JOHNSON FACTION WEAKENED WHEN LOWER LEAGUES MOBILIZE TO BACK REORGANIZATION

MINORS LINING UP IN SUPPORT OF NEW PLAN Baseball Progressives Receive Encouraging Messages From Magnates Over Country. A. A. MEN INDORSE IT By HENRY FARRELL.. I'nited Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK, Oct. 21.—1n tbe hurried dash for the support of the minors, John A. Heydler and the eleven clnb owners who follow him seem to have won them over to their Idea of new baseball. At present only two courses are open to Ban Johnson and h's fnltbfnl five. They must either join the Heydler faction before Nov. 1 or start on a quest o# tfcree new clubs so fill thei* league. Without the support of the minors this would be almost hopeless. - • Three new clubs would require at the very least forty-five players, and the five clubs remaining with Johnson In the present Controversy are not sufficiently fortified in power and numbers to divide their strength. It therefore seems that the odds In a fight to a, decision will go upon the team that the minors fall in behind. Two minor league heads have joined Heydler In his campaign for a change in baseball's government An messages to the writer. , WANTS IT WITH RESERVATIONS. “The majority of the minors favor the •Lasker plan' with a few reservations. I am strong for Comiskey nnd clean ball,” J. W. Morris, president of the League, wired today. “I do not believe the American League should be disorganized or disrupted,” wired WtUi.im H. McCarthy, president of the Pacific Const League, who Is fighting crooked baseball In Air own league. “But I do strongly advocate a ‘get-together’ wulch will eliminate the differences qf the past and produce a plan whether It be the Lasker or the present agreement changed to remedy whatever Ills that exist,” “Concerted action will be taken by the minors when the major league committee presents its plan at our annual meeting in Kansas City Nov. 8,0, 10 and 11,” aald J. H. Farrell, secretary of the National Association. v i The National Leagne chief has been i assured of'aupport by other'minor league heads, including Walter Rose, Florida State League; M. A. Cantillon, South Dakota League; Frank, Milev, Weetern Canada League; J. V. Jamieson, Blue Ridge League and J. C. Lechter. Western Association. Although Thomas Hickey, president of the Aeneriean Association, has not expressed himself, his sfand may be influenced by the following of his club owners who have wired their indorsement to Heydlfr; William C. Smith, Indianapolis; Otto lorchert, Milwaukee; ■ Roger, Bsesnahan, IVledo; George Muelbach, Kansas City; GeOrge K. Belden, Minneapolis and W. W. Kneblecamp, Louisville. Scores of messages have been received from others among the minors and ama- l teurs. % , CAN’T UNDERSTAND BAN’S ATT IT Ll> E. Colonel J. A. Ruppert, part owner of the New York American League Club, arrived home today from the baseball organization meeting at Chicago. He said that he was perftctly satisfied that his conferees In the American League and the eight National League club own- ; ers whom they met at Chicago were on the right road to eliminate disagreeableneea in baseball and put the national game on u thoroughly substantial footing. ”1 can not understand,” said he, “why President Johnson and five of tbe American League club owners failed to at ten* the meeting to which all of us were lnvt&ed. There Is no plan or intent to force Johnson out of the league—no more than there is to oust President Heydler from the National League. “The plan is simply to place baseball natter the jurisdiction of a board of con- j troi, mado up of three men of Irreproachable reputation, none of whom has any financial Interest In the game. Every- j where I went within tbe last ten days. : both South and West. I found such a plan favo-ed by the patrons of the game. “If the other five American League clubs do not come In by Nov. 1, we will go ahead and establish a twelve-club league. We will meet at Chicago on Monday, Nov. 8, and then go on to Kansas City to attend the annual meeting of the National Assoei-itlon of Snnor and lay our plans before that organlza- j tion.” Underworld ‘Grapevine’ Tips Baseball and Race Gamblers Off to Flee NEW YORK. Oct. 21.—The coterie of local gamblers that have infested baseball and racing, and who are credited as being the ones who “fixed” the 1910 world's scries between the White Sox and Cincinnati, have fled the Jurisdiction of New York. No more do -they hang about the racs tracks. Where they passed money to susceptible Jockeys to “pull” their mounts, or about Times Square hotels, where thev were wont to dine evenings and plan their campaigns to fleece those who like to wager money on the outcome of atblettc or sporting events. In the underworld there Is what known as “the grapevine.” It is a wireless maintained by those who violate the laws to notify them If they are being watched or liable to be nrrested. In this particular case this means of eommunl- j cation must have sent word to the ones who ran the now famous gambling syndicate that things were getting warm In j New York and that the grand Jury was likely to hand down papers that mean that one must go before a Judge in the I higher criminal courts to answer serious charges. Arnold Rothsteln. the king of gamblers, j pent out word that he was "retiring ’ as I a gambler. Later one of the most ex- j pens’ve lawyers in the country announced Arnold Rothstein had retained him as counsel and gave out a statement that , Rothsteln had gone away for a “vaea- i tion." Up to this time Rothsteln. j partners and henchmen, had a meeting. place la a delicatessen store on Broad- i way, near Seventy-Second street, early j every morning. This was abandoned, j however, and Nat Evans, “Curly” Bennett and others of the Rothsteln clique, with Abe Attel, no longer around Gotham.

ELWOOD, Ind.. Oct 21.—More than 1,000 football fan* saw the Elwood High School tenra defeat Greenfield High jlcbool by a 47-to-3 score here-yesterday afternoon. ' f Using a clever assortment of forward passes and split interference plays, the Elwood" aggregation swept through the defense of th£ Gold and Blacji eleven for seven touchdowns, and five goals were kicked following the scoring of the touchdowns. z' V The sting of a shut-oct was saved the Greenfield team by the toe of Left End *Strickler. It wes early in the second period that the Greenfield eleven showed best and tbe visitors bloke through tbe defense of the Crimson eleven for a series of gains. Then Elwood held, and It war. fourth down with eight; yards to gain, when Strlckler dropped back for his try at goal. Standing on the thlrty-flve-yard line, he made a pretty, drop kick from a difficult angle and scored Greenfield’s three -points. Blume, the tall Elwood half back, made the most sensational run of the game, covering fifty yards Ground Greenfield's end. Forward passes, Blume to Konold, coupled with the line smashes of Lewis, save Elwood" mdst of its ground. The llwood line men broke through and recovered the bail twice when the Greonfle.d center made bad passes to his back fleid. The Crimson seemed to take advantage of every missplay of the visiters. Greenfield never quit fighting, but seemed unable to solve the overhead passes of the Elwood team and when the Gold and Black line would hold the Crimson backs shot forward passes to the Elwood ends for big gains.

Hall at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Pat Page, director of athletics at Butler College, and the athletic committee of the Chamber of Commerce, had their plans prepared for au effort to gain the tijg meet. if this city wins the award Butler will stage It, while the Chamber of Commerce, as well as every other big organization iu the city, will hejp out ,ln every was possible. MAYOR POINTS OUT REASONS. My r Charles 'V.. Jewett and the Rev. George Richardson were to go before the ■members of the athletic board at the meeting today and make an appeal for the tournament to be held iu this city. The mayor expressed the opintor- that the basketball situation In ItdUna Is booming and that to continue holding the title tournaments In tbe smaller cities of the State is only to hinder the progress of the game. / Indianapolis has better facilities for i handling the meet than any other city |ln the State. First, it is ceritriliy located, which means a big saving on the railroad fafe of the teams and fans. Then it is the only city In Indiana with a building large enough to handle such a j large cfowd as the tournament is now drawing. Indiana University representatives bid 1 for the tournament at the meeting here today, while Purdue also naked that It be held at Lafayette. These two institutions have divlffM the honor of stugiug : the event In previous years, but for the t past- two seasons they have both fallen j Sown on the teak of handling Yha crowds j because of insufficient facilities. ALL CONVENIENCES AVAILABLE HERE.

The iioti-iut> rested parties now feel that It Is Indianapolis' turn to show its hand. They feel that tho Coliseum la . the one and only spot left la the state large enough Cb accommodate the fans, j and that Indianapolis hotels and rooming J houses have everything backed off the boards as far as “all the comforts of i home” facilities are concerned. Karl V'. Ammerman of Manual, athletic representative of the Fourth High! School district, has announced that the next Indianapolis sectional wilt be staged at tbe Coliseum, as Tomlinson Hail is too small. Tbe sectional play will necessitate the overhauling of the Coliseum aud the erectldn of a playing floor Tbe Coliseum could be left lq this shape for another 1 few days, w hen it would be Un!f for tie State finals. Thus, the cost of staging the meet here would not be one cent more than It wouldrb*- to stage it at Bloomington or Lafayette I-st year at Blootnjugton hundreds es fans were forced to stand outside tbe gymnasium while their farorttos fought their championship battles. The same way at Lafayette the year before. Ticket scalpers also bobbed up st Bloomington, student fans being charged ns high a* $3 and f for one-day tickets. Many Indianapolis fans and student* who Journeyed to Bloomington last year were unable to gkln admission to the Tech games at any price, and at night they were forced to walk the for lack ! of sleeping quarters.
