The chief, a winning manager and pitcher im the Virginia league last season, will pilot the New Haven club in the Eastern league the com- ing warm spell. And the chief, though a bit aged, will again pitch. Last year he won 23 out of 25 games. These Indians are bears on the longevity stuff.

Then came “Big Bill" Edwards of ew York; Judge Killilea, a retired aseball magnate; Senator Walker, Young of Washington, and such well-known gents ax Bill Taft, Bill Bryan and Bill Sunday, The latter three were mentioned probably thru more or less of a desire for publicity to the commission, We doubt if Taft, Bryan or Sunday would seriously consider such a job, and, on the other hand, we think there are others in the list far more capable of filling the office suit- ably.

Dave Robertson, when shipped to , | the Chicago Cubs* ball park from the Polo grounds, bad a hunch that he wasn't going to like it, He's changed his mind. When the 1919 curtain had been rung down, Dave edged in on Fred Mitchell, and instead of ask- ing for more pay, merely wanted to thank the “Cub manager for the treatment he had received, and said he would play his “hea off” in 1920. “This bunk about the Cub officials being slave drivers crime, They know how to treat man there, you can take it from me I am play my head off for Mitchell next year, I had the wrong dope on the Cubs, and it bas taught we lesson I will never forg GEORGES AND WOMEN Tom Morrisey, member of the Or- *|pheum theatre circuit, who sparred with Georges Carpentier on several occasions while entertaining the doughboys in France, says that if Dempsey and the Frenchman ever get together, It will be a clean scrap and a mighty fast one, for that ts the way Georges boxes. Elizabeth Brice, co-star, who was with Morrisey in the overseas Amer- fean camps, also is an admirer of the idol of France, “All women of France are erssy about Georges. 1 have no doubt but that our American fighter will win if they ever box, but I hope he wins over Carpentier with one punch.
