New Y ork, Dec. 1 9.-After nearly sixteen years 4 service in big leagues and class ,A4A> league baseball, oppor- tunity. has finally Knocked at Fred Mitchelrs ' door, and the " veteran pitcher, catcher, scout and coach is to be given a chance to show what he can do as a manager. In signing him to succeed Joe Tinker as manager of the Chicago Cubs the consensus of opinion among baseball men is that Charles Weeghman has made a master stroke and that the building up of the Cubs has been placed in compe- tent hands.
 After the Cubs agreed to give Joe Kelly, an outfielder, and some cash, reported to be $5,OOO, for Mitchell, George Stallings, manager of the Braves, said: t"The Cubs have pro- cured one of the best generals the game has ever known. Mitchell is one of the smartest baseball men I have ever met. He knows everything there is to know about baseball Further more, he knows a ball player when he sees one, and he knows how to handle him. am sure he will be a big success as manager of the Cuos."

MORAN OUTCLASSED
 BY GUNBOAT SMITH
Californian Forces Mill in Every ROund-Frank Looks Very Bad

New York, Dec. 19.-Gunboat | Smith, the California heavyweight, found Frank Moran, the Pittsburgh blonde, rather an easy opponent inl their ten-round bout at the Clermont A. C., Brooklyn, last night. In every one of the ten rounds Smith had an Advantage over his sturdy rival, and forced the fighting throughout. He in his tactics and failed to take ad- vantage of numerous openings left .byI the Gunboat lad.
 On the other hand Smith followed up every opportunity that was present. ed to get in a telling blow on Moran. He worked a left uppercut with. dire effect on Moran's face, and though he missed more, times than he con nected with his heavy light back Of the ear, he hurt the Pittsburgher when he did get this blow home
 In only two rounds did Moran ex- hibit the form expected of him. Momentarily in the seventh and tenth rounds he worried Smith with his heavy right hand smashes to the stomach, and in each session he sent Smith whirling to the ropes. But he meyer took full advantage of these occasions and the result was that Smith had time enough in each to recuperate and come back to gain the advantage of the session Tn the tenth period Moran fought desperate- ly trying for a knockout
 He rushed out of his corner and got Smith before the Californian could of fer resistance. He smashed a right heavily against Smiths jaw and Gun There Moran peppered him with the furry Smith again gained the up per hand He, was worried by this shower of blows, but never became f1ustered. When it appeared that he was in bad way he released a left hook to the chin and Moran stepped back pace.< Then the Californian kept. the head of, his Pittsburgh rival bobbing- with, the. continued use of-aa left-hand jab. Moran could findq no defense against this punch, and was partly in a. .daze, but fighting hard when the bell ended the bout.
 , Throughout the action was fast. With nevermany. doubt about Smiths advantage Moran thought: too long before he started his punches. He would make a. bluff as if to shoot out the. right, and then would, draw back, again. Smith soon solved this style and followed it quickly. Most of his effective boxing was done at close quarters

MitchelIs career in big league, base ball began in 1901 when he was signed as pitcher by the Boston. American league club The next year he was sent to the Athletics when the Phila- delphia club was in. need of pitchers. That autumn Connie Mack refused to give him more money, and he jun ped to the Philadelphia. National league club. Tn 1903 and 1904 he was with the Phillies.. In 1905 he joined the Brooklyn Dodgers. He injured his arm, and in 1906, 1907 and 1908 he pitched for the Toronto club. Toward the close of 1908 his arm failed him, and in 1909 he blossomed forth as a catcher. with Toronto.
 In 1910 the Yankees signed Mitchell as. catcher. The New York club gave two players and s5,00O in cash for him.. Stallings was then manager of the Tanks. When Chase succeeded Stallings as manager Mitchell was sent to Rochester and was there in 1911 Stallings, however, took him to Buff falo with him in 1912, and when Stal- llngs took charge of the Braves in 1913 he took Mitchell to Boston with him.

New York, Dec. 19.-President John K. Tener of the National league an- nounced yesterday that the all-impor- tant meeting of the National Commis- sion to act on all the suggestions re- gently made. by the two major leagues would be held in Cincinnati on January 8. It will be one of the most important conferences the body has ever held and it's action will have significant bearing on next year s baseball season. President Tener eX- poets no trouble with the Class A A leagues over their request for the re- moval of the draft
 He stated that he believed that conditions in the minor leagues could be improved With the cooperation of the commission, but just what should be done is a question. President Tener said that in all twenty-five players were drafted last season from the three Class A A leagues, eight of these players coming from the Inter national league. He predicted that the objections of the minors could be amicably adjusted. He also stated that he looked for a great improve ment in the standard of play in the National league next season.
 An aftermath of the National league meeting here came to light yesterday when it was learned that during the negotiations between President Weeghman of Chicago and President Haughton of Boston that the Boston man wanted $5O,0O0 for Manager George Stallings' release, along with a four years contract which called for $18,O00 year Haughton, it Is under stood, refused to back down from this price, while Weeghman considered it too high in view of the big contract which the Chicago club would have to assume
 The Yankees management got glad tidings yesterday from Pitcher Sam Ross who was farmed out to Rich mond last season. Ross was showing great form in the minors when he had to undergo an operation for ap- pendicitis which put him out of the game for the season. He informed the New York office yesterday that he had entirely recovered and had taken on fifteen pounds. Ross. Will report at Macon, Ga, ready for work on March ,.

ZULU KID K. O.'D
Jimmy Wilde, English Champion, De- flyers Sleep Potion to American Claimant For FYy1yeight HOnors.

London, Dec. 19.-Jimmy Wilde, fyWeight champion of England, knocked out Frankie Di Melfi, known as Young Zulu Kid, of Brooklyn, New York, in the eleventh round of their match yesterday. By his victory Wilde reaff1rmed his claim to the title of f1yweight champion of the world. The contest was to have gone twenty rounds of three minutes each.
 Both men were under weight and appeared to be in excellent condition. They fought fast and furiously. The tearly rounds were about even, with the Young Zulu Kid the aggressor.
 In the eleventh round Wilde sent the Kid to the ropes with a strong left to the jaw. Clinging to the ropes, the American fighter took a dozen body blows and then dropped on one knee. AS soon as the Kid regained his feet, Wilde shot smashing right and left blows to the jaw, flooring the Kid, whose seconds, without waiting for the count threw up a towel.

The Worth of Patrick MOran

Of all leading managers who have achieved a distinct success in the game, it strikes us that Pat Moran, the Philly director, has obtained far less than his share of praise
 Pat won a pennant in 1915 with a ball club that no one figured as first division team.
 This last season, with club rated fourth or fifth, he remained in the fight until Bancroft was injured in the final week with a club that beat Brooklyn in out Of the last 8 gam es through the stretch. Pat was firing away at the peak until within two days of the close with one great pitcher, where the leading batsman of his club was fixed at .283 and where Bancroft, his infield star, dropped to .213 Moran is rigged out with the qualities that a winning manager needs-frrnness, good Judgment and the respect of his tribe.
 As long as the combination of Moran and Alexander is around the Phillies are not very likely to be re- garded again as open faced targets for any hostile fire.

Songs of the Off-Trail.

 We: know how long we've parted From the derams that used to find us; We know how far we've wandered From the way we meant to go; But we never think about it Until o1dtime scenes remind us With the white and scarlet berries As we face the Christmas glow. We have drifted with the westwind And we've heard the eastwind plead ing;
 We have followed with the sunlight And the starlight out the years; And it doesn't often matter Which direction Fate is leading Where we've gained our part of pleas And have known our share of tears. But when Christmas echoes gather And the clans are congregating, And the winds of night are cluttered With forgotten ghosts at bay, Then we turn to lost roads pointing Where the ancient heart is waiting AS we hear again the story Of the reindeer and the sleigh

RATES TO BE ADVANCED
DreyfuS Announces That to Watch
 Pirates Is Worth More

Pittsburgh, Dec. 19.-Upon his re- turn to Pittsburgh yesterday, Barney 3Dreyfuss announced that Broadway prices would prevail Forbes Field next season. Dreyfuss evidently in tends tofavaf1 himself of the National League indorsement ta cut down rbleacher admissions to a minimum. . And the minimum in New York is a, mere handful. In fact, for several years the two-bit bleacherites of the for their absence.
 This action of the conservative Dreyfus lends asIor to the runor that he 1as in view a most probable purchasef fof the Pirates. Tn the first place, there Is no occasion at this time for Dreyfuss to make such an Isannouncement* if he hopes to be in scommand at Forbes Field in 1e17 He has before him the lesson Of c. Tf.- -Ehbets in the late worlds series. IA whole winter is open to F'1atbush Hans to store Up their resentmen to- ward the Squire.
 A Fine Stroke.
 But if Dreyfuss has arranged sale, then this premature announcement should prove fine stroke for the new owners. Barney would carry away with him whatever odium in opinion might be formed; his successor could WS-5 In which he had no hand.
 That something is in the wind there can be little doubt. Dreyfuss always has been strong for principle. He came to New York last week bear ing @ grievance against Garry Herr mann and the National Commission He seemed most sincere when he de- clared he t would unmask Garry Through the press if he was throttIed in the National League meeting. He was either thrott1ed or 1no1liied, be- cause he quit the final session without a word of, comment for publication.
 Sought Truce.
 It comes from reliable authority that the National League sought a Xtrllce with. Dreyfuss at this particu-. lar time because of the approach ling suit, brought by the Baltimore Federal League people in a Philade1- Dhia court A part of the National League,s concession was assistance in producing a buyer for the Pittsburgh club at the terms of Dreyfuss said to- be a million and a quarter. It is |known also that number of the National League magnates were 1boosting the value of the Pittsburgh Franchise as a good business buy.
