CHANCE SAYS KAMM 18 GOOD PROSPECT Will Wiile Kamm justify the $100,- 08 ‘in real money paid the Frisco club by the White Sox' for his services? That is what Chicago fans are asking, but to date they have uncovered noth. tng to indicate that the coast leagues will prove a “bust” when he arrives mext spring for his first bid under the big: tent. Every ball man with worthwhile judgment who has seen the third sack- ing : phemom perform offers the same veply to the query as to whether Kamm will come through.

HARVARD.CUTS FOOTBALL SCHEDULE ONE GAME Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 28. — The Harvard football schedile for next fall will be of eight s, one less than this year. Four will be contdsts ciass- ed as heavy. Princeton. will be played as usual, two weeks ‘before the game with Yale. Centre - will be . dropped. Virginia or ‘North Carolina may take' the place of Florida. Dartmouth in all probability will ‘be retained under another one- year arrangement. The later start will probably prevent a'meeting with Holy Cross. These, it was learned today, are the principal , propositions which the mak- ers of the Harvard schedule are now taking into consideration. This bched- ule will be the first under the tri-par- tite agreement- between the presidents of the big three group—Harvard, Yale and Princeton—providing for a lessen- ing of gridiron activities, and will be drawn-up in’the spi f that agree- ment, it is understood. Instead of playing a late September game, the season will not open until October 6. :Harvard’s opponents in the fifst -three games may include other than New England colleges. Holy Cross was found to be a stiff early season task for a team under gradual development, and with the prepara- tory season shortened it, appears now that that team will not fit into the Crimson plans. Dartmouth, which came to the sta- dium. tbis year after an abkence of many years, is likely to be back again for the important mid-season game, if the Crimson and Green schedule makers.can get together on the Octo- ber 27 date. Centre college was the fourth team met by Harvard this fall, and Dartmouth the fifth, and the con- traction of the schedule will haye the effect putting one strong team in the middle of the list where this year there were two. To.take the place of Florida, in fol- lowing. out the Crimson’s custom of inviting at least one southern college to come to the stadium each year, Vir- ginia ‘or North Carolina will be asked. The Princeton game will follow on November 10, to be played at Prince- ton under the alternating arrange- ment.: There has beén no official con- sideration: given to any change in the Princeton-Yale-Harvard series, it is authoritatively stated. Brown, con- queror of Harvard this year, will be asked to -take the usual place in the date just prior to that on which Yale :‘m come to Cambridge on November NEW BODY TO GOVERN AMERICAN CYCLING New York, Nov. 28.—A new agree- ment governing- control of amateur and professional bicycle racing throughout the country has been ef- fected between the Amateur Bicycle league of America and the National Cycling association, it was announced today. Under its terms thé€ Amateur league controls all amateur road racing and also dirt track racing where no ad- mission is charged, /while the N. C. A. holds jurisdiction over all other track even'ls as well as professional compe- tition. The agreement was the result of conferences between Frank L. Kramer, retired professional champion, repre- senting the N..C. A., and a committee of the.Amateur league, headed by D. J. Mclntyre, its president. The latter organization is an outgrowth of the Inter-Club Amateur Road Racing leagne. . MAJOR LEAGUE TEAMS GET GOING ON APRIL 17 Chicago, Nov. 28. — Major league baseball fans will probably have to wait a week longer than usual to see their favorites at play next season, as notices were sent out by President Ban Johnson of the American league and Prasident Heydler of the National league that the season will get under way April 17 . This action was taken, it is said, at the request of the cluib owners who hoped to avoid bad weather and bene- fit their clubs by a week’s additional training. The season will, according to the notices, therefore close October 7 or 8, instead of October 1. The inaugural date in past years has been -on Wednesday, while this coming season it will fall on Tuesday Spring exhibition games will be book- ed to fill the extra week of the train- ing period it is said.

Y. Nov. 28—Harry Frazee, owner of the Boston Red Sox, will sell no more of his players. This he announced here tonight at the op- ening of one of his new playk which is appearing in a Rochester theatre. His sole object, he declared, is to re- build his club for the 1923 American league pennant race, and will not con- sider any more deals. He may make some trades, he said, but, only with the view of reconstructing his club. “I am kept denying stories that I am about to isell the Boston club,” he said. “There is nothing to these re- ports. I am not willing to sell my club unless I get my price and that means I will not let the Boston club go for $1,000,000 or $1,200,000. Either Frank Chance or Bill Carri- gan will manage the club next year, he said, but the selection will not take. place until the big league meeting next month.

Rockne was here yesterday with Notre Dame, which defeated Carnegie Tech, and he was approached by men from ‘Washington and Jefferson College, who are empowered to get a new coach. The Hoosier man said his con- tract had two. years.to run at Notre Dame, and he would not ask to be #aleased.

FIVE TO PLAY UNDER MANAGEMENT OF BATTERY B AT ARMORY Negotiations are under way and will be probably completed within the next few days for Battery B to take over the management of the Crescent A. C. basketball team and give Norwich its first real taste of basketball- this sea- son, The Crescents in going under the new management feel that with a large hall to play in there will be capacity crowds at the games. Norwich has long been off the basketball map and local fans have been clamoring for a team to represent Norwich. The Battery B athletic management has been boosting sports in this city during the past few months and ' this verture of putting on fast basketball comes after carefd] consideration and belief that the Norwich people will sup- port a team that is second to mome in the state. The Crescent team does ot come to Norwich without a record and the people of this city can rest assured that with their patronage they will be supporting a team that:can deliver the =oods and a team of which Norwich can be_proud. The team will, #f # is brought to Norwich, be as fast a team as is play- ing in the state this season. They will have two of the fastest forwards in the state in Normandin and Belair. Nof- mandin and Belair have plaved togeth- er on teams throughout New -England and have been rated with the best in the game. Mills will play center for the team and in Mills the team will have as fast a center as is plaving the game today. Mills is an accurate basket stiooter and a fast floor man. His rec- ord during the past few years shows that he has far outclassed ’iis team in the number of baskets made from the field. With Belair and Normandin working with him in the game this trio should be able to walk through any team in the state. At the guard positions will de the Murphy brothers. Jack and Denny, and it would be hard to find two better men to fill these positions. Both are fast on their feet. always playing their men close and have many times saved & game. This quintet should be able to furnish enough excitement for the most ardent basketball fan in the city. An endeavor is being made to start the season against the Y, M. H. A team of Hartford. rated as ome of the best teams in the state, in about two weeks. Also endeavors will be made to get a booking for Norwich with the Ort mal” Celtics of New York. The Celtics are the champions of the country and it is very seldom that they lose a game. The Brooklyn Whirlwinds will also bde booked providinz the patronage at the games warrant it. It is up to the peo- ple of Norwich to support this team and if they do then there will.be some of the fastest hasketball piayed here as there is in New England.
