Frazee Suys He Has No Intention of Displacing Red Sox Leader. Boston, Mass., Oct. 17.—Stories that Jack Barry would be displaced as manager of the Red Sox and that the present owners were ready to sell out their holdings were denied yesterday by H. H. Frazee, president of the ®oston club. A report had been eirculated that Dick Hoblitzell would take Barry's place. “Barry can remain manager of the Red Sox as long as he likes to hold the job,” sald Frazee. *I fully rec- ognize the ability of Hoblitzell, but mever for a moment did I entertain any idea of appointing him in Barry's place. As for my ‘selling out, all 1 can say is that I am in baseball to stay. Boston has treated us right and I hope to own the club for quite gomo time to come.” — HELP A WORTHY CAUSE. =3 New Britain boys in camp at Ayer, Mass, are in need of football regalia to attain honor on the gridiron.

WHITE SOX AGAIN DEFEAT GIANTS The Latest Lacing, fiowever, Is Exhibition Game Before Soldiers New York, Oct. 17.—Even with Mercury Foot Zimmerman detained in The Bronx with a severe headache Sox in their exhibition for nearly 6,- 000 Rainbow Division troopers from Camp Mills on the St, Paul's School fleld at Garden City yesterday after- noon. Even with a double time at bat for Germany Schaefer in a' des- perate ninth inning burlesque on the famous Zimmerman ‘‘boner” the Giants were forced to take another whipping by 6 to 4. One of the New York runs was a deliberate present. The burlesque on the now world fa- mous Zimmerman sprint was a scream. With Burns on third and Schaefer on first in the ninth Kauff drove a double into center. Burns scored and Schaefer after reaching | third decided to waddle for home. | Eddie Murphy whipped the ball to McMullin; and then the fun began. As the Chicago third baseman stood off with the ball Schaefer began to edge to the plate. Dodging a foot at a time, with McMullin always half a stride behind him, Schaefer finally crossed the plate and McMullin slid right after him. Schaefer rose in triumph, made his bow all around and threw his chest out so that the but- tons almost popped off his shirt. The whole ninth was a joke. It started with Schaefer batting out of his turn, in George Smith's place. Soon after Schaefer got the call to bat again, in Herzog's turn. The bur- lesque was arranged to give the sol- dier boys a laugh, and in a way it was a success. Those of the troopers who e:pected the players to put up a real contest were disappointed sorely. The White Sox presented a lineup that contained most of the regulars, but the Giants were without some of their shining lights.

The players are being taught new signale and formations for the Wesleyan game next Saturday. In a two hour signal drill and scrimmage on Ohio Field yesterday afternoon the play- ers went through the new code.

SITS DOWN IN CHAR, T SQUEAKS AND FLOOR _CRACKS iS]N KS sLowly UT QUIETLY & CW ON - TO RAINBOWS COME BACK. ““New Britain, Conn. “Oct. 17, 1917. “Sporting Editor:— “Seeing in last Saturday's paper that some false remarks were made concerning the Rainbow football team, I wish to say that the spectator, whoever he may be, don’t know what he is talking about. For in the first place, I leave it to Joseph Gorman who was umpiring the game be- tween the Rainbows and the Bran- ford team if by right the Rainbows didn’t- win. Now this spectator who I hear is one of the players of the Laure] football team has a bitter envy against the members of the Rainbow team, and that is probably why he put such remarks in the paper. The referee of the game was Abe Canter- wich, one of the Laurels, and so were the two timers, I don’t just remem- ber their names. The time was to be ten minute periods, and just for spite, when they saw that we were on Branford’s 2 yard line in the second period and going over for a touch- down, cut the time short to an 8 min- ute period. Isn’t that envy? “About the game that they said I had scheduled with the Laurels I take time to say that as the man- ager of the Laurels didn't let me know about the answer until late Saturday night I couldn’t wait until then to get a game, and so I got one from the Branford team. terested spectator or any of the Laurel bunch have the nerve to put such a piece in the paper, why don’t they get a game with the Branford team which will gladly play them. The Laurels are a pack of Jews who don’t know how to play and are vel- low, and the sneaky manager has the nerve to ask me to get games for his | team for he don't know how or can’t get games. Now if the interested spectator or any of the Laurels are 80 confident of beating us, I am will- ing to place a $5 guarantee with the Sporting Editor of the Herald on the game. The game to be played on our field where it is all grass and not up in back of the Smalley school where 4t is all stones and not even marked off. They, the Laurels, are so Sneaky that they even send one of their players over to our practice to get our signals. I suppose they haven't got any of their own. This interested spectator whom I know came around the back way tQ see the game, for he was afraid to pay to see the game. “Yours very sincerely, “EDWARD J. SMITH, “‘Manager of the Rainbows.” MARQUARD FINED $100. Rube Punished by Ebbets for Playing Against Lincolns, Brooklyn, N. Y, Oct. 17.—Rube Marquard, star pitcher of the Brook- lyn National League team, was noti- fied yesterday by Charles Ebbets, owner of the Dodgers, that a fine of $100 has been meted out to him for pitching for the All-Stars against the Lincoln Giants at Olympic Field last Sunday. On that occasion Marquard’'s team was beaten in a ten inning game. Despite the fine, Marquard has de- cided to continue his barnstorming trip. He has arranged to play a re- turn game with the Lincoln Giants next Sunday, and in an effort to turn the tables on the Harlemites will have five new players in his lineup.

BRITTON Lightweight Champion Tackles Tough Bird Friday Night—Jack Has Met the Best of Them. New York, Oct. 17.—Jack Britton was 32 years of age last Sunday. of those thirty-two years he has spent fourteen vears in the ring. The rec- ord books only chronicle Britton's ring | doings since 1905, but it was two years previous to that when he first crawled through the ropes. Most little men of the ring, feather- weights, lightweights and welter- weights, have been at the crest when bhetween 20 and 25 years of age. Few of them to much after passing the 28 year old mark. Britton, who three times the great Packey McFarland, has met Willie Ritchie, Matty Baldwin, Eddie Hanlon, Joe Welling, Leach Cross, Charlie White and other great light- weights and has given battle to Mike Glover, Soldier Bartfield, Silent Mar- tin, Leo Houck, Frank Laughery, Kid Lewis and Mike O’Dowd among the amounted fought ter fourteen years service in the ring, finds himself physically little impaired. Yet of all the ring stars Britton has given battle to in his long career he never, with the possible exception of McFarland, has met as dangerous and masterly an opponent as Benny Leon- ard, the lightweight king, whom he Leonard will give away a little weight —four or five pounds—but that s that Benny possesses in youth, strength, consummate boxing skill and cleverness. HOURLESS IN SHAPE Belmont’s Great Colt Works in Sensa- tional Manner at Laurel Track— Favored to Beat Omar Khayyam.

Some of the players were in favor of doing something drastic, and telling the commission just where it got off at, but cooler heads advised patience and told their mates to go abot the thing in a sensible manner. At a conference attended by the former world’s series opponents the terday morning: “We. the undersigned, hereby de- clare and ‘agree not to participate as individuals or as a team in any game after this day at Camp Mills L. I.” Players Sign Petition. The petition was signed by every player on both the New York Chicago clubs who was eligible to the series, and was handed to the com- mission before yesterday's game at Garden City by Capt. Charley Herzog of the Giants and Capt. Eddie Collins of the White Sox. The commission promised to take the matter under immediate advise- ment and give the players an early reply. While the commission had not ; vet answered the petition officially, it favors granting the request of the last night the players will be paid in full today. k1 President John K. Tener of the Na- tional League, a member of the com- mission, said the commission had de- cided to comply with the request of | the players. He said the only thing, the commission cared about was to b sure theere would be no attempts to’ break the rule against world's series players taking part in exhibition games, and that the pledge of the players was perfectly satisfactory the commission. One of the reasons why the.com- mission's action was resented so hatly by some pf the players is that they considered it a slight, if not an insult. As one player sald, “It makes us look as though we cannot be trusted and that we have to be coerced into obey- ing a comm!ssion ruling.” Collins a Heavy Loser. It must be admitted that the players had a grievance and that the come mission should have found some | other way of exerting its authority | than holding back money belonging tot the players. The actlon of the\com- mission in stopping these barnstormi- ing trips by world's series opponents is, however, a good thing for baseball. Such games usually are burlesques on the game and slipshop exhibitions. Frequently teams are billed as world champians with perhaps three to five of the world’s champions in the line- u p. Eddie Collins, who with Herzog drew up the petition sent to the com- mission, is the heaviest loser by the commission’s actian. Collins, it 1s said, could have cleaned up another $2,000 with his proposed exhibition trip had not the commission inter- vened.
