HOLDOUT CLUBS FACE TASK IN OPPOSINGMOVE Johnson Ranks Expected to Break as Progressives Indicate They Mean Business. MINORS’ AID IMPORTANT CHICAGO, Oct. 20.—Organized baseball today awaited a declaration of peace or war from the five American League club- owners who have not acted on the “Lasker plan’’ for reorganization of the game. Refusal of the owners of the Cleveland, St. Louis, Washington, Detroit and Philadelphia clubs to sanction the work of the National League in joint meeting with three American Leaguer magnates will cause renewal of warfare, baseball experts here predicted today. The eleven magnates who have abrogated the national baseball agreement and determined to organize a twelve- 4 club league if necessary, expressed confidence “the lojal five” will accept the “Lasker plan” before-Nov. 1. John McGraw. part owner of the New York Giants find Barney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburgh club, declared there was nothing for the five American League clubs to do but join the organization^, “They can't run a league with five or six teams,” McGraw declared. “If they attempt a legal fight or another battle they are up against the millions, of William G. Wrlgley, Jr., and other multimillionaires who have declared for l the new deal.” ✓ John Heydler, president of the National League, pointed out a number of advantages a twelve-club league would have over the present system. “The trips would be shorter and less frequent and cities like Chicago and New York would have the advantage of a continuous city series, which would be ■ure to create considerable Interest.” The twelve-Club league would not mean

Stcueham, part owner of the New York Giants. -We had a twelve-dub league in the late ,’os and the same arrangement for series play could be used,” Stonehain Mid. “This would be to divide the season, the winners of the first liaif of the season play. ng the winners of the last half. This ha's been need effectively recently In some minor leagues.” Nothing definite awarding a “civilian” comm.ssion to control basehnll affairs has been done, according to Harry Krasee. of the Boston Red Sox. Kraxee indicated he favored one commissioner 'from the Bast, one from the wi a a third named Jointly by the nftn.rs and majors or picked by the other two commissioners. All magnates agreed the commission must be composed of men intimate with the technicalities of baseball, but without financial interests. That the minor leaguers readily will agree to the “Lasker plan” was the opinion of major league owners. A. D. Lasker, “father” of the# plan, declared sixty indorsements had'been received from teams in tigs American Association, International and other minor circuits.

Baseball today is believed to be facing the gravest political crisis in Its history. With the big league magnates split into two factions and the gauntlet virtually flung down by both sides, there is the possibility of an upheaval occurring that will either wreck or Bave the game. Thu eleven magnates who met in Chicago evidently are in deadly earnest. They are not bluffing apparently. They will do just as they said they would do if the “defiant five” fail to ccme over, accord, ing to the bet information available . IJhe Ban Johnson faction has three courses-open $o It. It can join hands/with the eleven who stand solidly arrayed for the formation>af anew government for baseball; it can form a league of its o\yn or it can get out of baseball. What Is the Johnson faetion'gping to do? The answer •'Will come some* time rieXt week, when big Ban and his colleagues. meet in St. Louis. v A good many baseball men believe that there will be a break ip the ranks of the "faithful five,” or that the granting of -Some concessions by them will result

RIVAL COLLEGE GRID ELEVENS / SET FOR PLAY Hoosier Teams in Ffeur Battles * of More Than Usual Interest. * BUTLER* VS. pARLHAM While Indiana's Saturday football card is free from wbat might be called' dazzling feature contests, it calls for a series of keen rivalry games among Hoosier combinations. . Butler meets Earlham on Irwin field, Notre Dame meets Valno--' ralso at Notre Dame, Wabash meets Rose Poly at Tqrre Haute and Franailu meets De Pauw at Greencnstle. And, taken as a whole, this Is about as interesting a card as the fans could \ ask for. Indianapolis Is taking more in- j tcrest In the Butler-Earlham game than : It has taken In a Butler affair for se.v- i eral seasons. Coach Pat Pace evidently j has drilled his Christian athletes Into j a clever football machine this year, and*| Indianapolis is strong for him. Thu large totals the Irvington players have . stacked up against Hanover and Wilmington in their last two games is proof . that they know the goal route better j than any Butler team of recent years, and Indianapolis is going- to turn out strong for the rivalry battle with Earr- i ham Saturday. Page’s popularity with Butler students will be doubled If he succeeds in producing a cpinbiuatlon that can down the Quakers, arid Page Is pushlug his men hard lu order to turn the trick.

ROCKNE WANTS BIG TOTAL. , Notre Dame-Valpo battles of the past bave always been more or less of the “hot competition" variety, but when the Irish tackle the Valpo athletes on Cartier field, Saturday, they will have u double purpose In view. First, to defeat V no. Second, to tack up a larger total than the 21 to.O score registered by Harvard In the recent “mystery game.” The Valparaiso are admitted to havo a better chance with Notre Dime this year than ever before, but Coach Rockne is confident that his battlers will get away with a big total victory The train that carries the Wabash eleven ta the scene of buttle with Hose Poly will bear some of the earmarks of an ambujence train coming back from a battle front. Wabash Is a battered and bruised squad, as u result of the Chicago game last Saturday, hut Cos. h Vaughn and his Scarlet warrior* are not letting these difficulties hinder l heir preparations for their tilt with theta Terre Haute enemies. Y BE PAUW STOCK GOES UP AGAIN. The return of “Stew'* Norris, qtfhrte* back, doubled the stock of f<9 I‘auw confidence of a victory over Frankßn in the jtnqboree cardtyL at Greencastle. Coach Buss instituted several new plays In yesterdays drill and ulso spent much time lu Coaching the forward pass throwers and receivers. Saturday will be observed aa homecoming day by Butler and De Pauw.
