BT HA51IITOX (Tntted Pku Staff Corrnpondrat.) XBW TORK, Nov. 6. The elimination of the spitball in fact, the elimination of tha use of any foreign substance as an aid to the pitcher; the question of raising the player limit; the complaints regarding short fences and "bleacher walls; John HcGraw's fail from grace; umpire. baiting; world's series changes all these and many other questions will be well thrashed out when tha National league magnates get together December 12 for their annual gab-fest In New York. Gov. Tener, president of the Naleague, is one of those who helieve in the elimination of the spitball and its variations. A pitcher. Gov. Tener, believes, should have no need for outside agencies, end the cleanliness of the game has something to do with his opinion. lie believes, along with a great many others, that the spit-ball Is Just a wee bit indecent and repulsive. The change 1n the player limit has found many champions and it is one of the thing that magnates and critics like expect will ibe doctored. Clubs have suffered because they didn't have

an adequate number of substitutes to carry on their games. The Philadelphia and Boston clubs ase two examples of this. The New York Giants and the Phillies are expected to lead a fight for the rescinding of the twenty-one player rule. The short bleacher wall in Philadelphia Is certain to come in for discussion. It is obviously unfair to opposing clubs to count all balls int the left field bleachers home runs. The wall is low and many a drive which would be good for only two bases in other parks, bounds into the bleachers for a circuit clout. As the Phillies play many more games there than any other club they get too many whacks the short wall, opposing clubs contend.

and they will make an effort to have something done about it. John HcGraw's statements are certain to be aired when the magnates get their fanning started. Several of them are said to be in 2favor of rigid discipline for the Giants leader. fmpire baiting has "been carried on without regard to the open season in the National league and the good work started last season for the benefit of the Braves probably will be carried to a satisfactory conclusion.

RUMOR OF THIRD MAJOR i LEAGUE STIRS GOTHAM 1 1ndianapolis Mentioned for Possible Berth in Proposj ed Organization.

j NEW YORK. Nor. 9. "While the re- '. suits of the presidential election held 'ithe attention of the general public yesterday, somewhat of a ripple was .made In sporting crcles by a rusaor to the effect that organized baseball 5 would take steps ehortly toward the '4 formation of a third major league. ?AThe rumor is given some credence, and i assurances of the plans "being carried ? out may form the basis for the withdrawal f the big suit filed some time ago against organized baseball toy the ''Baltimore club of the late Federal League. 'js The organizations affected in the proposed new association are the International and New York State .leagues and the American Association. ''Baltimore Is mentioned most promi- - nently as a major league possibility in j the International circuit, while Indi- ; anapolis and Kansas City, the two , cities that stood the brunt of the Federal Xieague attack in tha American Association, are considered as likely candidates for bertha from the west. 6 Edward G. Barrow, president of the ? International League, is mentioned as ' the head of the proposed new major ' ' organization.

Speaking of heavy gloves recalls the story that Jim Corbett tells regarding th gloves worn in the memorable battle on the barge between himself and Choynski. "The Choynski crowd wanted to know what sort of gloves we were going to use," says Corbett. "I told them to go ahead and use any sort they wished, providing they weren't cover riveted. Joe thought he was wise and decided to use ordinary skin-tight driving gloves. I used a nice, big, heavy pair of pillows, and I'll tell you why. Choyneki'a tight driving gloves didn't jar when they landed, though they did cut. I figured that all out. The big, heavy regulation boxing gloves that I used DID jar, as Choynski will testify to this very day. It" is a mistake to think it is easier to

I knock a man out with small gloves.

They won't Jar you, they simply cut. Don't let anybody tell you differently."

Joe Sherman seems to have impressed Philadelphia promoters, for they have matched him to scrap the "best lightweight they can secure" In the Quaker City Thanksgiving afternoon. Sherman is keeping in shape with light training at a local gym. - Reports from St. Taul carry information that the- sale of tickets for the battle between Jack Dillon and Mike Gibbons is going so briskly that there are only a few reserved tickets "on the market." Jack Read, the American lightweight, who has been in Australia for a long time, has returned and in a letter from Seattle, Wash., gives out the Information that Les Darcy, the Antipodes star, is not likely to come to this country to battle Hike Gibbons. According to Read, Darcy and his managers are under the impression that prejudice might be shown the Phantom, and they want Mike to appear across the water. "

The high school football situation at this late hour in November has narrowed down to the old question of supremacy in Lake county a matter generally decided much earlier either by actual contest or through the superior showing of one of the three teams. This season Hammond, Gary and East Chicago have teams more equal one to the other than usual. True,

Kast Chicago has been eliminated by

Hammond and is out of the running.; rick, the full back, will play handi

CURLEY ULRIGH TO .

EFEREE BIG FIGHT

ST. PAUL, MINX., Nov. 9. Curley Ulrieh will referee the Gibbons-Dillon battle at the Auditorium. Billy Hoke and George Barton of Minneapolis were ' receptive candidates for the job, but Mike Gibbons ,said yesterday that he would hold out for Ulrieh. and inasmuch as he has yielded to Dillon on every 'other point connected with the big match, he wtis .allowed to have his way in this. Di.lion had no objection-to the St. Paul official. Gibbons will cio no mure boxing until he faces Dillon in the ring Friday night. He said yesterday that he wa.i below weight and that shadow boxing, bag punching and rope, skipping would constitute his program yesterday, and that today he will do only the lightest kind of work. Dillon, on the other hand, will work hard up to the day of the tight. He took a long road grind this morning anil boxed erht rounds this afternoon at Potts" gymnasium. He will take a.sho-t road spin today and will continue his boxing, in the afternoon,. Usually Jack rests on the day before he boxes, but with $2,500 depending on his making 163 pounds at 3 p. m. Friday, he cannot afford to take chances. Sam Murburger said yesterday that Dillon was "around" 165', pounds, and that he easily could take off the two and one-haif pounds. As Mike chopped off his boxing, the gymnasium program yesterday afternoon was enli vencdby a boxing exhibition by Red Dolan, one of Dillon's aids.

FRANK WHITNEY IS IN DEMAND CHICAGO, Nov. 9. Frank Whitney, Joe Thomas' lightweight, la greatly in demand by the promoters. Jack Hammond of Philadelphia wants Whitney for a Thanksgiving , Day match and the Racine promoters want to match him against the winner of the Well-ing-Hammer go. Manager Thomas Is planning to put Whitney through a strenuous campaigh this Winter.

11V HAMILTON' (1'nlte-d Ire Stuff Correspondent.) NEW. YORK. Nov. 9. Jake Daubert and Jack Coombs are the only members of the Brooklyn National league champions who will not have to sign the papers again if they are members of the Dodgers when the 1917 flag chase starts. And. if Wilbert Robinson has anything to do with it, there are a few of the other Dodgers who will be homeless. Nap Rucker, veteran- of many a campaign and for a long time the only asset of the Dodgers, is one of the many who has run out of his term with the Brooklyns. Nap may be back and he may not Robinson doesn't say. Robinson declared when he left for his home in Baltimore that there were weakpoints in his club which must be strengthened if the team is to make any kind of a showing next year, and it is more than probable that a couple of these changes will cosne in the infield. Ivan Olson, despite his determination and his fighting spirit, seems booked for a new berth, and the same might be said of George Cxitshaw, for George undoubtedly "cracked under the strain" in the world's series. Cutshaw's slip-up probably will get attention, if for no other reason than its moral effect on the Dodgers. The outfield is destined to have at least one new performer. There are many who do not consider Jimmy Johnston of big league caliber and he probably will surrender his Jab to Hi Myers. There are several recruits who are expected to have the call over Johnston.

RENSSELAER, IND., Nov. 8. In a letter to The Republican, Coach W. D. Mead of the Hammond high school football team has tho following to say relative to tha gam last Saturday, and yrhat he thinks of the Rensselaer team: "I want to end a little word of the sentiment established in Hammond regarding the ability of the Rensselaer team which came to our city to play

our high ecnool eleven last Saturday

before a crowd of 500 people. The

game was the best put up of any visit

ing team here this season. Hammond

had expected to equal at least the score of tne Hammond-East Chicago game

of two weeks ago when the East Chicago 'team was defeated bj" a score of

19 to 7. Rensselaer's strong defensive

playing made it a hard task for Hammond to get what she did, although the offensive of the visiting team lack

ed the punch to make her dangerous at any time in last Saturday's ;game. The game was truely a football game from start to finish and was played ifT in record time. "I note your reply to my statement putj'.isnej In our local paper last week I have nothing to comment on ancient
