ALL SPORTS HAVE REGANED PRE-WAR STATUS DURING 1919

When Johnson refused to got out from under fury was added to the rJInlpus-
 The fight took an q more serious as peet at the recent mee ing of 3ne Am erican League in Manhattan when Johnson was charged with employing steam-roller methods to gain the up per hand in tho factional war. He bolted the meeting and then the Yam kee owners. with the backing of Own CTS Frazee and Comisky of the Ros- ton and Chicago clubs. respectively instituted new court proceedings, the purpose ofsousting Johnson as presi- dent of the league, despite the fact that Ban averred he had a twenty year contract as executive.
 What was undoubtedly the biggest feature of the season was the fact that the National League got back its prestige as the predominant factor in the majors for the first time in sew eral years by, the Cincinnati Reds win ming the World Series. The nine-gam series proved so successful in the minds of tEe magnates that it will be given another trial next season.
 The race for the pennant in both leagues was much keener than in pre- vious seasons because of the fact that the players and the first three clubs got cut of the series money. It was
 
 impossible to pick the winners until about two weeks before the final games were played. In the Nationa league the Cincinnati Reds were pressed hard by the Giants and the | Chicago cubs In the American League the White Sox had to extend l themselves to point of exhaustion to overcome the opposition of the Cleveland Indians. New York Yankees and Detroit Tioars
 The premier honors in batting went to Eddie Roush in the National League and Ty Cobb retained his 1 laurels in the American League. which were wrested from him but once since ] be became a regular of the Detroit | Tigers. The lone individual who was able to accomplish this was Iris Speaker, who pulled, the trick in 1916 Roush maintained hitting streak throughout the season that won many games for his team. Roger Hornsby of the St, Louis Cardinals gave him a stiff fight for the honors. Cobb had things pretty much his own way ir the American League.

MAJOR BASEBALL GAINS
 ITS PRE-WAR STATUS

Major League baseball regained it's pre-war status during the past season and it proved profitable from a finan- cia1 standpoint None of the clubs in either the National or American League suffered a deficit The sea- son had not progressed very far when the officials of both organizations req lized the mistake they had made in curtailing their schedules from 154 to 40 games. This action was taken as a precautionary measure. due to the unsettled conditions. With the re- turn of many players who had rallied to the support of the colors, the game began to boom, and it was then that they lamented their schedule in knif- ing the schedule.
 Peace and prosperity reigned in the National League. something that can not be said for the American League. Tis true the Ban Johnson circuit shared with the Heydlerites in the matter of prosperity, but all was not serent in the younger organization Conditions moved along smoothly for the American league until toward the end of the season. when Carl Mays quit the Boston Red Sox and announc- ed that he would rather retire than re- turn to the club
 Owner Frazee of the Red Sox aroused the wrath of Ran Johnson when he sold Mays to the Yankee. and the head of the league suspended the pitcher indefinitely The amount paid for Mays was estimated at $75 900. The Yankee management got out an injunction restraining Johnson and the club owners who stood by him. Tn, injunction was eventually made per manent by Justice Wagner in the Manhattan Supreme Court. and this gaZ-n- rise to new court litigation in the matter. Johnson was accused by thG owners of the Yankees of being finan. ! cially interested in the Cleveland Club

 Thai. here and there occurred the un- expected, the tipping of big team by a smaller one, the outpointing of a team by another that had done less offensive work, only served to height en the intense interest shown in the great outdoor sport of the fall months.
 Quick Jump From War.
 Return fror, war and war thoughts to gridiron preparations was hasty for some of the teams and probably explains to a degree why they were not more successful. Another year will see the e1evens more exclusively engaged in football preliminaries and better prepared for, the resumption of play, All teams. whether satisfied with their records or not, must have closed the football year with even more spirit and optimism. They have experienced as we'll. as witnessed a most remarkable comeback of interest in sport.
 The gc.eral quality of football the past season was good. though the Standard of play in the accepted bis games was below expectations If this or that college was not represented by A teanr -lore in keeping with it's owr eh athletic standard. 1t must be ad; 1itted that there. were more teams playing good football" than ever be- fore. This may he explained in an other way by saying that smaller col, Ieges took a larger share of gridiror honors than usual. By smaller, i, meant those whose students are no SO numerous as others and also school! large in student body, but not in foot ball prominence and football history

A perusal of the list of the twelve teams with the assumedly best records for the year will explain matters bet ter.
 Most interesting is that Harvard, Yale and Princeton, schools that are generally credited with being the big three of the gridiron. occupy but hum ble places among that arbitrary and faulty ranking list.
 Upsets Were Numerous.
 Upsets were numerous from one end of the season to the other, and these played their part in attracting attention that the game might have been favored with to a lesser degree. There came about events wholly un- looked for. Princeton. for instance, caused a sensation by going d7wn before West Virginia, 25 to 0, and Bos- ton college started the queer happen tngs by defeating Yale, but in the schedule of almost every college pro- duced more thrill by playing Harvard to a 10 to 10 tie, and by defeating Vale 1S.6. In the case of Yale something transpired for the first time in 21 years the surrender to both Harvard and Princeton in tho sane fall. This was a poor year for Yale.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL HAD
 MOST REMARKABLE SEASON.

The 1919 college football season was one of the most remarkable known in the history of American outdoor sports. Probably no autumn has de- veloped such sweeping interest in the student pastime, and certainly few autumns have seen that interest sus- tained by so many queer turns or upsets in the games played.
 Crowds watching the contests of any of the colleges most prominently identified with the gridiron sport were larger than ever, and the sum total of all spectators watching all contests was probably larger than ever for one season of the varsity game.

In addition to this it must be remembered that the figures 1919 include but very small sums for interior Europe which had before the war a trade of about $S,000 000000 suggesting that the commercial world exclusive of Germany, Russia and the Anstro- Hungarian and Turkish area has probably doubled the stated value of it's international trade when com pared with 1913.

 Surely no one looked for Williams to swamp Amherst 30 to 0. nor was the Amherst g to I victory over Wes 1eyan's great minor team anything but surprise The unusual happened frequently. Lehigh fell before Lafay- cite for the first time in five years, and Pittsburgh bowed to Penn State for the first time in seven years.
 In the face of so many strange twists one displayes probably more audacity than wisdom in attemuting to rate the teams on their showings dur ing the season.

Paris, March 2.-The strike on

federation Immediately ordered the
resumption Of work.
The strike began last week on

road and was followed Saturday by
an order for a strike on all the
railways of France, but reports
from various quarters have told of
the failure Of the men to walk out.
The mobilization for military
duty Of the railroad men, adopted
by the government early yesterday
as measure to combat the strike,
resulted, the government announc-
ed, in response Of so per cent Of the
men called upon.

following points:
The right for men to organise
will be respected throughout the
railroad systems of France. The
railroad men accept arbitration on

London, March 2.--General Den
ekine's army has been trapped in
the kuban peninsula southeast of
the Sea of Azoy, it is claimed in a
Russian soviet official statement
dated Sunday and received today
from Moscow.
A bolshevik communique yester-
day announced the capture OF
Stavropol, in the northern Canca-
sus, the soviet forces defeating
Denekine's troops and annihilating
the first Kuban corps. The state
ment at hand today shows boil
shevik advance of some ninety
miles to the northwest and an
nounces the capture of Tikhoryet-
skaya, "A railroad junction point
so miles northeast OF Yekaterin-
odar.
The taking of this junction prob
ably is the basis of the claim that
Denekine's forces are trapped, as
it cuts their line of communica-
, ton southeastward into the Cau-
casus and leaves open only the
route through Yekaterinodar to the
Black sea at Novorossisk.
