THE TIHEO. Friday, Feb. 16, 1912. 12-CLUB LEAGUE 10 BE

1 SPORT g

ON OUTLAWS

Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburg and Cincinnati to Added to American Association.

Continuous baseball in Detroit, Cleveland. Cincinnati and Pittsburg and the expansion of the American association to twelve clubs. That this will be a rtalltjr in lose than two jeara was made known at the closing: session of the American league at the Congress hotel yesterday afternoon. The announcement came from an authoritative source. Magnates in both the American and National leagues probably will deny it, for policy's sake. Nevertheless, it is true. It's a blow at th "upstarts" behind the third league movement. It's more than that it's an admission that baseball pays better in cities having two teams than in those possessing but one. Big league owners in Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Cleveland and Detroit figure that it is senseless to have their expensive new ball parks idle for almost SOO days every year. They have come to the conclusion that a city of any size should be able to support-baseball every day during that part of the year when the weather conditions make the game possible. So the American association is going to have four more clubs, probably in 1I1S. an! they are going to be placed in the four cities named with th consent of the major leagues.

It is Impossible at the present time to name the owners of the new clubs.

They will b men who have served the game faithfully and are deserving, of

"good Jobs." St. Ixuls and Chicago will be left as they are. They have con

tinuous ball now, in the baseball sea

son, and Presidents Comiskey and Mur

pry are we'.l satisfied with present con

ditions.

But Frank Navin at Detroit, Garry

Herrmann at Cincinnati. Barney Drey

fuss at Pittsburg and Charley Somers

at Cleveland are tired of contemplat

ing bright sunshine on days, almost 100 days, when their teams are out of town and there's nothing coming in at the plants on which they have spent perfectly good money and plenty of it. Cleveland and Detroit are in the Co

lumbian league's territory and Pittsburg and Cincinnati are well thought of by the promoters of the new outlaw

circuit. But there would be little chance for the Columbian league's success in those cities if two clubs, with the advantage of protection, were already in them. It is too late to put the change Into effect this year. But it will be surprising if th American association doesn't add on the four cities in 1913, and the expansion will be with the full consent and favor of the major leagues.

JOHNSON POSTPONES POSTING FORFEITS Tells Promoter Curley He Must Wait Until Tomorrow to Put Up Money.

H. Iv, H. Anderson. Ora Taylor.

The members -of the team are anx

ious to have favorable weather so that the practice work can begin. The club is more fortunately situated than most

lubs. It has not only Its own grounds.

but the team Is assured of two games

week, while th members can get

together dally for a little practice, a

hing which few or none of the other earns can do.

.Tack Johnson has postponed for twenty-four- hours the posting of the forfeits for th Johnson-Flynn match

"for the heavyweight championship, to be staged somewhere in the west some time next July. The money was to have been put up this evening at 6 o'clock. Johnson last night said he

x would tell Jack Curley to wait until to

morrow at that hour. He dented there was any possibility of th match being called off, saying he just wanted a day's

postponement.

S? tomorrow Johnson, Curley and the game Jim I-'lynn will assemble in the presence of scribes and others and

spread $20,000 in cash on the table,

After everybody has looked at the mon

ey for a time Al Tearney, the stake

holder, w:Il .put It in his pocket or pockets, if it takes more than one. That will conclude the festivities unless Curley thinks up something else to do, as : he plans to have moving pictures

taken of the ceremony.

Curley will not name the site tomorrow. He has until May 1 to pick the scene of the contest and does not in-

trfl to tell where it will be held before that. The referee question also will be

left open until later.

RAICEVTCH SAILS

1TU.K BUJN.N Y JLTAliX New York, Feb. 18. An unexpected

name on the passenger list of La Pro

vence, sailing today for Havre, was that of Giovanni Ralcevich. the Italian

wrestler. " Ralcevich snapped liga

ments on both sides of his right knee

In his match with Zbyszko at Madison

Square Garden on Monday night as the

result of the lex hold used by the lat

ter in gaining the first fall in 54 min

utes 52 seconds. An Italian surareon

Incased the injured member in a plast

er cast and ordered Ralcevich to quit wrestling and take an absolute rest

for at least a month. Ralcevich de

cided to return to his home in Pisa,

having secured his annual supply of

easy American money.

TELLS MURPHY

Mordecal Brown will pitch this year

if he Is traded. He will pitch if he Is

traded to any National league club ex

cept Philadelphia. He won't pitch for

Philadelphia, and he won't pitch for Chicago unless he is offered a contract

calling for a "decent salary."

nrown js stiu considering a propo

rtion to go into business here, but

there Is a lot of doubt about his being able to close it. Therefore he is rather anxious to play ball aeain: but he

doesn't want to be a Cub because lie doesn't believe he has hoen or Is being fairly treated by President Murphy.

MARCHANT WINS INITIAL FIGHT Xew York, Jb. 15. Billy Marchant. the English lightweight, made his American debut last night" at the National Sporting club and outpointed Louis Be Ponthieu, the French star, by a slight nlargin. Marphant showed that he knew how to use both hands. He managed to land innumerable tinn3 on the Frenchman, but his wallops lacked steam. All through the battle Marchant give a great exhibition of sidestepping, ducking and how to beat a rival to the punch.
