There's apt to be a pretty busy gent around our town
for the next year. Mrs. Howard Maple may get to ee her
husband now and then, and then again she may not.
The Maple man, yesterday named business boss of the
Solons by Mrs. George E. Waters, now has more duties than
the Duce has arm and navy troubles.
Right now. in addition to his
job a data herder of tbe baseball
club. Maple 1 basketball coach
of tbe Willamette Bearcats, is
ssrseant-ln-chlef of all Bearcat
athletic recruits, is cblet recruiter,
ebief Job setter for recruits and,
without doubt, the nearest ap
proach to a full-fledged trencher
man on the Willamette PE staff.
, Next spring Maple, in addition
to his Job as Solon business exec,
will be Bearcat track coach, chief
of recruits on hand, chief of re
cruiting and, without doubt, still
a full-fledged trencherman.
Next fall Maple, In addition to
his Job as Senator business head,
will be assistant football coach at
Willamette, chief of recruits on
hand, chief of recruiting and,
without doubt, still a full-fledged
trencherman.

Mrs. Waters made a wise choice

best bookkeeper running around

reason is in a position to protect
the owner's Interests.

Isn't much money to be made
unless your club can develop
salable players. There are ex
ceptions, of course, such as Spo
kane, where tbe gate is of class
AA proportions. And a good
thing, too, for yon can count oa
two fingers the n timber of play
ers the Indians have sold up the
ladder.
Not only does Happy Howard
have the background knowledge
of what Is necessary for the prof
itable functioning of a club in or
ganised ball, but he is well known
In the home burg, has the happy
faculty of being able to get along
with everyone and, from his
scouting, coaching, playing and
managing experiences has learned
to distinguish between a young
ster of promise and an out-and-out
busher.
Tieup Expected.
While Mrs. Waters has not yet
decided on Coast league tieup, or
working agreement, for the Sens
tors, It is understood that she con
templates such .if . Skipper Grif
fiths and Maple deem Undesirable.
It is also understood that she fa

received friendly assistance last
season.

Senator club would appear a

team, aad inasmuch as. Mrs.
Water has already announced
the Salem club is for sale. It
would seem a Portland tieup
might be a fine opening- wedge'
toward that eventuality.
There Is a persistent rumor
that the Portland club will have

out of the busbes, as was learned
last year.
For Instance, It's all right to
say the Soloas already have 15

Griffiths but the question is,
how many of em will tbe Little
Skipper want back aad where
will be get others if tbe Solons
don't have access to ivory al

There is absolutely no assur
ance that any one of the 14 play

may quit baseball for business,

Nocturne Ball
Is Restricted
Judge Landis Joins With
Senior Loop to Limit
Night Contests
By JUDSON BAILEY
CHICAGO, Dec. 1 1-P)-Base-ball's
winter meetings came to a
blustery end today with the ma
jors restricting night baseball and
reelecting Commissioner K. M.
Landis.
It took more than four hours
for the magnates to dispose of
minor business at the joint meet
ing of the National and American
leagues. Then they headed home
ward from one of the leanest
trading conclaves in the memory
of man.
.During the major league meet
ings here this week the American
league did not complete a single
player deal. And the best It ac
complished at the minor meet
ings in Atlanta last week was the
sale of two second line pitchers
by the Boston Red Box and the
St. Louis Browns.
Argue Night Ball
The owners raised a lot of
steaming indignation in a long
debate over limiting night ball to
seven home games for any one
club. This has been the National
league rule since the Cincinnati
Reds Inaugurated the night game.
But last season the 8t. Louis
Browns were given permission to
play 14 and the Philadelphia Ath
letics eight and since these are
cities which have clubs in both
leagues, the National league
sought to have Its iron-clad rule
extended to Include the American
league.
Led by the Browns, the junior
circuit fought the move heatedly
and in the joint meeting the' two
leagues split evenly. Landis then
cast the deciding vote in favor of
tbe seven-game limitation.
President Donald Barnes of the
Browns was so Indignant that he
refused to comment, but said he
would issue a statement upon his
return to St. Louis tomorrow.
Exhibition Slated
The majors decided not to hold
another training camp all-star
game such as the one at Tampa,
Florida, last spring for war re
lief. They did agree to have two
clubs play an annual exhibition at
the birthplace of baseball, Coop
erstown, NY, with, the World
Champion Cincinnati Reds and
Cleveland Indians tentatively
agreeing to meet on next June 13.
Reelection of Landla was a
foregone conclusion after the two
leagues yesterday . unanimously
approved resolutions ' to that ef
fect. The 75-year-old "cxar" of
baseball still has IS months to go
on his present term and the new
one will .run till January 12,
194C, with an annual salary of
