Stallings Calls
OF Big Deal
With Giants

MACON, Ga, March 12.-Gcorge
Stallings, manager of the Boston
Braves, came over from his Haddoch
plantation to-day and gave out the
statement that in so far as his club
is concerned the deal whereby Charley
Herzog and Jimmy Smith were to go to
Boston in trade with the Giants for
Jess Barnes and Larry Doyle is off.
Stallings says he had a talk with
Herzog in Jacksonville, and the Giants
second baseman refused to talk term:
with him, Herzog claiming he had had
no official notification of the trade
from the New York club.
"This leaves the matter up to New
York. said the leader of the former
worlds champions. 81 do not intend to
take any further action in it, AS a
matter of fact, as thing have developed
had rather have Barnes than any of
the other three. Doyle, too, has i'm
proved, and the Braves will be satisfied
if the deal is called off, which will be
done automatically under the terms if
Herzog fails to report for training,
Whatever grievance Herzog has over
money matters is with the New York
club and not with me-"

Alma Mater

at Columbia University, has been en-
gagged to take up similar position at
Oberlin College. his alma mater, ac-
cording to report that reached here
from the West yesterday. Metcalf sue
ceeds c. w. Savage, who has been
granted a years leave of absence by
the Oberlin authorities.

been satisfied with conditions at the
Morningside Heights institution for
some time. He came to Columbia in
the fall of 1915 from Oberlin College
as athletic director. He was expected
primarily to coach the football team,
the gridiron sport having been resumed
after a period of eleven years. His

suited in Columbia winning all the
games it had scheduled for that season.
While student at Oberlin Metcalf
earned his letters in basketball, foot
ball and track and field. He then was
offered the position as athletic director
at Oberlin, which he held for several
years before coming to Columbia.

Boxing News and Notes
BY FRED HAWTHORNE

Ticker reports of the bout between
Fred Fulton and Tom Cowler at St.
Louis on Monday night must have
given James Bandit Johnston several
conniption fits, murmuring heart and
acute cardiac insufficiency, provided
the Bumptious One was lingering the
tape as the rounds were tickcd off.
What poignant scene that would
have been, and MORE. had Cowler
fattened Fred. Let us go into a brief
trance and vision the Bandit at the
ticker on Monday night
The Bandit Boy Gust before bout
starts )-"This fellow Cowler USED to
be good, when l first drafted him, but
now he's been robbed of his wallop.
and if you hit him on the chin with a
cream puff he'll kiss the mat. This
guy Fulton will drop him inside of a
round"
The ticker begins-"B -r-r-r tick. tick
g-rr. First round-Men spar for a
minute. Cowlel leads with left, and as
right to chin-click. click, c!ick-test-
ing, testing, testing -nphsqwzxt"- t.
The Bandit Boy-"Herc, boy, grab
me; Pm gonna faint! How'd Tom GET
that way? But don't let's get excited;
l saw my Gunboat lay those swinging
ones of his right on Freddy's jawbone,
and the Plasterer never even quivered.
He can take 'em. that fair lily can"
The Ticker-"Clck. click, b'r'r'r,
tick, tick-The blow hurts Fulton and
the St. Paul heavyweight staggers, his
knees buckle and he is groggy. Be-
fore he can stagger into a clnch the
Englishman lands terrific right hook
on Fulton's right eye, closing it tight
and bringing n stream of blood. Fred
hangs on desperately, and is weak and
dazed when bell comes to his rescue
Cowler's round by mile"
The Bandit Boy (gulping as he
comes up foY air, while beads of hon
est sweat from his clammy brow
, splash to the foor)-"He's gonna do
it, tell you, he's gonna DO it! al
ways knew that Englishman had the
makin's in him. He wanted me to
, continue as his manager, but couldn't
do it, count Of press Of big business
always FELT that Thomas was a
world beater, and I'll send him wire
tonight and accept his offer to manage
his affairs. The Bandit can always
PICK 'em!"
The Ticker -"Testing- click, click
cllck-b'r'r'r-Fulton is still groggy AS
he leaves his corner and Cowler forces
lighting, waiting to send over his right
to Jaw and end battle. Fulton looks
weak. and blood flows steadily from

Giants Back Into St. Louis,
Like Cards and Browns,
on Way West
By Louis Lee Arms

ST. LOUIS, March 12-African golf
Giants' annual swing toward Marlin.
African golf is game of mathcmati-
cal possibilities, in which the numbers
81" and al" seem to have an impor
tant significance. 1t is played with
small white cubes. At all hours of the
day, and even into the night, one could
hear some of the more persistent of
the African golfers calling on the "7'
and al" to show themselves on the
plea that the baby needed new pair
of shoes and other equally cogent rca-
sons.
In one way the African golf tourna-
ment was 81 complete success. Some OF
the newspaper men, whose i'll luck is
notorious and who were expected to be
fiat broke before Philadelphia hung on
grimly almost to the suburbs of Pitts
burgh before they were sunk and elirii-
