 Framed War Res0lu-
 tiOnS

Chicago, Dec. 2o-Prefdent Charles Comiskey, of the Chicago American League club, at dinner party given in his honor, Monday night, threw considerable light upon the resolution adopted at the American League meet ing in New York relative to cutting off of official intercourse" with the National League, except to keep the peace agreement.
 Comiskey gave President Ban John son a cleanS bill of health so far as the proposal of the resolution was con- cerned.
 MT. Johnson had nothing to do with that resolution" Comiskey said, ''and therefore could not have proposed tt to divert attention from the ticket scandal as some of his critics have said. I was one of the men behind the resolution.
 7"we do not criticise Johnson our selves and will not stand for criticism from outsiders. He is clean sports man.
 "The American League wants to keep it's part of the peace agreement, and can do so on'y with the National League as a friendly rival.''

Several clubs in the Connecticut League are. after Pitcher Benny Her rington, a southpaw who belongs to the Albany club. Manager McCann tried to get Harrington when the boy was with the Pittsfield Independents last season. Manager Jimmy Garry of could have Harrington if the alter was free agent, but 1t turned out that Harrington was owned by AL bany.
 Johnny Downey of this city, broth CT of Tommy Downey, the big league infielder, may sign with Albany next season.
 ! Lefty Pike, who pitched a game for New BItta!n at Steeplechase last sea- son under the name of Stone, will be given a trial by the Philade phia Ath- beaten by the Mechanics by to ?, but showed some good stuff. His main trouble appeared to be lack of con- trol with men on bases.
 Scout Larry Sutton of the Brooklyn club thinks pretty well of Cabrera, the Cuban infielder of the New Britain club: Cabrera is captain and man ager. of the crack ,Almendares team in Havana which has been playing the Giants. Sid Mercer of the New York Globe who saw Cabrera play against the Giants, says the Cuban Is grand fielder and base runner, but appeared weak in batting against the Giant fingers. t

Tom Jones of Milwaukee, the for mer Detroit first baseman, led the in- itial seekers of the American AsSo- ciation in fie ding last year Jones played 122 games and made but elev- en errors in handling 1y252 chances. His average was .991. Williams of In- dianapolis, also a former major lea guer, led the second basemen with an average of .963, while M. Mccormick and B. Mccormick of St. Paul led the third seekers and shortstops respec- lively with averages of .941 and s3e. Ritter of Indianapolis was first among the catchers. Frs percentage was 991 No pitcher had chance to climb above S!agle of Louisville in fielding or Peters of Minneapolis in pitcting. The former twir CT handled 571 chances in twenty-five games without an error, and the latter boxman won fourteen games and lost none.
 Harry Davis believes that Paddy Livingston will be of great asst stance to him in Cleveland by helping him to develop the young pitchers. Living ston, by the way. Is going back to the land of tIs nativity. He was born in Cleve and on Jan. IA, 1881. He has aI- ways played behind the bat. He caueht for the Wheeling team in 1905 and the next year went to Cincinnati. The Reds sent him back to the minors and in 1907 and 1908 Livingston and Rube Marquard became famous as the star battery of the Indianapolis club in the American Association. Phila- delphia purchased Paddy's release from the minors in 1909.

Connecticut League Clubs After Soulhpaw
 Remington Now Owned by Albany

1 field third sacker, doesn't want to play in Haverhin of the New England League He prefers to stay in AL bany, where he finished the 1911 sea son. Albany had an option on Camp bell. who was the property of the Haverhill club, but didn't send the check in time to procure the player.
 It looks as if the National Polo League didn't put over anything on the Empire State League. After an- nouncing that they would jump the Albany club and join New Haven, Fahey, Gardner and Taylor have re- fused to leave Albany, and Manager Canavan of the New Haven team is now busy trying to explain things to the Elm City fans.
 Monte Cross, the old Philadelphia star, has signed to manage Lynn of the New Eng and League, next season. He bossed the Scranton club In the New York State League last sea- son.
 Manager Fred Clarke of the Pitts burgh Pirates, announces that he will never play again, not even as a pinch hitter. His friends don't take him at his word and it is said that Clarke has already bet IS suits of clothes that he will not get into the game again. When in Chicago recently Clarke went to see President Murphy of the Chfcago Cubs and told him about his bets. Murphy said it was too bad Clarke would lose those 18 bet suit with Murphy. making the total 19. If he wins, Clarke will have to hire special baggage car to carry his scenery.

NEXT GREAT OLYMPIC
John J. Hayes Says America Will Have Fast Team of Runners
 at Stockholm.

John J. Hayes, winner of the 1908 Olympic Marathon run, writes as fol-
 ows:
 Early next June. Stockholm, Sweden, will witness what sport followers pre- dict will be the greatest Olympic fes- t:val of modern times. The Ameri- can Marathon team will endeavor. to retain the laurels which crowned their forts of 1903. The American team in the Stockholm event will be a power full one andi.I venture to predict that the American Marathon representa- tion will be.'25 per cent. stronger than 1t was three years ago. The reason for this Is apparent, as the revival which swept the country fol owing the return of the 1908 team caused the younger athletes to take a more de- cided interest in this almost neglected event. The benefits derived from this condition of affairs will help the pro posed Marathon team hundred fold.
 One of the main reasons why pre- Cict a strong American team ,n the Marathon event is the fact that we must surely have profited by the re- newed interest the last three years has seen in this branch of ath etics. The the country following" the 1908 Olympic classic brought about a condition that Wfn prove of immense value to future Olympic Marathoners
 The results were that, from then up to the present day, the times are i'm proving, and record breaking has be- come more frequent occurrence. For instance, witness Crowley annexing the amateur records from 10 1-2 to r mics, and Matt Maloney's sterling per- formances. The intense heat which kept the time in Boston A. A. races slow in 1909 and 1910 was overcome by Clarence De Mar when he was forced to break the record to win that event last April, and last, but not least. Mike Ryan's performance in breaking the Canadian record running over a hard course His record of 2:4S:18 still stands.
 Now comes a consideration of the strength of our formidable opponents in this particular event, and Sweden will undoubtedly be our chief rival in this respect. Ernest w. Hjertberg whom we all knew as a Mara than trainer par excellence, is coaching the Swedish athletes, and. this reason alone is enough to make us suspect that he has a few good men under cover. Add ed to this is the advantage they will have in running on fam'Tar roads. We must a'so realize that the Swedes are a healthy. hardy race, who produce

Polo Grounds To
 Be Enlarged Again To Make Horseshoe

The magnificent Polo Grounds in New York will be further remodeled before the opening of another season. When Secretary Joe O'Brien returns from Milwaukee. where he will spend the holidays. he will take charge of gigantic reconstruction along lines that John T. Brush believes will give the National League champions the finest home sin the country for many years. In short. the p aying field is to be greatly enlarged. the wooden bleachers are to be replaced by mod ern steel and concrete structures, and the entrances will be entirely rernod- eled
 The work on the new bleachers will start immediately after the beginning of the new year. Brush Stadium will be real stadium. The left wing of tended to correspond win the right side that extends we'll into right field. thus forming a perfect horseshoe This entire section will be a double decker. Abutting the grandstand will start the sides of another perfect horseshoe, which will comprise the bleachers., These will be of steel and concrete and will be protected by a roof. The b'eachers. Of course, will be one tier only. But they will be much more commodious than the pres ent wooden ones, for they will be ex- tenueu Dack ciedr to Eigntn avenue, and will occupy a space of some hun dred feet or more that is not utilized at present. This will make the act ual playing field the most spacious in the country.
 The, various changes contemplated will hecessitate the remodeling of the entire front of the property along Eighth avenue. With the wooden bleachers will go the wooden club house. The front of the plant will be remodeled after the fashion of Shibc Park and Forbes Field. There is to be an "L'' station at 157th street, so that patrons will be able to take trains to directly in front of the grounds.

BOXING

Just to show that he .khows a trick or two when it comes to staging prizenghts, Hugh Mcintosh, the Aus tra!ian fight promoter. Is sending over samples of the literature he Is using to advertise the Sam Langford-Sam Mcvey twenty-round bout at Rush. cutters Bay on Dec 26. Red and blue ink is usedH with a lavish hand on posters and stickers announcing the bout as semi final contest for the heavyweight championship of the world. The price of ringside seats has been set at three guineas. General admission can be had for five shGllings. The posters advise the Australian sporting fraternity to secure their re- served seats early as the reserve sec N s. Baker, has been selected to referee the contest, which vii be held on what is known as "bo!ng day" Mo Intosh expects to match the winner of the bout with Jack Johnson.
 A match has been made between Frank Klaus who claims the midd e. weight championship and Eddie Mo- GOorty of Oshkosh. The men will meet at Duduesne Gardens. Pittsburgh, in a six-round bout on Dec. 27. McGoorty. who meets Howard Morrow at the National Sporting Club, New York on Thursday nj Int has still another match on lis hands. He has been secured to meet Bob Moha at Fond du Lac. Wis, in the early part of January. McGoorty takes the place of Hugo Kelly, who declined the match.
 Billy Newman of the New Polo A. C. who first introduced Mike Gibbons in New York, thinks he has discovered another wonder in Freddie Hicks, a Western welterweight. Hicks Is train ing at the New Polo and is coming up well in training bouts. Draw bouts with Gibbons, Jack Dillon and Bob , Moha are claimed by the latest arri- val, who wants to meet any of the Welterweights.
 Nike Gibbons, the St. Paul welter- weight, predicts that Young Hickey whose match with Mcfarland was ca led off, is going to make good. Gib- gons and Hickey boxed together fre- quently at the New Polo A. c. where Gibtons is in St. Paul he acts as box ing instructor at the local Y. M. c. A. and is used to imparting knowledge of the game to beginners. Hickey says his bouts with the St. Paul welter have taught him a lot.
 A busy man is Joe Jeanette, the Hoboken negro heavyweight. In the last two weeks he has fought five times. winning four of the bouts with kreckouts. These fights were tn diff ferent sections of the country and Jeanette had to be on the jump all the time. Next Friday he tackles Jeff Clark at New Orleans and then cores north and meets Jack Twin Sullivan at Buffalo on Dec. 26.
 The series of elimination contests be- tween the leading bantams that has been going on at New Orleans has narrowed down until but two contest ants are left They are Frankie Burns and Eddie OKeefe. and they wtll meet on Jan 1 to decide who is to get match with Johnny Coulon for the :hampionsh1p. It has been planned to bring the winner of the tourna- ment and Coulon together during Mar al Gras week.

Cap'. Spa'ding To
 Get New Coaches
HOWE WILL BE HEAD COACH AND JIM SCULLY WILL IN-
 STRUCT TACKLES.

Capt. Jesse Spa ding of the Yale 1912 eleven has offered coachships to several of the players of last seasons team and has given them three weeks to make up their minds. It is taken for granted that Capt. Howe will be head coach, and it is expected that Jim Scully will be coach of the tack es and Francis coach of the guards
 Some winter work is to be ordered will be called out in the gymnasium soon after col ege reopens, about Jan. 15, for some, technical detailed fnstruc : tion. As all three quarterbacks of the eleven the past sea son-Ca pt. Howe. Merritt and Strout-will be grad uated in June it is aimed to deVe.op at least two strong novices. Cast es class are the most promising. Kenneth McC!intock, the freshman quarter of last season, probably will be candi- date next fall.
 Spal6tng is the first Western cap tain the Ya'e eleven has had since the regime of Tom sheviin. Capt. Spalding, asked whether he favored playing a Western eleven next fall, said:
 "I see no chance for a game. Our schedule is now heavy, and while there may be couple of changes 1t is safe to predict mat no western game will be attempted. The jump would be a long one for Yale team to take and the faculty Is unwilling to allow many cuts from recitations to athletes.''
 Another reason Ya'e will not attempt a game with Western team is that the new stadium will not be ready here til 1913. There is strong sentiment at Yale for inviting a Western eleven, preferably Chicago or Minnesota team, to New Haven to help fill the new sta dium as soon as it is completed.
