''Wild Bill" Donovan is to manage
the New York Yankees next year. II
Colonel Rupert gets the club. Maybe
so; but If Messrs. Farrell and Devery
retain control of the Yanks a big
manager of prominence will hold the
reins over the team.

Harvard has changed her football
schedule again. She has dropped
Michigan and Washington and Jeffer-
son and she has added Cornell and
the Carlisle Indians. Harvard doesn't
want any more trouble than necessary
next year. She is going to lose some
good men, but her new material Is
believed to be very good. In break
ing relations with Michigan she has
not made a hit. The westerners gave
her all she could do to beat them, and
Washington and Jefferson was a most
worthy opponent The Crimson eleven.
however, will have Princeton and
Yale to beat. That will keep her busy
enough. without having to worry
over Michigan and Washington and
Jefferson, although Cornell and Car
Isle are almost as formidable

Tom McCarty is being touted as a
winner over Gunboat Smith in their
fight billed for tomorrow night at the
Empire A. c. In New York. McCarty
himself Is very confident and talks of
knocking out the Gunboat before the
ten-round limit. Smiths fight with
Jim Coffey last week didn't add to his
reputation any. He will have to do
some decisive winning to get back In
public favor.

New York has been fishing after for
weeks A dispatch says that Mike
Gibbons and Jimmy Clabby have
been matched to fight in the WILSON,
sin city. This should be the most
discussed bout In years. Clabby has
shown some form and he is consider
ed to have an even chance with
Gibbons. The men are to battle on
the percentage basis. and the weight
limit Is 1853 pounds ringside. The
match should draw $4,000 In Mil
waukee. 1t would draw as much as
that in New York.

Word comes that Jim Savage is
going to fight again--to fight Howard
Morrow at the Federal A. c., on the
Bowery, Christmas afternoon. All
those who are going to lose their tur-
key dinner to see this fight will please
raise their right hand. Morrow is a
fairly clever fellow, but is not as
good a man as Tom McCarty, who
so easily defeated Savage. Jim is
said to have been training hard and
Is prepared for the Morrow bout. We
hope there will be no excuses after
this bout. If Savage wins he should
be given full credit, for it isn't often
that Jim is first under the wire.

writing about the actions of some
Of the fans during the closing hour
Of the six-day race, a patron of
cycling has the following to say:
J. p. NJ:
With reference to the scene which
attended the finish OF the six-day
race Saturday, I believe strong pro-
test is called for-not on account of
any action of the officials or riders,
but of those few know -alls" who
felt themselves better able to Judge
the result of the race than those ap-
pointed to do SO, and showed their
lack of knowledge of tho first prin-
ciples of decency in refusing to allow
the announcer to tell us the result as
determined by the judges.
To the credit of the majority of
those present let it be said that the
number of offenders was in COM
parison small, although these indi-
viduals were large of mouth.
1 demonstrated with my neighbor
for continually shouting, I'VE don't
want to hear it," pointing out that
even if he didn't, we (the vast ma
jority) did, and that in any case the
was not the one who had
decided the finish, but was merely
employed to tell us the judges de-
cision. Such demonstrations as this
tempt decent people to. declare that
If they are to be numbered with the
class that did all the shouting a BIZ
cycle race Is no place for them.
In closing, let me say that while
