New York, Oct IS. - NO one should blame Miller tJuggtns for fail ing to win the American league pen nant." remarked Ty Cobb when re- gently in this city,
 Whercupon Ty proceeded to erect steel and concrete aiibi to prove the Yank commander was in no way re- sponsfbIe for the defeat of his club,
 Cobh's vote made ic practically un- anirnouS. 4or the retention of Hug gins as manager of the Yankees nn- other seae0n has drawn widespread approval throughout the world Cf baseball
 Accep, it from Cobb. the critic who charged Hugeins personally with the loss J1 t!1e pennant. drew the brown derby and the plaid paiamas, not to mention the st ffron socks. the yer million vest and the canary cravat,
 "Huggins came into the American League ct a .ough time to win the pennant, asserted T. Raymond, "It must be admitted he had fine ball club but there were three others just as good. if not trifle better.
 ''We in Detroit had the finest ball club I have seen Jennings manage in a number Of years, and yet we could not win. Cleveland was a hard club to beat at any time, and go was Chicago, The American Ieague was relatively stronger this last setsoI chan it has ever been. Therefore one should not blame Huggins or any other manager for not winning"
 Certainly we trail with Cobb in his contention concerning the superiority of the American League of 1919 to the circuit of other years.
 Furthermore, we believe the 4.meri- can was more formidable over all and particularly in the first division than the National. And this regardless of the outcome of the world series,
 Campaigning against the weaker clubs Of the seaboard wing was q garden fete for the Tanks, rePlete with ice cream and cake and plenty of sweet music. New York looked every inch potential champions.
 But when the powerful Western machines swung into top stride New Yorl1's outlook soon was swathed in dark brown doubt and a few misgiv- ings. It was the Western clubs that enchred New York out of the pen nant.

Cincinnati, Oct 1s.-"I am going right home 10 my dad" said Man ager Pat Moran of the Worlds Champion Rods, as he shook the rain off his topcoat at the Union Central 1iai!road Station yesterday after noon.
 He was starting for his home city. Fi-chburs, Mass.
 Sec. Frank Bancroft, the veteran official Of the Reds, whose home $ also in New England. accompanied Moran 10 the train and said he better prepare for Q big welcome ali FTtchburg. Moran wore a new suit, new shoes and new hat. The top coat was about the color of the En- erald Isle.
 Moran will return to Cincinnati soon, as he intends 10 establish his home here, having been engaged at. a largely increased salary to manage the Reds nez- year. It is said he will make number of lectures this Winter, DrincinalIy before the Knights Of Columbus, and that MT Bancroft will appear with ! in on the lecture platform.

PHI. DOUGLAS NOT 0N CIANTS'
 RESERVE LIST

New York, Oct. 18.-John Heydler, president of the National League, yesterday gave cut the full list of National League players who have been reserved for the season of 1920. Most of the clubs are recruited up to their full win ar limit of thirty-five and the Brooklyn club actually is two over the limit. The Dodgers have tTf1-ty--seven men on their reserve list.
 The club with the smallest reserve list is the Pittsburgh aggregation, as Barney Dreyfuss has reserved only twenty three athletes fo~ ncNL Jason. Dreyfuss. however, has six men on his voluntary retired list and one man suspended
 The most outstanding feature of the reserve list of the Clans is that the name of Phil Douglas does not appear anywhere. not ev-U as q suspended player. Whether this was an oversight CT means that McGraw has cut off the big pitcher entirely remains to be seen. Douglass name does not appear on the New York slate
 Heinie Zimmerman, who had an indefinite suspension plastered on him On the last Giant Western trip, evidently is in good standing again. He appears on the regular New York list Another, interesting name on the New York reserve list is Eddie Sick ing. the young infielder. McCrracw and William Baker, president of the Phil lies, had quite a spat on the Polo Grounds last summer on the subject Of Sicking McGra.w asserted he only loaned Sicking to the Phillies when Bancroft broke his leg. while Bakers argument was that he got the play CT by refusing to waive on him and had full title to his services. McGraw evidently converted Baker to his point of view

Smith-NTurray's crack bowling team downed the How-gud outft- at the Palace alleys two games out of three, increasing their lead ii the AIercan- tile League.
 The disappointment os the even ing was the failure of R. Arnold. the seIf-admiLred ,'ack of the Sm.tf- Murray team. to roll anywhere near normal average.

NOW ARE DOG DAYS.
IN WEAKFISHING
An Every Year Occurrence in
Jamaica Bay; Pickup Time
Almost Due.

We are in the weakfishing dog days.
for the species are not biting any too
well in Jamaica Bay. The guides have
IL that there is shark or two behind
the boat and in some cases this is quite
true But the fact remains nevertheless
that the fish are not there. 1t happens
every year in August Last year the
gap was filled In by the appearance OF
the weakfish in big schools off Manhat-
tan Beach. and the guides made long
trips from Canarsie out to the open
water and with startling results in some
cases. The fish may be out there now
but no one seems to have located them
as yet.
AS rule the fishing picks up again
toward the end of August and usually
remains good through September, and
toward the end of September in come
the big tide runners that are eagerly
sought by the weakfisherman.
There are any amount OF snappers in
the bay, and 1t is not easy to get your
bait back far enough to reach the weak
fish, for the little fellows tear of from
the hook. And II your lead is heavy
enough to escape them you run into
the lafayettes or the porgies. Speaking
of lafayettes. the bay is fairly alive
with them, and they are quite large
Freddie the foatman at Boegers al
Canarsie, who probably cleans more
fish In week than most people clean
in lifetime, says he has cleaned q
number of lafayettes lately OF more
than a pound each.
Blue crabs are so plentiful In Jamaica
Bay this year that they are constantly
passing the anchored boats swimming
along with the tide, One fisherman said
that he had seapped fourteen crabs In an
hour from his anchored boat while weak.
fishing. When he would see crat
coming along with the tide he just
Melted It.
The crabs are full grown, and It IL
many year since the bay has had sc
many of them, There are a great many
soft crabs and shredders among them
and this may in a measure account for
the poor weakfishing.
