Gill Says Barrett Is His
Manager For Ring Battle.

Joe Barrett, accompanied by
Johnny Gill, the popular York
fighter, to-day set at rest all doubts
as to his manager. At the same time
Barrett announced that he had COM
pleted the two ten-round bouts that
are to feature his boxing show next
Monday before the Olympia A. A,
in Steelton. 1t was Barretts inten-
ton to put Gill and the pick of
either kid" Scheeler, of Frederick,
Md; Johnny Wolgast, of Lancaster;
Morris Wolfe, of Chicago, of Wally
Henkle, of Philadelphia, against
Gill, in the top liner. However,
Jack Mcdonald, manager of Charlie
(Tex) Baylor. formerly of Texas,
now in Philadelphia, looking for
trouble, was so persistent in his
claims that Baylor was the legiti-
mate middleweight champion of the
South, and not Gill, that Barrett saw
no other way out but to match the
two men for next Monday. There
will be no decision given by the
referee. 1t will be up to the local
papers to decide the question, and
Mcdonald has agreed to this part
of the agreement.
The other ten-round bout will be
between Billy Angelo, the Greek
lightweight champion, and ICY
clone" Smith, the Jersey lightweight
champion.

MURPHY LEADS
WINNING DRIVERS
Heads List in Grand Circuit
Meet; Walter Cox Is
Second

New York, Nov. 4.-The forty
sixth renewal of the Grand Circuit
series closed in Atlanta October Is
after a run of fifteen weeks, during
which there were thirteen meetings
and 270 races contested. OF that
number 166 were for trotters, in
which there were 1,163 starters, and
104 for PAGERS, in which the starters
ran up to 727, making a total of
1890 for the season.
The premiums for trotters amount
ed to $3S0,064.49 and for PAGERS to
$156,37S.10, making a grand total
for the year of $4S6.442.o9.
The series OF 1919 runs the num-
Der. of meetings given by members
of the Grand Circuit i'll forty-siX
years up to 402, at which the pre-
miums amounted to $12,S05, ,30S.S2.
Hartford now is the senior member
and Toledo the junior, while CleVe-
land, which obtained another fran
chise after dropping from the cir
cult, Is the only present city that
was a member of the original cir
cult in 1873.
Average Rate of Speed
While the average rate of speed
was faster in 1919 than in the past,
there have been very few senSa-
tional performances except among
the aged, some might call them old,
horses. Single G.s heat in 1853 "a
at Toledo was the only one record
ed below two minutes, while Lu
Princeton leads the trotters with a
time record of 2.01 and a mile in
2.02 in a dash race.
All of these are trife short OF
the returns in 1918, when Single
G and Miss Harris M placed the
three-heat race record for PAGERS
below the two-minute line, while
both Mabel Trask and st. Frisco won
heats in 2.01 "a. The injury sus-
tanned by Ante Guy in her second
race no doubt kept the trotters from
making a new mark, but all that
can be said for the PAGERS Is that
they could not step up to the new
standard.

Early Dreams, Royal Mack and Mig.
nola we're the leaders. The first
named, now a twelve-year-old, won
in 2.04 "a at Kalamazoo. Royal
Mack, II years old. made his third
trip through the circuit and won
in 2.04 IA at Toledo and LeXing-
ton, where Early Dreams made n
new record for horses of that age
when he showed in front unexpect-
ed1y in 2.03 IA.
At the same time he made n new
worlds record for geldings. which
was equaled by Prince Loree in the
Pennsylvania. Mignola. q ten-year-
old, marched like n conquering hero
from the opening meeting of tho
Grand Circuit until he pulled up
lame at Hartford, where he was de-
feated in the Charter Oak purse by
Mariondale. He was started in ten
races, of which he won nine and
made a record of 2.04 IA. No one
ever saw a better trotter than the
handsome son OF Allerton.

Yale Won't Play Penn,
Is Latest From New Haven

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 4.-Pudge
Hefflefinger, who last played with
Yale 29 years ago, and George Nose
ley, an all-American end on Captain
Blacks 1916 team, has arrived to aid
in the coaching of the Yale eleven
and will remain until the Harvard
game. The team came through Sat
urday's game without injuries. 1t is
reported that Captain Callahan would
probably play against Brown If the
field is dry next Saturday. Otherwise
he will be saved for the Princeton
game. 1t was stated that he has
practically recovered wrom his injury
due to the wet field, which has kept
him out nearly all season. Thorne
Murphy, who was hurt in the game
against Boston College, will not be
able to play against Princeton, and
there is little doubt that he will play
against Harvard.
1t is said the reports that Yale will
play against Penn next year are with
out foundation. 1t rests with the foot
ball committee and the Board of Con-
troll. There is unanimity of feeling
that Brown, Princeton and Harvard
coming at the end of the season af-
ford a heavy enough schedule, and If
another big eleven was taken on it
would mean the resumption of con-
tests between Yale ard West Point.
The possibility of a resumption of
these relations would be remote were
1t not for the fact that Colonel Rob-
ert Danford is now commandant of
cadets at West Point and is anxious
for game. He formed and was the
first commander of the X. o. T. c.
at Yale.

When Automobile
OVerturnS

Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. 4.-Hugh B.
Miller, of this city, won the FL Paso-
Phoenix transdesert automobile
race, arriving here yesterday after
noon shortly after / o'clock, with a
lead of nearly forty minutes over
r. A. Durio, of Las Cruces, N. M,
who finished second. WI. Tabor, OF
Tucson, Ariz., was third.
The derby was for a stake of $12,-
600, seventy per cent. going to the
winner, twenty per cent. to the Sec
ond man and ten per cent. to the
third.
Miller, who won a similar race in
1914, averaged Alb miles per hour.
Durio and Taber averaged S4.S
miles.
Forty Cars Start
Forty cars left El Paso Sunday
morning for the dash across the
desert. At Bisbee. the overnight
control station, only nineteen cars
had survived the gruelling contest
and r. B. Armstrong, of Fort WORTH
Tex, was the leader so far.
A regrettable feature of the big
race was a fatal accident near Vail
where one of the cars in the contest
overturned at a sharp curve. The
driver, S. o. Bottdorf, and his
mechanician, both of Ell Paso, were
killed, and their bodies were brought
to Tucson.

York Backer Objects to
Stories About Johnny Gill

Considerable controversy has been
heard in sporting circles regarding
Johnny Gill, of York, joining one or
the Allentown promoters. Here is
what c. E. Klinedinst, of York. q
sport writer and one of the hackers
of Johnny Gill, has to say about
these reports:
Dear Sir-Kindly publish a little
letter regarding Johnny Gill, of
York, who was about to be tricked
by a gang of 'pikers.' There is a ru-
NOR afloat that Gill was to be ham
died in the future by Mr.. Bear,
of Alletown, who was trying to pull
Gill away from Joe Barrett, now
running shows successfully in Steel
ton. The little game of this clique
was to pull Gill away from Barrett
and try and kill the boxing game in
Steelton.
"Mr. Ettinger, of Allentown, also
had a finger in the case, who, I
think, is trying to bring Gill with
his gang of fighters, who are now
starving for the want of fights. 1t
sure is amusing to know how some
of these would-be managers try to
keep the good old boxing game
down. These fellows are of no good
to the game, but q menace and
should be driven out. l refer to
the clique from up the state. So Mr..
Editor kindly contradict all rumors
to that effect. Joe Barrett will look
after Johnny Gills business in the
future as he has in the past. So
kindly publish this so Gilrs good
friends know that he is with his old
manager. Thanking you, remain
yours in sports,

Coach Miller GivesEdison
Snappy Signal Practice

Coach Miller put the Edison foot
ball team through a snappy signal
practice last evening. The boys are
showing good form and spirit despite
the fact that the manager can not
definitely promise them a game this
week. Steps were taken to-day to
bring a high school team here to
play Saturday. The students are
anxious to get the game for they
have not yet seen the boys in action.
With the Camp Curtin game less
than a month away the boys wish to
play Saturday in order that they
may be in the best form possible
for the fray which Is to be the real
game of the season.
Jones who is one Of the most ag-
gressive linesmen on the Edison
team, is out of the game for a few
days because of injuries sustained
in practice a few days ago. He is
doing finely and will be on the line
again in a short time. Snyder and
Kelly have fully recovered from the
bruises received in the Sunbury game
and are holding down their regular
positions each evening at practice.

EH WARRIORS GET DOWN TO HARD WORK BECK WITH BEEE
BABE RUTH TELLS HOW TO
BECOME GOOD BATSMAN
KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL

New York, Nov. 4. - Keep your
eye on the ball!" sounds like golf,
but Babe Ruth, Boston's leading
manufacturer of home runs, was
speaking about baseball. Babe
doesn't believe in trying to score
base hits with his chin, but every
once in a while he can be persuaded
to go to bat in the conversational
league, and when he does he gen.
orally knocks a couple of verbal
\ home runs.
-Aprtant question for Ruth to answer
~ What is the secret OF success
f6l batting?" 1t was in reply that
Ruth unhesitatingly answered:
When a pitcher Is preparing to
deliver ball try to guess what he
<ntends to throw, a curve or fast
one," continued Ruth. but just be-
cause you have made up your mind
he is going to throw a curve do not
be too sure of it. Always remember
the pitcher also is trying to outguess
the batter. That is part of a
pitchers work.
Watch the Pitcher
"Once he releases the ball never
take your eye off it. If you do you
are gone. Watch it all the way.
Watch it as it breaks and watch it
as you start your swing. The batter
who watches the ball only part of
the way in it's flight to the plate sell
dom becomes a good hitter, for If
sthe pitcher is throwing a curve 1t
seldom breaks until it is within a
few feet of the plate. 1t is almost
impossible to tell whether q thrown
ball is going to curve or not until the
actual break occurs. For this reason
it is necessary for a batter never to
take his eye off the ball.

, baseball a veteran player impressed
upon me the necessity of keeping
my eye on the ball, and 1 have
never forgotten it. 1t has become
second nature with me, and yet l
never step to the plate that the
warning, Keep your eyes on the
ball." does not flash through my
mind.
Free Swing Essential
Next to keeping his eye on the
ball q batter must learn to hit with
free and easy swing. He must
not hold his elbows tight against his
sides. 1t is impossible to get a free
swing if the elbows are bound BY
this / do not mean they should be
held out from the body, but they
must be given all the freedom of
action that is possible.
Hitting power is generated in the
wrists, forearms, and the muscles be-
hind the shoulder blades. Therefore
II Is necessary to swing so hard that
you spin all the way around. The
man who swings in this way loses
time in getting away from the plate.
Getting started quickly toward hrst
base is something that demands close
attention. Many u base hit has been
lost by a slow start from the plate
and many base hit has been made
by getting away quickly.
"The batter who swings completely
around loses his balance and before
he recovers himself he has lost the
equivalent of at least two full strides.
Two strides of say five feet each
mean that he has lost more than
three yards in the thirty-yard dash
to first. And three yards is quite
handicap.
There are many more things
about batting, but these are the chief
things to remember and to prac-
tire -
