Bresnahan-St. Louis Controversy to Come Before Board of Directors. New York, Dec. 8—Baseball men be- | gan their invaston of New York today for the important meetings of the weel which will begin here tomorrow. Au- | gust Herrman, chairman of the nation- | commission and president of the Cincinnati club, was one of the first to entatives of baseball in- | terests in town tonight were for the al league, whoSe anmual meeting will take place tomorrow. National league activities will begin ! tomorrow afternoon with a meeting of the’ organization’s board of directors, which will try to straighten out the dispute hetween Roger Bresnahan and | the St. Louis club over thes former | manager's contract. The directors of | the league which will pass upon the | matter are Messrs. Herrmann of Cin- | cinnati, Dreyfuss of Pittsburg, Mur- | phy of Chicago and-Ebbets of Brook- i Iyn. John T, Brush, who died recently, was also a_member of the board, Who will represent the' New York club is not yet known. The New York club indicated its expectation that Vice President Hempstead would arrive from Indianapolis for the meeting. However, in urofficial quarters it was | stated that Mr. Hempstead would not be here, as business duties will keep him in Indinnapolis If he dves not at- tend the New York club will be repre- sented by Secretary McCutcheon and Cornelius Sullivan, a_director of the club. Both Bresnahan and the St. Louis club will be represented at the meet- ing of the board by attorneys. The annual meeting of the National | league will be held Tuesday.. The big| | business before the league is the elec- | | tion of a president. At this time, in general baseball opinion, as moulded by the recent special meeting which sustained the league’s president in the 'ogel case, the re-election of Thomas J. Lynch, seems assured. Robert W. Brown, a Loyisville editor, was a can- didate for the office a few weeks ago, though Mr. Brown's friends were do- ing all his' campalgning. Mr. Brown, however, has said he does not want his name put before the meeting unless he is sure of election. President Lynch had little to say to- day about the prospects. “I never ask- FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL PRICES FIRMER. Movements of Stock Saturday Inclined | to Be Irregular.

The most en- ment was the firmer prices sent over by London before the local opening, but the nervousness created by the spectacular movements on the New | York stock exchange during the last | few days has left a degree of caution among traders which prevented any extensive commitments. A large percentage of sentiment was inclined to the bullish side of the mar- Ket, but the uncertainty of what may follow on Monday retarded an active improvement. The shock which last ¥'s decision of the United States court in the Harriman mer- suit gave to the market had not lost its effect, and in view of the ex- pected decislon tomorrow in the Min- nesota rate case traders were not in- clined to take any chances, but pre- ferred to await developments before putting out new lines. The call money tone continued to be casier, and for the period there was nothing discouraging. In_the gains made for the day the list displayed a mixed array of both ralls and in- dustrials. Amalgamated , Copper and United States Steel showed fractional declines. The only large gain shown was in Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, which on a transaction of 100 shares recorded an advance of 9 7-§ points, and the heaviest ioss shown was by the Texas company of 3 5-8 points on transactions amounting to 2,015 shares.

New York, Dec. 8. | Fifteen teams started at one fpin- ute after midnight this morning in the twentieth annual six day bicycle rage at Madison Square Garden. The rid- ers get out at.an even and fairly speedy gait and at the end of first mile were bunched with Marcel Berthet of the Franco-Italian team, | Berthet and Brocco, making_the pace, The time-for the mile was 2.31. The record for the first hour of a six day race was equalled when at 1 o'clock the riders still bunched had gone 25 miles and .5 laps. A new record Whs established at the end of the second hour when the riders had pedaled 50 miles and 2 laps. The old record was 50 miles, 1 lap, made by La Fourcade and Faber in 1908. ures ten laps to the mile, hay been | bullt for increased speed, being bank- od at a sharper angle at the turns, with broader approaches to the two| stretches, both of which are shorter than heretofore. To avold unnecessery delays fin| changing partners and “loafing” under | the pretext of unavoidable accidents, | the rules governing the race have been changed so thet eny team not represented through accident or de- slgn efter the others have covered ten laps shall be penalized the distance which % may have lost. Judges and inspectors have instructions to see to it that Intentional delays caused by so- called “accidents” shall not profit the offenders. Last year the riders demanded that the cash prizes be arranged on a per- centage of the gate receipts, and the winners were dissatisfied with the re- sult. This yeer the nine leading teams will recelve cash prizes as follow: First, $1,600; second, $1,000; third,$800; fourth, $700; fifth, $500; sixth, $400; seventh, $300; eighth, $200, and ninth, $100. In addition to these about $18,- 000 in_bonuses will be divided among the riders. Many of this year's entrants are vet- erans at the game, but new blood will be infused into this contest and the foreign element is strongly represent- ed. LAUREL HILLS DEFEAT MANUAL TRAINING FIVE.

Thanks to Jupiter Pluvius, any Am- erican league player who starts out next season with the intention of shattering Clyde Milan's base stealing record will only have to fiich 89 has- stocks. If the weather man had only | | held off for half an hour on August | 8th last, Milan’s record of larcenies would have been 91, instead of 88. The speedy Senator had stolen three bases in the game with the Browns on the date mentioned when Jupiter Pluvius impinged on the scene and made it necessary for the umpire to call the game In the third inning, The three bases Milan actually stole for which | he obtaineq no credit in efther offi- cial or unofficial records were gained while Krichell was behind the bat. Record Breaker Milan, who ran fourth in the competition for the| Chabners American league _trophy, found the Cleveland catchers the eas- fest to steal on, geiting 27-of his thefts in the series with the Naps. On | the St. Louls windpaddists he stole 17 | bases, not counting the three out of | which he was euchred by Jupiter Plu- vius. Milan stole 13 bases on the De- troit catchers, 10 on Chicago's big mitt men, nine on New Yerk's receiv- ers and &iv on the backstops of the Philadelphia and Beston teams, His biggest day's work on the paths was on June 14, when in a game with Clevbland he sacquired five stolen Dbases, beating hie way to second and third twice and making a_clean steal of home once. Cleveland’s catchers in this game were O'Neil and Adams, the first named throwing Milan out at second when he tried to steal in the introductory inning. Milan played in 154 games last sea- son_and stole one or more bases In 61 of these contests. Once he was cred- ited with five thefts, four times wih three, 15 times with two, and 41 times with one. Milan gained his greatest number of stolen bases during July, when he added 19 steals to his record. In June he was credited with 18 lar- cenies, in August with 17, in May and September with 13, in April with six and in October with two. OLYMPIC GAMES. Account of Contests at Stockholm by Commissioner James E. Sullivan. A complete report of the Olympic games at Stockholm, 1912, has just Dbeen published in_book form. It is edited by James E. Sullivan, United States commissioner to the Olympic games, and might be considered as the official American report of the games. It is the first complete report that has been published in one volume and from a record standpoint it is a very valuable adjunct to athletic his- tory, as it not only contains a full and complete report of the Olympic games at Stockholm, but also a re- port of all former Olympic games since 1896. The Olympic Games at StockRolm, 1912, will be sent to any address by the ‘American Sports Publishing com- pany, 21 Warren street, New York city, on receipt of the regular price, Lobsters at Taftville.

No critic can possibly see more than 20 different elevens in action during the seasen and few see as mfany as half that number. The best that may be done is to select | the stars of the east frem actual ob- servation. One might say Jim Thorpe of the Carlisle Indians, and stop right there. All year long he proved a host in him- self and it is certain that no better football plader ever slipped across the lime marked field than this redskin. who have been as good compared to the other men who were in the game when they were active, but there sure- ly were none better. Thorpe had no superior in running an end or dodging through a broken field. As an expo- nent of the “straight” arm many a rival player can bear witness fo his prowess. As for speed, no backfield man since the days of Harold Weeks of Columbia ever showed a greater burst. Everyone who is familiar with athletics knows that he is a ten second man for a hundred yards and in his football togs he was able to sustain the same great flight. As a punter and drop kicker Thorpe combined these two essentials of the sport better than any _other player. Felton of Harvard was a better punter and many may think that Brickley, another crimson man, was a better drop kicker, but neither of these com- bined the two qualifications. In the opinion of the writer even Brickley was not nearly so deadly as a drop kicker. He had a better line to hold for him than Thorpe, yet the Indlan had a habit of booting the ball over the crossbar with alarming frequency. As a line breaker Thorpe was no slouch, for he was a hard man to bring to the ground. So, summing up every- thing, Jim Thorpe appears to have possessed about every quality neces- sary to make a player close to per- fection. Therefore the Indian is chosen as the star of them all, without fur- ther argument or rebuttal. Ketcham a Great Center. After Thorpe, the one man who stood out in his position as the best on the gridiron, one about Wwhom there should be no argument, was Ketcham, the Yale center. He outplayed every one that was pitted against him by a large sized margin. He made his job more than the mere necessary cog in the machinery which so many centers do, Ketcham was always worrying his rivals, and many a-bad pass was made by his opponent through Ketcham's aggressive woek. Furthermors Ketch- am was down the fleld often under kiels faster tham his ends, making tackles in the apen, and when he hit & man that same person usually weni Colehester wilk play in “Taftville a week from Tuesduy, and a team from Danielson has been gecured for Christ- 1 mag afternoon. dewn to stay, Parmenter of Harvard was next te him.

In the past there may have been men | who was picked a year ago. The Tiger pivot had a bad season and scarcely figured among the first half dozen centers, Having chosen the two ‘who stand are close en Felton, the best punter,in the east earned a place for himself by that cne quality. As an end player he was not spectacular, but he was alwa pendable. Bomeisler of Yale was one of the best ends seen since the days of Kilpatrick and Shevlin/of Yale and many figure him almost as good as cither of them. The ohe thing against Bomelsler was that he was too sus- ceptible to injury. For this reason Bomeisler was not as much use to his team as he might have been had he been rugged enough to go through a full campaign. Guyon of Carlisle and Storer of Harvard were good enough. to be tackles on the all star team, but they did not stand a great deal above many other men playing the, position. Brown | of the navy was the best looking guard in the east and was an eafy man to pick for that position. There were many other capable players in that position, but Pennock of Harvard, in the opinion of the writer, should be gliven the call for his steady, efficient playing all the year. ny Good Backs. (‘um!ngqllown to the backs to run with Thorpe there were so many good ones that it is hard to make distin tions. Brickley of Harvard, to be sure, ‘Wwas a star of the first water because of his drop kicking and hard line hit- ting and heavy fighting qualities, so there should be little question about picking him. It seems a shamec to leave off some of the reaily fine -backs of the 1912 crop, but as there is only room for one other halfback, Hobey Baker of Princeton is the choice. He played dashing, spectacular football all season except in the game against Harvard, and that day it was more the fault of his team than through any lack of individual ability that he did not show better. One could put a slip of paper in & hat with the names of several quarter- backs writen thereon and make no mistake in picking biindly to get a high class man. Miller of Penn State, ‘who was the runner up for the honorg last year, was just as good as ever this year, and with Sprackling out of the game Miller might just as well be selected as anyone else. Crowther' of Brown was a star of the first magni- tude. Other really good ones were Pazzetti of Lehigh, McKissick of Swarthmore, Gardner of Harvard, Ba- con of Wesleyan and Rodes of the navy. As to the ranking of the teams, Harvard was unquestionably the best in the east. Princeton looked next best, but after that the records are too tangled to make any equitable classifi- cation. SHAKEUP IN UMPIRES. Sure to Be Many New Indicator Men in the Majors Next Year. A big shakeup in National league umpires is promised for next season. There is a report that Morecai Brown will hitch up with the American league, but those who know say Brown will be on Tom Lynch's staff. It is aimost certain that Jim John- stons js to be dropped. Ha is per- sona non granta with Lynch, and be- sides, it s rumored, he has made a formal statement in Fogel's behalf in which he charges that Lynch seldom or 'never assigned him to important games at the Polo Grounds. Bill Fin- neraft probably will go back to the In- ternational league and Bush already has been released. Al Orth made good and will he re-engaged at a good sal- ary. Another new-comer is Guthrle, for merly of the International league, If Brown Is engaged in umpiring, teams probably will be coupled as follows; Kilem and Brown, Rigler and-Guthrie, Brennan and Easen, and Owens and Orth, Klem usually breaks in 2 néw partner every season, Brennan. axd Owens may stick together. . but the chances are that Lynch will spiit up | pal lon him. | politictan, and his friends are urging that team “for the good of the ser- vice” If two or three new engaged. According to National league um- pires there is not much chance of Hank O'Day appearing arbitra- tor next season. He doesn't need the money, and if he should return to the roie of indicator man he will work in the American league. ‘T doubt if Hank is looking for & job,” sald-Charley Rigler the other day. “He is well fixed financlally and then he isn't as young as he used to be. I happen to know that Hank made some wise real estate Invest- ments in_ Chicago two or throe years ago, nd_they have put him on easy street. Hank is single, but he liv well, and now that he has a compe- tence I look for him to retire. Still, you never can tell how the spring tever will break out in an old umpire, 1 have known players who couldn't resist the sight of green grass and the call of the game.” Pregident Lynch says he has recelv- | ed no application from O'Day since Hank resigned the Cincinnati manag, ment. But the old boy has been on the move these many years, Next spring when the teams are flitting here and {there the quiet and stationary life of a Chicago real estate aperator may Hank is somewhat of a him to run for alderman. Even an umpire may be elected in corrupt Chi- | cago. The most probable view of Hank's immediate future is that he will yleld to the wanderiust, crease the old blue trousers, blow up the old windpad, and dented old mask with its patent ear flaps, adjust his judiciel scowl and selly forth to harass the downtrodden players once more. Youngster to Oust Cobb? Sporting News, under the headline, St. Louis Boy May Oust Cobb, has the following to say about Lefty High, left flelder for Hartford last season and who has been sold to De- troft: “Now don't laugh at that head- ing. Why not? It Cobb says he will quit the game if he doesn't get $15, 000 & year, and President Navin of Detroit says he won't give it, what then? Why Hugh High of course, the St. Louis youth who has been secured by the Tiger club fro Hart- ford, where under Tom Connery for the past two years he Is said to have developed wonderfully. At any rate, if not permitted to become Cobb's suc- cessor, High will be satisfied to work alongside him in the outfield and share honors with him. He will not be sat- isfled with anything less. He has been a member of twe major league teams without even being allowed to hit a ball in the big show, and this time will instst on a chance. High began his career in the St. Louls independent ranks. The Browns signed his name to & contract to report when wanted, but he was never called on, ard drew his release. He went to Hartford, hit over .300 in his first vear out, and John MeGraw bought him, only to him back without looking him over, Not discouraged, he hit harder than ever last season, and Datroit grabbed him. Now all he wants is for Hugh Jennings to give him a chance and he will make them forget Ty Cobb., Aiming high? Well, per- haps, but High is his right name.” TWO DAYS' SERIES WANTED.
