n NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-When the
National and American league sched-
ule committee get together next
month to frame the annual playing
program, the two major circuits will
nor chr their playing season from the
\ tonvelt ionai 100 games 10 1i6 as has
been suggested. Plans already have
been laid for these schedules and
they will follow the lines of former
years.
The schedule committee will meet
Immediately after the session of the
national committee, which is down
on the cards for next Tuesday. This
meeting will be held in Cincinnati,
but the location of the affair Of draft
ing schedule is something of a
mystery. AS a matter Of fact it al
ways is mystery.
The business of schedule making
requires considerable effort and lots
of quiet. Hence it often comes to
pass that French Lick, Indiana, or
some other place remote from the
centers of baseball is the location
Barney Dreyfuss and John Heyd-
Ter. assisted by President John Z.
Tener, are the schedule demons Of
the older circuit, while Ban Johnson
usually does most of the work for
the American league, assisted by his
secretary.
The coming meeting of the ma
tional commission promises more
than the usual run OF activity. The
plea of the minor leagues for a sep
arate commission to which they can
appeal their cases from the national
board, and the request of the class
IA leagues for elimination of the
draft system will come up for serious
discussion.

BOB FlTZ SIMMONS

Darcy's arrival will recall to mind
! the coming of Bob Fitzsimmons, over
twenty-six years ago, says sporting
editor.
Each man was the greatest middle
weight of their times. Each left the
Antipodes under adverse circum-
stances. Fitz, you know, had to fake
fight with Jim Hall in order to obtain
his fare across. Darcy is leaving dur
ing a time of war. However, he prob
ably is not defying the military au-
thorities as much as he is the bust
ness interests OF Snowy Baker.
Lanky Bob arrived unheralded, and
was tried out by Billy Mccarthy in
San Francisco. He defeated McCar-
thy and one or two others so easily
that he was soon matched with Jack
Dempsey for the rniddleweight cham
pionship of the world. This memoir
able battle was fought January Ia,
1891, Fitz winning in thirteen rounds.
That was the first great achievement
of Fits career-a career that proved
him to be one of the greatest. If not
the greatest fighter the game mas
known.
Darcy is the legitimate middle
weight champion today. He has
knocked out or beaten all of the
leading middleweights except Gibbons
he has never met, McGoorty,
Clabby, Nick King. Duck Grouse,
George Chip, Jeff Smith (fouD, Geo.

Hurah! How's This
Cincinnati authority says corns
dry up and lift out
with fingers.


Hospital records show that every
time you cut a corn you invite lock-
jaw or blood poison. which is need
less. says Cincinnati authority, who
tells you that quarter ounce of a
drug called freezone can be obtained
at little cost from the drug store but
is sufficient to rid ones feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus.
You simply apply a few drops of
freezone on a tender. aching corn and
soreness Is instantly relieved. Short
ly the entire corn can be lifted out,
root and all, without pain.
This drug is sticky but dries at once
and is claimed to Just shrivel up any
corn without inf1aming or even ir-
ritating the surrounding tissue or
skin.

GREGORY OUTLINES
FUTURE POLICY IN
ANTITRUST LAWS

Washington, Jan. 10-Rea ssuranees
to the business men of the country re-
garding the policy of the department
of justice in enforcing the Sherman
antitrust laws are believed here to be
conveyed in a statement of Attorney
General Gregory, published today is
which he outlines his policy. The
statement, issued through the cham
Der of commerce of the United States
was in response. to a suggestion that
an. expression from the attorney
general as to the governments atti-
tude in future antitrust prosecutions
might be regarded as reassuring the
public MIND and might ssdfspe1 some
of the uncertainty which heretofore
existed
In announcing the departments
policy of enforcing the law, the attor-
ney-genera1 said that where the de-
partment was assured Of the good
faith of the parties to a transaction
It had not been and would not be to
invoke extreme penalties against
them.
I'm such a CASE said Mr.. Gregory,
tsthe department would conside e that
the just and appropriate and quickest
way of enforcing the law would be a
civil procedure in which the petition
involved would be contested or a con-
sent decree entered according as the
defendants desired or by a notice to
the parties of the departments con-
illusions, with opportunity to abandon
or modify the transaction

New York, Jan. 10-That James E.
Gaffney, who has sold the Boston
Nationals to a syndicate headed by
Percy Haughton, is to become asso-
ciated with Harry Sinclair il the pur-
chase of the New York National
league club, was the substance of a
report that yesterday received con-
siderable credence both in this city
and in the Hub. From the signifi-
canoe which certain facts now take
on, following the sale of the Braves,
the story becomes something more
concrete than a mere /runor.
1t was Gaffney who started the
movement which led to the peace pact
between the Federal league and Or
ganized baseball.
Sinclair is going to purchase the
Giants. That is pretty certain, no
matter what denials are issued. A
stockho1der in the New Y ork Nation
ais, is authority for the statement
that the club is to change hands, and
his identity gives US the assurance that
What he says is true.
While Sinclair desires to buy the
Giants, he does not want to devote his
entire time to baseball, as he would
have to devote it if he became the
full owner of so big a proposition as
the Giants. He desires to have as
sociated with him a. man who will in
vest almost as much money as he viii

football strategist, Reginald w. p.
Brown, 49,. who for many years has
been the Crimson's advisory and pre-
'paredness coach, has just been signed
to another years contract by Gradu-
ate Treasurer Fred w Moore of the
Harvard Athletic Association. The
step to retain the valuable services of
Mr.: Brown was taken just in time, as
he was. considering offers to coach at
one of several large Eastern and
Western colleges which within the
last two months have offered him
arge sums to take up the work of act
i've and everyday coaching.
Reggie Brown has been associated
with Harvard football for more than
20 years and he has been responsible
for the defensive success of the team
in thel asst few years. He has built
up Harvard's present efficient scout
ing system and because of his keen
ness Harvard, unlike Princeton, found
itself able to stop Wales Minnesota
