There two young chieftains of the

They reached the land Of the Cay

The Worlds Verdict

n NCE more the Majestic Range has been awarded

Cincinnati Owner Lets Secret Out When Discuss
.ssa ing TOney HOldOut Case.

Toney has come across with another
open letter. The pitcher makes an
interesting claim. He says in reply
to .Herrmann's statement, that he
would be worth $4,000 to the club if
he could be sure of winning rs to 80
games. that he would guarantee to
win as many as 80 games if the Reds
would score at least four runs for him
in every game he pitches.
OF course, the demand that the
team must score four runs per game
behind him is absurd, as the average
number of runs scored by the Reds
in all their games last year was about
three and a quarter. At that, if the
team had scored three runs for him
in every game he worked he would
have lost only one game.
1t now looks very much as if the
Cincinnati club will hold on to Ivy
Wingo. The catcher's $4,000 con-
tract makes him an undesirable for
the club directors. However. a, de-
luge of letters has been received pro-
testing against the possible sale of
Wingo and condemning the Red Off
Gals for even considering such
move. The writers of these letters
have been assured that Wingo will not
be sold unless Manager Herzog agrees
willingly to the mo owe, and that it has
never occurred to Hermann to dis
pose of the catcher without the con-
sent of the Red manager, and with
out filling Wingo's place with a man
equally as good

unsuccessful in several attempts to
secure another man to help out Hank
Gowdys wired an acceptance of the

replied at once that the deal could not
be considered at the present time or
until he had been able to secure two
catehers who would be approved by
Herzog.

ABERG AND LEWIS
TOOK HONORS In
WRESTLING MEET

New York, Jan. 31-The feature of
the most remarkable wrestling tourna-
ment that ever took place in America,
lasting three months, and being favor
ed with large patronage, was the over
whe1ming superiority of Alexander
Aberg, the giant Esthonian, over all
the aspirants for honors at that style
of graphing. The competitors in

Therefore, as a Graeco-Roman tour

there was no question as to the out

The conditions were altogethed diff
ferent in the eatch-as-catch-c com

In the American style of wrestling
there is no question that Robert

was the winner, for he was the victor
in eight bouts and was not beaten at

JACK DILLON AND
COWLER TOMORROW

New York, Jan s1.--The leading bout
of the week, which will be staged at
the Broadway Sporting club tomorrow
night, will bring together the rugged
Indianapolis light heavyweight, Jack
Dillon, and Tom Cowler, Jim Corbett's
big Vancouver boxer. Dillon is in
every sense a fighter and mich action
may be expected in any bout in which
he takes part.
Dillon disposed of Porky Flynn and
Charley Weinert in decisive fashion,
and although Cowler will have a big
advantage in weight, height and 3each,
Dillon expects to overcome these han
dicaps by his gresSiveness and ter
rife punching power Dillon hits as
hard a blow as any of the heavy
weights in the ring today. He bores in

GAFFNEY TRYING
TO GRAB CONTROL
OF BROOKLYN CLUB

New York, Jan. 31-James E. Calf
ney, former owner of the Boston
Braves, is reported as organizing a
syndicate to purchase the controlling
interest-in the Brooklyn baseball club
Associated with Gamney, according to
the report, is Bob Davis, of horse
racing fame; Jake Fields, wel1-known
operator in Wall Street, and Bill
Cowan, once a noted operator on the
race tracks.
The syndicate, if lit can secure. con-
troll in Brooklyn, plans to corral a,
number of former Fed stars and or
ganize pennant-winning team.
Charles H. Ebbets will be asked to
name a selling price, it is said.
Charles H. Ebbets, sJr., one of the
officials of the Brooklyn club, was the
only person in authority that could be
located last night. He denied that
the Dodgers were for sale. He said he
couldn't speak for the McKeever
brothers, who are largely interested in
the club, but he never heard them say
that they wanted to retire.

THREE YALE TEAM
CAPTAINS FAIL TO
PASS IN STUDIES

New Haven, Jan. 31-Although the
probable reinstatement of LeGore,
Rhett, Nilburne, Easton and Pun
pe1ly, and the appointment of a new
football coach hold central interest at
Yale, the possibility of the resigna-
tons of three team captains because
of scholarship technicalities has
Stirred up another hornets nest on
the campus. The cases of Captain
Black of the football eleven, Captain
SchIact of the swimming team and
Captain Mcintyre of the wrestling
team, are under consideration by the
authorities for scholastic de1inquin-
cies of one kind or another.
Most of the opposition to the cleo
ton of Black at the close of the foot
ball season arose from the fact that
his eligibility would be doubtful
another fall for scholastic reasons.
s Blacks friends insist at the pres
ent time that he will easily remove
his scholastic disqualifications before
the football season opens next fall. He
has engaged special tutors, and ex-
poets to raise his averages above the
required mark.
In case of his resignation it is prac-
ffca1ly certain that Charley Sheldon
will be chosen to the Yale captafncy.
Sheldon was expected by many of the
undergraduates to be chosen captain,
and Blacks election is said TO have
been by the margin of only two votes.
The announcement of the formal
engagement of Tad Jones as head
coach and Mike Sweeney as squad
councillor is likely to be made tonight
1t is unlikely that Captain Black will
give then an announcement of his staff
of assistant coaches. This will proba-
bly, follow, however, within a week,
and Captain Aleck Wilson of the
eleven the past fall, Nate Wheeler,
tsRed' Dunbar, and Billy Marting are
expected to be numbered on the list.
Marting has a contract as freshman
coach for another season. Wilson will
probably succeed BUD Talbot as
press spokesman for the football
management.

IS 800
HITTER, YET CAN'T
GET REGULAR JOB

Chicago, Jan. 31-Jack Fourier Of
the Chicago White Sox is a 300 clouter
and can play the infield or outfield,
but is not even sure of a regular job
for next season. His position is one of
the oldest in baseball.
Fourier has played first base and
in the gardens for the Sox and last
season batted 1922. Eddie Collins was
the only member of the club who hit
better.
The Frenchman, however, will have
to battle with Jack Ness, from the
Coast league, if he is going to play
first base this year, and if he is going
to hold a regular job in the gardens
he will have to = battle against Joe
Jackson, Jack Collins and Hap F7elsh,
who were regulars last season, in adj
dftion to bunch of recruits
Fourier can certainly whale the
horsehfde, but he is not a good fielder.
He is fairly fast on his feet but in
the outf1e1d does not cover nearly as
much ground on hyhit balls as other
men who are really slower runners.
Fourier played a pretty good fielding
game around the initial bag last sea-
son, but was not as sure as other first
sackers in the league.
Manager Rowland may solve the
problem by making use of F'ournfer's
best asset, his hitting, by using him
as a pinch hitter. The big fellows in
ability to field cannot be any handicap
to the club when he is warming the
bench, but he will be available for use
at the plate any time the Sox need a
bing1e.

N. Y. NATIONALS
LIKELY TO DEFEAT
RIBBONS TOMORROW

Local fans are likely to see the
Blue Ribbon basketball players take
anotherE beating tomorrow night when
the New York Nationals will be the
attraction at Colonial hall. The Ma
tionals are a husky bunch who are
ready to mix things up at any min
ute. In a recent. game here they
trailed in the first half but displayed
such a burst of speed in the second
period that the Ribbons were left far
in the rear.
Schmelke, the big National forward,
is one of the most sensational shoot
ers ever seen here. He cages them
from any position. Ruckert, the
center, made a mark out of Leonard
in the last engagement, and Ripley
at guard is also a, good man. Man
ager Leavy will continue his com bin
