Sporting Editor, Times.
If the football enthusiasts of this
city want to see something worth see
ing. let them go TO work and arrange
the two games that viii decide the
Southern championship. At the close
of this season the honor lies between
George Washington. the Louisiana
state University, at Baton Rouge. ana
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, at
Auburn. Neither of the last two men
toned has been defeated this season,
ana they have not met each other. II
George Washington consents to play
one game. the other two Will undoubt-
edly play for hOnOrs at Atlanta or New
Orleans, and the winner meet George
Washington at Atlanta or Washington.
Get busy and have the final game in
this city. Neither OF the far Southern
teams Is aveTSe to travelling. Last
Christmas, the University of Louisiana
played football at Havana with the
Havana Athletic club. and last summer
played baseball with Yale. at New

ANOTHER GRIFFITH
RUMOR IS ABAOAD
This Time He Is TO Manage
Brooklyn National League
Team.

NEW YORK. Dec. 3.-Clark Griffith,
former manager Of the New York
Americans, is now slated 10 manage
the Brooklyn National League team
next season.
Although neither President c. H. Eb-
bets. OF the club from across the East
river. nor the "OId FOX" would con-
nFm the report in circulation about the
latter beng the next leader OF the
Dodgers. friends OF both were around
town only too willing 10 wager that
GTiff is going to remain right here ia
New York this coming season.
There is only one thing i'm the way OF
Criff being next manager of the Brook
lyn team That is that Ebbets will
give wild Bill Dahlcn the position
Il President George Dovey, of the Bos-
ton Nationals, turns him over 10 Eb-
bets, as the latter claims he promised
20 90 as the meeting of the board OF
directors OF the National League ln Gin
cinnau last September, when the pro-
tested Giants-Cubs game was settled.
But. according 10 reports from Boston
Dahlen does not want to manage tho
Dodgers and he has so informed DOvey
And, besides, DoTey wants Bill to re-
main in the Hub as member of tnu
Doves.
Mr.. Ehbets says that he viii wait
until the meeting OF the National
League club owners at the Waldorf next
week to see whether DOVey will turn
Dahlen over. And odds arc 100 TO ! that
Iahleu will not go to Brooklyn.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 3--Great
interest centers about the arrival Of
Billy PaFke at $40 tomorrow morning
from San Francisco. With Papke will
come big Sam Berger. the Fillmore
street haberdasher, who is now known
as papke's new manager
Papke's eX-manageT, Tom Jones, viii
be al the Arcade depot to meet the Wis
itors, as viii about twenty-five OF the
leading sporting and newspaper men OF
Los Angeles. There is an air of uIys-
terry concerning Papke's unCeremOnious
dismissal Of Jones. II has been thought
all along that Jones was the most sue
cessful OF managers. In fact the south
ern California sports look upon Jones
m Jhe light OF q second Billy Nolan.
That Jones was smart enough TO pull
down 5000 at Colma Thursday when
the total gate receipts were only Sl3.5jf,
was looked upon as a great boost Tor
the Eewanee's ability as a business
man.
In all OF Papkes fights the terms have
been good, showing that Jones was on
the iOb at all L"urs- When together
here last, Papke and Jones appeared to
be as close as two brothers.
Jones said late last night: 81 can give
no explanation Of this. When I left
there was no misunderstanding Of any
kind between Billy and myself He
