THE SUN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1919. 17 Perm's Assistant Coach Thinks Dartmouth Line Impregnable Public May Get 3,000 Yale-Princet- on Tickets WHARTOH PRAISES DARTMOUTH LINE Ono Timo Star Says Quakers Jfust Seek Gains felsowhtfro in Green Tilt. PENN'S SCHEDULE HARD Folwcll Will Have to Develop Running Attack to Carry Team Through. Pennsylvania realizes that the hardest came (or the Red and Blue eleven this season will bo the clash against Dart- mouth on the Polo Grounds on Novem- ber 8. After witneMlng the Dartmouth-Corne- ll game last Saturday Dr. Charles M. (\Buck\) Wharton, one time famous lineman at Penn and now assistant to Bob Folwell. said : \I have been at Franklin Field for twenty years In the capacity of line coach, and never In. that time- - have I teen such a line as Dartmouth has, on our team or any other. The Dartmouth linemen have both the poundage and the punch they constitute a chain of forts. \Penn must look elsewhere for Its rains than through the Green line. Fol- well must set to work to develop one ef his great running attacks to carry the Bed and Blue safely through the rest of the schedule. \Pittsburg Is strong and Cornell will be desperate when the big Red team comes down for the Thanksgiving Day game. Penn and Cornell always are desperate against each other. These games, not to mention the tough llttlo tilt with Penn State next Saturday, show that our path Is by no means clear, but we have a great team and I believe that we can finish strong.\ Recognise Ponn State Power. Dr. Wharton goes on to say that Penn- sylvania does not underestimate the power it Penn State, and that the Red 'and Blue will not be caught in a slump by the State eleven. He thinks that Dartmouth will beat Colgate and that Dartmouth and Penn most likely will decide the Eastern title on the Polo Grounds. Penn will send 10,000 undergraduates and alumni to the game. Although the attendance at the Dartmouth-Corne- ll game far exceeded any previous foot- ball game played on the Polo Grounds, barring thd Army-Nav- y tilts. Indications aro that the Dartmouth-Pen- n crowd will be much larger The game will have a vital bearing on the Eastern cham- pionship. The Quaker team will make Its head- quarters at the Pennsylvania Hotel and will practise on the Polo Grounds the day before the game.- - Gonl Kick Depreciates. It's tough to be forced from a 1 to 2 favorite to' an outsider at G to 1, but that la Just what has happened to the goal kick after touchdown In regard to Its relative value to the touchdown. In 18S3, the year that numerical scoring was Inaugurated, the goal was worth 4 points, and the touchdown itself counted only 2. This value was reversed before the season of 1884 started, but the goal still was quite Important. In 1897 the.value of a touchdown was increased to f points and the goal went down to 1 point a figure that was maln-tafne- d until 1912; when .a touchdown was increased to 6 points, the goal remaining at 1 point Thus, from a 1 to 2 choice the goal has sunk to a 6 to I selection. And in addition many \coaches favor the abolition of the extra point for the goal, claiming that too many games aro won by a single player rather than by a team. It seems that a compromise will he effected before many years, elimi- nating the punt out and making the tiam try for the goal from a point In front of the spot over which the ball wan carried for the score. t This seems to be the most logical so- lution, since there would be far too many tie games If the kick were abolished altogether. 00,817 In Tale Bowl. The Tale ticket office announces that (0,617 people can be accommodated at the Princeton game. Forty-si- x thousand Tale applications already have been and It depends on the number desired by Princeton whether there will be an open sale or not. Princeton appli- cations probably will not number 10,000, so a very small open sale Is almost a certainty. Commander D. I Howard, secretary ef Naval Academy Athletlo Association, lift here yesterday morning after a con- ference with Capt Philip Hayes of the Military Academy and John B. Foster, secretary of the New Tork Exhibition Company, In regard to location of seats to be used by the army and the navy contingents during the game on Novem- ber 23. Commander Howard stated that (very detail was settled. v Unaccustomed to seeing large crowds within Its modest boundaries, Hanover, N, II., Is finding itself unequal to the task of caring for the throngs that will invade the little city for the Colgate-Dartmou- th game next Saturday. All accommodations havo been taken, but the college authorities are aiding In obtaining rooms In private homes for Mumnl and others who want to attend the game. To the person wno asked for and Marshall score: F. ni M won by 14 to 0. Curtis II. Barker, class of 1921, was elected assistant manager of the Stevens eleven for this year, and will be man-tg- er for the season of 1920.

Svtclat BeioateK to Tax Serf. Cambridoc, Mass., Oct. 29. There was-- j some lively tooioau in uis nuuiu Stadium this afternoon when the vareity. Mtn maI wAitthftp for Its hard. midweek workout, fought against the scrubs for inree quariers 01 mi huui. second team men. well drilled on Tiger plays, did not have a very successful time, falling to score or to come very near doing so. On the other hand the regulars failed to show the speed after their long rest, fumbled a lot and only occasionally played as If they realised the Princeton gamo la only ten days away. The varsity made several scores. Once, after getting the ball on a fumble .on the scrubs' line, Freddy Church raced to within three yards of the goal line, but It took four plays to get Humphrey across. Murray missed two shots at field goals from ths 25 and the 30 yard lines, but Fulton made a thirty-fiv- e yard goal. Brown blocked a kick and made ft teuchdown, and In the final rally a touchdown was punched home after tho varsity had started from Its own 26 yard line. The nearest the scrubs came to scoring was when Burnham of the varsity, after a bad pass, waa thrown toward tho goal line and saved himself by grasping one of tho goal posts. A. Horween got his nrst taste of hard work, at centre y but finally was used -- to carry the ball, Phllbln taking his old place at centre. Horween did well In the line but it Is still too early for the coaches to decide whether he will stay there or not. Church was at fullback doing some fine running. He made one punt that carried from his own goal line at least seven yards past the middle of the Held. Eddie Casey did not scrimmage, and Clark worked only a short time. Brown, who recently was replaced by Woods at left guard, was ojn the varsity line most of the afternoon. ALF0RD OUT FOR SEASON. Navy's Stnr Illicit Una 8tr!ne0l Llsratnents. Spteial DttpaleA to Tbm Sen. Akkapous, Md., Oct 2. The Mid- shipmen had the hardest practice of the week under Ollmour Doble this after- noon. Play after play was tried against the second string men and then there was a lengthy scrlmmago against the heavy squad B eleven, nearly all of which was by tho light of the power-f- ul electric lamps and reflectors which havo been put up for the purpose. Thero was bad news for the squad In the form of tho announcement that Alford, one of the beat of the backs, Is out of the game for the season. With a number of strained llglmenta, he Is In a condition where he Is almost sure to be Incapacitated If he tries to play. It Is also certain tlat Capt. Bwen will not be able to play against West Virginia Wesleyan on Saturday, as he further strained tys bad ankle yes- terday. rniNCETdN socceii captaiv, PniNCTTON, N. J., Oct. 29. Ernest W.

The prac- tice of the Colgate squad took a more 'serious turn y when the Maroon coaches sent their proteges through ses- sions of real football. All the varsity players excepting Olllo, Anderson and Laird were on the field and participated in the scrimmage. These three men will be in uniform after a much needed rest. The varsity and socond team and two other scrub teams were pitted against each other In two games during tho scrimmage periods yesterday and y. The defenatvo work of the varsity snowed unexpected points of weakness yesterday when Woolsey. substitute full- back, made several substantial Kalns through the line and topped oft his efforts with a pretty thirty Vard run through the entire flrst team. To-da- however, the defensive was Improved remarkably and much of the raggedneas of yesterday's offence was Ironed out. Leonard was shifted back to the cen- tre position In the hope that he might give greater strength to the middle of the Una. At guard he' tias been play- ing a fast shifty game and his elght and experience make him a formidable factor In 'both offence and defence. open field running featured In the practice. BHAKEUP AT BROWN. Fox's VoU at Qqnrter Pleases Coaches. ' PitonoiKCB, R. I., Oct. 29. The Brown coaches shook the varsity up consider- ably this afternoon and the result was the smoothest running team of the year In their opinion. It practically was Im- possible for the scrubs to stop the line plunging and enduranco of the backs and open work displayed by the regulars in the scrimmage. Touchdowns were numerous on the part of the first eleven, while the second team could gain very little with their Syracuse plays. Oden, Fox, Adams and Faulksntr were star baokfleld men. Oden was; played at left halfback In plaoe of Jemall, and he to be able to shine as cleverly there as at quarterback. Fox was back at quarterback again and was better y than In any previous scrimmage this fall. He handled the team well, heaved forward pasiies superbly and was almost Impos. sible to stop when he carried the ball, Ho made one touchdown from the kick-of- f. Adams was placed at right half, back In place of Brooks and showed up well. Ha has been out sick, but his playing to-d- entitled him to considera- tion (or a position In the lineup against Syracuse on Saturday. TIGERS SCORE ONLY ONCE OH SECONDS Yarsity Shows Disappointing ' P'lar Against Scrubs in 2o Minute Drill. FaiNCTTOW, N. J., Oct 29. Bill Roper continued the Intensive drill for his Tiger regulars this afternoon In\ prep- aration for Saturday's battle with West Virginia. The Orange and Black mntor sent his charges through a hard after- noon's work that ended only when It became too dark to follow the ball. The first varsity, largely through the line plunging of Wltmer and De Btefano, scored a single touchdown against the second varaity, but the play of the flrst eleven through the rest of the twenty-fiv- e minute scrimmage was ragged and disappointing. McQraw, captain, was shifted back to left tackle, and Morgan took the Orango and Black leader's place nt right guard. S peer a was In at left guard In place of Dickinson, but soon gave way to Baker. Late In the'serlmmage Lynch took McGraw's place at left tackle. Indications to-d- seemed to be that Roper will use hla flrst backfleld for only a part of the game with the Moun- taineers. He will have Btrublng. Lourle. Trimble and Murray for the Harvard contest, which In just ten days off. 's backfleld quartet consisted of Hopkins nt quarterback, Redmond and De Stefano at the halves and Wltmer at fullback. The work of the last two men has been brilliant all week, and they likely will start next Saturday. The early part of the afternoon was de- voted to another long signal practice, with the men walking through the plays. The second team, under the direction of Nat Poe, made things Interesting for the varsity during the twenty-flv- e min- ute scrimmage. The work of tho scrub halfbacks stood out prominently. Var- sity plays aimed nt tackle seldom gained ground. Unless rapid t is made the Tigers will have a hard time Saturday gaining through the heavy West Virginia line. Jim '98, Joined the coaching staff y, and will help with the backs. WHAY SCORES FOR PENN. Itana 40 Yards for Only Score Asatnat Sornba, Svtcial DtipateA t Tas Sen. riiiLADiwiiu, Oct. 29 With the gates still locked, Penn's varsity team scored one touchdown against Allle Miller's scrubs In a short scrimmage this afternoon. Rex Wray, playing quarter- back In Bert Bell's place, intevpted a forward paas late In the play and ran forty yards for the tally. Tho scrubs were on the offensive mot,' of the time, using Penn State plays. They could not gain through the line, but Fred Straus, brother of Joe, got around right end twice for gains of twenty-flv- e yards. The varsity line wax used, exoept at ends, where Grave and O'Gorman got a chance. . The varsity back field was made up of Wray, quarterback; Brunner and Pearce, halfbacks, and Ellis, fullback. Hobey Light and Ben Derr followed the play and received personal Instruction fromiBIll Hollenback. Bert Bell was on the field In running togs and practised field goals. He had excellent luck In- side the 35 yard line. Ray Miller spent much time In kickcJT practice. SNOW LEADS KENCKItS, Cambiudob, Mass., Oct, 29. Tho Har- vard fencing team elected Royal Snow of Chicago for captain. Snow has twice taken part In the Intercollegiate tour- naments. Matches have been arranged with Columbia, Annapolis, Pennsylvania and Yale. FOUR YALE PLAYERS GET DAY'OF REST joo Neville, Lny, Kirkpatrick antl'Galt Only Bcffidars- - to Finish Scrimmage. . Sptclal Dupatch. to Tas Sex. Nxw Havim, Conn., Oct 29. Four Ell regulars were allowed io rest Thoy were Kempton, Dickens, Allen and Acosta. Dickens Is troubled slightly with a chafley horse, but will play against Maryland, neinnarat ana Webb were replaced early by Fred Graham and Bradon, and, aa a result, Oalt, Neville, Lay and Kirkpatrick were the only flrst string men to last through the whole practice. Ken Hamill again was at center In place of Callahan. The varsity scrimmaged against the second varsity and tho flrst college team. The form displayed against the second varsity was far from encouraging, but a good forward pass defence manifested itself In the college team tussle. The second varsity forced Joe Neville to punt from his forty yard line, after having been held for three downs. Munger, tackle, broke through and Mocked the kick, but Kirkpatrick, re- cently promoted to varsity tackle, re- covered and was not downed until he reached the second team's thlrty-flv- e yard mark. From here Joe Neville ploughed fifteen yards straight through centre, and Bob Lay and Fred Webb each accounted for seven yards on suc- cessive plays. Neville carried the ball over for a touchdown and Hamill kicked goal. The ball was given to tho college team on the varsity's forty yard line. The college eleven was Instructed to open up forward pass attack. No fewer than six passes were, tried from this line, but not one was completed. Tho work of Chick Neville nnd Fred Graham dur- ing this part of tho acrlmmage was quite commendable. Next the ball was given to the scrubs on the thirty yard line. Their flrst play was a pass which Braden Inter- cepted. He reglstcrecTsoventy-llv- e yards before he was downed by Davison, scruh halfback. Neville placed the ball on the one yard mark, and Bcasley went through for the touchdown on the next play. Braden kicked goal. Douglas Borne laler, Ted Lilley, J. W. Field and IL Church wero at the field to-d- to assist the regular coaches. COLUMP'A STARS RETURN TO LINEUP Canapery and Shaw Resume Practice Work on Union Plays Capt, Canapery and Charley Shaw re- turned to the lineup of tho Columbia varsity eleven yesterday and went through a stiff battle with the wxubs In which the flrst team showed marked superiority over the second string men both in defending against Union forma- tions and la carrying the ball. Because time waa precious Dawson did not let the varsity men. once thoy were loose, tear dpwn the field for a touchdown butJ If he had, at least four scores wouiu have been made against tho scrubs. Tho day'a workout was one of the hardest Columbia has had since before the encounter with Williams. The var- sity was forced through a scrimmage with the freshmen early in tho session and then to finish the day's work went hammer and tongs against the second team. The . freshmon used their for ward pass plays to perfcctlon,and made more headway against the varsity than did the scrubs with Union formations, but they wero unable to score. , Grace played at right end for the varsity In the scrlmmago wlfh the scrub and honors were divided between him and Johnstone who was in the backfleld for the second team. Johnstone showed remarkable speed In running with the ball and dodged his way through the varsity team for one or two fairly long gains. Grace was on top of virtually every play and broke up a number of forward passes. The scrub used the Union wilt formation for running the ends and making forward passes, but were not skilled enough In their use to .make any gains. SYRACUSE REHEARSES PLAYS. Works Behind Closed Rntra for Tilt With Dronn. RrBACL'SE. Oct. 29. Behind closed gates the Syracuse University football squad rehearsed this afternoon every play that is to bo used against Brown on Saturday at Providence. It was the next to the last workout for the Orange gridiron warriors, as tho' squad of twenty-- six players will leave for Worcester, Mass., night at 8:15 o'clock. Tho pluyeia will practise at Worcester on Friday afternoon and will go to Providence on Friday night This afternoon the players went through a signal drill with all of the regulars In the lineup, and then followed a twenty minute scrimmage with the second team. In which the varsity scored two touchdowns. Ackley was not at his regular place at quarterback In the workout, as the coaches are saving him for the Brown contest. Every player on the team Is fit to put .up the fight of his life at Providence the string the warriors. viaory Coach O'Neill has been In Wash Ington on business and the team has been In charge of Field Coach Meehan.

Otherwise the team Is In better shape than is has been for some time. Duffy. Gaadner, Raub, Alexander and Mount were all In the lineup this afternoon for the flrst time In ten dayn, and the team began to take on the appearance of a regular Rutgers varsity eleven, Garrett's tackling has been of the features of tho play of the team this year, and Sanford has decided to use him on one of the ends so as to take full advantage of this. LAFAYETTE IIAHUIEll WIN. Eastoh, Pa., Oct 29. Lafayette Col- lege opened the cross country season here to-d- by defeating Muhlenburg college in a dual meet the score oi 15 to Crawford, the former Ameri- can Interscholnstlo feross country cham- pion, won tho run by 9E0 yards.

He wont over- seas for more than one year with the drafted army. La Beet captured the senior metropolitan running, hop, step and Jump championship In 1917. HIGH LIGHTS AND SHADOWS IN ALL SPHERES OF SPORT By DANIEL. Copwight, 1919, by (As Sun Printing and PullltMng Association. In years has a football game In which a small college figured NOT so much Interest as Is evidenced all over tho city with regard to tho Impending clash betweon Dartmouth and Colgate. Ex- perts aro at sea aa to which, eleven should made the favorite In this contest, which at the end of the season may found to havo sottled tho championship of tho East. If the Princeton gamo were thrown out Colgate would bo favored at 4 to . This may sound strange, particularly In view of tho fact that Colgate defeated the Tigers. But the Colgate team last Baturday labored In a slump which waa almost as bad as that Into which It fell in 1915, when It was whlppod by 38 to 0 by Syracuse after It had won over Yolo by 15 to 0. Colgate was at least two touchdowns below form against tho Tigers. Anderson was In a trance alt afternoon and played the worst game he ever put up. Ills head and his arms and legs were affected. Glllo was not as reliable aa should havo been and the Colgate ends were not the hawk like wings which they were against Cornell. If the Colgate team can come out of this slump and play up to Its real ability It will beat Dartmouth, and very likely turn the trick with a versa- tile exhibition In which forward passing will play a moat Important part Dartmouth played a great gamo against Cornell here last Saturday and was much stronger than the score of 9 to 0 would Indicate. But the fact remains that Dartmouth did not possess the final punch. ,It showed that It was one of those ninety yard wonders able to run tho ball to Jericho anywhere except Inside tho ten yard zone. Tho lack of a punch hai been a great falling with Dartmouth teams. Wo have aeon only too many of them come to (Princeton and rush the Tigers all over the Held only to bo stopped when they came to the ten vard line. Cornell nlavers said last Satur day night that they regarded the Colgate eleven aa being the more uniformly powerful. They had met the Maroon the week before and wero In a posi- tion to know. So unless Dartmouth develops tho ability to drlvo home Its attack It very likely will be beaten unlets Colgate makes It possible for Robertson's toe to Up the balance In tho Green's favor. It Is a mighty hard game to dope. Students of form will stick to Colgate. Thoso who play hunches will throw their lot with Dartmouth. Princeton Had Better Not Become Overconfident The Colgate-Dartmout- h discussion brings rather an Interesting line on the Princeton team. It is agreed that Princeton showed remnrkablo Im- provement against Colgate, but tho fact that Colgate went back bo far prob- ably made tho Tigers' look as If they had progressed much further than they really had. We hopo that this does not develop false confidence In the Princeton camp, for the Tigers deserve success this year. If thero is any false confidence at Princeton we shall be abio to tell on Saturday when Bill' Roper's charges tacklo West Virginia. This game may provo the biggest stunner of the day. As we said hi our story of the game, Princeton's attack ngainst Colgate was nothing to speak of. It was built around Trimble, who was worked to death. A couple of forward passes worked because the Colgato ends were not on the Job. They wero thoso obvious, open faced passes which often will work wonders against sluggish ends, and- against wide awake opposition will prove the worst kind of a gamble. Yale and Harvard developing tho old Washington and Jefferson typo of forward poss straight over the line for six and eight yard gains. It is this pass which in the long run will moro to score touchdowns nnd demoralize opposition than the twenty and thirty yard tosses from back to end. Tenn's Position Soon to Bo Determined, , Pennsylvania men send us ever so many letters protesting against what they term the Ignoring of their team In the championship discussion. They hold that their eleven this year is one of tho strongest in the history of Penn football and the best In the East. They may be right. Certainly the showing against Lafayette last Saturday indicated great strength, but we will have to wait until Saturday afternoon, when the returns of the game with Penn State come In, before we can make a posltlvo assay of the power of tho Quaker machine Then will come a further test, ngninst Dartmouth. The game with Pittsburg, which is regarded n t hi? con- test In Philadelphia, should prove easy for Bob Folwell's rx si i-- no lino and will bo at tho mercy of the Penn forwards. ' The th contest, which will be played at the Polo Grounds on November 8. wilt mark the flrst nppearance of the Quakers in this city since 1905, On November 25 of that year, at the old American I.caguo Park, Pennsylvania won by 23 to 0 over a Columbia eleven which had defeated Cornell the week before by 12 to 6, and had been beaten by Yale and Prince- ton. Eddie Collins was quarterback of that Columbia tcar.v Dcmpsey \ot Ready to Do Any Fighting. It seems that Jack Kearns arranged his little series of boxing conferences in this city In order to obtain publicity for a moving picture, scheme which has In tho malting. develops thnt Jack Dempsey Is not ready, nor Is he willing, to do any fighting at this time or at any other time 'this Ycar.3t'DempgeyT'1't'cfrc6ye\wlth his circus on November! IB then.h will.-wovi- r mr to-L- Angeles to begin the filming of a stirring drama which--he Is to the' star actor. Perhaps some time next year Dempsey will be ready to resume Ills operations in the ring. But just now he la not anxious to live up to the slogan which his msnager pro- pounded for him on the morning after his victory over WUIard. Standing in the lobby of tho Secor Hotel at Toledo Kearns said: \Wo are ready to fight anybody, anywhere, any time. Fighting is Dempsey's business, and if at any time thero Is an offer for a battle and Dempsey Is encaged In something else will drcp it and take the challenge.\ The oppor- tunity to do some fighting la at hand, but Dempsey gives It the deaf ear. In giving the movies the preference over the ring Kearns Is making a big mlstako for Dempsey. It will bo remembered that Willard went into the films beforfl his encounter with Dempsey. The picture was a fizzle. The public which patronizes the movies will not Utke to a picture Just because Dempsey happens to be one of the alleged actors. Dempsey had better get the money In the ring while the getting is so good, for tho future is shrouded' In doubt. Imagine a fighter sitting back while he Is offered (40,000 to make passes at some victim In a bout scheduled for eight rounds! It's all wrong. The prostitution of boxing championships will continue Just as long as the public will stand for conditions as they, are. Syracuse Eleven Hm Xo Excuses. In reference to Syracuse's football defeat by Washington and Jefferson we asked on Monday morning whether It might not be possible that nn old feud had broken out anew on the Orange eleven. Yesterday we received this wlro from Walter S. Smith, tho graduate manager of athletics at Syracuse: \Thero is absolutely no dissension on the Syracuso team. We were beaten by a whnle of a team. We have no excuses.\ This telegram Is a big boost for Syracuse sportsmanship. an.d..thf sot \''\KTof Green flrst eleven, followed Into Ad RUTGERS FRENCH. 29. one by 40, bo bo he up are do h6 It' nd be he up DARTMOUTH BACKS SHOW DRIVING POWER Find Scrub Line Easy in Special Drill. 'ILvNovra, N. H., Oct. 29, Twenty minutes of drlvlnr offensive on thn nart by an equally long session on the de- fensive, filled tho greater part of to- day's practice for Colgato. The practlca session was followed by a long signal drill lasting until darkness set In. Tho regular back field found the sec- ond string line much to its liking In the offensive work, and got away for sev- eral long gains. The team's combina- tion Included tho same trio which started against Cornell Robertson, Eckberg and Cannell, Possible weakness on the de- fense Is the present bogey of the coach- ing staff and it was to bolster this play that the ball was given to Team B. The scrubs, however, were unable to make much headway. Both Sonnenberg and Murphy were prominent In breaking up their plays. Previous to the scrimmage the backs spent some time receiving punts, with Jim Robertson and Bert Eckberg doing the kicking. Robertson's kicking ability is looked upon as one of the big factors against Colgate. WILLIAMS PLAYERS CHEERED.

Tho lull In tho baseball war that fol- lowed Judifo Wagnor's decision In tho Mays caso ended yesterday when Cols. Ruppert and Huston, owners of the Yankees, Issued a statement in which they give th'olr vlow of tho courts find- ings and declare they Immediately will demand the National Commission pay tho Yankees the share of tho world's series rocolpts due the club for finishing third In the American Leaguo race. Inasmuch as the National Commission In answer to Frank Navln'e protest In behalf of Detroit has decided to with- hold the money until tho matter Is dis- posed of In tho courts, any demand made upon the commission by the Yankees will be of llttlo avail until a legal decision Is rendered. Tho National Commlrelon's decision to await the court's findings Is In accord with tho legal actions brought by the Yankoes against Ban Johnson and is directly In opposition to the views ex- pressed by Johnson nnd his followers that league baseball Is a closed cor- poration and Its affairs never should be aired in the courts, as Its operation's are outsldo the p.ilo of civil law. In their statement Cols. Ruppert and Huston declare Judge Wagner's decision In the Mays enso confutes the arguments of Johnson and his followers regarding the wldo dlvergonco of civil nnd baseball law. The statement made by the owner.t of the Yankees follows: In Leninite's Bclinlf. \Tho wholo text of Judge Wagner's decision firmly establishes tho nttltude wo wero forced to take when wo left tho Holland IIouso on tllo night of our Interview with President Johnson, where we had gone In an effort to try to induce tho league president to withdraw his autocratic ukase relative to Mays. Our fight has not been for Maya alone, but to safeguard tho vested and property rights of tho Individual club owner against tho continual encroachment on club rights by tho president, who has never been clothed with the powers that ho has taken unto himself. \Wo bollevo that tho future will hear us out nnd that our fight will bo recog- nized ns tho moans of bringing about tho betterment of the whole league. Wo do. not bellove, as Mr. Johnson's basoball organ nould have us believe, that with- out Mr. Johnson'B guiding hand the game could not long enduro. Hold facts nf Mr. Johnson's stewardship of tho last t years nrlse to controvert this. \Ant clpatlng n decision against thu nutocratlc methods of tho leaguo presi- dent his baseball news organ already has taken the stand that baseball Is operated nlongN lines wholly outside the pals of our civil law. and that any lnseball case taken to court will, ns a matter of course, bo decided against the practises based upon an.l sanctioned by'lnseball 'aw. In the light of Judge Wagner's decision, honeer, this point lose nil force, for 'he Judge had no recourse whatever to the civil code, but appl'rd tho established rules of construction to the league's own constitution, by-la- and playing rules, nnd upon these, and these alone, based his decision. \Clears Nnrln'a Protest. \In our opinion tho decision definitely iMcar4,,ul83 tho question raised bv Mr. ifXviVa Tiiotet-iln- the Yankees' rlshrt.i the third place In thn American Lea gun peifnapt' face, in consequenco of which the payment of the world's series money dua tho Ts't'w Yorl; players Is being wlth-he'y- i. The Juiipe'a language In tins con- nection Is capablo of no misinterpreta- tion : \ \Inasmuch as the leading clubs of tho league and their pTayerii are entitled at tho end of the season to certain r'chts nnd privileges which are unquestionably to bo deemd property rights, this Inter- ference with an Individual player would confuso, and possibly destroy the rights of tho respertno clubs nnd their plavers for the validity of games in which Mays part'clpnted might be questioned.' \Tho Judge refers to the douMe Inter- pretation of which Mr. Johnson's act Is susceptible, saying: \Thn defendant himself In examina- tion before trial represented hla net as a punishment of the Boston club and the New York club. From tho general tenor of the defence, however. It would appear that the defendant's net was Intended to be a punishment of Mnys. If the former construction be accepted, the act was clearly ultra rfrrn. Kxplorlng the con- stitution within its four corners, thore Is no authority either by express declara- tion or fair Intcntmcnt, for such act. The president Is given no authority whatever to discipline tho clubs which are members of tho league.' \Tho declaration clearly eels forth that each club has the right to reculate Its own affairs: that the president hai no power to discipline clubs, and has no arVollnte wr uperviory Jurisdiction, these being vested solely In the board of directors. CoiitrnrtK Mitat II o I.fkiiI. \Mr. Johnson's arbitrary acts similar to that In the Mays case, and his hither- to unrestricted exercise of such powers, the Judge pertinently sums up as fol- lows: \ 'Although tho courts have placed great weight on the construction which parties have put upon contracts existing between them, sue!) constructions must nevor violate the fundamental concepts of Justice. If the original act was un- authorized, repetition dous not Invest Ch net with authority. If the constitution did not convey powor to the president, ho cannot proscrlptivelj- - acquire power by continual usurpation. If the oppositu were true, he would In effect effectuate nn amendment of tho constitution ti usurpation.' \That to further quote tha Judge's decision, 'the president's act was, to say tho least, not 'orllfled with that perfect appreciation of the facts which evince a desire to do equity to all rattles con- cerned,\ and thai such ncti of nrbltrnn usurpation, If unchecked, would become a menace allko to tho rights of the cluhs and the players and detrimental to th future of the gamo ltscir. were consid- erations whioh led us to take the step, the warrant and wisdom of which are now fully vindicated by tho court's de- cision. \We shall immediately domand that the National Commission pay to our players tho thare of tho world's sorlest receipts to which they are rightfully en- titled.\ I'LirrCllIlllS IX IlllOOKI.Y.N, The baseball team representing the 'Fletcher Company of Hoboken and tha Bushwlcks will resume their series on Sunday nfternoan at Dexter Park, near , the Cypress Hills elevated station.
