CENTRAL LEAGUE REVIVED; SIX-CLUB CIRCUIT PLANNED
Eggemeyer Named Tempor-j
ary Chairman unm circuit is Reorganized. prospectsTre good Joe Tinker and Other Big Leaguers Help Minors Revamp Old League. Central league moguls virtually decided to get back into toe game in 1919 with a strong compact Class B circuit, at a meeting held at Indianapolis Sunday. President Ryan of the Peoria club, Louis Heilbroner, Fort Wayne baseball expert, and Charles Carr, former manager of the Indianapolis Association team, were appointed to work out fire circuits from the following cities: Richmond, Terre Haute. Fort Wayne, South Bend, and Evansville in Indiana; Peoria. Dloomington and Rockford In Illinois. Dayton and Springfield in Ohio, and Grand Rapids and Muskegon in Michigan. These five plans for the make-up of the circuit will go before a meeting next Sunday and the most feasible one will be selected. Large Attendance. Between twenty-five and thirty minor baseball league magnates and Joe Tinker, president and owner of the Columbus club of the American Association, Jack Hendricks, manager of the Indianapolis Association club, Charles Carr, former manager of the Indianapolis team, and Fred Hunter, former Pittsburg first baseman and now minor league manager, attended the meeting. The old professional players and magnates gave the Central league moguls welcome advice and made many suggestions that were acceptable. Elmer Eggemeyer of the Richmond club was named temporary chairman
of the league to serve until a perman
ent organization is perfected and Krenth I. Lane of Peoria was named secretary. Central League Moguls. Those attending the meeting were:
F. II. Young and J. J. Hackett, Blooming on: Rufus Gilbert. Terre Haute; Louis HellbrOner. Fort Wayne; John
Giants to Train at Gainsville;
Vaughn May Pitch For Chicago
presented by some of the larger central west cities.
Rockford Applies. Rockford, 111., applied for admission
to the league. Fred Hunter, minor league magnate, wanted a blanket franchise that would enable hime to
place a team in whatever city he se
lected. It seem3 that Hunter will
have little chance to get into the cir
cuit his year.
Grand Rapids and Muskegon were
not represented. The attitude of Bert
Noblett toward the circuit, as well as his unwarranted attack on Ryan and Eggemeyer last week, could not be
explained by the other moguls. Some
believed it was an easy way for him
to sidestep getting back into the cir
cult Baseball has not gone big in
Grand Rapids despite its population
and size.
A session of 140 games, opening
May 1, was favored, and strict salary' and player limit laws will also be passed, it is decided. The majority of club owners favored a thlrteen-player limit, and it looks as if this will be carried out. A number favored a player limit of 14 or 15 players would be needed to keep any club up in the running. The player-limit rule will be threshed out probably and decide! up. on at the next meeting. AH Enthusiastic. Of the six cities represented all of them expressed a desire to get back into the league. The Richmond club owners favor a re-organization, and will put the question of attendance and financial backing up to the fans. There is no question about the interest of Richmond fans. A campaign to sell season tickets will go big, and the club will be assured enough monetary, backing to be able to go ahead without worry. ..All the fans agree that it would not be fair to let the club owners worry about the financial end of the proposition. An earnest disposition to give the club a little assistance will make the club go good here, and fans are pledged to that program. Harry Stahlhefer, president of the old Central League, could not attend the meeting yesterday, but sent Lowenthal. Stahlhefer's resignation was not presented to the moguls, so that the question of a league head is still in abeyance, and probably will bo so until the circuit is re-organized, the
territory chosen, and the club owners
By JACK KEENE. Gainsville, an attractive little town in the central section of Florida, will be the ' site of the Giants' training camp in the spring. The town was selected after John McGraw had carefully considered a number of other resorts in Florida, among them St Petersburg. The team will have the use of the athletic field, gymnasium and thower batbs of the University of Florida, which is situated at Gains-

But the history of baseball, it was ehown, proved that a year such as 1919 promises to be, means a more prosperous season for the sport than years like the three preceding ones. Need 40,000 Attendance. It was shown that it each club can draw a season's attendance of between 40,000 and G0.00O. the circuit will be a surcess financially. The price of admission. It is said, would have to be increased 10 cents, but this was accepted as something to which the fans would not object. Dayton and Springfield were not represented at the meeting, but this caused no surprise. Joe Tinker is willing to take over the Dayton franchise. Springfield is anxious to get back into the league, as the proposed Ohio State league which has been
fathered by the Springfield Chamber
of Commerce has not been taken up with acclaim by the eight Buskeye cities that were asked to come In. Report Next Sunday. A committee was appointed to take wo the Springfield-Dayton situation
and report at a meeting to be meld next Sunday either at Indianapolis, Chicago, or some league city. Final
disposition of the clubs that will con

also be made at this meeting.
Springfield and Dayton are really
needed by the circuit to complete the eastern terminal of the league. The
situation in these two cities has clarified so much in the last week that
minent.
In a discussion of the proposed cities
that might be included, big league magnates convinced the Central moguls that a compact league of small towns that cannot produce attendance
is a detriment and that the larger atendance from big ciies will easily offset increased traveling expenses. The Central moguls share this opinion, the result being that when the Central is called into existence, it will be re-

A fine spirit of harmony prevails
among the Central club owners and it the circuit is reorganized, a high-class association can be expected.
PORTER BACK ON

"Ernie" Porter the fast Y. M. C. A.
basketball player of last year's team
has returned to Richmond high school
after serving in the navy, and he will
probably be on the first basketball team next term. The new terra begins on Feb. 10. and Porter's return will strengthen the team a great deal for the remaining games of the season and for the district tournament.

Cincinnati, fifth 964 The Cincy Reds will line up at the start of" this season as one of the strongest clubs in the National League and one that has a good chance to take the pennant. Rube Bressler will return to the pitching staff of the Reds again this year. Up to the time he was called to the colors last year , he had won eight and lost five games. Another addition to the staff will be Walter Reuther, who pitched good ball for the Reds last spring. Wlngo and Allen will be behind the bat again this year for the Reds. Last year both did good work for the Cincinnati club. The Red infield will be probably the
strongest in the National circuit with "Heinie" Groh at third. Groh is the best third Backer in the league with no exception and as a leadoff man he has no equal as he can get on base more times on hits and passes than any other man in baseball. The shortstop's position will probably be filled by Morris Rath, who is just back from the army. Lee Magee, who will hold down the second sack, is one of the best second basement in the business and expects to have a big year this seascli and if he can hit around his last vason's average of .290 per cent he will be the man of the hour of the Reds. Jake Daubert will probably play first base and his batting and1 fielding will strengthen the Reds a great deal. He was secured from the Brooklyn club for Tommy Griffith and Larry Kopf.

McGraws' attention was first attracted to Gainsville and its qualifications as a possible training camp site by a letter which he received from Charlie Hari3, who was a teammate of his on the Baltimore club and who is now engaged in business in Gainsville. Harts extolled the virtues of the town and urged McGraw to take his club there. The training trip will not mark the occasion of McGraw's first visit to Gainsville. Back in the winter of 189091, when he was a kid ball player on a barnstorming team, he struck the town in his wanderings and played in a few games against the Cleveland club, which trained in the town. Gainsville now has a population of 10,000, is
situated in section which boasts of the
highest altitude in Florida, and is fa

MURRAY Harry Carey, starring in "Roped," his latest Universal photodrama of fast action, started his career on a western range and in the course of his work was frequently called upon to smooth out rough horses. In "Roped" he uses much the same tactics in dealing with one Mrs. Jud-son-Brown, a New York dowager who was content to let her daughter marry
the millionaire cattleman for his
money but decided to wreck his home for a lounge-lizard with greater social possibilities.

It was quite apparent that the first ;
figures named by the club do not coincide with those in the mind of the big southpaw, but it is not at all likely there will be trouble in coming to terms with him for next season.
