THE SUN, MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1917. 44 13 Rickey, President of St. Louis National League Club, Reaches CityMay Sign Jack Hendrich as Manager of Cards HENDRICKS TO BE CARDINAL LEADER? ijfay Sipi Contract nt To-ilny's Conference to Mnnagc-St. Louis Tcnm. HIGH LIGHTS AND SHADOWS IN ALL SPHERES OF SPORT ny DANIEL.

CONDITIONS In the body politic of major lsaguo baseball seem to he In an unsettled state. Here we have Oarry Herrmann, chairman of the National Commission, announcing that the National and American Leagues are to hold a Joint meeting to consider the problems SOUTHERN FOOTBALL LUMINARIES NAMED Experts in Dixie Unanimous in Selecting Seven of tho First Eleven. GIANTS SET PACE IN CLUB FIELDING TORONTO LEADS IN TEAM FIELDING Official National League Fielding Averages for 1917 RICKFA AHRIVES HERE Arranges Meeting With Fcr-j mission of McGill of Indianapolis Club. Branch Rickey, president of the Rt. tools National Leagua club, may sign Jack Hendricks, on time Otant, ns manager of the Cardinal either thla after-toon or to-morrow.

That much win itirned last night from an authoritative source. Itlckey, the nrst or the club j.rej'dents to reach this city for the Na-. tlonal League meeting to-morrow, nr-rlvM one day ahead of schedule In order to have a private conference with Hendricks, who ha engaged a reservation at the Imperial and Is duo there early this morning. Rlckey opened negotiations with Hendricks to become the manager of the St. Louis club at the meeting of the minor lMfues In Louisville, and then found out that Jack was not absolutely a free arent that he waa serving cut the balance of long term contract as manager cf th Indianapolis club with his friend ur.d partner.

J. C. McOllL Th moment Rickey learned that fact tie had to turn round and seek a new way to get the service of Hendricks1. In Son waa Informed last night that Rickey ha found the way out, Just as found th way out when ho received aa offer to switch over from the American Lea rue camp In St. Lout to th National League tent lfoOlll do not wish to keep Hendricks back In his advancement any rcor than Phil Ball wishes to keep Rickey back, and It I understood that all th angles of Hendricks' contract r.av been Ironed out and that now Jack li In a position to sign up with Rickey.

According to our informant, Hendricks, McQIll and Rickey had a conference last week at which th release of Hendricks was aalcably settled, Bnceessfal la Minor. Hendricks has been a big success aa a minor league manager, and he was far from a failure as a major league player, though his career with, the National League In 1903 waa not lone enough to entitle him to a place In the averagea That season he waa with two clubs the ll'ants and th Cuba and was released ii- both. His batting average was well over the .309 mark. With Rickey as president and Hendricks as manager of the Cardtnala there is this rild condition of affair two men who failed as players In New York will hold the reins. Rickey was a player under Griffith at the hilltop In 117, and Hendricks was a played at the Polo in 1102, Just before John Mc-Oraw came on from Baltimore.

IstrrnaUaaal Leasro After many preliminaries the winter league wilr get a real start this afternoon when the International League holds Its annual meeting at the Hotel Imperial. It Is a life and death meet-in? for the International, perhaps the ioi Important In Its history. The International has been confronted with many serious problems during the Harrow regime, but never with the des-verate situation which confronts 1: now. It Is up to the International League club owners to decide whether to take the Held again In 1018 or suspend for th period of the war. Barrow, the fighting chief, at last Is reconciled to his fata He has fought for four years to keep 'he league together, and Is willing to It mp It going a fifth If his club owners will it But he will not attempt to force them to start a fresh campaign If It Is against their better Judgment.

Will Wot Vs Pressure. It Is no secret that Barrow at. tiroes has used pressure to keep the league going, when many of his club owners were ready to throw th sponge Into tho arena. But. Barrow Is not willing to Uks th responsibility again.

If the starts the 1118 season It will do it en Its own responsibility and not un-4tr pressure by Its president. Four International League clubs are both willing and anxious to start next season. They are th four clubs which were anxious to form a combination with the American Association clubs and form a new Trton League. Those clubs represent the populous cities Newark. Toronto, ttaltlmore and Buffalo.

Richmond 1j ready to retire and Montreal also Is about through. Chapln of Rochester Is not keen to continue putting money into a losing proposition, and rrovldence Is neutral. It Is possible that Jersey City will be put back In th league, and another effort may be mad to git back Into Syraeus. National Leagacr Dse To-day. Nation! League men will get here to-i'T, as they will open their annual meet-at the Waldorf to-roorrow.

The meeting of the board of directors "ill iwede the annual meeting of the lesrje. Every club president In the National league Is now represented on the hoard of directors. The American League will hold Its arnual meeting In Chicago next Wednes-Jy Th: proposed Joint meeting of the N'atloral and American Leagues still Is vry much tip In the air, but probably held in Chicago next Friday or 5-a' rjav brought on by the war. John K. Tener and Ban Johnson, -heads of the two big leagues, declare they know nothing about such a session and nrc not nnxlous that It be held.

On top of that comes a counter declaration from Herrmann that the meeting Is to be held come what may, whereat Tcncr Is forced to laugh and wonder what's In the air. As head of the National Commission Herrmann may call a ssslon of that body, but ho does not ancoor to have the nnwer. on his own Initia tive, to call a general convocation of the major league owners. Of course, If the owners want to Join Herrmann In an Informal meeting that's their own affair, but as for calling an official gathering, that's an entirely different matter, In which tho authority Is vested entirely In Tener and As far as Herrmann's stand with regard to that particular meeting Is concerned the fans care very little, but the difference of opinion indicates that all Is not sweet In the National League. Herrmann this time seems to nave Diuen on just a little more than ho can chew.

J. Jolinion Proposition and Baseball Economy. Han Johnson now enmes to bat with tho suggestion that tho Government take over the American League clulis and give tho owners 4 per cent, of the profits. Tho proposition Is a patrlotlo one, but la not practicable and there Is no chance that the Government will accept it. The Government docs not want to go Into the professional baseball1 buslnoss any moro than It wants to go Into the railroad or coal business.

It may be forced to take over the roads and the mines, but as far as bothering with baseball Is concerned It will rest content to leave all that to tho owners. Wo do not Impugn Johnson's motives, but tho proposition to us sounds like a paradox. Here we have tho major leagues yelling reduction of schedules, reduction of player limits, reduction of everything that can bo reduced, 8lnce th American League Is sincere In Its offer to tho Government nnd since the Government looks for financial, support from every citizen, why not let the ball players get the benefits tlwy have enjoyed in past seasons In order to leave them free to give) the Federal exchequer their help? Why not leave things as they are and arrange with the players for their participation in the next Liberty Loans and the war saving proposition? l'lnching the players financially and throwing many of them out of Jobs will do nobody any good and in the long run will hurt baseball. Tho owners should at this time more than at any other period realise that most players have families, big financial needs and responsibilities, and are Klving the best years of their live to the game. A better spirit of amity and charity between player and owner should be developed and this is particularly line time to engender It.

There are some bad characters in baseball, but as a class the ball players are a mtghty fine and upright lot of men. They should be treated as such. dopesters In the South here Is given and includes th following: Dick Jemlson, Atlanta Constitution; J. W. Helsman, Atlanta Georgian; Morgan Blake, Atlanta Journal; Fred Bodeker, Birmingham Age-Herald; George L.

Watktns, Birmingham Newt; Fred nigby. New Orleans fees; Blankey Horn, Nashville Tennesson. Seven of the eleven men chosen on the all Southern are the unanimous selection of these seven men, though some of them ore awarded various positions In the picks. Pup Phillips and Walker Carpenter of Georgia Tech are awarded unanimous bertha at centra and tackle respectively. Flncher, Ouyon and trupper of Tech are chosen by all seven men, as were Ducoto and Bonner of Auburn.

Flncher was picked for a guard and a tackle, Guyon for an end, a hnlf and a fullback; Htrupper for a quarter and a half, Ducoto for an end, a half and a fullback, and Bonner for a guard and tackle. Albert Hill of Georgia Tech was ago of .9613. They made only 201 er rors In 1S8 games, which Is more game than were played by any other big league club last season. Strangely enough the teams whleh finished one, two, three In th standing of tho clubs finished In th same positions In the club fielding records. The Phillies were second In fielding with an average of .967.1.

while the third place St. Louis Cardinals trailed the Phils i with .9669. The Uronklyns were fifth with .9621, while the Chicago Cubs wero last with In addition to leading the league In club fielding the Giant catchers also made a unique low record In passed balls, McGraw's backstops being guilty I or only seven of such catching transgressions. The Brooklyn catchers had the second best record, but they had twice as many pissed halls as the Giant mnskmen fourteen. The Cub' catchers hid the most passed balls twenty-six.

A prophecy come true! When the various national sport bodies last spring declared championships off and In some cases suspended all official competitions we hazarded the prediction that before the winter was on us there would be a change of heart and policy and a revulsion of feeling that would result In a return to the old. The process of return Is In full swing. Last Saturday the United States National Lawn Tennis Association restored all championships for the 1918 season. The Squash Association will follow this week. The Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes cf America has sent out a questionnaire on the subject of the outdoor championships, and in view of Its having held the recent cross-country run here, with titles attached, and In view of a known 'sentiment among a majority of the members In favor of titular, competition.

It Is safe to predict that the Intercollegiate championship meet will be held next' spring. The Intercollegiate Swimming and Water Polo Association, the Intercollegiate Basketball Leaguo and the Intercollegiate Lacrosse League have decided tj compete for titles. It is almost certain that the United States Golf Association will make a similar decision at Its annual session In Philadelphia next month. As one of those who had to take a lot of abuse In letters from "Fair Play" and his Ilk when we advocated standing fast by sport and 'retaining championships the biggest Incentives to competition we feel particularly gratified at the turn of things. T1 .) Bsrlnr to BMurm at Trench Tracki.

French officers who visited our tracks last summer having reported to their Government that racing was for tho best Interests of tho thoroughbred particularly the army mount and that racing was a good thlnjr for the spirit of a people at war, it has been decided to return to regular racing at the tracks near Paris next spring. It is possible that the Grand again will be run. At any rate the proposition is to have the old order, with betting permitted, restored. Tho Germans raced at Berlin last summer nnd the, American tracks enjoyed a record season. Only in England dos there appear to be Government discouragement of the sport, but that is pretty cenjjaln to bo overcome before tho opening of the spring season.

Botbncr Had an Experience With Tnsslf. Another chapter in tho terrible history of Yusslf, tho Terrlblo Turk. Among those who believe that if tho Turk was not the greatest of all wrestlers he came mighty near the pinnacle Is George Bothncr. nothncr had a somewhat unpleasant experience with tho Turk. Tho Turk showed nt the old Bowery Theatre and offered $J00 to anybody who could stay hfteel minutes with him.

Itothner waji a mere pigmy compared to the Turk, but the offer looked good to nimble Oeorge and ho went on with him. For ten minutes Bothner raced all over the mat and eluded Yusslf, who was getting moro angry every minute. Finally tho Turk could 'stand the chase no longer, so he made a mad dive for Bothner and fell on George Just Inside the wings. Bothner was thrown with terrible -ferocity, but nobody In the house saw the fall. George went home and stayed there for several days.

For a fortnight Bothner's head stood at an uncomfortable angle. Another wrestler who had a similar experience with Yusslf was Ernest noeber. They met in ths Garden and Ernest tried his best to keep away from Yupsif. Bound and round the ring they raced, with the Turk always half a lap behind Roebcr. At last Yusslf made his dive.

He struck Roeber right In the chest and Ernest went flying of the ring Into the crowd. They had to take Roeber to a hospital and for a time it was thought that he had been very seriously Injured. The evidence seems to point to Yusslfs having been considerable grappler, even If he did refuse to wrestle with a steer. as a whole, even wrier ther Is a differ ence In opinion, a total of but seventeen different men being picked to fill the eleven places.

Williams and Ertle to Settle Feud in 15 Round Decision Bout A celebrated boxing case again will be brought to tho foro next Monday night when Kid Williams, former bantam champion of the world, and Johnny Ertle, claimant of the champ'onshlp, will face each other In the ring for the first time since their memorable bout In Stv Paul on September 10, 1915. The approaching bout In Baltimore will be fifteen rounds to a decision and should definitely fettle the question of superiority between the battlers. Also the weight will be lis pounds ringside, which was th poundage at which Herman wrested th title from William. Ever since the bout In St.

Paul, which stopped by the rsferte in the fifth round on a claim of foul by Ertle, the partlsana of the bantam have been embroiled. The adherents of Wllllsms have Insisted that the blow that brought Ertl down In the fifth was not foul, and that In any event Ertle did not win the title in a no decision bout when the champion was on his feet at the close. Et tie's followers Insisted the blow was low and that the action of the referee In stopping th bout automatically disqualified Williams and gav th decision and title to the St. Paul boy. Experts Favored WlUUsas.

The consensus of opinion of boxing experts throughout th country waa sgalnst the Ertle claim, on th ground that th referee was prohibited by law from giving a decision, and that his Jurisdiction ended with stopping th bout on tbo ground that one of the contestants was disabled. It was alio pointed out that only In th event of th refers being permitted to give decision on points at the finish of a limited bout would disqualification for foul automatically give th victory to the man who received a foul blow. Interest attaches to the match from th fact that Domlnlck Tortorlch. th Nw Orleans promoter, has offered the winner a bout In th Cront City with th champion, Pete Herman. Mr Week ft Leestard.

"This doe not mean i per cent, on the Investment, but simply 4 per cent, nf whatever profits the Government may make In operating the plant and I am sure there la not a club owner In the league who Is not willing to operate at a loss next season If It will help the Government In any way," said Mr. Johnson.
