O'DOWD IS VICTOR
 OVER JEFF SMITH

Mike O'Dowd, the fighting Irish man of St. Paul, who formerly held the worlds middleweight champion ship title, gained the referees de n cision over Jeff Smith, Bayonne mld dleweight, last night in their 15-round ad bout before a crowd of about lo.ooo in Madison Square Garden: .,onn The at lit'ie e staadw nace from start to finish of the bout, clearly outpointed his rival in a majority of the rounds.
 After the 18th round, Announcer Joe Humphries said that the judges, William Muldoon and Charles Thor lev. had disagreed. The crowd, s1- lentlv awaiting the decision, broke loose in an outburst of disapproval wIlic hechoed through the ne1ghbor- hood. It was almost a minute before quiet could be restored and then Humphries clarioned that the referee Johnny Hakop, of Brooklyn. had rem | dered his decision in favor of O'Dowd. 1 A spontaneous outburst of approval
 which threatened to lift the roof of1
 the building, greeted this announce | ment.

Reorganized Polo Club Performs Like Champs
Cameron and Pence Add Strength On the Defense, While Ouigley Williams and Harold Work Finely On the
 Offe1se- Worcester Outcassed Last Night

Bridgeport's reorganized roller polo team played rings around Worcester last night at the Casino even though George Hart and Allie Lovegreen, both former players, did play with the visitors. They could not with stand the assaults of Williams, Quiz ley and Harold who kept the ball in time. These men drove the ball iE wonderful form and soon rolled up a score of six goals before Worcester was able to get the ball into the net. The final score of to 5 shows bat tie which did not really develop until toward the end of the second period.
 The addition of Cameron and Pence gives the Bridgeport team champion ship form and it is safe to predict thoners will be up there fighting it out with the leaders. Cameron is the steady, skil1ful player who is ready for all kinds of attacks, while Pence and preventing it from entering the goal. Before coming to Bridgeport he was regarded as the best goal tender in the league and he will prob ably not lose any of his ability while working for Manager Neville in this city.
 All the points in the game last night were scored by Quigley and Will both in getting the ball up the floor. Quigley made them on both right and left hand shots, showing that he is a dangerous rush to have the ball when there is an opening to make goal. Williams, like in all former games, displayed wonderful speed and once he got going so fast he couldn't stop and fell into the net just over the guard on the floor. He had to be lifted out and his skates untang1ed from the netting.
 The next home game will be on Saturday night when the Lowell team will be the attraction. George Hart played a fi| game for Worcester last night, but when it came near the goal he had difficulty in getting the ball away from Jim Cameron and passing it into the cage behind Pence.

 To Minor Leaguers
Leader In Organization of New League Wants to Off
 set Ban Johnson's Views

Kansas City, Mo. Nov. 1o-August Hermann, owner of the Cincinnati Nationals, and a leader in the organ ization of the new 12 club league, was expected ito address the convention of minor 1eaguers~ here today in an appeal for endorsement of the Las ker plan for baseball reorganization.
 MT. Hermann will attempt to off set the favoab1e impression created among the minor league leaders yes terday by Ban Johnson, president of the American League, and George w. Miller, the American League attorney, who urged the minors to appoint a committee of three ito meet with a similar committee from the major leagues in an attempt to avert a baseball war. President Johnson in opposing the Lasker plan told the minor leaguers that the management. of baseball should remain in the hands of men who have devoted their lives to the sport, instead of being turned over to men outside the game. g.
 What action the minor leagues will take in the major league dispute remains prob1ernitica1' but it is ex- pected they will consider both plans in executive session and then refuse to take sides.

New York Ball Clubs
 To Be We'll Managed
With McGraw and Jennings at the Helm of the Giants
 While Higgins and Barrow Will Look After the Details of the Yankees During 1921
(By JACK yEOCK.)

New York, Nov. 1O.-The Giants rAnd Yankees are going to be well managed next season. At least, they fought to be.
 With two veteran major league pi- lots at the head of each team the New York Nationals and their rival Amer ican League "bunkies'' at the Polo Grounds are setting precedent in a managerial way, for though many major league clubs have coaches who either have been managers or are ex- mark the first time in baseball his tory that so many high-salaried field generals have been signed by two clubs.
 manager of the Giants, will have the veteran Hugh Jennings as his first lieutenant. McGraw has several times been on the verge of retiring from the active management of the team, ac- oording to the wags, but once a pen nant race gets hot it would be just as to keep McGraw "out of there'' as 1t would be to keep a jazz band
 Are Old Pals.
 McGraw and Jennings are old team mates They played together on the old Baltimore Orioles and were They have been friends ever since. and it is almost a foregone. conclusion that they will "get along" There is an old saying-the one about the cooks and the broth-but the Giants should be well managed. regardless.
 The Tanks, with Miller Huggins and Ed Barrow to handle the reins. were the first to sign two "managers'' for 1921. Barrow was signed as bus mess manager of the team the same day that Huggins autographed his 1921 contract, and though Barrow's duties are supposed to be largely con- fined to the business end of the club it is almost certain that he will lend Huggins his assistance in handling the team on the field, and especially the players.
 Barrow Big Asset
 Huggins, because of ill-health, has often found himself unequal of curb ing his players. With Barrow at his elbow he will find the task mucf easier, for Barrow is a baseball mar of the driving calibre. as any player who has been under his management will testify.
 Barrow's success with the Red So1 has proven his qualities as a man, lager. Huggins, who knows baseball inside out and Barrow, always ready for any emergency, should be able tc N drive the Tanks at break-neck speed
 The value of an assistant manager r or a coach is attested to by the fac that seven American League and fiv' National League clubs have adopted the system of carrying them. Tn, ~ Yankees have Charley O'Leary in ad dition to Barrow. The Browns hay, Lee Fohl; the Indians, McAllister; tn, Red Sox, Eddie Holly: the Athletics Danny Murphy; the Senators, Georg Mcbride, and the Tigers, Jack Coombs In the National League the Giant z have Hughie Jennings; the Braves Oscar Dugey; the Cubs, >Cozy Dolan the Cardinals. Joe Sugdan and Car Lundgren; and the Pirates, Bill Nc | Kechnie. Not all of these men hay come to the end of their careers a players, and now and then break int a game. Others are men who hay grown gray and wrinkled in the gam which they began to play before mos -f of the present crop of players wer born.

 Title Boat Race
Annual Event to Commem- crate Victory of Kelly
 In Olympics

Philadelphia, Nov. 10-Local oars men have taken the initiative to hold a. worlds scul1ing title race yearly to commemorate the recent victory of John B. Kelly of the Vesper Boat club in single souls at the Olympics.
 A petition has been addressed by the Schuylkill navy, an organization of local rowing clubs to those inter- ested in amateur rowing as follows:
 '"The recent victory of John B. Kelly, we believe, is the only victory ever recorded that may truly be con sidered as representing the world s cha ampionship in amateur single sculls.
 Heretofore, the winning of the diamond souls at the Henley has car ried with it the nearest approach to such a title, but due to the fact that any sculler, no matter how valid his personal qualifications, may have his entry refused by the Henley stewards this event may well be considered as a closed, local or at least an invita- ton event.
 "In his recent victories John B. Kelly defeated not only the recent winner of the diamond souls, but the pick of all the amayeur single Scull- CTS from all nations of the world. Now, therefore, that this victory | may be commemorated for all time ! that opportunity may not henceforth | be lacking for clean amateur scullers from all parts of the world to com pete for this noble title, it is pro- | posed to present a gold cup to be | known as the Philadelphia Challenge Cup'' for the Worlds Championship | Amateur Single Souls, this cup te 1 pass from one champion to the next | under terms to be setf orth in a deeo | of gift to be drawn up by the com mittee appointed by the commodore | of the Schuylkl1 Navy and executed by that committee, representing the l individual subscribers, a list of whom is to be attached to the deed of gift | The cup to be the property of the | Schuylkill Navy but to be held by the | champion until by defeat, default ol | loss of amateur standing it passes tt | the next champion, or to the Schuyl kill Navy pending the appearance O. a new champion.

Justice Must Not lie Shamed.

The escape of G.. C. Dergdou from
military custody" while he was sup
posed to be serving a five years term
for draft evasion on Governors Is
land constitutes another nauseous
chapter in a story of mockery of JUS
tice that should have been closed
long ago. The most notorious draft
evader in the Nation, young Berg
| doll, with or without the conniYance
of other members of his family. de-
| fed the law for months, while the
CIVIL and military authorities of the
entire Nation were seeking him. His
wealth, the prominence of his family
and the wide publicity given his case
demanded exemplary punishment and
unusual precautions to see that he
should not aviod his sentence.
The statement that Bergdoll was
on "furlough" from Governors Is
land when he escaped his guard is
reposterous. 1t presupposes
child-like credulity in the military
authorities almost beyond compre-
hen3ion. That any leeway should
have been given a creature so totally
devoid of honor as Bergdoll has
shown himself to be is ridiculous.
That any chance should have been
given him to escape is primea facie
evidence of criminal negligence.
The case calls for no explanation.
1t demands action. Nothing but the
recaptuIe of Dergdoll, with the i'm
position of additional punishment up
on him and stern penalty upon
those who cOnnived at or permitted
his escape, will satisfy justice.
Fortunately, such outrageous
mockery of law is the exception, and
not the rule. Fortunately, too, pub
lie opinion is strong enough to take
such occasional offenders by the neck
