Joe Tinker, manager and jmrt owner of the Columbus team, of the American Association, announced that ho would oppose any move to disrupt the American Association.

Tinker up to tins time has pursued a neutral course, but last night he made the definite statement that he would vote with the Western ch.b owners to prevent disintegration of the circuit. Members or the American Association were noncommunieative when they learned of the aatlon that had been taken by Mr. Hickey. Neither O. H.

Wathen, ownerof the Louisville ball club, nor James McGill, or Indianapolis, would forecast the probable action that would be taken as a counter move. It is understood that when Mr. McGill first heard of the stumbling block to the new league plans- he declared that he would not be a. party to a resumption of the old American Association aiigtiment, but later in the evening he had nothing of the sort to say. Mr.

Wathen. Mr. McGill, Roger Bresnahan, of Toledo; Edward Barrows, president the International League, and Thomas A. Barker, Louisville club attorney, went into conference immediately after the Hickey bomb was exploded, but had nothing to say in regard to the matters that CADETS PLAY KENTUCKY STATE WILL MEET ALABAMA NEXT TWO BASKET QUINTETS PLANNED AT UNIVERSITY on Revision of Constitution of the any redisricting' plan that may be the board to govern the minors should ue created aaong the lines of the Xa tiotia.1 Com ission Air.

It was rumored at times yesterday that of the Southern League, might seJl its franchise to Shreve-porl.

Indications last night, however, were that the men behind the Mobile club are determined to stick to the ship.

Under i decision by the Court of Appeals to-day the Boston American League club will have to pay tbe Baseball Players' Fra ternity 51.4SO. the difference the salary called for in the Red Sox contract of -pi-her Kurv M. Casey) Hageman in 1912 and what he actuaTfy leccived that Qeason plaving with 'Jersey City, then in the International League. Hageman was transferred to Jersey City against his will and an unsuccessful attempt subsequently was made to transfer him to Denver of the Western League. The pitcher then assigned his salary claim to the Baseball Players' Fraternity, which carried the case to the highest court of this State.

The court, before which the case has been pending since May, 1915, did not pas1 upon the general question of transferring a baseball player against his but he held merely that on the statement of facts shown Hagenian was entitled to the salary fixed under the Red Sox contract. NAVAL DISTRICT TEAMS WILL MEET DECEMBER 8 Cambridge. Nov. 13. -Cupid" Black's powerful football eleven from the First Naval district at Newport will meet the.

First Naval district's team from the Boston Navy Yard in the Harvard stadium S. it. was announced here to-night. The Newport has been called an "all-American" combination with its lineup of college jrridiron stars, while the Boston eleven, coached bv Leo Leary. former field coach at Harvard, also has an all-star backfield and wme famous college line- mt rrangements also have been made to brine Eddie Mahan.

In every corner and hallway of the hostelry at Fourth and Walnut streets baseball magnates and managers were gathered, their heads together mapping out a plan of campaign to spring on the other fellow. Owners of big. medium and wee league teams had some thing to say to each other, but nothing for publication.

Charles Ebbetts, owner of the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers, takes rank being the most loquacious man in organized baseball. The mogul from the citj' famous for its churches had a smil, handshake and a little con versation for everybody he came in contact, with, and he came in con tact with everybody attending the baseball convention. Sir Charles seems satisfied with himself and the world at large regardless of the fact that his IflHj pennant winners finished far back in the 1917 race in the junior major league contest. He is going to keep Manager Wilbert Robinson and seems to believe that the corpulent commander will take his men over the top in the 1918 fight. There will be no way for American Association owners to squirm out or say they were misquoted when the present convention lias passed into history.

For the first time in the history of the organization presided over by Tom .1. Htckpy it employed a stenographer to jot down the re ma rk of those who have and purpose to engage in arguments. Jn view of that arrangement owners who have a habit of saying vitriolic things in the heat oi debate win be careful to weigh in on woros wnne expressing thorn selves about th" internal troubles now raging- in their loop. Nothing appeals to a man identified with baseball in any capacity quite as 'much as "putting- it over" on th other fellow. That is an accomplish ment that everybody from bat hoy to president of the club strives diligent ly and persistently to attain.

Con stantly each other is a lavonte practice with many of the men who operate baseball teams the good old V. S. A. As a specific instance. Hickey and his advocates look yon straight your oye.

and solemnly say there will not be a new league; while Wathen, Bresnahan and William McGill loudly and emphat- icanv aeciare mere win be another leajrne. and what is more that it will be a hummer, which side ot the con trovers?" is right is the question that was propounded a thousand times y-f5tTday. Echo answers which side "Slit. Whether school keeps or not. the ball players who are here to witness the game plaj'ed by the moguls are going to enjoy themselves to the limit.

The fate of a league or two can't prevent Cozy Dolan. Claude Cooper, Jimmy Viox and Billy Doyle from attending the court of king mirth. That quartet of club wmgers spent a large portion of their leisure, yesterdav guying umpires, owners and managers to the amusement ot s-'pectators.

Pat said Dolan and Perdue fed it ice cream, which caused the animal to puffer from cholera morbus. Dolan denied the charge.

A reunion of old teammates was held" in Branch Rickey's apartments at The Seelbach from o'clock last night until breakfast this morning. The occasion for-the long drawn-out social session was that every member of the party demanded (hat he give a detailed account of his career since they parted conipany in lfltQ. the year they won the Texas League flag for Dallas. Those who coin-posed the party were Branch Rickey, owner ot the St. Ixmis Nationals: Billy Dovle, Charley Moran and Charley Barrett.

Moran was the manager of the Dallas team at that time. Doyle and Barrett guarded outfield posts and Rickey caught. Accoroing to uoyje. the owner of the iuound City National Leaguers went through the 1903 season without having a passed ball or muffed foul fly charged against his record. "An enviable record, but an actuality." chimed in Barrett and Moran.

Charles St is. manager of the Ft. Dodge team, is a typical Westerner. Stis moves with the rapidity of a repeating rifle. Yesterday he participated! in twenty-seven conferences in as many different places, visited Camp Zachary Taylor and saw three moving picture shows before dinner.

St. John, of Ohio State University, is the-man in view now. The deal with Jack Hendricks wan called off officially yesterday afternoon when Hendricks hint self announced that he would be back at 'the helm of-the Indians in 191S. The bitterness between Hendricks and James C. JIcGill.

president of the club, that resulted because of McGIU's refusal to release Hendricks ho he could become manager of the St. Ixmis Nationals next season, ended last night. Hendricks, who previously declared ho would rather return to hi law practice than manage Indiana polls next season, issued a statement that he had forgotten tho whole affair and would) do ail he could to win another pennant for Indianapolis hi WIS." "It haa always- been my ambitjon to manage a major league club and I sought this one. but ha.ve been disappointed," Hcndrfck's statement read. "I am going back to Indianapolis and try to fill up the weak spots caused by the drafting of Wickland for the army and the enlistment of O' Leary lu the navy.

The whole affair has been forgotten and I will do all I can to help win another pennant in 191R." President McCiill revealed to-night that he Iiad demanded 515,000 from Branch Hickey, manager of the St. Louis club, for Mendrick's contract. Rickey declined this proposal. The St. Louis club president sought to sign Hendricks last Monday with the understanding that Hendricks was at liberty to negotiate.

HenciriCKs nau ijuu McGill agreed release- him if an opportunity to manage a major league club presented itself. Mr. It ckev also save out the follow ing letter and statement in regard to the Hendricks case: "Louisville. Nov. 13, Mr.

Branch. Rickey, St. Louis, Mo. Dear Mr. Rickey You asked me to make a short statement regarding your position in our negotiations and here it is: "When I met you in Chicag-o I recall that about the first question you askeL me was as to whether or not 1 was free to consider a managership of a major league club and free to sign a contract.

I told you that was. I did not. think it necessary to dl you that I had a contract with Mr. McGill, as I felt there would be no difficulty whatever about it. want you to know that I do not feel that you are in any way to blame for having made me the proposition: nor do feel that anyone is to blame, as the whole responsibility should be placed upon my shoulders.

"I think I told Mr. McGill in my loiter that I had told you about my contract, but tliis was an error, because when I spoke to you in Chicago, I told you emphatically that I had the right to deal with a major league club, and still believe so. Of course I regret that it was necessary for you to call off our arrangement when you found' that contract existed. Very' sincerely youra, -JOHN" "McGill admitted to me that he had given Hendricks his word, too. that he would release him," Rickey said, "and I resent the accusation made by him.

When Hendricks informed me that ho was at liberty to negotiate, put every penny I could offer into his salary, thinking-, of course, that 1 would not be called upon to reimburse McGill. I regret tnat failed to land Hendricks. It was a big disappointment. I want to make it plain, however, that I acted In a straghtforward manner. I did not attempt to steal Hendi-Jck.

There Is no truth in the re-port that I have opened new negotiations. The deal is oiT so tar as i am. concerned. COLUMBIA CAPTAIN OUT, DUE TO BLOOD POISON New York. Nov.

HOW OLD IS THE EARTH (Popular Monthly.) The rsalt of the ocean has been mado to give an answer to tho question of the age of the earth.

then, we can divide the entire amount of salt at present itn the ocean by the amount carried down in a year the quotient will the probable age of the earth. Simple? Oh, yes.

Ths move yesterday in a sense out- maneuvered the association magnates who are behind the new league, for they believed the fight would be made from the floor of the convention and were using the time to acquire additional support. It requires a three-fourths vote of the National Association to amend the charter, a step necessary before any redisricting can be attempted. It ia known that the YVathen-McGitl-Bres-nahan faction did not have this support last night, and that of the thirteen dubs represented they had only a little than one-half pledged 10 their cause. Hickey Still Positive. Thomas J.

Hickey, president of the American Association, in announcing that he had appeared before the Committee on Revision pf the Constitution, reiterated his belief that there would be no third league, and intimated that in case of a break by the Eastern owners the. matter would be taken to the highest courts of the land, both baseball and judicial. "There will be no new league." he declared. "We have determined on that, and whatever remains to be done will be settled within the ranks of the association. Tinker, in announcing his stand, said: "I have not declared myself up to this time because 1 have been waiting to see what the new league had to offer.

I do not sec now how such a proposition can go through without disrupting the association, and as 1 am for anything that will hurt baseball, especially the association, I am not the new league.
