FARRELL SAYS
 DAVIS WILL NOT
 MANAGE YANKEES

Frank J. Farrell, president of the New York American League Baseball Club, will go very slowly in selecting a, manager to succeed Harry WoIver- ton He has become thoroughly tired of having to change the leadership every season and this time hopes to be able to make such a wise selection as to remove all mana geriaI worries for years to come.
 Farrell denies that he has opened negotiations with anyone and brands as false the rurnors that connect Frank Chance and Harry Davis as possible favorites with him.
 q have never spoken to Frank Chance" said the Hilltop magnate yesterday. '<Nor have I directly or indirectly offered to pay him SIS, 900 a year for a term of five years to man age my team-s Chance is the prop erty of the Chicago club and the Ma tional League, for which reason it would be a violation of baseball law for me to make a proposition of any kind to him.
 Davis has not been here to talk with me about securing the manage ment. I haven't seen nor heard from him since he was here with the Cleve- land club last summer. He will no; be considered.
 At the present time have no idea who will be my next manager. I an. not in a hurry to make a selection

JACK JOHNSON IN JAIL CALLS
 FOR CHAMP ACNE.
First Demands That White Jailer Remove His Shoes Man Who Went on Bond Cited. in Contempt on Ground That He Was Not
 Qualified

Chicago, Nov. Slack Johnson, ne gro pugilist, awoke in cell sos, in the county jail, today. and wondered whether he would be able to. furnish $30, 900 bail which would meet the ap- proval of Federal Judge Landis. He also wondered what would be the out come of his trial on the charge of transporting a white woman across several State lines for immoral pur- poses-a violation of the Mann white slave law.
 There were those today who said that Judge Landis' action in sending Johnson to Jail was the first step in the process of retiring him from the prize ring where he is now the cham pfon of the world.
 Even the pugilist's friends admitted that from JohnSon's viewpoint the inn mediate future was a cIleefleSS propO- sition. Tt was known that evidence, in the eases of Belle Schrieber and Lucille Cameron. was in the hands of the district attorney.
 On the way to jail Johnson struck photographer The power full negro grinned when the deputy handcufred to him said:
 fsPleaSe, Jack, be gentle
 When he was seated in cell No. 50S, he called to the jailer, Tom Gordon, to take off his sa1 oes. Gordon flushed but remained silent. Johnson took off his own shoes.
 Bring me a box of cigars and a case of champagne, was the next or-i der from the prisoner. When I was in jail in California the gentlemen who were in charge of the place treated me like a prince, and I am prince, too. Amt I?''
 Pending action today is the case of Albert c. Jones, one of the men whom Judge Landis refused as a bondSTnan for Johnson. Jones must appear in court and show cause why he should not be cited for contempt for signing a, so, GOO bond when. according to the court, he was not qualified. The property which he sch eduIed had been deeded to his wife, according to Jones' own admission.

 New Haven Next Thursday.
 Word has been received from Dodo Maher's camp in New Haven that he is fast rounding into shape for his ten round bout with Al Ketche1 before the Liberty A c. at Eagles hall on next Thursday evening. Dodo has an idea that he will not have any difn- culty in getting the decision over Ketchel again but he does not intend the pink Of condition when he steps into the ring.
 Dodo has one big kick in his make up and anyone that gets in front of who is training at Captain Bonds, is confident that he will trim Dodo and he does not fear the right hand which the New Havener will try to put Al into dreanland with. This go ought to be one of the best seen here in some time, and Mafler will bring a large number of admirers with him
 Another bout which will attract the interest of all the fans is the one be- tween Red Jewell of this city and Rouse O'Brien of New York. It will friends who have not seen him in action since last winter will have an opportunity to see how he has inn proved. O'Brien is a clever boy and can hit hard with either n,itt-

 Harvey Russell the Bridgeport back stop whose fatal beauty wrought great havoc among the girls last season, has discovered a crack pitcher fer the Me- chanics. He has written to Secre- tary Heddy from his home in Mar shall Va Harvey states that the pitcher is a college boy who has made big reputation in Virginia. He has received an offer from Washington but prefers to start his career with q minor league club where he can get regular work. The management will not give out the tWirler's name until he is signed
 Russell writes that last spring this college wonder pitched against Rixey, the Philadelphia star, and beat Rfxey to 0. Rixey was pitching for the University of Virginia at the time Russell, is now attending college and will be able to give the battery sig nals in Latin when he reports for spring practice.

came close to ending the scrap in the third round when he had Man6ot in
 pretty bad shape. but the youngster was able to weather the storm and came strong at the finish.
 If Joseph had a chance to scop'' the
 honors, how about Willie Ritchie? It
 seems to me Willie gave Mandot an
 artistic walloping a few months ago, and in Joe's home town at that While
 don't think there is much danger of Wolgast losing his title in the very
 near future. if a newcomer is on the cards tos turn the trick, I rather fancy
 his name will be Rftchie, not Mandot
 or Rivers.
 Jack Johnson'e ring career is over apparently as a result Of his late es-
 capades. There does not seem to be a
 chance for him to fight again in any country where the sport fourishes. Hugh Mcintosh has turned him down and Australia looked to be his last some white man take the title from
 Johnson in honest battle. still it's for the good of the game that he has been barred
 Tom McCarey. the Los Angeles pro- moter. argues that Johnson, having been deposed by public sentiment, 1t is up to him to find successor and with that end in view has arranged series of white heavyweight battles for the winter months. He has already signed battle over the twenty round distance for substantial purse and diamond studded belt ernblematic of the lilly white championship.
 McCarty will be put to severe test in the Flynn battle, and his future is at stake on this one bout. If he wins, Luther will be acciaimed the real are to be erased from competition fail to see the significance of that high sounding title. With a .-slugger Of the Flynn type and a raw mixer like McCarty there doesn't appear to be a chance for the bout to go the limit Billy. GcGasney, Awho looks after sLu- ther's affairs, must have world of confidence to pit this green lad against the veteran Flynn
 It doesn't seem fair to bar Langford or Jeannette from participation in a tourn a1nent arranged to dispose of the title. Especially so as Johnson, a negro, won the title fairly from Jeffries. While personally op- posed to contests between whites and blacks where titles are concerned, this is an exceptional case and as long as a negro was given a chance to win it, there is but one way to take the title from the race, and that is to win it with f1ve-0unce gloves. With Johnson barred, let tJeannette for Langford, the best of the blacks, take his place as representative of the race. Then if a white man can beat the negro he can claim the championship will all honors per taining thereto, whereas a title won in McCarey's tourney will have flaw in it. As my friends know, T. am no in this particular case the plan sug- gest is the only fair way to play the game.
