ANGELUS BOWLERS -r' I i 1 Former "Times" jScribc Certain He Will Retain Office 'Arbitration, Board to ittle League Issue Monday Five Magnates Stand SoZi Jy Behind Coast President BY IRVING VAUGIl.V 4 EXCLLSIVB DISPATCH CHICAGO, Dec. ,5. Pacific Coast League troubles in which William -McCarthy fis playitjg the villian'by his refusal to be "fired" vas circuit 'executive were brought' to Chicago's, spacious doorstep today by the arrival of Harry A. Williams, former sports "writer of-the Los Angeles. Times, recently elected to the post' by a 5-to-3 vote of the club owners.

Williams said that tjiere was no reason for-him to worry about JfcCarthy'a claims and that he and the five bosses supporting him were confident they would the bacon when the National Hoard of Arbitration, the minor league tribunal, passes on the case Monday. "This is position-1 did not oek." Williams said, "but five club owners of the Pacific Coast League me at the annual meeting held recently at Catalina Island. If five does not beat three then we have no baseball, but only golf, where the low score wins. SCDS RECOGNIZED "Regarding the recognition' of the Seattle club there is no quesv tlon. McCarthy recognized Seattle on the ball field; he recognized Seattle by placing that club In the official standings; he recognized Seattle by accepting $1250 in salary from it, in addition to assessments for league expenses which ho When I was chosen president I recognized Seattle from the chair.

"There la no provision in the racific League constitution which by' any conceivable stretch of the Imagination could be construed as depriving S-ieattle of a vote. Furthermore there is no taint of syndicate baseball in the Pacific Coast League despite the efforts of McCarthy to create that Impression." McCarthy has based his war-like ctand on the claim that it is not the $10,000 per annum position he is agitated over, but the fact that syndicate baseball has a hold in the league. His syndicate cry arose from fact, that -Wade Klllefer and Charles then officials of the Los Angeles club, last spring purchased the Seattle organization and were aided ny William 'Wrier-Icy, owner of the Los Angeles team, to the extent of a note Indorsement for $125,000 for thirty days. LEAGUE DIVIDED Prior to the Seattle sale the Ipague had been divided into anti-McCarthy and antl-Wriglay factions. With Seattle apparently In the hands of Wrigley supporters, McCarthy Immediately saw the passing of the vote needed to get liim out of fBqe and he tried to stall off the inevitable by 'hovl-ing? syndicate ball and denying Seattle a vote In the league affairs pending an Investigation of his claim.

Seattle voted In the annual election, however, and McCarthy vas beaten. He refused to quit. President Ban Johnson of the American League today disposed of the possibility of a conflict between himself and Commissioner Landia ly announcing the junior circuit would hold Its annual meeting here next Tuesday; one day in advance of the time stipulated in the constitution.

Some bright young man has compared the case of Charley raddock and Bill Tlldm, both of wliotu liave encountered dlf- Acuity with the ruling bodies of llielr respective sports. Tlie writer, a weli-knowa casteru sporting authority, draws the conclusion that the two canes are similar and that the public will lino up wqually 'behlnd the 'two starsj. One tlilns this 'writer over- i looks, however. lie forgets that both TaddocU and Tilden made the mistake of -talking too much. Everybody in his right senses things raddock had a perfect right to go to Paris and compete in the in.

tercollcglate gameis, desplto the protest of the A.A.U. Not everybody, however, thinks Paddock did the wise thing in bursting into print with a lot of' charges and statements which didn't do anybody, including himself, any good. The same thing goes for Tildcn. Everybody believes, that the Tnited States rep-. resentatives in the Davis play play should bo selected suflW -lcntly in advance to enable them to get some good practice But Tilden made a mistake In bursting into priwt -with his idea.

If the thought was a good one, the plnee to put it was in the ear of the Davis Cnp committee, and not in tlio public print. A lot of people seem to bo making the mistake of think- ing that Washington is a cluch to wallop the at. Pasa- dent on New Year's Day. Tbey base their bright thoughts on the records of the two teams, While tho point record and likewise the -games won and lost column favor theHusklcs, the two records peally meau mighty little. A lot of folks have the idea that the Navy is poor because the Middies were tied by Princeton and the Army, and were beaten by Pcnn State.

It's no disgrace to be tied by Princeton or the Army any time, and in the Penn fitate game the Middies made fifteen first downs to four for lie Nlt-tany Lions, but couldn't stop Harry Wilson, who waa "run- nin' wild" that day.
