PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Nov. 30
Joey Dugan. Connie Mack's thin
skinned shortstop, who varied his
play with leave taking without per-
mission last summer, issues an ulti-
matum to his chief today to the ex-
tent that he will not play with the
Athletics next year.
Dugan, who takes suggestions from
his chief, as reprimands and goes
off in far corner to be my himself
every time his feelings are hurt, says
Mack must trade him, as he Ia
through playing with the Athletics.
AS far as the situation now stands
the Dugan-Mack proposition is about
fifty fifty. Mack wont5 to get rid
of the shortfelder. According to
dispatches from Boston Dugan says
he will no longer play with the Mack
men, and unless traded will quit the
diamond.
Dugan demands that he either be
traded or sold to some other American
League team. Whether or not the
youngster has soured on Philly is not
known. He played brilliant baseball
here at times.
Mack appears not, the least wor-
ried. The astute Athletics leader
says that Galloway covered short in
such a first-class manner last season
that Dugan will not be missed at all.

BRAINS TO BATTLE
Drawn THIS WEEK

NEW YORK. Nov. 3O.-Brains
against Drawn.
That time-worn sport argument
about a skilled scrapper against a
siugging, scienceless battler is the one
consuming topic over the Beckett
Carpenter fight Thursday night in
London.
Carpenter. the French champion,
who wears the regal robes Of the Eu-
ropean heavyweight class, is the ex-
ponent of brains and skill in the
roped square. Beckett, the English
champion, is of the rugged type who
can expose himself to a lot Of punish
ment and dish out the same without
regard to the fine points Of the game.
The Frenchman banks on ring gen.
eralship to keep him away from the
punches of his heavier opponent, and
when Beckett tries to slip across the
well-known haymaker
Beckett hopes to break through the
defense of the French aviator SER
geant and slug him to a point where
he will have to adopt the same tao
tics. The Englishman will have the
advantage of twenty pounds In
weight. Critics who have looked in
ton are declaring him fit to the point
of perfection.
Very few have been permitted a
closeup" Of Carpenter in his camp
outside of London. But it has gone
the rounds in London that he Is over
trained. The Frenchman has been
priming himself for months. 1t would
recall the postponement of any early
scheduled battle more than a month
ago on the claim that he was not in
condition. Since then he has been
hard at il.
Despite runors, London is well
worked up over the fight. CoIburn
stadium is but bit OF a hall seating
only about 1000. Prices ranging
from $50 to $l25 per seat were
charged, and the tickets have all been
sold. so it's a cinch that Promote

The fighters are to go in the ring

He was standing on the 25-yard line

diately the Navy side of the field
went mad. 1t never completely re-

Both sides punted frequently as the

The Middies punted frequently for
the remainder of the game, content

doughboys, too, had to punt because
their line attack was too weak in the
face of the sturdy charging by the
Navy forwards. The final whistle
