28 - SP Detroit May Have to Give ONLY ATHLETE AVAILABLE ORTS. IS MITCHELL OF YANKEES Pipp Will Lose Job at First Base Unless His Hitting§; Improves—Refusal of Traded Players to Accept Transfers Is Joke. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. in the major leagues that he way, but there is not a man N EW YORK, December 23.—Ty Cobb has notified his fellow m‘anagers wants a shortstop the worst kind of ager or owner in either league whao will hand him one. Empbhatically shaking his head and hammering his re- marks home by violent gesture, Ty made it known to Frank Navin of the Detroit club that either Detroit must have a shortstop or must suffer a shortage in the winning column in 1922. Navin looked blandly out at the world through his spectacles and said nothing. The Yankees probably would let Mitchell go under certain conditions, the principal of which is that the Yankees seem to believe that “ Mitchell is good enough to warrant an even trade for almost any ball player who happens to be in Amer- ican League company at the present writing. Veach is on the market at Detroit. There is little doubt about that, but Cobb imeasuring his trad- ing Ideas with those of the Califor- nians with whom he has been hob- nobbing. and Veach is held at about the value that Babe Ruth would have been two years ago. Meanwhile, Ty is observing that it is & yazoo of a league: that won't help a feller when he needs a friend. Managers always learn that before they have been long in the business. Col. Ruppert asserts that the Yan- kees may have something to say about Veach, but he doesn’t make it plain just how they will say it Pipp May Lose Job. The next move in the clearing house of the Yankees probably will hover around first base. Pipp will have to do more batting in 1922 if he expects to stick around the fireside. There are combinations which will make it possible for the Yankees to put a man at first base who may not be a hurrah fielder, but he will be steady and his batting will make up for some lack of agility. Kid Gleason has spoken in regard to Hooper and vouchsafes the infor- mation that Hooper is not to be had by any base ball club outside of that which is operated in Chicag.o IllL, under the personal ownership and the directorship of Charles A. Comis- key. So that's that. @ Attention is called to the fact that the Boston Red Sox now are prac- tically a New York American League club by transfer, as the New York Giants are more or less the Phillies by transfer. A furious attack has been made upon the Giants in Brook- 1yn, although not by the Brooklyn club owners, for making the national game one of barter and trade. Part of the campaign suggests that 1 the owners of base ball clubs can afford to pay $100,000 for players they can also afford to play their games for smaller admission fees. The announcements made by the American League players who have been involved in the recent trades, that they will not accept transfers, McInnis_of Boston, Smith of Cleve- land and Peckinpaugh of New York, &11 being quoted to that effect, brought a laugh to an old player in Jew York. Have No Alternative. “Of course, they will accept them.” he sald. “What are they going to do if-they don't? You heard a lot of talk about the draft when the owners were meeting here a while ago, and it was stated that it was only equitable to the player that the draft should be enforced, but you haven't heard a word about the ball player who once gets under control of a major league club. Until he has served ten years in the major leagues he is absolutely bound to that club, rain or shine. The players who have been traded either will play with the clubs to whigh they have been traded or they will Stay idle. That’s all there is to It. It is the rule of base ball. The only thing about it which gives the player a chance is the possibility that he may force the club to which he is traded to raise his salary a little: And I have known clubs that were mean enough to take all the raise back by fining the players.” (Copyright, 1921.) FRAZEE IS $¢CHAMPION WRECKER,” SAYS BIG BAN BOSTON, December 23.—*The cham- pion wrecker of the base ball age” is the characterization of Harry H. Frazee, president of the Boston Americans, at- tributed to Ban Johnson, president of the American League, by a local news- paper. 3 The quotation was printed in connec- tlon with a story on the recent trans- fers of Red Sox players to the New York and Cleveland clubs, with the statement that it was President John- son’s answer to a telegram asking him for his opinion of the deals. Atlanta Retains 1921 Camp. ATLANTA, December 23.—The At- lanta Southern Association team will train at Bay St. Louts, Miss, again next spring, starting March 15 “Socks” Seybold Is Killed.

Selecting the favorite in the coming swimming and water polo season of the Intercollegiate Swimming League 1s naot the most difficult matter in the world. The firm grip that Yale has hed on swimming championships and the same hold that Princeton has en- ed in water pold constitute a re- rkable chapter in these two sports. Since the beginning of the eastern intercolleglate swimming organiza- tion Yale’s doughty water men have won eleven of the twelve champion- ships. In 1911 Penn led the fleld in the league race, but the Elis have kept up their fast pace ever since. and their victory last March marked the tenth successive time that they have led their league rivals in the scram- ble for premier honors. This record reached a climax in the 1920-21 team, ‘which established three word. five intercollegiate and five tank records and equaled three intercollegiate marks. Following are some of the records: ‘World’s 200 and 250 yard relay and 76-foot plunge record. intercollegiate 200-yard, 160-yard, 800-foot relays: 75-foot plunge, 50-yard and 40-yard dashes. Princeton's achievements in water polo have been scarcely less notable. Yale won the league tussie in 1917- .. and Columbia turned the same triek in 1919.20, but these were only &aps in the long succession of Tiger triumphs. Until Yale carried off first . honers the jungle polo teams had scored six straight successes, and they are still going strong, as wit- ness last _season’'s league -victory. Frapk J. Sullivan, coach of the Tiger water team, has been responsi- ble for this excellent showing.. — g Percy Wendell, former ‘beckfleld star, been re-engaged as ocosch of the Willlams College eleven for megt scason. i“WILD BILL” DONOVAN TO PILOT NEW HAVEN NEW HAVEN, Conn., December 23. —"“Wild Bill" Donovan has succeeded Chief Bender as manager and captain of the New Haven Eastern-League base ball team: Donovan practically began his professional career in Connectiout League, pitching for Waterbury in 1897, just before begin- ning his major league service, which included terms in Washington, Brook- Ifn and Detroit as pitcher, and with the Yankees, Detroits and Philadel- phia Nationals as manager. WIFE'S TRIP INCLUDED IN ATHLETE'S EXPENSES CHICAGO, December 28.—The in- vestigation of charges of profession- alism against several noted middle- west athletes, directed by the Na- tional A. A. U. officials, has disclosed that in at least one case the alleged excessive expense accounts of ama- teur athletes included the cost of bringing an athlete’'s wife along. The Central A. A. U,, which was or- dered to search the records of Jole Ray, Jo and Frank Loomis and others, forwarded its report today, citing the case of Ray in particular. When invited to a big eastern meet Ray let it be known that he wished to take his wife and that the maximum allowance of $7 a day permitted am- ateur athletes would be insufficient for both. The club promptly allowed additional expenses for Ray's wife and from this incident, chiefly, the charges arose. Central A. A. U. officials are watch- ing with keen and amused interest the aotion which may be taken by the na- tional body in the situation they have presented. —— MORVICH WINS $116,084 INTAKING ALL 11 RACES Morvich, Benjamin Block's unbeaten colt, which removed any vague re- maining doubt of his right to the two- vear-old crown by capturing the Pim- lico Futurity, boosted his earnings for the campaign to the sum of $116,- 584 thereby, an amount excelled only twice in American history by a racer of his age. Domine won $170,890 and Colin $131,007 in_two-year-old competition, but each of these famous horses had the advantage of capturing the rich Futurity, to which Morvich was not eligible. The brown son of Runnymede won eleven races, a list of which, with his winnings in each, follows: Suffolk selling stakes. . $3,950 Greenfield selling stakes. ,62 Overnight race at Jamaica... 1,265 Overnight race at Aqueduct.. 96!

QUINT LOSES THIRD CONTEST IN ROW Catholic University's basket ball team ended its- northern tour last night, when it lost to the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute team in a 27 to 13 engagement. It was the third consecutive defeat for the Brook- landers. The first half of the game was well contested, the Brooklyn team being held to an 11 to 10 score. In the next period, however, the Maroon and Black was outclassed. Eberts played a good game for Catholic University, his passing be- ing a feature. Ratner was best of the victors.

T isn’t worth while to say that any batting record which has been made in the American League by the New York base ball club is the last thing, because Babe Ruth is such a potent factor with his fagot ot ash that he is likely to upset any old predictions until the muscles in his 1 back become flabby. In 1920 Ruth got fifty-nine of them and Meusel was second, with_twenty-four. The old home-run king, Frank Baker, trailed along with nine and was third in the club. Peckinpaugh and Pipp each had eight, and the remainder were scattered among the other players of the team. Quinn made his annual home run. He sticks out his bat once each year and lets the ball hit it and on the_ rebound the ball falls into the grandstand. Mays bat- ted two home runs which is a large average for a strictly pitching pitcher. Tiger Pitchers Suffer. Twenty- six home runs were made against the Detroit pitchers. They were the casiest of all for the Yankee batters. Philadelphia was picked on early and picked at late, and there were twenty-two against the Ath- letics' pitchers. Against Cleveland there were nineteen, which is more than most players can make in two seventeen each, and against Wash- ington fifteen. One of the things that the Yankees did during the summer was to bat ten home runs agalnst Detroit in four days. On that run of homers Ruth hit two Detroit pitchers for two homers each in one day. In three days they bgtted seven home runs against Chicago's pitchers. ' In two days they batted six against Philadel- phia, and in four days six against Boston. That was one peculiarity of their hitting all of the year. They got keyed up to pitch and then they sailed into some unfortunate lot for all they were worth and took out their spleen against them. In two days they batted five home runs against Cleveland and flve in the same time against St. Louis. In three days they batted five against Detroit and five against Washington. Another five mark was made against Cleveland, when they hit the pitchers of the Tribe for a quintet in four ays. Hit Five in Ome Day. ‘The best single day they had during By Popular " Demand =4 SUITS The Suits-- Blue Serges (good weight). Pencil Stripes. the New York Americans batted 11 marveled. This, said some, never would be seen again in our day. But it has been seen and raised. In 1921 their total was 133. The round-up has just been completed with some special facts as to what the Yankees did. while they were making their 133 homers. f years; against Boston and St. Louis |hi S home runs and the fans the year was at the expense of ’hil- adelphia, They celebrated July 4. by hitting the Philadelphia pitchers for five home runs, and each time that one went off it made more noise than a dvnamite firecracker. Twice they cracked out four home runs in four days againstyDetroit. They never gave the Detroit Ditchers any rest all of the season. Against the St. Louis pitchers the were successful in making four hom runs twice in four days each. The Cleveland pitchers were hit for four home runs_in four days once and so were the Philadelphia_pitchers, The latter also were tuned home runs in three days. Never has there been any batting like it before. It will not do to say there never will be any like it again, because the New York club isn't that kind of a team. It may run the total up to 150 some year, as long as it has Ruth to get behind like a circus ele- phant and help push the truck up the Wrestling Bout to Turner. Joe Turner defeated Demon Ellis in a wrestling bout at the Canllol!l_. Theater last night. Turner won the first fall in twenty minutes, but lost the second in the same length of time. He took the third after a half hour’s hard work. Zbyszko Throws Hindu. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., December 23.— Stanislaug Zbyszko, world’ heavy-| welght wrestling champion, threw Goho-Gobar, Hindu grappler, twice here last night, winning both falls easily. Tiger Nine Coming.

NEW YORK, December 23.—"“Did you ever see a time when the country had such a lot of retiring champions? Leo Flynn, matchmaker for Tex Rickard, threw up his hands at th: Madison Square Garden today and frowned dismally.

He has just been lured into an agreement to meet Harry Greb. Welterweight champion—Jack Brit- ton will not talk business when it comes to real contenders on decision basis. Lightweight champion—Benny Leon- ard. He shows a disposition to refuse to meet good opponentu, at the class mit.

Bantamweight champion — Johnny Buff, who is said to be showing a dis- inclination for decision bouts against live contenders. Flyweight champion—Johnny Buff. No real contenders in this class. Tex Rickard reports a growing tend- ency among champions to make matches with good men only on the basis of an agreement there shall be no knock-outs. A good story is told of the efficient methods of Director of Public Safety Cortelyou in Philadel- phia. There was to be an alleged fight in that city and Mr. Cortelyou evidently heard something.

The Roamers are composed mainly of for- mer Eastern High School bovs, while th: Emanons have been developed in the gymnasium of Petworth M. E. Church. Tonight's game will get |under way at § o'clock. Navy Yard Marines vanquished the i Seaman_Gunners,- 28 to 13, last night at the Naval Reserve armory. Voll- mer and Coughenor starred for the winners. Burns was best of the Sea- man Gunners.

T, Second on the list of local slah- men was Walter Johnson, who yield ed an_average of 3.51 runs a game! Olaf Erickson being third, with « mark of 3.77, and Zachary fourth, with 3.96. Mays' Percentage Best. In the matter of games won and lost Mays was the leader, with twenty- seven and nine, for a percentage of 1.750. Urban Shocker, the moist ball manipulator of the Browns, annexed as many victories, but dropped twelve games, for a percentage of .692. Stan- ley Coveleskie of the Indians, still another damp flinger, was third, with .639, and Faber fourth, with .625. Mogridge topped the Griffithian cast in percentage of games won, with a imark of 563 for eighteen victories {and fourteen defeats, and Johnson second, with the same number of reverses and one less triumph. The jonly other Washington “regular” to show a balance on the right side of the ledger was Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary, with figures of .529 from teighteen wins and sixteen losses. Johnson Struck Oumt 143. In only one department of heaving did the Nationals produce a leader, Johnson maintaining his reputation as the strike-out king by whiffing 143 batsmen, 11 more in 264 innings than Shocker, his nearest rival, Yanned in 327 rounds. Incidentally Walter es- tablished an all-time record for strike-outs, with 2,829. The former I mark, held by Cy Young. was 2.790. Despite the fact that the “better matérial”? used in the balls gave the batters a distinct edge on the box- men, reducing_the number of shut- outs and few-hit games, there were some feature pitching feats during the year. Shocker furnished one by winning nine consecutive games in midseason and Dixie Davis. also of the Browns, contributed a nineteen- inning game right here at the Geor- gia avenue park., which he won, al- lowing only one man to reach first base in the last nine rounds.
