MOVEMENT IS GENERAL ONE Boston Only Club in American League Not Owned by Home Men; National Circuit Is Taking Similar Lineup. CHICAGO. Jan. 1. (Special.) Syn dicate ball and alien ownership is on the wane in the major leagues. A quiet campaign for home capital has been going on for some time and this explains the changes in the baseball map of late. The magnates may deny that this has been back of the trans fers, but it is a fact, nevertheless. That also explains why President Johnson, of the American League, has been moving heaven and earth to get home talent to take over the Cleveland franchise. American Owned by Home Men, Outside of Cleveland there is only one club In the American League which is not owned by home capital, and even that is partly so. That is the Boston club. In control or Joe iannin. jar. Lannin's business address for the last few years has been New York, but even be can claim Boston as his starting place, as he began his career as bellboy in one of the hotels there. Lannin, however, is willing to sell and when be does, the chances are that Boston capital will again be in control of the team. Up to the time the Cubs and the Braves changed hands alien owners controlled the majority of the clubs in the National League, the only two ciuou owned by native sons being the Cin cinnati and Brooklyn clubs. The Philadelphia, Boston, St. Louis and Chi cago clubs were owned by outsiders. while the controlling factors at. New York and Pittsburg hailed from other parts of the counery. Here is the way the ciuds are now controlled: National League. Chicago Owned by C. H. Weegh- man and partners, ail Chicago men. Cincinnati controlled by home syn dicate, headea by August Herrmann. Brooklyn Owned by C. H. Ebbetts and partners, all of Brooklyn and Jew York. Boston Owned by Percy Haughton and Arthur C. Wise, both or Boston. Philadelphia Owned by William F. Baker, of New York, and Mrs. Will iam H. Locke, of Pittsburg. New York Controlled by Harry N. Hempstead, of Indianapolis, and Ashley Lloyd, of Cincinnati. Both now live In New York. Pittsburg Controlled by Barney Drey fus. originally from Louisville, and Louisville and Frankfort capital. St, Louis Owned by Mrs. Schuyler P. Britton, of Cleveland. American Leagne. Chicago Owned by Charles A. Comis- kev. born and raised in Chicago. St, Louis Owned by Phil Ball and Otto Stifel. both of St, Louis. Detroit Owned by Frank J. Kavin, of Detroit, Philadelphia Controlled by Benja min Shibe. of Philadelphia. Washington Controlled by Benjamin S. Minor and the Thomas C. Noyes es tate, of Washington. New York Owned by Jacob Ruppert and Tillinghast L. Huston, the former a native of New York and the latter of Cincinnati. Boston Owned by Joseph J. Lannin, of New York, Cleveland In hands of bankers' com mittee. Sentimental reasons alone have main ly been responsible for the desire of baseball executives to nave ciuds con trolled by home capital, as artistically alien ownership has frequently been of advantage to a team. Thus it is called to mind that John T. Brush made champions out of the Giants; C. W. Murphy of the Cubs; James E. Gaffney of the Braves:. Barney Dreyius or me Pirates, and William F. Baker of the Phillies, not to mention James Mc Aleer's success wlta the Red Sox. ABOUND one of the campflres of sport a night or two ago a num ber of keen students of many games were attempting to pick the greatest all-around athletic marvel this com monwealth has ever produced. The subject is one of abiding inter est, for there have been many who fol lowed varied sporting activities and who in these various lines reached high places. One Familiar Cnse. There is, for an often-used example, Christy Mathewson. Mathewson is one of the three greatest pitchers that ever lived. By many he is listed as the greatest. His place in baseball is at the top. At Bucknell he was a first class fullback, so at football, another major sport, his rank is well up. He isn't a star golfer, but he is a good one. He is a good trap-shooter, and, if that might be classed as a sport, a chess player of unusual ability. So here is Mathewson's field baseball, football, golf, trap-shooting, chess and checkers. Other Ball Players. Charles Albert Bender, the Chip pewa chief, holds & place, but not as high as Mathewson. Bender excels at baseball, golf and trap-shooting. His average here is high, but his range isn't as wide. Ty Cobb doesn't hold a high place in all-around play. The world's greatest ball player gives most of his time and energy to the one game that has fired his name around the universe. m m The Collegiate Array. The colleges show more all-around talent than the big leagues. Charley Brickley was a star football player, a good baseball player and sufficiently adept at track or field play to make the Olympic team. Tom Shevlln was an all-around star. but neither Shevlin nor Brickley holds as high a rank as Elmer Oliphant, the West Point wonder, who is a star en try at football, baseball, basketball and track. Oliphant is the best all around athlete now in college. He hasn't an equal for widespread effi ciency e The Case ef Snow, Undoubtedly one of the greatest waa the late Neil Snow, of Michigan. Snow stood as one of the great football play ers of the game. He was an all-Amer-ican and a great plunging fullback. Aa a ball player he batted over .390 for Michigan his last two years and received at least three good offers from big league clubs. He was one of the best college first basemen that ever lived. On the track Snow could high jump 'portlighir fS Grantand Rice. around six feet: be could put the shot 45 feet; he was a fine hurdler. Taking both quality and quantity, we should say that Snow was the equal at least ef any man that has been mentioned. - Thorpe the Kins;, But if the crown is to be awarded, the man entitled to the best claim is Jim Thorpe, the renowned Indian, who upset the social status of Sweden and rent asunder the A. A. U. Thorpe must be listed as one of the greatest foot ball players of the game. More than one will give him first place, even above the magic of Mahan or the power of Ted Coy. He could kick. run. pass, block, tackle, duck, dodge and smash. In baseball he was good enough to reach the big league. In track work he was good enough to win the all-around championship of the planet upon which we are making a brief and stormy abode. He was a fine runner and a great jumper. He could peg the javelin and toss the dis cus. Wherever placed, he was a star. Thorpe's athletic average was un doubtedly the highest of the lot. He could not do quite as many things as" Mathewson, but Sis range was nearly as broad, and in the major fields of sportive endeavor he held a trifle higher place. Beyond Protest. Colonel W. B. Hanna. the Pinehurst peer, evolved the theory that there was at least one sport wherein all concerned were professionals and therefore be yond protest, viz., the gentle art of grave digging. All grave diggers are professionals. There are no amateurs that we have ever seen. For that matter we never heard of an amateur preacher or an amateur lawyer. Many of them don't get paid, but they are willing to, which is the answer. But, strictly speaking, we should say that grave digging was the most pro fessional of all sports. Forced Marohes. More than one entry has drawn a reputation for being a high-class sportsman who was merely never tempted sufficiently. It is generally supposed, where trie race is fairly run, the best man always wins. But the best man for the year doesn't always win through the one week of championship play that counts. m m m After thinking it over we know two or three morose blokes who would probably be glad to take the job of grave digging for the pure love of the game, For example, a veteran umpire would more than likely esteem this job, even without pay, if he could operate in a cemetery where only ball players were interred. And Johnny Evers or, Heinie Zim wouldn't mind the job if placed in a burying ground where only the remains of umpires were brought for eternal sleep. The Record. Of all sad words that crown the frame, The saddest are, "I'm off my game." Stallings is trying to locate a first- class hotel with a first-class chef for his club, probably on the accepted theory that none but the Braves de serve the fare. It's just our luck. We notice where Joe Tinker has 33 ball players for sale at cost Just as we have laid in our Spring and Summer supply. CIIiCUIT TO BE SHAPED SOON Northwestern League Officials to Visit Montana Cities This Week. SPOKANE, Wash., Jan. 16. (Spe cial.) Robert L. Blewett, Northwest ern League president: D. E. Dugdale, president of the Seattle club, and F. C. Farr, the Spokane club owner, con stituting the Northwestern League committee to visit Montana and sound out the baseball situation there, are expecting to make the trip this week, and Farr said tonight that the tenta tive plan was to leave Tuesday night. Both Butte and Missoula, and possibly Helena, will be visited. The situation in Butte has reached the stage where it is only a matter of time. Enough pledges of support have been received to make Butte place in the Northwestern League for 1916 comparatively certain, according to the last reports. In Missoula, the outlook is not so encouraging, but it is good enough that the Missoula newspapers are saying that baseball men there are waiting with some in terest the coming of the Northwestern League committee. The sale of Third Baseman Herbert Murphy to Salt Lake may mean indi rectly the dropping from possible con sideration the name of Frank Raymond. of Seattle, as manager. This is becaase Dugdale made Farr only two proposi tions in respect to a deal for Raymond. pne involving & three-cornered deal that would bring him Grover, of Ta coma, and the other the trading of Raymond for Murphy. It was impos sible for Farr and McGinnlty to agree on Grover. Of course, when Farr and Dugdale get their heads together on the Mon tana trip something may be done.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 16. (Spe cial.) Bill Gleason, a bush league catcher whose home is at Portland. Or., places a valuation of 120,000 upon his throwing arm. At least that is the amount for which he is sulng Joseph C. Holloway, a Moneta-avenue Jitney driver, for injuries to his wing re ceived in an accident on December 30.

He says he was rendered unconscious and suffered a broken shoulder. crushed and bruised arm. internal in juries and many cuts and bruises about the head and body in the overturning of Holloway s jitney. He cites that as a ball player of ability he has been earning 8175 per month, and alleges the Injuries re ceived in the accident have incapaci tated him to such an extent that he will be unable to continue in his pro fession. Last vear Mr. Gleason Played with the Quincy (III.) ball club in the Tbree-I League. He is a catcher and has been playing professional ball sev eral years. He has played with Helena in the Union Association, Topeka in the Western League, San Diego-in the ill-fated Southern California League, which "blew up" two 3'ears ago; with Aberdeen in the Washington State League, and with Oakland in the Pa cific Coast League.

Take care of constipation and "the blues" will take care of itself. But laxatives and cathartics won't cure constipation. In fact the mdiscriniinate drugging of the system with such rem edies only aggravates the condition and tends to make con stipation chronic. Because of the evident dangers of the laxative habit, physicians everywhere are advocating the use of Nujol, a) pure white mineral oil, which does not drug or physic but) which acts as an intestinal lubricant. Nujol softens the consents of the intestines and lubricates the entire tract, so promoting normal evacuations. It is' purely mechanical in its action, and is hot absorbed into the system. Consequently it is not habit forming and may be taken in any quantity without harm. Write for booklet, "The Rational Treatment of Con stipation."
