Paris Spoi lsmen
Fear Los Angeles
May Get (James
No Plans Made for 1921
Olympic Because of Wrangle
Over Who Should Asmuiic
Charge of Frr nth Plans.
Paris, Dec. 9. Paris sportsmen arc
now becoming seriously alarmed over
the delay in starting arrangements
for the Olympic Raines (or July, 1924,
awarded to Paris by the Internation.il
Olympic committee at Lausanne.
They fear tlmt, unless homctliing i
done before the end of the year, the
committee may reconsider its de
cision and give the games to Los
Angelc.
All the architects thus far con
stilled concede that it will take near
ly three years to construct a suitable
stadium. Yet neither has the ground
for such a stadium been chosen nor
has any bill been introduced either in
parliament or the municipal council
setting aside funds for its construc
tion. The French foreign office played
an important part in seeming the
l''J4 K'lmes for Paris, l'.i.th Presi
dent Millerainl and Premier Uriand
realized the value of the propaganda
resulting to France if the meet were
held here, and they urged French
members of the committee fo press
the claims of Paris very strongly.
The city of Paris also took a
strong hand. Tie municipal author
ities argued that the summer season
for Paris would thus be prolonged
far beyond the running of the Grand
Prix, when the capital is usually
cmi tied of thousands of wealthy rcsi-
dents and visitors who go to the sea
side resorts. " They estimated that
the games would bring several, mil
lion francs to the hotel wd shop
keepers of Paris.
But once the decision was reached
there began a wrangle as to who
should assume charge of the arrange
ments. The foreign office wants to
boss the show, because it originated
the idea of bringing the games here.
The department of public instruction,
which has as one of its branches a
department of sjiort, has put in its
bid. liven certain officials of the
ministry of war and of the ministry
of the interior think their depart
ments should arrange for tlie meet,
and naturally the mnnicipal council,
of Paris is having a lot to say.
Ail these various officials are ex
changing notes and battling for con
trol. Meanwhile, nothing actually
has been done to plan for. the 1924
Olympic. '
McGraw Boasts of
All-Star Infield
New York, Dec. 9. John J', Mc
Graw, manager of the New York
Giants, expressed the ' belief todav
that Hemic Groh, his $100,000 infield
acquisition, would make the teams'
infield the greatest he ever has man
aged, i "I will place him on third, of
course, for Heinie has no superior
anywhere as a third sacker," said
McGraw. "Frisch will be moved to
second, where he belongs and would
father play. He'll be the same shin
ing light, too. With Kelly on first
and Bancroft at short well, wait
and see."

' ' f"sw A CUslAcs
Base Ball May Open Gates to
"Outlaw" Play, r, -Clubs Make
. Overtures to Prodigal Sons
Chicago, Dec. 9. Organized base
ball is said to have undergone a
change of heart in regard to i;s
rules against players who either
failed to report or jumped to the
so-called "outlaw" ranks. Certain
minor league players who were put
outside the fold for neglecting to
observe the reserve clause already
have received overtures to return,
and it was learned yesterday that the
leagues will take similar steps
to bring the wayward sons back
home.
1 f the majors decide to act con
trary to the rules and regulations
they will, have plenty of arguments
to back up tiicir right-about-face
movement. First of all, players of
ability are scarce, which is indi
cated by McGraw paying an alleged
$75,000 for O'Connell, the Frisco
lirst-sackcr. Secondly, by barring
good men the majors are aiding the
so-called "outlaws" and the semi
pros, and, lastly, there is an evident
desire on the part of the organized
ball notables to clean up the books
and start all over again. '
Any movement to restore in-bad
athletes, naturally, would have to
have the indorsement of the supreme
commissioner, otherwise it would
fail. However, despite the fact that

New Y'ork, Dec. 9. A check for
$24,573, representing additional pro

Mathewson, former pitching star of

he is ill of tuberculosis. Several

Remembers When Foot Ball Players
Railroad Fare and Purchase
Muscatine, la., Dec. 9. E. C. Nich
ols, captain of the University of
Iowa's first foot ball team in 1886,
states that in the old college days,
sports were frowned on by the uni
versity authorities.
"They never made any objections
to the te'am going to play," he ex
plains "provided the players turned
out for dress parade Friday after
noon and were back for roll call Mon
day morning. Only short trips were
possible."
Mr. Nichols was chosen captain of
the first team on account of his drop
kicking ability. The team was never
defeated during his three years as
caotain.
The players had to pay their own
railroad fare, furnish their own
equipment, and stand all other ex
pense in those days, according to Mr.
Nichols. '
""We had to rent our own play
ing field then, and it was generally
in some nearby pasture," he re
lates. Iona'foot ball teams did not boast
Days Perform
Landis only a few months bark sus
pended for a term of years all
athletes who refused to report, he
no doubt would listen to a good
argument in favor of lifting the pres
ent barriers. The movement would
have to be carried along by each club
dealing with its own ineligible play
ers and then bringing each case
separately before thfc big boss of the
works.
The commissioners' report for the
current year has not yet been pub
lished so no record of suspended
players on big league rosters is avail
able. It is known, however, that
there are enough men outside the
fold to make up a fairly capable ball
team. One fellow who was men
tioned in press dispatches just a few
days ago is Joe Harris. He was
a dandy prospect when with Cleve
land and after bring discharged
from the army he took up "outlaw"
ball in Pennsylvania. The White
Sox are said to be seeking him.
According to word ir.om Buffalo
waivers were asked by the Cubs on
Outfielder George Maisel and the
Sox refused to waive. Then it was
learned that the player had cost the
Cubs $12,500 and the So.x immediate
ly withdrew their claim because of
a difference in the interpretation of
the rule governing such cases.

a coach in the eighties, but the stu
dents were trained in gymnastics by
a paid instructor, and a collection
was taken up to pay his salary. Foot
ball players were not required to live
up to any eligibility rules.
"There is quite a difference be
tween foot ball of those days and the
game now," says Mr. Nichols. "There
was no running with the ball then.
The players had to kick it or bat it
with their fists and were not allow
ed to punt
"The idea was to drop kick or bat
the ball between the goal posts, which
counted for one goal for the suc
cessful team. The playing field then
was longer than now. The team
that scored the first three out of five
goals was the winner.
"There were 15 men on each side,
but only the fullback had a set posi
tion he had to play back all of the
time."
Mr. Nichols is of the opinion that
foot ball was a rougher game then
than it is now. Tackling was not
permissible , in thoic days and a

The Grace basket ball team rolled
over the First Reforms for a 5 to 4
victory and the Clifton Hill augre
gatiotr took (he measure of the Wal
nut Hills by a 16 to 11 count in the
feature games in the Church league
last night.
In the other contests, the Dundee
Presbyterian humbled the First
Methodists, 25 to o, while the First
Christians ran away from the Park
Methodists on the long end f a
22 to 2 tabulation.
Free tosses proved the deciding
factor in the Graco Methodist-Ke-forincd
tilt. Banner tossed the
Methodist's lone basket and Beb
bington made two free throws and
Nixon one. llomberg dropped the
ball through the hoops for tlx- Re
form's four points. Reeves' failure
to make free throws out of five at
tempts cost his quintet the game.
