Magnates Pleased With Ruling of Court?Jay Gould Defeats Mixsell in Squash Final
Federal League May Appeal
But This Would Take Time
Yankee Owners Rejoiee Over Decision, as It
Insures Them Services of Ruth for Another
Year; Players' Fraternity Plans Are Affected
By W. J. Macbeth"
Those who are financially interested in professional basehall interpret
the ruling of the Appelate Court as most favorable to the cause of the
sport. Despite tho most successful season of history in 1920, those who
had invested great fortunes in the promotion of the game were appre?
hensive. The very fact that large fortunes had been attained in a year
that ran riot in everything that smacked of entertainment and recreation
had the promoters much worried about the proposition of holding their
chattels over for another season.
For instance, there comes along"
every once in every twenty-five years
or so a Babe Ruth. Tho Yankees
paui a record price to wean this home
run slugger from the Boston Red Sox.
Ruth has earned more money hippo
droming the "sticks" since his Ameri?
can League season ended than he
earned under contract for his Ameri?
can League endeavors?even though he
slammed out tifty-four home runs
through the season's drill. In New
York Ruth is an asset of incalculable
worth. He was signed to a contract
for 1921, as well as for 1020 when he
reported to Manager Miller Huggins
at Jacksonville, Fla., Inst spring.
The decision of the Appellate Court
as handed down yesterday assures to
the New York Club the services of
Babe Ruth for the prospective season.
The decision recognizes the validity of
the reserve clause?heretofore re?
garded as a necessary evil?in the
player contract.
Breathing Space Assured
There probably will be an appeal taken
to the Supreme Court. Irrespective of
that outcome, which will require two
or three years if the Federal Leaguers
do appeal, a breathing space will be
vouchsafed for the champions of or?
ganized baseball to realign and re?
construct their fences.
Next Saturday in this city there will
meet the joint committees represent?
ing the two majors and the various
minor leagues to draft a new working
agreement between the two branches
of this big family.
Judge Landis, the new High Com?
missioner of Organized Baseball, is
to preside at this meeting. The reserve '
clause of organized baseball was one !
of the keen problems of his judicial ;
mind as expressed in conversation with ]
baseball writers here recently. It was I
the problem, he frankly confessed, that
stayed his decision when the Federal ;
League sued organized baseball under;
the Sherman anti-trust law.
The decision of the Appellate Court,,
for the time at least, will iron out!
many perplexing problems of the im?
mediate future. It is felt it will ruin
whatever attempt has been made to
resurrect the Baseball Players' Fra?
ternity. It is understood plans were
already under way to organize the
playing fraternity into a gigantic
union such as was formed, and inc.-;
?entally ruined, by the Federal League.
Better Line on Situation
At the meeting her?? Saturday, when !
new working agreement is to be
? '.rafted, promoters of baseball will [
ave a better line on the situation than
as possible before. It was supectedj
hat subterfuges would have to be re-j
: orted to to cover up that fundamental
rinciple on which the game is laid?
the idea of preventing the clubs with
the biggest bank rolls from weaning
iway the greatest stars of the game.
The annual meeting of the New In?
ternational League is to be held next
[ >nday at the Hotel Imperial. At that
me the league will be confronted
vith the proposition of declaring for
r against the privilege of draft upon
minor league clubs by major league
teams. Jack Dunn, the Baltimore mag?
nate, is unalterably opposed to the
draft. He operates on a major league
scale to win pennant after pennant.
He has pledged his city n?ver to sell
a player so long as he does not stand
in danger of losi. ? him by draft.
But in this way Dunn and others
iike him close to the minor league
players the avenues for advancement.
The big meeting here next week has
for its object the safeguarding of base?
ball interests?minor as well as major.
The Appellate Court has opened the ]
door to reform in baseball, which ha?
been so widely discussed but which
has seen little real action to date.

its willingness to devote its surplus

The stockholders concur in the view j

Evidence in Ball
Scandal Is Seized
By Presiding Judge
CHICAGO, Dec. 7.?Chief Justice
Charles A. McDonald seized grand jury
evidence in the baseball scandal to?
day following discovery that copies
of papers in the case had been ob?
tained by Maclay Hoyne, State's Attor?
ney, shortly before his retirement from
office, yesterday.
All of the original papers were
turned over to the judge, who ordered'
them impounded by the clerk until
the cases of eight White Sox players
who were indicted come to trial.
Judge Robert Crowe, who succeeded
Hoyne as State's Attorney, ordered an
investigation after Hartley Replogle,
former Assistant State's Attorney, who
conducted the baseball investigation,
notified Justice McDonald that Hoyne
had demanded copies of the papers
last Friday.
Hoyne later said he had asked for
the records simply to have copies made
to be put in the cases in his office, for
which he was responsible, and that
the copies were there now, sealed up.
"As outgoing State's Attorney I was
responsible for all of the papers," said
Hoyne, "and I ordered Mr, Replogle
to turn them over to my secretarj.
Mr. Replogle, as Assistant State's At?
torney, of course, had to do as I or?
dered. There is no 'scandal' and noth?
ing wrong."
Federal Judge Kenesaw Mountain
Landis, baseball commissioner, when
informed of the affair by President
Ban Johnson of the American League
said that if it was found any of the
evidence had been tampered with or
was missing Federal action would be
taken against the guilty persons.
"Baseball is going to be cleared of
gamblers, and there is no one who will
be allowed to interfere," said Judge
Landis.
Thomas E. Nash, attorney for George
Weaver, one of the White Sox players
indicted on a charge of accepting a
bribe in connection with the 1919
world's series, said that the original
evidence was in court last Friday, as
he had seen it at that time.

Columbia Football
Team May Meet
Illinois Next Fall
Columbia next season will again have
Pennsylvania and Cornell on its foot?
ball schedule and may have a sectional
game with either Illinois or Centre,
it is rumored at the university. The
complete schedule, it is understood,
will be about the same as that of hist
season, with the exception of the sec?
tional game which, if secured, would
be held at the Polo Grounds some time
along the latter part of October.
If either Illinois or Centre cannot be
gotten effort3 will be made to secure
a date with either Dartmouth, West
Point or Syracuse. Whatever develop?
ments evolve out of the present rumors
it is certain that one more big game
will be added to Columbia's schedule.
If Columbia's schedule, with the one
exception, is the same next year as it
was this, Cornell will be a visitor at
the Polo Grounds while the Blue and
White will go to Philadelphia.
The schedule last year included New
York University, Amherst, Williams,
Swarthmore, Wesleyan and Trinity,
aside from Pennsylvania and Cornell.
It is not known which of these games
will be dropped in order to accomo
date the sectional game.

For the first time since the 18.2 balk
line billiard chnmpionship tournament
started Monday afternoon at the Hotel
Astor, Willie Hoppa last night dis?
played the cue ability which won him
the title fifteen years ago, and as a re
i suit decisively defeated Jake Schaefer,
? 400 to 175, in the third round of play.
The challenger was completely out?
classed, and, to make the victory more
impressive, Hoppe registered a high run
j of 179, the record for the tournament.
In the afternoon game Welker Coclr
, ran, who gave Hoppe a severe test on
i Monday evening, fell a victim of the
: dazzling play of Schaefer, who ran out
i the string while the latest "boy won
j der" was making 207 points. In this
| came the San Francisco youth was at
I his best, and his fall from form in the
! evening contest was a remarkable up
| set.
Hoppe started the evening match
I slowly with 13 in th.? first inning and
I 9 in the second, but in the third he
: brought the balls together and started
I on the long run, to stop only at the
i 179th point on a difficult around-the
j table shot. The champion averaged
; 28 8-14, and completed the string in
: fourteen innings. Schaefer was de
| cidedly erratic, missing set-ups and
t making spectacular shots with great
? regularity. Schaefcr's high run was
| 101 and his average 15 7-13.
Schaefer won the break in the after?
noon, but was slow and unsteady until
I the s-ixth inning; when, after a few
| open table shots, he got the halls to
l gether near the lower balkline and
j clicked off 172 points with only five
I breaks. This amazing run was ended
or. a long and difficult follow shot, fol
! lowing the last br?ak, which came at
I 108.
Cochran's game was as ragged as the
v'.nrer's was brilliant. The loser at
no time threatened to make the contest
close. Welker tried hard, but had no
control whatever over the balls and
missed many simple masse and draw
shots. Schaefer's final point of the
match was one of the most spectacular
of the tournament?a 5-cushion, around
the-ts.ble shot.

The Boost and the Slump
Did you ever notice how quickly the boost in sport is all too often
followed by a slump? Or, as Shakespeare said, among one or two other
things: "Beware when men speak too well of thee."
It is one of the quaint turns of the game that resounding praise
hardly dies out before the hero either loses an important game or hits
the soapy chute with a running start.
A day or two ae;o we happened to run across these few lines which
we wrote in 1014, under the heading "Ballade of the Game's Greatest
Loader":
Speaking of leaders?well, we are?
Alexander iras certainly there;
Bonaparte has a shade on par,
C&sar flashed with an edge to spare.
There with the pep in the Do and Dare,
Carrying ramparts grim and bloody,
Hail to Lee in the great fan fart?
And then?there is Mr. McGillicuddy.
Charlemagne was a big league star;
Washington ivas a c. eclair;
Show me the cove who can ever mar
Cromwell's fame as a feline bear!
Doc Mahomet, the White ?lope scare,
Gave the game quite a careful study;
For U. S. Grant let the bugles blare!
And then?there is Mr. McGillicuddy.
The Aftermath
The above loud and lyrical cheers for Connie Mack were spilled late
in September, 1914, just after Mack had won his fourth American League
championship within five years.
What happened shortly afterward?
Merely this: a few weeks later the Boston Braves beat him four
straight times for the world's series title-?a record in decisive defeats.
And from that point on the same Mr. McGillicuddy has finished a
bad last for six consecutive years in the league that he had ruled.
The Remarkable Trojan
Ty Cobb is the greatest all-around star baseball has ever known, with
his record of twelve years of leadership out of the last fourteen campaigns.
"Babe" Ruth is the greatest slugger baseball has ever known, by a
margin too wide to be measured by mere statistics.
Tris Speaker is the greatest fielding outfielder baseball has ever car?
ried, beyond any argument.
But a human splinter by the name of John J. Evers, of Troy, N. Y.,
and Chicago, 111., comes close to being the most remarkable product the
game has ever introduced.
Evers began his career with the Cubs around eighteen years ago.
A bundle of nerves and brain, with every nerve at the surface, few
figured the light, slender Trojan would ever survive many campaigns
beneath the spotlight.
He has been figured out of baseball at least three times. His shadow
has passed over the hill more than once.
Eight years ago he was canned as a major league manager, at the
head of the Cubs.
In 1913 he was figured all in as a player, and in 1914 he came back
for another fine year with the Boston Braves.
Then he dropped out again and his career was once more supposed to
be closed. Now, working hard to build up a machine for 1921, the same
Trojan is back on the job again as the Big Bear of the Cub parade.
He has drawn enough unkempt luck to wreck a division, but fate
hasn't devised a sufficient number of wallops yet to stop him on the
way up.
Worth Watching
Most attempted come-backs are hardly worth the attention of the
human eye. The public has but little interest left in the champion who
has had his wreath knocked over one ear.
But Willard's yearning for one more shot at Dcmpsey may lead to
interesting developments.
Dempsey is younger, faster and a better boxer. But there is still a
belief in numerous circles that if Willard trains the proper way, adjust?
ing himself both mentally and physically for one supreme test, his sixty
or seventy extra pounds, his longer reach and his commanding height
may even things up.
Trobably they won't. But the chance is there.
The movo to have an American code of golf rules that has no de?
pendence on a British code of golf rules may sound very patriotic and
therefore carry a certain appeal. But golf is an international sport?an
international sport where the British have shown themselves quite will?
ing to meet any adjustment half way. To ignore this position is not only
unsportsmanlike, but a trifle worse than foolish. For it is a movo that
won't go through.*
Many are bawled?but most of them deserve it.

Champion Wins
Four-Set Match
Gould's Back - Hand Slams
Bring Victory in
Fall Scratch Tournament
By Jack Masters
By the consistent use of the wicked
back-hand stroke which made him
champion of all court racquet wielders,
professional and amateur alike, Jay
Gould, of the Columbia Club, defeated
Harold R. Mb*sell, of the Princeton
Club, in the final of the annual fall
scratch tournament of the National
Squash Association yesterday after?
noon.
Gould's dazzling chango of pace was
not in evidence at any time during the
match, but after the first set, which
was the only one credited to his op?
ponent, the Columbia man was invin?
cible, returning shots that were seem?
ingly out of reach and exhibiting re?
markable recoveries from poor posi?
tions. The complete score of the
match, which was played on the win?
ner's home court, was 8?15, 15?9,
15?11, 15?7.
At the start Gould was unsteady and
depended wholly upon terrific drives,
while Mixsell played a tantalizing slow
ball with great success, the latter tak?
ing the first match 15?8.
Opponents Switch Tactics
As the second set got under way both
men changed tactics. Gould discarded
slugging the ball for a more even
style, which included many excellent
'round-the-court shots. Mixsell made
the error of turning from his forte?
the slow ball?to try slugging with the
one man who has no suDerior in this
department, and thereafter the result
waa never in doubt.
Gould rapidly developed his back?
hand slams and held his opponent help?
less except on one occasion, when Mix
sell broke loose with a series of bril?
liant 'round-the-court rallies, which
gave him a 9?4 advantage. At this
point the Columbia player resorted to
a slow-dropping service, coupled with
an uncanny ability to reach the ball
when a return seemed utterly impos?
sible. Mixsell was completely baffled,
and Gould ran out the eleven pointa
while his opponent "stood still."
'"he third set was featured by
Gould's long accurate drives and an
unusual lot of interference, the play?
ers colliding more frequently than in
; any scratch match see.- in.this vicinity
in a l>ng while. Here again, the win
| ncr was slow in starting and Mixsell
i led at 10?8, but Gould rallied and
ran out while the Tiger player could
gather only one more point.
Mixsell Makes Mistakes
Both men were often caught out of
position in the last set, and here
Gculd once lore demonstrated his
right to be rated with the best of
squash tennis stars. His racquet ap?
peared to be r.n integral part of his
arm, so masterful and agile was his
play. True, Mixsell was guilty of
using poor judgment on siveral shots,
hut even had the runnner-up been in
his best form the result would have
been the same.
