Prosperous National Loop Holds Annual Session — American at Chicago. By Frank Getty NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—The increasing prosperity of big league baseball, despite the supposed Inroads of golf and other sports upon the national pastime's popularity, Is the chief subject of discussion among a score of well satisfied gentlemen who have gathered in New York for a winter powwow. A dove of peace hovered over the Waldorf Astoria where heads of the eight National League Clubs were to meet formally today, and every one of the eight president was wearing a pleased expression. President Heydler, who has been receiving informal calls from the visiting magnates, simply couldn’t conceal until the formal meeting the fact that the past season was the most prosperous In the history of the league. 800,000 Watch Cubs Bill Veeck of Chicago, wore a particularly broad grin when Heydler congratulated the Cubs’ president on the fact that his club led the league In home attendance. More than 800,000 fans watched tho Cubs in Chicago. Sam Breadon, president of the Cards, still has to iron out his salary dispute with Rogers Hornsby, his world series, title manager. Barney Dreyfuss, whose health has improved greatly, was congratulated by his follow-presidents, and he had pennant predictions to make for his club. “With Ownie Bush in there running things all our trouble over cliques and petty jealousies will be at an end,” the Pirates’ president predicted. Center of Interest Another new National League manager who is a center of Interest here this week Is popular “Stuffy” Mclnpls, who is to pilot the Phillies in 1927. William F. Baker, the club president, was enthusiastic over the chubby first baseman’s chances of getting the Phillies up out of the second division. “It wouldn't surprise me if we had another ‘miracle man’ In ‘Stuffy,’ ” said Baker. Indorse Landis National League will talk schedules, indorse Judge Landis for another long and lucrative term as high commissioner of baseball, applaud annual reports of prosperity, move on to Chicago. The American League has to ratify anew constitution, after which the two circuits will hold their joint meeting at the Congress Hotel in Chicago. A little fur may fly as -Judge Landis is wedged Into office over the opposition of Ban B. Johnson and some of his followers, but the high commissioner is considered certain of re-election at a salary hot less than the annual $50,000 he receives now. Meanwhile, baseball fans will be watching for trades. A few important ones are In the offing, and these are more Interesting than all the cut and dried arguing over annual reports and schedules.

5 New Managers on Hand

By Clark B. Kelsey, United Press Stuff Corrcsvondent CHICAGO, Dec. 14.—Five new managers of American League baseball clubs were among the eight who gathered here today for the annual league meeting. The junior circuit's conference precedes the joint meeting of the two mapor leagues which opens here Thursday. The new leaders were Ray Schalk, who succeeded Eddie Collin as leader of the White Sox; George Moriarity, Ty Cobb's successor as pilot of the Tigers; Dan Howley, who follows George Slsler as manager of the Browns; Jack McAllister, who, until Trls Speaker's resignation a short time ago, was coach of the Cleveland Indians, and who was named manager of the club Saturday, and Bill Carrlgan, who returns to the Boston Red Sox as manager, replacing Lee Fohl. Only routine matters were to be handled by (he board of directors of the league at their meeting. Tra.fflc in slightly used baseball players Is one of the chief problems confronting the managers. Secretary Grablnger of the White Sox spent some time closeted with Miller Huggins, Yankee manager, and it Is probable a Yankee Six trade will be announced. The White Sox are In need of a capable second sacker. The Sox would like to get Marty McManus or Aaron Ward. McCalllster says he Is satisfied with the Cleveland club as it stands. The big loss is Speaker himself. Morlarty also seems pleased with the team willed him by Cobh, however, he asks for new pitching talent. In addition to the magnates and managers of the big leagues, plenty of minor league leaders are present.

for the lure of the game a good many of us would throw up our hands and quit. However, on this boy’s next attempt he may stay with a cold 900, as the uncertainty of the game Is Its chief feature.
