Leonard and Willie
 Jackson Likely to
 Mingle Again Soon

Benny Leonard is willing to meet Willie Jackson in a bout for the lightweight crown before Christmas, but Benny wants to weight 135 pounds eight hours before the muss. Jackson insists on 135 ringside, which makes all the difference in the world
 It looks ass if Jackson should waive his objections and let the champ have it his way about the weight, as he is getting a royal chance at the ti- tie, has nothing to lose and will be certain to grab off large piece of coin for his end-win, lose or police
 A Leonard-Jackson battle would be a vale of a melee and it is far b1t- ter attraction than the Leonard-Ten- dler. While it is generally conceded that Leonard would hold Jackson safe, he would know he'd been in a box fight when the thing was over.

Johnny Noye, Denver Boy, Claims Benny
 Leonard's Title Now

Since Johnny Noye won from Lew Tender on foul in Denver recent ly he has claimed the lightweight championship. Noye bases his claim to the title on the fact that Benny Leonard can no longer make the lightweight limit of 133 pounds and Lew Tender was considered the best man of his class. Noye is now willing to meet the Philadelphia battler in q return engagement, and is also ready to tackle Leonard at any time Benny says the word. t1oye is willing to meet Leonard at any of the clubs in Nsw Jersey. However, 1t is pro- pabIe that the bout will not be ar ranged, as Noye makes one provi- sion, and that is that the title holder must make the lightweight limit.
 According to word from Denver, where the Tendler-Noye battle was staged the Quaker City lightweight was warned twice by the referee for hitting low before he was finally dis qualified in the third round. After the referee awarded the bout to Noye the battler was examined, and the pfaysician,s report said that Noye was suffering from bruises in the right Grofn-

POOR SHOUTING BY RIBB0.S IS
 CAUSE 0F LOSS

The Blue Ribbons had an epidemic of poor shooting, both from the field and foul line last night, and lost q thrilling game to Jersey City at Col enfaI hall by 20 to 19. There was a large crowd on hand and the rooter1 had good time cheering the home club and kidding the Visitors.
 The fans thought surely the Rib bons would win out in the last min ute of play when Stewart had an easy chance but he missed the basket by small margin. Eddie White had the last chance before the whistle blew and he also missed. The Rib bons were poor in shooting fouls as they missed eight out of IT attempts.
 Because of the illness of Schwab, who was on hand but unable to play, it was necessary to move Dehnert to forward. White starred for the Rib bons with record of four goals from the field.
 Jersey City made one less field goal than the Ribbons but the Skeeters were more accurate in foul shooting Holman and Powers did fine work for the visitors. The score:

MCGKhU THINKS
 1913 PITCHING STAFF WAS BEST

New York, Nov. 1e-John Me
 draw, manager of the Giants, says
 nat his pitching staff durina August, 3l9 was the greatest he ever has commanded. There was no Mathew son on the staff, but there were five
 men, each of them a star f the first magnitude. Even Moran's high class quintet of EIer, Ring, Ruether, Sal lee and Fisher could not obtain pre-
 cedence over Fred Toney, Jesse Branes, Artie Neff, Rube --enton and Phil Douglas.
 While Douglas is fellow who is
 likely to break out at any moment
 one cannot deny his natural ability.
 With the possible exception of Wal
 ter Johnson and Grover Alexander
 no pitchers in baseball have been equipped by nature with a Ibetter
 pitching physique than Douglas
 Those big, hulking shoulders enable
 him to serve the ball with a measure of speed that few pitchers can gen. crate.
 It is with this staff that McGraw intends to open the 1920 season, and it now is his intention to build up a team which will be worthy of such pitchers.
 Prior to the end of the 1919 cam
 paign the greatest pitching staff that i the Giants ever possessed was that of the champions of 1904 and 1905.
 Though McGraw's later champions i had more pitching stars than this | early aggregation no Giant pitching pair ever had the success or ever l could be depended on to the extent i of Mathewson and McGinnity. l Big Six in those early years was | just in his prime, while McGinnity, 1 who reached his crest much later in i life than Matty, also was at the height ! of his career. It was in those years i that the fans used to come out to see the youthful college wonder, Ma 1 thewson, while McGinnity was ac- i quiring national fame as an iron man i by pitching double headers regular. !

OFFER SIOO,OOO
 FOR FAIR PLAY
 OF TRACK FAME

New York, Nov. 1e - Clifford A. Cochran is negotiating with Major August Belmont for the purchase of the thoroughbred stallion Fair Play for a price said to be s100,000.
 Fair Play, the 15-year-old son of Hastings-Fairy Gold, is the sire of Man O War, the outstanding two year-o1d this season, which won nine out of ten races, including the Hope full and the Futurity. and Mad Halter which ranks near the top among the three-year-olds of 1919.
 Major Belmont is unwilling to lose entirely the services of so valuable a sire, so that it will be specified in the bill of sale that Fair Play must not leave Kentucky-he is at present standing at the chairman of the Jockey Clubs nursery stud-for a period of three years and that he re- tains the right to send ten mares to him each year during that period.
 Only one horse ever sold in this country brought a higher figure, and that was Rock Sand, which was bought by syndicate of English and French breeders from Major Belmont in 1912 for $150,00O.

 MHj02LE:h.GUER
 MAY COME BECK

Dan Griner, the big pitcher who served with the Cardinals and Rob- ins during a rather brief major lea que career and who is now with the Vernon club of the Pacific Coast Lea gueh, made an excellent showing in the recent series between Vernon and St. Paul He started three games and won them all. and h. did not allow a single earned run in the twenty seven innings he pitched. He used his 'mud' ball in one game, but in the two others which were played under the American Association rule pro- hibiting the application of any for eign substance to the ball, he aban- dcned this delivery and hurled re- markedly well without it. According to Frank Chance and other baseball men on the coast, Griner never was as good as he is at the present time, and he may come back to the major leagues.

Ms.CNATES MEET
 10 GET SERIES
 COIN FOR TANKS

New York, Nov. 19-SpeciaI meet ing of the Board of Directors of the American League will be held at the Biltmore Hotel, today. Ban John son, executive of the organization, is expected in this city some time this week." but even if Ban reaches here it is hardly likely that he will attend the conclave.
 The meeting has been called for the purpose of considering and taking action on the failure of the National Commission to act on the resolution of the Board of Directors at it's special meeting at which the board officially awarded third place in the 1919 American League pen nant race to the New York club.
 Another resolution adopted at that meeting authorized, empowered and specifically directed the National Commission to pay forthwith to the New York players their part of the worlds series money.
 After receiving the boards order, Garry Hermann, president of the worlds champion Reds, and chair man of the National Commission call ed a meeting of that body to be held in this city. Hermann hurried East ana Tor two days conferred with John Heydler, president of the Ma tional Les que, about the matter.
 The Board of Directors of the American League. were displeased over the postponement. Thus the talkfest of the Board of Directors this afternoon. It was reported last night that the board will take the case to court if the money is not turned over to the members of the Yankees on a certain date.

Washington, Pa., Nov. 1s-Centre College of Danvil1e, Ky, conqueror of West Virginia, and the tupstart'' of the 1919 football season, wants to ar range a post season game with Wash ington and Jefferson. A football en- thusiast of Charleston, W. Va, repre- senting the college sport devotees of the Mountain State capital and the alumni of Centre College, called John H.

FANS ID GIVE
 MORAN HOME
 IN CINCINNATI

Cincinnati, O., Nov 15.-Patrick 1oran of Fftchburg, Mass, leader of the worlds champion Redlegs, has done for Cincinnati what no other baseball man could do in the last 50 years, and in retu--, the fans of Cincinnati, from the wea1thiest to the season ticket holders of the bleachers. are going to do what they did for no other manager in this mans town. Pat has been dined and feted on numerous occasions since he planted the 1919 pennant in this city and then brought home the worlds series flag, but the fans have deter mined that they want to show their appreciation in a far more substan- tial manner. So they have decided to buy Pat a home.
 All that Is necessary for Moran to is to say the word, come to the city of Ohio, make his selection of handsome residence and the deed will be turned over to him.
 Pat has said all along that he would like to make this city his home since he is going to manage the base ball team here for at least a year more. He has also intimated that he would have stayed here this winter but the health of his family had to be taken into consideration and FHitchburg, Mass, fits in admirably with the welfare of his better half and young son. So 1t is going to take a lot of persuasion to get he genial Pat to come out here to live perman- ent1y.
 But Cincinatians have a way of doing things when they really want to and there are enough big men in the burg to do the big things, so it is taken as a matter of course that the leader of the world champions can be persuaded to give up his Eastern residence for a home in one of the suburbs of Cincinnati
 An important announcement Is ex- pected when August Hermann, pres- ident of the worlds champions, gets back from his Eastern trip. It is said that the proposition will be put to the Red leader with the assurance that the sums pledged to date by the fans are sufficient to purchase a fine home and that the Red president use all his influence in an effort to get the miracle man. to become a permanent resident here.

TIGERS COACH WANTS ANNUAL
 PENN. CAME

New York, Nov. 19-There is a adelphia in regard to the proposed resumption of football between Penn and Princeton. The lategt report went out when Bill Roper went op record as beIng in favor of Penn-Princeton contest. Roper spoke as follows:
 Personally, I would like to see a Penn-Princeton game, but this is only my own opinion. I have no idea of the attitude of the Princeton ath- letic authorities, and, of course, the scheduling of a game would depend entirely upon their wishes and those of the Pennsylvania authorities -s
 Roper said further that he would like to see a Penn-Princeton game each Thanksgiving Day. ETen if the game should be arranged, it is hardly likely, however, that, it would be all lowed to displace the Cornell Thanks giving Day fixture, which has been played on Franklin Field every year from 1897 to date, inclusive; every year, save one. since the Harvard Penn game on Thanksgiving Day in 1896. The PennCorneu contest was not played last year on account of the war and Dartmouth filled in.
 The discussion of the date for the game, however before the contest even has been arranged, borders closely upon the act or trying to cross ones bridges in advance. Played any where on any date. though, there is no doubt that the game would be highly attractive to undergraduates and alumni of both institutions. It would help football both at Prince and at Pennsylvania.
 The big Red and Blue team has shown this year beyond all question that it deserves the best there is in football, and even non-partisan foot ball followers would be glad to see Pennsylvania regain the place that it deserves-the pace from which it fell when it began to defeat Harvard with too much regularity. Harvard was the last of the Big Three to keep Penn on it's schedule. That was be- cause Harvard sided with Penn in the break between Yale and Princeton on one side and Penn and Harvard on the other. Yale and Princeton ob- jected to Harvard and Penn playing their many professional students. That dispute long has been forgotten by Penn and Princeton, however, and i everything seems set for the resump- ton of the game that used to be one of the features of the year.

Cincinnati Fans Are
 Buying 1920 Tickets

That Redland fans are looking for ward keenly to the coming of another pennant fight Is evidenced by the fact that already, the Cincinati club has received requests for reservations for the opening game of the 1920 campaign. The opening game of the season in Cincinau is always quite an affair, and it is a common thing for rabid fans to put in their request for tickets as early as the first of the year, but this is the first time in the memory of even Frank Bancroft that the bugs have been on the job as early as this. Citizens of Cincinnati who are given to laying wagers now and then are said to be betting that the crowd that sees the opening gam e next spring will be larger than that which attended the sixth game of the late worlds series. The turnstiles reg istered more than 32, 600 admissions to the game in que gtion.

A. C., of Pittsburgh. Of the trio only Donze came through his first bout victoriously.
 The team arrived at Begen, No-- way, Nov. 10, and made it's first com petitive appearance in a tournament conducted at the Sparta Club, Copen- hagen, Denmark, last Saturday night. Donze drew as his opponent one Holm and gained the judges award rather handily. Cassidy exchanged blows with a boxer by the name of Johan- sen and was defeated in three stiffly contested rounds, according to the ca bfegram sent by Emil Andersen, sec retary of the Sparta Club.

Eastern football men are hopin. P5-in"eton will not accept the in 'ltsition from PasadeIla, Cal. to play some Coast eleven in that city on New Years day. It is felt -hat such an invasion does not re- fleet much credit upon an casterI, eleven ipasnuch as the players are not in top form after q long EacatiCn. Eastern teams have never won New Years game out there, although Brown and Penn syIya:iR have made the trip. The long ride across the country and the change in climate are too much for the invaders.
