FOSTER. HIEN the turkey was passed vesterday, there were some ball folks around the grouning board who par took with relish of plump birds, while others gnawed the bones, Johin Conway Toole, president of the International Leagie, claimed the vight to carve u turkey which was rated us the bestlooking bird, next 1o that sl up by Sam Breadon, president und part owner of the champion St. Louls Cardinals. The International League in 1926 turned up a new championship team in Toronto and won the little world erles from Louisville in five straight zames, It e 1 a new concrete plant at N ikes a fine 1ddition 1o those falo, and i in Rock ational Healthy ue that was descri moribund, in_financial straits and Jame and halt, as some of the big leaguers pictured it, President Toole thinks his eircuit has completed about 45 g0od & season’s job as the National League, which ate its own turkey and part of the American League’s, too. Even the annual meeting of the In- ternational League has been set for Rochaster in order that the members of the circuit may see that prosperity has not overlooked them as a whole, (loxpite the geographical layout of the eag e, Toward the West it 1s typically a lake circuit, with Toronto, Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse.

P’rovidence was tried, but was too far East and failed to get enthusiastic. Providence seems to fit better with New England rivalry because it is so intensely New England itself. Baltimore Not Major City. Some dav Baltimore will have a new concreta base ball park. The city still yearns for a return to major league hase ball, but it is not proba- ahla that it will aventuate for a while. The experiment of the Federal l.eague confirmed base ball men in their opinion that Baltimore has too many other interests to warm up to hase ball, which would be much more expensive per capita than the base ball of the class AA leagues. It would be mighty unfair to try major league base ball in Baltimore without giving John Dunn a chance at it, because he has stood by the fans of Raltimore in his promises, even to the extent ot fighting all the major lrague crowd. He wouldn't have the draft and his league didn’t have it until there came into existence a mod ified draft which Isn’t the old kind of For a lea draft any more than a chipmunk is . squirrel. The Natlonal League gave many more thanks and ate much more turkey than the American. It was another National League vear, with the demonstration on the other side of the Mississippi River—and they stlll are celebrating out that way, with reason. In the Amerlean Association the Louisvilla ¢lub carved a turkey that was more subdued than fat.

GETS A HOLE IN ONE; | HOLES NIBLICK SHOT A palr of gol's most unusual ex- periences fell to the lot of John C. Letts, donor of the Let trophy for the Senior Golf Association of the Chase Club, in a round at Chase. He scored a one on the 145-yard tenth hole, plaving the shot with a spoon. Seven holes later, at the diffi- cult seventeenth, thought by many to be the finest two-shot hole around Washington, he put his third shot in a bunker near the green and then holed out with a niblick. le was playing with Rear Admiral William R.

In the main attraction of the card, Ivan Linow and Tommy Draak will be opponents. Both of these men have appeared here before. Linow, a rugged Russian, gave a good exhibi- tion yhen he grappled to a 30-minute draw with Hans Steinke, gigantic German, while Draak, a Hollander, gave Alex Garkawienko a good tussle before being pinned to the mat.

NEW YORK, November 26.—Cham- pion Pete Latzo reports that his hand is well enough to take part in many fights he has booked. This sets at rest the rumor that he would have to give up the game for all time. Pete's next opponent will be Joe Simonich, The fight is scheduled over the 12.round, no.decision route and will take place during the first week in_December. Baltimore Joe Dundes is out on the Coast. 1le figures there is nothing much for him in the East, as Latzo does not figure to give him a crack at the title until the warm weather comes around and the big open-air clubs throw open their doors. The other welterweights are going to fight it out among themselves dur- ing ‘the cold months and probably beat Dundee to first chance at the title. Alf Mancini and Jack Hood, the British star, are busy week in and week out. Georgie Levine is figshting often, as are Al Mello and Georgie Lee, New England luminaries. Sergt. Sammy Baker and Willie Harmon have decided to fight it out Saturday evening. RBaker has been having a hard job getting the top- notchers to fight him. The soldier punches too hard and is shunned by the boys of his division. Harmon took the match knowing full well that he must turn in some good fights to erase the knockout he suffered at the hands of Latzo. Willie says this should not be held agalnst him the champion came in weighing 154 pounds—nearer the mid- dlewelght poundage than the welter- weight. The knockout changed Willie's style of fighting. Instead of the huddled-un defensive fighter, he has opened up and own a punch no one thought he had, The soldier is a tough assignment. If Harmon can get by him, he will be deserving of a crack at Dundee for first claim to a fight with Latzo when that worthy consents to risk his title. il gy o The recent foot ball game between University of Michigan and Annapolis was the first time the Wolverines had failed to score since the game with Vanderbilt University four years ago. fes of competitions in Texas, Arkan- sas, Louisiana and Florida. Last season. the high purse Califor- nla open was very much of & flop insofar as the caliber of the entry was concerned. Walter Hagen was not in it; neither was Jonny Farrell or Leo Diegel, or Jim Barnes, or Wil- lle MacFarland, or Jock Hutchison. It will be different this Winter, for outside of Hagen and Sarazen, who are contract-bound to stay in Florida beginning early in December, the stars just mentioned will bs on hand for the $10,000 classic as they will he in the other tournaments on the route. California Open Lure. Of course the California open at Los Angeles with its rich award of $10,000 tops the list, and this time the competition promises to be keener than it was twelve months back, when first place—worth $3,500 in cash went to Ilarry Cooper, the Texan George Von Fim, present national amateur champion, finished second and recelved a nice cup. Von Elm and Cooper Will compete again in the Callfornia open, but there 1s great speculation as to whether either will be able to finish at the top this time. Farrell figures to step in for some of the prize money, as to Diegel, Barnes and Turnesa.

The salaried brigade of the links will compete for $50,000 in prize money during January, February and March.

A year ago most of the foremost professionals confined their playing to the various tournaments in 'Florida. Johnny Farrell was the outstanding performer in these South- land competitions, for he won the Florida open and the Sanford tourna- ment. Tommy Armour won the Winter professional crown at St. Augustine, while Archie Compston, the tall Brit- isher, outscored a_high-grade collec- tion of plavers at Lakeland. Armour plans to go to the coast and through Texas this Winter quest of the big money, while Comp | ston may return to America in time | for these tournaments.
