Quint Defeated, 25-20 SURE TO ASK SEVERAL 7PLAYERS FOR JACOBSON St.,.rLouis.Business Manager Expected to Demand 'Pitcher, Gardener and Two Infielders in Deal That Might Bring Baker Here. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. I the eventual acquisition of J. Franklin Baker by the Nationals is “Ucontingent upon a three-cornered deal whereby Outfielder Bill ““Jacobson passes from the St. Louis to the New York club, as has been indftated, it is a moral certainty the swap will have to net the Browns mofe than has yet been outlined in conjectures regarding the proposed exthange. Although Phil De Catesby Ball, owner of the Mound City enterprise, takes an active interest in the direction of its polieies and Leg, Fohl, the newly appointed manager, has some well-defined ideas of his own regardmg ‘the worth of ball players, gamed from several years’ experience as pilot of the Cleveland- Indians, it is Business Manager Bob Quinn who holds the veto power in all matters concerning the Browns on and off the field. This Quinn person is a very able citizen, a keen student of base ball and: s well versed in playing lore as in its political aspects. He is a true Missourian and will have to be shown more than anything yet suggested to enable the Yankees to pry so capable a performer as Jacobson from the St. Touis roster. if, indeed, he will even consider letting Jake go. Rumor Foundry Dope. As framed by the obliging members of the rumor foundry, the Browns are to. get Ping Bodie. a pudgy veteran whome chief claim to fame is his abil- ity to cover more ground than any outfielder in base ball—sitting down— “somebody clse” and a wad of cash.: Quinn_will get a hearty laugh out of this_ if it ever is brought to his at-! tention. H As they stand now the Browns are a W!Pntlal pennant contender and one of the prime reasons, aside from the resence of George Sisler. batting haW¥ipion of the majors, is their quar- lel ‘of outfielders—Jacobson. Wiilams and Smith—all .300 hitters andtopped by the former with a mark . The Browns are satisfied, and jumhl) so, with their gardening Contingent as at present constituted, and will have to be offered consider- ablgzmore in the way of talent than Bodie. who finished fifty points under Jacabson in sticking. to consent to part with the gigantic “Baby Doll” whags superior to Pingorious in every other attribute save one—color. Cash will not influence the Browns. . Ball has oodles of it. and is not de- pnt upon base ball for his large income. although the club made money last year. What the Browns Need. “S#at the Browns need is a first- clasg.pitcher and two capable infleld- ersi4e replace Joe Gedeon, dropped as a wamult of his connection with the T"hige Sox scandal, and to plug the #: wat third caused by the ageing of eveswpeppery Jimmy Austin.

EW YORK, January 29.—With the heavyweight champion, due in this city from San Francisco tomorrow, with Ray Archer, who manages Jess Willard’s busi- nesg. affairs, already here, Tex Rickard on Monday will make a final Sisler Hits in Any Park, But in St. Louis, Oh My! ..Some interesting fizures on the batting of rxe Sisler, the American League's 1920 swat champion, are found by delving into the records. The “dope” whows that the Browns’ ace hit over 100 points better in the clashes on home soil than abrond. The figures were .461 at home and 48 abroad. Sisler made 153 hits In 332 nttempts in the St. Louls park and 104 in '—‘M‘ll trips to the piate on foreign nol uring the campaign, Sisler ‘made four hits in a single game on ten occasions and six times he nerformed the feat away from home. The first sacker hitless fifteen times while » on the oppoments’ fields and tem times at Sportsman’s Park. believed he would let go of Picinich, Ellerbe and. possibly, a pitcher. Pici- nich probably would measure up to Hugging' specifications as an under- study for Wally Schang and Ellerbe might be- acceptable to the Browns for the third-basing assignment, but it is doubtful whether Griff would part with a hurler of the caliber that would be Gemanded by St. Louie to be sent there by the Yanks along with Ellerbe and Bodie. Yanks Have Few Infielders. If Huggins could satisfy the desires of the Browns by transferring a hurl- er from his own staff he still prob- ably would be up against the proposi- tion of providing a capable second- sacker. At present the make-up of the Yankees' infleld is a matter of conjecture, with only Wilson Fewster .and Mike McNally available for trad- ing purposes in the event that Johnny Mitchell, the high-priced Coast League recruit, makes the e for the infleld along with Aaron Ward, Roger Peckinpaugh and Wally Pipp. ‘The difficulties of engineering a deal of the type outlined are many and formidable with a man of Bob Quinn’s business acument to be dealt with. Miller Huggins appears confl- dent he can put it through, however. If he does and it brings Frank Baker to the Nationals Washington . fans Jack Kearns, manager of Dempsey, efl&h‘to cinch the proposed March 17 bout between the two big fellows. = Throughout the cofintry there has been the belief that the bout was on, that forfeits had been posted and that practically all detdils, except the purse and the division thereof, had been arranged between the pro- n and the two principals. o 5 upon seats might seriously ai obu.cl: hurdled, the understandmg Now, as a m.nter of ‘fact, nothing has been arfanged about this bout. and from the present outlook the okstacles which the famous New York promoter jg likely to.encounter on Monday would make a barricaded street in the heart of a strike dis- triet, look like a bowling alley. First , there is the seat price limit. Rickard could *not, under the new price limit rule, give Dempsey a purse of satisfaetory obesity and get away _without a heavy loss. Big Purse Out of Question. Dempsey was first approached to this bout, there was no suchi‘rule; the towering skyscrapers of Manhattan would have stood about as high as obe shacks in compari- mon to the skyward limits of the purse that Rickard could have offered. {Maybe he did whisper a tentative | sum.* He must have, judging from jthe way Dempsey jumped at the chances—verbally—to get into the ring with Big Jess. As for Willard, it was up to him to accept a fight on any terms he could-get, and he is still willing to do this. But it takes two to make a harzain, and now that a big purse is ecoromically out of the question, whi: is Jack Kearns going to say at Monday's meeting in Tex Rickard's office” The writer Fzppen: to know what { Rickard's t question to Kearns will be: Will Jack Dempsey meat Jess Willard on the basis of a percentage of the receipts? Now Kearns needs . some ready : those who are close to him’ know this. But does he need it s0 badly that he can be prevailed upor: only to share with Rickard in taking a financial chance on the scrap, but to risk a beating for his champion and the consequent loss of the real money affair with Carpentier, set for next July? A lot of clear- “headed sporting men are not so cer- itain as to this. Rickard Plans to Appeal. , . Well, assuming Kearns holds out, what {then? "It will be u Rickard in such case to g0 to the boxing commission and put the matter up to this body. He has t0id the writer that he will do this if the percentage suggestion falls through, To date, he has not been near any of the boxing commissioners to discuss the subject, and says he has no idea what their réaction would be to his plea that in pure justice the price limit rule should It was known, of course, that the actwn New York state boxing commission in placing 2 maximum price was that the track would be clear.

At a recent meeting of the College Track Association, composed, of coaches at forty of the largest universities in the country, it was recommended that colleges giving interscholastic track meets permit no high school boy to compéte m more than two running events. It was recommended at the same time that the two-mile race be eliminatéd. It was said that one great fault with the high schools was that certain boys, especially those who show outstanding athletic ability, were permitted to com- pete in three or four events in track or field meets, or & swimming camnival.

KELLER. ROSSED by its own strategy, Catholic University’s basket ball team for the second time this season met defeat on its home floor last night. The Brooklanders’ short passing game be- wildered Fordham in the first half of the encounter and at recess time the locals were leading, 11 to 8. In the second period Fordham turned the tables. Employing the same style of attack that had proved so successful for the home five, the New Yorkers kept the play under the Catholic U basket the greater part of the half and amancd points enough to emerge i from the contest winners by a score of 25 to 20. “Red” Gleason Is Elected | The opening half was tuck affair, with the short-passing their a nip-and- irooklanders Captain of Brooklanders | ‘Without a leader and facing one of its Catholic Manager Leasure motified them to name a leader.

OR years men of America have led the world at rifle shooting, but if they would retain this supremacy, they had best look to their In this age of exalted and exultant feminism, nothing seems beyond the fair sex, and, having invaded the shooting realm, marks- women soon may be competing on even terms with the more sturdy marksmen. girls here, and four of the city’s five public institutions of learning have representative teams. ‘Western was the first of the high schools to attempt anything in the ‘way of rifle practice for its girl stu- dents. The Georgetown school or- ganized a team several' years ago and many ‘of the girls became quite proficient at target shooting. Busi- ness students then became interested and this year Eastern and Central took up the sport. Tech has no girls’ rifle squad. Central and Eastern Active. At present Central and Fastern are more active than the other schools in promoting the sport, but those in charge of the teams are I.’nnlpg a series of interschool competitions that will bring all of the fair gun- ners into action. Already recognized as a major sport for girls, rifle shoot- ing before long probably will earn school letters for the members of the representative teams. The girls at Central and Eastern are guite enthusiastic over the sport. More than 150 girls are in the squad at the Mount Pleasant school, While at Eastern practically all of the fe- male students are associated Wwith the team. The Centralites are de- voting more time to®the sport than the Basterpers, for the former drill ten times a month, while the Capitol Hill folk get only one practice each week. The first of a series of informal matches between Central and East- ern now is under way. The Eastern team visited Central's armory last Wednesday and was -nosed out by the host squad in the opening rounds of the competition. The match will be concluded tomorrow afternoon, Wwhen the best shots of each of the teams will take the range. Stokes Is Coaching Ceptral. Central's team is being coached by Walter Stokes, who has captained the rifle squads at the Mount Pleas- ant School and enjoys a mnetional reputation as a marksman. ~Miss Louise G.

He caged seven of fourteen Lhrows, and six of his misses were in the first eight attempts. Fallon, a speedy forward, proved a thorn in the side of the Catholic Uni- versity team in the second period. His specialty was gettmg under the bas- Kket, after eluding all the Brookland- ers, and receiving long passes for easy goal tosses. Capt. Culloton and Kelley, who played roving guards, wore down the Brookland throwers in the second basketers con- tributed little play of note. The free tossing of Eddie Lynch, who pocketed eight of his twelve throws, helped some in the brief rajly staged near the close of the game. Fosce did well a8 a guard early in the contest, jbut he was utterly unable to cope | with the Fordhamites after intermis- sion. Dunn did some good work while in the fray, but he was banished by the personal foul route shortly after the second period started.

He immediately caged |2 goal from scrimmage, but from then to the finish was well covered.

It was Fordham all the way in the second half. After Lynch and Gordon had missed free throws, Fallon scored from scrimmage and Gordon made the count 11-ail, with a penalty toss. Not content with the tie, Gordon shot & floor basket that put Fordham in the lead for the first time during the game.
