That some disposition will be made of the popular athlete, who has been the regular first baseman of the Na- for a dozen seasons, is just @bout a foregone conclusion, despite owner’s assertion that “he may be kept, too,” but where and how is & matter for speculation. ' His status now. is similar to that Tris Speaker, who was given per- ‘mission at the close of last season to dicker for a managerial job, in that it is undecided and may remain so ‘weeks. ‘There are several possibilities re- ‘gsarding Judge. He may vet traded, he may e may pass on via the Cleveland Wants Joe. The Cleveland club is known to want him,‘as arrangements are said to have beeh already made to shunt George Burns to the minors.

He had his greatest vear in 1 , when he hit for .420, drove out 246 hits, scored 134 run and stole 51 bases. Then he was a $150,000 ball player, recalling that in that vear the Giants gave $100,000 for O'Connell and the White Sox part- ed with the same sum for Kamm. Not Trading Material. “Today Sisler is not considered a strong enough trading asset for the | St. Louis club to get any real value | for him in players. So the Browns preferred to take cash, which they can spend for minor league talent.” From these comments in the metro- wait and gauge Sisler's value on the extent to which he produces for the tionals next season. Base Ball Briefs By the Associated Press. The comedy team of Nick Altrock and Al Schacht isn't to be broken up after all. There were reports that Schacht would be handed his release by the Nationals, but “Bucky"” Harris, ‘Washington manager, declares they are still under contract and will per- form on the coaching lines next sea- son. The “act” is now in vaudeville. Johnny Mostil, who is conditioning himself at his Whiting, Ind., home by shoveling coal and bowling, is confi- dent of a come-back in 1928, according to Manager Ray Schalk of the White Sox. The outfielder was in the game a few times last season, after attempt- ing suicide in the Spring, during a despondent spell, but aspires to win back his regular berth next year. The last of the trio of St. Louis Brown outfielders, who rated among the best in the game five years ago, has departed with the sale of Ken Wil- liams, home run_ slugger, to Boston. Johnny Tobin and “Baby Doll” Jacob- son were the others. It is a coinci- dence that all three went to the Red Sox. Tobin had a short stay with Washington before going to the Hub.

The news that one of the very best first base- ‘mien in the league had been sold for a sum understood to be $25,000 caused intense pain among several American managers. A writer for the Telegram isn’t so enth He says: “Not so many years back George Sisler was rated second only to Hal Chase among the test first basemen of all time. He ~had been the American League’'s most valuable player. He hagd set a batting yecord with .420 in 1922. He was grace and speed and power. Today we find Sisler sold to Washington for $15,000, ‘We find the Browns bewailing the fact that they had held Sisler overlong, un- til they could get no worth-while player in exchange for him.” Dark Horse in Woodpile. An observer in the Evening World opines there is a dark man in the woodpile somewhere. He says: “The sensation of the day is the purchase of George Sisler by the Washington Sena- ‘tors for a small amount of cash. The huddling magnates want to know why.

The promoters of the club had the idea of patterning it after the National Sporting Club | of London, but this didn't succeed. The plan originated with Charles H. Genslinge: Membership was lim- ited to 500. Each member paid $50 to see Everhardt and me fight. More than 5,000 fight fans stood outside, hoping to get in, and eagerly await- ing the result. Everhardt was a native of New Or- leans, but had adopted Philadelphia as his home. He was one of the “Philadelphia lightweights.” He was feet 6 inches tall, powerfully built nd a fast boxer who could hit. Jack had championship stuff. Everhardt was shifty on his feet and fought me at long range. He gave me a lacing for 20 rounds, As the twenty-first round began, both my eyves were nearly clo: LMy » p was bleeding, and my mouth was ter- ribly swollen. The ear Walcott had damaged was bleeding.

Those cer- tainly were the good old days of hon- est-to-goodness fighting. I hadn't neglected to sock Ever- hardt, but most of my work had been directed at his body, and didn’t show so_much. Everhart was full of confidence. He looked like a sure winner on points. The championship was not involved, as we were fighting at 138 ringside, the lowest Everhardt could do. But it woull have meant a loss of pres- tige for me to have a decision against me. Once more T had the sati noting an ebbing of my foe’s strength. I felt this distinctly in the cilnches.

I was covered with blood and almost blind, but I could still hit plenty. I dimly saw Everhardt’s body bounce off the ropes. I shot out a terrific straight right with all my weight be- hind it. It’caught him in the mouth and he fell forward. I hooked a left uppercut and a right to the head. verhardt lurched drunkenly. He was out on his feet. The referee stopped the slaughter.

I beat him in every round, “Kid” McPartland stayed with me for 25 rounds, thanks to his fleetness of foot. We met at the Broadway Athletic Club in February, 1896. Me- Partland had a long reach and he was clever. I chased him round after round, and got the referee's decision. One of the New York papers pub- lished a half-page cartoon showing McPartland riding a bicycle around the ring, with me chasing him.

Chamber of Com- merce to the Washington Chamber of Commerce will be borne by the Hoosier basket ball quint, which makes its first appearance of the season in the Capital Sunday night, meeting the Washington tossers at the Arcadia in the first of a two-game series. In a letter to George Marshall, own- er of the local pro five, the Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce indi- cates a desire to add to the under- standing and friendly co-operation of its eity with the Nation's Capital. An excerpt from the letter follows: “We desire to make the occasion of Fort Wayne's first American Basket Ball League game of the season in your city the opporunity for a message of more color and spirit than these usually exchanged incident to the busi- ness of two industrial centers. “When the ‘Hooslers,’ carrying the banner of Fort Wayne, meet the team representing your city on Sunday, De- cember 18th, may we employ them as messengers of good will to express the best wishes of the Chamber of Com- mere of Fort Wayne to the Chamber of Commerce of the City of Washing- ton and hope that this contact in the world of sports may add its measure to the understanding and friendly co- operation of one Amercain community with another.” It iIs evident from the tone of the message that basket ball is held to be one of Fort Wayne's prides. Inci- dentally Fort Wayne’s team is spon- sored by the local chamber of com- merce, and naturally, therefore, the fans of the Indlana town look upon the Hoosier tossers as part of their personal possessions. Although the invading players will bear a message of good will they very probably will forget a lot about this sort of thing when the referee blows his whistle, for they will be out to win their first game from Washington on the Arcadia floor, having been turned back upon every other occasion of their visits here in the past. The Hooslers still carry memories of two heart-breaking defeats suffered at the hands of the Washington quint last year here. At that time they were in the thick of the pennant hunt, and the defeats abruptly halted their march upon the New York Celtics, who were leading the race. In the coming series, which extends over to Monday night, Fort Wayne will be striving to maintain its close position behind Cleveland, which leads the Western division of the league at present. want “HIM” to get a real thrill out of this Merry Yuletide, be sure to send him a box of fine hand - made ADMIRATION Cigars!

EW YORK, December 16— Rumblings of a base ball war had subsided today. The major leagues stamped ap- proval upon the scrapping of the draft system as proposed by the minor circuits. This action, taken at a joint meet- ing of the National and American Leagues here yesterday, marked the close of the basé ball gathering and left the next move over the draft situation up to the minors. While the majors expressed willing- ness to terminate the major-minor league agreement on next January 14, when the seven-year period of its operation expires, should the minors so desire, they also agreed to a truce untll February 1, when the minors will make known'their wishes. Meantime, the present agreement stands. Abolition of the draft, which is not considered likely, would cause the minors to function separately and out of the jurisdiction of Commis. sioner Kenesaw M. Landis. ‘Without the joint understandirg between the two groups as now pre- vails, there would be no draft, no rules on the sale or recall of players save those instituted by the majors. While upholding a claim that the agreement is in force as long as Landis holds office, the majors called for a show-down on-the minors' chal- lenge by passing the following resolu- tion: “Resolved, that the major leagues. in reply to the inquiry of the National Association (of minor leagues) inform- ed the National Association that the major leagues are willing to have the major-minor agreement terminate on January 14, 1928, if the National As- sociation so desires.” This decision from the majors +¥ surprise to the minors whose com tee requested until February 1 before taking a definite stand in the matter. The minors committee consisted of. John H. Farrell, Herman J. Weisman and William G. Bramham. The muddle arose during the recent minor league confab in Dallas. Five leagues were ordered to discontinue the modified draft and at the same time the proposal was made to end | the minor-major agreement at the ex-| piration of Landis' first seven-year term of office. Eighteen amendments to major league rules were adopted, including legislation for punishment of players wagering on ball games or accepting | money to exert themselves harder against a rival club. Robins Complete Deals. ‘Wilbert Robinson, manager of the Brooklyn Robins, announced that he had turned Johnny Butler, third bas man, over to the Cubs, who, in turn, will send Eddie Pick, infielder, and | some cash to Milwaukee to reimburse the Brewers for sending Harry Ri- conda to the Robins, He also announced that he had re- leased Gus Felix, outfielder, and Bobby Barrett, utility infielder, to Buffalo as part payment for Al Tyson, outfielder, recently acquired from the Bisons. Announcement is expected soon of a trade whereby “Bing” Miller of the St. Louis Browns will be turned over to the Philadelphia Athletics for Pitcher Sam Gray, Outfielder Walter French or Le Bourveau. The deal was practically completed last night. DEAN FORSAKES SPORTS FOR BUSINESS REASONS CHICAGO, December 16 (P.— Charles A.

TROUSERS To Match Your Odd Coats EISEMAN'S, 7th & F WASHINGTON, D. C.. ' | throughout the bowling world almost | 'BENNETT NEW HEAD ~ Montreal |- WITH THE HERE still is a foul line on the bowling alleys. Managers of drives continue to call the at tention of duckpinners to this fact. Fortunately, however, they do not have to inform so many of Washington's maple smashers of this as they did in other seasons. A care- ful survey of the many leagues active in this city reveals that most of them have a foul liner ule, that they respect the black line drawn actoss the front of the drive and penalize the bowler who infringes upon territory beyond it. And that’s how it should be. Virtually all of the bowling fratern- ity came to the conclusion last season that if they were to have their achieve- ments recognized as records they must pay strict attention to this foul line. A ‘great stride toward inducing the kpinners to ider the black pe carefully was made when the ashington City Duckpin Association at its meeting last Winter stated em phatically that its compilation of records would be based only on scores from those leagues that had a foul line rule. That awakened the boys of the bowling fraternity and the girls of the duckpin_sorority, too. It is pleasing to note that practical ly every league of any consequence this Winter has a judge on the line. And it is more pleasing to note that the judge has few occasions to toot his whistle. All of this makes for better bowling in the Capital. Speaking of records in duckpins, there does not seem to be any such thing in Baltimore. A paper devoted to the game in that town, however, is eager to have the Baltimoreans do something about this matter. It would have the newly organized Na- tional Dckpin Bowling Congress list a lot of recognized marks for the game. In part, this paper sa “Did you hear about the score so- and-so rolled the other night? He dropped 188 pins. Some score, eh?
