The very name Kid Mccoy has a
greater pugilistic flavor than any 9TH
er of the prize ring. The mere mem
tioning Of it always sets in motion a
reel of mental moving pictures of
many battles. But Kid McCoy-Mr.
Norman Selby himself-dispels all
the illusions of conflict. He is the
same imWaculate kid. white and re-
lined looking as Of old. n just as
foxy, no doubt.
Mccoy probably had more brains
than any other fighter of his time.
and. what is more. he used 'em-both
in and out Of the ring-and some
times in ways that were dark and in
tricks that were vain. He knew
every trick of the squared circle and
invented most of the ones We see SO
clumsily attempted today. The IA
corkscrew punch. which ne
worked so fatally. was his invention.
and SO arc many of the present day
rules and mean of training.
In the ring Mccoy was a marvel.
Cold. eXpressionless. and white. the
Kid looked like a tatuo Of marble
in the ring and when he moved II
was with a silent swiftness and ac-
curacy that was uncanny. And he
could hit! Although virtually a mid
delweight. his associates within the
ropes comprised many heavyweights.

kAVANAUCH CASE
TO COMMISSION
Three Leagues in Snarl over
One Player-The Minor
Board Sidesteps it

+. Chicago, Nov. 21.-At the Columbus
meeting of the Minor league board of
arbitration a queer case came up, in
volving the American, Wisconsin-Illi-
nois and Federal leagues. The board
promptly sidestepped it and referred
it to the National commission. The
case is that of Outfielder kavanaugh.
a Chicago lad who signed with the
Green Bay team Of the Wisconsin, H.
linois league, passed up his contract
to play with the Chicago Federal
league team last season, was injured
and released. then Sold to the White
Sox by the Green Bay team. to which
he reported, and now claims
one-quarter of the purchase price paid
to the Green Bay club. The National
board took n slant at the different
angles and passed it up to the su-
preme court Immediately.
A Queer TangIc.
Here are some of the tangles. Ka-
vanaugh claims the contract with
Green Bay. which was not binding on
live up to it, is binding on the Green
Bay club because it contained a
clause whereby he was to receive one
fourth Of any coin received for his
purchase or draft. Comiskey paid
$4,000 for the player, sc kavanaugh's
claim is for 1925. Although claiming
that part Of the contract valid, Kava-
naugh does not claim any salary from
the Green Bay club under the salary
clause of the same document. He
was paid by the Federal league team
for a few weeks after he was hurt,
then released.
.Commy Bought Pig in Poke.
The player automatically became
ineligible when he failed to report to
Green Bay and lost all standing in or
ganized baseball until he has applied
for and received a reinstatement,
which has not been done. The Green
Bay club sold TO Comiskey a player
who was Ineligible and not in its serv-
ice. and for that offense is liable for
a fine. Comiskey purchased Il pig in
a poke and never has got anything for
his $4,000.

Both Des Jardien and Schulz We're

and ready for the game Of his life
when the final football practice Of the
year was completed yesterday by n
University of Wisconsin team. The
squad was put through a long course
Of secret work, with little in h way
q fscrimmage, and none of the play
ers has any injury worse than a
bruise. Twe~nty-seven men will COM
prise the squad which goes to Chicago.
The first men, those with first call
on regular positions. left this morning
for Chicago. and will hav a final sig
nal practice in Chicago this after
noon, to take out travel stiffness. and
keep them up to the mark for the
game Saturday. The rest of the squad
will go in the afternoon. Although
odds are . to on Chicago. wiscon-
sin supporters think they have better
than an even chance Of victory. The
Badgers with two weeks rest will
have the advantage over the Chicago
players. bruised by their game against
the husky Minnesota eleven last week.

No other business organization or

We are told that few years ago
one of Americas Big Circuses was
exhibiting in Europe and that wher-
ever possible the standing armies of
Germany, France, Italy, were made
to witness the unloading, setting up,
tearing down and reloading again one
OF these monster aggregations
These Europeans said it could not
be done - hat it was a physical inn

never miss performance. The dis

Sulgrave Manor as q Memorial
from the New York Tribune

iom me New 1ork Tribune.
Americans will regard with grateful in
terest the progress Of the movement in
England to purchase Sulgrave Manor as
a national memorial of Washington.
There could scarcely be more appro-
pirate achievement in connection with the
celebration Of the centenary Of peace.
There are many places in England
which are more or less intimately asso-
ciated with the history Of the Washington
family. but no other of them rivals in
interest the old Northamptonshire manor
which was the home of the maternal
grandparents of George Washington. In
the little parish church the bodies of
those ancestors were buried and above
their grave was erected a memorial brass
tablet bearing those arms of the family
escutcheon of the United States and
from which some have enormously and
unthinkingly supposed the Stars and
Stripes to have been copied A similar
Washington memorial in Little St Mary
Church. Cambridge, presents still more
marked resemblance to the American
escutcheon.
The manor house and church at Sui.
grave have long been the goal Of many
patriotic pilgrims. The purchase Of the
former and its perpetual preserva tiou
would encourage and facilitate such visit
ing and would make of it one of the mos,
noteworthy of international shrines. /,
would also establish an additional bond
of sympathy and sentiment between the
two countries through their mutual re.
gard for the man who was at once the
greatest American and one of the great
est Englishmen of his time.
