Minor Leagues Expected to Determine Winning Faction If Baseball War Is Started

Of Ban's Foes
Heydler Says Five "Hold?
outs'" and Johnson Only
Can Stave Off Upheaval
CHICAGO, Oct. 19. -Probability of
a baseball war was freely discussed
by baseball men here to-day, many of
them called to testify before the grand
jury investigating the scandal result?
ing from the 1919 world serios.
While President Pan B. Johnson, of
tre American League, refused to be
Il terviewed, friends of his declared an
r.ttempt was being made to oust him
from the American League presidency.
Men who were- not favorable to John?
son said 1rs apparent opposition to
reorganization was simply a continua?
tion of his opposition to the club
owner? who sided against him last
winter.
Some baseball men professed to see
the solution of the problem in the
meeting of minor longue officials at
Kansas City. November 9, saying that
vbichever side the minors sided with
would win, for the other sii.e would
be unable to obtain ball players and
Would he "starved out."
The eleven major league club owners
who attended yesterday's conference,
however, have signed an agreement
that they will stick together and form
, a twelve club league if th? other rive
American League clubs and President
Johnson do not join them in the re?
organization plans. An ultimatum was
issued giving the five clubs until
November 1 to make known their de?
cision.
1 ?' the action of eleven club owners
in coin? on record as favoring abroga?
tion of the national agreement, which
governs professional leagues, results
:n a baseball war. the responsibility
will rest with the five American League
clubs which hiive not yet signified their
intention of taking part in the pro?
posed reorganization of control of the
game, President John Heydler of the
National League said to-night in a
statement.
The eight National Longue clubs and
the tl ? .-.an ! t ague clubs
New York, ' hi ? i Boston did
rot declare war when they advocated
control of baseball by a tribunal of
three men not financially interested in
the game, but were making a declara?
tion of principle in order to save the

"Th" ? taken -\i Monday's n'cht

and d rial :beration of men
of m eritj and honesty

that in no other way can the revision
of basebal' government be accomplished
end the just demands ?jf the American
public bo met.
"The men who 'have so pledged them

Tiger Varsity Faces
3 Different Teams,
But Does Poor Work
PRINCETON, N. .T., Oct. IP. ? Bill
Rrper put the Tiger football squad
through a long scrimmage to-day
ncrainst three different combination?.
The first eleven to lino up against the
varsity was the freshman aggregation,
I soon proved to be no match for
( i big ? r team. Nat Poe's "omelettes"
wen next. They comprise the numer
, ?us in?ligibles at the university, and
the play was more even, but it was
not long before even they began to
lose their drive under the powerful
varsity attack, and the second team
stepped in to oppose the first eleven.
Despite the fact that they made half
a dozen touchdowns against their
numerous opponents, the Tiger coach is
still far from satisfied with the work
of his first foam. The forward passing
game, which showed such marked im?
provement* in the Washington and Lee
contest over that of the preceding
week, was very poor to-day
The presence of Captain Callaban In
the scrimmage seemed to inspire drive
into Die men. but ho was not risked
long in the scrimmage. Pon Lourie,
along with Callahan, was given a rather
easy day, and after a short work-out
was sent to the field house. His posi?
tion at quarter was taken by littl<>
Johnnj Gorman, the smallest man on
the squad, and he proved to be the
star of the day li?' semed to be every?
where on the field and handled the
team well.

Cornell Works Till Dark:

ITHACA, X. Y Oct. 10 Cornell's
first and second football sounds wore
kept at work until dark to-night. Coach
Dobie is aiming to "wise up" the regu
lars to the sort of attack they must
expect from Colgate, and as most of
the local players have never played

hard JOD in overcoming their inexpe?
rience.
All of the varsity men except Hor

brought m Ins second string of backs.

have thus far had the call for the places
behind the line. Dobie likes Hoff's

are also coming rapidly. t alleson
a new halfback, and Rollo, a tackle,
are showing good form.

Dartmouth line this afternoon Crisp,

Ebbets to Relire
From Game, Says
Chicago Interview
From a Special Corrcspnndent
CHICAGO, Oct. 19.- Charles II. Eb
bets, president of the Brooklyn Na?
tional League baseball club, 1920 pen?
nant winners in the parent major
league circuit, announced here to-day
1 it was hit; intention to dispose of his
; interests in the Dodgers and to retire
' from the game.
"I havo been in baseball for thirty
! eight years," said Mr. Ebbets, "and as
! 1 am sixty-one now I think it is about
| time (o quit."
Mr. Ebbets would give no hint as to
the price he would ask for his inter
i : ' , nor would he indicate the name or
names of prospective purchasers. Nor
could it be learned whether Mr. Eb?
bets was prompted in the expressed de
I sire for retirement by developments in
? the big scandal which now confronts
: organized baseball.
As president of the Dodgers it is be?
lieved that Mr. Ebbets controls a ma?
jority of the club stock. Hi: principal
associates are the McKeevei brothers,
? Edward and Stephen, The corporation
owns not only the franchise, but the
rich real estate and plant at Ebbets
Field.
! nder the able management of Wil
bert Robinson, this property, which
was heavily involved when Sunday
baseball was legalized in New York
State, has been cleared of debt. The
club is reported to have made more
than $750,000 this year. It is now ab
tely free ''vom all encumbrances.
i rom time to Lime various syndicates
. and int crests hu .'c all i:i ptcd to I uj
! hi Brookl \ n club wil hin t he lai I i'n e
years. It i? reported the owners asked
$2,000,000 one year ago .. price that
.was considered excessive at the time.
It is doubtful if any team to-day would
bring nearly the market value that
could have been realized a few weeks
ago, before the baseball scandal broke.
The special grand jury investigating
gambling in organized basetiall to-day
excused Mr. Ebbets, Harry Ii. Frazee,
president of the Boston Red Sox, and
George W. Grant, president of the Bos?
ton Braves. These magnates all de?
clared they had no information that
could help the investigation.
John A, Heydler, of the National
League, was subpoenaed to submit, the
records of all investigations of crook?
edness in baseball made by the Na?
tional League. Mr. Heydler declared
these investigations dated back as far
as games played in 1917, in which Hal
', (base, later exonerated, was the cen
; tral figure.
il?utffrrs Second Eleven
i ~
Defeats Freshies, 7 to 0
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Oct. 19.?
While the varsity had a brief resting
! spell to-day, the Rutgers second team
; defeated the newly organized fresh
1 man eleven, by a score of 7 to 0.
i Howard Raub, who is ineligible foi
the varsity this year on account of
scholastic tifiubles was the star of the
scrubs.
After their rest, the coaches drove
the ^trsity men at high speed. The
men had a long signal drill, but there1,
was only a hrief scrimmage. Kingman
is being tried at tackle this week and
has lfen doing well. Douglass mude
such a good showing at quarterback
in the practice game that he had a
tryout with the varsity, but. it is not
likely that he will displace Maloney.
Bunting was one of the big features
of the drill to-day, and Mort Redmond
again showed up well. The punting in
last Saturday's game before Redmond
was sent in was woefully weak, Rut?
gers meets the University of Virginia
team this week on the home field, with
Cornell a week Inter.
Bezdek I\ot Worrying
About Lebanon Game
[ STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Oct. 19.?
I', ing the fr< innen instead of the
scrubs. Coach Bezdek sent his varsity
eleven through their usual scrimmage
this afternoon, although several of the
regulars were kept on the bench.
The Blue and White coach does not I
have to drive his squad so hard this j
week because Lebanon Valley is pot j
expected to be n dangerous opponent, |
but he will take advantage of the ;
breathing spell to prepare for the game
with Penrr next week.
Tackling down the field and giving
interference are the two things that
showed the need of special attention in i
the. North Carolina game, and Bez?
dek will devote his time to those fea?
tures this. week.

Dempsey vs. Carpentier
In the first place, please consider the fact that we are in no sense
ballyhooing a Dempsey-Carpentier match.
In the second place, we are not lifting our angular and ungainly
form to remark that we think Carpentier can win.
But kindly consider these few items in forming your opinions:
1. When Corbett fought Sullivan, how many believed Corbett had
! even an outside chance?the stripling against the slugging gladiator?
j Not one in ton thousand.
2. When the crudo, lumbering Jim Jeffries met the mighty Fitz
simmons, how many gave Jeff even an outside chance?
3. In a lighter degree, how many believed that Jess Willard could
knock out Jack Johnson?
Jack Dempsey has slaughtered every boxer on this side of the ocean.
The odds would be all in his favor against Carpentier. But the latter is
a fast, trained fighter with a killing punch. He is the one type who might
. have a chance with a break in the luck through the medium of a quickly
landed wallop.
The Two Types
We can see Dempsey now as he faced Willard?as he shifted in and
out with his easy, leopard-like glide, wasting no exertion?a weaving,
moving target?and then suddenly lashing out with uncanny swiftness.
'? Against this type we have Carpentier as he faced Levinsky?on top of his
1 man with a rush, whaling away with both hands in a fast and furious
assault.
As we last saw them both they are opposite types. But Dempsey has
also been known to rush his man. and if he and Carpentier ever meet and
both adopt the rushing tactics what a whirl there would be!
Short and Blooie
When two boxers who can hit as these two can hit get together the
contest isn't going to last many hours.
Both carry dynamite in their gloves, and unless both decided to get
wary for a round or two the finish would probably come with vast abrupt?
ness.
One punch from Dempsey has been quite sufficient to end most of his
battles inside of a round.
Carpentier has also been a quick finisher. When two quick finishers
| meet what else can you look for except a quick finish? Very little.
The Other Side of It
During the now departed world series we were talking one night in
| Cleveland with Bob Gilkes, the Yankee scout, who was a member of the
| Cleveland club just thirty-two years ago.
"If you think this baseball scandal hits many of the fans hard," re?
marked Bob, "how do you think it affects old ballplayers who have given'
I their life to the game?
"I have been in baseball for well over thirty years as player, man
! ager and scout and I can hold up my right hand to heaven and swear
; that in all that time I never saw a ball game thrown until this Chicago
' bunch came, along. In all that time I was never approached by a gambler
or by any one else to turn a crooked trick. Just because there are a few
! crooks it is hardly fair to forget the honesty of the big majority. Base
\ ball, on the average, has still been the cleanest of all games played."
It is to protect this traditional honesty that drastic measures are re
, quired now?measures that require a thorough change, a keener vision, a
greater alertness and aggressiveness. Very likely these won't come, and
very likely if they don't the public will forget. Things have happened so
before.
It will he interesting to have the Harvard football eleven vote upon
the comparative merits of Benny Boynton and Bo McMillin after Satur?
day's game.
Three Princeton supporters desire to enter the name of Stanley Keck
as the star tackle of 1920. Consider said entry completed.
The human animal is a queer creature. Battling Levinsky fights
over 200 times where he gives his best. And then, in his final test, he
wipes out the record of a long career by standing like a dummy until he
is toppled over, refusing to make a battle of it at any stage. And it is
this last effort that he will be remembered by.
As Usual
The north wind doth blow and we shall have snow,
And what will the duffer do then, old thing?
He will start on the run for the sand arid the sun

Harvard Varsity
Shows lip Well
Against the Scrub
o
From a special Correspondent
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 19. The
Harvard varsity eleven scored two
touchdowns this afternoon in a forty
minute scrimmage with the second
team. Owen, right halfback, was re?
sponsible for both of them. One. was
made after a 40-yard dash on a skin
tackle play. Feature runs were also
I contributed by .loo Fitzgerald, who ran
I the regular eleven, and Vinton Chap?n,
! a second string back.
Fitzgerald replaced Puell at quarter?
back this afternoon, and ran his team
I well. He appears to bo somewhat.more
: finished in his work, but will find it
hard to shako oft' Buell, whose drop
kicking is the strongest sort of asset.
The hacks otherwise wore Arthur Ham?
ilton, Dick Humphrey and George
! Owen. Captain Horween, although in
togs, did not scrimmage.
In the rush line Havemeyer at center
and Woods at guard wore given a holi?
day, Both are rather stiff after the
Williams game but will be back in the
line-up to-morrow. Kunhardt, third
string center, took Havemeyer's place,
! as Charlie Tierney is still unable to
scrimmage. Fiskc Brown worked in
i Wood's position.
The varsity line-up was: Left cad,
Kane; left tackle, Faxon; left guard,
: Brown; center, Kunhardt; right guard,
Tolbert; right tackle, Hubbard; right
end, Gaston; quarterback, Fitzgerald;
; left halfback. Humphrey; right half?
back, Owen; fullback, Hamilton.

Fumbles Played Prominent
Part in Saturday's Games
Boston College Converted Two Miscues of Kelly
Into Touchdowns, and Error of the Same Sort
Gave Syracuse a Tie With Pittsburgh Eleven
By Ray McCarthy
Fumbles played a prominent part in at least six victories on the grid?
iron last Saturday. What is more, they will continue to play a leading \
r?le in various contests until the curtain is rung down. The fact that !
it is only mid-season floes not account for fumbling. These bobbles
pre as much a part of football as errors are of baseball, and are confined !
i lo no particular stage of the season.
On Saturday, October 9, Penn State
?and Dartmouth played a hard game
I without one rniscur. This is consid?
ered an early season setto. Last week
at least six games were won and lost
oh fumbles. Boston College converted
two misses by Frank Kelly into touch?
downs, one Roderick scooping up one
fumble, Captain Urban another.
Lafayette was rushing Pennsylvania
all over the lot and > apparently the
' superior team seemed destined to win.
It didn't. The Eastonians wore march?
ing to a touchdown toward the close of
: the fray, Gazella fumbled, and blooie
went the game. Straus cam" through
I on high, tucked the ball into a snug
corner of his anatomy and scampered
'across tiie line for the only score of
the game.
Pittsburgh rushed the ball over the
lino in the early part of its battle with
Syracuse. Late in the third period
! Laughran dropped the leather as he
'was ploughing through the line and
Mr. Gulick made a hero of himself by
t.-,'MiK forty yards for a touchdown,
thus tieing the score.
Pulleyn, Columbia end, recovered a
, fumbled punt by Zink and put. the Blue
and Whit" in a position to score a
touchdown. Scovil later grabbed up
?another fumble and scored. Those two
touchdowns were Columbia's margin of
'victory ever Amherst.
Princeton got a huge jump, a recu?
lar kangaroo leap, cm Washington and
Leo when Garrity grabbed a fumble
and scored in the tir.-' quarter. Before
that the Generals were moving along
nicely. That tue:.;-, helped to ki!i
them. Dartmouth and Holy Cross each
got a touchdown our. of a fun:hi- ii
? their struggle. But, fumbles are all a
I par*, of the rame and for them there
j can be no alibis.
If, at any time, you happen to be
w'atching a football practice and you
? notice a likely looking player who :
no with the varsity squad you can
pi ?': ;.! ly put it do? n, he ?s a meml -r
of the so-called ineligible squad E eh
college nowadays has one of t^ese.
Yale uses one to scrimmage against
the varsity. So does Princeton and
other colleges. The Tiger.-, are looking
forward to a big seas? n ?ext year with
j a team made up of several of these in?
?ligibles.
j Arthur Brickley, brother of the rm'rd
Charlie, and Carl Deitjen, brother of
' the Wesleyan Deitjen, who was a fin?
i player, are members <^f this squad at
\ Columbia. Von may see thorn almost
: any <l,iy at South Field. Each is an ?< -
; ceptionally fine kicker, both as to punt
I ing and goal-kicking. Deitjen appears
' to have the edge in punting, but Brick
r ley shapes up as the better drop-kicker,
: and in this respect gives promise of
i rivaling his older brother.
i _
Up at Harvard they think they have
'another Casey in the person of "Flit
. ter" Fit,:;;?, raid. The manner in which
he drove the team in the Williams
[ game leads the crit ios to th ? b -: ei.
S Fitzgerald is a former Muhlenburg
College player, where ho starred a.- a

Yale Freshmen
Seore 13 Points
On Varsity Team
7-'<-o>? n Special Correspondent
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 19 For
the first time this year the Yale
varsity eleven to-day met the fresh
men, and the regulars won only after
the 1921 players had become too tired
to retain their early advantage. The
final tally was '?I to 13, the same ^"rp
as in the Boston College game of last
Saturday.
! The freshmen showed up 'he inferi?
ority of the varsity defense for the
forward pass. Charley O'Hearn, act?
ing rap ain of the yearlings, a former
Andover star, heaved one for a gain
of forty-five yard.- and several others
I that were successful.
The shake-up made yesterday by
! Head Coach Tad Jones was continued
to-day and the drop-kicking and field
generalship or' Quarterback Thome
! Murphy featured the play. ''Fatty"
Herr, star guard of the freshmen last
ar, returned to the line-up and was
given right guard. He may play part
of Saturday's game. Because he lost
forty pounds Herr has not been us id
for two weeks. He has regained
j twelve since he quit fo.>tball.
T-vo additions to the coaching staff
were Paul Yeeder. formerly head
coach, and "Piggy" Paige, tackle when
Tad Jones played quarterback.
O'Hearn opened t h ^ .--coring five
minutes a'"ter play began by racing
through a broken varsity field, follow?
ing Kempton's fifty-yard punt. The
freshmen quickly scored again through
a dazzling succession of forward
passes uncorked by O'Hearn ana
I ?eidlinger. One goal was missed.
The varsity then scored twice.
Murphy caught a kick and ran the
i bal! bac'-: forty yards, giving Frank
; Kelly a chance to drive across th?
[ hue in two smashes, each gaining fif?
teen yards. The second varsity
touchdown followed whi:i Kempton
cut loose with a forty-yard run and
on the following play scored on an
end run. The freshmen were becom?
ing too tired to resist the pounding
of "Big Ben" Jourdan Kelly and
Kempton, Jourdan finally taking the
ball across for the final score.
"Dicky" Dilworth and Eddie Shev
lin returned to the varsity as ends.
O'Brien was tried out at tackle with
Mackay. Bean, of the third team, was
used at guard with Into and Herr.
