5I-YearS- Young p nm
Trainer Has Seen Numer-
Gus Old-Timers Return
HANDLED MANY STARS
By EDWIN ].

A TALL, lean, athletic-appearing man
n walked through the north entrance
TO Franklin Field with a snap to his
military step that belled the sprinkling
of gray hair that showed between the
edges of his hat and his ears. He turned
toward the south end of the gymnasium,
stopped a few seconds to shake hands
with Bill Hollenback and to tell him that
he would be out on the gridiron in a
short time.
Bob Folwell. a teammate In the other
years, was a mere fifty yards away, but
the sisitor turned first to the dressing
room. He entered the locke room and
gazed around as if trying to pick out a
familiar face
where's Billy" he asked one of the
hystandersSjust as Billy Morris. the
veteran Penn trainer, came through the
door leading from the gymnasium
prope".
Hello. Billy :" and a real mans hand
shake was the salutation.
Always Come Back
AS | live Eddie Greene himself In
the flesh =" said Morris. Eddie. by gol-
". the fellow who said they never come
back was all wrong. They ALWAYS
come back"
There's 10 need of saying who Eddie
Greene is, but for the benefit of those
who might have forgotten, he was a
famous ~halfback at Penn more than a
decade ago and was captain Of the 1906
eleven.
Like most Of the other Penn players
who have passed beyond football as a
participant, Greene always visits Frank
lin Field when he gets to this city, and
just as often does he stop in to say
howdy to Bill. .
Billy Morris is as much Of a corner
stone to University athletics AS the gym
naslum itself. Every returning athlete
expects to see him there as much as he
expects to see college hall and the IA
nous but worn senior fence. Billy has
been connected with the University for
n long stretch of years. He was first
associated with Old Penn in 1891
and has been there continuously for
more than ten years. .-

8THden, a Real Sportsman, Admits Murray's Superiority

TuLDEN proved to the world that he a a real sportsman when a few
Ldsys ago he gave out a statement in Pittsburgh, where he is with the

GAFFNEY PLANS
TO BUY RED SOX
Expects to Have Team Play
at Braves Field, 1t
Is Reported
r UCING EXPENSES

The muddled baseball situation at
Boston, which President John Heydler,
of the National League, has been trying
for several days to stralghten out, may
be cleared up by a new deal which is
now reported to be under consideration.
On the authority of some close Boston
associates of James Gahrney, It Is said
that the former owner of the Braves
may purchase the Boston Red Sox. which
Harry Frazee now has on the market,
and transfer the club to Braves Field.
This deal, If it goes through, it is said,
would remove the main difficulties which
confront both clubs. It would end the
controversy between Frazee and Ban
Johnson, and, what ,the National
Leaguers consider more important, it
would relieve the financial strain which
has tugged SO hard at the Braves.
Paying Proposition
By installing the Red Sox at Braves
Field Gaffney could make thai big
plant a paying proposition for the first
time since 1t was built. With two clubs
playing there It would be kept con-
stantly occupied during the entire play.
ing season. and a part OF the overhead,
which 1t has been reported amounts to
$4,000 a year, could be charged off to
the American League club as rent. The
plan would operate to the advantage of
ooth clubs. just as a similar plan with
the ankee and Giants playing at the
Polo Grounds has succeeded.
The Boston men who are urging Gaff-
ney in this are the same ones who
have been after him since last fall to
take back the Braves For a time It
was thought Gaffney would have to
take back the National League club, as
1t seemed that the present heads were
not willing to go further with their base
ball investment. Gaffney has held off
taking back those interests. But with
the war over and baseball facing a
prosperous season Gaffney might be able
10 make the Braves a profitable prop
Osition for the present owners, and at
the same time have a profitable club of
his own. The arrangement would make
it possible for the present National
League club to get on a firm founda-
ton.
Would Help Braves
But for some such proposed move as
this II Is probable that Gaffney would
have resumed the reins at Boston before
this. According to his friends Gaffney
would find It cheaper to take back the
Braves now than in a year from now
II the club continued to run with the
present overhead charges that are i'm
posed by the big plant.
Whether Major Percy Haughton,
former president of the Braves, will re-
turn as head of the club, is doubtful.
Major Haughton was in town last night
and registered at the Belmont Hotel, but
could not be reached there. It Is said
that he has other interests which will
prevent him from again taking hold of
the Boston club, though he is expected
to again coach the Harvard football
team next year.
