JORDAN WANTED TO PLAY
FIRST BASE FOR BRAVES

BALTIMORE. Dec. 14.-President
Gaffney and Manager Stallings are hot
on the trail of Tim Jordan, whom they
hope to secure to play first for the
Braves
Jordan is now IN Toronto. He would
have been back in the big league last
season If ii had not been for the re-
fusal OF the Brooklyn club to allow the
Pirates to get him. Jordan is not a
brilliant fielder, but he is one OF the
best hitting first basemen in the coun-
try, and it viii boom the Braves stock
a whole lot if Gaffney can land him.
Jordan is not anxious to go TO Boston
as he prefers Pittsburg, but a players
objections are easily removed.
Manager Stallings is anXiously await
ing word from Campbell, to whom he
wrote several days ago. 1t is said on
pretty good authority that the St. Louis
man Is in earnest in his determination
TO quit baseball and Stallings is eager
to hear from him before he goes
through with some of the deals he has
in mind

DERRICK AT SHORT,
M'MILLAN AT I'd FOR
YANKS NEXT YEAR

NEW YORK, Dec. 14-Now that John
McGraw has waived on Frank Chance
there seems nothing to stand in his way
and he will soon become member of the
Highland team, and its manager. And
already the dopesters are beginning to
figure on the Yankee team for 1913
Tommy Mcmillan, who came out of the
International league during the latter
part Of last season, is believed by a num-
Der of the Highland players to be a bet
ter second baseman than he is a short
stop. Now, what do you think of that?
The same players also think that when
the new manager gets a look at Derrick
playing short, they will never get him out
of that position.
Connie Mack has said that short seems
to be the best place for Derrick. He
has that long reach and can go either way
after the ball. and 1 think he would be
better there than any other place in the
intield, although he has played ali the
positions" said Connie. II am under the
impression that when the New York club
is at work and they learn how Derrick
can take care of that job he will be named
for that position in the lineup for the
opening game"
Although Mcmillan did great work at
short the Yankees right now are kind of
lost for second baseman. Tommy
might be good at that corner. He has
played short most of the time, but has
had to work out at second base several
times, and there is no doubt that he can
take care of that job. But the dope seems
to be that Derrick is the man for short,
and that the Yankees will have no trou-
BILE filing that position.

was as follows;
Morris may or may not have
known before leaving Atlanta that
he was going to fight his sparring
partner. On the morning of the
fight he did know that he was go
ing to meet Heating. He and his
manager both told Chattanooga
fight fans that Heating had been
his sparring partner. Morris want
ed it announced from the ring that
Williams was no other than keat-
ing. But the club refused to do so.
Then Morris and his manager went
to the newspaper mon and told
them who Williams really was. But
the newspaper men, at any rate
one Of them, said he would not
make the announcement, as besides
being sporting editor he was one of
the owners of the club. And he
had rather bunk his readers than
to knock the show and thereby lose
a few dollars that would como
through the gate.
A fine situation! No wonder the
fight fans Of the South have been
forced to put up with fakes, hunks
and fascos. When a sporting editor
refuses TO tell his readers the truth
to gain for himself a few extra dol
lars, it's time that he resigned his
position.

ris yesterday and he seems to feel
very badly about the suspicion that
has been cast on him.

club promoters to call off the
match" said Carl "They refused
to do it. l couldn't sidestep, or
Chattanooga fans would have said
l was afraid of Williams. So

beating. When l got through with
him his face was cut to ribbons.

to fight again for many weeks

Virginia and Georgia May Meet at Football
Plan Two Games, One in Virginia, Other Here

dition viii exhaust himself with
the exercise
THE Carlisle Indians are planning
next year to make a considera-
bic study Of Canadian football, and
expect to play at least one game in
Canada next year. under the Cana
dian rules. It viii be remembered
that the season just passed Carlisle
played a picked team in Canada,
half the game at American college
football and half at Canadian Rug
by The Carlisle players won at
both styles Of game. But both teams
are determined to go more care
fully into the new style OF play.
and to try conclusions next fall.
Coach Glenn Warner. of the In
dams, made a careful study Of the
game in Canada and arrived at the
following conclusions about il:
In the Canadian game the diTI-
Guilty of gaining ground consis-
tenty is so great that possession
OF the ball is not at all impor-
tant, and, consequently, the
canadian players can take all
sorts Of chances to pull off a long
run, since they are sure that II
they lose the ball # will be only
matter Of a few plays until they
again have possession of II,
whereas in the American inter
collegiate game, possession Of the
ball is so important that the
tendency is TO adopt only such
methods in advancing the ball as
are reasonably sure not to lose
any ground and on which there Is
little danger of fumbling.
The game between Carlisle and
the Canadians proved conclusively
that tackling and defensive tactics
have been more highly developed
in the states than in Canada.
since the Canadians were unable
10 gain ground consistently
against the American defense. II
is true that occasionally they
pulled off runs of from is TO 30
yards by means of their long side
passes, but 1t Is also true that
these tactics resulted in a loss of
ground to the Canadians more Of
ten than they succeeded, and.
therefore, 1t was proved to my sat
isfaction that such plays. al
though played by masters of the
art OF passing and handling the
bali, are too uncertain and danger
GUS 10 be of any advantage to our
own college teams.
In the Canadian rugby game any
kicked bah which goes over the
opponents goal line and is downed
there, and which would be called
touchback in our game, is
called a rouge" and counts one
point,
This method OF scoring" says
Warner, might have been adopt

this difficulty. Such a change
would have added to the scoring
ability of our teams without in
creasing the number Of downs in

also would have tended to keep

TONUS and Helne, the hrst
names, but Wagner the last,
are familiar wherever base
ball is discussed And Honus and
Heine are teaming together as two
of the greatest stars of the game,
past, present and maybe future.
Honus shortstops in the National
league for the Pittsburg Pirates.
and Heine shortstops in the Amer
lean league for the Boston Red
SoX, each in such a fashion that
he has no superiors.
In the winter time the ball fan
must be supplied with something
for conversation, and the figures of
Honus and Heine in their past form
an interesting dope yarn.
But who Is the star between Ho-
nus and Helne? Any major league
manager would offer a fortune for
either.
Honus Wagner a Veteran.
If the point of service were con
sidered. Hans would be picked at
the first moment, but when one
considers who will be playing the
longer it is almost certain that
Heine would be picked although
the aged veteran Of the Pirates
seems to be one ball player who can
go on forever without losing any

in 1874 contests. And Tor thirteen

longer.
So now IL can not be doubted
that Hans has the better Of the ar
