that It win lo6k like this when the 1914

head he are In, umpire's or not?
.Our guess is that while a man by name

Omaha team next season, it will not be
Bill Dahlen, though at tint, wo might do
worse.
Note that the man Dolan Included in

Barney Dreytius.
Brooklyn, led by the veteran Wilbert

'And, of- course, If Wilbert Boblnson
should fall down as maaager of th

Do you think Tinker will not accept a

FIRESTONE TIRE COMPANY
ADDS SEVERAL BRANCHES
During the lost few months many new
branches have been opened by the Fire
stone Tire company. Among them are
those in Newark, N- J., Bochester and
Syracuse, N. Y.S Des Moines. la.; Portv
land. Ore., and Oakland, Cat That in
Portland will be" ready fof business by
January 1. Other branches are being
planned and within a few months addi
tions to the tire factory ln Akron will
be completed which will permit a 40 per
cent increase ln output to take care of
the greater trade the coming year Is sure
to bring. The present Firestone tire fac
tory was erected in 1911, and twice since
then additions have been necessary.

up in Cincinnati, Johnny Kllng, who
caught thirty-seven less games than
Tommy Clarke, having an average 'as a
thrower that was 0.1C better than that
amassed by his youns teammate.
All told, there wore 1240 National

Tennis Experts to
Try for Place on
Defending Team
NEW YOBIC Deo. 13. "Walcolm D.
Whitman and "William A. Larned have;
Blgnttted their Intention of playing tennis)
next year and ot making a erlous try
to get on the defending Davis cup team,"
said Georgo A dee, 'member tf 'the Snter-:
national committee for the Davis cup.
"I have talked with both Whitman and
lArnefl -repeatedly since thn dose bt the
tennis season," said ABee. "oni they
are both very serious in their resolve
to make another try for charnpfonship
laurels. Neither was beaten out ot his
championship and both retired when the!
publlp belloved them to bo impregnable.
H Is ridiculous to speak of "coming
back" id their cases ,'for Whitman 1s
only ' yeani old, on age when tennis
men ore supposed to be at their very
best ln Europe. Larned, 'It Is true, has
grassed the 40-year mark, but. Ilk Whit
man, has taken exertional care of him
self. Both of these anon' are today laeai
tpes of athletes. Larned has been both-
rered At Intervals with a little toucn oi
rheumatism, but I believe his -present
course ot light training has put that be
yond the bothersome point I am one
of those who believe that Laxned and
Whitman are wonders on a tennis court
and that they owe It to the publlo to help
us next year. I am In now way belittling
tho brilliancy of Maurice E. WoLaughlln,
lUchard N orris Williams or W ot the
youngsters who have done no nobly of
late when I say that the two veterans
are needed.
"There is another ihoentive for the
return of the two masters, 'and that Is
the expressed Intention of II. L. Doherty
to come over hore next year. He, with
the help ot his brother, now dead, is the
only foreigner who ever took away oilr
national tltlo and also the Davis cup."
Malcolm Whitman was three times
champion of this country, winning the
title Ih 1698, when Rohert D. Wrenn de
faulted and himself defaulting four
years later to William A. Larned. Since
his retirement ln "1900 Whitman has con-si-.

NEW YORK, Dec, B.-As a sequel to
the recent world's .series a number of
uaseBtions hav been advanced for re
vising the. present system In vogue In
the meeting of tho pennant winners of
the two roKJOr leagues each year. Various
objections have been raised by both mag
nates and playeri regarding the round
robin series s proposed by Garry Herr
mann Wid other sufrestlons along similar .
lines". The latest proposal, whlbh comes'
from a New England, base ball authority,

11-Amerlean, :teams from the National
and Amorlcan leagues playing tor the
world's title.
It Is proposed that a committee, selected
from the members of the Base Ball
Writers' association, appoint two all
league teams, one from the American and
tho other from the National league, and
that these combinations play a series ot
nine games for the world's champlonnhlp,
each game to be played ln a different city
on the two big circuits. The plan colls
for the cohlcs to be limited to twenty
players in each league, and also would
limit a player's sllgiUllty to two years
of such world's championship play. The
selection of each player would be made
by a .majority vote In the committee,
and no city would have more than one
representative on suqh committee.
Would He Teat of Ability.
The father ot the Idea points out that
such a plan would provide a series be
tween the beet players of each league
and would thus prove & test Of tho play
ing ability of the two rival organisations.
It would further give star players ln sec
ond division clubs a chance to share In
the world's series money, and the fans
ot the two leagues In almost every city
In the two circuits an opportunity to
witness at least one game of each sea
son's world series. From a financial
standpoint the sixteen clubs composing
the two major leagues would all share in
the receipt and the leading players as
well. By limiting the eligibility ot a player
tp two years the way would bo open for
new and rising players to figure in the
series.
It is pointed out that such a plan
woul do
Jeers of those players and magnatos
who feel that they are entitled to a por
tion of the thousands ot dollars now an
nually divided by the leading clubs of
the two leagues. Those who have heard
the scheme explained and do not approve
ot It claim that it in too Utopian for
professional base ball and opens the way
for charges of favoritism and wire pull
ing during the selection process. They
further contend that the Interest, being
national rather than centralised, would
result in a heavy falling off In gate re
ceipts and lead to the eventual collapse
NEW YOniC, Dec. 1.-The traditional
prejudice against freshmen playing on
varsity teams seems to bo losing ground.
Yalo recently announced that the under
class men will bo ellglblo for Iho Var
sity basket hall team, and It was learned
that Princeton, beginning next season.
would allow them to compete on teams
In minor sports. Soccor foot ball will be
the first pastime that the Tigers will
experiment with, nnd If the venture proves
a success It will be extended to other
minor sports.
Columbia always has held that tho bne
year rule la unnecessary and cannot help
In any way toward bettering sports, and
to It this move by tho big colleges
seems a significant victory. Last seaaon
Columbia withdrew from the hockey
leaguo because the rule held good.
Itather than submit and thereby admit
Columbia was in error Graduate Man
ager Fisher withdrew the team from the
league.
Few of the small colleges held to tho
ruling, not so much as a matter ot prin
ciple aa that it Is a question either ot
using the freshmen material or abandon
ing many -minor sports. 'The expense,
too, of supporting freshmen teams nad to
be considered by them,
"I have always fought against tho one
year eligibility rule." said Henry Fisher
yesterday, "because I could never see
what good It did a school to bar students
in good standing from competing on var
sity teams. We hold to it in .the crew
only becauro popular 'opinion desires rt.
freshman race. But who Is vlially tp4j
tereated In freshman basket ball, root
ball, hockey game or track meet? ,
"It R college sees tit to support fresh
men, teams all well and good, but thiy
should not make a fixed rule that every
college "roust do it or have Its treshmen
remain Inactive. The smaller colleges
need the men nnd should be allowed to
use them as they see fit and should not
be domineered by the hlg universities,
which have a wealth of material on hand
and do not need to draw from the first
year classes.
"I think the rule will die a natural
death eventually. As for Columbia, thn
institution will continuo to Hie the year
lings on tho various teams."

Looking Forward to

NEW YOrtK. TJOC 13,-PracttCal ath

campaign Tor the Olymplo meet of Ml
In Berlin, and every effort is being made
to strengthen the forces In the spots
that, are admittedly weak. Among the
new departures advocated la the inclu

(event has been a fixture In Olymplo con
tests and Is one In which with proper
preparation America stfould be able to
score. A general inclusion of the ovent
In games programs would. It Is argued,
meet with response from tho clubs and)
lead to the development of a winning I
team. In order to encourage the tug!
