TANNEHILL A PILOT.

Old Lee Tannehill, for many years an inf1elder with the White Sox, finds 1t difficult to give up the old game. Leeford slipped back into the minors several years ago. This year he pas- timed with the South Bend club of the Central League, and acted as manager during the latter part of the season. Fanny was born in Dayton, Ky, thir- ty-six years ago to-day. In taking up baseball as a profession he follow ed in the footsteps of his older broth CT, Jesse, who was also a star in the big show for a number of annums. Lee played in Richmond, Selma, Ala, Minneapolis, Colorado Springs and Louisville prior to joining Comiskey' s crew in 1903. He started as a short stop, but later was used more frequent ly at third, although at tir:aes he play ed all the infield positions. His stick work was rather poor, but in that re- spect he only qualified for member ship in a club celebrated as the Init less wonders Lee was on the Co., miskey pay roll for ten years.

PRINCETO CAN'T
 USE. MOORE FOR DARTMOUTH GAME

Princeton, Oct. 26-From present indications Princeton will not have the services of Myre, Haas and La trobe in the Dartmouth game on Sat urday. Keene Fitzpatrick, the trainer, refused to allow Billy Moore, the varsity half back, to get into the scrimmage, which John Rush, the head coach, announced as the last be- fore the game with the Green team. After the practice Rush said he would not use Moore on Saturday. Latrobe has not been out in togs for almost a week, and there is no possibility of his playing. Halsey was at the right tackle position, and is almost certain to start in the game Saturday. Halsey charges strongly and gets through the line quickly, but is not a fast runner, and has difficulty in stopping the end plays. McGraw was at the other tackle position in McLean's place.
 Hold that ba1l'' was the slogan of the coaches in yestrday's practice, and the Tiger backs had these words ringing in their ears every time they got their hands on the ball. Conse- quently there were few fumbles. The varsity became more accustomed to the Dartmouth formations and man. aged to .-old the scrub eleven in check

Hoyle of Cornell Is
 Likely to Get Job
 Coaching Penn Crew

Philadelphia, Oct. 26-Another of Penn's major sports is due for a re- vival, if plans now under considera- ton are carried out. The Quaker crews, at present coached by Joe Wright, the famous Canadian coac,, and oarsman. are badly in need of a capable man. as assistant. The def- ciency $ well on the way to being repaired by the signirg of John Hoyle, one of the best posted rowing men in America, and for many years an as- sistant to the greatest coach of them all, Charley Courtney of Cornell.
 Hoyle got into communication with the Penn authorities and offered his services as .an aid to Coach Wright. The matter is now understood to be under advisement and probably will not be acted upon until the athletic association meets after the close of the football season. If Wright con- cedes that he needs the help of a man of Hoyle's stamp the former Cornell tutor will be given the post.

REPRIMAND BUT NO FINES FOR RED
 S0X BALL TEAM

/ New Haven, Oct. 26-That members of the Boston Red Sox who appeared in an exhibition game against the Col onials here two weeks ago will get off with reprimand, was the report that reached New Haven from American league headquarters yesterday. Pres ident Ban Johnson, after acquainting himself with the facts in the case, started a further investigation and learned that batch of the same bali players were guilty of the same of fense.
 Johnson, however, plans to make the rule more stringent next year, as he is determined to put stop to the prac- tice. It Is believed that the Red Sox who appeared here will receive their emblems in honor of thei-- winning the worlds championship.
 In putting his foot down on barn. storming, Johnson is backed up by all of the magnates, who insist that such methods do not help the national game. Transforming trips, it is ar gued, are nothing more than attempts to obtain money under false pretenses.
 Ball players have been known to visit small cities and towns after the regular championship season in poor physical condition, also advertising the appearance of stars who have gone home for the winter. Taking the names of major league clubs, the barn. stormers have been frequently beaten by obscure teams of semi professionals and amateurs, but defeats have amounted to nothing so long as the major leaguers have received a few dollars for their expenses and trouble.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1S30-Deaf Burke defeated Bob Hampson in 45 minutes at Hampden Common, Eng. This bout affords an early illustration of the poor judg- ment shown by champions in picking candidates for pugilistic honors. Jim Corbett's enthusiasm over Tom Cow Ter, the big Englishman who has prov ed to be an easy mark for all the scrappers, was no greater than the admiration of Tom Spring for Bob Hampson. Spring. the greatest cham pion of that period. retired undefeated in 1924. Spring had been the protege of Tom Cribb-one case in which a. champion picked a live one-and when he quit the ring he began to look about for a young fellow he could de- velop into champ. Hampson. Liverpool youth, looked mighty good to old Tom, and under Springs care full handling, Hampson was soon ready to challenge Deaf Burke. the leading candidate for the heavyweight hon. ors. On the strength of Springs judgment, Bob was a favorite in the betting, but he didn't have a chance with the Deaf 'Un, which won as he pleased.

BILL DONOVAN THINKS CHANGE IN RULE ABOUT
 RELIEF PITCHER IS DUE

New York, Oct. 26-Manager Don ovan, of the Yankees, will advocate new rule this winter. 'Wild" Will Ham says the measure requiring a change pitcher to pitch until the bat ter facing him has been either put out or has reached first base is one sided. Not that he thinks 1t is not all right to impose that cohdidtion on a relief pitcher, but why not subject relief batter to the same requirements? If a new pitcher has to stay out there until the batter has been disposed of why not make a pinch batter stay up there until he has been disposed of: That is Williams argument.
 He thinks his proposed arrange ment only fair. As it is now, he con- tends, the rule permits the side at bat to manipulate pinch batters with out a corresponding privilege to the field side to manipulate pitchers. For example:-A right handed batter is put in in a pinch to bat against left handed pitcher. The left handlers manager takes him out to put in a right handed twirler.
 The other manager can take the first pinch hitter out right away and send in second pinch hitter, thus calling on two pinch hitters if needs be. one getting out of the game with out doing anything. whereas the new pitcher can't retire until somebody has had a whack at him.

CORNELL ON EDGE
 FOR BATTLE WITH HARVARD HUSKIES

rfss7aca. N. Y. Oct. 26-A final test ssS ,he strength of CornelPs offensive arm and a 45-minute secret signal drill in the baseball cage yesterday afternoon wound up Cornell's last hard practice for the Cornell game. Cne Ithacans made the best impress sion of recent practices. Twice from .tSe 20-yard line the varsity forced its ~~J through the scrubs team for a touchdown. Haucke and Speed, sec ond string backs, were placed on the varsity, and it is probable that Dr. Sharpe will use them part of the time at least in the Harvard game.
 Haucke' is a strong line plunger, while Speed on end runs is one of the fastest men on the squad. Benedict, left half back. did not scrimmage, but he is slated to play against Harvard, with Speed and Van Horn as subs. Hoffman's work has not been all together satisfactory this week and Haucke is pressing him closely.
 Miller was left at left guard on the varsity, but Right Tackle Jewett, who was hurt yesterday, did not get into the scrimmage, Dixon playing the position. There is strong prob ability, however: that Red Tilley will play right tackle in the Harvard game if Jewette does not improve soon. Carry has definitely won the centre position from Brown, at least for this game.

Carpenters Manager
 Slain in War

If Georges Carpenter emerges un- scathed from the war he will have to get a new manager, for. according to reports, M. Descamps has been slain somewhere in France" Englishmen and American used to laugh at Des- camps, who was an 'excitable little Frenchman. Descamps fairly worship ped Carpenter. The handsome box CT was his idol, his king, almost his god, and not merely a meal-ticket. If Georges got a beating it hurt Des- camps more than 1t did Carpenter. and when the French champion was victorious Descamps was always the first to fall into his arms and kiss him. No father ever adored a son more than Descamps loved Carpenter. His pub lie manifestations of affection seemed absurd and ridiculous to Anglo-Saxon eyes--but when it came to the test M. DescarAps was willing to die for his country? Now can you laugh at him |?

SHORTER TRAINING TRIPS TO
 BE POLICY NEXT SEASON
Major Leaguers Believe Three Weeks Long
 Enough to Put Men in Condition.

New York. Oct. 26-The Yankees are going to have short training trip next spring. Smiling William Donovan. the guiding star of the Col. Ruppert-Capt. Huston outfit, an- nounced yesterday afternoon that the pitchers-about fifteen or more-and the many recruit members of his flock will not report to the training camp at Macon until March 5. The regular members such as Baker. Gilhooley, Magee, Pipp and Maisel, will not. arrive in the South until one week later, giving them about four teen days in the camp. V aSd
 Donovan, like Hughie Jennings of the Detroit Tigers, is now fully con- vinced that a short training trip in the warm climate of the sunny South is as beneficial as a long one of four or five weeks endurance. Furthe er- more, the leader iof the Yankees is of the opinion that player, young or old. should be able to iron the kinks out of his arms and legs in two weeks and be in good physical condition when the club pulls stakes.
 Long training trips in the South and out on the Coast may be aban- doned by all the sixteen clubs in the two major leagues next season. Last year many of the Brooklyn Robins did not reach Dayton until late in March. But in spite of this, these
