DISSATISFIED WITH
WHITE SOX MANAGER

Chicago, Dec. 2.-ChicagO's well-in-
formed baseball writers are far from sat
isfied that Clarence Rowland is to remain
in charge OF the White Sox next year,
writes w. J. Macbeth, in the New York
Tribune. Some of these a day or two
ago attempted to pin Charles A. Comis-
key down to a definite answer on the
proposition. Comiskey refused to commit
himself
This fact was seized upon by the Windy
City scribes as direct evidence that the
old Roman seriously considered a change
in management. Some few weeks ago
Comiskey was more positive that Row
land would be left in command through
1877 at least. The president OF the White
Sox may be expected to make up his
mind before the annual meeting of the
American League. Publication of such
decision must wait for the present. Com
my and a number of his friends are at
present in the Wisconsin fastness of
Camp Jerome. where baseball talk is
tabooed.
During the last two seasons the Ameri-
can League situation in Chicago has been
an enigma to rival managers. Not one
Of Chicago's seven rivals but will ex-
press the opinion that the White Sox
boasts far more natural strength and
ability than any other club in the John
son field. This implies indirectly that
something vital is lacking In the methods
Of Manager Clarence Rowland.

Brown. in the record for consecutive
goals kicked after touchdown, thirty-one

time to come. eighteen consecutive goals

Preas missed a goal in the L. S. L.
game last year. Since then he has booted
every attempt through the posts, kickins
thirty-one in all.
Last season Preas started by kicking

KID EGAN In ANSWER
TO THOMAS CHALLENGE

Sporting Editor The Washington Herald
In answer to Thomas accepting chal-
lenge wish to state that the popular
verdict Of the last meeting between these
two boys was handed tn Egan. and this
by men at the ring side who knew; even
the referee expressed himself in these
terms when asked why he rendered such
a rank decision.
Now Egan is no sore head and while
he tried to get Thomas to fight accepted
the decision without a murmur.
The argument has been advanced that
Egan is a long distance fighter but I want
to inform these wise guys that when he
boxed Thomas twenty rounds he never
travelled this far before, and my opinion
is If a boy calls himself fighter he should
box as many rounds as the club match
maker desires. II Thomas Is really SER
ious in his desire to box Egan, he should
be over anxious to jump at a match for
any number of rounds in order to prove
his supremacy over Egan and he would
Immediately advance his stock as a
fighter in the hearts of the fistio fans of
the National Capital
Come on Thomas: sign up for a hundred
rounds or top Egan in ten or two If pos
sible, or forever hold your peace and go
get job.

hung up his uniform for the last time

there passed from the realms Of football
one Of the greatest plunging half backs
the game has ever known.
The Wolverine star weighed in the
neighborhood Of 170-a comparative light
weight. He was small in size and never
gave the appearance of being extremely
powerful Yet he was, and with that
peculiar drive of his he gained more
bucking mileage through the lines of the
enemy during his years on the Michigan
eleven than has any other man during
the past ten.
