syndicating Charges
Against J. Cal Ewing
OAKLAND, Dec 9.— R. N. Walter,
former president of the Oakland Base
ball association, today reiterated his
charges against Cal Ewing, declaring
again that Ewing was working for
"syndicate baseball' in the Coast
league. Walter also reiterated his pre
vious statements that his resignation
was brought about solely because he
did not wish to be Involved in a sys
tem of this kind.
Walter vehemently denied that his
resignation had been brought about
because he secured an option on the
Recreation park grounds in San Fran
cisco. a« charge by Ewing in his pub
lished statement this morning.
STATEMENT , '
"Ewing's statement that I secured
this option and then offered it to him
for an exorbitant sum is too foolish
to deserve consideration," said Wal
ter. "There is absolutely no truth in
the assertion. I resigned my position
as head of the association because
Ewing, Ish and otbers were attempting
to perfect a system of 'syndicated
baseball , in the Coast league by get
ting control of various clubs in the
league.
"Ewing says that when he bought the
controlling interest in the San Fran
cisco club he made me his confidential
representative and that he retired frem j
active management in the Oakland i
club.
"This is only half true. He did dele
gate to me the reins of management,
but it is foolish to say that Ewing had
no active part in the control of the local
association. There was never an im
portant deal In connection with the af
fairs of the business when Cal Ewing
did not advise and even dictate the
policy. »
"SYNDM ATED BASEBALL"
"At the sanio time he was openly
controlling the San Francisco team, and
If this is not "syndicated baseball" what
Is it? By the term I mean simply the
management by the same man of two
or more teams in the same league. This
was plainly such a case and It Is the
wrong principle in sport. I simply re
fused to lend my name and influence to
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1912.
such an arrangement. That is all there
is to my resignation.
"Regarding the deal in San Francisco
about which Ewing has made so much
fuss, I will say this: That was merely
a business matter with me and not a
holdup, as has been stated by innuendo.
Ewing said some time ago that he in
tended looking about for another and
better location than the present one at
Recreation park. I did nothing for sev
eral months until it became evident to
me that Ewing had no intention of
securing the new location.
OFFER MADE TOO LATE
"It also appeared as though he were
not going to make an effort to renew
the lease at the old grounds, whereupon
I stepped in and took the lease for 20
years in my own name. Shortly after
ward Ewing made efforts to get this
lease, but he was too late, as I had
closed the deal.
"I then went to Ewing and offered to
sell him the lease. He refuged to take it
at my figures, and the matter had noth
ing to do with my resignation. Ido not
particularly care whether they take the
lease or not. It is still open to them,
however."
A meeting of the directors of the
Oakland association has been called, to
be held In this city Friday night, at
which time a successor to Walter will
be named. The gossip among those who
pretend to know something of the inner
workings is that John P. Cook, now a
director in the club, is the man who will
be named president.
LEWITT MENTIONED
Tt is said that there is but one man
besides Cook to he considered, and that
is Frank W. Lea-vitt. Leavitt is a heavy
owner in the association, and rumor ha%
it that the stock which was held in
trust by Walter has already been trans
ferred to Leavitt, to be held by him in
the same manner that it was held by
Walter. Walter says there is no truth
in the rumors that Ewing has sold out
his interest In the local club.
"The stock undoubtedly has been
transferred to Leavitt for the sake of
appearances," said he, "but. Leavitt cer
tainly does not; hold the controlling in
terest. That is still retained by Ew
ing."
The position which Leavitt holds
naturally makes him a strong con
tender for the office of president, but
there are many who assert positively
that Cook will be the man.
COOK STUDYING 1 l»
Tt is known that Cook has for some
time been taking a deep interest in th«
local team, studying the ins and outs of
baseball and preparing himself for such
contingency. He is known as a man of
ability as an organizer and is looked
upon as the logical head of the asso
ciation. It is claimed that Cook has
practically placed himself in the posi
tion where he can dominate affairs,
even though he is not given the title of
president. It Is thought by some that
because of Cook's political activities he
would rather manage the association
from a minor position than to bask in
the limelight.

ALL STAR DEFEAT
STIRS UP FANDOM
Berkeley V Men Second in
History to Down Noted
Stockton Team
Historic Basket Ball Five
Has a Record to Be
Proud Of
WILLIAM UNM ACK
Have the famous Stockton All Star
basket ball men struck the end of their
tether? Their defeat by the Berkeley
Y. M. C. A. team Saturday is the talk
of the basket ball world, and -well it
might be. For 12 years the team never
has been defeated on its own court by
a California team until Saturday.
During their career the All Stars
have been defeated only twice by teams
of this state, once in 1907, when the
University of California won the state
championship from them at the big
tournament promoted by the P. A. A. at
the Auditorium, and again when the
Berkeley team trimmed them Saturday.
There is not another team on this
coast or, for that matter, in this coun
try, that can show such a record.
It is rather a coincidence that the
man who organized the Stockton team
12 years ago, TV. L.. Seawright, .who
also was its coach and adviser for sev
eral years, was the man responsible
for the downfall of his old pet last
Saturday. Seawright Iβ now the physi
cal director of the Berkeley Y. M. C. A.,
and his work as basket ball coach has
brought the Berkeley V team to the
highest standard of perfection.
The Stockton team always has been
noted as a team of giants, the men all
being over six feet. Their height has
been advantageous to their accuracy at
shooting baskets. It is their accuracy
from almost any angle when they got
within shooting distance of the bas
kets that has been the of their
great success.
On Saturday the Berkeley lade fath
omed the attack of the Stockton team
and the Berkeley guards kept with
their opposition every second of the
play. The peculiar feature of the
whole game was the fact that the
Berkeley guards virtually won it. The
guards and center scored practically
all the points, and the regulation scor
ing: line, the forwards, could tally but
three goals between them.
The Stockton All Star team was or
ganized in 1900 by Seawright at the
Stockton Y. M. <\ A. From its incep
tion it proved a natural basket ball
set, and it has won every state cham
pionship of the unlimited class from
that time up to last year with the sin
gle exception of the 1907 title, which
the University of California took from
them.
Of the original team two men are
still actively playing on the quintet.
Conklln and Inglis have played stead
ily all these and undoubtedly are
two of the best men in their positions
today. The other three men are
younger, and it will take considerable
practice and games for the quintet to
assume that old time combination that
was so noticeable up to a year or so
ago.
The team has met and defeated most
of the famous eastern basket ball
teams that have toured this coast, but
were defeated by the champion Com
pany F team of Portage, Wia., two
years ago, and by the Red Wings of
Minnesota in 1904. The Company F
team was the American A. A. C. cham
pion team at the time it played, the
Stocktonians, and at that Stockton
pressed them to their greatest efforts
to win.
The defeat of Saturday was fore
casted last week by Orno Tyler, the
well ktiown local authority.
The Stocktonians are out for re
venge and will play the Berkeley team
a return game at Berkeley on January
13. Every basket ball fan of the
state will have his eyes riveted on that
iontest.

LONDON, Dec. 9.—Rugby football players at the univer
sities of Oxford and Cambridge were asked today to form a
combined team t<3 undertake a tour of the Pacific coast. The
invitations were sent out by the secretary of the Oxford Uni

RACING SYNDICATE HAS
NAMED ITS COMMITTEE
Men Who Will Supervise
Cup Defender's Birth
Are Experts
The racing syndicate that is to build
the 23 meter boat which will meet Sir
Thomas L.lpton's challenging yacht
here during 1915 has appointed its
building and racing committee.
The committee consists of Austin
Sperry, who has had great experience
in connection with the shipbuilding
plant of the Union Iron works and
whose present business lies in the In
stallation of power plants in steamers;
W. 8. Leland, consulting engineer, who
at one time was a proressor of mathe
matics in the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology at Boston, and Who has
given a large amount of thought and
consideration to yacht racing condi
tions; Harry D. Hawks, former commo
dore of the Corinthian Yacht club; W.
G. Morrow, former commodore of the
San Francisco Yacht club; W. F. Stone,
who probably will build and sail the
cup racer, and Thomas L. Miller.
The committee appointed can not be
interfered with by the individual mem
bers of the syndicate. Their work is
largely technical in character and calls
for not only technical knowledge, but
practical experience.

Roger Bresnahan against the St. Liouis
Nationals for alleged breach of con
tract probably will be settled by an ar
bitration committee in St. Louis. Thie
was the tentative derision of the board
of directors of the National league to
day. Bresnahan and his attorneys ap
peared before the board and presented
the claim. After listening to the argu
ments for and against B/esnahan'e
claim for four years' salary, the board
suggested some sort of peaceful set
tlement, and the attorneys retired for
an hour to discuss terms. On their
return the tentative arbitration plan
was broached and received the sanction
of the directors.
At the meeting of the board tomor
row definite plans will be adopted, but
it is said that in all probability the caee
will be settled by an arbitration com
mission in St. Louie, which, under Mis
souri laws, would have power to
pena witnesses and render a decleiorf
binding on all parties.
Before hearing the Bresnahan claim
the directors decided that they had
