FOU? YANKEE VETERANS TC
 BE MISSING NEXT SEASON
Elo1lo 4sun Baker, Hannah Bodie and Pratt Will Be Replaced By Faster Players Manager Higgins
 Hints In Interview

New York, Nov. 4-That several old familiar faces, notably Frank Baker, Truck Hannah, Ping Bodie and DerriH Pratt. may be missing from the lineup when the Yankees take the field next season was indf- cated by remarks dropped by Miller Huggins yesterday. It was appar- ent that Huggins is convinced there is no Adelina Patti aspect about Bak- CTS retirement this time and that the Home Run King has retired from baseball to his Trappe farm for good and for all.
 "Tn probably have to make a change in my catching staff" says Huggins, and that can be taken to mean Truck" Hannah is to be trad ed, sold or released.
 There will be at least one change in my outfeld," declared the Yankee pilot If Baker does not return I'll have to bring Fewster In from the outfleld and play him at third I may make another change in the out field in addition" From the last sentence it is inferred that Huggins may think Bodie has outgrown his usefulness as a Yankee gardener.
 Huggins apparently does not take much stock in Derri1I Platt's decIara- ton that he is through with baseball,

TACKLE PLACE ON YALE TEAM
 IS STILL OPEN

New Haven, Nov. 4 - Taking ad vantage of the cold weather and pos sibly because the Brown game looms up at the end of the week. Al Sharpe sent the Yale varsity into it's first Monday scrimmage of the year yesterday afternoon.
 With Walker, Kirkpatrick and Munger all absent from the field be- cause of classes. Calhoun, the big sophomore, had a tryout at tackle on the varsity. He is a former Hotch- kiss school lineman. He weighs 184 pounds and is IS years old. He should be heard from next year if not this.
 This tackle position, by the way, is still open, with Munger pressing the veterans Walker and Kirkpatrick very hard. Munger played at Andover and on the Yale freshman team in 1917. He weighs 1S0 pounds and is very fast He is not as experienced at Kirkpatrick, but faster. and has a better football head than Walker.
 There is more doubt about this po- sition than any other in the line, for Dickens has surely. won the other place for himself. He outshone the other forwards in the game on Sat urday and has been coming on for several weeks. Dickens weighs 192 pounds and played at Chestnut Hill Academy and on the freshman team of two years ago.
 Capt Callahan played throughout the scrfmnage, and it seemed that his long rest had not made his foot ball ability rusty. He will surely play against Brown
 Those who are following the team closely recalled the fact that Calla- han didn't play in the early season games Of Capt. Backs team because of injuries, Vorys doing the passing, but in the games at the end the present leader was much in evidence,

nerve was badly effected and that he might go permanently blind if he continued the uneven battle. "Tn die before I quit!' gurgled Ketchel through great gobs of blood in his mouth. He took his knockout in the next round, weakly waving his hand for no interference as he heard the roar of the spectators to have 1t stopped. Two months later he came back and beat Papke into submission in eleven bitter rounds.
 A year later Ketchel almost won the heavyweight title from Jack Johnson. Stanley put Jack down with a terrific right to the jaw and in his anxiety to finish the negro ran into a knockout which removed all his front teeth. Someone picked them up and gave them to Stanley after the battle. Downtown Ketchel met his crestfaIlen manager Willus Britt.
 "Cheer up, Willus," said Stanley through his battered features. And drawing his teeth from his pocket Stanley threw them out on a table with the crap-shooter's click of the fingers: Let's see if I can throw SeVen.'

for Miller yesterday made no allusion to any second base problem. IL would not be at all surprising, how ever, to see Fewster stationed at the midway next season and Meusel, the rookie brother of 'Irish'' Meusel of the Phillies, or PinnelH, another Coast leaguer, holding down third base.
 Meusel has been slated for an out field berth, but as the youngster broke into the game as a third baseman and can play the bag well, he is likely to be given a chance to show his paces around the difficult corner. If Pratt returns the Yankee outfield probably will consist of Lewis, Meusel. and Wick and the infield of Pipp, Pratt, Peckinpaugh and Fewster.
 Huggins says he is satisfied with his pitching staff, and except for an addition of a couple of rockies will stand rat. Miller yesterday was en- thusiastie over the ability of Collins, the big right handler recently secured from the Dallas club of the Texas League. According to Higgins the big fellow-Collins stands six feet four inches in his sockvis as fine a pitching prospect as has come up in several years.

 BOUT AT ACORN SHOW

In the final bout at the Acorn A. c. last night Freddy Bosse of this city and Kid Pappas of Rhode Island fought a four-round draw. It was the first time decisions were given in local bouts, and Young McAuliffe was the referee who handed out the rulings in satisfactory style. He stepped aside in the third bout to let Slim Brennan, the former local pro- moter, but now of Newark, N. J., take charge. Bosse landed frequently in the main bout but could not hurt Pappas.
 In the semi-f1nal Nick Fitzsimmons won the decision over Jeff Began. Panama Joe Dixon beat K. O. Sulli- van, the latter being so badly out classed that the referee stopped the bout in the third. Young O'Connell was awarded the decision over Young O'Leary after four fast rounds.

New York, Nov. Aloe Stecher, the Western farmer boy, defeated Strang- Ter Lewis with his deadly scissors hold. in Madison Square Garden last night. The end came after 1:31 2-5 of wrestling when Stecher, after talk ing a lot of punishment, got a double wrist hold and a body scissors and Lewis succumbed to it's relentless clutch.
 Just before the end came Lewis tried desperately to finish Stecher with a head hold. Four times in success sion, Lewis had Stecher close to de- feat with his arm clutched about his opponents head like a steel band.
 Stecher took this painful gruelling so gamely that the crowd, which packed the Garden, cheered him mad ly every time he broke free. Lewis tired himself with his persistent eff forts to crush Stecher's head. It was after his last head hold that Stecher wound his legs about his opponent like grapevine.

CURLING OF PACKERS URGED
Live Stock Association Demands Pass
age of kendrck and Kenyon Bills
For Federal Regulations.

Washington.-Ex OF the
"big five' packers was the burden OF
a three-hour argument made before
the Senate Agriculture Committee by
Edward L. Burke, of Omaha, Neb ,
vice President of the American Ma
tional Live Stock Association. He
asked for the immediate passage OF
the Kendrick and Kenyon bills for
Federal regulation of the packing in
dustry. "What the big packers need,
Mr.. Burke declared, sis common sense
enough to accept fair Federal regula-
tion. The trouble in the industry is
that they think themselves bigger than
the Government, and the end of the
course will be to send them straight
TO destruction" The live stock asso-
citation, Mr.. Burke said, was proud OF
its connection with the Federal Trade
Commission investigation of the indus
try, but, he added, 'the statement that
the association used undue influence
with the commission is a lie."
