Hendricks. But II the war IL over
next year, I'll be back and the con-
tract will hold good. If they want to
get rid Of me. IL will cost them q

Jones says:
at is true that when Mr.. Hickey
signed Jack Hendricks as manager
he gave him a two-year contract.
Under ordinary conditions Hendricks
would be entitled to return to the
club. II Is my impression. however,
that there was a war clause In the
document by which IL automatically

legality of the document. I do know.
however. that Hickey would like to
manage the club, and I believe, IL he
returns in time. he will do so. More
over. l believe Hendricks would have
to sign a new contract II he Is ac-
cepted as manager.
1.-THE entire matter rests with
Branch Hickey. He Is the sole Judge
and his decision will be final. Rest
assured none OF the stockholders or
directors will interfere in the mat

CoMISKEY DEFENDS MoGUL
IN SCRAP AGAINST BOSS

CHICAGO, Dec. 1s.-Charlie Comis-
key, boss OF the White Sox. is not in
favor OF having Harry Frazee hound
ed out OF baseball by Ban johnson.
"If Johnson had the good OF baseball
at heart" says Comiskey, "he'd stop
haryping on gambling at Fenway
Park. under Frazee, and not be so in
terested in buying out the owners in
the American League.
Il have attended every meeting Of
the. American League in which Frazee
has been since he entered baseball
and have never known him at any
time TO take an end in an argument
except one that would benent the
game. II is absurd for anyone 70
imagine that he can put men in or
out of the American League to suit
his own personal within, and this goes
for everybody, johnson included"

They Want RenI Thing.

Now California knows the difference
between American and English foot
ball. Kicking at abuses in the Ameri-
can game fourteen years ago. the
California colleges dropped it. After 4
full and impartial trial Of English
rugby. the Coast colleges have come
back to the good old rough-and-
deadly-in-earnest type known as Amer
lean football
The principal difference between rug
by and American football is the val
ne Of the hall to the side in posses
sion. The English game calls for
what is known as a loose baii' :;
that is, il is held only temporarily by
a player whose main object is to pass
II TO a teammate and thus advance it,
The second noticeable difIerenc be-
tween the two styles OF play is in the
tackling. The English game brings
about high tackling. the object being
to prevent the long passing rather
than to bring down the man carrying
the ball The American game sees the
vicious, low diving tackles that stops
the advance OF the man with the ball
without argument.
Undoubtedly the English game Is
pretty to watch and pleasant to play.
Indeed, We are told that crowds OF
10000 and more witness the cham
pionship games in England. and no
game would draw that
number of spectators. But here in
America, where most OF US arc
brought up on the American style OF
football. with its personal contact. its
bRcltwardness about losing possession
Of the bail and its hard. low tackllng,
the English game lacks a certain at
mosphere that cannot be spared.
California knows the truth of this
now. The English game was intro
duced thirteen years ago. Three years
ago California State returned to
American football. This season STAN
ford followed suit. The treasures Of
both institutions have benefited by
the change.
