mosphere and the big ship, In charge
Of a IDIOT, proceeded slowly on her
way to sea. At midnight the pilot left
near Father Point, shouting merry
bon voyage as he went down a lad

The darkness at this time was in
tense and the ship under the slowest
speed possible with steerageway held
her course. Her decks were deserted

WELSH PICKS SHUGRUE 10
 BEAT WHITE


 Charlie White, of Chicago, and U oe Shugrues of Jersey City, meet in a ten round battle in New York tomorrow night. Shugrue rules a to 5 favor ite, but White has plenty of packers and they are grabbing all the money they. can get at these odds. The Windy City lad has been fighting like 8 champion lately, winning more than half of his recent battles by knock outs
 Freddie Welsh, the worlds light weight champion, has picked Shugrue to win. The Englishnan has fought both boys. He says. that the Jersey City lad will win if he forces White. The latter declares that if shugrue will do the leading he will promise to knock Joe out
 Joe shugrue is quoted as follows regarding his chances:

SALE OF YANKEES
 TO BE DECLARED
 ON OR OFF TODAY

New York, Dec. 2s-This looks as if it would be the "big'' day in baseball so far as the much-sold New York Americans are concerned, for the par ties interested in the buying and sell ing of the club met. today, at which time it is expected the Yankees will change hands again, but this time likely for Keeps. s
 Frank Farrell and HBig Bill'' Dew cry with Col Jacob Ruppert and Capt. Huston in Col. Ruppertss office early today talked over the situation, so by nightfa1l the deal for the club, which has been pending. for some time, may be completed.
 Farrell las declared that he will not sell his club for less than $500 GOO, but it does not seem to many baseball men as if this were the stumbling block in the negotiations. Capt. Illus ton intinated Saturday after the meet ing that something of a definite na- ture would be done today.
 It is likely that certain data which Col. Ruppert and Capt. Huston. are anxious to see will be furnished by the Yankee owners. It is almost cer- lain that the deal will either be closed or dropped within the next few days. The wouId-be purchasers of the Yan- kees are optimistic over their chances of obtaining control of the club.

 The baseball season had just ended. Shanks, at that time, was playing flor the Hast Liverpool eO.) team. Shanks beat it over to Monaco, Penn, just across the river from East Liverpool there.
 The examination of shanks was made at the solicitation of the Pitts burgh club, which thought 3. lot of Shankss skull but was sceptieal about his general health. When the doctor s report was submitted, the Pirates, of course, gave up all thoughts of snar- ing Shanks.

 Shanks had q good season in 1911 with East Liverpool; went to Youngs- town, O., in 1918. and graduated from the minors the next season. going to Washington, where he has been since.
 Shanks wasn't the only star that the Pirates have passed up. Barney Dreyfus; owner of the Pirates, had a chance to sign Iris Speaker. the won derfu1 Red Sox outfelder, who then was in the minors. The deal was all ready to go through when Dreyfus learned that Speaker smoked cigar cites. ;.

 Whereupon the Red sox secured Speaker and he became the sensation Of the American league. He ranks today. despite the fact that he smokes cigarettes, as one of the greatest out ifelders the game ever has known

WALTER CAMP IN
 FAVOR OF NUMBERS
 FOR FOOT TBALL MEN

4 Walter Camp, Yale athletic advisor and member of the Football Rules committee comes forward with the announcement that few changes in the rules of the great college game are necessary for next season. In- stead of calling a meeting of the committee to discuss possible changes, MT. Camp suggests that MT. B. K Hall, of Dartmouth, get a mail vote of the fourteen members, in whose hands was the wording of the rules last season, to go over the rules, make such alteration in wording as will am swer the various queries brought up during the season.
 He further suggests that this re- wording be submitted to the commit tee for vote by mail. MT. Camp also advocates the numbering of play CTS and it is pretty certain that the Yale authorities will meet with the puhHcss demand next season this much-nooted question

Bartelme, director of ath- 1ettcs at the University of Michigan, that goes far to clear up the liar vard-Miehigan football situation. A purported interview with MT. Bar telme, published a few days ago, in dicated that there was considerable refusal of the Harvard football au- 1915.
 In his letter MT. Barte1me disclaims all statements on the subject and con- firms in every detail the Harvard yer sion of the negotiations, in which there was never any more than ex- pression kof hope for the arrangement of 1915 game.

JESS WILLARD, THE NOTORIOUS SsWHITE
 HOPE, 27 TOMORROW

P.nfsW atomic county, Kansas, nas peyers loomed very luminous m tne pages of past history put Just oae wear hence come tomorrow, the peo- ple inhabitating that county expect eo hold a great celebration commemo- rating the birthday of native son who has achieved a place in the sun of fame For the morrow VIII marx tn stwenty-seventh anniversary or the lirtt1 in said county of the SunT4oWer State of Jess Willard, the notorious sswhite hope" who has been matched to practice the rites of his peculiar profession with one Jack JohnsoH. Many sporting men in other parIs en- certain doubts whether the aII1tuon- ot1s less. in case he actually meets rack will be able to triumph over his dI,slxy opponent, but PottaWatonTe county sports entertain no such n1ls- giyings. It is rumored that one Pottawatornie p1ungef-g has aIready wagered fifty cents against df1ne that Willard will win if he fights Johnson. and other big bets are being arranged. Jess will carry a lot of Pottawatomie county money 1T he ever. gets into the ring with the worlds champion.
 Willard was a cowboy before ne started out to disarrange= the maps or his fel1owmen. He spent days in punching fracuous steers and the nights in growing. Every morning he found that he had gained an inch or two during the night, and the process didn't stop until he had gained an altitude of six feet and seven inches above the sea level He has reach of eighty-three and a half inches, and weighs about 235 pounds when in condition.
 It was about four years ago that Willard started fighting in the ring. His first match was with Louis Fink, at Sapupa, Okla. and he lost on a foul. Later he fought Fink in Okla hona City and put him to sleep in the 3rd round During 1911 Willard took part in eight battles, all in Oklahoma, and won all but the first, five of them by knockouts The next year Jess set out for the east, and made a good showing against Luther McCarty and Arthur Pelky in New York, besides knocking out Soldier Kearns and oth- CT .shopes.''
 Wi1Iard's first twenty-round en- gagement was with Gunhoat. Smith in San Francisco last year. The big Kansan had a bad case of stage fright, to all appearances, and the Gunboat got the decision, but Smith didn't have anything to brag about, and q aot of auorts Thought EaIlard
