'HUeA|E JENNINGS
NOT AFTER FED JOB
Says independents Arc Using His
Name 70 Advertise Their
Organization

New York. Dec 2.--Hughie Jen-
nings. manager of the Detroit Tigers,
in person exploded a newspaper hoax
sent out of Chicago today to the ef-
feet that he would manage the New
York team OF the Federal League.
This Chicago story attributed to Harry
F. Sinclair, Of the Newark FederAls
the assertion that Jennings was slated
for the job of plotting the Gotham
outlaws. Also 1t connected Sinclair as
one of the principal hackers of the
local independent enterprise.
Il do not know where that ab.
surdity originated said Hughie rs he
was about to leave for his Scranton
homo tonight. But it Is a pipe dream
pure and SIMPLE. / do not propose to
allow the Federal League to advertise
itself through me. have never re-
ceived any offer from the Federal
League, and would not consider one II
did--not even IL they offered me my
league to turn traitor to organized

Il am perfectly satisfied with my
lot In Detroit" continued Jennings.
Il am under contract to Frank J.
Navin, the club president. Our rela-
tons are most cordial. I would not
desert him II j were free to do eo.''
Jennings explained that he was In

yesterday said.
Rather late for a challenge OF this
kind, don't you think? You know our
team has broken training ana
would not care to have the men en-
saSe in hard contest without proper
preparation. The Pitt challenge can
hardly be considered at this time.
They have a good team. and II they
claim the championship. guess the
matter will have to rest there
Personally. IL all conditions were
satisfactory. I guess . post-season
game could be played But there il
another matter to he considered. You
know Cornell was not allowed to play
off tie in the intercollegiate Basket
hall League some time ago. The pub
lie wanted to see Cornell and Column
bia get together, but the faculty would
rot listen to such a proposition The
faculty would undoubtedly object to
su.h a game even II we wanted to get
together and arrange It. You probably
know that football IL not the only
thing at Ithaca"
We agree with Mr.. sharpe that
football is not the only thing At Cor
nell. Only too we'll do We remember
a certain track team that came to
Franklin Field last spring and a GER
tain crew that rowed at Pough-
keepsie.
Probably ii is best that this game
is not played, for the ball now rests
in midfeld with Cornell and Pitt both

LONG DISTANCE KICK
RECORD IS DISPUTED

Since the opening Of the football
season, and the sensational sixty-four-
yard dropkick was made BY Mark
Payne. OF Dakota Wesleyan, there
haa been much discussion regarding
the longest field goal ever made. A
New York scribe declared that
Haxall, OF Princeton, who II credited
with making tho longest field goal on
record, had made his kick from the
thirty 1--WE yard line instead OF the
sixty-1ve yard mark. a. stated. A
typographical error was blamed for
the mistake.

Gus family Of Princeton 1rtdiron
heroes who played in that historic
game between Yale and Princeton In
1852, declares that Haxali kicked his
goal from the sixty Ave yard line. In
a letter to Parke Davis. Poo states
that he has clippings to prove that
Haxail made his record kick. and also
claims that HAxall tried . placement
kick from his own twenty-yari line,
or ninety yards, after a fair catch, and
that the ball just fell short OF the
mark.
