IN AN AWKWARD POSITION AS A DIRECTOR OF CARDS Base Ball History Reveals Other Instances of Players Financially Interested in Rival Clubs, But Practice Is Condemned. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. ] EW YORK, February r case of Rogeis Horns has just been re elected to board of directors of the Louis Cardinals as a minority stockholder in the club while being under contract to play with the New York Gian brings to the front an | other hase ball controversy in which 8 lot of high-power verbiage is going | to be spilled. | John A. Heydler, president of the National League, i for the | gtatement that no_ eircur stances may a ball p of the Na- tional League hold stock in one club and piay ball in another. Heydler's | position meuns that Hornsby will have | %o sell his stock before he will be able to play with the Giants. A player with 10 per cent of the stock .of one club in his possession, who might also play for a riv al club, might do his best for the team W h Which he was connectad as a plaver and he might not. He might over exert himseif against the team in which he held stock, but outsiders would not be so intelligently aware of it as he would Drastic Action Warranted. 1f it were known that a player held stock in a club against which he had been competing in a championship race, the president of his league would be warranted in throwing the games in which he played out of the stand ing of competition even if those games embraced all the serfes of a year. s Tt is even doubtful whether it is a good ‘policy for prayers to hold stock in the clubs with which they play. and some- persons think it is not a good thing for managers 10 be stockholders. The first base ball manager to whom stock was issued almost surely was “Cap” Anson of Chicago. He was given a few shares in his club many years ago as base ball has flown. The gEhares were placed in his way because Anson was a dignified man, a fine exemplar of the highest type of ball player, a comrade of those who had worked with him to build up the for- tunes of the team. Other Instances Known. After that other ball players ocea- slonally held stock in clubs. Some of them obtained it because owners figured upon fealty and loyalty as at- _tendant upon the posSession of a lit- tle business hoiding. New York play- ers have, held stock in clubs. Boston players may have in the old days. That is about all. In the smaller ‘cities the playvers and managers were not keen to buy stock. Usually it meant an assessment. ‘When Anson left the Chicago club he sold his stock. He went to New York. The base hall show had passcd L on. Anson entered business and poli- _ #cs, and had he been less venture- " Some he might have re.red with a competence. But he couldn't resist any kind of challenge that rang with | #eeming sportsmanship, and his rash- ness was his business undoing. Danny Richardson and Buck I had infinitesimal holdings in a Na- tional League club when they plaved with other clubs. Yet had the -fact been known. there might have beén | | { ving | started [ epposition ‘he condition lasted bare- Iy a year or so. Mack and McGraw Cited, At present there are some manage who own stock in the clubs they. con- | { these managers were original inve: re or were given stock to hold them to their emplovers. Connie Mack is interested to a large extent in the Athletics, but he never has been a player ince he became a stockholder. John J. McGraw has an interest in the Glants. John T. Brush him with it by giving him stock as a present, a fact which was trol. Almost all | made public at the time. However, If McGraw were to go to another National League club to be- come manager, even though he is no longer a player, it Is positive that he would be compelled to sell his hold- ngs in New York. The recent base ball. investigations have brought about a different atmosphere in the game. Not only must gambling cease, but the playing and the business ends of the game must be separated wider.

YANK-BROWN DEAL STILL IS POSSIBLE Br the Associated Pres NEW YORK, February Miller Huggins, manager of the New York Yankees, still hopes to complete a deal with the St. Louis Browns, he said today. § The Yankee pilot, although intend- ing to bid high for the services of Ty Cobb, former Detroit manager, would prefer to see Cobb sign with St. Louis if he evades the New York net, he intimated, in the hope that the addi- tion of Cobb would release available trading material in the Brownie out- field.

February 2 (#).—Willie Hoppe of New York, world 18.2 balk line billiard champion, will defend his title against Welker Cochran of Holly- weod, Calif., in a 1,500-point challenge match here February 10, 11 and 12. Evening sessions will be the rule. . TITLE-FIVE NOT TO GO. ° FITCHBURG, Mass., February 2 (#).—The Fitchburg High School Ath- Jetie Council has decided not to send its national baskef ball championship eam to the Chicago country-wide tournament in the Spring. When Base Ball Was Young BY JOHN B. FOSTER The First Base “Who,” queried an Fnglish au- thority on sports, witnessing his first base ball game, “devised those singu- Jar and ugly uniforms in" which your men attire them setves to play their game?” “The son of an Englishman who was one of the greatest cricketers in the United States,” was the retort. ‘‘He had two boys, of whom the uniform originator was one. They were two ©f the best cricketers ever to handle & bat and two of the best ball players in the history of the game.” . When the uniform was first put on \{n base ball, the players of the Knick- bocker Club of New York City origi- nated the idea. But they did not wear knickers, a blouse and special shoes as the players wear now. They decided upon blue and white for the color of their uniform, but it was mostly white with a decoration of blue, and the trousers were long and full, the shirts also were full and the base hall shoe was a dream yet to be materialized. Harry Wright's Tdea. The flannels worn by ball players today were the idea of Harry Wright of the old-time Cincinnati Reds, son of 8am Wright of New York. The father ‘was one of the best athletes and team players in the history of the United States. Harry was one of the best players of base ba]l and his brother George, still alive, was probably the best all-around base ball player as r and batter that the game has One day Harry was asked what he hed in mind when he brought out the notion of the present uniform. “Fewer clothes,” he said with a laueh. Thus away back in the “sixties” the modern flapper idea had begun to take germ, although it began with the other sex. ““Fou couldn't play. ball well” Wright continued in that deliciousiy bland and smdoth voice which he pos- sessed, “with inches of flannel flap-| ping”—note the modern idea again— ' “around yvour ankles. This was a spe- | clal misfortune to the infielders, who { were as likely ‘to gather in their | trousers hottoms when they reached for the ball as they wers to get a clean . girp on it. So one day I thought, why mot end the trousers at the knees? To decorate the lowar limb harmoniously 1 thought of long stockings, and then brightly colored stockings to add color 0 the game. The Cincinnatis adopted red.” The Cincinnati players have worn Ball Uniforms.. the same color ever since then. 8o far as color is concerned, they have the oldest base ball stockings in the world. A photograph of Hawke, the old RBaltimore pitcher, who was a medern as compared._with Harry Wright, shows how the original cut of the uni- form continued until long after Harry Wright had ceased to play base ball. The old-timers wanted their knicker- bockers haggy at the knees, the flan- nel hanging' down. Probably some of them were inclined to he spindled in the shank, and they did not wish to disclose their lack of limb pulchritude. In any event, until Hawke's time knickerbockers were long and full as to cloth, blouses were still of the old- fashioned type, often with a shield across the front, and the cap was a queer, brim-tipped affair which was presumed to keep the sun out of the players' eyes, The modern uniform is as carefully tailored as a suit of street clothing and all of the baggy effect Knickerbockers is taken up by arti- ficial pads, which fill the outside of the legs of the uniform in order that players may slide to bases and rid themselves of as little skin as pos- sible. Even with the pads, there are players whose hips and thighs are literally raw by the end of the season because of the slides they take to ateal bases. * Old-Fashioned Cap Gone. The old-fashioned cap has been re- placed by one which is vastly more becoming to the face, and the sun shield is provided for. by a separate shade, which makes it possible for men to run “into. the sun” and see fly hits quite successfully. The sunfielder, as he is known, is almost invariably of the most clever and most skillful type in_base ball. To return momentarily to the Eng- lish authority on sports. He was asked why the cricket players of England never had worn knicker- bockers, like_golfers and base ball players. “Really,” he answered, “really, my dear fellow, we always have done as we have.” Which is true.

(Note: This is the fifteenth of a series of stories of 1927 wmajor league club prospects.) 8. the Associated Press. T. LOUIS, February 2 manager, Dan Howley, and the coaching staff which assisted the St. Louis Nationals to a world championship last year, will endeavor to push the St. Louis Browns up the column in the Ameri- can League this year. i George Sisler, iast year's playing manager at first base, has signed up to play under Howley this year and expects the relief from the cares of management to bring back his lost laurels in batting. Sisler's news con- tract is said to call for.$15,000 a year, with a bonus if his batting improves. With Sisler signed, Howley, who came from the pilot's post of the Toronto Internationals,” was able to turn his attention to bolstering the club in other respects. Owner Phil Ball expected Howley to produce chiefly the morale which was lacking last year, and his first act was to #tract Bill Killifer away from the Cardinals to coach the Browns. « A $10,000 ralary was said to have been the inducement. A three-way deal in which the Browns trdnsferred their second hase- man, Marty-McManus, brought them a southpaw, and two promising in flelders, Otls Miller for shortstop and Bill Mullen, third baseman, from De- troit. A new The outfield presents the same roster as last year and with the in- field rearranged, Howley strengthening his pitching corps. Blaeholder, one of the leading. right- handers of the Western League at Tulsa, was added, and Ernle Nevers, coast foot ball ster, is expected to be ready for a_regular turn in the hox this year. He was given the chance to start games last Fall nd showed well under fire, Eight other veterans of last year's mound stafft will he on hand—Van Gilder, Zachary, Wingard, Gaston, Giard, Davis, Ballou and Falk. In the Detroit deal Howley turned over Biil Hargrave, catcher, and to fill his place as reserve backstop he sent to Toronto for an old comrade, Steve O'Neill, former American ,leaguer. The Browns are making the most determined effort of the American League clubs to land Ty Cobb for what the Georgia peach has sald will be his final year I base ball as vindi- cation that he never was involved in a crooked deal and still retains the old batting eve. Undoubtedly Cobb, if he can be persuaded to sign with the Browns, would raise the spirits of the team immensely, even if his presence in the outer garden was only inter- mittent. Manager Howley was in Augusta, Ga., today, prepared to make an offer to Cabb, who was expected horge from a hunting trip on Thursday. “I don't know vet whether Cobb is going to play base ball,” Howley said, “but if he is, T want him.” STARS OF TRACK WORLD IN MILLROSE A.

YONKERS, N. Y., February 2.— Brown patch, a blight to which golf courses are subject, can be pre- vented if the links are sown with American bent grasses and chlor- phenol is applled every two weeks. experiments of Dr. C. R. Orton at the Bovce Thompson Institute for Plant Research lead him to believe. Experiments with bent grasses, so- called because they bend and crawl along the ground, have heen car- ried on for two vears on a specially prepared plot of ground adjoining the Hudson River -Country Club, Seven varieties of grass were used. Rent grasses will cover a green with a luxuriant growth, fit for play, six weeks after chopped grass ha een spread over the ground and covered with a light layer of sofl. Top dressings of ammonium sul- phate, usually death "to plantain, crab grass and dandelions, are just plain liquid in the life of bent grass, experimenters believe.

This was the dictum of President Charles A. Stoneham of the Giants when informed that the former Car dinal manager, traded to New York | for Frankie Frisch and Jimmy Ring, had been re-clected a director of the Louis club. If Hornsby stays as a club official in St. Louls, he won't be allowed to play in a New York uniform.” Stone ham said. “That has been so ruled by President Heydler of the ional League, and of course the New York club wiil observe the ruling Must Sell His Stock. I think that a way will ba found to straighten out the matter before the season opens. Hornsby will sell | nis stock. But he has an idea, ap- | parently, that it is worth more than the persons in St. Louis think it is. He may he able to sell it at his figure.
