JIMMY AUSTIN, CRACK
INFIELDER OF BROWNS
is "a YEARS OLD

Jimmy Austin, the third baseman of
the Browns, is getting along in years,
as he will be thirty-four today. He
has been playing ball for living for
thirteen annums, which certainly en-
titles him to membership in the So
ciety of veterans of the diamond.
James was born in Wales, but he sail
ed across the briny at tender age.
and was reared in Cleveland, where he
played with a city league club in 1903.
The following year he broke into the
Central League with Dayton, and re-
manned in the Cash Register City
three seasons, playing third and short.
In 1907 the stocky Welshman DON
ned an Omaha uniform, and his work
in the Western League was so good
that in the latter part Of the 1908 sea-
son he was sold to the New York
Americans. After two seasons with
the Yankees he was traded to the
Browns. Jimmy's stick work slump
ed to .204 this year, which was a con-
siderable drop from his 1915 average
of 1856 If Austin could have bat
ted as we'll as he felded and swiped
bases, he would have gained rank
among the greatest players Of the
game. He has always been a hard
and game worker.

MORAN TO FIGHT
.GUNB0AT SMITH IN
BROOKLYN DEC. Is


New York, Dec. 8-Frank Moran,
the Pittsburgh heavyweight, and
Gunboat Smith of California have
been matched to box for 10 rounds at
a show to be held at the Clermont
A. c. of Brooklyn, Dec. Is. This will
be Moran's first appearance in a local
ring since his bout with Jack Dillon
several months ago, and it will be d
return contest with Smith. The men
boxed several years ago out West, on
which occasion Smith received a
referees decision on points in 20
rounds.
Moran is reported to have been in
training for the last several weeks
and is again in good condition. He
was matched to box Fred Fulton, the
Rochester (Minn.), boxer this month,
but the bout fell through.

WISCONSIN REAPPOINTS
HARVARD COACHES FOR
NEXT FOOTBALL SEASON

Milwaukee, Dec. 8 - Wisconsin

NAL approval to the work Of DR.. Paul
Wilmington, the former Harvard star.
by engaging him for next year, with
the complete staff of assistants, in
Guiding Soucy and his other Harvard
grads, who worked with Wisconsin
the last year. This action is taken in
spite of the fact that the Badgers did
not win any Of their important games
this year, except that with Chicago.
Wisconsin did more than merely
re-elect DR.. Wilmington. 1t made him

The action was taken by the full
board of university regents, but the
salary to be paid him was not an
nounced. 1t is understood that it will
be that of a full professor, $4,000 a
year. In addition he will be allowed
assistants to handle the basket bali
gymnasium and other teams, and he
will in effect be the head of the en-
tire athletic department, with the
other coaches subordinate to him. He
will have personal charge of the base

BROOKLYN TEAM
ARRANGES SERIES
WITH THE RED SOX

Boston, Dec. st is reported here
that the Red Sox and Brooklyn clubs
will play series of exhibition
games in the south next spring.
! Harry Frazee. the new president of
the Boston club, said last night that
Charles Ebbets, president of the
brooklyn club, favored the idea and
had already partly made arrange
ments to transfer the Brooklyn train
ing camp from Daytona, Fla. to Hot
Springs, Ark, where the Red Sox will
prepare. The tour has the approval
Of Ban johnson, according to Frazee.
Frazee and Hugh Ward, the Red
! Sox owners, came here last night for
the first time since they purchased
the team from Joseph J. Lannin sew
era1 weeks ago.
Most important Of the problems
confronting the owners will be the en-
gaEement of manager for the team.
Frazee said that strong effort would
be made to induce William F. Carri-
gAk to return. as leader for at least
an 0Eher year. He indicated that Car
rsgHn would find the salary offered a
strung inducement as compared with
tho probable profits Of the banking
bh4 kness in which he is now interest
edsyS The Red Sox president said he
expected to meet Carrigan within a
day or two. AS yet the matter Of re-
engagement has not been discussed
with Carrigan, he said.

The Western promoter expressed the
opinion that from physical point or
view match between Les Darcy, the
Australian boxer, who is reported on
his way to this country, and the
French champion would be more &C
ceptable, but the importance attach
ed to a contest in which one of the
champions is the principal made the
Willard Carpentier bout a better pro-
position.
Richard stated, however, that he
had representatives in all Of the cities
in which it is expected that Darcy
will land in this country, and 1t IS
the intention of the promoter to be-
gin negotiations with Darcy as soon
as he gets in touch with him.
Richard will in all probability at"
tend the foreclosure sale Of Madison
Square Garden, today, so that he can
be among the first to bid for lease

DONOVAN INTENDS
TO PLAY MAlSEL
AT 2NO FOR YANKS

New York, Dec. 8-Bill Donovan.
manager of the Yankees, returned to
town yesterday after an extended alb
sence from the city. Donovan attend
ed the minor league meeting in New
Orleans and then put in several weeks
in Macon, where he took up the ques-
ton with the owners Of the State fair
grounds Of erecting a training house
near the ball park.
The New York club intends to equip
frame building several hundred
yards from the ball park as a club
house with steam heat, shower baths
and other training paraphernalia.
"Such a training house will save the
players from running the mile and a
half back to the hotel in a cold wind
and sometimes in rain" said Donovan.
"Also when I formerly warmed up
pitcher and used him for a few inn
ings I was forced to send him right
back to the hotel SO he would not
stand around in, the wind and get
chilled. Now will be able to send
him to the clubhouse to get his arm
rubbed and put on a dry shirt. after
which he can be put to work fielding
hunts or shagging flies"
Donovan says his present plans are
to start Maisel at second base, with
Gedeon second choice, and an outfield
consisting of High, Magee and Gill
hooley, with Hendryx in reserve. He
says the Salt Lake city club has been
after Gedeon for some time and even
tried to get him before the end of last
season..
However, I intend to hold on to
Joe,'' said Wild Bill, "as L still am con-
WINGED that he will come through and
be a valuable player. He showed me
he, could hit last spring, when he
met the ball very hard, and I be-
lieve illness was entirely the cause of
his SLUMP"

New York, Dec. S-No further de-
velopments regarding the proposed
ten-round bout between Jess Willard,
worlds heavyweight champion, an"
Georges Carpenter, premier heavy
weight Of Europe, were produced yes
terday, and, with the possible eXcep-
ton OF a display Of increased confl-
dence by Tex Richard, who is promot-
ing the contest, the local situation
remains as it was when the news was
first made public.
Richard said late yesterday AFTER
noon that he is still waiting for news
from Paris on the outcome of.the eff
forts of his Representatives in the
French capital, who are trying to Sc
cure Carpenters signature to a con-
tract. This contract was sent to Paris
about two weeks ago, and it was ex-
pected that the promoter. would re-
ceiye an answer last Wednesday.
The possibility that the match be-
tween Willard and Carpenter might
not materialize did not seem to bother
Richard to any extent, although ne
did admit that from a competitive
standpoint the contest on it's face
seemed rather one-sided, owing to
tremendous physical advantages the

YALE DECLINES TO

! New Haven, Conn, Dec. s-Yale's
football schedule for next Fall will
contain only two changes. Lehigh
/ and Washington and Jefferson will
be dropped because Yale insists on
I having a lighter list of games.
Yale may give. either Amherst or
Williams a game in place Of Lehigh,
and University Of North Carolina in
place Of Washington and Jefferson.
! Yale has played Amherst annually
i till within a few years. The Univer-

mended by DR.. Arthur Brides, the Yale

there. There is no prospect of a
game being arranged with University
Of Pennsylvania, it was said last

YARN OF ILLEGAL
PLAY IN BIG GAME
IS DENIED AT YALE

New Haven, Dec. S.-Burt Whitman,
who writes pieces about sport for the
Boston Traveller, rises to remark
thus1y:
That YaIe's touchdown against .Har-
ward in the Bowl. November rs, was
the direct result Of an illegal play by
the Ellis, a beat-the-rules stratgem
that had been faithfully practiced, is
a charge again heard.
yale backs practiced kicking the
ball with the knee after the runner
had broken through the line" is the
story. 1.-THE Yale end and tackle,
from the other side from the play,
were instructed to cut over and to, get
down the field and try to recover the
knee kick if they could. 1t worked in
practice fairly well and Yale pulled it
successfully, LIE Gore to Gates, for the
80 yard gain in Harvard territory
which resulted in the touchdown.
This yarn had it's beginning with a
former Exeter player, who intimated
that. such a trick plap was rohearsed
at Exeter when Tad Jones was head
coach.
This was too strong a possibility to
go without investigation. 1t was put
up to one of the Yale varsity men
who played in both Princeton and
games this year and who had
played under Jones at Exeter.
Its a lie," the Yale man said.
Tad Jones never would try to beat
the rules. That play wasn't practiced
in the three years I was at Exeter
with Jones and surely wasn't this,
year at New Haven. It's a foolish
idea anyhow. If a back could break
the line and get into position
to give that ball a shove ahead with
his knee he'd be in a pretty fair way
to keep on running with it. wouldn't
he, instead Of taking chance that ar
recover it?"

Chief MEYERS TO
BE TRANSFERRED
BY BROOKLYN CLUB

The Brooklyn club has been mum
on the question Of the. retention of
players, whose contracts ran out at
the close of the present season. While
it has permitted the impression to
spread that there will be some ia
miliar faces missing next season, still
names have not been mentioned, ac
cording to Tom Rice in the Brooklyn
Eagle. But gossip is getting busy, and
it has connected the name of Chief
Meyers with the can. It.would sur
prise no one were the noted Indian
to get the gate. He has slowed down
greatly, just as John J. McGraw said
he had
He was of service to the Dodgers in
1915, but there was nothing about
him for any stretch of activity that
indicated he was in the first flight
of backstops. If the Brooklyn club
can make a deal for him during the
winter he will draw pay next year
elsewhere. Only in case Of necessity
will he be entedered a contract Such
is gossip, and while Dame Rumor Of
ten is wrong, in this case it is believ-
ed there is some ground for the talk
of Meyers making some ball park
other than Ebbets Field his headquar-
tiers in 1917.
Meyers will be shifted unless Brook
ly fails to land the right kind of a
filler-in. 1t is we'll known that an
error was committed in swapping Nc
Carly for Merkle; that is, it was an
error to give up such a fine chattel
as McCarty. But the exigencies of
the occasion demanded it. With Mey-
league pace, the Dodgers have only
one of first class NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

PEQUOTS CLAIM TITLE.

The Pequots submit the following
letter to prove their claim to the
junior football title:
The Pequots would like to know
why most all of the junior teams of
the city are claiming the champion
ship, as it stands to reason that all of
them are not champs.
Now, the Pequots have not been
heard from for some time Owing to
the way our schedule was arranged
we did not require the services Of the
newspapers to book games for us, as
we were booked right up till the close
of the season. AS to the claims of
the Walnut Jrs., and the Madisons, we
wish to state that we were not de-
feated by either team but that we
defeated them both, the only team
that has scored a victory over US is
the Laure1s Of Derby, and we got re-
venge by. trimming them to 6 in
return match last Sunday.
The Pequots have as much right
to claim the championship in the so
90 pound division as any junior team
in the city and anyone disputing their
claim can be accommodated with a
game sunday, OeC- Z, OH any neutral
field.
The Pequots will journey to Derby
Saturday evening to attend a bus
ride which is being given by the
Laurel A. G. of that town.
They will also remain in Derby
over Sunday to play off the rubber of
three-game series with the Laurels
and. these players please report Sat-
urday evening at the Palace Billiard
Academy at 6 o'clock sharp: Hayes,
Foley, Goodwin, Negg, Crowley, Nc
Gran, Farrell, Delvy, Callaghan, Kun
dert, Brian, Cogan, Clancy, Cain and

Connecticut last year and are out
again for the honors this year..
The team that faces Crosby tomor-
row will not necessarily be the final
pick. Some men have been playing
football and hence have not reported
as yet to the basketball squad. In
tomorrow's game the choice rests be-
tween the following seven men: Capt
Pious, Cuneo, Kennel, Marys!e, Nc
Gran, Hayes and Porter. Clancy, a
veteran of last years team, has a
broken rib and Is unable to play. The
game starts at 8 o'clock.

Annex Will Play Chain
Team at Newfield Park

The Annex club of New Haven will
NAV the American Chain Co. team at
Newfeld park Sunday afternoon. The
Annex defeated the Chain earlier IN
the season by 60, but since that time
the Chain team has been strengthen
ed. and in Sundays game several new
faces will appear whose names will be
announced before Sunday. AS the
Annex team has a very large follow
ing in New Haven, arrangements have
been completed for extra cars to pc
attached to the train leaving New
Haven Sunday at 1918 and arriving
in this city at 12:46.
The New Haven team is composed
of some of the best players in that
citv and they are being drilled regu-
1arlv under the coaching of Charlie
Porter. the former Syracuse star. In
Swa.ck. and Bradford the Annex boast
of two Of the best back field men
playing the game today.
It is probable that the fHees, who
n1aved the Annex last Sunday at New
Haven and which resulted in a victory
for the Annex of 7-6, will be the at
traction the following Sunday which
will possibly be the final contest OF
the season. In Begina and \Splaine
the Annex have two very strong line
men who are we'll known to the fol-
lowers of football in this city, and
who the Annex place much confidence
on helping their team bring homo q
victory.
Owing to the fact that it gets dark
so early, Sundays game and all other
games for the balance of the season
will start at 230 p. m. All those
wishing seats should be there early
as the crowd is sure to be the largest
which has attended a game this year.
Joe Waters will referee and Dave
Splaine will act as umpire, with Nc
Carthy acting as head linesman.
