May Meet on Grid Next Fall HOPES TO PLUG HOLE <'BY TRADE Pilot Believes if . Pitchers - Deliver AT CHICAGO Nationals Are Well Fortified as Expected—Has Only Faint Hope of Landing Eaker. BY DENMAN EALIZING that the acquisition Nationals probably will mean ‘THOMPSON. i of a capable third bas\'man by the the difference between \a contender and a second division berth in theé next American League race, Clark Griffith today will entrain for Chicago prepared to swa) players, spend real money, or both, to plug the gaping hole in the defensiwe armor of the club. The capital chief tain is called westward for 2 seriess of conferences looking to the re-establishment of the game in the é&steem of the fans. He will enter heartily into the task of evelving measures to safeguard its future, but his principal concern will be to bridge' th¢ yawning chasm at the far corner in Aside from this one aching void Griffith believes he has a pretty fair combination already lined up for this year—provided his pitchers come up 10 expectations—and he has reasons for believing they will. The catching staff, with the addition of Tony Brot- tem, whom Griff is confident Will be awarded Washington along with Out- flelder Bing Miller of the Little Rock club, will be headed by the indefatig- able and acourate-pegging Pat Ghar- rity, with Val Picinich and Ricardo Torres to back him up. : For the outfleld, aside from Miller, Ciyde Milan, Duffy Lewis and the brilliant Sam Rice will be available. The latter is a star of the highest rank, with Milan and Lewis still steady and dependable despite their advancing years. Pitching Staft Not Bad. Topped by a rejuvenated Johnson and a physically fit Shaw the mound corps, including Zachary and Courtney for lefthanders, and Erickson, Acosta, Snyder and Schacht, with~ Fisher, Shirey and other newcomers battling for berths, sizes up as a formidable staff. = Only Sisler can be rated ahead of Judge at the initial station, although admirers of McInnis may feel inclined to argue the question, and Eddie Col- lins alone has anything on Harris for all ‘round effectiveness at second. Grift is confident that the problem of finding a real. honest-to-goodness shortstop has been solved by landing Frank O'Rourke from Toronto of lhe‘ International League. O'Rourke is a| sure-enough ball player, who can hit | as well as field. His aggressiveness makes for snappy team work with the peppery Harris around the keystone sack, and, like Stan, is capdble of using his skull piece for something be- sides a hatrack. The only flaw ob- servable in O'Rourke’s work with the Nationals last season was a kink in the arm which made him appear awkward in throwing, and he reports that a visit to Bonesetter Reese has eliminated that. But the third basing assignment con- tinues to baffle. Fred Thomj can't hit. Ellerbe has indicated prémise of developing into a consistent hitter. ‘but leaves much to be desired in a fielding way, and his headless base- running proved disastrous to the suc- cess of the team on innumerable oc- casions. Howard Shanks can fill the bill in - fairly acceptable style, but Hank is no demon with the bludgeon. His mission properly is that of utility service, being capable of acceptably filling any post, either on the infield or in the garden. Brewer May Sub, Teo. Emergency duties probably also ‘will be the lot of Frank Brower, un- lets the former International slugger improves mightily in fly- chasing prowess or surprises every- body by making good in the chance GPHfY says he is to be given to demon- strate his ability as a pitcher. Judge’s ‘well known susceptibility to injury makes it almost essential to have an understudy of Brower's qualifications hanging around. Frank can take care of; the initial sack in a pinch.

Paw Good Ones in League. » Gril is up against a tough proposi- tion in his quest for a third baseman for the simple reason that there are mighty few polished infielders of this ion in the circuit. He will try to develop one, of course, but that re- quires time, and what he wants is an athlete capable of jumping in there and_delivering the goods this year. Detroit and Chicago face ‘werri their own on this score. There is_mno chance of any one| ‘wheedling Larry Gardner away from the champion Indians, and Connie Mack has turned down some flattering ofters for the temperamental Joe Dugan, who, he has announced, will play with the A thletics or nowhere. Oscar Vitt of the Red Sox, although slowing up, might do for a brief riod, but Griff is not on the best of n‘ml with Owner Frazee and prob- ly would encounter difficulties in ing with him. As for the Yankees, ill is a debatable question who will cover the bag for them. Meusel failed to ‘shine at the task last sea- son, and it may be necessary with Pratt _gone to place Fewster at sec- ond, leaving only Ward for the far corner. This brings in the question of Frank Baker. ees. He retired voluntarily, and is little question that Huggins would be glad to make use of him himself if J. Franklin could be in- duced to come back. If Baker ob- ected only to playing in New York there is no_doubt that Owners Rup- pert and Huston would arrange to turn him over to their friend, Comis- key, but this apparently is ‘not the case, Baker having announced he was| tired of the game and wished merely to retire to his well stocked acres at Trappe, Md. Griff Sees Little Hope. Grifith frankly @dmits he would Jump at the chance to obtain Baker, but in the same breath confesses he sees little hope of getting him. If the Yankees were willing to trade him they probably would insist on obtaining either Rice or Judge in ex- change, and this, of course, would end negdtiations instanter.

SOUTHERN DATES- LISTED. NASHVILLE, Tenn., January 8.—The schedule committee of the Southern Association met here today and draft- ed a tentative schedule, which calls for 154 games. The season will open April 13 and close September 17. The committee refused to give out any de- tails of the proposed schedule. Spencer Abbott of Topeka, Kan., former American Association player and last season manager and part owner of the Tulsa club of the West- ern Association, has been appointed manager of the Memphis team. CONFERENCES OCCUPY BASE BALL MAGNATES HICAGO, January 8—Numerous conferences.between base ball club owners and managers-who are gathering here for the three meetings next week when the major and the minor leagues will attempt to reach an agreement under which both will operate, today kept the air filled with rumors concerning action which might be taken when the sessions open, but the only official action was the opening of League | the major league schedule committee meeting. - C ‘While no official announcement con- cerning the work of this committee was made, it was said that the two leagues virtually had agreed to open their playing seasons on Wednesday, April 13, and to play the usual season of 154 games. The committe, con- sisting of President Ban Johnson of ..o American League, Willlam Har- ridge, his secretary; President John Heydier of the National League and Barney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburgh club, did not expect to-finish its work before Monday. Schedule of Meetings. Most of the magnates who reached here today were representatives of minor leagues, the major league club owners not being expected before to- morrow or Monday, as their meetings will not begin uantil Tuesday. The minors meet Monday. The will hold separate meetings Tues- day, and Wednesday representatives of all leagues in organized bese ball will hold a joint meeting to act on plans for the government base ball which have been decided on by the different organizations in the Monday and Tue sessions.

C the strength of the teams. The usual style of game put up by teams coached by Fred Rice was played by C. U., wide open passing game, with almost entire attention devoted to of- fense. Their passing game worked the ball under the basket often enough to count many more than they did, but time after time the easiest kind of tosses were missed. Lynch an Accurate Shot. McNamara at-forward and Lynch at guard were the main scorers for C. U. The former tossed the ball through the basket five times, while the latter, play- ing the running guard position, shot six goals from the field. Lynch also show- ed decided accuracy in making baskets from the fouf line, dropping the ball through ten times out of thirteen at- tempts. Gléason’s play at guard for C. U: was the best exhibition of defensive work on the floor. The little fellow seemed to be everywhere, &t least everywhere the ball was, and the way he broke up plays was a caution to his opponents to try to keep the ball away from him, which did not appear possible. - / Porter, who took Hanson’s place at forward, did the most accurate shoo! ing for St. John's. He made three goals from the floor and played a good floor game. Ridgely, who started the game at guard for St. John’s, was exceptionally good on defense, but was not able to stand up under the strain longer than the first half, owing to an injury received last fall on the gridiron. - St. John's was playing its first game, while . was in its fifth.

An authority at Georgetown stated last night that it was intended to go even farther than this and adopt the freshman rale within the next two or three years. As soon as that is done the Blue and Gray will have the full one-year residence rule. Georgetown's attitude at present is to do away with all things connected with _its ‘athletic system that have tended to raise objections from other institutions, and the adoption of the migratory rule is the first step In its #lan to develop close relationship with certain schools with which it is not Gambling on Varsity Games. L Gambling on college foot ball games in some sections has grown to almost unbelievable proportions. And while betting by students is carried on to a great extent, it is thought that pro- fessional gambling is the greater of the two parts of the evil. Something of the magnitude of betting on some collegiate contests may be realized when it is stated that the coach.of a certain eleven told the writer last fall that on one of the games in which his team participated some- thing more than $72,000 was wagered. That -coach said that he saw and talked with two students in their ;'(Dms tlh.t n[gl‘!ll. after the game and new that each of the studeni more than $2,000. e In one section of the south last sea- son professional gamblers ~jumped from town to town for no other pur- pose than to be present at games at which they thought they had the best opportunity to “clean up. the most coin,”* to use the expression of the man who'was_telling of the practice. Also it is said that the management of one school has been much bothéred by offers of professional gamblers to back the team and put out a winner. 80 _that they could reap better profits —DProbably we should apologize to the English language for using the word profits in this sense. Happily, these conditions are not widespread, and that they have been confined mostly to limited areas is all the more reason why college authorities are working to prevent their spread. = Coaches Are Concerned. Coaches particularly are concerned about betting on games. Nothing so tends to put a coach “in wrong” than to have the students and alumni lay big sums of cash on the issue of cer- tain games.
