DEFEAT CANADIANS

JUST BEFORE SAILING

309th Amu. Tr., Composed of ExTrolley Stars, Noses Out Nova Scotia Bunch, 5-4.

By Ralph H. Wkite.

Closely following a card telling of the safe arrival overseas of "Speed" -}}osworth and Sammy Becker, former trolley league stars, comes to the t"wrller an account of a baseball game UP'ayed between the 309th Ammunition *1 ruin ball learn. which th» two boys *4»re memberB, and the Sydney, Nova t.ia, team, champions of the Canadian eague, Oct. 9.

The America^ soldiers -won the '•.kubsIo, 5 to 4, Pitcher Ball busting up Si is own party with a two-bagger with 5»o on in the eighth.

Here is "dpeed's" account of the af,,Yair, played the day before the U. S. i&ransport carrying the 3oSih to the battle fields of France, put out to sea: i "The U y Ammunition Train base.sibull team defeated the Sydney, Nova "-iHootia, team, champions of the Canadian .league, 5 to 4. A large crowd turned iout, accompanied by a naval band from 'A he U. S. A. battleship which was •Jin port here. The gate receipts were donated to the American Ked Cross. "The Sydney team is composed of ".•well known athletes and had little -trouble in winning the pennant in their /^league this past season. The Sydney jboys were all good batters, but lacked "Vhe peppery fielding that was shown by lithe, soldiers. 'TThe game was a battle from start 3io finish, iilled with brilliant plays that kept the hip crowd interested at all

Jiimes.

F. McLean, the Canadian pitcher,

Jfhad the soldiers guessing for a while, but the team work of the American ji'-.lub proved too much for him. He is fthe leading pitcher in these parts, havwon

games and lost five the past

^season. Pitcher Ball won his .own •?game with a two-base hit with two men f£on bases in tlr eighth inning. A featfturc of the game was two fast double -i plays by the soldiers' infield, which iyhroke up rallies by the champions." If In the box score can be found a ^galaxy of former Trolley league stars, jeyery one of which took a hand in winfning the verdict for the American outfit. Sammy Becker, leading off, tore off r«three hits in five times up, one going A for two bases. He scored one run as .'"•did "Speed" Bosworth, who also poled S3 a single. Wibble, wtio hatls down Suiji, livan way, smashed a double in three '-aiimes up and scored. Fader, another local product, was there with three 5 hingles in four times at bat. He also jjcrossed the plate.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—To Jake Daubert, late of the Brooklyn Dodgers, goes the title of "final goat of baseball." Major league players believed they should have been paid up to the date their contracts terminated instead of being cut off the day the season closed. Daubert made himself the trial horse by starting a test case. He placed a claim with the national commission against the Brooklyn club for 82.150. salary due him from September to October 14.

The commission's finding, signed by Chairman Herrmann and President Johnson of the American league, denied Daubert's claim on the grounds that the Brooklyn club was forced to suspend as a result of a government order ending the activities of the club

When the government ordered all the major leagues to suspend on September 1, the clubs all gave their plavers ten days' notice of release. While this would under normal conditions make the players free agents, there is a gentlemen s agreement among the club owner's not to tamper with one anothera players when the time comes for the game to start operation* again.

Several of the players were in the same position as Daubert, and his men herein referred to. The Brooklyn club was unable to finish the season because of the impossibility of retaining the services of its players

with its players if it desired to do so. The claim

the player is, therefore,

dismissed.'' The outcome of the trial in Daubert's ease will probably establish a precedent for all of them. The Chicago "ubs and the Boston Red Sox, the contenders in the world's series this year, claimed their salaries up to the end of the series and the clubs granted their requests.

Daubert submitted evidence -which showed he held a contract covering a five-year period for 1914 a salary of 89.000 a season. On Sep trmber 2 he was paid J202. which, with previous payments, totaled $6,850 for the 1918 season to that date. He filed claim with the national commission for the difference between that sum and $t*,O00, alleging the Brooklyn club was liable for the full amount. The national 'commission in its finding states: "While It. is true that the Brooklyn club agreed to pay the player his specified salary for the playing season for each of the years in which he was under contract with that club, and that the contract recited that the playing season would begin on or about tfye 14th day of April in each of said years and end on or about the 14th day of October, there was nothing to prevent the league of which the Brooklyn club was a member, by appropriate action, cutting the season short. "This was made necessary by the work-or-flght

ruling of

ment."

BASEBALL CONES BUCK

No Room In National Pastime of Future For Present Type of Officials,

NTjW YORK. Oct. 15.—Baseball will come hick after the war—but minus the barnacles that had so much to do with sending the old craft into the drydorks of 1918.

There will not be room in baseball of the future for the type of men who have dominated the professional sido of it for the last twenty years. The methods of Ban Johnson and of Garry Herrmann and others of their kind are methods obsolete. Those men were good men in their day—but their day is past. Baseball can not be conducted in the future along the lines of the past.

Nor can baseball of tomorrow ever reach the heights of popularity that men-dreamed for it if the money element rules in the sordid way of the past. Baseball prlm'arily is a sportnot a commercial enterprise. It is such a splendid sport that it can stand up

to~1918 "at undes the injection of a certain amount On Set)- I of financial bacteria. But wh»n the money side of baseball becomes the vital part of the rrame—as It has been for years—baseball sickens.

Thos» who were leaders in baseball Insist that the war brought shout '*s death. That statement is true. But the fact remains that if "baseball had not ended due to governmental orders it would have died anyway. Baseball was much in the position of a man. dying fmm tuberculosis, who was accidentally killed by an automobile. That man would have died within a short time of disease if accidental death had not'eome to him.

Popnlartty Waniag.

Tf the war hadn't, killed baweball it would have perished just the same. The demise mitrht have been prolonged for a vear or two. But the end was inevitable. Long before the entrance of the United States into the war baseball's popularity was waning. The "dyed-In-Wool" fans were becoming disgusted and turning away to other diversion.

For manr years the baseball leaders, »n an efToirt to befuddle the public's viewpoint, have proclaimed loudly that baseball was a "national sport." But it wasn't under the reien of the National Commission. No better evidence that baseball wasn't a sport in the minds of the plavers and magnates can be presented than to point to the money row tbat came about in the world series of this year.

Baseball, as Johnson. Herrmann and the others conducted it. long atro ceased to be a sport. It became a monopolistic commercial enterprise. Tn the whole historv of baseball in the last ten years nothing can be shown to prove that anv man was involved in the game for other than monetary gain. Players plaved because they were paid for it— not for the love of the same. If they didn't get the money thev felt they d®sprved they went on strike. •'Get the nionev!-' that was the baseball slotran. And gettintr the money meant gouerlner the public for it. For a lonsr time the public endured it without nrotest. But there is a limit to nattence. It was nearly reached before the w*r landed a sleep wallop upon baseball's jaw.

Baseball after the war should he a same in which the suirit of sportsmanshin predominates: a pastime in which monev is hut a secondary consideration. The war is develonlne the American soldiers Into ball nlayers. Thev havp mado snort a relaxation both here and

France, and thev are getting much of It throtlp-li basehall. AH Changed Ifow,

Countless thousands of youngsters who never before were able to indulge to their hearts' content in baseball now are gettintr the chance. Before the war thev worked in offices or in shopb and their hours were such as to preclude their pi aylng baseball to any great extent. Furthermore, thousands of the youngsters lived in cities where ball fields were few. But. all is changed now.

Tho government Insists iipon. physical relaxation for its soldiers and sailors. Not onlv does it permit them time to Plav baseball, but it also provides them with fields in which the frame can be played. It eouips them with the necessary materials and puts them under competent instructors. The result Is that hundreds of thousands of youngsters are plavinsr the game today in a sunerlativo fashion.

When the war is over those boys, filled with the love of the national trame, wfll come back to America fit and ready to take their places on ball fields if thev so elect. They will be voungsters so enthused over baseball •hat they will b* irlad to play it for a small compensation.

And the result will be that the plav»rs of the future will be Eilad to work "or salaries that, in the nast. had appeared insignificant. Tt is more than Mlcely that the maximum In the years ^o come will be around S4.0fi0, TpVilo •he other salaries scale down to S1.3R0. »ven in tho big- lf-rimies for six Twonfhc' -••ork. And those bovs won't consider it Tork\ They will feel it an honor and nicasurc to plav the ame.

In such an era where sportsman shin **-Pl predominate: wh^re sportsmanship will crush out the commercial el^m^nt —those men who have brought distrust •o the fans through the years bv their financial squawkings. will find no room.

WOULD BE SOME SCRAP.

A New Tork writer is urglne a bailie hetweeri Mik* Gibbons and Jack De*rnsev. The scheme sounds good. Gibbons h?s put on a lot of weitrht. and while older than he used to be. has always taken rond care of himself. In a short fiarht Mike should make things interesting for the title claimant.

U. Prepares For Scarlet

tJliGOM 1MGTON', "ind., Oct. 14.— Preparation for the game with Wabash Saturday was begun by Indiana Monday afternoon, the work consisting only of the fundamentals. Coach Stiehm is termined that the inexperienced men with whom he is working shall be thoroughly grounded in the rudiments of the game, and for that reason is devoting much time to tackling, blocking, falling on the ball. etc.

Quarterback Faust, who was knocked out in the Kentucky State fracas, reported yesterday. Right Knd Harris is not yet rid of his Charley horse and Quarterback Kvle will likely remain in the hospital another week or ten daydhwitb Spanish flu. Scrimmage with the freshmen team Vill be held on Wednesday.

Arrangements for the Camp Taylor game at Indianapolis Saturday, Nov. 2, will be perfected tomorrow at Louisville by F. K. Raschig, of Indianapolis, who was sent there to represent Indiana and look after the details. Plans for the other out-of-town game in November. which will likely be with Kentucky State, will be taken up later.

TO DEFEND THREE-RAIL TOGA.

Kieckhefe** Playe McCourt At Chicago, Oct. 23-25. Augie Kieckhefer fcure believes in giving all the three-eusliloned billiard stars a chance to cop thfccrown from him. His next opponent wui be Charles McCourt. the Cleveland challenger. This match will be played at the Klks' club, Chicago, on the nights of Oct. 23, 24 and 25. Robert L. Cannefax, former champion, has been selected by both parties as the referee of the contest.

Kieckhefer recently defeated Charles Otis, of New York, after being behind in tlie first night's play. Much interest has been aroused over the contest and standing room at the Klks* club is likely to be at a premium. Augie has held the title for almost a year and many of the fans are expecting to see him drop it one of these days, for the holder of the three-cushioned championship In these days doesn't get to keep it very long.

Cannefax was the referee of the last championship match and did such great work that he is looked upon as an ideal arbiter. His keen eye and quick calling of shots make him particularly desirable to players as well as spectator*.
