BIG LEAGUE TURMOIL RESULTS IN WARRING SIDES RACING FOR MINOR LEAGUE SUPPORT

LEAGUE SPLIT INDICATES WAR 0F BANK ROLLS Twelve-Club Faction Seems to Have Financial Edge on Johnson’s Men. LANDIS AS NEW RULER Wartime Big Leagues

NATIONAL lEAGCIS. Chicago—Two club*. New York—Twa clubs. Boston—Two dubs. Philadelphia. Cincinnati. St. Louis. Brooklyn. Pittsburgh. One franchise open. AMERICAN LEAGUE. Detroit. Philadelphia. Cleveland. St. Louis. Washington. New clubs proposed for New York, Boston and Chicago. BY LUTHER A. HUSTON, international News Staff Correspondent. CHICAGO, Nov. 9.—Baseball's third big war is on in earnest today. Combatants •re marshaling their forces for the first skirmishes of what is declared will be a fight to the finish. The first brush of the conflict, following the declaration of war when eight clubs of the National League and three 1 of the American League decided late yesterday to proceed with the organization of anew twelve-elub major league to be ! governed it accordance with the Lasker | plan, was to take place at Kansas City today. Each side started early to maneuver for the advantage. A committee from the new National j League body, consisting of Garry Herrmann of Cincinnati, Barney Dreyfuss of ! Pittsburgh, Charles H. Ebbets of ] Brooklyn and Col. Jacob Ruppert of the ] New York Americans, went to Kansas City to submit to the minor league moguls the proposals upon which the new organization will bid for minor league support. Ban Johnson and his followers likewise sent emissarieg to Kansas City to seek the support of the minors. LANDIS MADE HUGE OFFER. While the warring magnates are seeking to bring about an alliance with the smaller leagues, Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis of this city has under consideration an offer to become head of organized baseball at a salary of $50,000 per year. He has been offerer! a seven- ; year contract. Except to state that he considers the offer an honor and to say j emphatically that be has not declined, 1 Judge Landis has not intimated what his decision will be. He has declared j that the matter is too important to permit hasty action and that he will give it careful consideration. Even in its early stages the battle has become one of bank-rolls. Indications are that the new National League organization is preparing to unbelt a robust roll that will provide the fighting organization with a vast amplitude of I the sinews of war. The new organization numbers some of the wealthiest men in the Nation among its backers. Among them are William Wrigley, J. Ogden Ar mour, Colonel Jacob Ruppert, Charles A. Comiskey and Charles A. Stoueham. The financial resources of these men are j decidedly extensive.

Ban Johnson and his band of dissenters afe also preparing for a prolonged and bitter fight. Their course of action has not been definitely determined, but It Is considered likely that long drawn out legal proceedings will follow. Johnson has a twenty-year contract as president of the American League, and the withdrawal from the league of the Chicago, New York and Boston clubs gives him a basis, it Is declared, for legal action. TWELFTH CITY 18 IN DOUBT. There is much speculation today as to what city will make the twelfth of the dozen-club league which has been formed. The New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, St. Louis. Boston and Brooklyn National League clubs and the Chicago. New York and Boston American League clubs are charter members of the new organization. It was declared that the door would be held open a ‘reasonable length of time" for one of the dissenting American League clubs to enter the new organlaatlon. The first one to apply will be admitted. If none of the "solid fire’ come In, a twelfth club will be placed in some city that will not Interfere with any minor league club. Ban Johnson, it was declared today, plsns to put new clubs In Boston, New York and Chicago. If this is done he will hare an eight-dub league, ea now. St. Loula, Philadelphia, Detroit. Cleveland and Washington are the cities represented in the group that Johnson controls. \ It is the belief of many that the minor leagues hold the key to the present baseball situation. The eagnerness with which the warring magnates hastened to bid for minor league support confirms this. The new National League will seek to win favor with the minors by offering them the privilege of naming one member of the National Commission. The Lasker pIBD, which the new league has adopted, provides for a civilian board of control, consisting of three men. none of whom aha!! have a financial interest in baseball. Judge Landis has been offered the chairmanship, the minor league will be asked to apppoint the second member and the third is to be named later. The chairman will serve for seven years, the second member sos blx years and the third member for five years. HEVDLKK STAYS AS LEAGUE HEAD. The head of the new National League will be John A. Heydier, who was president of the old National League, which expired when the new organization was formed. Possibilities that the warfare might develop Into a fight for star players were ■•en today. In the American I/eague are such stars as George Sisler, Trig Speaker, Ty Cobb, Jim Bagby, Stanley Coreleskie. Walter Johnson and many others. If the war becomes bitter efforts may be made to entice these stars Into the new league by means of fat contracts. So long as the war continues It means that the world's series is at an end. Obviously the new National League will not recognize the American League as n contender, lienee with only one big recognized organization there can be no more post-season clashes. This situation may lead to a revival of the Temple Cup aeries plan of the original National League. Then the two leading clubs of the National League played for the Temple cup, emplematle of the championship, at the close of the season.

Buddy Ensor Season’s Big Jockey Sensation Buddy Ensor Is the jockey sensation of the turf season of 1920. The spectacular riding of this lad and his list of victories stamp him as such. Ensor's real name is Lavelle. He is 21. He was born in Baltimore, Md., and, due to the fact that his father owned thoroughbreds, began riding when a tiny youngster. He became a professional jockey five years ago. He rode first for Gny Bedwell. It was not until 1918. however, that he became a star. That year he joined Tom Shannon’s outfit, riding in the West. The next spring at Hot Springs, he starred again, winning eight events out of eleven times up. He has since ridden for several wellknown owners. Enlarge Yale Bowl NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. .—The seating capacity of the Yale bowl for the Tale-Harvard football game on Nov. 20 will be 73,000. The Yale Athletic Association has begun the erection of temporary wooden seats inside the masonry of the bole and a tier of temporary seats has been completed around the top of the enclosure.

MINORS HOLD THE KEY

After roosting for years In the "peanut gallery" of baseball, the minor leagues suddenly find themselves ushered with pomp to a box seat, with the prima donnas singing to them. With the American League on the rocks by the secession of New York, Chicago and Boston, and anew twelve-club league In the Incubator, the minors find themselves in the particularly pleasing position of demanding—come see me. The field generals of both factions in baseball’s newest war were rushing to Kansas City today, where the "little fellows” were to start an annual meeting in the brightest, light

Baseball Facts Two major leagues form new alignments as a result of difference over reorganization of controlling system of the game. New York, Chicago and Boston clubs of the American League join the National League, under John Heydler, who proposes twelve-club organization. Detroit, Washington, Philadelphia, Cleveland and Bt. Louis, American League clubs, stay with Ban Johnson. Heydler league votes for adoption of Lasker plan of baseball control, meaning control of game by ‘•civilian” board, or board made up of men not connected with baseball. Judge Landis of Chicago offered pol tion ns head of new board at salary of $50,009 a year. Judge Landis has taken the offer made by the twelve-club league leaders under advisement. At his present salary he would get $52,500 in the next seven years. If he accepts the baseball offer he will get 5350,000. National League, now consisting of eleven clubs, Indicates it will place Its twelfth team In either Cleveland or Defruit American League of five clubs indicate* It will refill It* eight-club circuit by promoting new cuib* in New York, Chicago and Boston. Both new leagues bid for support of minors, which seem to hold balance of power to make or break either major organization. Player war threatens as result of split, with each side commanding services of numerous stars. Minor league territory not to be invaded for new clubs, according to announcements of warring leaders. The major league split is the culmination of the fight being made on Byron Bancroft Johnson, president of the American Leas e, by the National League and the three members of the Johnson league who are opposed to him. The baseball war, with the resultant new league, is directly traceable to the evoosure of the “fixed” 1910 world series. .vs a result of the split there will be no more world’s scries of .the customary kind.

MOWUN6

McCollum of the Daily Times quintet was the big individual in Ream's No. 1 circuit last night. He had a brace of double centuries and his 232 was the beat one-game effort on the board*. The rest of the Tlme9 shooters failed to follow McCollum's lead nnd the Gus Habics had an easy time winning three. Oolitic Stones made the Kreis Transfers look sick In the third game, but the first and second rounds were Krela plcnica. The Brunswicks had lots of consistency sad Wadley Company couldn’t win a match. Brunswick* got 902 in their first game. It * was another Nordyke night in the Manufacturers' loop. Pauley, Haislup and Andrews connected for whopper counts and the Marmons stacked up record totals to beat the National Autos. Nepple and Henderson got double centuries for the I’rest-O combination, which won two from the Robbins Body. Bemis beat Holcomb St Hoke when Ward outshot Holshur.

BOXING

LIGHTWEIGHT TOURNEY. NEW YORK, Nov. 9. —Selection of six lightweight boxerA to fight through a series of elimination bouts to decide which will meet Benny Leonard for the lightweight title here on Nov. 26. was the subject of a conference yesterday between Tex Rickard, promoter, and Billy Gibsou, Leouard’s manager. Among the possible aspirants to bo considered were Lew Tendler of Philadelphia, Willie Jyckson, who recently defeated Eddie Fitvsommons; Johnny Dundee of New York; Joe Welling of Chicago, and Ritchie Mitchell of Milwaukee. WINNER TAKES NIEW BELT. NEW YORK, Nov. o.— Mike ODowd, former middleweight champion and Jeff Smith of Bayonne, N. J„ will appear in the main event of fifteen rounds tonight at Madison Square Garden. Tex Rickard, promoter, has declared lie will present the victor with a belt emblematic of tbe championship, in view of the refusal of Johnny Wilson to meet any first-class middleweight. ONE GOING, OTHER COMING. DETROIT, Nov. 9. —George Chip, onetime middleweight champion of the world, and Ted Block, middleweight champion of Michigan, fought ten rounds to a draw here last night. Neither fighter at any stage of the game was distressed work of the other. Chip has seen

of prominence in history. Both faction* are sure to make concessions to the minors in the desire to get their support. Instead of wrapping a pair of choking hands around their throat, after the fashion of the past, the major league factions will bo smoothing their bucks and asking "What con wc do for you? Nothing is too good.” Barring the decision of the courts in the legal battle that Ban Johnson threatens to start to get possession of Babe Hath, Eddie Collins, Ray Schulk, Harry Hooper, Dick Kerr and other stars, the minors hold the weights that will swing the balance one way or another.

Landis Asks Time to Consider Offer as Baseball Leader Widely-Known Jurist, Always a Fan, Indicates Hefll Accept Important Post. CHICAGO. Nov. 9.—Judge Kenesnw Mountain Landis refused list night to give a definite answer as to whether or not lie will accept the chairmanship of the new Nation?! Baseball Commission, a post which would make him the dominant factor In the national aport of America, but the famous Jurist indicated he considers the offer of the position an honor to which he owes thoughtful aud serious reflection. “A thing of that kind is something that I cannot decide in a hurry,” said Judge Landis. “It is a big thing, it is a big Job. I deeply appreciate the honor which these gentlemen have conferred upon me in offering me the chairmanship, hut I told them 1 would have to give them my answer later. “It is something that must be given long and serious consideration, both from the standpoint of the game itself, which 1 love, and from my own personal standpolnt. It Is a Job that would require and deserve a man’s full time and energy and the best thought lie la capahle of giving it.” “Will you give your decision within a week's time?” be wan asked. “1 cannot say as to that," replied the Judge. "The gentlemen mentioned no specific time ands merely told them I would give them my answer later.” "You didn't give them the lmpreasion you would decline the offer?” "By no means 1” exclaimed the Judge, with" spirit. “Emphaticallv no' 1 Just can't give an answer of that kind in a hurry, that's all.”

Sidelights at K. C. KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Noy. I*e Fobl and Clarence Rowland are gossip's favorites for the St. Louis Browns' managership. George Tebeau. former owner of the Kansas City Blues, passed the word that Denver Is ripe for a Western League franchise. Thirteen young players from the Weetern League will go South with the majors next spring—is record. Larry Sutton, Brooklyn scout, and Secretary Bancroft of the Reds were among baseball's old-timers mixing in the lobbies. Like all the conventions the delegates had to have badges, programs and credentials. Harry Neely, Chicago New* writer, looked over the hotel pressrooom with Its eight typewriters, plenty of copy paper, chairs, messenger call boxes and announced It as a "world series layout." Swapping opinions as to the outcome of the baseball war. the minor magnates are finding time to talk about trades nnd sales of players. The outbreak of the war. however, will probably put a temfiorary quietus on any deals that are n the making, for when It comes to players the minors are not exactly sure of where they stand, despite the fact that the rival major league factions are expected to respect territorial rights and player contract*. One rumor—and a well defined one. too, saya that before the coming playing season, the Chicago White Sox will have anew manager. Baseball men from Chicago who are well posted were responsible for this report. No explanation as to why Owner Comlskey nnd Kid Gleason should come to the parting of the ways was given. Owner Smith and Manager Jack nendrlck* of the Indianapolis American Association Club are here huslly engaged In holding conferences with the Idea In mind of scouting up more tslent for the 1920 Hoosler team. From what little Information gleaned from Smith's moves It Is believed that he stands in favor of the National League stand.

Stoeltlng went from 111 to 206 for the Premier Motors in the Commercial circuit. Schott came near breaking into the double century field twice. Farmer of the Taggart Bakers was the boy who set the pace. He crashed the wood for counts of 228, 207 and 227 for a total of CtJ2. Lyons of the Ballards got away fine with 223 and kept up with the big fellows the rest of the evening. More and Cooper shot their heads off to bring the Bell Telephones a brace of wins over the Martin-Parry five. Citizens Gas went big with a lot of 900 counts, trouncing the Vonnegut Machines each and every time. Mounts and Alberts gave the Interstate Cars enough wood to buy three wins over the Standard Gils. Boyle of the Midwest Engines shot two double hundred scores after opening with hardly more than nothing. Midwest beat the Marmons three times.

his days and Block’s have not arrived, it was obvious. HON CURLEY IN DRAW. CINCINNATI, Nov. 9.—Don Curley, of Indianapolis, and Frankie Nessler, cf Cincinnati, fought ten hard rounds to a draw here last night. Curley was the agreßSor and had Nessler bleeding freely from cuts opened up over bis eyes. Bud Taylor, of Terre Haute, won from Whltey Morrett, Columbus, in eight rounds. SHANNON BEATS LAWLER. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 9.—Eddie Shannon, Pacific Coast lightweight, decisively outpointed Jack Lawler, Omaha, in eight rounds here last night. TENDLER STOPS KELLY. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9.—Lew Tendler knocked out Harlem Eddie Kelly In the fifth roundMiere last night.

CRIMSON CREW IN SHAPE FOR SATURDAY TILT Coach Stiehm Has Well-Oiled Machine to Send at Notre Dame. IRISH WORKING HARD — Notre Dame-Indiana

Indiana and Notre Dame stand even in the number of gamea won and lost. Each has won four of nine games played and onfe game In 1907 was a 0-to-0 tie. Indiana has the advantage in points, having scored 64 to tbe Irishmen’s 50. The athletic rivalry of the two schools dates back to 1898. From then until 1008 each played the other practically every Tear. Relations were suspended from that time until last year, when they were resumed in the game at Indianapolis. Only three of the nine games have ever been won by the margin of a single touchdown. The following is the list of games and ■cores: 1898— Indiana, 11; Notre Dame, 5. 1900—Indiana, 6; Notre Dame, 0. HOl—lnciana, 5; Notre i'nrae, 18. 1902—Indiana, 5; Notre Dame, 11. 1905 — Indiana, 22; Notre Dame, 5. 1906 Indiana, 12; Notre Dame, 0. 1907 Indiana, 0; Notre Dame, 0. 1908— Indiana, 0; Notre Dame, 11. 1919 —Indiana, 3; Notre Dame, 16. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Nov. 9.—Coach ‘Jumbo” Stiehm and hla Crimson footballers are prepared to give the Rockne Irish their one big battle of the season when the two teams get together at Washington park, Indianapolis, Suturday afternoon. Seldom, if ever before, was an Indiana team better prepared to knock the hopes of the Notre Dame athletes into a cocked hat than it 1s this season. Indiana aud Notre Dame have clashed when Indiana probably had more individual stars than It has this year, but It la doubtful if ever a Crimson team was more willing, fought with more bitterness or with more clockwork precision than these athletes whom Coach Stiehm has under his wing at this time. ’J he varsity ran through a light signal drill yesterday and today they were to be opposed in scrimmage by the freshmen, who were ready to uncork the tricks that Rockne's men have been using this year. CRIMSON MAY SPRING SURPRISE. Indiana has always been more or less of a “late season" team. Time and again tbe Crimson gridiron warrolrs have gone into late contests with the odds heavily against them, only to come out victorious. For example, look what they did to Syracuse last season, when the betting odds were 8 to 1 against them. Therefore. Rockne and hl clnn mav well fear the proteges of "Jumbo” la this coming tilt. The Indiana defnsive machine is ready to rub some of the shine off of the Notre- Dame hero, Geyrge Gipp, and the rest of the Irish back field Saturday. Gipp, Wynne Mobardt. Brandy an l Barry have performed in truly remarkable style against strong opposition this season, but they will run Into something new, something dlffereut. when they try to puncture the Crimson fine, or skirt uround the ends. Indiana's second line of defense is also ready to check Glpp's famous forward passes.

NO CRIPPLES IN N. D. CAMP NOTRE DAME, Ind., Nor. 9—Barring accidents In scrimmage this week. Coach Itockne will have every regular on tbs Notre Dame football eleven ready for action against Indians at Indianapolis Saturday. Every varsity man was at his position in signal drill yesterday and there was nothing to show that the team had battled Purdue forty-eight hours before. The Nebraska and Army games were considered big affulr* by Itockne ami bis athletes, but they fell short In attention when compared with that the Irish contingent la paying the coming tilt with Stiehm’t crew. Indiana and Notre Dame will take the field with the game count even, which Is sufficient proof that neither side has any too much advantage when these teams meet. Notre Dame Is preparing for a hard battle, hut Notre Dame is confident of a victory. Football fans who are lucky enough to witness the Notre Dame team in action Saturday are going to agree with the critics of the East that Rockne thlß year has one of the best elevens ever. Fumbles marred the brilliancy of the team somewhat when Nebraska. Army and Purdue were met. Saturday, however, there will be no fumbles that are not bneked by good excuses. Rockne is pounding the'danger of these errors Into his players this week, working them hard in an effort to check the fault nnd threatening to Jerk the man responsiblo for the eandlot drawback. George Glpp. who directed a smart aerial attack agnlnat Indiana laat year, Is ready to show the fans a lot more stuff this time, the kind that won him n home with fans and writers In the East, or wherever be has played this season. Larson, center, and Smith, guard, have shaken off their injuries and are ready to hit the ball agoln.

Indoor Drill for Local Eleven Tomorrow Night Manager Joe Canning will send his Indianapolis football clubbers through their regular drill tomorrow night, working In the gymnasium of a local athletic club lnstoud of at Fall Creek and College avenue. The locals face a strong opponent In Alexandria next Sunday, at Washington Park, and their leader orders all men to report at hla office at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow evening so that they can get Into practice early. Kog Klein, star full back of the Purple and White team, has developed water on the knee since hts injury in the Munde gnme and has been ordered by hla physienn to keep avny from the gridiron tho remainder of the season , If the Ferndale eleven can trim the Mapleton team Sunday, It Is probable that the West Side nthletes will be given a chance to lower the colors of the Canning crew Thanksgiving day or the following Sunday. The Ferndalea have challenged the Indianapolis grldatera to a gnme, but Manager Canning has insisted that they get rid of all other strong local teams before he accepts.

Wabash Ready for Huge Crowd at Big Home-Coming Battle CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind.. Nov. 9. Football fans for hundreds of miles around this vicinity will receive a rare treat in the Wabush-Ivalnmazoo scrap, which will be staged on historic Ingalls field here next Friday. College athletic authorities are making elaborate preparations to receive Wabash alumni, former students and persons interested in the institution. Robert J. Vaughan, athletic director, and Prof. J. A. Crdgwall, chairman of the athletic committee. have received many responses from alumni Indicating their intention of being present for the mammoth Scarlet home-coming, which will extend throughout the week-end. From the standpoint of real football, the Kalamaioo tilt is expected to develop/ many of tbe finer points of the game. “Bill” Spaulding's combination has played some great football this year with Michigan and Indiana teams, and when they meet Wabash they will be against an eleven which has been traveling in unusually fast company this year.

PURDUE WANTS EVEN BREAK LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 9.—Conch Scanlon is working overtime with hla football gladiators this week in an effort to whip them inlb shape for .their game with Northwestern Saturday. The following Saturday I’urdue meets Indiana, and they are determined to win both these games and finish with a fiftyfifty break in the Conference percentage column. —-,Xbe men who faced Notre Dame Saturday came through the tilt without any serious injury, and the Ilne-up will be bolstered this week by the addition of several players who have been on the sick Hat. The Krestmen ran through the Northxrestern playa yesterday and today were to use them in scrimmage with the varsity. Coach Doan is pushing hla yearlings hard and la confident that they will afford the regulars some real sessions this week. Alleged Centre Charges Arouses Georgia Tech ATLANTA, Nov. 9.—Georgia Tech and Centre College may not meet on the football gridiron next year, Dr. J. It. Crenshaw, athletic director at Tech, laid Monday in announcing that he had sent a telegram to Professor Frank S. Rainey, faculty chairman of athletics ut Centre, asking whether newspaper article criticizing the playing of the Tech team in the recent game between the two institutions "represent feelings and opinions of your college."

BUTLER TAKES FIRST JOURNEY Play Final I. C. A. L. Game With Rose at Terre Haute Saturday. With the I. C. A. L. championship practically sewed up, Coach Pat Pagt will take hia Butler Bulldogs to Terrs Haute Saturday to take the last stitch, Rose Poiy furnishing the opposition. This is the only out-of-town contest on the 1920 Butler card and a large percentage of the student body will make the trip with the team. If the Butler warriors can play football as good away from home as they can on Irwin field they will hare little to fear regarding the outcome of Saturday’s game, for ths dope is all in their favor. Franklin a week ago Saturday, beat Rose in a onesided game, aud then Butler stopped Franklin. PAGE DRIVES MEN HARD. With the season's goal thus just around the corner and within easy access Page has no Intention of letting his men lose out on the last lap, and the athletes are being sent through a week of practice as strenuous as any held this season. The big problem that confronts Page, and which must be solved before Saturday, is to find someone to take Paul Brown's place at quarter. Brown wag carried off the field Saturday with a broken leg and will be out for the remainder of the season. Brown was one of the mainstays of the Butler team and hi* position will be a hard one to fill. The most probable solution that Page will resort to will be to shift Graham, who has been playing a sensational game at half back all season, to the quarter back Job and then draw from the wealth of good backs that have lined the Butler bench all season. Bob Basilar*, Stephenson, Strickler and L. Wood are men that Page has at his disposal for back field material, and if any one of them is selected the Butler attack will lose none of its punch. GRAHAM HAS SOME EXPERIENCE. Although Graham has been working at half back all year for Page, he ia not new at quarter and should be able to run the team in great style. He held down the quarter position on his high school team in Chicago. Following the Bose game. Butler will close the season at Irwin field, Nov. 20, meeting the Chicago Y. M. C. A. College. That evening, all Butler will flock to the Claypool Hotel, for the biggest football banquet in the history of the school, celebrating one of the most successful seasons that a Butler team has ever known.
