EDDIE’S FRIENDS The Fellows Who Bet on a Y/«w Spade j y 1 f*23 bv int’u Feature Servic*. Inc. Ig-i3 M , National League Club Owners Spring Surprise When They Agreed to Endorse Worthy Landis Seven of Light American League Team Moguls Linfd Lip Behind Ban Johnson, Who Has Anti-Landis Complex as Important Meeting of Majors Starts—Dykes Sentenced to Philadelphia. By DAVIS J. WALSH CHICAGO. I>ee. 12.—In spite of the unity and the panegyric ^ that the National league was responsible for. Judge Landis faced a hitter controversy today when the Joint meeting of the two major leagues was convened. Seven of the f eight American league club owners were lined up behind the expansive figure of Ban Johnson, president, who had ^ an BMii iittiiuis cunipie* auu uiuu i care who Knew u. f Just on general principles. Johnson opposed the Landis ^ program In toto. It might have been that the good Judge 'f desired nothing beyond the good of good old baseball, but i. politics was something else again. The Johnson-Landis business was due for an airing regardless. The main point of the controversy, If It developed, was over the question of control of umpires. —** So much for the ballyhooed attempt of Johnson to re sain prestige as supreme head of basehall. The time was when the merest word and gesture of the worthy Johnson was reflected in news dispatches the country over, but that time is not now. The good Judge now occupies hat enviable position and Johnson would have it otherwise. The National league passed up ( the buck yesterday aftenioon when it agreed to indorse the worthy Mr. I.andis. The Heydler outfit took considerable wind out of the American league sails when this thing happened. The draft thing is going to get Menty of airing today. .Velde from the Joint meeting of the two major leagues, there ape several of the little fellows who will meet. They are for and against the draft, which is usual. The average Im pression is that the draft will be restored or something very inueli like it. The Western league has been operating under the kind hand of the majors for a couple of years. Play ers are sent to this league under optional agreement. The draft, of course is not1 spoken of. However, the thing works out exactly as the old draft formerly did. Other leagues now are thinking that over and may come into the fold. Jimmy Dykes is sentenced to Phila delphia and he cannot help himself. Connie Mack last night said he would not Is- traded to the Detroit Tlg<»rs, because Ty Cobb does not want to trade Harry Heilmann for him. There were loud huzzas after this crack but It Is truse just the same. Mack wanted Heilman for his second base man. Miller Huggins and Frank Chance are still here and they are In the some hotel. That may or may not moan something. Frank Is not very good as a listener because he is a lit tie deaf. Therefore the Yankee thunder re Bob Meusel may not go over very big. White Sox Officials Deny Collins Rumor By Associated Press. Chicago, Dec. 12.—The rumor mar ket In the baseball stock exchange here dropped several points yesterday when it was announced that the con ferenco between Clark flrlffith of the Washington Americans and officials of the Chicago Americans had been unable to come to any agreement for the transfer to Washington of Kddle Collins, the White Sox star second baseman. "Collins Is not on the open mar ket.” said Secretary Horry Orablner of the WHite Sox today. “We have had proposals from almost every club 111 the American league for his serv ices, but we want him ourselves. Of course. If we can make a satisfac tory trade, Collins, or any other mem ber of the Sox will be transferred, but w*- are satisfied with our lineup is It stands. The Washington club, however, had no offer that would tempt us to let go a second baseman of Collins' caliber.’’ Former (iiant Star May Manage Newark Newark. N. J., Dec, 12.—Charles (Buck) Herzog, former National league star, probably will manage the Newark club of the International league next season under the Myndl i ate of local men which recently pur chased the franchise. Hi rzog conferred yesterday with the lenders of the syndicate, Including Corbett McCarty, a former business associate of the In,II player, and Michael M, Tig he. No formal an nouncement was Hindi afterward hut 0 It was understood Herzog accepted an offer to handle the dub's reins probably as player-manager. The British Bed Cross society has ■;20 ambulance slatlona throughout the country Ernest Quigley to Have Busy Season on Caging Courts RNEST QUIGLEY. National U league umpire and one of the nation s most noted football and basket 1*11 referees, will be a busy Individual this winter. Already Quigley has on file at his headquarters at St. Marys, Kan., 300 applications for his services as ref eree in basket ball games this win ter. The big show arbiter said that he would arrange a schedule soon with an eye to accepting as many games as possible. Quigley, perhaps, Is the highest paid football referee in the United States. His fame is widespread and thereby hangs a story. Up at Dodge City, Kan., the foot ball team of the high school had a game scheduled with a hated rival. A good referee was needed, so they communicated with Quigley. "What do you pay for a game?" Quigley asked. "Well, we've been paying $10 a game,” the principal of the school told the official. ‘,We need a good man for this Important game,” the school man continued. Quigley took the job, paid his own expenses to Dodge City and return and then took the $10 he was paid for the game and gave It to the umpire and headlineman who were working for nothing. "I like these high school boys,” Quigley said. "They’re the men who'll be up under the big tent some of these days and I like to work their games and study them as they plow Into the line or skirt the end." U. of Washington in of Grid Game Seattle, Wash., Dec. 12.—Complete control of the football gnme at Pasa dena, Cal., New Year's day between the United States Naval academy and the University of Washington has been assumed by the latter In stltutlon, according to a message re ceived ip-re yesterday from Darwin Meisnest, graduate manager at the school.
