The selection of- Tuesday April 17, as the opening fate for the 1923 pennant race of the National league was the feature of the annual meeting of the sanidr basebald crganizoiion today. The magmates unanimously favored‘ opening the season a week later than L -!E'?'flther conditions have proved' more favorable for baseball early in October than the forepart of April during recent beasons, according to President John A. Heydler. Playing a| schedule of 154 games and allowing for the usual number of open dates the league executive opined that when the schedule was completed it would show the closing date as Sunday, Oc- i tober 7. This would bring the opening game of the world series on or about Tuesday, October 9, he said, approxi- mately one week later than the initi- wul game In the 1927 series. When asked if this later opening would alko be observed by the Ameri- can league, Heydler said that he knew ef no reason why there should be a difference of opinion on the matter.! He stated that at a conference with President B. B. Johnson, of the Amer- fcan league, last August, April 17, was fixed upon as the date. Most of the session was devoted to routine. The 1922 pennant was offi- | clally awarded to the New York Club! and the team also congratulated upon winning the world series. The club owners, who attended the meeting in & body, approved the plan to erect a; monument over the grave of Captain Adrian Anson, in Chicago. | The seleciton and detail was left to the president. Appropriate resolutions lso were taken upon the death of G. Bulkeley, Hartford, the, tirst president of the National league.' n his apnual report President Heyd- ler stated “if anything was 1meled to stabilize the sport then that need was: adequately supported by the recent! decree of the United States supreme court ratifying the legality of the re- serve clawse and upholding the right! to_make ineligible those who for any good reason deserve disqualification.” But one sale of a player was offi- cially reported. This sent Walter L. &olke, first baseman of the Boston Braves, to the Philadelphia Nationals in a cash deal. ‘The league will convene again to- morrow. FACT ACTION EXPECTED IN NATIONAL A. C. SHOW Plenty of action is promised for the Jocal boxing enthusiasts Friday night when “Fighting Joe" Nelson of Phil- adelphia meets Freddy Madden of Lowell, Mass., in the main bout of the National A. C. at Olympic Hall here. Nelson is all that his name impiies, ® fast stepper and hard fighter from the first tap of the bell until the fin- ish of the fight. Reports from Philly and New York concerning Nelson say that the boy is fast in all departments of the game and packs two wicked wallops in each mitt. Freddy Madden is considered equally as fast and ag- gregsive as Nelson aithough Nelson hag been at the game longer than the ! Lowell lad. Those who have seen both Jads in action are of the opinion ‘hati the main bout will go the limit and! will be productive of some real tip- top tighting. ‘The semi-final will have a little more Interest for local people as Young Mar- tin Flaherty who meets Murray Soren ! of' New York has fought in this sec-!

GENE McCANN LOOKING B . FOR BASEBALL TIMBER Gene McCann, manager of the Bridgeport Bastern League club, is in New York this week, attending the International, National and joint ma- jor league meetings. Gene is in hopes of: securing several more players. He gathered in three at the minor league meet at Louisville and expects to land several more by next Saturday. Gene wants nine more new faces, twp outfielders, another catcher, two s and four pitchers. Thisl| means that many of last year's play- ns will be among those missing when ' the season starts. The pitching staff has been hit the Vines and Stauffer have been taken up by Brooklyn and Chicago, and Eddie LePard goes to Buffalo. ft and Leasure are still with the squad but McCann is ndt sure both will be They are, however, the Wz"" of the local club. ll\lln;:‘ like Le:.’n;:.e goes to Buf- falo and Fielder h: n disposed of. ‘TRl dinesas do=s Jorths ~oen in the in- field. the outfield remains to-be seen: Just what McCann will do in He } of hitters, and that he wasn't satis- fied with the batting strength of the| outer works last vear. Figure it out| for yourself. The men fsigned by McCann at the Louisville meeting are Wilson, a southpaw pitcher drafted by the Yan- kees from the Western League and highly recommended by Scout Bob Connedy, of the New York Colonels, Slim Cleary, right hand pitcher of the Little Rock club, of the Southern lea- gue and Outfielder Ripperton of the Chattanooga club, of the same league. MeCann bought the last two named, both tried and true performers. CUBS OF 1823 TO BE CLUB OF YOUNGSTERS Chicago, Dec. 12—The Chicago Cubs will go into the 1923 National League pennant race with a team made up of more young players than. any othgr' club in the major leagues. It also w‘l_ll be piloted by the youngest manager in the ofer organization, William Killi- fer, 34, who was reappointed for a term of two years. Forty players are on the club’s ros- ter to report for spring training at Catalina Island. The majority were with the club in 1922, when Manager Killifer began the proces's of recon- structing the club, and, with the ex- ception of Marty Krug, who filled in at third base the latter part of the season, will be on hand when called together. From this array of talent, a club of seasoned players is expected, which should be an improvement over the 1922 aggregation, which made a cred- itable showing despite the fact it fin- ished in fifth place. Fourteen pitchers on the Cubs’ ros- ter will strive for permanent posi- tions. Of these, only one, Graver Al- exander, is a veteran. Although handi- capped part of the season of 1922 be- cause of a lame arm, he still has con- | siderable pitching prowess. Four are southpaws. The Cubs are believed to have ac- quired star players in George Grant- ham and 2. B. Barrett, who will con- test with ten other men signed up for infield positions. Charley Hollocher, rated as one of the best shortstops in the majors, should have no trouble winning his regular berth, but Ray Grimes, one of the leading first baseman in the league in 1922, and an excellent batter, may find some stiff competition among the other young men. Other candidates for infield berths include Johnny Kelleher, and Joe Klugman, who returns from Atlanta. Bernie De Viereirds also comes back for another trial. Ten men are slated to battle for outfield berths. The; catching department should show to greater advantage in 1923, as Bob! D’Farrell has developed- into one of} the best backstops in the league. He probably will be the first string re- ceiver, but will find some strong com- petition in Wirts and Leo Hartnett. JOHNSON AND LANDIS IN PERFECT HARMONY Chicago, Dec. 12—(By the A. P.)— All reports concerning a difference of ; opinion between K. M. Landis, base- ball commissioner, and Ban Johnson, president of the American league, were dispelled by Johnson himself today previous to his departuré*for New Yo.k to attend the American league meet- ing there tomorrow. \ President Johnson declared he in full accord of the administration of Commissioner Landis; that the commissioner “stands 100 per cent. in my estimation,” but that certain club owners in the major leagues were at- tempting through propaganda, to start a controversy between himself and the | commissioner. “I have no quarrel with Land!s and| have never criticised his office and will not so long as he does his duty to baseball,” President Johnson said. The American league executive said he would present reports from pri- vate detective agencies which inves- tigated gambling in baseball. “I arh going to make a report on the! unrestricted gambling that has been going on and I believe Judge Landis will support me: in my stand to wipe it out. Gambling must be stopped. If | the club owners will give: their aid® in exterminating this evil, it can be accomplished.” “1ODIFIED DRAFT PROPOSAL DEFEATED AT INT. MEETING ew York, Dec. 12—Defeat of a: diffed draft proposal and several yer deals marked the closing ses- 1 today of the annual meeting of 'rnational league club-owners. he proposal designed as an alter- ive for the regular draft, which 3 been rejected by the International well as four other big minar leagues, s made by Walter E. Hapgood, part swner of the Rochester club. It pro- vided that a player who has been with a club for two years must be sold to' a major league club for a minimum price of $15000, providing he is in demand. In league circles, the plan was view- ed as another éffort to force disposal by the Baltimore club of several of the | stars on the team that has made the International league one-sided for sev- | eral seasons. The sale of Charles W. Ward, sub- stitute Brocklyn infielder, to the Reading club was announced by C. H. | Ebbetts, president of the Dodgers. S. L. Robertson, president of the Buf- falo club, announced he had treded third baseman Gene Sheridan and Ed Tomlin, pitcher, to Newark for Third man W. Webb. DALY RESIGNS AS COACH OF ARMY West Point, N. Y., Dec. 12—Major ' Charles D, Daly since 1913 head coach of the Army football team, has relin- quished his duties, on his own request, and has been succeeded by Captain John J.

ROCHESTER PROPOSAL IS REJECTED BY LEAGUE New York, Dec. 12—A proposal made by the Rochester baseball club that any player in the international league of two years” standing, for whom an offer of $15,000 or more has been made, must be sold, was rejected today at the league’s annual meeting.

Landis, com- missioner of dasebail yesterday denied reinstatement of George (Buck) Weav- er, former star third baseman of the Chicago White Sox. Weaver was one of those dropped as a reSult of the scandal in which it was charged cer- tain baseball players and outsiders plotted to throw the 1919 world’s se- ries championship to Cincinnati. ‘Weaver, who played in the old Con- necticut league before becoming a ma- jor star, aways hak maintaindd his innocence regarding the crooked se- ries, he told Commissioner Landis in his application for reéinstatement. Weaver told the commissioner he had ween approached by Eddie Cicotte, pitcher of the White Sox with a prop- osition to “throw the series”. He eaid; he told Cicotte the series could not be thrown, and thereafter heard no more about it. Commissioner Landis in_his decision said: “Indictments were returned against certain members of the team, includ- ing Weaver. On the trial of this case, a witness for the prosecution gave what he claimed was a detailed ac- count of his meeting with the indicted men and arranging with them for the throwing of the world’s series games. “The report showed that Weaver was present in court during the testimony of this witnelss, who most specifically stated that Weaver was present at the conference, and yet the case went to the jury without any denial from Weaver from the witness stand. “If the incriminating evidence was false, the baseball public had a right to Weaver's denial - under oath. Of course, it is true that a verdict of not guilty was rendered in Weaver's favor. It was also likewise true that the same jury returned the same ver- dict in favor of Cicotte, Claude Wil- liams and Joe Jackson, each of whom had confessed his guilt. “Weaver denies he had anything to do with the conspiracy as alleged in the confesions, which were introduc- ed at the trial. However, his own ad- missions forbid hid reinstatement.” TEAM C LEADS IN Y ATHLETIC CONTEST 'RUPPERT EXPECTS TO BECOME SOLE OWNER OF YANKS WITHN THE WEEK New York, Dec. 12—Developments | connected with the major league base- ! ball sessions today centered prominent- ly around the affairs of the New York Yankees, American league chumpions. Colonel Jacob Ruppert’s formal an- nouncement that he expected within a week to acquire sole o rship of the club by purchasing, for'a report- ed consideration of $1,500,000, the half interest of Colonel T. L. Huston, was followed by authoritative reports that the Yankees had cjosed a deal with the White Sox to trade Aaron Ward, Bob Meusel and a pitcher to the west- erners for Eddie Collins, veteran sec- ond sacker, and Dick Kerr, south- paw pitcher. It was said that offi- cial announcement would be made at tomorrow’s session. The only possibility of a hitch in the eal, as now outlined, centers around err, who failed to report to the White jox last spring and must secure re- instatement. Ward played second base and Meusel in the outfield last sea- son. Colonel Ruppert’s announcement fol- lowed his partner's statement last night that he was negotiating for the sale of his interests in order to “take a rest.” “Legal details are all that remain in the way of completing the deal,” said “olonel Ruppert. “No other interests than my own are involved, nor will I have any partners after Colonel Hus- ton retires.” Colonel Ruppert denied emphatical- ly that he and Colonel Huston had not agreed on club policies, including the retention of Manager Miller Huggins. He would reveal no details of the fi- nal agreement made with his part- ner but did not deny that the club, in- cluding the new Yankee stadium, pos- sesses a value in the neighborhood of $3,000,000. Despite Colonel Huston’s announced desire to retire from baseball, reports persisted that he might obtain an in- t=&st im ine BOStun Al club. Throughout the day interviewers.
