HIGGINS FACING
TASK With YANkS
Fans Look TO New Manager to Cop
First pennant in Is Years OF
Organized Ball

New York, Nov 10.-Miiier Higgins
tackled a man's-sized job when he
took the management of the Yankees.
Here's a club that in the Is years in
the American league has never won
a pennant.
II has. at times, appeared to have
the material necessary to win the
flag, but all through its history it has
been an undisputed child Of misfor-
tune. Once the club lost a pennant
by the margin of a wild pitch. Once
it probably would have flown a cham
pionship banner except for unfortu-
nate dissention in the ranks.
There were times when it was ham
pered by lack Of capital, but since
Colonel Rupert and Captain Huston
came into control money has been no
object These men have spent money
with a lavish hand and have combed
the country for promising young ball
players. Nevertheless, the best the
club has finished in the last three
years has been fourth.
The number of accidents to players
has been positively astounding. Ribs
ankles, collar bones, legs and fingers
have been broken and splintered like
dead trees before a gale. Tonsilitis
/ and the Yankees have been bedfel-
lows. If there is anything in the Law
of averages they should be due fol
/ the lucky instead of the unluckS
breaks.
With Higgins the Yankees start {
new deal. Enough of the old team
will be retained to form a nucleus
but some Of the players probably vii
go in trades, while others will MAKE
way for youngsters with the eager
ness and ability to make a name il
the big league The new manager o
| the Yankees has the reputation as
developer Of ball players Now h,
will have every opportunity to shoy
whether or not it is deserved.
It always has been difficult to pu
through deals or sales in the Ameri
can league. Most of the club owner
appear TO be in deadly fear that som
day they will turn loose a player onl
to see him make good with some othe
club. They hang on to what the
| have. This means that new talen
must be developed.

Racine. Wis. Nov. 10 Sailor Solly
Friedman graduated from preiimi
nary fighter to the windup class last
night when he met that wallopiug
Racine mauler, Matty MeCue. and
finished on the long end of the deci
sion.
The bout went the limit, 10 rounds,
and there were no knockdowns. prin-
clpally because Friedman was too
speedy for McCue. who spent the en-
tire 80 minutes cooking his right hand
for a haymaker that never delivered
any hay.
1t was fast clash, with Friedman
starting OFF by playing it safe and
then turning into a slam-bang per-
former and outstanding Matty at bis
own game.
There was less than 81 GOO in the
till" when Sailor Friedman and
Matty McCue climbed into the ring
for the main event of the evening.
/ The arena was not half filed and the
special train out of Chicago was less
than half filled.
A number of reasons were ad-
vanced for the "bloomer." with the
war tax as the principal alibi. The
promoters, of course, saddled the
extra on the fans, charging $3.50 for
| SO tickets and 1920 for the 81 kind.
Most of the vacant seats were of the
SO variety, while the gallery at s110
per was pretty well filled. Wagner
had some consolation In the poor
house. He wasn't giving away any
guarantees and therefore couldn't
lose any money on the program.
Mcmahon Makes Good.
Lee Mcmahon, the Chicago amateur,
made his professional debut in q regu-
lar fight in the opening bout on the
card, and had no trouble winning from
/ Charley Lawson, a Milwaukee mauler,
who was substituted for Red. Donahue.
Red was taken sick so the announcer
said, and the commission refused to
allow him TO go on, but there was a
report around Chicago that Donahue
had run out, so Lawson had plenty OF
time to get "set"
Mcmahon was too fast for him. VIM
ming every one of the six rounds. He
cut a nasty cash under Lawsons left
eye early in the fight and from that
time on Lawson worked to q disad
vantage.
: Mcmahon made a good showing con
= sidering as this was his first taste o
the big stuff. Lawson tested his cour
age several times during the mill witt
2 stiff crosses, but Lee was always will
/ ing to swap punches. He showed
} dandy right, but needs more practic
with his left. Lawson's best round wa
l the sixth, when he rallied and gave hi
l followers chance TO make a littl
e noise. However, it was Mcmahon
e fight by mile.
Moore Is Easy Winner.

: lesson in a ten-round affair. Pa

Davenport Athletics. When asked
today, John stated he is satisfied with
Rock Island first, last and always and
does not care to play with a losing

of the crucial contest on Douglas field

given so much satisfaction in several
other games in this city, will act as
umpire and Willard of Bradley will be

is expected that one of the fastest
games of the season will be staged.
It is an absolute fact that Byers,

ALIEN|STS TESTIFY
VAWTER NOT INSANE

CHRISTIANSBURG, Va, May A.
The prosecution in the trial of Charles
f.. Nawter for the murder of stockton
Heth, jr., devoted itself largely today
to efforts to prove that Vawter was
sane when he wrote Heth asking that
his whisky bill be paid and telling
him that he NOW could love Mrs.
Vawter with less fear" The defense
rested early in the day after intro
ducing witnesses to prove that Vaw-
ter was not drinking on the night of
the shooting. The jury will be taken
to Blacksburg tomorrow morning to
go over the Vawter home, where the
tragedy occurred on the morning of
March 13.
DIR. j. A. Knobln OF Radford, in
answer to hypothetical question,
said he considered Nawter sane when
he wrote Heth. Dr. J. C. bowman of
East Radford also declared the writer
of the letter was sane. DR.. w. A. Will
son of Radford said the misslve was
written by q degenerate.

Men Are Always Willing to Give Advice,

There is an interesting article in the
January Woman's Home Companion in
which writer who thinks women give a
lot of advice also scores the men and
says:
"On the other hand, lest | be accused
of being unfair to my sex, / want to say
that men are far more active in that Of
fensive form of personality known as
giving unasked advice--see above-than
woman. The speech, III tell you exact
~ what to do comes ever so trippingly
to the masculine tongue. They cannot
see another human being buying stocks
or golf balls or real estate or motors, or
engaging in any activity of life, CONNER
cial, social or religious, without telling
him or her how the thing should be done.
Most men. and especially those who have
been little successful in some one line
of business, feel that they are therefore
perfectly competent to advise on art, sci
ence, or anything else. Look at all the
smart farmers who think they can play
the stock markets-and end by mortgag
ing the farm"
