The National league at its annual meeting today extended for three years the term of Jhn A. Heydler, president, and .granted him a substantial increase in salary. President Heydler's present ealary is $10,000 a year and the in crease, while it was not officially stated, i3 said to have been 50 per cent. The additional yeats will make his present term expire December 31. 1924. The new agreement with "the Amer ican league which is to run for 25 years was adopted and ' formally signed by each of the eight clubs and President Heydler. The agreement was adopted without even the sug gestion of an amendment. Annnal Report Is Made. "Baseball as an institution has re sponded quickly and courageously to meet an unprecedented situation growing out of the discovery of crookedness," said President Heydler in submitting his annual report. "The whole governmental structure of the same has been changed to meet this issue of dishonesty within the ranks and to cope with the gamblers' attack from without. No one need have fear of the outcome. "Prior to the 1920 season our New Tork club barred two players for the best interests of the game, there by practically destroying its pen nant chances. The Chicago club dropped another undesirable and suc cessfully defended a damage suit nrought by this player. The trial was a public one, the evidence pre fcented by the league being of such relentless force as to warrant a find ing against the player by a jury of his own townspeople. This verdict for clean baseball proved of far reaching value. 10-0 Season Successful. "At this time there persist in cir culation rumors having to do with the probity of several other players. Tour president has followed up each and every tangible report of this character to the end of calling play ers concerned before hira for exam ination and preserving records of testimony." The 1920 season, the president said, proved the most successful in the history of the National league, the paid attendance being more than 1,000,000 in excess of the previous season. During the season the clubs used 27,924 baseballs, an increase over 1920 of 10.248. This increase was due mainly to the enforcement of the new pitching rules, Mr. Heydler said. Amendment 1s Adopted. A constitutional amendment was adopted which provides that when waivers are asked on players, the waivers may be withdrawn. Under the present rule when waivers are asked and a club puts in a claim for the player, the transfer must be con summated. The league voted to recommend to the new advisory council created un der the new agreement that spitball players now playing in the league be permitted to use that delivery unti: the end of their careers in the league. This action was taken as a resuli of a communication from Pitcher Bill Doak of the St. Louis club and af fects besides himself, his teammates Goodwin, Fillingim and Rudolph o; Boston. Douglas of New York, Grimes and Mitchell of Brooklyn; Fisher o; Cincinnati and Hendrix of Chicago. Doak, in his communication, declared that if the spitball were barred it would deprive those pitchers of their earning power as players. Pennant Given ' Brooklyn. President Dreyfuss of Pittsburg was named to act with President Heydler as a committee to lraft the schedule for next season. The 1920 pennant was awarded officially to Brooklyn. The new board of directors elected includes August Herrmann. Cincin nati; C. H. iibbets, Brooklyn; Will iam F. Baker, Philadelphia, and Sam uel Breadon, St. Louis. When asked if anything had been clone in the Herzog-Bentor. contro versy. President Heydler said the mat ter did not come up before the meet ing. He said, however, that the league as a league had nothing against Her zog. He said he had investigated to the limit the charge made by Benton that Herzog had offered a bribe, bui was unable to get substantiation. Personally, Mr. Heydler said, he did not see how the league could permit the career of a player like Herzog to be ruined by an unsupported state h inent. He said the whole matter rela tive to both players would be settled before the opening of the season. UEAGCE KEEPS OLD XAME Proposed Change Stopped AVlien Copyright Is Discovered. NEW YORK. Dec 14.

Noted Football Player Rallies From Pneumonia Attack Only to Be Fatally Stricken. SOUTH BEND, Ind., Dec. 14. George Gipp, Notre Dame football player, died at 3:23 o'clock this morn ing from streptococcic throat disease Gipp. whose splendid playing won him . countrywide recognition and mad him a choice for a position on an Ail-American eleven, had been ill since the Notre Dame-Northwestern game Nov. 20. Pneumonia helped weaken him. Specialists succeeded in ridding his system of pneumonia, however, but he did not have the stamnia left to ward off the poison resulting from the throat affection. He rallied sev eral times, but he quickly weakened again and died when he relapsed the fourth time. During the final hours of his fight for life, Gipp was rational and was said to have shown remarkaMe grit, refusing to give in to the inevitable. His mother, brother and sister were at the bedside. Gipp first jumped Into the spotlight when Notre Dame clashed with the Army in 1919. His kicking, forward passing, field running and generalship won him the plaudits of eastern foot ball critics. One ray of happiness was brought Into the athlete's few remaining hours when he was informed that he had been selected as a player on a mythical All-American eleven. During his illness he also was informed that he had been offered a contract by the Chicago National league baseball club. Gipp's ability as a baseball player was on a par with that in football. Gipp was 24 years old. His home was in Laurium, Mich. He was a senior at Notre Dame, being a law student. George Gipp not only was the in dividual star of the Notre Dame uni versity football eleven, but was gen erally conceded to be the most bril liant halfback of the season. This was his second season and in both he was chosen by many writers for mythical ail-American elevens. In the opinion of the football ex perts, Gipp combined all the qualities necessary In an all-around star. A brilliant runner and an almost per fect forward passer, he possessed an ability to sidestep, dodge and keep his feet, which frequently carried him many yards after he had apparently been brought to the ground. As a kicker he was one of the best in the country both at punting and at field goals While a freshman at Notre Dame he is credited with a 62-yard goal kick in a practice scrimmage. On the defense he seldom missed his man. In the game against the Army, Gipp went back despite an In jured shoulder and won the contest for Notre Dame, scoring all his team's 17 points. When Gipp first entered Notre Dame, he had little football exper ience. He did not even go out for the team, desiring only to make the baseball nine. One day, s& the s'ory goe, he was watching the team prac tice when a ball rolled over toward him. Gipp picked it up and drop kicked it between the goal posts from a distance of 50 yards. He imme diately was "drafted"' for the foot ball team and since then has been a star. PCIX.MAX NEGOTIATIONS EXD Xotre Dame Calls Off Proposed Game in Northwest. PULLMAN, Wash., Dec. 14.

JUDGE M'CREDIE DEPARTS SOUTH FOR BALL SESSION Portland President to Introduce Measure for Protection of Game Front Gamblers at San Francisco Meeting. BY L. H. GREGORY. JUDGE McCREDIE decided yester day that a little change of air and scenery wouldn't hurt him and. that he would attend the. Pa c.'fic Coast league meeting at Sac ramento Thursday in person. Ac cordingly he packed up his grip in a hurry, told Walt not to take any wooden money and grabbed the 4 o'clock rattler for the south. The old judge has been sticking rather close to his home for the past several months. He hasn't attended a Coast league meeting in so long he will almost have to be introduced to the boys. In fact, he had everything arranged for Walt to go to this one for him. But just at the last moment the spirit of the thing got in the judge's blood and he concluded to run along to the meeting and swap hand shakes with his fellow-magnates. Not a great deal of work is before the meeting. For one thins, a presi dent is to be elected, as Bill McCar thy's first term as prexy was for one year only. But McCarthy has come through so well and made such a hit in baseball circles that not only is he sure to be re-elected, but his salary probably will be increased and he will be named this time for a period of years. "McCarthy has made a good presi dent for the Pacific coast league and deserves re-election," commented the judge. "He showed his nerve when he went after the crooks and gam blers. The Los Angeles grand jury has indicted every man he accused, which shows he knew exactly what he was talking - about. His stand against the gamblers and crooked ball players preceded action in the big leagues and had a lot to do with breaking things wide open every- "With McCarthy as president, un remitting war will be made against the gamblers in all the Coast league cities next season. The Coast league has been cleaned up. The next thing is to keep it clean. McCarthy will do It." The Judge is taking along with him to the meeting the draft of his measure, published in this Volumn about a month ago, making it a penal offense for a ball player to accept money for "throwing" a game, or for any person to offer money or other consideration for that purpose. The penalty is a little matter of five years in the penitentiary. At first the judge overlooked his kind friends, the umpires, in this bill, but he has now included them. He will propose at the league meet ing that the league have this bill or something covering the same ground, introduced in the state legislatures of California, Utah and Washngton. He will see that it also U introduced in the Oregon legislature. With the four Coast league states having a uniform law on the subject the judge thinks the gamblers will back and fill a long time before they venture to slip a ball piayer a piece of change for crooked work, even if they could get the ball player. These gambling aces do hate to go to Jail. Another thing to come before the Coast league directors will be formal ratification of the new national agree ment adopted at a session of base ball powers with Judge Landis the other day. The agreement isn't bind ing on a minor league until it accepts it, but it seems to suit most of the minors and all are expected to come in under it. There's little doubt that the Coast league will ratify promptly. A change in the length of the play ing season also is a possibility, though not a probability. The present Coast league season is 28 weeks long, which gives each club 14 weeks at home and two weeks in each other town of the circuit. There has been some talk in the south of trying to lengthen the sea son, but the judge said yesterday that if there is any change it will be to shorten it, so far as he is con cerned. Except for difficulty in open ing and closing the season, the pres ent schedule is just about right. Eut the judge says there really should be one other good California city in the league, so as to obviate the necessity of opening and closing the seasori in Salt Lake, where the early and late season games are as likely to run into bad weather as in Portland. "What I'd like to see done," ex plained the judge, "is for Salt Lake to sell half its franchise to Fresno or San Diego. The Salt Lake club then could open and close in which ever of these towns got the other half of Its schedule, and we'd be as sured of good climatic conditions. This would give San Diego, say, seven weeks of baseball and Salt Lake City seven weeks. I think it would work eut fine. "We need this additional California &ity because, thougn at present there are five California teams, four cf them really come from two cities. The Vernon and Los Angeles tearria boih represent Los Angeles, and the San Francisco and Oakland teams botn represent San Francisco. The experi ment of playing ames in Oakland during the week never has beea suc cessful. Most people living in Oak land work in San Francisco. "The ideal arrangement would he for the Sacramento team also to seii half its franchise to Tacoma or Van couver here in the northwest. Sacra mento isn't quite a Coast league town and 14 weeks of home baseball are too much for it. What a pipp of a league it would be if we could trans fer seven of those weeks to Tacoma." This brings to mind that there was a lot of talk for a time of transfer ring the Salt Lake franchise to Van couver, B. C, all of which is now definitely off for next year, at least. Bob Brown, at Vancouver, was wild to get into the Coast league and did try to raise the $75,000 necessary to swing the deal. But right away he ran into the exchange rate against Canadian money in the United States. To pay the Salt Lake owners J75.000 and take the 'franchise would have cost the Vancouver men In the deal about J12.000 more to make up the deficiency in exchange against Canadian money. Some of the California magnates are reagitating the spitball issue. In common with the majors and most other leagues, the Coasters last sea son prohibited use of the spitball ex cept by men known and registered as spitball flingers. The big leagues have now decided to let such pitchers as Grimes of Brooklyn and Coveleskie of Cleveland continue with the spit ter as long as they are in the big leagues, but to continue the prohibi tion against its use by new pitchers. Walt McCredie favors making the same rule in the Coast league, with the proviso that recognized spitball pitchers from other leagues who come hereby trade or purchase be permit ted also to use the spitter here. One of these days Coveleskie and Grimes et al. will be through in the majors and will have to retire or drop back to the minors. Under Walt's plan they would be permitted to use the spitter here. "In short," explains Mac, "it would be an injustice to prohibit a man who can only pitch- effectively with the spitball from using it until he is through with baseball. But I wouldn't let any youngsters use it. As the old timers drop away there will be fewer and fewer spitball hurlers until finally, as the last of them passes, it will automatically go out of exist ence." LAYTON WINS CUE TITLE ROBERT CAXXEFAX DEFEATED 75-64 IX 99 INNINGS. Contest Is Final One In Play-Orf of Three-Cornered Tie In Three-Cushion Tourney. CHICAGO, Dec 14. John Layton of St. Louis last night won the na tional three-cushion billiard cham pionship by defeating Robert Canne fax of New York, 75 to 64, in 99 in nings. The contest was the final one In the playoff of the three-cornered tie which resulted in the final round of play. The victory gave Layton a rec ord of 14 games won and two lost. Cannefax won the title a year ago. Neither man played consistent bil liards last night, Cannefax resorting to safety play which held Layton's score down near the middle of the game when the new champion broke through and ran 11 points, giving him the lead, 46 to 42, in the 64th inning. 1c this run Laytonamade three diffi cult shots but left himself naturals on the other eight. While Cannefax held Layton safe in the early innings, he was unable to take advantage of his opponent's lapses, several times missing naturals when he seemed certain of making a run. At one time Layton was held scoreless for 13 innings, but Canne fax counted only a few points in that period. Layton formerly held the world's pocket billiard championship, but only in recent years has he contested for the Angle championship. His play iu the preliminaries broke all world's records for speed. De Oro was the only man to beat him and he then won 10 straight, finishing first. The victory brought a J1500 cash prize to Layton and a salary of S200 a month for the next year. Cannefax, while losing his title, received a $1000 cash prize for second place and will get tlOO a month for the next year.

Manager Turple of the Oregon Institute of Technology will depend largely on Beckwith, formerly a Washington high school player, and Robinson to be the point makers for his quad against the South Parkway team. Mr. Lee, who was president of the league last season, will act as reteree in this contest. The Arleta Athletic club-St. Johns Bachelor game will see the heaviest and lightest teams in . the league to gether. The Bachelors are large, good passers and fairly good shots. Man ager Bugbee's team will average about 180 pounds, while the Arleta aggregation will tip the scales at about 140 pounds. Manager Brooks axpects his clubmen to make up this disadvantage by their teamwork. From Pftmnarativp EcnrPQ tha Arl.tn boys appear to have one of the strong- est teams in the league.' The Swastikas and the St. Johns Lumbermen both lost their- first league games, but both are confident of winning tonight.

The Hill Military academy basket ball team got off to a good start in its first game of the season Monday night by downing the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club intermediates. 18 to 17. It was a closely contested game from start to finish, but the Cadets, by a whirlwind finish, man aged to nose out their opponents in the last minute of play.' Goodrich, captain; Thompson and Homer Heyden put up a great game for the Hill team. t Alameda Team Beats Shaver. In the first game of the grammar school basketball league yesterday afternoon the Alameda quintet took a close contest from the Shaver five, 9 to 6. The game was a hard-fought affair from start to finish. Holgate Defeats Lents. The Holgate football eleven won another decisive victory Sunday, when it defeated the Lents Juniors, IS to 0.

Semi-final, eight rounds Roy Sutherland vs. Willie St. Clair. Special event, six rounds Sammy Gordon vs. Baby Blue. Six-round preliminary Tex Vernon vs. Eddie Gorman. Curtain-raiser, four rounds Freddie Lough vs. Johnny Fu-gate. Joe Gorman and Al Grunan, the two principals in tonight's main event at the Hellig theater, are down to the required weight limit of 133 pounds. The two boxers took things easy yes terday for the first time after a strenuous training period of several days. Gorman, under the direction of Sam Langford, has trained hard and faith fully and will not carry an extra ounce of flesh when he climbs through the ropes tonight. In A Grunan Joe will face a lad who knows the finer points of the game. Gor man will need everything Langford may have been able to teach him in the short space of time they have been working together to stand the fast pace the Los Angeles boy is ex pected to set. Grunan came here from Los An geles some months ago for the ex press purpose of enticing Gorman into the ring. He kept forcing the issue so. consistently that the public demanded the contest to be staged. A victory for Grunan over the rugged local battler, will mean he can have anything in the way of a bout that he wants in this sector. The main event is backed by a good programme of bouts. The semi-final will find Roy Sutherland and Willie St. Clair swapping punches. Suther land is a new comer here and in his previous bouts has shown a lot of class. A six-round special event will be furnished by Sammy Gordon, whe has returned here after a successful invasion of California, and Baby Blue, a great little colored scrapper from Seattle. Another six-round bout between Eddie Gorman and Tex Vernon and a four-round curtain raiser between Freddie Lough and Johnny Fugate round out the bill. The much heralded news about that invasion of Portland by San Fran cisco boxers is more or less of the well-known bunk. Since the game went haywire in the seal rocka city there hasn't been one arrival from there. Of course now and then as in the past a boxer will trek here from San-Francisco, but as for them coming up here in carload lots or anything, that is the pure and unadulterated. Good, clean boxers will always be welcome here as new faces are the life of the game. The Portland box ing commission will keep a wary eye out for any of those who are not of that caliber and they might hail from KaIamazooas well as San Fran cisco. Because men with criminal instincts happened to pick on the box ing game as a profession is no reason that the whole mass of boys In the game are of the same caliber and no sound thinking person entertains that thought. When it comes down to brass tacks and brass knuckles the promoters in San Francisco are themselves to blame for the whole rotten layout there. They encouraged K. O. Kruvosky and Spud Murphy to box and used their Influence to show them after they had been previously barred for being in shady mixups. Dolph Thomas, one of those In on Dreamland rink, man aged Kruvosky, while Frank Lawler, one of the other two partners, looked after Murphy. Nice business. Boxing followers are Inclined to ecoff at the proposed bout between Champion Jack Dempsey and Harry Greb, the Pittsburg light heavy weight, but Greb is firmly of the opinion that he will surprise everyone by the showing he will make. For nearly' a year Greb has been trying to close the match, but he al ways was unable to find a promoter willing to put it on until Floyd Fitz simmons of Benton Harbor listened to his plea. To the average fan it looks like a joke to match a little fellow like Greb who Is no wonder in any particular branch of boxing with the hard-hitting champion.- But (some of the best judges of boxing say that the Pittsburger, with his head bob bing and punching tactics, is more likely to go the full distance with Dempsey than any of the bigger and more highly considered heavies. Harry Schuman and Joe Benjamin, who' are slated to mix in the main event of the bill to be held at the Milwaukle arena next Wednesday night, finally came to terms late last night. Matchmaker Kendall of the Mil waukle commission; had about given up hope of landing this stellar at traction when Benjamin yielded and the go was closed. The pair were' originally matched to meet at 135, give or take three pounds. Hardly had the match been made when Schuman hurt his hand, which caused him to postpone the go until he was able to pi"operly condi tion himself. The hand was rather slow In heal ing, and Schuman, who had been In the habit until his Injury, of spending a part of his time in the gymnasium, found that he was putting on con siderable weight. He was of the opinion when he started training that it was fat and would roll off. but found after work ing for a solid week that he would be unable to make the require?. weight and do himself justice. Upon being convinced of this fact, he called upon Matchmaker Kendall and told him of his fears and th latter immediately took the matter up' with Benjamin, who Insisted upon seeing Schuman on the scales. To this Heinle consented, and Joe after a bit of coaxing finally agreed to the gc at 140 ringside nude. Forty Cubs Will Come to Coast. LOS ANGELES, Cal..
