DEADLOCKS EXIST AT AETNA ALLEYS | Race for Various Honors in Gity League Remains Close The past week in the City Bowling league circles brought about a com- siderable change in the standing of the teams. At the opening of the past week flve teams were deadlocked for second place, but the schedule- maker arranged games during the week that changed the camplexion of the league standing. As it now stands, the Live Oaks are in supreme cgmmand of first-place honors, with the Harpoons and An- nex battling for the Tunner-up posi- The Colonials are next in line and then come the Mohawks. The Areos and the Warrlors are tied for the place next to the Wanderers, who refuse to relinquish their hold on the cellar position. There is no change in the battle exacted | for leadership of the individual hon- | ors, In Chicogo yesterday Charley Com. | Rogers still leading with 106.

Comiskey admits that the sugges- | tion is radical and he does not neces sarily favor such a course, but says he would be willing to go to great| lengths to enable the major leagues | to retain their high standard during | the duration of the war. new drafts may make into the Dbig league ranks next season, Comiskey has the following to say: “Pooling of players may hecome im- | perative to. preserve anything like equality in playing strength. If the forthcoming drafts for the National { Army take half a dozen regulars away from stars from others and none at all from isome clubs, the result would be a | runaway pennant race, which would rob the sport of all public interest |early in the season.” j Coming from the owner of the j world’s champion ball team and the second best money maker in base- ball, a suggestion to pool receipts and players is up to the usual standard of Comiskey sportsmanship. However, it is unlikely that such an extreme step neeg be taken, at least in 1918. There is no doubt that the b leagues will be hit harder by the dfi% than appeared the case at the end of last season. The new classifications will likely bring to the fore numérous players who held high numbers in the draft lottery. However, the great percentage of major leaguc \ players are married and will claim exemption because of dependent wives or fami- les. Deny Herzog Deal. Though the New York club stoutly denies knowledge of any deal involv- ing Herzog, there is no denying the fact that Herzog and McGraw are not very fond of each other. Relations are strained not only between McGraw one or two teams, one or two | ing close behind are Brennecke and A. Anderson with 102. Others who have positions in the three-figure cal- umn are Bertini, Windish and Hines. The complete statistics are as fol- lows: Standing of Tcams, w. L.

Herzog is a splendid player, a fight- er on the ficld and a splendid fellow off the field. He is not a rowdy, is always fighting for his club, yet Herzog is a poor harmonizer. Charley seems to be able to be with a club for just so long before he falls out with his associates. Tlerzog came to the Giants in 1908, and in 1909 he had his first serlous argument with McGraw. He was or- dered to play an cxhibition game, but claimed he had sorc hands and went to his farm in Maryland instead of reporting for the exhibition game. i The following winter he was traded | to Boston. In 1911 he had a serles of arguments with i former President Russell of the Braves and finally walked out on the club. He was un- | der an indefinite suspension when Mc- 3raw got him back in a trade for Bridwell and Gowdy. Herzog and McGraw got along pretty well for a spell, but relations again became very strained in 1913, when McGraw benched Herzog and placed Shafer on third. Herzog was traded to Cincinnati, where he man- aged the team for two and a half sea- ; sons. Back with the Giants Herzog got along with McGraw until the latter | part of last season, when he left the team without permission because of a vhysical ailment. REST FOR PENN TEAM.

B B SOME BOWLER IS SMITH Scventy-Nine Year Old Lane Artst Who Hits '"Fm Where They Count for Good Scores. Kensington can lay claim to having one of the oldest and most enthusi- astic followers of ‘*ducks” in this vicinity in the person of John Smith, who despite his 79 years, can throw '‘em down the lanes with a keener eye than many of his youthful friends at the Aetna alleys. Mr. Smith dropped into the Church strect bowi- ing temple last Saturday and tried his hand at copping the high score for the day, and when the figures for the day were counted, it was seen that his 129 score brought home the bacon. It might be suggested that Manager | Rogers acquire the services of Smith for his league team or Bil] Brennecke add him to the \Wanderers quintet. Of course, Mr, Smith might Jjustly raise somo objections to rolling with his weaker colleagues, but there is no question but his ability would en- hance either team's chances toward victory. RUTGERS IN SHAPE. New Brunswick, N. J., Nov. 20.— The Rutgers eleven came out of the contest with the Teague Island Ma- rines in good shape. Yesterday af- ternoon the players were kept in classes until it was too late for work on the field so Koster Sanford had practice in the gymnasium. The time was spent chiefly in correcting minor errors brought out in Saturday’s game and in smoothing out the team of- feusive in preparation for the battle with Cupid Black’s Naval Reserves in Brooklyn.
