Battle of Magnates Due at Louisville Meeting of Western Loop Club Owners a St. Joseph, Mo., Oct. 12. That " Western league meeting, . which ac cording to advance reports is to be held in J ouisvil'e November 11, is almost certa:n to be one which will furnish plenty of real excitement and sensations for all concerned, for as the prospects now line up it appears that the rnanates are in for the busiest and most prolific session of tjieir young lives. To begin with, there is bound to be readjustment of the circuit. Dickerson has said thatnhe Western did well during the past season. Pure eamouPare. Those who know any thing of base ball know also that out aide of two cities, every town on the Western map lost money. According to the Dtckerson report. Ed Hanlon'i team made money while in St Joseph, according to the secretary of the club, the team did not break even here, although it did much bet ter than at Sioux Citv. Ed Hanlon returned from the wes this week and was surprised when he learned of the decision to hold a meetinw in I ouisville. Hanlon is' in Sioux Gty now and expresses the be lief that the meeting should 'have been held within the Wes'ern l eague circuit. However, he will not raise any objection to the place of ho'ding it provided the meeting brings forth ome of the results which he most de sires first of which is adjust things between himself, the league and Jack Holland so that all three know just where thev s'and. The civic organi sations of this town want Hanlpn, that has been established beyond per adventure of a doubt It is not Hugh Jones nor Ducky Holmes they crave, It is Ed Hsn'on and they are going to fight hard to retain htm, but there is a growing suspicion that league politics are being played to keep Hanlon out of this town and to re turn the franchise if indeed this was ever ta'-en fnm him to Jack Hol land, who will in turn dispose of it to some other magnate, probably Jones. ( Hanlon and Pourke are in favor of cutting loose from the league as at present constituted and of joining forces with four towns of lie Amen an association and leaving the West rn free to remain in such towns as lutchinson. Joplin and Wichita. i Despite' the fact that Lincoln tost money last season, with every plan luggested the Nebraska capital is jcluJed as a strong pobability for I membership in a larger and 'stronger circuit for next . season. Perhaps this is due. to. the fact that I t'nco'n, given a square deal in which the fortunes of some other newcomer in the league are not considered first, is recognized as a live ball town. Den ver is in the discard in all tbt cal cd'at'ons. while Omrha, Des Moines and St. Joseph are inevitably Jinked together It is the feelinv among a good many of the base ball men that a circuit composed of these four towns and tour from the American associa t on would make an ideal "river to river league. Of course Milwaukee is figured in these calculations and is a hit over the Mississ:ppi line, but i I!, - . . t J smaii inings iikc inai can ot waived. Then the chance of these four clubs being 1'nked with Davenport, Peoria, Kock Island and perhaps bioux City tor a new Western league. Strange things are being done. The presidents office in Kansas City has been closed, the executive has gone to Grand Rapids to spend the winter, the .magnates are scurrying back and forth, hold:n hurried conferences. each one disclaims any knowledge of what is to happen at the league meet ing and yet one just as decidedly de clares that base ball history is to be made at that session. And there is to be a fine little row when the opposing forces meet, you may depend upon that, for the Han-lon-Rourl-e crowd have lined uo ajrainst the Holland-Jones crew and is Ii'ely to fly when the "ma- nuts" gather about the festal board in Colonel Watterson's home.

Address Anygirl. Yes, Vernoon, your surmise "was en tirely justifiable, but your inference that Saint Vitus is the muse of danc ing is without warrant - i Geno Delmont, the southern feath erweight, is anxious to hook up in a clash with any New England boxer before a Boston club. , , Both the Cincinnati Reds and the St Louis Cardinals moved up from their second division berth in 1916 to the first division this year: Unofficial batting averages show that Duffy Lewis of the Red Sox land ed within the .300 circle at the very finish of the season. New York boxing promoters are angling for a return match between Jack Dillon and Harry Greb, the clever Pittsburgh middleweight. . A number of foot ball coaches are needed at the various military training camps. The position carries with it a salary of $1,800 a year. Slam Anderson, former Badger and Yale gridiron star, is assisting Coaches Richards and Jones with the University, of Wisconsin foot ball squad. Frank Moran says he wants to box Carl Morris and if Morris persists in foul fighting Moran will use similar tactics and rough-house the. Okala homa giant Johnny Ertle, the St. Paul claim ant to the bantamweight tile, will be a sorely disappointed boxer if Cham pion Pete Herman refuses to meet him before the latter joins the. arm v. . Dartmouth's foot ball squad has been increased by the nuexpected re turn of Gene Neely, the one-armed guard who gained quite a fepuation as a clever gridder latyear. Rumor has it that both the Braves and Red Sox first sackers are likely to become managers next season. Konetchy of the Braves is slated as the Casdinals' pilot and Hoblitzel is down to lead the Red Sox. Clarence De Mar. former marathon title holder, made a remarkable "come-back" when he won the Brock ton rriarathon in record time. , In this event De Mar defeated a trio of star distance runners, comprising Villir Lyronen, Arthur Roth.and Bill Ken nedy." ' The Baltimore Orioles of twenty years ajo. have more members still in the major leagues than any other of the same aje ever had. McGraw, manager of the Giants; Robinson, manager of the Dodgers; ; Kelley, scout of the Yr.nkees. and Coach GJeasoh of the White Sox are all Ori ole veterans. Tvobert Folwell announced thit Pennsylvania univeroity has decided tp do away with paid scouting this season. Whether this means that the Quakers will be without that , e'aVorate system of espionage whirh various important e'evens have de ve'oped in the course of modern foot ball depends on whe. ier or not there are a'umni sufiiciently versed in the technique of the ftame who are will ing to give their services free of charge. It is reasonable to assume that such will not Le the case, and that, as a consequence, Pennsylvania's intelligence bureau will be rather loosely ordered. The system of scouting which has grown wide, complete and expensive to and including the season of 1916. had its hitter opponents .and its staunch adherents. Those who were against it denounced it as an im portant phase of the theory of any- , thing for. victory, coupling it with such evils as expensive coaching staTs, transfer of students from one co'lce to r-other arid preparatory school prose' -tinr. Proponents , of the system hr ' that anv team organ ized to p'ay foot ball along advanced lines, and which exoected to meet well traced rvrls with hope of suc cess could not forego the advantafe of some dcrree of familiarity with " their basic formations, and with the style, prowess and specialized attri bu'es of in 'ividuals. , Scouting in former times was not such an important "factor in the de velopment of an eleven as it hzs come to be. A coach would leave his squad or send an assistant once or twice in the course of a season to witness the coming opponent in action against an other stronT e'even. Later, however, the practice of scouting was system etized and special' staffs of keen ob servers reeru'ted for this purpose. For examnle, the coach of a big eleven would detail one or two ten to at tend every game played by a rival co!lrre team, their reports coming in ' veek by week and kept carefully on file for reference artainst the time when it was necessary tp prepare tor', the crucial contest against that out fit. The fans in Pittsbu; fh are showing unusual enthusiasm ver bae ball. They realize that the season is over.
