TIIE MORNING OKEGONIAN. FRIDAY.' NOVEMBER 17. 1010. 17 FIGHT ON NATIONAL coin just Ewing's Activity to Get Fair Play for Piinor League Clubs Is Timely. PLAYERS' RIGHTS IGNORED Lawmakers of Baseball Shown to Vse Same) Arguments to Decide Cases Against Men on Exactly . Opposite Sides of Squabble. Cal Ewing's fight at New Orleans fer minor learue representation on the National baseball commission is time ly. Baseball has been mismanaged of late, years and is badly in need of re modeling. Not long: ae:o Hugrh Fuller ton invesigated the National commis-t tsion findings and discovered them to be a mass of inconsistencies. More than !0 per cent of tho cases of minor league clubs against major league clubs were decided in favor or the majors. Practically 3.00 per cent of major league cases against minor leagues were upheld. In nine cases of players four were decided against players on one ground, four against players on exactly oppo site grounds, while one player who won a. decision, did so exactly on the same evidence used by the commission in de ciding against the olhers. The National commission, rightly, should bo composed of men not finan cially concerned with baseball, b-t qualified to hear cases on the law and evidence. It Is short-sightedness that permits Ban Johnson and John K.. Tener and Garry Herrmann to dictate the laws of the game with power to rule or ruin. Nerval Baptie, the wonderful speed and fancy skater, is giving exhibitions in San Francisco and has written for an opportunity to display his wares in Portland. Baptie is the. fastest man in the worjd, without question, in a rink. He has been defeated outdoors on straight-aways, but is generally recog nized as one-of the fastest steel ma nipulators in the world. When Fothoron, Noyes, Hagerman, Tieuther, Houck and Kelly, of the Port land pitching staff, tqrne,d I'ing Bodle, of San Fraicosco, back hitless in six straight games they pulled the Seal slugger down below .'320 in the. 1916 Coast League batting ' ranking, and Bodle never again recovered that mark during the season. Up to that week Bodie had never been rated below .320 in the Individual batting records. But those Portland pitchers did more than put the slides under Bodie in the batting average statistics. They turned him back hitless in more consecutive Barnes than were charged up to him in a row any other time during the year. Out of 206 games, Bodie went hitless In only 60, and most of those 60 were against Los Angeles and Portland pitchers. Angel pitchers turned him back in 17 games, and Portland pitch ers turned the trick 4 times. Crediting the game to the pitcher that did most of the pitching where more than one pitcher was used in the game, Zabel, of Los Angeles, took the honors, retiring Bodie hitless in live games. Among the Angels pitch ers, Hogg and Ryan eack kept Bodie hitless in four games; Horstman, two; fitandridge and Crandall. one each. Sothoron was Portland's best bet against Bodie, keeping him hitless in four games; Noyes and Houck, three each; Hagerman, two; Kelly and Reu ther, one each. Zabel, of Los Angeles, and Sothoron, of Portland, may have turned Bodie, of San Frarjeisco, away hitless in the most games during the 1916 Coast League season, but when Bodie hit these pitchers he made up for the times that he didn't hit them. For of Bodie's score of home runs that he made in his vain effort to keep up with Bunny Brief in the race for the new home run record, three each were made off Zabel and Sothoron. Bodie had no particular favorites in the home-run line, outside of these two pitchers. He made five home runs against each Los Angeles and Portland; four against Oakland; and three each against Salt Lake and Vernon. Besides the three against Zabel, Bodie's two other homte runs off Los Angeles pitchers were Scogglns and Hogg. His five against Portland were three off Sothoron and two off Houck; against Oakland, two were off Prough. end one each off Martin and Boyd; against Salt Lake, two were off Kla witter and one off Klein; and against Vernon, one each was made off Quinn, Ness and Arellanes. Somebody must have been panning Ring Lardner, the clever paragrapher and football writer of the Chicago Tribune. Ring warbles to-wit: It is a football propheter. And he gueeseth two or three. "Oh, tell me this: For the one I miss. Now wherefore pannest thou me!'1 "Oh, the hues." quoth he. "they may laugh at me And scoff when my winners lose, . But by my risht eye, I will prophesy. As much as I doggone choose." Tommy Burns tells a good one on the subtleness of his countrymen. Years ago when Tommy was in his heydey he was matched to meet some mediocre local favorite in a Middle Western town, whereupon Tad Dorgan, the New York sketch artist, came forth with a cartoon depicting Burns tip a ladder "plucking another lemon" from a fruit tree. Months afterward Tommy Journeyed to Australia. One afternoon an Eng lishman introduced ltmself and asked Tommy how he was making out with his orchard over in America. "Orchard?" said Burns in. some sur "prise. "I haven't any orchard." "I'm surprised, old chap," replied his questioner. "I thought you had a bally orchard. I saw your photograph in a rsew York journal, picking oranges." MRS, rETER KERR AVTVS TROPHY V Both Xiow Gross and Low Net Scores Made In Golf Tourney.

Trainer and Police Drive Animal Into Cage Again Before Anyone. la Audience la Attacked. KANSAS CITY. Nov. 16. A trained lioness which escaped from her cage in a theater In Kansas City, Kan., to night caused an audience of more than 800 persons to flee in panic. So great was the force of this crowd as it rushed for safety that the front and Bides of the one-story building were pushed out in the rush for the street and a score of persons were injured. The trainer and several policemen caged the animal before she could attack the audience. The lioness was being put through a series of tricks when she suddenly rushed with great force upon the gate of the cage. The trainer was knocked aside and the animal bounded over the Stage toward the audience. Electric connections were broken and the house thrown into darkness as the crowd pushed against che walls, fighting for the exits. The lioness was crouched near the stage. Policemen were ready to shoot her when the trainer asked that they shoot into the floor. They complied, the shots intimidating the beast to the ex tent that she was driven back into her cage with sticks and poles. FIGHT OVER MED ON FACTIONAL STRIFE DEVELOPS IJf SAX FRANCISCO CHURCH.

LABOR DEMANDS PEACE ECONOMIC AND MILITARY UNIQX FOR ENFORCEMENT IRGED. Fight Acalnst Militarism Left to Clti- sena of Separate Countries. Arma ment la Not Limited. BALTIMORE, Nov. 16. A supplemen tary report on International labor re lations was submitted today to the con vention of the American Federation of Labor by the executive council, who asked and received authority to con tinue their efforts in behalf of an inter national labor conference after the war. Among the suggestions of means to make effective the purpose of the League of Peace contained in the re port was one that- the nations that band together for peace should make use of both economic and military forces against a signatory nation which might go to war or engage In hostilities against another member of the league without having submitted its grievance in the proper way pro vided by the agreement "Collective action by a league of na tions," the report says, "ought not to dictate the limitation or tne regula tion of military and naval equipment, but it can properly prevent the use of such force for National aggrandize ment and for exploitation of the small countries. We deplore militarism, but the fight against militarism must ulti mately be made by the citizens of the different nations. Establishing meth ods and agencies which render display of military and naval power no longer effective Is the practical and direct method to abolish rivalry between na tions in standing armies -and naval eauipment. In conclusion the report says: "The labor movements of all coun tries have contributed much to the will for peaee and justice, and must do their part in the development of the agen cies by which their will can be ex pressed." President Gompers was notified late todayhat President Wilson would re ceive the federation delegates at the White House at 5 o'clock Saturday. About 400 plan to go. The convention today adopted a reso lution Instructing the federation offi cers to deputize an organizer to pro ceed to the Canal Zone to investigate conditions affecting employes there.

FUSS IS EXPECTED Clash Looms When Frater nity's Appeal Is Tabled. OPEN CLASH IS EXPECTED Men. Kegard Time as Ripe to Try to Readjust Condi tions-rTulk of Third Major League Is Cause for Uneasiness. NEW YORK, Nov. 16. The possibility of trouble between players and club owners again looms large on the base ball horizon. The action of the Na tional Association of Professional Leaguers in tabling, without comment the request of the Players' Fraternity at New Orleans yesterday threatens to bring about a clash between The two organizations that will have far-reach ing effect. The players have stated to friends that they believe the time has arrived when they must stand firm upon their rights If they are to be considered in the coming readjustment of professional baseball conditions. The report that Chairman Gary Herrmann, of the Na tional Commission, may be superseded at the next annual meeting of that body has caused apprehension among the members of the fraternity, as he Is con Fidered by that organization to take greater intereet in the welfare of 'the players than the other members of the commission. Players are also concerned In the re ports of a possible third major league the rumors of clubs being shifted from one city to another, and the suit of the ex-Baltimore Federal League club against organized baseball. Several mysterious conferences. thought to be concerned with the latter club, whose suit for 900,000 will come to trial next February, are said to have approached prominent players, whose contracts have expired, and asxed ques tions regarding their treatment In. the past and their plans for the future. These, taken together with other In tereetiug developments in baseball, have led the players to believe. It is under, stood, that a crisis is at hand. This has strengthened their determination to establish their status in connection with the professional game upon a firm basis which will precent complications in the future.
