C. OLEARY. The National League magnates, after a.

four days session in New York, ad joumed their annual meeting last night, leaving quite a bunch of business to be! definitely disposed of at the schedule meeting In February and some commit-tee work to be done mean while In conjunction with a committee of the American League. wr A committee on rules was appointed which will take up the- suggestion of Pres, Haughton of the Boston club that new rules be enacted which will affect present 'dominance of the pitchers, result In more hlttjng in, the games, and increase the number of the .300 stickers. It-seems to be -generally conceded that more safe hits would add zest to the exhibition and so please the fans. Reducing the number of balls which entitles a batsman to first' base from 5ur to three, and allowing only the first foul hit by a batsman to be recorded againat him as a strike, which have been suggested, certainly would reduce the now In favor of the pitcher and Increase the batters chances. It would also help base run-ners quite a bit.

for the pitcher could not afford to pitch many waste balls. The playing time would also be shortened. I The rules committee has been asked to report on this matter at the next meeting, and the "no-hit game" may become a greater rarity than It Is at present as a result of Us to consider the reduction in salaries, which is et re to come to them, before they ill be expected to report, for Spring training, for the declaratioi that the "players salaries must 1 be scaled dawn met with unanimous agreement among the magnates. DIDNT GO OFF The which it was said Barney Dreyfuss was going to hurl Into' the nieelng In an effort to bump Garry Herrmann off the National Commission! failed to explode, or, in any event, failed to disturb Garry in his position. The other managers failed -to see-things in the same light the Pittsburger saw them, and the latter had to play a lone uand.

Herrmann declared that he wasquite -willing to resign from the commission if action would benefit organized ball, but all those present except Mr Dreyfuss declared they did not relish any change in the personnel of tho supreme court of baseball. This also may be a tip on what action both leagues will take regarding the reorganization propose, by the minor leagues. There is no doubt but what Dreyfuss feels pretty sore over the action of the commission in the-. Sisler case. He thinks that he was unfairly deprived of the services qf a great player, and one of the stars of the game.

If I could get the price I wanted, I would sell. my club and get out of baseball, he is reported to 1 have said. There are a lot of others who would do the same thing, and they have no particular grievance. On top of this cotnes the story tbat James E. Gaffney, former owner of the Braves, is anxious to get back Into baseball.

"I would like to get back Into baseball, says Mr Gaffney, "if I could find a'proposltion that looked good enough." Both Dreyfuss and the -former owner of the Braves are rather fastidious about what they want, and it is not nkely they will get together. Mr Gaffney would like to buy the.

CONTRACTS WILL BE LATE The new form of contract framed by the National Commission was approved, with the exception of the' 10 days release clause, the wording of which Is to be revised by tho National Commission and passed upon at the next meeting. It v.ould appear, therefore, that the National League players at least, would not be tenoered their contracts until pretty late, and will not have much time TWO ENGLISH HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY Vincent Morton, Captain and Center (at Left) and J. PLAYERS J. Ollare, Jr, Point WJ one of the most popular players and leaders of the last 10 years.

The other end position was held down most of the season by Rodney Cole, but an lrnry kept him on the side lines in several games, and Chester Fraim, the halfback, was used there with success. The tackle positions were filled by Donald Miller and Philip Kingsbury and both did excellent work. Miller was the stronger and more aggressive player, and was chosen for All-Interscholastic teams. The regular guards were Warren Rullo on the left side and Nathan Coleman on the right flank, and comparatively little ground was made through them. Edward Eastman, at center, ranked with the best hereabouts.

Waltham can largely thank Frank Smith, the doughty little quarterback, for its excellent record, for he used great judgment In almost every game and his ability to carry the ball was conspicuous. Defensively, although a light player, he more than held his own. Smith is a likely candidate for captain for next season. The regular fullback was Ashley PACIFIC COAST TENNIS READY FOR FIGHT ON AMATEUR QUESTION Not since 1907 has Waltham High School tad a stronger football team than the ec developed this FalL Not so much was expected of it as in past years when the season opened, but it made a grand Enlsh- It lost only one game, that with Brookline Hieh. and tied one, that with yewton High.

Norman Kradd, an old Springfield I'ollege athlete, coached the leam. and when it is taken into consideration that ho had to develop a number of new players, he made good, for the team earned the right to be classed with the best in the State. It was the eilv tram tnat defeated Somerville H.gb. It Is the general opinion that Waltham, Somerwlle and Brookline High and Rndee Technical were the four leading Hieh School teams of Greater Boston this Fail. The largest score of toe season this State was hung up by VTaltham High on Xov 21, when it defeated Leominster High, 101 to 6.

Coach fradd tried out IS players in that game. Charles McGahan, the diminutive end, was captain of the eleven and he was Live Tips and Topics By SPORTSMAN v. orked In 40 games for the Phillies, and showed signs for being "there" 1917. Playing against 29 opponents at the Manhattan Chess Club, Frank J.

BAN FRANCISCO, Dec lS-Desplt the: statement from the executive committee of the United States National Tennis Association that; clubs on the Pacific Coast are not united in the protest against the proposed amateur rule which would make ineligible some of the leading players in this State, officials in this section today declared that the protest is well night unanimous. At a meeting of the Pacific Coast Tennis Association in Oakland last week preparations were made for a fight against the proposed legislation, and there1 were new rumblings of revolt. A committee composed of Dr Sam P. Hardy, former coast champion, and S. R.

Marvin was appointed to draw up a statement of the Pacific Coast Association's stand in the matter. A copy of this statement, which will be transmitted to George T. Adee and the eother National officials in New York, was obtained today. The statement concurs In some details with the framers of the proposed amateur rule, hut in so far as Maurice B. McLoughljn, Billy Johnston, Johnny Strachan and Tom Bundy are concerned the coast body apparently intends to stand by them to the end.

All four are connected with the sale of tennis and other sporting goods, which will be sufficient to disqualify them from amateur tennis competition If the new rule is passed at the annual meeting in New York. in. February. Another Objection Another objecton regstered by the local association in the proposed amendment provided for the control by the National 'executive committee of a' clubs right to make money out of the game, a privilege heretofore resting solely with the officials of each club.

Dickerman Made Fine Record In His First Year as Coach Cousens and he was one of the leading ground gainers.

Charles Gately was the real hero of the backfield. He played right halfback and could always be depended upon In the pinches. William Flaherty played the opposite halfback to Gately and toward the end of the season his work was conspicuous. Wyman Rogers, halfback and end; Gregory, halfback; Conniff. quarterback; Bemish, right guard; Limberg, right tackle Veno, McDonald and.

Curry, ends, and Flint, right tackle, also did fine work when called upon to play. Among the teams beaten by Waltham High were: Marlboro High, 7 to Somerville High, 7 to Leominster High, 101 to -3; Natick High, 14 to Alumni, 7 to Everett High. 44 to Cambridge Latin, 7 to 0, and All-Stars, 7 to 6. Wal-them closed its season last Saturday by the game with the All-Stars. In recognition of the record of the team Waltham citizens have planned a banquet sometime after the Christmas recess.

C. last night. Eddie Flynn of Lynn was to have been Connellys opponent, hut Flynn did pot like Connellys game so McFarland was substituted. As McFarland had boxed 12 hard rounds the night previous, therefore ho insisted that a draw be agreed upon if both men were on their feet at the finish.

Connelly had the better of the milling and the agreement robbed him of a victory. McFarland did not make mahy attempts to box, continually clinching, and the referee was kept busy breaking the pair apart. Connelly tried hard to score a knockout. He landed hts left hook and right to McFarlands body and jaw many times, but was unable to topple him. Joe Rivers of Gloucester, in the semi- final, stopped Bill Casey of South Boston in the eighth round, sending over a couple of rights on the Jaw.

"Shaver" OBrien of South Boston won the decision over Louis Leonard of the North End in eight rounds arid Johnny Buckley of South Boston defeated Tommy Fox of Charlestown in six rounds. The program for next Friday night is: Sammy White Bay Durette, six rounds: "Chick West vs Tommy McFarland, 10 rounds; Paul Demers vs Tony Vatlin, 10 rounds; Charley Sheppard vs Johnny Donovan, 10 rounds. $1000 TO BACK NIXON 4 Harvard Student of the Gold Coast" Confident Billy Cart Wnip Carlson at 133 Pounds Billy Nixon, the Cambridge lightweight, has a warm admirer in a wealthy Harvard student, who resides on the "Gold Coast." Nixon boxed Harry Carlson recently and was the loser, but the stqdent Is confident that Nlron can win at 133 pounds, and Is ready to back him for $1000. There are not many of the local boys who ran get such backing. It would be a good bout.

HATCH DOESNT fcNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT NEW YORK. Dec 16 Sidney Hatch, the famous Chicago marathoner, who is here for the. big Yonkers denies anv knowledge of how the Philadelphia promoters came to advertise him as a starter in the professional 72-hour race, which will be held in Spring Garden, Philadelphia, Dec 25 to 30. Hatch insisted he knows nothing about the race and is at loss to explain the action of the Philadelphia promoters. If Hatch did enter the professional pace he automatically would be disqualified from further, amateur competition.

If upon Investigation the A. A. U. finds that the Philadelphia promoters billed Hatch without his knowledge or consent they may ask the A. A.

U. officials in Philadelphia to bring court charges against the promoters. Hatch will be allowed to start in the Yonkers race today, but any prize he wins may be held up until the Philadelphia matter is looked Into.

Most of the coaches and captains think cross-country work is the best to condition the boys. Boston Latin, Boston English High, Brighton High, Dorchester High, Hyde Park High, Charlestown High, East Boston High and South' Boston High are to be represented by teams.

Ralph Crowley has been chosen captain of the Boston Latin team and Harold Stuart has been appointed manager. Boston English High, according to the players and Coach Daniel OFlaherty, should have another formidable team this Winter. Vincent Morton, who played a fine game last Winter, has been chosen captain and predicts that another city championship will oe annexed. Only two other veterans of the 1916 seven are back, J. J.

OHaro Jr, who played a brilliant game at point, and J. A. MacDonald. OHare was chosen captain of the seven for this Winter, but resigned because of parental objection. He intends to play hockey, but will not report for practice until after the Christmas recess.

tennis goods business, and it is here that we differ from them. Second Radical Change "That there la growing tendency among lawn tennis players to enter the sporting goods business is the result of natural growth In both the sporting goods business and in the popularity of the game itself. "The second radical change in the policy of the National Association the control of clubs in making money out of the games is expressed in the following proposed amendment, which states that a player shall cease to be an amateur 'by playing in a team or exhibition match where gate receipts are charged, unless permission to hold such match shall have been previously obtained from the executive committee or from a subcommittee appointed by the executive committee. "We believe that it is legitimate for a club to hold exhibition or team matches where gate receipts are charged, and that lawn tennis can in no way suffer from such a practice. There is no essential difference between a club holding a tournament and.

with the help of other clubs, making money out of the game and two or more clubs combining to make money out of the game by holding team or exhibition matches. i "The National Association is desirous of keeping clubs out of any partnership for the purpose of making money, but we hold that since it is necessary for the maintenance and development of a clpb to have money it is right for a club to follow the established custom of making that money by combining with other clubs in the giving of team or exhibition matches.

A. A. hockey player, who is now with Massachusetts Field Hospital No. 2 at Camp Pershing, El Paso, and the outlook for his being available for hockey this Winter Is not bright. He states that he mav bave to remain there for the Winter, although he would like to return and continue as coach of the St Marks School seven of Southboro, which under his direction a year ago had one of the best teams In its history.

Louis Reycroft, who has been elected captain of the Arlington High seven, Is one of the leading schoolboy players of the Interscholastic League. He has KYRONEN COULDNT GO ROHE If DEFEATED With the aid of a volunteer squad of floorwalkers and elevator starters Willie Kyronen, the new National ctoss-country champion, was found on the 10th floor of one of the great depart' ment stores tending to the steaming i of hot coffee urns, writes William Ab-1 bott In the New York Evening World. In Willies opinion this Isnt any ple-blan job. In a white uniform he must superintend the blending of the beverage, end the young runner tried hard to make It clear that patrons are very-particular how their coffee Is served. After considerable persuasion the country's greatest long-distance runner took a chance on demltases arriving late at luncheon tablos am i- lt he won the National cross-country title at Van Cortiandt Park etotuiuuy after beat ng his own cousin, the sensational Kolehmalpen, and Johnny Overton of Yale, the intercollegiate champion.

Kyronen is 25 years old, but looks five years younger. He was born in Kaupla, Finland, and came to this country four years ago. Willie is gradually mastering the language, but it is a tedious Job for the young Finn. "How I win? asked Willie. My wife says Willie, you no come home without prize.

I sprint first and last. It. was an easy race." And Kyronen laughed at the thought of beating Kolehmainen and Overton In the wonderful time of 32 minutes and 46 seconds over a course that was ankle deep In mud. The reference to his wife elicited the Information from one of Kyroaen coworkers that he has only been married a month. It was this friend who acted as Interpreter for the hard-pressed Finn and patched up the story of the boys wonderful ability as a runner.

Back In Kaupla Kyronen was raised by simple country folks who were without the conveniences of city life. The toy ran to school. He ran on long errands. He ran all the time to keep warm against the piercing northern winds, and Willie ate plenty of fish and fegetables, never meat. To this day he seldom -touches meat, and this plain living Is the secret of his success as a runner.

Young Kyronen, with his lungs and legs finely developed with so much early running, soon began to attract attention outside his birthplace. When 18 he competed at Stockholm, this boy who easily solved all training preparations by living simply. The next year Willie won a big race at Stockholm, and he carried home his first prize, a watch, to his parents. Kyronen eventually followed the trail of Ilannes Kolehmainen, his cousin, and came to the United States. Willie watched his sensational countryman In every race.

He changed his rather awkward style of running to Kolehmainens long, graceful, sweeping stride. Cousin Ilannes, when wasn't laying bricks, had Kyronen out teaching him the art of running. The first thing the athletic sharps knew Kyronen was pressing the leaders in many of the long-distance races. This boys progress was as fast as his pace, once be got under way. He competed in Marathons and earned second place in the Boston race this year.

It came time for the National eenlor cross-country run for six miles ever hill and dale last Saturday at Van Cortiandt Bark. Kolehmainen and Overton were the favorites. Kyronen was regarded as having an outside chance of winning. Rain, mud and the cold make conditions especially trying. Yet Kyronen calmly says the race was easy.

sprinted ahead- of every one at the start, then settled into a fast, steady pace. The struggle narrowed down to a question of stamina and gatneness, and Kyronen, who weighs only 125, flew over thAi last 200 yards like a sprinter, and finished yards ahead of Kolehmainen, who trailed in second. The winners time, 32m 48s, was the second fastest ever mads for the distance. Willie plans to compets In many races this Winter, and he thinks Mrs Kyronen wont he disappointed if she orders more prizes brought home. TABERSKf WILL TAKE JIM MATUR0 ON NEXT Jim Maturo.

"We agree with the spirit of the proposed amateur law but feel that its wording is not sufficiently definite and therefore suggest in its place the following: An amateur lawn tennis player is one who does not derive a direct financial benefit from his association with the "We use the word direct because an indirect benefit Is sometimes unavoidable.

The executive committees chief object in proposing these rules is to make It possible for them to disbar a player whose relation with a sporting goods firm is Illegitimate and who is trading on his reputation as a means of making money with little or no attempt at a genuine compensatory return. "Such a relationship we condemn and heartily agree that a man in such a position is a menace to true sportsmanship and should therefore be disbarred.
