%" *SP ORTS.’ THE EVENING STAE, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1922. ™ SPORTS/ Rommel’s Appeal, to Judge Landis Stirs Base Ball : Penn’s Consistency on Court Puzzles SALARY DISPUTE RULING WILL SET A PRECEDENT . BY DENMAN club and player and a striking thority vested in Judge Landis ay be expected as a result of disag onnic Mack and Ed Rommel. pitchers, in refusing to accept the ter hger and part owner of the Philadelp ry procedure. Rommel has the distinction of be- ng the first player to make an appeal pver salary to the governing head of e game.” Under the regime exist- ng prior to the election of Landis as jsupreme authority players had no ich recourse, the old national com- fmission invariably declining to in- erfere. In this instance there are those well versed in the lore of the :ame—notably President Heydler of e National league—who believe ndis will not entertain the appeal on the ground that it is out'of his furisdiction, and there are others— jincluding Col. Huston, part owner of he Yankees—who contend the com- jmissioner not only has the power to ct, but that it is obligatory for him o do so. Contract Supports Huston. From section 8 of the approved orm of contract it would seem Hus- ton’s opinion is well founded. It reads: In case of dispute between the [player and the club or any assignee lhereof the same shall be referred to the national board or the commis- sioner, as the case may be, as an lumpire, and the decision shall be ac- cepted by all parties as final.’ In addition to section 8, division D of section 2 of article 1 of the major league agreement, which de- fines the duties of the commissioner, stipulates -that one of the functions of the judge shall be “to hear and to determine finally any dispute to 'which a player is party, or any dis- [pute concerning a player, which may be certified to him by either or any of_the disputants.” Mack's contention is not that Rom- mel’'s work of last season was un- satisfactory and that an increase in salary therefore is unmerited, but that the 1921 receipts of the club do not justify the board of directors of- fering Rommel more than the terms in the contract the pitcher rejected. The player’s attitude simply is that he should not be compelled to work in a major league for a minor league salary. ‘What Heydler Contends. According to President Heydler, the term “dispute” in the contract cannot properly be construed as including an argument over salary. “I believe udge Landis will rule that the mat- ter of financial terms is one entirely [between the club and the player, [Heydler savs. “Of conren the ind~al Imay hold that it is a question for his decision, but as 1 see .. .. R all for action by the com er.’ Huston, on the other hand, views: the question in this light: “The big- [gest form of dispute between player land club is that over salaries. There is no doubt in my mind that section 8 in the contract form covers just such |]a case as Mack and Rommel have lopened and that the judge is called on_to act.” Regardless of his legal interpreta- tion of the clauses governing this case, it is assured Judge Landis will not welcome the necessity of having to pass on it. The minor leaguers 'who have been opposed to restoration lof the draft, so firmly advocated by the commissioner, may be expected to inquire: “You want the minor leaguers to advance, what about a major leaguer advancing? How long should an eighth-place club hold a player! who merits neere money and fame than it can afford to pay him? Frank Brower is the latest of the tionals to accept terms for the com- ing season, the ex-Reading slugger having signed a_contract yesterday ening. Today Brower is in George ‘Washington University Hospital hav- ing his tonsils amputated. Brower says he is in fine shape, except for the condition of his throat, and expects to make a battle for a regular berth in the outfleld this year. Jim Shaw is reported to be balking over his sale to Seattle and is said to be considering a berth with some semi-pro team in the vicinity of Pittsburgh, his former home. Whether or not Shaw kicks over the traces the Washington <lub will not be affected. The pitch- er's sale to the Coast Leaguers was an outright transaction. Any possi- ble worrying will have to be done by the Seattle folk. The_transfer, just announced, of Sam Crane from Cincinnati to Brook- 1yn elicits a chorus of chortles from | the direction of Baltimore. Under the circumstances this bit of gloating on the part of an Oriole scribe is readily understandable: “Manager Jack Dunn of the Orioles | again has a chance to sing ‘Oh, What | a Pal Was Griffith’ The local boss | got Jack Bentley, Alva Williams and | Turney Barber for Shortstop Sam | Crane in a trade witn the Washington | magnate some years back. Later Bar- | ber went to the Cubs for Jacobson and cash, Williams faded from the base ball picture and Bentley is now rated as a fifty-thousand-dollar ath- lete. Crane, after being buffeted about the diamond a few years, was found last season with Cincinnati. That club has just sold him to Brook- iyn for $7,500. Dunn, who has been frequently roasted of iate by Griff be- cause of his stand on the draft, might well inquire, ‘Who's looney now? AMERICAN ASSOCIATION of the American Association met in special session here today to consider i the acceptance of the new draft pro-| posal made by the base ball advisory board. The proposal carries a price of $7.500 for every player drafted from | the organization, an increase of $2,500 over the former price. No advance indication was available regarding the action the club owners would take. President Hickey is said, however, to have agreed with Ban John- son, president of the American League, and President Heydler of the National League, that $7,500 was a fair price. The ¢lub owners have not declared themselves. The. action of the Pacific Coast League in refusing to submit to the draft ‘will be taken into consideration at today’s meeting. The International, the third class A. A. league in or- d base ball, has not voted on the subject, and probably will not take any action until after decision is made by the American Association. Judge Landis, commissioner of base ball, regards restoration of the draft as one of the biggest problems in the game.’ He is a firm advocate of the draft, and has fought for it almost from-the day he bécame commissioner.

The Blue and White, which has a clean slate, leads Tech and Western, tied in the runner-up position, by two games, and all have four games to go. In engagements yesterday Tech barely managed to beat the lighter Easterners, 14 to 11, in the Coliseum, while Western was not im- pressive in its 26-to-15 victory over Business in Central gymnasium. Cen- tral, on past form, should sweep the series. The Tech-Eastern melee early be- came a substitution orgy. With his tedm going poorly, Coach Apple quickly changed the Tech line-up and continued shifting players through- out the action. Coach Guyon of Eastern did not hesitate to counter with substitutions. As a result, twenty boys got into the game. While stubbornly contested, play was not of high order. Tech held the advantage all the way, but never was better than four points in _the lead. House, rear guard, was best of the winning contingent. O'Dea played a good floor game and did all of Eastern’s scoring. Western coutscored Business in every quarter except the final, when the Stenographers made one point more than the Red and White. The Georgetown boys worked their way to a 15-to-5 lead in the first half and) played carelessly in the latter part of the fray. Frisby, Western cen- ter, continued his good performance, however.

EW YORK, January 25.—Joe Benjamin, who has just arrived here from the west coast prepared to train for his coming bout with} Johnny Dundee at the Garden, held court today at his room in an ! uptown hotel. Joe merits all the things that have been said about his{ looks he will soon be the champion The boy is slim and graceful as a reed. He has an olive complexion that contrasts effectively with his fair ir. The one flaw in his looks is a flash of two or three gold teeth when he smile: hey are monuments commemorating the I of natural grinders in past fistic engagements and are the only signs of battle that he wears. Urged to Turn Movie Actor. There was talk from the west coast recently that Doug Fairbanks—who, by the way, s reported to be coming east to sit in Joe's corner in_the Dundee fight—has been urging Benjamin to g0 into the movies, where, according to Doug, he will be a star. Maybe 80. Probably Doug has taken inter- est in the fact that it takes more than good looks to be a film star. Other- ;A'lse. ‘where would Doug have horned n? Anyway, the Pacific coast lightweight says he will not go into the movies or anything else until after he has met Benny Leonard for the champion- ship. In this regard Jack Dempsey's quoted willingness to back Joe for $25,000 against Leonard will be re- called. First, however, it might be well "to_see what happens to him against Dundee. Benjamin went through some punch- ing bag exercises for his visitors and worked well. His action is but with a real sting in every wallop. Of course, though, it is easy to look like a real hitter against a punching bag. However, the truth seems to be that Joe can hit fairly hard and is certainly hard to hit. t was noted in his bout against the Durable Dane. Dundee, the junior lightweight champion, will be sure to show how much license Benjamin has to get into the ring with Leonard. ike MeTigue is paging Harry Greb.

Layton, who first became prominent at the three-cushion game two years tgo, when he won the title, formerly was a pocket billiard player of note. At one time he appeared here in ex- hibitions with the famous Taberski. Last year Layton lost his title to Augie Kieckhefer, but challenged the latter and regained the crown in the subsequent match. Alfre¢ DeOro, anxious to resume his high position in the billiard world, is seeking a match with Layton and probably will be accommodated. SETS CUE TOURNEY MARK.

St. Joseph’s of Philadelphia was unable to give Georgetown any kind of a battle in the opening game at Ryan gymnasium early this month, and on the same floor last night the St. Francis aggregation was an_easier proposition. The Hilltoppers romped to a 48-to-10 count for their third victory in three starts this winter. The Pennsylvanians, outclassed in every position, were able to register but two fleld goals, one being made by Forward Donnally in each half. This same player also shot six foul goals in nine efforts, thereby total- ing all the points for the visitors. Georgetown opened play with Flor- ence and Flavin at forwards, 0'Con- —By RIPLEY. BY WALTER CAMP. EW YORK, January 25.—With the intercollegiate basket ball season already well under way, the University of Pennsylvania is found occupying a commanding position, with bright prospects for add- ing another championship laurel to its crown, having won the intercol- legiate for three successive times. Penn lost one of its last year’s stars in McNichol, but in Grave it has a foul shooter of excellent quality. No one has been quite able to explain why Penn stands out so promi- nently in basket ball each year. Last year, besides winning the intercol- legiate it defeated the New York University team, which was considered one of the strongest fives in the east. Penn suffered only one defeat, in- flicted by Penn State in an extra period.

As a popular winter sport basket ball has been making rapid strides forward. It really is the best organ- ized and most widely distributed of ell the sports that engage the colleg: and industrial world during the dral days that stretch between the endinz of the foot ball and the opening of the track and base ball season. ‘There i3 a wide difference of opinion as to its value as a_conditioner of men. The criticism has been made that basket ball, instead of improv- ing a man’s general condition, rather lowers his tone and vitality, owing to olose and confined air of gymnasiums in which most games are played. This contention is not borne out by the records. The game has been found to keep the men in good condition muscularly and to make them quick. Tt has been found to be a distinct aid to foot ball men in making them mor« proficient in passing and handling thc ball.
