"KEWPIE" PENNINGTON
AND FRED. BAILEY
HOLD-OUTS

Fred Bailey, one of the fastest out
fields in the Eastern league and the
leading man with the willow for the 10
cal club during last seasons campaign,
will not return to the fold again next
year and George "Kewpie" Pennington
is at present a holdout.
These facts were established in let
ter received from the chunky HEAVIER
who was the "ace" of the Hartford
pitchers last season. George is appar-
emily very much peeved at the Hart
ford magnate and does not greatly fav-
or working under him another year.
DOC" wants to be sold and if he isn't,
he says that Clarkin will have to come
through with larger salary than he re-
ceived last year and bonus to boot.
league pitchers averages to Clarkin, -
he says in his letter, and demand that
he make a deal for me. He told Bailey
that he had a chance to sell me but that
he wanted to keep me to open up the
new park Fred said in his letter to me
that C1arkin told him that he would not
let me go at any price. | will demand
that he sell me but if he does not he
will have to pay me bonus and big
league salary or | will not be up there
again"
Bailey according to George, has writ
ten to the Hartford magnate and in
formed him that he must trade for him
as he was not going to play for the
owner of the Hartford club any more.
If Bailey has definitely decided not to
return to Hartford and Clarkin balks
on increasing Pennington's salary, it
will mean the loss of two good men on
the diamond, two favorites with the
Hartford fans. Bailey was a dangerous
sticker, good outfelder and a fast
baserunner while George was unques-
tionably one of the best pitchers in the
league. With any kind of stickwork
and support behind him, "Kewpie"
would not have lost the 10 games cred
tied against him in the official pitching
averages, though George says he lost
only nine.

BRENNAN GOING ON
STAGE FOR SEVEN WEEKS

Bill Brennan, Chicago heavyweight,
experienced the Furnishing sensation of
Jack Dempsey's blows, and the hurnilia-
ton of defeat at the hands of the
worlds heavyweight champion, but even
in his setback there were influences
which considerably mitigated the sting.
The distinction of having lasted longer
against Dempsey than any two or three
other heavyweights combined was
generous solace in itself, but there is
another source of balm for Brennan's
injured feelings, which was disclosed
this week by Leo D. Flynn, the Chi
Cagoan's vOluable manager.
Brennan is going on the stage. Man
ager Flynn announced that he would
sign a contract soon, whereby his big
heavyweight would be afforded an OPP
portunity to exhibit his boxing skill
seven weeks. In addition, opportunities
for moving picture work are being Of
fered Flynn for Brennan, but as yet
nothing definite has been done on the
screen proposition.
Manager Flynn is all ready to affix
his signature to a contract which will
make a Thespian out of Brennan. A
meeting is scheduled for Monday. at
which it is expected the final details for
the stage work will be arranged. Bren-
nan. Flynn said; will tour with a bur-
lesque show, starting soon after the
holidays, and extending over period of
seven weeks.

ROBBIE HAS MAGNETIC
EYE FOR PITCHERS
ara :: :: The Sporting World :: s $::

Wilbert Robinson is credited with
first developing RUDE Marquard into a
good pitcher for the Giants and restor-
ing him to good standing among the.
National leagues left-handers some
years later, when McGraw discarded
him.
Undoubtedly Robinson knows how to
bring pitching talent to the surface.
He stands alone as a successful tutor of
young boxmen. His greatest asset,
however, is a wonderful personality.
Ball players like to work for him.
In his day. Robbie has polished I'D
and maybe he will be able to jolly
Walter Ruether, the former Red, into
taking his profession seriously. Your
Uncle Wilbert's only notable failure
along these lines was "Shuf1in' Phil"
Douglas. now with the Giants.
Phil was an unregenerate and ire
sponsible young man when the Cincin-
natl club passed him along to Brooklyn
several years ago. Robbie carried him
along for a season, and then decided
that he could not afford to waste any
more time on a pitcher who was con-
stantly absenting himself for days and
sometimes weeks at a time. Douglas
was passed up by three National league
clubs before he landed with McGraw
and settled down.
Now we find the Reds passing an
other "hard-to-handle" pitcher along to
Uncle Robby, the master mouider.
Dutch" played too much outside the
ball park in Red1and, and he was
blamed for no little share in the failure
of the Reds to repeat as National league
champions.
Marquard should prosper in Cincin-
natl. The RUDE has long since passed
the days of foolishness. He is a con-
scientious workman and amenable to
discipline We are sorry to see the
old Rube passing out as a character in
metropolitan baseball.

THE TRIPLE THREATERS
AS VIEWED BY RICE

There has been a big scarcity this
season of triple-threat backs of the
Mahan type; not Mahans, for they are
always scarce, but merely Mahan types,
says GrantIand Rice in the New York
Tribune.
The triple threaten can kick, forward
pass and lead the rushing game. Gipp
was far and away the best, not very
far away from being another Mahan.
Lourie and Robertson were good, but
not as good in this way as Maury
Trimble, of Princeton, was last year.
Eddie Casey wasn't a triple threaten,
for Eddie couldn't kick.
Princeton, with Laurie and Garrity,
has a big margin over Harvard and
Yale in the way of backheld brilliants.
BY another year Owen, of Harvard,
will be hard to displace, but he didn't
quite arrive at stardom in 1920.
Yale had no backheld stars to class
ton was too erratic, Aldrch too brittle
Yale hasn't had strong triple-threat
back now for many years. Perhaps
the Blue will at last get this needed
asset in 1921, when young O'Hearn
steps out upon the field. Just one man
of this type is a big aid to any ma
chine, for minus any such performer
there is little chance for the reception
needed to carry through successful
attack
Gpp alone was worth two or three
good specialists for Notre Dame, for
when he dropped back the defense had
no idea whether he intended to pass,
kick. slide off tackle or run an end
And he could do all four jobs better
than any of the specialists could do one.

MORE ANENT THE
DEMPSEY Jeremiah BOUT

The aftermath of the Dempsey-Bren-
nan bout is the controversy over Demp-
sey's new form of punishment on an
opponent. One New York sport writer
seems to have the right dope on Jack S
latest. He says:
Dempsey used the deadly rabbit
punch to finish off Bill Brennan with.
The rabbit punch is a blow to the back
of the neck at the base of the skull.
When rabbits are killed, they are hit
with stick on the back of the neck
in just such manner.
The blow was named thus because
of that fact
The punch is legitimate, but feared
by fighters.
Years ago Jack Kearns took Milburn
or six fights in a row with knockouts
tiles in Australia passed a law declar-
ing it foul blow
"Saylor was an adept in the use of
the club-like blow. No one could even
initiate him. With that punch taken
away from him he wasn't quite so sue
cessfu1.
Jess Willard is another man who
uses the rabbit punch. At close quarters
he can reach around and sock an oppon-
ent on the back of the neck without
trouble.
There was some discussion about the
punch before the Dempsey-Willard
quarrel at Toledo. Some thought it I'M
fair, while others insisted that it was
quite legitimate. Willard finally an
nounced that he would not use it in the
fight with Dempsey and things cooled
off. He didn't have chance to use it,
ANYWAY "

TY COBB WILL
MANAGE TIGERS

New York, Dec. 23.-Baseballs prima
donna, the fercest and most te1npera-
mental player i'll the national game, a
star of IA years whose career is filled
with brilliant baseball, fights. braWls
and discussions, is now a big time man
ager
Ty Cobb the Georgia peach, the or
iginal hero before Babe Ruth, has sign
ed a contract to manage the Detroit
Tigers for year at a reported salary
of $4,000.
Baseball will have no more interest
ing feature next year that CObbS ex-
pertinent to make a winner out of club
that Dame Rumor has accused him of
wreckng.
In the army they say: "On1y he can
command who has learned we'll to
obey"
The "PeaCh' has never been charged
with scrupulous observance of club
rules.
Can he exact obedience from the very
same players who have seen him laugh
at regulations?
Frank Navin, owner of the team, evil
IDENTIFY believes he can, because he is
giving him a salary equal to that of
Ban Johnson, president of the league,
and greater than the pay check of any
player in history.
Furthermore Navin offered him a
long time contract, but Cobb refused it.
Let me try it for one year and if I
succeed, then we can talk business
again" he said.
Many smart baseball men predict
great success for Cobb in his new job,
pointing to the general opinion that
he has been managing the club for sew
eral seasons. Hughey Jennings being
sort of a fgurehead in the clubhouse.
1t was Cobbs disregard of training
and club rules, his assumption of mana
gerial jurisdiction and his independence
among the players that created the dis
sension which kept the club down and
caused Jennings to give UP his job.

Willard Starts His
Strenuous Training
For Dempsey Bout

Jess Willard, former heavyweight
champion, expects to train intensive1y
for three months in preparation for his
bout to regain the title from Jack Demp-
sey i'll New York, March II, according
to statement made by Ray Archer his
manager. Archer went to Kansas City
from Lawrence, Kan, the home of the
former champion, to confer with Hugh
Walker, a heavyweight, concerning the
employment of Walker as one of Will
lard's sparring partners. Walker will
meet Captain Bob Roper, heavyweight
in bout at Kansas City December 80
According to Archer, Willard already
has begun to train, although his work
is somewhat handicapped because his
home is quarantined on account of i'll
ness in his family. Archer said Willard
expects to have several sparring part
ners and that he would make every eff
fort to obtain well-known fighters.
Discussing the coming bout with
Dempsey, Archer said: ''Willard is not
thinking about the money. He wants to
prove to the public that he was not him
self at Toledo"

Doc. Roller s Old
Wrestling RiUal
Is Man of Means

Springfield, Mass, Dec. 23.-Strange
twists of fortune make millonaires of
some and paupers of others, but one
of the oldest changes of a benign
fate is that which has turned lila Mora
Vincent from middling fair wrestler
to Russian millionaire.
When Raymond Cazeau came here
the other night to Wrestle Joe NAL
cewicz he brought along an interest
ing yarn that had to do with the doings
of the big Cuban negro, who once
wrcstled Doc Roller at the old Graves
Hall arena. Vincent, combination of
East Indian Hindu and Cuban negro,
now wears silk hats and is considered
a man of parts i'll Russia.
Vincent was born in Cuba. His faith
er was a Hindu and his mother Cuban
negro. His family moved to Pirmasenz,
Germany, and there he spent his boy
hood days. AS he was big and strong,
he became interested in wrestling and
later came to the United States, where
he met with fair success.
Perhaps the oldest turn of his
strange career came when he married
a white woman, the sister of Constans
LeMarin, the big French grappler. He
continued in the game as an active
wrestler for number of years and
then conceived the idea of taking a
troupe of women Wrestlers to Russia.
The success his venture had was
astounding. No venture of the kind
ever succeeded half so well as Vim
cents and the money began pouring in
from the start

Dundee Ready For
Another Whack At
Leonard's Title

Johnny Dundee and Benny Leonard
are on the verge of engaging in a IS
round bout in New York for the light
weight championship of the world, and
the only forma1ity now necessary is for
the promoter to make a sound like a
reasonable purse, at which the boys
will take off their coats, adjust the
gloves and get to work.
This much is gathered from a letter
from Dundee, who is getting to be al
most as skillfu1 with typewriter as he
is with the gloves. Johnny processes
to be all 'het up" over statement re-
Gently issued by Billy Gibson, manager
of Leonard, in which the lightweight
champions manager declared that Dun
dee was afraid to meet Benny, and had
therefore, demanded a guarantee of
$4,000 for his end
This is "a positive 1ie," according to
Dundee, who declares he is perfectly
willing to box the champion for per-
centage of the gate at the recognized
lightweight limit of 135 pounds at 2
o'clock. The little Scotch-Wop stands
ready to post a forfeit of from $4,000
to $4,000 to bind the match, and Mr..
Benny, it's your move.
