MORGAN LES ON FINNEGAN - AS OPPONENT By FAIR PLAY, (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—Fans are interested in the report that Tod Morgan, the new junior lightweight champion, will) meet Honeyboy Finnegan in his home town, Boston. Say about him what one will, the fact remains that Finnegan packs a hefty wallop and that Morgan is not picking what might be called a set-up for his initial venture in a new section. The trouble with Finnegan fs that he is easily knocked off his feet and once bowled over he can not rush in with the ferocity calculated to offset contact with the canvas, For some time it looks as though this Boston lad was going to be one of the big bets of the year. He sprang into newspaper fame when he got a decision from the news- papers over Dundee In Washington. Thenoeforward, he found {t hard to get That is always the way.

CARDS’ HOPES SOARING AGAIN Reinhart ” Expected to Add Strength to St. Louis Club. By JOHN B. FOSTER. (Copyright, 19: Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, Dee, 28,—If in Rein- hart, the Louis Cardinals have the new Ford Schupp of the Na- tional league, then the team will be one of the contenders in the pen- nant race next season. é Reinhart not only was the most promising pitcher in the National league last season, but his record shows it in figures. That is more than can always be sald. A pitcber may be very promising, but when ft comes to the percentages at the ond of the season, things will: look a horse of another color, Reinhart was taken out of the Syracuse club last year, He got into about a score of games, won nearly 700 per cent of them and turned up an unofficial earned run uverage of about three, Of course, that. can net compare with the record Schupp made with the Glants but in many ways this Reinhart is a replica of Schupp in style, sudden development and future possibility There is a lot of strength in that St. Louls team that either has not been brought out or has been scat- tered ike grass seed being sown in the face of a Kansas gale. —————— GONZAGA STAR IS SENT HOME SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 28.—(/) —Paul Yynch, quarterback and cap- tain of Gonzaga university football team for 1926, was suspended and sent back home from Rosebury, Ore., several days aco while on the way to play at Los Angeles yesterday, ac- cording to word received here. violated training rules,” Graduate Mana Leon Boyle declared in a telegram: Lyneh, whose home ts in Great Falls, Mont., has not reported yet in Spokane.

In view of the fact that he led the Pittsburg Pirates to the Nat- jonal league pennant and then to the world’s baseball championship in the series Bill McKechnie, man- ager of the Pittsburg team, must rank as the outstanding figure in baseball for the year 1925, This thought is @xpressed in the full knowledge that the various play- ers of the team and MeKechn! aides played thelr parts, however great or small, The fact remains, however, that McKechnie was the leader—and as cuct embodies the power that drove tuem to the pen- nants. Having disposed of McKechnie, one must naturally give Rogers Hornsby the credit due him. From a playing standpoint Hornsby was the outstanding star of the big show. He led the National league in hat- ting for the sixth consecufive year. He hit .403, reaching the .400 mark for the third time and joining Jess Burkett and Ty Cobb, the only other men to perform such a batting feat. He led the big leagues in home runs. His all-around value to a base- ball team was youched for by the act of National league sport writ- ers in voting him the most valuable player to his team in that clreult at least. : While Hornsby was monopolizing the batting stage in the National, Harry Heilmann was playing the lend in the American, winning the league championship. Bob Meutel, however, added a bit to the act by winning the home run honors, Poor Old Covey! Stanley Coveleskie, aged spitball artist discarded by Cleveland, led the pitchers in the American league, on the percentage won basis, with the vemarkable average of .800. He won 20 games and lost but five, Bill Sher- del, slow-ball pitcher of the Cardi- nals, led the National cireuit with a percentage of .727. Max Carey, old enough to know better, won the bare stealing honors in, the National league—an honor quite ordinary for him, “He hooked 44 bases, Johnny Mostil, modest cen- ter fielder of the White Sox, came within one steal of Max's mark. In addition to the bald faced rec- ords the baseball season produced several events, happenings and accl- dents which made it a notable one. The Pirates, to win the world's series, had to take three straight games after the series stood three to one in favor of the Senators. An in- possible task it seemed. Few really believed the Pirates could turn the trick. But numbered among these few was Bill McKechnie and his players. The will was there and they won, The final game of the series was one of the weirdest ever produced in the fall classic. Commissioner Lan- dis took ecmplete charge of the oc- casion and permitted the game to be played in field conditions that pre- vented sane baseball. Sawdust was rushed to the pitcher's box at inter- vals to give the hurlers a firmer footing. Walter Johnson, hero of the 1924 series, went down to a glorious but tragic defeat in that game, Connie Mack watched a $100,600 investment in Lefty Groves, south- paw, pitcher, play through the sea- son without returning a nickel on the investment, The Chicago Cubs, despite the blz money spent by Owen Wrigley, be- came such a mess that Killefer, Mar- anyille and then George Gibson Look turns at managing it. Ruth Out of Luck, The collapse of Babe Ruth {s still fresh in the minds of most fans. His serious, illness, consequent flirtation with death, operation and premature return to the game prevented him from drawing the spotlight. Christy Mathewson's death took from baseball and the general life of the nation the most beloved man ever to draw the attention of the __ fhe Casper Daily Critune 1925 BASEBALL REVIEW, | Finds McKechnie on Top; Hornsby Greatest Player AND Pavan : » 0 WORLD’S SERIES The big league moguls wound up the baseball for the year this month by deciding to cut the season of 1926 one week to eliminate, if pos- / the Official Comple!/ f } _ sroowocoumeng 3: 28 ee Rr 3] 9g a } who HE TRIBUNE’S SPORT NEWS A STRANGER IN WHITE “This is only @ story, children, so you may believe just as much as you like,” said Mother Grow! “but one fine day, so I’ve been told, a strange thing happened to those two Bears who went North to seck their fortunes.’” “What?” demanded her two little Cubs, as Mothet Growly paused for breath, and Peter the boy who had been Istening as attentively to Mo- ther Growly’s tale as had her Cubs noticed that even Father Grow! had been pretending all this time that he had much more import- ant buginess on hand than paying attention to his wife's story, had turned his head and was straining his ears to catch every wor! that Mother Growly sid. a ome suisaaat scomonanoantzune: = sees: ae Jzvereoconsomocesascsy “Ne 322832 ee sible, some of the inclement weather from the closing days and the world’s series and to put baseball in moth- balls be football demands the greater attention EUROPE S BEST BOXERS GIVEN CHANCE IN U0.

He found, upon irritated investigation, that a, report- er, alive to the news value of any- thing concerning the wealthiest man in town, had based his story upon the order for engraved invitations placed through the newspaper's com- mercial printing department, which was the local representative of a Chicago engraving firm. Laurel, when telephone by the reporter and asked to verify the story, had Inno- cently supplied him with such de- tails as Noble had sketchily gone over with her. Noble was vastly annoyed about it when he came home to dinner. “Damn! It's all over town, and it'll be weeks before we can even send out the invitations. What will peo- ple think?" “Oh, everybody is sure to talk to every one else about it, and when they learn that no one else has re- ceived an Invitation, they'll breathe easier, “I'm sorry about !t dear,” Laure! went on, feeling very badly about It. “I didn't think what I was doing when the reporter phoned. I thought, of course, that you had let the an- nouncement get out.’ “Oh, there was nothing olse you could do but tell him, I suppose. I wish these damned reporters would keep thelr noses out of inings.’' “Please, honey, dear, don't be an- gry and fussed. There's nothing to do now but make the best of it.” “The damned reporter got every- thing wrong,” Noble growled. “Let me seo what he sald," she took the paper from him and skim med over the story on page one. She looked up frowning. The de- tails were substantially the same as those she had given the inquirer.

Not every one could be sure they would be {nvited to Noble Har- wood's affairs. “But, honey, not ‘Louls xIv?'” Laurel was irritated because he was making the plans and then tell ing her about them. “Well, everybody would wear same thing—I mean all the c tumes would be the same style.
