RED HEADS NUMEROUS
 IN BIG LEAGUE CLIJRS

Redheadedness is synonymous with baseball. You have been to the ball games and probably have become red headed, so to speak, more than once when that individual behind the plate renders a decision which seems out of order to your way of thinking. Ball players get redheadsd: go do um- pires; but 1t is the redheads. young men with flaming red locks, who are doing their share to make our great national pastime an interesting as well as instructive sport.
 Tn baseball we have a numher of tinctive tone to the game. Two Of our best leaders are redheaded. Hughey Jennings of Detroit and Chas. Dooin of the Phillies. Also 1t Is well to note that basebalfs most expensive bric-a-brac. Marty oToole, who cost the Pirates s22r BOO. Is a redhead.
 Another flaming locked player is Mike Mowrey, g teamrnate of Marty. They say that when Ivy Wingo of the Cardinals removes his chapeau the sun goes into retirement. Clarence and Ernest Walker and Roche. of the St. Louis Browns, also are redhead+ ed. and so is Leon Alnes of the cin- cinnati Reds. The Cubs have Red Corrigan and Red wiiliams, and the White Sox have Red Kuhn. Detroit has Red Mckee and Washington Bob Groom, a pitcher with a little fringe left. Then right here in New York. there is Red Murray of the Giants and Red Smith of the Brooklyns.
 The Yankees have no real redheads but Manager Chance often has occa- sion to get "redheaded" SC he can be olassed as one. too.

TWO NEW PLAYERS
 SIGNED IN NEW YORK

Contracts from a pair Of nedsling tossers, who will try to win fame in merry Gotham next summer. were re- ceived at the offices of the two Man haitian clubs yesterday. Both young steFs won their spurs in the Virginia, s1seague last season. Charles w. Piaz Sweet Feas1 ,an outfelder from Rich mond, has signed with the Giants, and Guy Cooper, a right-handed slab ar list from Petersburg. has accepted the probationary contract sent him by they ankeez
 Sweet Piez is one of the exten- sive colony of Giant ol1tflelders and his speed in the Old Dominion circuit enabled him to get q. look at a Giant contract.
 He took part in 110 games with Richmond and purloined 72 cushions. This is eithers5a great boast for MT. Piez's speed or it speaks Lad for. Vir- ginia League catchers.
 While Mr. Piez's speciality is speed on the bases, MT. Guy C~oper's chief stock in trade is speed in whipping the pill over the plate. Cooper stood third among Virginia League pitch CTS, his right-handed shoots enabling him to cash in sixteen victories against i've defeats.
 Cooper Is oniy a cafzow youth, and has another year to wait before he can cast the ballot. He is 20 years old, but a pretty good-sized boy for his age. When his measurements were last taken he was six feet one inch tall and weighed 1s5 pounds. Cooper's home is in Berkeley, Va

GEORGE CHIP IS
 VERY PROUD OF
 BEING CHAMPION

New York. Jan. 1o.-.sAdiddIe weight champion Of the world.'' what a world Of joy that title brings to the heart of George Chip, the Madison miner. who knocked Frank Klaus out last week for the second time. Conn pared to the sound and the distinc- ton of 1t. all other mundane emolu- ments are secondary in the. estima- tion Of the Lithuanian lion.S is To a lighter the word champion ie the sWwetest one in the language--if 1t is written after his name There are so few championships to pass around that they are indeed a prize to those who are lucky enough to. gain them. .@ George Chip has had engraved cards printed with the mystic title im- pressed thereon. He gives them to hia friends and aeauaiptances. He all ways has his pockets filled with the pastaboards
 The day after the second Klaus fight someone called over the phone for Chip in the NewsiI hotel. Pitteburg George anstvered tAe call. 'Who Is this 2, repeated George in reply to the question asked by the party on the other end of the line. This is the middleweight champion of the world. =
 That shows you how the possession of the title affects Chip. His vanity has been pleased-his athletic vanity which, in the main sense is no. differ ent from the vanity of a successful corporation head. He has reached the diflcult station, .Success.,a and he is ti3zzled silly oxeBrthe sfack..-s
 He is not swef-headad or anything like that; hess skuowszstps much. Per- sonally he is the game good fellow, but the acquisition of the silks of fame has just made him entirely sat- isfed with himself.
 After knocking out Klaus for the second time last weak. Chip sat with a party of friends in his room and talked fight until the early hours of the morning, The emile of victory never left his face. And when he rose the next morning 1t still rested on his pugilistic features.

 Tn the first Tntercoil egiate league game played this season, the r ale bas- kethail team trimmed the heavier Dartmouth aggregation by a. score of 26 to 20 at the Yale Gym last night. The play was featured during the
 first half by some splendid team work and clever passing by the Ellis. who had the Green Mountain boys conn pleteIy. bewiidered most Of the time by their concentrated attack and fast floor work,
 Olsen. a freshman playing for the first time this season, starred in the goal shooting line for Yale. caging the ball for a goal from the floor on four different occasions, while the work of Captain Dunn on the defence was as good as any seen. at the Gym this season. Sission and Captain Snow shone for Dartmouth. but there was a tendency towards individual play on the part of the visitors who were also noticeabiy weak in their passing and team work. Tn this respect they were completely outplayed by the Yale play

SkoNETGHY WAS CAUGHT
 BY FRANK CORRIDON

Ed Konetchy Is authority for a yarn about Frank Corriden, the for- lsier Springfield manager, when the latter was pitching for the Philadel- plaia Nationals, It seems that Ko- netchy and Corrfden had had some thing of an argument about the pifctv er's ability to catch a runner off first base and finally Corriden bet a box of cigars with Konetchy that he would nab any runner that the big first basernan might name. Konetchy then named himself And added What are you going to do if I can't get a hit 7'' Pass you." was corridenss re- s60nse
 And so it happened that Konetchy failed to get a hit and the game progressed along to the ninth inning. Thep Corridor gave the first base man base on balls. The duel be- tween the two then started. Konetchy WIS confident that Corridor could not get him and continually taunted the pEtcher- Finally in a brief playing ok the batter. CorrIdea suddenly whipped the ball over to first and Konetchy was caught fat-footed. Ko- netchy was so surprised that he willingly produced the cigars.

 From Chicago last, night came a statement by President James A. Gtl- more Of the Federais which should put a uuietus on the Dasibert story.
 esI will not permit any club in the Federal League to sign Jake pau- bert, said the Federal executive. He is under contract with a major league club, and the Federal Iseaf1le NaH not take any signed players. We recognize the validity of the major league icon- tract, but not the reserve clause.

SPRINTER ROBINSON
 Il MAY ENTER EXETER

Exeter, N. H., Jan 1o--Arthur S. Robinson of Westboro, Mass, Mer- cersburg's crack spri1lter, arrived here "Wednesday with the incoming stu dents who are returning to the aca- deuly after their Christmas vacation, and has applied for admission to the New Hampshire prep school
 As yet nothing definite has been given out as to whether he will be al- lowed to enroll. The matter rests en- tireIy with the faculty and his case will probably be decided soon. He will make a. valuable acquisition to the track team. which Is short of fast short-distance runners, and if he gets into school will be at once set to work with Trainer Connors' aspirants for honors on the boards this winter. It is said that the Mercersburg student was suspended for disregarding the $ o'clock rule at that school.
