Y AcKsoN, MISS, Dec. 1s.-rhe

Z ACKSON, MISS, Dec. 19.-The
action of the Southern
- intercollegiate Athletic as
sociation in outlawing the Uni
versity Of Mississippi football
organization and putting up
the ban against Coach De-
Tray and Fletcher, a player of
the 1912 team has created no sur
prise and very little comment in
athletic circles.
In fact, the action of the S. l. A.
A. had been fully expected. and the
University OF Mississippi did not
make any effort to oppose it, real
iZing the hopelessness Of their
cause. After Ole Miss refused TO
play the Thanksgiving game with
the A. & NJ. college in jackson I'M
less Fletcher was allowed to play
with the team, It then became a
question Of how severe the S. I.
A. A. would be in it's censure. and
former university students are
bit surprised that the resolutions
we're not more caustic in tone.
What effect the action of the as

conjecture. 1t is certain. of course.
that there is no hope of reinstate-
ment In time for the 1918 season.
regardless Of what action may be
taken by the university authorities.
and up TO this time there seems to
be no sentiment In favor Of an
outlaw organization. In fact, Ole
Miss would make poor headway in
scheduling games with an outlaw
eleven, and the athletic leaders at
the university are well aware OF
this fact.
Among local members OF the
alumni association the opinion is
unanimous that the university fac
uity in charge Of athletics could
hardly have made a worse mess OF
things than they have succeeded in
doing. They literally jumped from

NEW YORK. Dec. 19.-Frank
" Farrell, owner of the Yam
KEGS, will make a ten-strike
in securing the services of Frank
Chance to manage his team, al
though the price demanded by
Chance-S20,000 a year-is the
largest ever paid to a baseball man
ager or player and. next to Ban
Johnsons $4,000 a year, the high
est ever paid to any man in base
ball.
The friends of the Yankees and
the American league in Greater
New York are a legion and they
virtually demanded that Chance
come here to take charge Of the old
hilltop aggregation.
The New York American club
here has been put under more or
less OF handicap by the rather I'M
favorable location of their grounds
heretofore and the transportation
facilities. But now that the Yam
KEGS are to play on the Polo grounds

p ERHAPS the most short sighted
thing the league did at its re-
cent meeting was to cut out the
provision that the salary limit didn't
stick for the first month of the
league season. That rule enabled
managers to try out ball players.
Anybody knows that you can't
tell a player by what he does in ex-
hibition games Atlanta has had
lot of cases. Bin Smith let Neal
BAH go because Neal had sore
arm and Bill didn't have any time
for experiments. Smith went along
with Castro at short and won
pennant. But the MONTGOMERY club
picked UP Ball, virtually for moth
ing. and made good money by SELL
ing HIM With a months trial this
money would have been kept where

on the other hand, there was the
case of Bill Viebahn. Tho giant
looked like the wonder OF the world
in exhibition games, only to slump
when the real test came.
Minor league teams must depend
for much of their profits OH devel-
oping ball players for sale to the
big leagues. Under the old rule,
managers had nearly twice the
chance TO discover real talent that
they have now. If the moguls are
wise, they will put this rule back in
force at their coming meeting.

perieuce as a National Lacquer,
viii take the position the coming
season as first catcher of the st.
Louis Cardinals.
This sudden rise of the young
ster to eninenco in the big show
has been brought about by reason
Of Roger Bresnahan's trouble with
the st. Louis club, the settlement of
which is still holding up Bresna-
han and the club in business af-
fairs that mean much to both.
But, even If the friction had not
occurred, Wingo was in line to be-
come one of the best baCkstops in
baseball by reason Of his ability
alone. There was no young player
in the National league who showed
more promise than the graduate
from the Carolina association.
Manager Bresnahan took 80 much
interest In his understudy last sea-
son that ne played him behind the
bat In % games and used him as
pinch hitter in eight moro games
In fact If was Bresuahan's conf
dence in the youngster and his de-
sire to develop him that caused
Roger 70 lay off more than the
president Of his club thought was
best for the teams standing in the
race. and that was made the basis
of the charge that the released
manager had not given the club his
most loyal efforts.

that Presnahan expected of him,
and that the new manager Of the

releasing Of the veteran backstop,

Higgins must surely have in
view the securing of another catch

Too Much Outside Advice.
The Yankees in years past have
not been run to the clubs adyau-
tage, ana neither to the teams
There has been altogether too much
advice given, and, most unfortu-
nately taken. Arthur Irwin. for
instance, is not popular with the
players. consequently he should be
kept as far away from them as
possible.
And, believe me, Manager Chance
VIII insist on that-or else he wifi
not be the manager.
The Yankees have been run in
haphazard way altogether too long
1t is common gossip that too many
taVoIites have been played. and
that breath OF scandal must be
eliminated. Frank Chance is the
man to do it o. l miss my guess.

Everything should be open and
above board. The sport sollcits
publicity. There is nothing under
cover about it, Frank Farrell
therefore, wants to cut out all the
advice (well meant. possibly, but
terribly insidious) from his too anX-
ious friends and allow Manager
Chance TO run his team as a one
man organization
Farrell has a business manager
in Arthur Irwin. Well, let Irwin
run his end, but nothing else
With Frank Chance as their real
manage, the Yankees will be a
genuine success, and this is as
sured, just so long as Chance is the
head of the club and the Polo
grounds their playing field.
There have been just three man
ageIs in the National league who
have been on top in the last eleven
years-McGraw, Chance and Clarke.
They are all "crabs" in their way,
but they fetch results. They are
all born leaders of men and have
