"Off the bargain counters by Christ
mas seems to be the order of the day
in the American and National leagues.
John McGraw has started his dollar
drive for the 1920 pennant in the Ma
tionaI league. With ten months to go
before another National league pen
nant Is hauled to the masthead It
looks like John had a good chance to
do all the buying his heart desires
John Is ready to buy any kind of a
ballplayer that would look good in a
Giant uniform and already huge sums
of money are mentioned as an ordi-
nary baseball man would speak of a
bag OF peanuts. What does McGraw
care If he can win a flag? Evidently
New York baseball fans are for a. pen
nant-winning ball club and nothing
less. John got a late start last year,
but he's on the job early for the 1920
season.
The Reds have let it be known that
Charley See and Sherry Magee would
not be among them next year. That
means another outfielder Is needed.
That is where McGraw comes in. He
would like to have Jimmy Ring Of the
Reds, and he would be willing to Sc
cure a good outfielder for Moran in
mOIdD 10 pretty Wcl llAtd
for pitchers, but a lot of Cincy fans
would hate to see man like Ring
leaving town. He is one of the bright
est looking pitching prospects in the
league.
But the Reds must have another
outfielder. Pat Duncan surely deliv-
cred for Moran in the world series
and at the close of the National race
and Eddie Roush and Greasy Neale
will be back on the Job. Roush, Neale
and Duncan make up fine trio Of
outfielders, but what If Duncan should
prove flash in the pan or one Of the
other gardeners suffer injuries? Then
Moran would be in the same fix he
was in 1919. With a corking good out
field the Reds chances to win another
pennant are mighty bright.
But to win pennant for New York
McGraw realizes he must replace
about half of his present working
force. The infield is pretty well shot.
McGraw has his eyes on Roger Horns
by. They have been on Roger for over
year, but the scrappy Muggsy be-
lieves a deal will go through this time.
Giants who are in danger of losing
out include the famous Bonnie Kauff
along with veteran members of the
infield. Bonnie isn't through as big
| Lacquer, but McGraw isn't as sweet on
| him as he used to be and he thinks
Bonnie would look better on some
other team.
In the American league the Cleve-
land Indians are hot on the trail of a
left-hander. With good portsider or
the staff the Indians might win. The
White Sox will do some bolstering
They've got to If Comiskey's club is
in the race. The 1919 lineup can't pull
through. Chick Gandil is soured or

Is Fielding H. Yost losing his pep?
Is age winning over the veteran coach
whose football teams have won 80
per cent of their victories in 20 years?
Is his keen football brain dulled? Is
that aggressiveness which he insists
on in every man OF the squad failing
in his own makeup?
II is hard to relegate such a man to
the scrap heap of the gridiron and yet
his team of 1919 has made one of the
worst records in modern Michigan his
tory.
Blessed with material enough for
two teams Yost started off the 1919
fight with hopes high. Every school
in the western conference feared him.
Ohio state thought the Michigan team
would be the hardest to beat. Michi-
gan was hard for Ohio, but Chicago,
Illinois, and Minnesota found it easy.
Their fight was gone after the first
defeat.
Yost has been turning out some OF
the greatest football teams in the
country. Walter Camps All-American
generally contained the name OF a
Michigan star.
Hurry Up" seems to be on the
wane. His team this season lacked
the fight, the resourcefulness, the ac-
curacy seen in his teams of former
years. The men appeared less well
drilled on the minor details Of the
game and Yost always was a stickler
for details.
They say he'll come back at Mich
igan. He certainly doesn't appear old
and decrepit for he was out nearly
every day OF the 1919 campaign in
football toys himself. and quite fire.
quently demonstrated his football les
sons by actual participation. Though
around so years of age he's rather
agile. He is a large and powerfully
built man. having starred at full ano
tackle in his college days. His features
are bronzed and he wears a wide
smile.
He is not harsh nor quick spoken
He picks his words carefully, but
they sting and penetrate the skin o.
offending players.
His between the halves talks to hi
men have won many games for Mich
igan.

KRAMER BEATS DILLON

TUCSON, Ariz Dec. Danny
Kramer of Los Angeles was given a
decision over Paddy Dillon, of San
Diego, in the fourth round of their
scheduled 10-round bout here tonight.
Kramer took the lead at the beginning
of the round, rushed Dillon to the
ropes and hammered him steadily for
10 seconds. Dillon broke away but in
the open fighting that followed Kramer
floored him. Dillon was up at the
count Of 10 but was in no condition to
continue the fight.
In the semi final, George Moss of
Los Angeles was given the decision
over Kid Beaver of Yuma. Moss out
pointed Beaver in almost every round,
the Yuma boy failing to understand
Moss shifting tactics.

The Yankees will do some spending,
too. Both New York clubs are intent
on 1920 pennants and they're willing
to go deep into their purses.
The war between Frazee. Rupert
and Comiskey on one side, and Ban
Johnson and the owners of Detroit,
Cleveland, Washington, Philadelphia
and st. Louis on the other, is the old

 JChn Adams Thayer, executive sec retary of the Periodical Publishers Association, made it known that the publishers have received numerous in vitations to move out of New York but that the present at least they would rather crush out the radica Is in New York than move elsewhere and face the same problem in another ter ritory."

 In the course of his testimony Judge Gary reviewed. conditions leading up to the strike and discussed at length his refusal to meet the steel workers national committee To have neSotlat- ed with the committee. he said, would have been a departure from the com pany $ policy to treat directly with its employees and would have damaged the prestige ot the open shop policy
 Discussing this point with senator Borah, republican, Idaho, he said con ditions night arise under witch he might talk with union leaders not em- ployed by the company.
 Provided they said fairly that they represented 15 per cent. of the men employed, for instance" he said. T might discuss the wishes of that 15 per cent. with them.'
 MT. Gary brushed aside the charges Of union leaders that the corporation had mistreated it's men with the state ment that in no basic industry in the world were the men better treated or paid higher wages. Later he went into welfare work of the company among its employees and presented figures to show that employees generally, re- ceiVed approximately three times as much now as they did in 1914
 Although pressed by Senator Ken yon, chairman of the investigating committee, MT. Gary refused to discuss the efforts by President Wilson to bA 4iiS dDOuL all untleFSJand1nS between the cooperation officials and the union leaders and avert the strike.
 W hen the president communicates with a private citizen" he said it isn't courtesy for the person so approached to say what the comanunica ton was"
 Revertins at the end of the day to his general view of the situation Judge Gary said:
 The general public now requires in creased production. That may even necessitate increased hours. ID to the limit set by the willingness of work CTS and their health. But there is no use of talking about increased wages and decreased product ion and at the same time roaring about rising prices. m in favor of high wages. but there comes a time when there is a limit
