Frank’s Salary Plan Would
Rob Cracker Team of Bailey,
Alperman and Other Players
Ry Percy H. Whiting.
IF’ Charley Frank’s justly exe
crated "sliding scale salary
limit is put in force it will cost
the Crackers from four to six of
their best players. Hither ft would
bar off such men as Alperman and
Bailey, and making the signing of
McAllister, Smith. Kirke. Weaver
and Donnelly an impossibility, or
else it would make necessary the
most barefaced salary limit dodg
ing that the Southern league has
ever seen.
Do you wonder Bill Smith has
passed up the American and Na
tional league meeting and th it lu
will beat it to Birmingham early
to attend the Southern leagu.
sion and to fight against Cuarley
Frank’s pet scheme?
Frank's sliding scale system looks
as harmless as a Jellyfish. It pro
vides that you are entitled to pay a
salary corresponding to the num
ber of players you have—s3,6oo for
eighteen players, $3,400 for seven
teen, and so on down to $2,400 for
twelve. The joker, concealed up
the sleeve of this harmless little
salary limit, is a provision that no
team may pay over $250 a month
for any player.
Imagine some of the topliners in
the Southern league playing for
$250 a month--that is. imagine it II
YOU CAN. We can’t. Imagine,
please, the .veil that Otto Jor
dan or virtually any of the ex-big
leaguers who are in good trim
would let out if their salaries were
cut to $250 a month. A rush day
tn a boiler factory would be placid
compared with it.
*rOT being familiar with the pay
roll of the Cracker team, we
aren't prepared to say which mem
bers of the club received over $250
a month last season, but it’s mor
ally certain that a good many of
them did. Alperman and Bailey
were both men entitled to more
than $250 and both undoubtedly got
tt. It la a cinch that Alperman is
a high-priced man. In fact. Char
ley Hemphill virtually admitted it
and was so worried over the mat -
ter of getting “Whitey signed that
he went to see him at his home in
Etna Pa., and closed the deal with
him there. Bailey, considering
where he came from, must have
beet) a high-priced man, and the
same is true of Aglet .
And look at the men Smith is
rounding up for next year. Fat
chance of getting Wallace Smith.
Jay Kirke. Arlie Weaver, or Don
nelly to sign for $250.
Either the Frank scheme must
be beaten or else two alternatives
are presented—to get rid of these
star men and to replace them with
better ones, or to evade tin- salary
limit. And to evade the limit in
such fashion that it would appear
that these men were being secured
at $250 a month would be so raw
as to offend even the often tested
gullibility of President Kavanaugh.
» * •
r F it were at all possible to enforce
* this $250-to-a-player limit, which
of course it isn’t, it might be a good
thing to put it in force GRAD
UALLY. It could be provided tlr.it
there would be no limit for next
season on the salary paid any play
er. For 1914 the limit could be S3OO.
for 1915 it might be $275 and by
1915 the $250 limit could be eased
over, in this way managers could
prepuW themselves for the shock
ami could be gradually getting rid
of their high-priced playera.
It’s childish, however, t > take any
ordinary .salary limit too seriously.
Os course If a limit of $250 on each
player wen* pm in effect this year
it would aoi k a hardship. But in
the long run salary limits don’t
keep managers from paying what
they want, any more than laws
against stealing keep people from
stealing.

NOT cnanglng me subject,
abruptly or anything, but pa
pers—of big league towns and lit
tle—are carrying a lot about Mike
Balenti and his chance of making
good in the big leagues.
Theo Breitenstein gave out an in
terview recently in which he de
clared the man to be a wonder, and
Bill Smith, who had Balenti last
siinnner. ieechoes the belief.
"They can talk all they want to
about Dee Walsh,” says Hill Smith,
and what he’ll do in the big
I. agues, but this Mike Balenti will
play little round rings around him.
Walsh is a brilliant man. but he
has a lot of faults. Balenti has ev
erything except base stealing abil
ity, and he may be able to get that.
We worked with him last spring
and taught him how to slide.. But
somehow he couldn’t keep the slide
after he once learned it. Sometimes
he could make it and sometimes he
would miss. But barring this
weakness he is a wonder—-a good
hitter and a good fielder. I be
lieve be will stick."

'UIIE Provtdtme club is sending
1 a lot of players Southward.
This Detroit farm shipped Charley
Schmidt to Mobile. James Gillespie
and Charley Street to Chattanooga,
and the rumor has it that Jakey
Atz is to be canned and that he will
come back to the Southland.
Tlte report from Providence is
that this Gillespie may make Chat
tanooga a very valuable man. He
played with the Rocky Mount team,
of the Eastern Carolina league, in
1909 and finished out the season
with the Grays. The next spring
he looked like a million dollars in
gold and was put on third regular
ly. Shortly after the season start
ed he was spiked and it slowed
him down tremendously for the
time. While he was working with
a limp the relentless ble.ax'herites
jumped him and they made hie life
a curse. His goat departed and it
did not raturn even last spring. His
batting eye departed with the goat
and he became a poor performer.
Providence experts believe that Gil
lespie, with a good start and a
change of environment, may make
a corking good man.

HERRMANN KEEN
TDMAKEWAR
DN MURPH!
NEW YORK. Dec. 9.—A set of
nice. live-ounce boxing
gloves may come in quite
handy before the National league
baseball magnates conclude their
annual meeting tomorrow evening,
unless Garry Herrmann, owner of
the Cincinnati club, and Charles
Webb Murphy, president of the
Chicago Cubs, come to some amica
ble understanding about the Joe
Tinker deal.
Peace loving magnates of the old
league, who hoped for a harmonious
meeting, wore fearful today that
their hopes would not be realized,
following Herrmann's remarks to
day at his quarters at the Waldorf
that Murphy had so far given him
a raw deal in the Tinker matter,
and unless Murphy shifted tactics
at once and kept his promise to
grant Tinker to Cincinnati, so
Herrmann could make him man
ager for 1913, "something will hap
pen."
Fogel Scandal Again!
The “something” is taken to
mean that Herrmann will insist
that Murphj be put on the grill by
the league leaders for his connec
tion with the Fogel scandal, which
resulted in the banishment of the
latter as president of the Phillies.
The deposed leader of the St.
Louis Cardinals, Roger Bresnahan,
is making a claim for $40,000 for
money due him on his unfulfilled
contract. The belief among base
ball men is that the directors will
legalize Bresnahan’s claim, but the
league can not force Mrs. Britton to
pay.
Most of the magnates arrived
here before noon today and many
informal conferences were held, at
which trades and sales were dis
cussed. Many deals will be put
through before the conclusion of
the meeting.
Ad’s Wailing Foolish; Ritchie Must Fight Him
•*••**• •*•••«• •!•••!*
Naughton Says “Robbery” Cry Will Disgust Fans
By AV. AV. Naughton.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.. De 6. 9.
—ls Ad Wolgast is wise he will
regard recent events in as phil
osophical a spirit as possible. There
will surely come a time -and that
before very long, possibly—when
there will be a public demand for
another Ritchie-Wolgast match.
Not that Ritchie received any more
than bis due when Griffin proclaim
ed him world's champion, but be
cause there is plenty of room for
doubt as to how the Thanksgiving
day affair would have terminated if
Wolgast had not fouled his oppo
nent.
According to dispatches from Los
Angeles, Wolgast and his manager
are making the welkin ring with
complaints that they were robbed.
They are simply showing them
selves to be bad losers. They were
not robbed, and they know it. If
they keep up this kind of thing
they an liable to excite disgust in
fair-minded sportsmen who, at
present. ar<- willing to support Wol
gast’s claim for a return match.

Compete Today in Run
Over Peachtree Course
With weather conditions ideal, with a
better balanced field than usual and wdth
interest in the affair at 97 degrees Fahren
heit, the runners of the Atlanta Prep
league will get away this afternoon in
their annual road run. The start will be
made at 3:30 from the Brookwood bridge
and the course will extend a mile and a
half out the road and return.
As every school will have from six to
twenty starters it is probable that the
field will number more than 50.
Gilbert Cheves won this race last year
with George Manning tn the runner-up
position.
The schools which will be represented
are: Georgia Military academy, Boys
High school, Marlst college, Donald Fra

school.
W. S. Farnsworth will be referee. J. W.
Heisman will be starter, and Dick Jemi

JENNINGS FOR YANKS;
DONOVAN FOR TIGERS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. A sensational
deal will be pulled off at the American
league meeting in Chicago this week
which will send Hughey Jennings to the
New York club and bring Bill Donovan
back from Providence to manage the
Tigers. Owner Navin, of the Detroit
club, so the story goes, has consented to
let Jennings take charge of the New York
club, rvhere he would prove a great draw
ing card and incidentally stand a chance
of improving conditions. Just how much
foundation there is for this story Is hard
ot-say, though those who pretend to know
whereof they speak insist that the an
nouncement of the deal will be made dur
ing the coining meeting.
That such a move would meet with
favor of all the other clubs in the league
goes without saying. Jennings at the
head of the Highlanders would make a
wonderful difference in the team, and
with the chances of playing on the Polo
grounds every club in the league would
be benefited, for it would be the first time
since the American league has been rep
resented in New York that visiting clubs
could llgure on getting somewhere near
the money that the National league clubs
get there.

SIMM RIDERS
HURLED DURING
HOT SPURT
NEW YORK, Dec. 9. —A nasty
spill of four riders resulted
in injury to Marcel Bethel, of
tiie Franco-Italian team, in the six
day bike race at Madison Square
Garden today. Berthel sustained a
sprained knee in the mix-up, and
his place was taken by Broclo, his
teammate. The accident occurred
when Gordon Walker, of the New
Zealand team, who had been set
ting the pace, fell during a spurt.
Berthel, Fogler and Lloyd Thomas
were just behind Walker and were
all thrown.
Berthe] was able to resume rid
ing shortly before 1 o’clock, and
when he joined the race he started
at once on a spurt, setting the pace
for the rest.
The score at the thirteenth hour
was 297 miles, six laps for each
man. This was four miles ahead
of Collins and Drobach’s record
made two years ago.
Tiie first accident occurred when
the wheel of Maurice Brocico, a
member of the Franco-Italian team,
skidded and the rider was thrown
to the track. He was uninjured.
At 8 o’clock, the riders were three
miles and two laps ahead of the
record of 185 miles and five laps
made by Hehir and Goullet in 1910.
At 9 o’clock, the’ ninth hour, the
fifteen teams were still tied, hav
ing covered 211 miles and 6 laps.
This was exactly four miles ahead
of the old record of 207 miles and 6
laps, made by McFarland and
Clarke in 1910.
At 10 o’clock none of the teams
had been able to gain a lap and all
were tied at 235 miles and 8 laps.
This was six miles and four laps
better than the former record made
in 1910 by Wiley and Lawrence.
The teams in the race are:
Kramer and Moran, Clarke and
Hill. Grinda and Pye, Rutt and
Fogler, Root and Hehir, Ryan and
Thomas, Perichot and Egg, Suter
Brotheis. Bedell and Mitten. Wal
thour and Cameron, Drobach apd
Collins, Lawrence and Magin, Lof
tus and Carmon. Brocico and Ber
thel, Walker and Wells.
'pHE Australian mail Just to hand
brings some inside facts regard
ing the exclusion of Jack Johnson
from the land of the kangaroo. It
will be remembered that before the
“champion" became involved In
trouble through the girl. Lucile
Cameron, Hugh Mclntosh sent an
agent to this country to deal with
Johnson. The negro fighter wanted
Mclntosh to place $15,000 in the
hands of a Chicago business man,
and Mclntosh refused to do this,
preferring to let the money remain
in a Chicago bank. Moreover. Mc-
Intosh cabled that Johnson would
have to place an equal amount in
the bank referred to as a guaran
tee that he would fulfill his part of
the contract.
Johnson must have felt that the
clouds were gathering, for he told
Mclntosh’s agent he was willing to
waive the forfeit first demanded
from Mclntosh, and would depart
for Australia immediately if Mc-
Intosh would provide $5,000 travel
ing expenses. Johnson also offered
his two motor cars as security that
he would repair to Australia ajnl
fight the men selected by Mclntosh.
When this was cabled to Austra
lia, Mclntosh put on his consider
ing cap.
"It's a funny thing." he said,
"that Johnson, who claims to have
a whole lot of ready money, wants
to mu up automobiles as security.
It looks fishy.”

Rucker Third Best National
League Pitcher, According to
Heydler’sNewWay of Ranking
HERE are two sets of National league pitching records of hurl
ers who participated in fifteen or more games during the
season of 1912. Secretary John Heydler’s new system of
ranking the boxmen follows the list arranged according to the
percentage of games won and lost.
Mr. Heydler’s system will in time be adopted as the offittal
ranking, as it is so far ahead of the old way of figuring. Il gives
a pitcher his just deserts whether he is with a pennant winner
or a tail-ender. For instance, Rucker ranks • twenty-eighth by
the old method, while he is third according to Air. Heydler's m-w
system. And every baseball fan in the country knows that third
place is much nearer right than twenty-eighth for the Alpharet
ta boy.

•Games started and finished by pitcher.
In response to the demand for a rating
of pitchers other than that based on
games won and lost, the secretary of
the National league during the past sea
son had incorporated in all official
scores an additional record showing the
actual number of runs for W’hich each
pitcher was responsible—that is, runs
earned off the pitching solely. In com
puting such record, the pitcher was
charged with runs that resulted from
base hits, sacrifice hits, bases on balls,
hit batsmen, wild pitches and balks.
Runs scored as the result of fielding
errors, stolen bases and passed balls
were exempted, and no runs were charged
to a pitcher after chances had been offered
the fielders to retire the side.
For sake of comparison, the pitchers be
low are numbered according to new rat
ing, the second figure being the standing in
the won and lost table. While It seems
impossible to devise a set of records
that will show the relative value of
pitchers on winning and losing clubs, yet
