Joe Fogler says the only thing thai
rests between ALI Goullet and the
American sprint championship is
Trainer Jack Neville. Goullet, by the
way. has Neville working for him in
the Newark six-day race, and it may
be that ne will have him when the
summer season comes around. Fogler
says. with Neville in Gouliet's camp,
Frank Kramer will be all at sea, and
that Gouiiet will win the champion
ship for a certainty.
Neville has always been big asset
for Kramer" Fogler said. HE
'bulied' Frank and he jolled him
and ne put heart in him when. he
went out on the track to ride. With
Neville in Goullet's camp. Kramer
would miss all this and 'Goullie'
would beat him sure for the title"
Fogler said that he thought GoulIet
would be able to get Neville, because
he will pay the price" Mory Gordon,
who used to train Goullet, is now a.
free lance He has Cameron and
Kaiser In the six-day race, but 1t is
believed he viii have Bob Spears next
summer.

Mayser has not been mentioned rs
the new pro coach of Princeton.
those who are working out the des-
tines of the Tiger football team could
go a thousand times farther and not
fair half SO well. Tt may be that
Mayser is being considered, and II SO
we hope he gets the job. He is sure
ly in mind at least, for he is to talk
before the local Princeton Club at the
Essex Club on Friday night. Mayser
has been a success as a coach, and
it is bis ambition to some day lead
one of the big colleges in athletics.
As a football coach he has made his
mark, but he is not a Princeton man,
and 1t is understood that Prince
ton man Is desired.

The claim is made that Colonel
Rupert has really purchased the
New York Yankees, but that the
time isn't ripe to make the official
announcement. The price 10 said to
have been S450,oOo, and the deal was
admitted by the colonel, it is said,
because of the strenuous efforts OF
the Federal League to interest Rup-
pert in the OUTLAW" enterprise.
When President Gilmore learned
that the colonel was not DESTROYS of
going into baseball he made IT his
business to seek an interview, but
like the pardon, ne came too late.
In trying TO corral Rupert the Feds
have shown their desire to get into
New York and it would not be sur
prising II Gilmore were to dig up a
live one" to put his money into the
game in Gotham.
O.
Hugfie Jennings. as manager OF the
New York Yankees. would be the most
pleasing announcement that could be
made. judging the nice things that
are being said about the famous
leader of the Tigers. Hugh Is just
the sort OF fellow for New York. He
is another John McGraw-only he
lacks a few of the Objectionable fea-
lures of the great leader Of the
Giants. Jennings is a fighter and
hard worker and his pleasing person
atty would be big asset to the
Yanlzs. It may be that Hughie will
never be the manager Of the New
York club, but Ban johnson could
scour the country over and not find
his equal. Jennings belongs to the
Detroit club and he Is duty bound TO
stick to his friend, Frank Navin, who
has treated him literally and who hae
stuck by him loyalty, from all ac-
counts. II is not known, either,
whether Jennings wants to go to New
York, and it Is not believed that he
would be able to leave Detroit for a
year at least. AS matters stand, Jen-
nings has a grand chance to win the
American League pennant. The Ath-
letics have been busted up and Wash
ington, minus Walter Johnson, Is out
Of all calculation. Detroit looks very
good, with Boston about the only
team to beat. Jennings In New
York would be tremendous hit, all
right, but such good things do not
come to pass at the bidding. Detroit
