Filllllilll CLAIMS
NINE lililPlAlEllS
CHICAGO, Dec. 1-1.—l-‘oothall claim~
ed nine lives during the HHS Deflation“
three less than the 191? toll, nine less
than in 1916 and seven less the num-
ber in 1915, according to figures com-
piled by The Associated Press today.
Virtually all of the victims were
“free lance" players. not participating-
iu games conducted under college and
university physical direction. Some
of them had only limited knowledge or
the game. ~
“The figures will continue to de-
crease until fatalities in ‘America's
roughest outdoor game' have been on-
tircly eliminated." said A. .\. Stags,
the veteran football coach at the l'ni-
varsity of Chicago. "The greatest
menace to the. game is the lack of
proper training and proper physical
examination. While some of the larg—
er high schools now require physical
examination. in most of the smaller
cities. this is entirely ignored."
The dangers of a dozen years ago,
when the old style. smashing game in
cluding hurdling, how tackling and
vicious ott'onsive tactics. have nearly
been eliminated by the new style of
play, followers of the, game pointed
out.

HERRMANN AS CHAIRMAN
National League Prelident Says Re.
form Commission is Needed.
Despite the fact that the American
League at its annual meeting in (‘hl
coco on Thursday, tendered a vote of
confidence to August. Herrmann as
chairman of the National Commission
the National League is as firm as ever
that the Cincinnati club owner must
quit as the head of baseball.
Favor: New System.
"The National league is firmly con-
vinced ot the necessity of a new sys-
tem (h government for baseball. The
sentiment of the National league is in
favor of a neutral head of the National
Commission, a national figure who no
deratanda the game but has no finan-
cial interests in baseball. 1 might add
that the National league has a strong
preferance for a one man National
Commission.
Asked whether the National league
had instructed him to cast his vote
against the reelection of Hermann as
chairman of the National Commission
at the annual meeting of the commis-
sion on January 6. 1919. lleyd
ler replied in the negative. He said
the matter only had been discussed in-
formally at the league meeting. “But
that is the sentiment of the league.".”
