TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1922 Peckinpaugh Deal May Come to a Head Today : Intercollegiate Association May Expand GRIFFITH IS CONFERRING WITH MACK AND SHIBE Confab of Local Boss With Athletic Chieftains Ex- pected to Result in Acquisition of Dugan as Bait for Ex-Yankee Shortstop. Y BY DENMAN THON.”SO! \ODAY'’S the day. Before sunset this evening the all-important ques- T tion to Washington fandom of whether Roger Peckinpaugh will play for the Griffmen this season should be settled. Somewhere in this city of magnificent distances today John Shibe, owner of the Phil- adelphia American League ball club, and Connie Mack, his manager, are in conference with Clark Griffith, president of the Nationals, and, as a re- sult of their deliberations, it is confidently expected an agreement will be reached whereby Third Baseman Joe Dugan of .the Athletics will be assigned to the locals, to be subsequently shifted Bostonward for the shortstop and captain of last season’s champion Yankees. Much secrecy shrouded the move- ments of the' magnates, who evidently wished to assure themselves seclusion from the prying eyes and sharp ears of the news hounds. It is known that Shibe was due late last might from Philadelphia; that Mack got in from Atlanta about the time Uncle Samr's civilian army was taking its first stretch, and that Griff departed with- out waiting to break his fast and leaped into a taxi that carried him in a southerly direction from his Mount Pleasant abode. When Griff passes up the morning meal something worth while beckons. He likes his. wheat cakes and hone Boston End Is Settled. So far as can be ascertained. Presi- @&mnt Frazee of the Boston club is not concerned about teday’s pow-wow. It is believed he has already come to an underétanding with Griff regarding the considerations to wean Peck from the Hub. What these include, in ad- dition to Dugan, remain problematical, as do the identities of the performers Washington must give up to land the bait for Peck from Philadelphia. A yarn emanating today from the Dover Hall Club down in Georgia, here a number of the big league moguls sojourn in the off season. has it that the big Washington-Philadel- phia-Boston swap will result in the Yankees eventually obtaining Sam Rice, the dope being that Peck will come here and Rice be shifted tem- porarily to Boston, from where he will drift to New York for Johnny Mitchell and Wally Pipp, who, in turn, will later be turned over to the Athletics for Joe Dugan. This is a yarn and nothing more, however. Griff repeatedly has stated that none of his stars will figure in a trade and he must be taken at his word, but pending official announce- ment of the athletes involved in case the negotiations graduate ‘from the dicker stage, there exists a well de- fined hunch that the Natiomals will have to give up some mighty valuable playing material to land Peck. Fear Miller May Go. The reference is to Bing Miller. This swarthy slugger, although mot ranked with the best outfielders in the game, has already demonstrated considerable class and is a youngster who is fm- proving. His vaiue to the Nationals is enhanced by the fact that he is the only orthodox hitter in a squad of gardeners composed otherwise en- tirely of lefi-hand batsmen. Rice, Mi- lan, Smith and Goslin_all are port- side stickers and so is Mike Menosky, whom some guessers insist is billed for a return engagement here. Mack has only Witt, Walker and Welch of known sorely in need of a slugger of Mil- ler's propensitie g Tn the event Griff has to relinquish Miller in addition to other less val- uable talent he will havesonly. Rice and_Milan of proved worth, with a semi-failure in Smith, if Earl is not included in the trade, and a question mark in Goslin. This youngster looks to be the real goods and may make thé grade right from the outset, but the percentage of kids who come through in their first year up is woe- fully small. “Goose” is nothing more than an experiment right now. But maybe Peck can be obtained without giving up Miller. We may all know in a few hours. Here's hoping. BRENTWOOD IS STRONG SUPPORTER OF SPORTS It is doubtful if there are many towns of similar size that so en- thusiastically support athletics and turn out such clever teams regularly as Brentwood, Md. For the last ‘several seasons the Brentwood base ball team has been among the strongest hereabouts. Out of some thirty games played only two or three were lost. In foot ball, too, Brentwood had a good team, but base ball is the town's big game. Brentwood has an athletic field on the Washington-Baltimore boulevard near the District line, which is now one of the best in this vicinity. In addition to the senior base ball and foot ball teams, Brentwood and its neighboring town, Mount Rainler, boast several fast “kid” teams. ble among these is the Mount Rainier Yankees’ nine, which for the last few seasons has pointed the way to many of the best juvenile clubs in and about ‘Washington. BREEN HEADS CARDINAIS. Sylvester A. Breen has been elected president of Cardinal Athletic Club of Alexandria, one of the oldest sand- lot base ball organizations of this section. Joseph E. Owens Is secre- tary and treasurer. The Cardinals are planning for a big season. Yanks Release Christensen. NEW YORK, January 10—Walter Christensen, an outflelder, who joined the New York Americans last season, has been released to St. Paul.

One_fall, during a Minnesota-Chi- cago foot ball game at Stagg Fleld, the authorities sent up a couple of subs to help the scribes get the names of the players correct. Among them was a husky Gopher sub, clad in his foot ball togs, and all eyes for the game in front of him.

NINE COLLEGE PARK, Md., January 10. —TUniversity of Maryland's base ball team will make the most pretent trip this spring that it has ever taken. ‘The nine w 1 go on a jaunt through the middle west for tweive games, be- ginning with a_clash with West Vir- zinia on May 15 and ending with a game with Western Reserve at Cleve- land on the 27th.

U. OF M. AND HOPKINS MAY YET MAKE PEAGE BALTIMORE, Md, January 10— Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland have not reached the end of their rope in the efforts to patch up their athletic differences, as has been reported. Ip fact, it looks as if a logical soiution at least has been reached, for the matter is now in the hands of the presidents of the two institutions for settlemeht, and. an amicable adjustment is expected in the near future. Such is the an- nouncement of President Goodnow of Hopkins. Following the rejection of the Hop- kins proposal yestexday that both coaches be eliminated from the com- mittee appointed to settle‘the differ- ences. it looked as If & breach was unavoidable. With each of the arbitrating bodles convinced that the other was wrong and both alumni determined not to give in, it was obvious that under such a scheme no decision could ever be reached. With the decision of the two presidents to take hold of mat- ters, though, the situation seems practically sure of settlement. So far as the coaches are concerned they are certainly both in accord.

Byrd s equaily anxious to see the “two schools back in their old position of friendly rivalry, e EXENDINE AGAIN COACH OF HILLTOP GRIDMEN Albert FKxendine, Carlisle's all- American end, again will coach the foot ball squad at Georgetown Uni. versity.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., January 10.—The Brooks memorial medal, awarded annually to the most deserv- ing member of the Williams College foot ball team, has been glven this year to Capt. Edward A. Fargo of Evanston, 1ll. The memorial was es- tablished in memory of the late Belvi- dere Brooks, captain of the 1909 eleven, who was killed in the world war. REDS WOULD PAY $50,000 FOR BENTLEY, IT IS SAID BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, January 10—Rumors were revived here today to the N effect that the Cincinnati club_was angling for Jack Bentley, champion batter of the International League, and that Garry Herrmann was ready to renew his offer of $50,000 for the Baltimore star. Two years ago it was reported in National League circles that Cincin- nati_had made a flat offer of some sum in the neighborhood of $60,000 for Baltimore players. This offer was to include Ogden and Jacobson. Owner Dunn of the Baltimore club announced that it did not even tempt him. Several managers have scoffed at Bentley's ability to hold his own if ‘he should get into major league com- pany. One of them, who is very prominent as a wirning manager, says Bentley is too slow and that he hps reached the zenith of his career. Line on His Ability. The best measure of Bentley's ability and resourcefulness can be had by comparing him with Mueller, who was placed in Syracuse in 1921 by the St Louis Nationals, which own part of the Salt city club. Muellér played in seventy-five games in the International League with a batting average of 362 against Bent- ley's 412 In 141 games. Deduct about five points for natural wear and tear if Mueller had been able to play 141 games and some line can be had on Bentley. Or go farther down the list and look at Dick Hoblitzell's average of 351 in 126 games and an estimate can be formed in another way. Hoblitzell is the dld Cincinnatti first basemen. Mueller is one of the coming out- flelders of the National Léague, in the opinion of@nany. He hits well, is fast, throws well and fields fairly well and with the company which he will have in St. Louis this year is expected to make the outfleld for the Cards better than that of New York Nationals, which s not a bit) improbable. St. Louis has not been outfleld strong for some time: Three weeks ago when Dunn was present at the major league meetings in New York, it was continually rumored that he would dispose of his players, but He did not do so. If he retains Bentley'to play for him in 1922, it is not probable that he will be able to dispose of his services in 1923 for anything like the sum that has been offered. Bentley is said to have announced 1 that he wants to get away from [gtely all of the season 8o that he can |Par. Baltimore. He thinks that he should BIG TRIO OF U. S. GOLF T0 ENTER BRITISH OPEN NEW YORK, January 10.—More reason than merely playing the win- ter courses and giving exhibitions is keeping Walter Hagen and Jim Barnes busy over the links. Both of them expect to go abroad in 1922 and take another fling at the British open championship. Jock Hutchison almost surely will cross the Atlantic jto defend his title and with these three in the British competition the open event will be represented by the best of the United States players, no matter whether as representative a_ delegation makes the journey to play in the amateur. Barnes and _Hutchison have had some hard ganfes on their tour along the Pacific_coast and have more to come. In the northwest HERE'S ATHLETE GRIFF WANTS. N Jersey City, when he stormed along !

Although the Inter nal Sport- ing Club has been slidicg down the financial toboggan and has been in great difficulties lately, the organi- aation probably will be kept alive as a sort of guardian to boxing and as a parent of this art. For a time it appeared that the club might be able to surmount its difficulties and save the property ac- quired at the corner of 49th street and Lexington avenue in New York city. But last week the property, which cost $750.000, was sold at auc- tion for some $370,000. It is now being proposed to or- ganize intercollegiate boxing and in that event it will be doubly impor- tant to have an organization such as the International Sporting Club. Some seventeen years ago Capt Palmer E. Plerce of West Point saw a vision and converted a small group of colleges outside the older insti- tutions to his belief In an assoclation. Today, largely through his leader- ship, the National Colleglate Athletic Association embraces nearly etery college of prominence and has done much to correct abuses, not by edict, but by interchange of ideas and sporting leadership. And now _the politics begin. Those who have power and its use covet the con- trol of the association. They were held in check at the December meet- ing, but they may be expected to try again. Soon after the middle of January the Washington and Jefferson foot ball ‘players will be given a great banquet at home at which they will reccive the well deserved honors for holding California to a scoreless tiej at Pasadena. The occaslon will be one of the greatest in the history of the institution. Skating rinks will rejoice in_the news that Oscar Mathleson of Nor- way, International speed champion, is salling for these shores. Americans may be assured of some grand races when he meets Bobby McLean and other of oum professional speedsters.
