- With the National Association of
Trnfpii!nnal Baseball Clubs closing
. Um .tAii.Hl Pssion here today, whlsp
ere slipped around hotel corridors and
treet corners that another independ
. nt learue 1 in the embryo stage.
When the National league holds Its
.meeting in New York, December 11.
and after tho American association
has finished its meeting in Chicago,
December 17. some very definite plans
may be announced, for the material
for a good fire is In tho stove ana
"the smoke is mounting.
Zt Zs Something" Hew
The now league is a brand new idea.
.jt nam i Deen iouchou jci vy "i"i
and Uan't ven in a state from which
any predictions can be made, but there
. are certain American association club
owners who believe it can be made
j, . to pase the hard turns and there are
v. International clubowners who feel the
' eame way about it.
These men are fighters and they
-aren't ready to put back the thought
that they have been whipped. In fact;
'It Is felt in some quarters that a cer
' tain amount of organized baseball's
- aupport may be counted on for an in
dependent organization. Certain lead
era have made statements that might
:te construed in such a fashion. Whe
ther the men would stick after a
-' .declaration of independence was flung
In the teeth of those who refused Xo
' sanction a re-arrangement of terrl-
. tpry 1 something that can't be said.
' Defeat Biff Surprise
The defeat of the plan to redistrict
the leagues was morel of a surprise
. than those behind the Idea were wlll-
lnfto admit today. Out of the 13
leagues whose votes were cast there
were at least seven whose, votes would
be counted in with the new plan. They
turned their heels when the showdown
came and the defeat of the radical
element was turned Into absolute rout.
. The International league and the
Three I league were the only organ!
' cations In the association to vote for
" the amendment ttiat would have given
new territory to every minor league
: -in the country. Al Tearney, as well
as Ed Barrow, saw the plan to save
baseball wallowing In the dust of
'.. ' defeat.
There were well-informed baseball
men, .however, who saw the bright
;lde to the action of the association.
; pointing out the financial support that
' would have been given some club-
owners. Their arguments, however,
found opposition when it was shown
that clubowners will have to close
' their gates next season. In the case
' of the Western league, in fact, it was
announced that changes are absolutely
certain. It was stated by one club
owner of that circuit that six clubs
may be the only ones to open the sea
son when spring gets around to base-
ball business.
, They Are All Knocked Out.
V. ' St. Joseph's franchise, according to
-'Jack Holland, owner -of that club, is
.' quits likely to be in Davonport, Iowa,
next year. The South Atlantic league
' " , : : . :
has only two clubs left from the
wreck that took place last summer.
The American association will play
only 140 games. The Pacific Coasc
league is going to cut its season snort,
it is said. ,
Garry Herrman, chairman of th
National commission, warned the mi
nors they must cut salaries and re
duce the other expenses if they hope
to survive the war. So, despite the
stand the association has made, it is
regarded as certain that fewer leagues
will finish the season next summer
than were represented here at the
annual meeting.
Every clubowner -wears a long face
and only tales of woe are heard. It
is agreed that minor leagues are in
worse shape than ever before in- his
tory. They deserve credit for - their
spirit in voting to go on through.

Coffroth Up in Air Situation
San Diego, Cal., Nov. 15. (I. N.
S.) Bitterly disappointed after a
campaign and plans for one of the
greatest western race meetings
which had neared its beginning on
Thanksgiving day,- horsemen and
followers were a till hopeful of an
adjustment- which would allow a
meeting to commence:ori scheduled
time. , President. James Wood Cof
froth of the Tla Juana Jockey club
smiled through the seriousness of
the situation and said he was still
' hopeful for a turn of af fairg that
would not crush a- gam that had
been built after two full seasons
of gYand racing. (
President Qoffroth Issued the
following statement late this aft
ernoon: "It is with great regret that I
most admit a temporary postpone
ment of the third annual winter
race meeting at Tia Juana, sched
uled to be opened on Thanksgiv
ing day. The postponement is
causd by an enforcement of pass
port laws which were deemed nec
essary by our government. -Unless
some solution concerning the
passport problem can be made or
some relief can be had, the post
ponement of the meeting Is nec
essary. I am still hopeful for
such relief.
"The sudden action has been a
great disappointment. I have made
many preparations for this meet
ing. But it was a national en
forcement, one above our own
reach and telling.
"For the present I ..must an
nounce ' a postponement of this
meeting."
The shrill blast of Referee Stub
ling's whistle, just as Morris Bogo
way had completed one of the pret
tiest and best executed on-side kicks
ever witnessed In scholastic football,
robbed Lincoln of a possible chance of
a victory in Wednesday's game against
James John. The final score was:
James John 6, Lincoln 0.
The play occurred In the final per
iod. Captain Wright making the kick,
Rogoway, who was . standing about
a yard and a half behind Wright,
caught the ball after It had traveled
(about 15 yards... Just as Rogoway
caught the ball, Stubling blew his
whistle. The James John players
made no attempt to tackle Rogoway,
and the Lincoln halfback .stood still
for several seconds; until one of his
team mates yelled for him to run. He
ran across the goal line, and no James
John player made an 'attempt to stop
him as the ball had been declared
dead.
Admits Xls Mistake
Referee Stubling is not trying to
make any alibis for his mistake. He

Sunday.
University of Oregon, Eugene,
Nov. 15. Patrons of the Oregon
Caftfomla game, to be held next
Saturday, November 17. on Kin
caid field, may be forced to pay a
10 per cent increase on each ad
ml&eion, if the workings of the
government war tax strikes foot
ball tickets the same as theatre
tickets.
The question was opened last
Saturday at the California-Washington
game at Berkeley, when
government officials tried to
make the University of Califor
nia pay a 10 per cent war tax on
all admissions to the game. They
held that the law was plain if
the receipts from the game went
into the student body funds, but
California protested on the grounds
that part of the money was turned
over to the university to keep up
the football field.
Graduate Manager A. R. Tif
fany U still in doubt as to whether
the tax will be put into effect be
fore the big game with Califor
nia, although he has reoelved defi
nite word from Milton A. Miller,
collector of customs at the
United States custom house in
Portland, that he will rule against
placing the war tax on football
tickets, as is now placed on the
atre tickets.

With the ball on the nine-yard line,
Lincoln advanced . the ball within
James Johns' five-yard line, as it did
twice before during the contest, but
.they were unable to- gain yardage
tacks, too, were met with a stone

made only on end runs. The loss f
Britton, who has -left college to enter

was finally "ejected from the contest.
James John was penalized 95 yards,
four of the penalties being for hold-
ng. Lincoln lost 3a yards, a ma-
orlty of which were for off-side plays.
Maka Scot Quickly
The James John players made their
touchdown ln the first period. On
the first down following the kickoff,
Thompson ripped off 20 yards on an
end run. This wast followed with a
40-yard pass from W. Schroeder to
Smith, which put the ball on Lincoln's
4-yard line. From this point Schroeder
carried over for a touchdown. Goal
was missed.
Captain Wright of Lincoln played
brilliant ball, and if Coach Earl had
a couple of other players like him
he would have a wonderful team. In
addition to pulling down the fair
catch, Rogoway made a cdtiple of brll
liant runs and also broke up a num
ber of James Johns' passes.
Coach Earl of Lincoln announced
that he would protest the contest.
Lincoln will play its last game of
the season Monday against the Benson
Polytechnic team. The game has been
transferred from Thursday to Monday
Earl will leave for Eugene, Or., where
he will take a six weeks' course prior
to enlisting in the ordnance depart
