RUMPUS IN LEAGUE If n BUUT IS TO.lQRROW
Walter, in Resigning, Charges
Syndicate Baseball
Against Ewing.
MAGNATES ARE SURPRISED
San Francisco Club Director-General
Accused of Owning Stock In
Two Clubs to Detriment of
' Game in Coast League.
SAX FRAKCISCO. Dec. . (Special.)
E. N". Walter's resignation as presi
dent or the championship Oakland club,
together with his charge today of syn
dicate baseball against 3. Cal Ewing,
stockholder and director-In-general of
the San Francisco club, has stirred up
a rumpus in the Pacific Coast League.
Walters action and subsequent sen
satlonal charges came like a shot from
out of the clear sky to the Coast League
magnates who - were in town today.
Ewing retaliates by declaring he will
have something to say when the reg
ular Winter meeting of the Coast
League is called In Sacramento tomor
row. Walter says: "I do not favor the
new policy mapped out for the Oakland
club, and took this step to clear my
bands of all the business. I have al
ways been against syndicate baseball,
and It Is well known J. Cal Ewing
holds a big interest in the Oaklands,
and at the same time controls the stock
of the San Francisco club with Frank
Ish. "
Syadleate Ball Held Harmful.
"Syndicate baseball Is one of the most
harmful things that can happen to our
National pastime. With one man own
ing two or more clubs It does away
with the competition that should result
when baseball teams of rival towns
clash. I have been dissatisfied with
the arrangement of Ewing owning
stock In the Oakland club for some
time, but It did not come to a head
until recently.
"I stand on my record In baseball to
prove to everyone that I am sincere.
I became Interested in the Oakland club
in 1903. and in 1906 was honored, with
the presidency. Since then I have done
everything In my power to promote the
best Interests of the club and am sat
isfied to look back and feel that I
have handled them well.
"Ho. the securing of the new grounds
for the Oaklands . at Park and San
Pablo avenue had no material bearing
on my resignation," continued Walter,
in answer to the question If he was
dissatisfied with deserting Freeman's
Park. "For the life of me, however, I
do not see how they are going to fi
nance It. The grounds will cost $150,000,
and it Is a big deal. Still, it is a good
thing for the welfare of the club, and
I voted favorably on it."
Waiter Slay HoU Stock.
Walter has not decided what disposi
tion he will make of the stock he holds
in the club. "It all depends how the
winds blow.".he said. "I may hold it or
I may sell. I feel, above all things,
that I am taking the right stand in
objecting to syndicate baseball and the
new policy of tne uaKiana ciuo. wnicn
I do not care to talk about at this
time." Walter Intimated that he may
prepare a statement later that will
throw more light on the complicated
affairs in the inner circle of the Pa
cific Coast League.
Frank Leavitt, a prominent stock
holder in the Oakland club, expressed
surprise when lie heard .hat Walter
had resigned.
"I can only say positively that noth
ing has happened In the Oakland club
that prompted President Walter to re
sign," said Senator Leavitt. "He has
dictated the policy of the club, hired
and fired managers, players and the
like, and in fact has run the club him
self. Not one of the directors or stock
holders has ever lnterferred with the
running of the club. There has been
no friction of any kind that I know
of. I do not know of the trouble, but
I can say that It was something out
side of the Oakland organisation which
caused President Walter to step out of
office.
Kew Grounds Not Cause of Fum.
"Walter did not take a hand in lo
cating the new grounds, getting terms
and all the other details, but every
plan was made known to him before
the Oakland club made a move. He
heartily agreed with us that the pur
chase of the grounds was a good thing
for the club. In -fact. It was Walter
who signed the papers and agreements
that made the plot of ground the prop
erty of tire Oakland lub. Ed Walter
has been a good official and I cannot
account for his sudden resignation."
Baseball men are at a loss to ac
count for the bombshell which Walter
so suddenly threw Into their midst The
fact that Ewing owns stock In the Oak
land club and at the same time controls
the San Francisco . club is generally
known, but it has been supposed all
along that the two baseball bodies were
working Independently of the other and
In perfect harmony.
Ewing has made no bones about tell
ing of his Interest in the Oaklands.
Time and again he has joked about
trying to give away his stock some
years ago when the team was a losing
proposition, but no one wanted what
looked like a white elephant. The
Oaklands are big money-makers now,
however, and Ewing says that he has
his money in the clnb as an investment.
Effort. 1 Sell Stock Fall.
Swing originally owned a majority
of the stock in the Oakland club. This
was previous to 1903. Then a chance
came to purchase the San Francisco
club, and Cal Ewing and Frank Ish put
through a deal and secured the major
ity of the stock in the local organisa
tion. At that time he was reported
as selling his holdings In the Oakland
club. It afterwards became known that
Ewing could not get rid of all his stock,
no one caring to accept it as a gift,
and he held on to It. It is such a con
dition of affairs which exists now.
The San Francisco baseball magnate
has no voice in the doinga of the Oak
land team. Two of his personal friends,
Frank Leavitt and Jack Cook, are big
stockholders, and it is likely that his
Interests are well looked after.
Just how interested Ewing has been
In the Oakland club is not known, and
it Is probable that Walter Intends to
give some data on that connection in
the statement which he intimates he
will make.
Syndicate baseball has been the sub
ject of a deal of discussion before. For
years the charge has been made that
the Chicago and Philadelphia clubs, of
the National League, are owned and
controlled by the same parties. Inves
tigation Into the charge has been made,
but nothing has ever come of it. On
all sides syndicate baseball has been
denounced as an evil to the clear and
fair National game of baseball.
Trades Caase ( Ceuure.
It has been but natural for the man
agement of the two clubs owned by
the same syndicate to try and favor
the other In playing games, trading

players and in other diamond transac
tions. It has been pointed out how the
Cubs have helped the Phillies and vice
versa, and the other magnates In the
National League have taken a stand
against any such arrangement.
To Ewing's credit it can be said that
not an instance can be cited where the
Oaklands and Seals have been in league
with the other. The teams are above
suspicion so far as playing the game
honestly at all times Is concerned. Only
last season, when the Coast League
race was a ntp-and-tuck affair, with
the Oaklands battling for the pennant
and the Seals way down in the running,
the rivals met In a series and the Seals
took the honors. Local fans remember
well how desperately the teams con
tested in every game of the series. No
trade or transfer of players of im
portance can be called to mind, either,
to connect the San Francisco and Oak
land teams.
Ewing is tne most prominent and in
fluential figure in the Coast League. He
was formerly president of the league,
and has always represented the Coast
League at the baseball meetings in the
East.

NEW YORK, Dec. 8. Hendriz, of
Pittsburg, with 24 games won and nine
lost, leads the National League pitchers
for the season 1912. as shown by the
official pitching records made public
today. His percentage of victories is
.727. only five points behind comes
Cheney, of Chicago, who won 26 and
lost 10 games.
Five of the first nine men are mem
bers of the pennant-winning Giants.
Tesreau, Marquard and Ames, a New
York trio, stand third, fourth and fifth,
respectively. After Richie and Lelfleld,
Chicagoans, next in order, come an
other Giant pair, Mathewson and Cran
dall. "Matty's" standing is eighth, with 12
games lost to 23 won and a percentage
of .657.
Rucker, Brooklyn's left-handed star,
pitched the greatest number of Bhut
outs, six, with Suggs, of Cincinnati, and
O'Toole, of Pittsburg, next, each hav
ing five whitewashes to his credit.
Rucker scores high in the standing
in another table which Secretary
Heydler has prepared, showing the
standing of boxmen according to tne
average of runs earned off their pitch
ing. Brooklyn's left-hander is third
on this list with an average of 2.20
runs a game, only Tesreau, with L96.
and Mathewson, with. 2.02 runs a game,
topping him. '
Alexander, of Philadelphia, struck
out 185 men, the record number for the
season.

from men of championship caliber, and
that the late Stanley Ketchell could

the opinion of one New York writer.
"Gibbons is a welter-weight pure and
simple, and was outweighed ten pounds

footwork, but that never knocked a
man out. McGoorty's superior weight
