BIG LEAGUE WAR CLOUD , HANG LOW AS MAGNATES DEBATE OVER DIFFERENCES IN CHICAGO
NO AGREEMENT
DEVELOPED AT
EARLY SESSION
Heydler and Johnson Factions
Threaten to Stand on
Original Proposals.
BASEBALL BEE BUSY
War Clouds Break as
Magnates Get Together
CHICAGO, Not. B.—The first move for
the National and American League clubs
to get together on a plan for rvorgani
zation of baseball was made shortly after
noon here today.
Five clubs, loyal to Ban Johns-on, head
of the American League, were represent
'd at the meeting of that organization in
the Congress Hotel. The other three
Amen an League club representat ves at
tended the meeting of the National
League in another room of the Congress
Hotel.
As soon as the National League meet
ing got under, way a message was sent
to Ban Johnson asking the five American
League clubs which have not indorsed
the Lasker plan for reorganization to
send a representative to the meeting of
the National League.
Clark Griffith, one of the “loyal five,”
went to the National League meeting.
Griffith was In the National League
meeting about fifteen minutes. When be
came out he was accompanied by Col.
Jacob Ruppert of the New York Yan
kees, one of the “insurgent” American
League club owners. Ruppert and
Griffith walked arm in arm to the meet
ing of the “loyal five.” Neither would
make a statement,
CHICAGO, Nov. B.—National and
American League club owners in annual
meetings here today were to make a final
attempt to dovetail their plaU9 for re
organization of baseball.
Sessions of the two leagues scheduled
had as objectives plans to merge and
formulate a definite program for sub
mission to minor leagues in Kansas City
tomorrow, if hopes of both factions ma
terialize. There was no sign of a rift
in either side early today, however, and
talk of a baseball war was revived with
fervor.
The threat of organization of a twelve
club league will be carried through to
day, National League Interests an
nounced, unless Ban Johnson, president
of the American League, and the Wash
ington. Detroit, St. Louis. Philadelphia
and Cleveland clubs consent to join
their meeting.
HEYDLER AGAINST *
HACK PADDLING.
“The door of the meeting will stand
open for one or all of them to enter," ;
John Heydler, president of the National
League, explained, “but we will make
no further proffers of peace.
“We are willing to make concessions
to avert a disastrous baseball war—we
don't want war and we know the public
doesn't—but we can’t back paddle. We
will gladly receive a .committee from
them and consider any counter proposal
or suggestions they have. We all agree
that baseball should be reorganized and
there should be some way to get to
gether."
Others were not hopeful of a com
promise following a night of conference
with Clark Griffith and Tom Sbibe of
the "loyal five’’ American Leagues.
Griffith took the same position John
son has set—that the five clubs
constitute the American League and
should not agree to decisions of the New
York. Boston and Chicago clubs. He
declared the reorganization proposes to
oust Ban Johnson and fiatly stated ha
would not participate.
TOMMY STILL
OPPOSES PLAN.
Charles A. Comiskey, owner of the Chi
cago White Soy. it was reported today,
declared he would not be a part of the
American League as long as Johnson
continued as its head.
Johnson, before the American League
session, reiterated the demand that_ a
committee representing American, Na
tional and minor league interests ar
range details of reorganization. He con
tended the Lasker plan was not prac
tical. but refused to predict what action
his league would take toward averting
war or fighting a twelve-club league.
Both the factions declared they would
offer reorganization plans to the minor
league meeting in Kansas City if they
failed to agree on a combination of ideas.
Mi.i r learners on th<> side lines watch
ing the scrimmage today were divided.
START NEW (LIBS,
SAYS GRIPIITH.
Following conferences with other
“loyal” American League magnates,
Clark Griffith, owner of the American
League Club in Washington, said in case
there is a baseball war and anew or
ganization of twelve club* Is formed, the
American League will start three new
clubs. These he said will be placed In
Chicago, Boston and New York, where
the American League clubs which have
favored reorganization are located.
Griffith said promoters for the three
new clubs had been obtained and suf
ficient money was in sight to insure suc
cess.
The American League meeting was
postponed until late in the day to give
Jacob liupper a chance to attend. Ban
Johnson and his followers didn't have
much hope that Rupper was to be pres
ent at th-dr meeting, but they wanted
give him a chance, informal confer
ences between Johnson, Griffith and
others were held during the morning.
The Congress Hotel management, with
nn eye to safety of furniture, arranged
for the two big league meetings to be
held In extreme ends of the building, one
on tbe first floor and the other on the
top floor.

EQUAL RIGHTS
REMAINS GOAL
. OF THE MINORS
‘Little Fellows’ to Insist on
Representation on New
Baseball Ruling Board.
LASKER PLAN IS OPPOSED
By JACK VEIOCK.
International New* Sports Editor.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. B.—Wit., the
Lasker plan a dead issue among theU’Lit
tle fellows,” delegates began arriving to
day for the annual convention of the
I National Association of Minor Leagues,
with the avowed purpose of fighting for
representation on baseball’s highest tri
bunal.
The minors, whose meeting openß to
morrow afternoon, are unprepared to en
tertain visiting major moguls, but will
bold out a welcoming band should the
“big fellows” come to Kansas City.
One thing was certain on the eve of
the minors’ meeting and that was their
desire for representation on the National
Baseball Commission. No plan carrying
this concession to the minors will be
adopted nor will the minors throw their
support to either faction In the Heydier
•Tohnson dispute without it. An over
whelming majority of the minors oppose
the Lasker plan or any other plan cre
ating an independent tribunal, for base
ball's control.
SEE THEIR BEST
CHANCE IN YEARS.
For the first time in twenty years the
“little"follows” have an opportunity for
an equal voice In the management of
baseball and' they will fight to the last
ditch before accepting any compromise
which eliminates minor league represen
tation.
i lie plan which will find most sup
porters among the minors Is the con
tinuation of the present national baseball
commission, with the appointment of a
minor league representative to fill the
: vacancy created by Garry Herrmanu s
! resignation. Tbe Lasker plan is tabooed,
i for the minors want practical baseball
men in control, with one of their own
number named for a position on the
triumvirate.
The minors have named four candidates
for the national commission, any one
of whom would be acceptable to the
“little fellows.” These are Michael X.
Sexton, president of the National Associa
tion of Minor Leagues; David H. Full*,
president of the International League and
former president of the players fratern
ity; Al Tierney, president of the western
and Three-I circuits, and J. Cal Ewing,
president of the Pacific Coast League.
If the majors adjourn t'.cir Chicago
I meeting to coino to Kansas City, the
i draft law may prove to be the main topic
for discussion, Th* minors ultimatum on
this subject is a $5,000 draft price, with
the majors limited to Class AA leagues.
This Is double the price last In enect.
The minors have continued the urart
w Whin their own organizations and rar>'d
I well. They sre Just as willing to con
tinue without major league participation
; as with it.
DRAFT LAW MAY
EE CHANGED. , .
If the maters meet th new price nnn
anew working agreement is Mtoptea
. between major* and minors, the little
fellows" will boost draft prices between
1 leagues within their own rsnks. lor
! example. th *1,500 price existing now
I for trie drafting of Class A players by
Class AA clubs probably would be raised
to *”500 and so on down the line.
Another subject due for lengthy con
! slderatlon and In which "war cloud*
loom ominously Is a minor league offen
sive against the tudustrial "outlaws. ’
Scores of clubs lost valuable players tc
the Industrial league at the beginning
of last season, particularly the Western
and International Leagues Tbe minors
i have not forgotten and will adopt stern
j • reprisal" measures against tbe indus
trials.
On the whole, the atmosphere of to
morrow’s meeting will be a “mind our
own business” attitude by the minor*.
If the majors come to Kansas City
there will be excitement, with the minors
holding tbs trump.

In tbe history of the schoolAwere the
two teams more evenly maWied, and
never before has the rivalry excelled
that which is now being exhibited at

Manual alumni and former athletes
have scheduled a get-to-gether meeting
for Wednesday at the high school build
ing and Shortrldge old-timers are ex
pected to do likewise sometime this week.
The exhibition put up by Noblesville
against Tech Friday was one of the
poorest ever seen in this city. The crowd
will always back a team that fights, no
mutter how bad It is beaten, but No
blesville didn’t fight. The visiting eleven
seemed to enjoy the Tech touchdowns al
most as much as the Tech players them

Triple Tie Possible in

CHICAGO, Nov. B.—A triple tie for

If Wiooin, which boasts one of

and Chicago the week following, it
will finish the season with only one
defeat. If Illinois wins from Ohio
Nov. tt, each of these teams likewise
would have a record of one defeat,

His loss will be badly felt on the foot
