Outside of the big three there was
a time when Syracuse looked to he

bold men who could see anything but
success before them. Then came the

one OF the best tackles that ever wore

Pittburgh had started off the season
with wonderful backfeld. but some

Syracuse defeat. but Pittsburgh did
not defeat Georgia Tech as decisively

Colgate has begun to go back. The
Dartmouth tie was also a setback for
them. coming as it did in the very
last minutes of what was apparently
victory. But men of the caliber of
Youngstown and Robertson must al

West Virginia gave the most finished

BIG BAN DEFIANT
TOWARD ENEMIES
Says Action of Directors Does
Not Alter Status of the
Mays Case.
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

Ban Johnson seems wholly unim-
pressed by the action in New York
yesterday of a majority of the direc-
tors of the American League in dis
allowing the Detroit clubs protest
and requesting the national commits
sion to d:sburSe the third teams
share of the world series money to
the New York Yankees. Indeed, al
though using diplomatic language. he
is defiant. according to a dispatch
from Chicago. American LeaGuc head
quarters. The league executive -.se.rds
the action taken by his arch enemies,
RUPERT of New York, Frazee of Bos-
ton and Comiskcy of Chicago. as not
materially affecting the status of the
Carl Mays case, although he regards
himself as restrained from taking any
action in the case so long as the in
junction obtained against him by the
owners of the Yankees after he sus-
pended Mays holds good.
AS ] understand il the Mays case
still is in the courts. with thirty
days allowed to file a motion for ap-
peal" says johnson. There has been
no final disposition of the case, If my
advices are correct. and pending such
final disposition it would seem the
part of wisdom for the commission to
retain the disputed money. However.
that is entirely up to my colleagues OF
