8 SP Base Ball War in New York Looming; G. W. U. Schedules Nine Foo ORTS. GIANTS AND YANKS CLASH - OVER SUNDAY CONTESTS National League Club Wants as Many Sabbath Dates as Possible, While American Leaguers Insist There Be No Conflicting Games. N tees of the two major leagues meet for the 1923 season. EW YORK, January 6.—Metropolitan baseballdom is holding it} ears waiting for the sound of the boom of guns that some say will echo from the Jersey shore today when the schedule commit- at Atlantic City to fix playing dates Signs of war were visible early today at the local headquarters of the Giants and Yankees, whose respective owners flashed the usual pre- battie communiques last night, minus diplomatic verbiage. The Giants, in a telegram to President John A. Heydler of the National League, insisted on Sunday dates conflicting with the Yankees here, and the Yankees wired to President Ban Johnson of the American League, urging him to fight “till it hurt” to stop such a conflict. President Charles A. Stoneham of the Giants asserted in_ his telegram that the 10.000.000 people of the met- ropolitan district would support two major Sunday games, and that the ants needed the support to gather in §100,000 they would lose through the Yankees building a new stadium and ceasing to pay rent for the Polo Grounds. Whan Col. R. L. Huston, who an- nounced yestérday his return to base ball ownership, saw the telegram he filed one to President Johnson, ac- cusing the Giant ownership of being “mercenary” and of jeopardizing the Sunday game in New York city. The ban against playing here on the Sabbath has been lifted only in re- cent years. Do Not Fear Competition. Col. Huston asserted the Yankees had greatly outdrawn the Glants in New York and that they did not fear the competition toneham's reasons,” Huston sald in his telegram, “were entirely mer- cenary. The only business reason possible for the Giants to advance after having peremptorily ordered us off the Polo Grounds was to secure these extru Sundays, which would compensate them for the loss of the rent the Yankees were paylug them. “If we permit them to secure this money. we acknowledge that our league will again confess to its fee- bleness, against which the construc- tion of the new Yankee stadium is supposed to fortify us.” MICHIGAN-ONTARIO NOW AN EIGHT CLUB CIRCUIT FLINT, Mich, January 6.—Reor- nization of the Michigan-Ontario League, to include Hamilton and Lon- don, Ont, and Saginaw, Muskegon, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Flint and Bay_City, Mich, has been consum- mated. Thomas J. Halligan of Flint will head the circuit. The directors voted to adopt a “split season.” The first half be- ginning May 1 and ending July 1, and the second half starting July 3 and ending September 9. A post-season series will decide the championship. A general admission charge of 60 cents and a $1,500 forfeit were adopted. JIMMY O'NEILL REINSTATED. CHICAGO, January 6.—James O'Neill of the Washington Americans, who had been on the voluntary retired list because of illness, has been reinstated by Commissioner Landis. He will lay with the Reading club of the nternational League, to which he had beeri sold. Down the Alleys A big time I8 carded for Monday night at the Recreation alleys. It has been designated as < Western Union night, and the clubs of that league will be marshaled by Presi- dent Dunham for numerous matches. It is the second annual affair of the organization and will be marked by & match between the Western Union girls of the Washington Ladles' League and a picked team of men from the W. U. circuit, those having the best percentage to be the favor- ed ones. Last year the men won two out of three games, but had a margin of only one on total pins. This year the girls have shown marked _ improvement, having won twenty-four out of thirty-six starts. The team i{s made up of the Fren- zel sisters, Catherlne Watts, Grace Becker, Marjorle Bradt and Ruth Bitting, the last named being the cap- tain. The men's team will be cap- tained by Chlef Operator Dexter, who is the official cheer leader of the Western Unfon League, and Dave Crockett, Sweeney, Limerick and Ryder. General Supt. Taff and Manager Foote of the local office have signi- fled their intention of being present. Terminal Ice of the District League stepped on the gas last night and won all three games from the Goodfellows. The defeated team failed to get a 500 game, while the Icemen were smash- ing the pins for 519, 541 and 533. McCarthy and Works were tied with the high set, 343, while the former had the best’ game, 128.

McGRAW, Manager New York Giants, Three Times World Champions. ] (Relessed Exclusively Through the North American Newspaper Alliasocs.) !The New . Play That Ruined the Yanks Game. ATE in the season we dis- L covered a new way—at least a surprising way—of breaking up an advance around the bases on a-safe hit. None but a smart, an ac- curate player could work this play, but we had a man almost perfectly equipped to carry it out—Dave Ban- croft. We used the play but little, so that it coyld be a surprise in the big series. And it was a surprise. When there is 2 runner on first or second and the succeeding batter follows with a clean hit the chances are that the runner will score from second, the man on first will go to third and the batter to second. Just the same ‘the outfielder, nine times out of ten, makes an attempt to get the man at the plate. When it is seen that the throw will not get the runner at the plate the pitcher generally intercepts the throw and tries to make a play at one of the bases. That play has been made so FIZZLE OF HUSTON DEAL NEW YORK, January 6.—Col.

EXPLAINED BY RUPPERT the New York American League base ball club held by his partner; Col. T. L.

Now, if the hit scores & man from second, with the tying run, the team that allows the batter to take second on the throw to the plate is in grave | danger. Another hit may win the game. Our plan was for the outflelder to throw the ball directly to Bancroft in his regular position; he would turn around and whip the ball to gecond. If it got the runner coming down from first—the man who had hit the ball—the rally was broken up. And, even to our surprise, this play worked every time we tried it. On three occa- sions the Yank batter ran headlong into the trap. Play Saved the Gai In the last game, if you will re- | member, Bob Meusel hit a beautiful single into the outfield, scoring a runner.

That play saved the game for us. In the last Inning of the game we pulled exactly the same play on so experienced a veteran as Wally Schang.

After seeing Meusel caught that way we really did not expect that | Schang would fall for the same trick. But he did. And by being thus caught Meusel and Schang cost the Yanks that game. Upset Base Ball Habit. In other words, we fosk advantage tof the 'chance to upset what had be- come a habit in base ball. Many games are won during the season by cross- ing ball players who think in the samp groove all the time. The idea TRENTON’S STELLAR FIVE | SEEKS ENGAGEMENT HERE| RENTON, N.

As to the reason for shifting from ‘waiting a man out” to hitting at the first ball, the answer seems to be obvious. We saw that the first scheme was not working. Naturally we changed our tactics. Following out my suggestion at the start of these memolrs, we located our fault and set about to correct it as quickly as pos- sible. In the figst game I had an idea that Joe Bush might be lacking a little in control. I instructed the batters to walt him out. Let the first one gol by, if necessary, and make him put one over that could be hit on the nose. Orders Change in Tactics. On this plan of action we went along for several Innings. But Bush did not get wild, He was pitching perfectly and we could do nothing with him. Instead of our men profit- ing by waiting, he was continually putting Glant batters in the hole. He saw our plan and was laying the first one squarely over the middle of the plate. Toward the middle of the game I ordered the batters to shift. “Take a crack at anything he puts over” I told them. “Don't wait for anything. If it is in reach, sock it." Luckily, we had called the turn at ex- actly the right minute. In a half inning, it seemed, the whole complex- ion of the game had changed. One after another our batters walked up and took a swing at the first thing that came over the plate. We popped Bush for five hits, if I remember right, and won the game in a single inning. Gives Credit to Players. There appears to have been a dls- position on the part of sporting writ- credit for winning this last series. 1 wish sincerely they had not done this. As I have sald, I did do all the directing, but direction and so-called generalship are of no value whatever it the players do not carry them out. They deserve the credit for delivering the punch. T merely pointed out the weak spots. An army that wins a great battle in the fleld usualiy gets the credit for the fighting—the soldiers, I mean. They shoulud get it. The directing head merely points the way. No gen- eral could win a fight unless the men had the courage and the ability toj deliver the punch. It Is the combina- | tion that counts. A soldier, I believe, can fight much better and with more intensity of immediate purpose if he does not have to bother and worry about the plans. Always Obeyed Orders. At no time and fn no instance dur- ing that serles did the players fail to carry out my instructions to the let- ter. There were no arguments and no discussions as to the advisability of this and that move. I took the en- tire responsibility and they seemed quite willing to let me shoulder what blame might come. If we had lost the series 1 would have lost it—not | thev. Our success can be laid to the | fact, I think, that I had absolute con- fidence in our players and they had a simi’ar confidence in me. 1 could not handle a team that did not have con- fidence in me, and it is a cinch that I would not have a group of players in whom I did not have confidence. All I want to know is that they are honestly trying to do what I tell them. If they haven't the ability it is my fault if I keep them. Never in my life have I blamed or criticized a ballplayer failing in an effort to carry out instructions. Must Take s Chance. Often we send up a pinch_hitter only to have him strike out. That is a chance the manager takes. If it fails he has no right to censure the player. They can't always hit safely. It it were possible for a ball player always to carry out his instructions— even to making the play successfully —then we would have no base ball. Managers could simply sit down In the spring and figure it out with pen- cll_and paper. I have made it a point, as T have said, never to blame a player for fail- ing in a sincere effort to carry out in- structions from the bench, but I also have made it a point to censure a player, even if he won the game, by failing to obey orders. That I regard as necessary for discipline. At first, I had some difficulty in impressing this fdea upon the team. Back in 1905 I fined a player $25 for hitting a home run with two on bases —a wallop that won the game.

I wanted to make sure of his putting the ball down 50 as to advance the two runners.

As he came around the crowd be- gan applauding and he was compelled to take off his cap. Just at that mo- ment he reached the dugout. “That'll cost you just twenty-five,” I sald to him. “Twenty-five? Whatd'yr 2c?” “Didn’'t you have Instructions to bunt that ball?” “Sure, but say, Mac, that one came over there like a balloon.

PENN APPOINTS YOUNG AS FOOT BALL MENTOR PHILADELPHIA, January 6.—Louls A. Young, captain of the University of Pennsylvania team in 1913 and former end and backfield player, has been ap- pointed head coach of the Red und Blue team, succeeding John W. Hels- man. Young's home is in Glenside, Pa. No assistants have been selected. Young will be given his choice in this matter, subject to the approval of the committee. It was intimated that Dr. Charles M. Wharton may succeed Lieut. Harold E. Gaston as line coach. Tom Davies will not return next year to help the backfield men. In 1911 Young played end under Andy Smith, who coached Penn that season. In the following year he con- tinued to play end and was elected captain. In 1914 when Coach George Brooke was searching for backfleld candidates he picked out Young and converted him into a halfback. (Copyright, 1923, by H. C. Fischer, Trade Mark reg. U. 5. Pat. off.)

James Hughes, Earl Fuller and Joe Fitzgerald, all of whom have worked in the series in past seasons, and Edmond E. Sawyer, former Philadelphian, will act as referees and umpires. Sawyer offici- ted in a few games here last winter. Eddle Bratburd was appointed scorer and timekeeper. The faculty advisers also tinkered with the series schedule. The first half was unchanged, but the second half was scheduled fo start January 30, and games thereafter will be play- ed February 2,6, 9 and 20. Sawyer and Fitzgerald were assigned to the opening double-header Tuesday, while | Hughes and Fuller will take care of 1the two engagements Friday. Gonzaga turned the tables on East- ern High School yesterday, avenging an early season defeat at the hands of the Capitol Hill boys by winning, 34 to 32.

CONFERENCE BASKETERS START SERIES TONIGHT CHICAGO, January 6.—The Western Conference basket ball season will open tonight with six of the ten teams in action. Illinols will face Michigan at Ann Arbor, Wisconsin will meet Northwestern ~at Evanston, while Jowa will take the floor against Chi- cago here. Returns of pre-season games indi- cate that the sport this year will be faster than ever as a result of changes made in_ the playing code since the close of the 1922 season. The new rules provide for a speedier game, due to the fact that most of |the technical penaities of former years are- classed as violations and, give the offended team possession of |he ball out of bounds on the side line. Under the new rules, two shots are |given for all personal fouls com-; | mitted upon the player in the penalty Zone. This change, the coaches be- |lieve will eliminate the practice fre- quently employed by teams in taking a chance in fouling the attacking side, when the ball comes in danger- ous proximity to the basket. The 1922 championship was won by Purdue, with Wisconsin and Michigan sharing for second place. i te placement of shots and speed of s service hand, the champion demon- | In an exhibition match with The accuracy* with which Tilden placed both his fore and backhand shots proved that he still was the leading net player, and both his vol- leying and service were up to stand- & rd. Vinoent Richards, Howard Voshell, Sam Hardy and Hunter, other eastern net stars making a tour with Tilden, assert that he is in as good form as before the operation. Last night's match was the first real test that Tilden has undergone since the opera- tion. Tilden declared he could grip his racket with the partly amputated finger “very well” and could hit with far more power and precision than he thought would be possible; in! fact, he found the handicap under which he must play much less than he had feared. “See, 1 can grip the racket as of o0ld," he declared, showing admirers how firmly he could wrap his fingers around the handle, despite his lost finger. In the other match Richards, paired with Hunter, defeated Voshell and Hardy, 2—6, 6—4 and 6—3. This afternoon Tilden, paired with Richards, will meet Voshell and Hardy, and in the singles Hunter plays Voshell. The evening matches include Tilden Richards in the singles and Richards and Hunter vs.. Voshell and Hardy in the doubles. NO.

BY H. C. BYRD. G EORGE WASHINGTON'S foot ball schedule, as approved by the athletic board, will find the team playing possibly two home games and probably four out of the nine listed. Also, there is a radical departpre from custom in listing Georgetown for the opening contest on September 29 instead of Thanksgiving day. Bryan Morse, director of athletics at the Hatchetite institution, .did not hesitate to bemoan the fact in announcing his schedule that he had so few home games, but stated that any other arrangement was prac- flicts with other contests. { tically impossible, owing to the lack of a playing field and certain con- He also stated that the Georgetown game probably would be just as good for George Washington in September as in November, especially as Georgetown already is entailed for so many con- tests in November.

W, FACES HARDGAME T NI TOSSERS When it faces the Qutntico Marines at Central Coliseum tonight, George Washington University basket ball team probably will not have as easy a time as it had last night in the opening fray of its season with Gai- laudet.” The Kendall Greeners were absolutely outclassed by the Hatch- etites, who won, 38 to 10, but the Quantico outfit promises to offer more opposition. The Marines cut a swath in_court circles last winter and are roported to have this year a team equally as strong. The - George Washington manage- ment has scheduled a double-header for the evening.. The first game, starting at 8 o'clock, will be between the Hatchetite freshmen and the Western High School quintet. Ten minutes after the conclusion of this engagement, the big teams will take the floor for their argument. Jimmy Hughes and C. A. Metzler are to offi- clate in both matches. Gallaudet never had a chance against George Washington. The latter opened play in whirlwind man- ner and garnered 16 points before the Kendall Greeners counted with a free toss. The half ended 26 to 1 for the downtown men and they eased in their play in the second portion of the match. Gosnell, with three scrimmage goals and eight points registered from the foul lines, was the leading socorer of the game. Brown, a George Wash*ig- ton teammate, counted five times from the floor. Daily, Goldstein and Hyde of the Hatchetites r oved excel- lent guards. Boatwright and La Fountain were best of Gallaudet's players. In @ preliminary contest, the Georse Washington co-eds nosed out the Gallaudet girls’ team, 19 to 17. It was a see-saw affair all the way, with neither team ever gaining a com- manding lead. The half score was 11- 9 for Gallaudet, the third quarter end- ed with the sextets deadlocked at 13 and when the regulation time had ex- pired they were tied at 17.

Delaware, Roanoke, St Joseph's and Juanita are new colleges on the (list for next season. Virginia and laudet, played the last three years are not among the names of team: the Hatchetites are to play. The arrangement of the Catholit University game for Thanksgivin, day gives the Hatchetites a natural rival for the holiday date and ii Georgetown does not play a game here that afternoon the contest with the Brooklanders should be excellent from every point of view. George Washingt basket ball team showed flashes of ability last night against Gallaudet and really gave evidence of greater strength than Catholic University produced in lm opening contest against the sama school just before the holidays. In Dafly, Coach Morse seems to have an excellent all-round man and in Gos- nell, who used to star for Tech, an exceptionally accurate shooter. It is a very light team that represents the Hatchetites, though, and it may not be physically able to go through a hard schedule without some real bumps” and knocks that may cost it dearly at times in keeping out of the game its best players.

He has always been called a plodding fighter. And it is true that he has not form- erly shown a vast amount of science. But against the heretofore Peppery Pepper Martin, Jack was there with the science. He walloped and was walloped, showing ability to take more than the average of blows. Furthermore. he sidestepped, ducked and blocked four out of five of the Jacing swings, jabs and hooks that Martin aimed at him. It wi too bad that Jack didn’t have a re slam packed away in one of his mit- | tens, ‘Tor he landed slmost at wilr. d1d floor Martin in the first Found d had him groggy again in the second, but the finjshing sock wasn't there. It Jack only develops more of a kick behind his punches, Dundee's crown will be in danger when those i two meet. For & bout between any two men, neither of whom were titleholders, it was one of the biggest crowds that ever jammed into the Garden. Every seat was taken and a lot of the fans were standing by the time the Bern- steinMartin affair was oslled men_were In grand physical condition. Martin was badly tied when the final twelfth closed, but Bernsteln was as fresh as a dalsy. " Radiators and Fenders {
