BALLOT STANDS 5 AND 3 Huston and Ruppert of New York Yankees Prepare to Throw Battle Into Courts. KTEW YORK, Dec 10. American League baseball club owners, flanked by attorneys, battled for some hours today In their annual meeting, and when the session ended President B. B. Johnson was surrounded by a new board of directors favorable to his policies. The insurgent clubs were outvoted on every proposition, but Went down fighting and serving summonses which promise to carry the disputed points Into court, where final decisions may not be reached for months. A resolution to elect a new presi dent in place of Johnson was de feated & to 3. The new board of di rectors, consisting of Frank Navin. Ietroit; Ben Minor, 'Washington; Thomas Shibe. Philadelphia, and P. D. Ball of St. Louis, was elected by the same vote, and Navin elected vice-president. The Cleveland. St. Louis. Philadelphia. Washington and Detroit clubs voted in the affirma tive, and the Boston. Chicago and New Tork clubs in the negative. A resolution to play a schedule of 154 frames In 1920 was virtually all the baseball business transacted. Row Begins Quickly. The session opened with a meeting ef the old board of directors, consist ing of Ruppert, New Tork; Dunn, Cleveland: Comiskey, Chicago, and Frar.ee, Boston, with Johnson present as league executive. Trouble devel oped immediately over the selection of a chairman and Johnson and Dunn left the conference. Comiskey was named to preside, although word was sent to Johnson that if he would re turn to the meeting he could take the chair. He refused. Members present proceeded to adopt a. number of resolutions which charged Johnson with exceeding his duties as an employe of the league. The meeting of the league as a whole followed immediately and during the first half hour the conference was In such an uproar that the commotion was plainly audible, in the hotel cor ridors adjoining the meeting rooms, while from adjacent quarters lawyers and supoena servers came and went like messengers from staff headquar ters during a battle. Mack's Resolution Tabled. During the meeting Connie Mack, of the Philadelphia club, moved that a resolution be adopted providing for a fine of 11000 for any club which tampered with any player the prop erty of another club of the league. This provision was tabled for a year. The 12 resolutions adopted by the outgoing board of directors referred generally to the Carl Mays case, the cause of the split In the league ranks, and the duties and action of Johnson as president. , Herrmann Sings Swan Song. Before the National league club owners concluded their meeting to day. Chairman August . Uerrmau of the national commission stated that ha was willing to resign from that position which he haa held for sev eral years. In a brief speech the Cincinnati club president said he agreed with many other members of both major leagues that no man who is a club owner or Is interested financially in baseball should hold such a position in what is virtually the high court of baseball. President Heydler said the unani mous sentiment of the league was in favor of appointing a committee to consider a new agreement with minor leagues. Mr. Heydler will appoint a committee with this object in view. to act with a committee from the minors to R joint meeting which is to be held next February wherever the American league decides to hold its aainual schedule meeting. Freak Pitching Hit. Should Ahe American league decide to hold this session at Chicago the Rational league will go there, too, for the same purpose. There was a good deal of discussion a.bout the use of the "spitball" and other freak deliveries. Every club owner went on record as being op posed to such pitching and a recom mendation was made to the joint rules committee to this effect. In order, however, to avoid doing an injustice to any of the old pitchers who use the spitball. it was decided that they should be exempt. PASADENA MISSING LINK WORLD WAITS PATIENTLY FOR FOOTBALL DECISION. Action of Coast Conference Taking New Tear's Game Under Wing Seems Wise Move. What's doing in Pasadena with the football committee of the tournament of roses, is foremost in the minds of those who are still clinging to foot ball remembrances of the season and who are still thtrsty for more grid iron tonic. One thing is certain, that the com mittee will have to hurry and make a definite derision If It hopes to keep up the precedent and stage the an nual contest New Year's day. The fact that the Pacific coast con ference took the staging of the East vs. West interscctional game out of the hands of the southern promoters is highly gratifying, when one looks over the muddle that has developed this season. For real news the com mittee in the south have been as ex clusive as a clam. The announcement that Harvard would be the eastern representative was the only thing to give the fans anything to talk about that oosed its way out of the Pasa dena body this year, and at that the real stuff was sent over the wire from Cambridge. The followers of the game have been kept in the dark up to date as to progress made toward naming the western representative. And it Is small wonder the delay is regarded as little short of a crime against those who have the best Interests of coast football at heart. The railway administration threw a man's-sized monkey wrench Into the works when it voiced Its unwilling ness to sanction a transcontinental trip of the Harvard team. .Some bright one in the sooth has suggested that Harvard make the trip route to Los Angeles. The engines in that part of the country burn oil, and oil doesn't have to be mined ex actly, and so there is no strike or anything to gum up the proceedings. Maybe this annual East versus West game will only be a North Pacific Coast vs. SouthFacif ic Coast, or per haps a deciding game between Oregon and Washington for the coast cham pionship. It is getting late in the day and unless some quick action is taken an inter-sectionless New Tear's day may come to pass so far as foot ball is concerned. HARVARD DELAYS ACTION Athletic Committee to Rale on Pas adena Game Today. CAMBRIDE, Mass., Dec. 10. No de cision concerning a renewed invita tion from Pasadena, Cal., for the Harvard football team to meet a western eleven there on New Tear's day was reached by the athletic com mittee at a meeting today. It was announced that the com mittee would decide the matter to morrow. Before the meeting the faculty voted to indorse any action the committee saw fit to take. WILDE'S DEFEAT IS JOLT SHARKEY'S WIN OVER WELSH MAN UPSETS ALL DOPE. Midget Islander Ranked as Best in World at Equal Weights. Opponents Are Scarce. It has been many a year since the sporting world was jolred as badly as Jack Sharkev jolted it in Milwau kie, Wis., recently by hammering! Jimmy Wilde, English flyweight champion, all over the ring. The betting was 3 to 1 on Wilde, with no Sharkey takers. Eastern advices say that the Britisher was as good as 4 and 5 to 1, with even money that he would stop Sharkey. But the Welshman did not stop Sharkey, and if the reports of the battle were correct he was forced to do much tall and clever stalling in order to get away from the knock out punch. Wilde, however, beyond all doubt, is one of the grandest little fight ers who ever measured for a set of five-ounce gloves, and he can beat any man of his weight in the world today. The Britisher weighs but 107 pounds when he builds himself up. When it cornea to a pinch he can make 100 pounds three hours before the battle. Wilde fought himself out of his class before the world .war started. Then he was compelled to box bantams at 115 pounds and when the bantam crop fell short he tackled the feath ers at 122 pounds. These gentlemen, too. became scarce, so little Jimmy, always full of the stuff that counts, went after a f3W of the feather weights. It was a year and a half ago that they imported Pal Moore, vho scaled 116 pounds, to London to tackle Wilde. Moore took the decision and much discussion followed. Moore was taken to London again shortly after the finish of the war. Another match was arranged and on that occasion Wilde was given the verdict, although the Justness of It was questioned even by the British sporting writers. ATHLETES GOOD STUDENTS Hawkeye Football Players Well Up In Studies. IOWA CITY, la., Dec 10. Athletes at Iowa have set a remarkable schol astic record during the last few years and statistics in the Hawkeye foot ball eleven are particularly interest ing as showing the high scholarship maintained by men on the football squad and on the team. During the last four years at Iowa the average scholarship of men play ing on the football team has been higher than the average of all uni versity men. In spite of long, hard hours of practice, the men have kept up their studies better than men not out for athletic work. It has also been true In the years since Coach Howard Jones came to Iowa that no athlete has even been disqualified before any game for de linquencies in his studies. An Iowa team always goes on the field to play at its full strength so far as scholar ship requirements are concerned. This year, of all the "I," "1-2" and freshmen numeral men playing foot ball not one was reported to the dean of men for serious delinquencies In his studies. Good athletic work means good work In the classroom, according to the Iowa record, said Coach Jones in speaking of this Hawkeye foo'ball team. "I never coached a smarter bunoh of football players in my life. Their brains were working all th time." Carranza is acting as if he thought the kaiser needed a little playmate. !

Has OTHER BOUTS NOT WANTED Frank Kendall's Milwaukie Show Postponed to December 1 6, on Account of Snow Flurry. BOXING CARD AT MILWAU KIE POSTPONED. Last night's card of fistic bouts in the Milwaukie arena was postponed until Tuesday, December 16, because of the in ability of the Milwaukie boxing commission to arrange for transportation facilities from Portland to Milwaukie. Tuesday night Matchmaker Frank Kendall was of the opin ion that the cars would be run ning on regular schedule yes terday, but he did not figure the extent of the snow storm. Tommy Oibbons. famous St. Paul light-heavyweight, will meet Jimmy Darcy of Portland In the main event of ten rounds as scheduled, with the rest of the card going through intact. BT RICHARD R. SHARP. Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dernpsey, heavyweight champion of the world, wants $250,000 as a mini mum for the titleholder's end of the purse to box Georges Carpentier, champion of Europe. This high finance information was contained in a tele gram received yesterday from Kearns by Charles W. Ackerson, head of a syndicate of Portland business men who recently sent a bid to Los An geles of $100,000 for Dernpsey to meet Carpentier here during Rose Festival week and the Shriners' convention. That Kearns is being swamped with offers is shown by the fact that It has been over five days since the Portland parties sent him the offers. His answer received yesterday reads as follows: - "Your offer of $100,000 is out of proportion to the international cham pionship match. Dernpsey has been of fered $250,000 for his end to box Car pentier. Carpentier will demand $100, 000 or more at the very least. I am not interested In any other match at present outside of a Carpentier bout. "JACK KEARNS. From the above it will be gathered that the promoter who cares to stage a match between Dernpsey and Car pentier will have to put up $350,000 or more to land the attraction. As far as they are concerned the Port land syndicate is through, but still have hopes of getting Dernpsey to meet some other good man here at a later date. When the offers began to dribble in over the wires for a match be tween Dernpsey and Carpentier, Ack erson and his local associates at once forgot Carpentier and dispatched an offer to Willie Meehan. Meehan's reply was received yester day morning and late in the after noon another telegram was received from Billy Gibson, Meehan's manager. Meehan answered to the effect that he would accept a match with Dernp sey and added that to clinch any such affair it would be necessary to get in touch with Gibson in New York. Gibson's answer follows: "Meehan will be glad to box Dernp sey. You name terms." Gibson's favorable reply failed to give any satisfaction, as Kearn's tele gram very clearly states that he is not interested in any match for Dernpsey other than against Carpen tier, and he would be foolish to tackle Meehan before the Frenchman, with so much wampum in sight. The postponement of last night's boxing card in Milwaukie gives the battlers on the bill another week to train and the fans will be doubly as sured seeing them In good shape. Gibbons and his manager, Eddie Kane, are anxious to get back to St. Paul, but were agreeable to remain ing over for the match Tuesday. The Tuesday card, the same as scheduled for last night, will be: Tommy Gibbons vs. Jimmy Darcy, 10 rounds; Stanley Willis vs. Bobby Ward, eight rounds; Georgie Bran don vs. Niel Zimmerman, eight rounds, and Weldon Wing vs. Carl Martin, six rounds. As the result of the Milwaukie com mission show being shunted to De cember 16, the Portland boxing com mission card slated for December 19 IF THIS SNOW will also be set ahead, so as not to bring the two too close together. The Portland show probably will be either December 22, 23 or 29. mm It was gleaned along the rialto yes terday that Frank Farmer may not be Battling Ortega's opponent In the main event of the Portland boxing commission's card the latter part of this month. Farmer wwnt ahead and signed for a match in Tacoma on December 18 with Jack Reeves, which did not make any too big a hit. With the local card put ahead, however. Farmer's bout on December 18 would not make much difference and Match maker Jack Grant will probably go through with Farmer and Ortega. Bud Ridley, the classy little Seattle bantam, whom Fred Winsor hopes to pilot to a world's championship, will break into the limelight in San Fran cisco tonight when he meets Jimmy Ortega of San Francisco, in the main event of Louis Faxente s show at the coliseum. It will mark the first time that the bantams have been used as main eventers in San FranciBCO in many a moon. C0UEAH5 LIKE SCHEDULE RESULT OF CONFERENCE WELL RECEIVED AT PULLMANS. Thanksgiving Day Battle With U. of W. Fogeaters Highly Accept able to State College. WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE, Pullman. Dec 10. (Special.) Stu dents and alumni of the state college are pleaaed over the results obtained by Athletic Director J. Fred Bonier and Coach Gus Welch, delegates to the Coast conference at Seattle In session the past week end. Instead of a burdensome schedule the Cou gars in 1920 will be limited to three major contests and the new financial arrangement with the University of California and the University of Washington means that the athletic exchequer of the state college will be well filled by the close of next season. The Cougars will trek to Berkeley again to meet the Golden Bears, will meet the Oregon Aggies on the home grid and wind up the season on Tur key day in Seattle with the ancient rivals, the University of Washington. It is not known definitely whether or not the University of Idaho will be met next season, although alumni of both schools would be loath to see the traditional contest suspended. "Our schedule looks very satisfac tory to me." said Graduate Manager Harry Chambers today. "The Uni versity of Washington is the logical team for us to play on Thanksgiving, and on the whole, viewed from the standpoint of games as well as finances, this is the most satisfactory schedule we have ever arranged." BRITAIN GETS BIG BOUT? Carpentier's Manager Says His Mao Is Signed for London. LONDON, Dec 10. With reference to Paris reports of Carpentier's en gagements, M. Descaraps, Carpentier's manager, informed the Associated Press before leaving London he had signed to fight under the manage ment of C. B. Cochrane, the British promoter, and showed a copy of the contract. Later Cochrane confirmed this. Aberdeen Gets Instructor. ABERDEEN, Wash., Dec 10. (Spe cial.) Chi Preston, formerly a well known boxer of the harbor, has been engaged by Harry Druxman as boxing instructor at the Aberdeen Athletic club. During his absence from the harbor, Preston has engaged in many matches. He will in addition to his duties as instructor take on anyone of his weight 133 pounds. Druxman will manage all bouts for Preston. He holds a record of never having lost a match by a knockout. Yanks May Send Plercy to Vernon. ' best pitching bet of the Sacramento club last season, will wear a Vernon uniform in 1920. Plercy belongs to the New York Yankees and not to Sacramento. The Yanks recently turned over "Slim" Love to the Tigers on the Bobby Meusel deal and still owe the Tigers one slayer. Love is a southpaw and Bill Essick wants one more right-hander. Plercy Is gener ally picked as the man Essick will claim. Metro Golf Restricted." NEW YORK, Dec. 10. Restriction of the field in the Metropolitan Ama teur Golf championship tournament next year to players with a handicap of nine strokes or less, was announced today. x Owing to the steady growth of the game here in recent years, of ficials stated, it has become increas ingly (tifficult to run the tourna ments Aioothly with the large num ber of competitors entered. CONTINUES. SALE OF SENATORS PLEASES CIRCUIT Sacramento Fans Look for Big Year in 1920. M0REING BOYS POPULAR Essick and Killefer Sound Call for Training March 1 Angels May Visit San Diego. With the Morelng brothers. Lewis and Charley, at the helm of the Sac ramento ball club, the fans of that city are preparing themselves for a . great season of the national pastime in 1920. The dicker which turned the Sena tors over to the Moreings was the biggest baseball deal ever pulled In Sacramento and is regarded by the fans as one of the most Important happenings that has taken place in that city for the good of the game In years. Lewis Morelng is the big man who agreed to assume the debts of the club, and the stockholders In turn agreed to pass their holdings over to him. The indebtedness, it is claimed, approximates $14,000. Morelng lost no time in starting to line up a winning baseball team for next season. His first announcement was ' e retention of Bill Rodgers as manager, and the two now have their heads together in Sacramento. With Lewis Moreing ' will be Included his brother Charley Moreing in the handling of the team. The league long had Loped the ' Moreings would come Into control, as It has been proved that individual control Is more successful than di vided ownership. Last season the Sacramento club established a record for baseball by drawing more people during the en tire season than the population of the city In which the team is located. There was not a team in the country that exceeded such figures, and yet the reports show that the Senators did not make money. This is attrib uted to poor business control. The "call to quarters" will be sounded by Managers Bill Essick of the Vernon Tigers and Wade Killefer of the Angels. March 1. The Angels are thinking of training at San Diego and the Tigers will condi 'on them selves at Washington park, the Coast league lot of the Los Angeles club. Bill Essick is following his winter occupation in Los Angeles by tuning and selling pianos. The announced retirement of Jack Fourner, Los Angeles first baseman, may be as most of the "retirements" of players In the winter time turn out. Soma stars retire in the hot stove league and (.re the first on the train ing grounds In the spring. More money also Is gained in some cases by these "retirements." Should Four nier quit, the Angels will be dealt an awful blow. He was better last season at first base than ever before. Up to last year. Fournier was one of the worst fielders in the game, but he improved in such a manner it was a tie between him and Earl Sheeley of Salt Lake for initial sack honors of the league. Fournier hit .328 last season. . In the official averages issued on the hitters of the National league last season, that are just released, players well known to the Coast league fans batted as follows: Emil Meusel. Phil adelphia. .305; Hal Chase, New York. .284; Ivan Olson, Brooklyn, .278; Dave Bancroft, Philadelphia. .272; Charley Hollocher, Chicago. .270; Morris Rath. Cincinnati, .264; Charles Pick, Boston, .245; George Cutshaw, Pittsburg, .342. The official averages of the National league show Forrest Cady, catcher of the Sacramento club, played in 34 games last season for the Philadel phia team and batted for a total of .214. Cady was with Philadelphia for just the start of the season and was injured in an accident which held him back a bit after he recovered. Cady, next season, is doped to be a great help to the Senators in handling pitchers. He did not join the Senators soon enough last season to display his real worth to the team. When he was catching with the Boston Americana he was regarded as the best receiver in the game. VALE HAS BRIGHT OUTLOOK Basketball Contests for Trophj Likely to Be Interesting. NEW HAVEN. Dec. 10.

" Incident of Army-Jiavy Gridiron Contest Brings to Light an Interesting Play. Details of an interesting prelimi nary to the recent Army-Navy game have just come to light. It seems that just before the elevens took the field Bill Langford, the referee, in sisted that the Middies abandon a sig nal which they had used with much success all season, and that Gil Dobie met with the demand only when .Langford threatened to resign on the spot if he did not do so. It seems that the navy had been drilled to start one play as the quar terback called "Hike!" after shouting a set of numbers. They had another play which they swept into only when the "Hike!" was repeated. On this second play the middies would rise on their toes, hunch their shoulders as If about to lunge forward as the first "hike" was called, and then put the ball Into play on the quarterback's repetition of the signal. The army scouts conveyed the news of the play to Coach Daly, and Daly took the mat ter up with Langford when he met the official at the Polo grounds. It was Daly s contention that the chief purpose of the second play Was to draw the opposing teams off side, and Langford agreed with him. He cautioned Dobie not to use It. but the navy mentor replied that he was em powered by the rules to use any sig nals tnat ne devised, and that he would not refrain from using that one against the army if ha saw fit to do so. Langford thereupon Informed him that unless he gave his word not to employ the tactics to which Daly ob jected, it would be necessary to en gage another referee. At this Dobie relented and put the ban on the play. LEONARD KNOCKS OUT COOGAN Lightweight Champ Pnts Dodger Away In Second. JERSEY CITY. N. J., Dec 10.
