MEAN , OF SOx tOSS
 OF HaRpIER

Boston, Dec. 19---Tt looks as though the Detroit club had put through a deal that only few big Ieaguers had considered possible
 l. may be remembered that Hughie Jennings with unexpected craft de- layed putting in hie appearance up on the scene until the cay alter the adjournment of the Aueri an IsaE- uers and al a time when nearly all of the club owners had departed for their respective homes Jennings now il appears reached New York in order to do business with Clark Griffith. His success may block a deal that the Red Sox had been try ing to put through win the Senators.
 As was stated last week in these columns. the Red Sox were especially sweet upon Harry Harper, the one left-handed pitcher in The league that Barrow figured could do his club a lot of good. For Harper and perhaps Shaaks included he was vi ing to give up Robbie Roth. a hard hitter, and last winter still classed as real star. The Senators needed a good right-handed hitter for their short rishtfield and the Sox were willing to trade Roth, who had failed to l., up to expectations at the Hub.
 But now Jennings comes in with an offer to trade Pep Young for Joe Judge. Judge is real star. too. but the Senators have been weak at sec ond base for a long time. Young wants to get away from Detroit and Griffith. with Joe Leonard as a first base possibility, is said to have de- termined to exchange Judge for Young, particularly since Judge has served notice upon Griff that he wants to get away. If this deal is really put through, and reports from Wash ington are to that effect, then goodby to the Red Sox chances for getting Harry Harper.
 In the meantime it seems funny that both Washington and Detroit would pass up the opportunity to sign up such sterling first sacker and dependable hitter as Dick Ho- blitzell.

In almost every period of the prize ring there have been freaks whose physical make up or some peculiar fighting characteristic or personal luaIity has made them popular with he devotees of the squared circle. 'onetimes the freaks have been -%ampions but moro often they have ot been.
 One of the greatest freaks of the ing was Young Griffo. the marvel us Australian lightweight who came this country years ago. GriffO gas reputed to be the cleverest man nat ever skinned on a glove. He ought three draws, one of twenty five rounds, with the great George Dixon, then in his prime. Griffo was a mental dwarf but was peculiarly gifted with a genius for the ring. IT he could have been made to train and keep himself in condition GriffO would have been a champion. Griffo would rather give exhibitions Of his skill in a bar-room than win a cham pionship in the ring. One or his fla vorite dem nonstrations in the former days was to place a handkerchief on the floor, stand on it, and then bet anyone money they couldn't place t,low on his face. Griffo wouldn't
 
 avoided the blows by merely twisting his beAd.
 Mysterious Billy Smith was wei terweight who f1ourished about twenty years ago. Billy was as dangerous as they came and was dubbed "Mys- terious'' because no one ever knew what he might do to win a battle. Billy was one of the few men who ever tanned Joe Walcott, the Giant Killer Smith whipped WalcotL in twenty rounds in New York Once when the going was hard for the Mysterious One Billy in a ci-nch, ac- tually bit a piece out of rlle top of TTalcott's head. Joe went to pieces from that moment on. Smith, who believed that desperate case required desperate remedies, won as he pleased.
 Walcott, standing scarcely more than five feet and holding the wei terweight championship, was q gen uine freak. Powerfully built he ac- Quired the sobriquet of Giant Killer by knocking out heavyweights like Joe Choyin Xxi and George Gardiner. Not many welters are knocking out heavies today. The ring has never seen the like of Joe Grim- For a time it was thought the Phlla delnhia Italian possessed a galvanized II on jaw and body. F'itzsimmons knocked him down sixteen times in six rounds but couldn't put him out. Finally Sailor Burke, then an unknown, found the vulnerable spot and Joe was freak" no longer.
 Jimmy Wilde is the present day freak. Although weighing scarcely more than a hundred the midget Englishman thinks nothing of scrap ping bantams and even featherweights usually winning too. Jack Britton, who won the welterweight title at 34 and still holds 1t, might also be termed a freak So for that mat ter is Johnny Kilbane who has held the featherweight title seven years and has witnessed the passing of 13 ring champions.

Field Marshal Haig
 Is Golf Enthusiast

Surrounded by a halo that will never grow dim, Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig has settled down in his home in England, where undoubtedly his principal pursue, and certainly the most p1easura ble. will be the chase of, the golf ball. The reaction from the terrific strain of responsi- bility which he experienced left the great soldier with that tired feeling which all who have had to face the terrors of war. know"
 The golf will give him what he needs, he knows. It was good friend to him on the field of fame in France-made him fit and kept him fit. It is no secret now that Sir Douglass played golf regularly, prac- tically througout the war, and he confided to a professional who shared a. round with him, that but for the good he got from this regular exer- else, it would have been difficult, if not impossible. for him to complete his siaautia job.

WALTER CAMP
 DROPPED FROM
 YALE FOOTBALL

New Haven, Conn, Dec 1S.---In ac- cordance with the constitution Of the Yale Athletic Association, Capt Cal lahan of the Yale football team yes terday afternoon named and the exec utive committee of the Board Of Con trol confirmed nominations for the new football committee to assist him in guiding Yale policies for the com ing year.
 Among the three not appointed is Walter Camp. who has been closely identified with Yale football for forty years and a controlling factor for twenty years of that time. He is one of the few men who received & re- election as captain. He led the Blue eleven in 1878 and 1879.
 Samuel Brinkerhoff Thorne better known as Brink Thorne. was named chairman to succeed Vance McCor- mick. He has devoted much time to Yale football for many years and his advice Is always earnestly sought. In the absence of MT. Mccormack in Europe, MT. Thorne acted as chairman last fall.
 The other members of the commit tee confirmed are John R. Fitzpatrick of New York. captain of the track team of 1911 and an All-American end on Ted Coy's eleven; Theodore Lilley, 1910, of Waterbury, also of Coy's team; Louis E. Stoddard, '99. the American polo player, and Lucius H. Biglow, '0s, captain of the champion ship eleven of 1907
 Biglow, Fitzpatrick and LiIley all played on teams that defeated both Harvard and Princeton and are firm believers in the modern game, incIud- ing forward passing. They all played after the forward pass came in.
 Louis E. Stoddard is one of the closest students of sports in the Unit ed States He was a member of the last American polo team which de- feated England.
 In addition to Camp. the other mem bers of the old committee who retire are Vance c. Mccormack, former chairman of the National Democratic Committee and captain of the Yale team of 1892, and Joseph R. Swan, who played on Charley Gould's team in 1901 and was head coach of George Chadwtck's team.

HARVARD GETS OREGON PLAYS
 BY TELEGRAPH

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 18-By way of novelty yesterday, long day letters from Portland, outlining the chief formations that have figured success fully in the Oregon attack, were re- ceived by Coach Bob Fisher of the Harvard football team. No expense was spared and several hundred words used to describe the different phases of the attack which the Coast eleven has used in it's principal bat ties and which they expect are good enough to defeat Harvard at Pasa- dena New Years Day.
 The football coaching staff had a meeting at which the dispatch was gone over carefully and during the afternoon the team was acquainted slightly with the gist of the informa- ton. Coach Jimmie Knox is plan ming to have picked squad of second team men try the formations out Fri day or Saturday forenoon, but the short notice may make this tmpossi- ble and the squad itself be forced to play against one another.
 Tackling the dummy and blocking
 
 baseball cage, but when the squad reached the Commonwealth Armory the work stiffened considerably Bob Fisher had his biggest staff of assist ants of the post-season. with Dick Wigglesworth, Derric Parmenter, Sam Felton, Eddie Mahan, Paul With ington, and Jimmie Knox handling the different groups.
 The linemen started their work with breaking through blocking, and interference fundamentals, while the backs worked on formations and bunting, taking out the opponents ends, and forward passing. Two diff ferent sessions of dummy scrinn:ase were held, during one of which the Oregon plays were given close atten- tion, but were not used extensively.
 Eddie Casey is suffering from a heavy cold and was not at practice, his place being taken by Swede Nei- son. The former has been struggling; with a cold for ten days, but expects to be rid of it before the team starts west. Jack Desmond was back on the field and played left end. Mitchell Gratwick's decision not to make the trip has reduced the playing squad to 2s zaAA

Tel Cocgan Wouldn't Fight Mitchell So
 Manager Cults Him

New York, Dec. 18.---Scotty Mon- teith, who managed Johnny Dundee for years and then took up Mel Coo gan, has dropped Coogan, he says.
 I've dropped him like a mouthful O hot porridge," declared Scotty in his Harry Lauder dialect. Hes been like a thistle in ma kiItfes ever since l took him. But we canna bide no longer in the same cot. We've par-r-rted company, as the dominic said O the dell"
 Once again 8, Mitchell is behind it all Three weeks ago Scotty took Coogan West with the intention of picking up some easy money in a bout with Pinkey Mitchell. Pinkey proved far from easy, however, and Mel was lucky to go the route after Mitchell had flattered him for a count of nine in the opening round.
 Now Ritchie Mitchell, Pinkey's brother and the better known Of the two, steps into the scene. On Tuesday Monteith matched Coogan to meet Ritchie Mitchell at the National A. C. of Philadelphia next Saturday night Everything was lovely until yester- day, when Coogan informed Monteith that he would not go through with the match. Scotty says Coogan's ex- cuse IS that he is n6s quite fit.
 But I ha' me doots about that" says Scotty. "Coogan is rather canny O meetin' any one O the clan O Nit. chen. But I canna help that I canna be maxim matches an ha,vin' him run oct on me. I'll do no more managing O Mel CooganH'
 Therein ends the last actsof a ring play that might be called "Scotty's Revenge It will be remembered that when Johnny Dundee decided to dispense with Monteith's services as manager Scotty vowed he would go out and get ., man who would beat Dundee. He secured Coogan, and Mel hardily outpointed Dundee, much to Monteith's joy. Scotty's championship dreams about Coogan faded into thin air when Mel was beaten by Pinkey Mitchell and knocked out by Benny Leonard
