Wagner's Watch Tower

good showing with the team since he took charge the former Waterbury pilot will be retained next season F'ohl made remarkable record with vari- ous minor league clubs. He has the Cleveland players displaying lots of pepper, as those who saw them in ac- ton last Sunday at Newfie1d park can testify With the aid of some prom ising young material Fohl may be able to bring Cleveland out of the joke class next season.
 Sandy Ferguson, the Boston boxer, was all primed for match with Jim Coffey in New York but Sandy fool ishly got in the way of Sam McVey and was knocked cold at the Atlas A. C., in Boston last Tuesday night. Now Coffey will probably refuse to meet Ferguson, all of which shows that Sandy should have played safe.
 The Cleveland Americans have talk en over Pitcher sBrenton from the Cleveland club in the American as sociation. He was given a trial in the big leagues once before but didn't last.
 It is said that Catcher Ed Sweeney oe the New York Americans is headed for Indianapolis of the. American as- sociation. He will probably figure in the deal by which Pitcher ripple of the Indianapolis club comes to the Yankees.

Says Clinching Should
 Be Abolished in Ring

That c1inching should be altogether abolished from boxing is the conten- tioh of an English writer who advo- cates a change in the rules making it foul to embrace an opponent Rather a strange stand for a oountryman of Freddie Welsh to take. considering that it was in England the elading ex- ponent of the jab and grab style of boxing was handed the Ightwei ght title
 That boxing would be hundred fold more exciting if the clinch could be eliminated goes without saying. In that case practically every bout would be decisivef either ending in knock out or a disqualification. However, the idea obviously is impracticable for many reasons. Cinching is illegal under the present rules but the full penalty never is imposed, because to do so would make the sport a little too strenuous for safety The most followed by the best referees is to penalize the man who forces the clinch one point.
 Under this system the boxer who jabs and grabs gets no credit for his work, as the paint he scores for land ing the blow is offset by the penalty for clinching. If this style of judging bouts were followed more closely men of Welsl's type would be forced to box c1eanly in order to gain credit for a victory on points.
 The really great boxers have been those who never cHnched except as a last resort when too dazed and weak ened to block accurately or to use footwork. Under these conditions the cHnch is highly necessary, but as a general thing it should be discourag- ed as much as possible by imposing the penalty.
 While it is doubtless impossible to dispense with the clinch, it would be highly interesting to try the experi- ment. Perhaps two boxers can be found willing to put the matter to the test in a, trial bout. Such a contest certainly would prove great drawing card.

Phillies Say Braves
 Are Club They Have
 To Beat For.Pennant

The Philadelphia, National League club, which, has been leading the league for a long time, are. in as good position as anyone to get a slant at the pennant race and estimate the strength of the various clubs.
 They say it will be a fight between themselves and the Boston Braves, but not one of them will predict that the Phillies are going to win. They give Brooklyn and Chicago honorable test fight the old league has seen in a long time.
 eff we win we will have to beat Boston," said Bill KiIlifer, the iron armed catcher, in a discussion of the outlook. The club seems to havs hit a good stride and is getting better pitching than earlier in the season. ''s
 Brooklyn Wass suggested as a, con tender.
 Brooklyn looked dangerous when they were winning so many games at home,'' said Grover Alexander. the Phillie pitching mainstay, f'but we fg- ured they would drop when they hit the road.
 Chicago has a good looking club, but has been handicapped with play CTS getting crippled. We know what that means We had our fill of it for two or three seasonss
 Pat Moran. Philly manager, broke into the confab. By. jiminy, they all look good sometimes he said 'rWe've found ~Wes can't let up a, minute It's a case Of go as fas as you can all the way. The Boston club is getting bet ter pitching and the club is hitting. That's the most bothersome club. think, but the rest of 'em can't be overlooked
 Bert Niehoff, the second sacker, just about gave the consensus of opinion among the Philip players when he said: 'sWe look to have 8 chance. but you can't tell. There's only one thing certain about this thing and that is we're out there every day trying to win and if we win more than the other fellows, that'u be the answer

The Colonial league, the minor or ganization which the Federals thought would be a, world beater in this section, is gradually getting ready to fold up and quit. Al Bann- wart, the secretary whose actions have been mainly responsible for the present plight of the league, has sent in: his resignation to the Wards of Brooklyn, who are financing the league Bannwart wrote a very pathetic letter to Walter Ward, who lost no time in accepting the resigna- ton. The truth of the matter prob ably is that Bannwart was told to get his resignations ready because he was about to be fired anyway
 The Boston Red Sox seem to be stepping on the money in the Ameri- can league race. They improved their lead over Detroit yesterday by beat ing St. Louis twice while Washington was sIanming Detroit
 One of the players who will be seen here with the New York Giants next Sunday is Kelly. a first baseman from the Northwestern league who has re- gently reported to McGraw. Kelly stands six feet four inches and can hit the ball a mile. He is a nephew of Bill Lange, the old Chicago Fts"%'-

Games For Christmas Aft
6TT1OOil

Games fll in nicely the time "be-
tween the dark and the daylight on
Christmas afternoon. A "holly hunt
demands holly leaves cut out of green
paper and placed about the house in
plain sight, but in unusual places
Each child goes a-hunting the leaves
with a basket and the one who finds
the largest number receives a prize.
For a cranberry race each couple has
two bowls, one partly filed with
cranberries. Each person, using the
left hand, tries to see how many ber-
ries he can move from one bowl to
the other with a tiny spoon.
Envelopes filed with cut-up pictures
of Christmas scenes pasted on card
board and passed one to each person
give quiet fun. The contest is putting
the puzzles together and seeing who
can do it quickest.
A variation of the familiar donkey"
game is played as follows:
A large tree is drawn on paper and
fastened on the wall Pictures Of
Christmas gifts cut from advertise
ments and catalogues are distributed
among the guests. Each is blindfold-
ed in turn and tries to fasten the gift
on the branches Of the tree.
Some inexpensive prizes for Christ
mas contests are blOtterS, decorated
with holly in water colors or oil, and
butterfly needlebooks. Dainty bonbon
boxes may be made of water color pa
per or of cardboard covered with
Grape paper. These filled with home
made candy are always acceptable.

Christmas Game
For Very Little Ones

Little Jacky Bingo," often played
at Christmas parties, is a very simple
game and seems rather pointIess to the
Onlookers, but little children love it.
The players form a ring, with one
left out to be Little Jacky Bingo.
Jacky walks round outside the ring.
The players call out:
'Who is that walking round my
stony WALTZ?
Jacky answers, "Only Little Jacky
Bingo."
The players: Don't you steal one of
my fat pigs"
Jacky: 81 stole one last night, and
I'll steal another tonight; so come
along"
Then Jacky touches some one in the
ring, who has to fall out and walk be-
hind him. So the game goes on, the
players falling in one behind another
till at last Jacky has them all.

up, carried and dropped into the stock
ing with the wooden spoon. OF course
each player is given a certain stock
ing, which he or she labors to fill, re-
ceiving no assistance from any one
else. A certain number Of apples, ac-
cOrding to size, is agreed On for each
stocking before the fun begins.
The player who is first Of the six
to fill his or hers is winner Of that par
ticular round and is entitled to draw
for the prize, the unsuccessful five be-
ing barred.
When six have raced another half
dozen take their places, and so on.
The game is a screaming farce
throughout and cannot fail to be Jolly.

CHRISTMAS
CANES y
AND SPORTS
Trying to Fill the Stocking

a LIVELY scramble game, fine for
"A Christmas time, is played by
stretching a clotheSline across
the room and pinning heavy worsted
stockings to it with clothespins. A
basket of rosy apples is provided and
as many wooden spoons tied with holly
ribbon as there will be players con-
testing at once. Six is a good number,
for the ordinary sized living room will
hardly accommodate more than half a
dozen lively contestants at one time.
The object is to see which of the six
can soonest fill his or her stocking with
the apples, which have to be dipped
