Nationals to Open 1914 Base Ball Season in Philadelphia April 14 : _ . _ * , ? ? NATIONALS MAY OPEN 1914 SEASON AT PHILADELPHIA Not Likely to Appear on Local Grounds in Championship Game Until Lat ter Part of April. i BY J. ED GRILLO. The Nationals may not open the sea son of 1914 on their own {{rounds. Ban Johnson, who, with Barney Drey fuss of Pittsburgh, arranges the two major league schedules every year, gave it as his opinion it: New York the other day that the Nationals would open the sea son in Philadelphia, while the Red Sox would be the yuests of Frank Chance's ??am. at the Polo Grounds. The date for the opening has been fixed for April ! 4. If this plan is carried out the chances are that the Nationals will open the season ;it h??nte r.ot before the latter j' jiar. of April, for it is not uni kely j 1 that they will have to go to Boston ' j from Philadelphia before the> (o:ne to ; i their own grounds. Johnson and Drey- j l fuss are having a conference in Pitts- j burgh today regarding tne schedule, and I sonu time later in the winter they v.*?. i i g1-: together and frame up the date:-' [? for the games to he played by the two ' J major leagues next season. The mak- | ? lug of the schedules is a strenuous j ) task, for the reason that great care i > is taken to prevent as many conflicting j dates in the cities where both leagues ' ( are represented as possible. ! < < ?loe Tinker is very much i:i demand. a;id j the Cincinnati c ub is sure to Kei a very j , advantageous deal or an enormous J j avount of cash for his release. Tinker' ! Is considered the best shortstop in the j j o!d league and there is not a club in : ] that circuit which is not willing to ne- j . rotiHte for his services. it stands to' i reason however, that the Cincinnati club j 1 ! ] Disappointed Over Georgetown Victory, But Ciaims Title Nevertheless. i i i i ; 1 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.. November j ] 2t?.?The Virginia team arrived here last j i night after having been entertained ex- ' tensively in Richmond by the alumni of i tha city, well satisfied with the victory scored over North Carolina. Ray, the varsity right halfback, was in- , 1 jured in the early part of the last <iuar-1 ter of the game, and though the injury v. as not considered serious at the time it later developed that he received a ; I re- en jaw. He gamely continued to play a'te. receiving the knock and was a big factor in scoring the two touchdowns made in the last period. ! Carolina proved stronger than had been ! anticipated ami the score does rot indi- j eate the showing made by the Tarheels. ' Head Coacn Warren last night express ed himself as satisfied with the record made l?v the Change and Blue this falL i it said of course he v.as disa: point.* d at losing to Georgetown. He feels, how-' ever, that his team has a sIrons claim on the southern championship, notwlth standing the one defeat, as the Hilt- 1 toppers are the only ones who could set ; up a ciaint against Virginia and they in ; turn lost several games in tiie earlier j part of the season, one of which was to ' Carolina A. and II.

Harry Grabi ner. secretaiy of ti:e Chicago club of the American Base Ball League, yesterday notified Doc White of the Chicago club that he hud been released to the Venice ? Cal.) club. White made provisional ar rangements several weeks ago to join the Venice club if l?e could pel his release from the American League. White it is understood, is to till in the l'.?lt season as a player and assume charge of the club as manager in I'.M.".. He has played in the American League since l'.K?2.

Tne national base ball commission yesterday upheld the national hoard in the cas>* of the Wausau club of the Wisconsin-Illinois Iveaguc against Player-manager Malloy. formerly of that club. The national itoard decided that the club owed >lal loj aci*ording to his contract, and the national commission held the eon tract to.be binding and upheld this ue c'sion. Hunters Get 7,530 Deer in Season. I'M'L, November "JV. Seven thou sand live hundred deer iiav r fallen Ik.? forr the onslaught of hunters in Min oia in the season which ends to.nor tow. according to estimates made by 11. A. Rider of the state game and fish com mission. He says it has been the best season for hunting these animals in a dee ad. despite the absence of snow in the northern woods. Kill prefer players to cash for Tinker. Mis going leaves the tealn v.ith a badly weakened intleld and a special effort will t>e made to strengthen this department in any dea' which involves Tinker. It all depends on which of the other clubs ran make the best proposition in so for as players are concerned, for there s hardly a chance of Tinker being of fered for cash. * Tinker was obtained by Cincinnati iust about a year ago. The Cubs let Fiiiker and a couple of >ouiiKsters now in the minors go to the Reds for Phelan, Humphries. Corridon. Knisely and Mitch ?ll. Herrmann bought Corridon from De roit for to help swing the deal md also save up $2,.~0y to a minor league Mub lor Knisely, who was soon turned >ut by Evers. .Mitche ! was sold to the Pirates, but lumphries led the National League pitch er:s last season, while Phelan and Cor idon played good ball for the Cubs. If Evers succeeds in getting Joe Tinker :ue Cubs are sure to be a factor in the ie:ct National League rate. Evers made t splendid showing with his team in the ast campaign, but his team, like several >ther teams in the league, was weak j it shortfUId. and Tinker is just the man i o iill that hole. But the chances are .oi bright for Tinker to return to his I >?1 team, for the very good reason that! -.vers lias little or nothing to offer in J he way of playing material, and the! inciimati eluo must have "players in ex- i ?haage for its former manager. \\ iieii the National Leaguers sather in1 ^ew \ ork the second week in Decernb -r ! hey will have an opportunity to see three I >a.i players past and present on the! atr.e theatrical bill.

Piercing cold and high winds are not conducive to peace of mind and calmness of temper. To many tempera ments a windy day means tangled and frazzled nerves and an irritable mood. The evidence is plain that a land en dowed with bright skies and balmy breezes breeds sweet-tempered sons and daughters. On one side there may be ir ritability. keenness to get and to keep, 'nearness" in money matters and a con servative chilliness of manner. On the other side there may be good temper, generosity, sociability, toleration and a disposition to some confidence in one's fellow-man, bred by the goodly sunshine.

CARLISLE, Pa., November 29.?The Carlisle Indian foot ball squad returned from the Brown game at Providence yes terday in better physical condition thar. any foot ball aggregation lias enjoyed in the twenty-five years the college game has been in vogue here.

FEDERAL LEAGUERS IN OLD PITTSBURGH j Developments of Importance! May Occur in the Smoky City Today. __________ PITTSBURGH. Pa.. Novembei 2j.?To quote the words of President John B. 1 Barbour of the local Federal League ; team, "the so-called outlaw league will ! come into its own" at the meeting of | the magnates which is being held at the j Pittsburgh Athletic Club In this city to- j day, and to make his prophecy stronger j Mr. Barbour declared that when the I meeting had adjourned sine die base ball history will have been made that wiii startle many people who have attempted to belittle the new organization. Owners or their representatives from cluus holding franchises in Balti more. Chicago, Kansas City. Indianapolis, St. Louis. Cleveland. Buffalo and Pitts burgh are present at the meeting. All teams that have not yet compiled with all requirements of the new organization are prepared to do so today. * ! Matters Holding Over. Many of the most important matters, taken up at the adjourned Chicago meet- j ing some time ago were left in abeyance ; because early- action would not have been 1 advantageous to the clubs until all had : established themselves on a sound iinan- j cial basis and could show that they had | secured grounds in their respective cities J satisfactory to the league committee which was appointed to look after such matters. Another important detail that is being gone over at today's meeting is the i chance of securing players from the I major and minor leagues which ar^ now operating under the rules o/. the natlo sal commission. Several star players from the major J leagues are said to be anxious to cast their lot with the new organization and developments along these lines are ex pected. Managers for the Baltimore, Pitts burgh. Buffalo. Cleveland and St. Louis ; teams, which have not yet been an nounced by the owners of those teams, j will probably be named today. Rivers and Dundee Matched. NEW ORLEANS, November It was announced today that Johnnie Dun dee of Xe\.'

DES MOINES, Iowa, November IS).? William Dwyer, manager of the Des Moines Western League team when it gained the championship in 100ft, died at Waterbury,. Conn., early yesterday, ac cording to a message received here. Tu berculosis was given as the cause ol' death. * /~i /-NT CHANGE IN SIZE OF VjULr HOLE SUGGESTED From time to time ever since golf has existed there have sprung up agitations or rather suggestions from poor putters that the size of the golf hole shoultj be enlarged from four and a quarter inches to four and a half, to five and even six ipenes. Of course, such a change would be suicidal to the chief interest in the game between real golfers, for ljiost important matches between players of the same class usually turn on, the question of which of the tw.o players is the best putter. This was notably, so in the victory Walter J. Travis achieved in the British championship, which hs won ill 1004. Many ot the players were long- ( er from the tee, and through the green, | but Travis putted throughout up to a standard probably never equaled before. As a matter of fact it probably was due to practice on holes one-third smaller than the regulation size that has helped Mrs Travis and others to look upon the regular cups as easy when they get uut in a match. The size of* all things is I relative. If golfers practiced on holes of I four and one-quarter inches and played | ?i'. e with holes or the course i< woulJ seem an easy trick to hole long ami ^ho"t ones. Contrary to this line of thought the I following from the Liverpool Courier may i prove interesting: " ; * have lately become a convert to t ne theory which has been brought for ward m certain quarters that too great GOLF AT LAKEWOOD.

November 2.).?Favorites ! sui\i\ed the llrst and second rounds of match play in the annual fall golf (our- i namerit of the Country Club -of l.ake-i wood yesterday when Walter J. Travis j of Garden City and Max R. Marston of j Baitusrol won. both the contests in which i they were engaged Travis had little difficulty in tirst uis- j posing of the aspirations of Harold A. j Ste'ner, the champion of the In wood and i Hollywood clubs, 4 and il. and then the 1 veteran put out C. T. Richardson of ! the home club with even greater ease, j the score being t? and 1. Travis always i had liis test match well in hand, rn { fact, the Garden City man stood 4 up ! at the turn and was never in danger. Marston's first opponent was Garfield ! Scott of Philadelphia, and the last named gave his man a few uncomfortable mo- I ments. It was. a nip-and-tuck race to j the* turn, all holes but two being halved, ; and each won one of these, so the con- i test was level. On the tenth and eleventh, both short. Marstou failed to ! get the greens on his tee shots, and j needed four for each hole. Scott, on the i other hand, got pat*' threes, and became two up. The Philadelphia!!, however, j could not keep up the pace and the in- j terscholastic title holder annexed four ] cut of the remaining five holes, and the match, l?y 2 and 1. ! J-ater in the day Mats-ton eucountered j F. C. Jennings of Nassau and eliminat- j ed him by a 2 and 1 margin. They were [ even at the turn, and .stood that way at the sixteenth, where Marston took i the lead through Jennings missing a t short putt. Another of these at the next i cost the Xassau man the hole and the I match was over. Notre Dame Plays It Safe. NOTRE DAME.

Meeting of National League. NEW YORK, November 2!).?President Lynch of the National League of Pro fessional Base Ball Clubs has sent no tices to all presidents of league clubs that the annual meeting of the league would be held in thin city Tuesday, De cember 0, ;tl 2 p.m. A meeting of the bouid of directors will be convened at noon of the same day. a premium is placed upon putting, and that some kind of remedy is necessary to make putting easier. My idea is that the hole at present is too small and should be one-quarter or one-half inch larger. "From a missed drive, brassey. or iron a recovery is always possible, but a missed putt is absolutely fatal. If the i size of the hole was made larger it would I reduce the advantage of a good putter | to a certain extent. It happens over and [over again that one player will complete i ly outplay another at one hole light up ! to the green, yet will only halve 01 per | haps even lose the hole by reason of a I long putt on the one hand or a bad putt Ion the other. The only skill on the putt ling green, to my mind comes with the negotiation of a 'curly' putt or of a stymie. "The great test in goif seems to me the delicate pitch, the pitch and run. an 1 run up, and all the niceties of the game which are wanted when using the cleek, heavy iron and light iron for a multitude ' of strokes. Again, the man who can hook and slic? of the tee at will, and to whom a cupped or liangin? lie or a [ gale of wind have no terrora when using the brussey. is he who can truthfully be I termed a golfer. Hut the man who rrlieg | entirely for his success on his work on ti;e greens 1 decline to regard as en titled to equality with ths man who is his superior in all other departments i of the game. I commend this id?a to 1 the serious consideration of golfers gen ; erally. and I am certain they will come ! to agree with me that a better test of the game would be provided if putting was j eaisier."

Cleveland led until the ninth by a score | of 3 to 0, but the Phillies made four runs in the last round and won out.

" 'Mighty good garte up to the ninth inning.' " 'How's that?" " 'Well, it was this way: Our boys had three runs when the ninth inning begun. Then Mister Dick Cooley he came to bat. Now, you know, Mister Cooley is a good ? hunter. Well, he just bunted and he beat Old Chief's throw to first. Then Mister Tommy Dowd he zipped one between first and second, and Mister Cooley he ran to third and Mister Dowd lie reached second. 'Then / looked down toward the Phil lies bench and there was Mister Nap Lajoie, Mister Kd Delehanty and Mister Sam Thompson all swinging their bats and coming toward the plate.' " 'Well, what then?'

"FATHER BILL" DALY j PUTS OVER GOLLIWOGG Veteran Trainer and Owner Finahy Lands a Purse at 1 Jamestown Track. . i j NORFOLK, Va.. November The j ; veteran rider Jimmy Butwell liad a l>!g ' day at Jamestown yesterday afternoon, j when he carried-off half the card. But-! well's work was about the only feature j j of the racing, which was of a mediocre variety. His winners were Mordecai. Royal Meteor and Jabot. However, all : Butwell had to do on Royai -Meteor was to fit still, as the entry of Phil If yams ! outclassed his field i?i the fourth ew.it. at a mile and seventy yard*, in which he j was the odds-on-choice at 3 to 5. Royal i Meteor won in a gallop after racing to i the front shortly after the break. Arran. j a 15-to-l shot, made a determined bid at i i the head of the stretch, but he could ? ! never get to the winner. Merry Lad. an- i , other outsider, close up at all stages, j j was third. ? Father Bill Daily's colors were borne to 1 ; victory in the third race, a handicap ' I selling affair, at six furlongs. Daddy < ! Gsp was a heavily played choice, but iic < i could never keep up in the pace that! i Golliwog ret from the rise of the bar-' j rle-r. Golliwogg was at 5 to 1 and was ; the mi dium of a smart volume of play, | [ as was Anavri. who finished second. This , race, wit hthe fifth one. another sellir.g | , event, was the main attraction. Duquesne i was much the best in the Ifth, .winning ! j handily from Spellbound and Utile Eng land. Blackford was the choice, but his : performance was most disappointing. The heaviest backed winner was Buzz j Around in the opening contest. Jabot. | in the last argument, at a mile and sev- j j enty yards, too, was played with utmost ? confidence by a wise coterie of specu ! lators.

With an elbow joint of silver and chilled steel, a little pet monkey in San Francisco is proving by his ability that the artificial union is a success. He is demonstrating what is likely to prove a tremendous discovery in surgery?that_ ankylosed joints (hardened and stiffened j by disease) can be replaced by an : operation that is not necessarily costly or dangerous. The same sort of opera tion has hem performed with eqjai success upon a pet dog, and in this case the hind leg of the animal was provid ed with a Joint of metal, which appears to be as satisfactory for the possessor as the one provided by nature. In the near future it is planned to provide a human be tig with this style of steel j and-sUver joint, and the perfecting of ? this device will restore to usefulness many people who have become absolute t ly lielpness by reason of accident or dis ; ?-ase. There are various eaust-s for this : complete or partial rigidity of the joints. ' such as rheumatism, gout and tubercu | losis, and in extreme cases it has been ? necessary to break a joint about which orseous material had deposited. Of course, it is only in extreme cases, and uftfM- other methods fail, that It should be necessary to perform this operation of removing the natural joint and replac ing it with metal. In the operations ut-on animals it was found that when the tendons were extended properly the muscles did their work as perfectly as in a normal limb, and the joints re sponded with the readiness of natural ones. The bones are capped with sockets, which are of silver, and these are joined to a joint of steel. The inventor of this remarkable joint is a leading j San Francisco surgeon. I ?r. Milton Fran-j cis Clark, whose experience among crip- j id.'d workmen in a railroad hospital IhI hint to search for this method of relief. Simply p. Price-Hark. from ttic Newark, Ark., Journal.
