hits Penn the hardest, since both were
expected to play on next falls eleven.
Miller has been dropped from the
rolls of the university, and his with
drawal amounts to = technical sus-
pension. He will not be permitted to
return, according to the Wharton
School authorities.
Penn's brilliant end has not attended
classes since the Thanksgiving Day
game, and he neglected to secure a
leave Of absence when he left, it is
said. AS a consequence his absences
from classes accumulated to point
where the instructors dropped him
from the rolls.
Brunner had high average in his
studies at the Wharton School. He
attended classes regularly up to the
Christmas holidays, and then left for
his home in Easton.' Friends received
word during the holidays that Erunner
had obtained position with the
Bethlehem Steel Compal, at South
Bethlehem, and that he did not intend
to return.
At the Wharton School to-day it was
said Drummer also had failed to secure
leave of absence and tlat lniess
he does so his cuts will accumulate
so as to result in his expulsion. In
this event Brunner will not be able
to return to Penn at any time. Under
the rules of the university student
cannot resign, but can secure IN in
definite leave Of absence
Brunner said he was dissatisfied last
season. He alleged unfair treatment
and an undeserved "panning" for his
failure to catch a punt in the Penn
State game which resulted in a State
victory.
According to members of the foot
ball team still in college, Drummer
was the logical choice for captain of
the team in 1921, as he had two years
of varsity football left. He is twenty
years old and a graduate of Caston
High School.

NEW HAVEN, Jan. 12.-Yale's

middle or the distant West, but hopes.

for match.

the one strikingly weak feature Of the
Californian's game last season.
or Richard Norris Williams I'd, of
Boston, former national champion and
conqueror of Mclaughlin in 1914 and
Johnston in 1916, Brookes says:
II consider Williams as good as any
player living. He plays perfect strokes
on both fore and back hand. He was
still, l consider, suffering from the
effects Of the war I think in q little
while he will get back into his best
form and will then, probably next year,
be hard to stop"
1t is always pleasing to have your

thorty. and / cannot help fguratively

read Brookes's words. for l have al

machine" and would doubtless be a
safer man to place your trust in day
in and day out during a playing sea
son, but when Williams has all his
marvellous strokes working under full
control have never seen his equal

Brookes passes comment on various
others of the First ten," including
William I. Tilden I'd, of Philadelphia:

and Vincent Richards. and 1T is all in

I'm To Major Leagues

Apparently the minor leagues-or at
leas. the more powerful circuits of
the ncinors--are not so anxious to re-
establish working agreement with
the majors as ore was led to suppose
from the reports Of IT, National AS
sociation's annual meeting. John H.
Farrell. secretary Of the National AS
sociation and chairman of the minor
leagues committee appointed to con-
fer with the majors, has written the
two big leagues to submit whatever
proposition they may entertain.
1t was always supposed that the
minor and not the major leagues were
the suppliants in the case. The ma
tional agreement was abrogated at the
solicitation of the powerful minors.
It's abroeation did not seriously af-
Leagues. which enjoyed record year
of prosperity in 1919 despite shortened
schedules. It is not necessary to the
welfare of the big leagues to re-
establish draft privileges or the plac-
ing of talent in minor fields under
optional agreement. The small minor
leagues, it was supposed, were the
ones most desirous of return to old
working conditions.
Whether or not there is disposi-
tion among the big minors to betray
the wishes Of the lesser circuits re-
mains to be disclosed at the big base
ball conference in Chicago next month.
At the time of the joint meeting of the
two big leagues the committees from
the minor leagues will be heard. The
major leagues feel, as the disinter-
ested party, that whatever petitions
are forthcoming should be made by
minor league baseball.
The club ownerh of the National and
American leagues had hoped, in the
reorganization of the National Com
mission, to attain a national agree
ment more advantageous to all inter-
ests than the one abrogated year ago

Army Offers
Aid to Improve
Chase Racing
Radical Program Adopted
for Cross-Country Sport
by Hunts Association

A radical program, which has for
it's object the improvement of cross
country horse racing in America, was
adopted by the National Steeplechase
and. Hunts Association at a meeting
at the Hotel Commodore, called at the
suggestion of Harry S. Page, last night.
More than fifty sportsmen from all
parts of the country were in st
tendance.
Henry Higginson. chairman of the
meeting, will appoint a committee of
Hunts Association, an army officer and
delegate embody the
resolutions and suggestions adopted
IN concrete form in the nature of new
rules and regulations.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
the racing associations should pay
more courtesy to steeplechasing and
take steps Immediately to place it on
sucn s nigh plane as prevails in
demand free dates from the racing
associations
Colonel c. T. George, Colonel Koch,
Major Guy V. Henry and Major Leon
ard were present as representatives
from the United States Army General
Headquarters, Washington. D. C. Major
Henry spoke at great length, pointing
out that army officers had been unable
to do much for the game, as army reg
ulations prevented shipping of horses
and the various posts were so scat
tered.
Joseph E. Davis was of the opinion
that the racing associations should
make the prize money for timber-top-
ning events big enough to stimulate
the development of jumpers of high
class. Harry Page pointed out that
more gentlemen riders were needed.
There were but twenty-five certificates
issued last year, whereas in one race in
England last year thirty-fve horses
faced the starter. He thought dis
tances, height of fences and weights
should be so adjusted as to put the
proper premium on class. The lack of
riders was due largely to the prevail
ing low scale of weights. in his opinion.
E. M. Weld declared the low fences
IN this country disgrace to the name
of the sport.

ing were r. Penn Smith, Bernard Fen

Forem0stStudent of Game
Sees Hope for Come
Back by Mclaughlin
BY Fred Hawthorne

When a master of the game like
Norman Brookes gives US his per-
sonal views as to the relative playing
skill of the leading American lawn
tennis players, we are bound to pay
close attention, and, although some of
his deductions may differ from the
conclusions we had arrived at, we
should always remember that the great
Victorian is probably the most astute
student of tennis that ever lived.
In the statement from the Australian
Davis Cup team captain, which |
printed in this column last Sunday,
Brookes commented upon the style of
play Of several of our "frst ten" men,
and ] think that a majority Of people
in this country who have made a close
study Of the men mentioned will agree
with him.
Speaking Of William M. Johnston,
the national champion, Brookes said:
Johnston is very much like w. A.
Larned in all his strokes and methods.
He is sound in every part of the game
and has a beautiful forehand drive.
He is apla. ing as we'll as he was before
the war. 1t doesn't seem to have left
any effect on him.
Certainly Johnston's style is more
like Larned's than that Of any other
player who has followed the "Nestor
Of the American courts" Every shot is
made in perfect form, the footwork is
flawless and his tactics on the court
very similar. But | believe that
Johnston's strokes carry greater
pace" than Larned's ever did, particu-
larly his forehand drive and his over
hand volleying from inside the service
court lines.
Criticize Backhand Strokes
Some critics find fault with the way
the present national champion execute 8
his backhand strokes. Johnston uses
the same side OF his racquet for both
fore and back hand, hence he does not
use the changing grip, favored by most
OF the leading players of the day. But
! have yet to find any man who will
make the fiat assertion that the little
Californian has a weak backhand.
Brookes is one of those who believe
that Maurice Mclaughlin has not vet
passed out OF the picture completely,
He has seen the immortal "Maury" in
many matches, both In the days when
the Comet" was inyincible on tho
courts, as in the Davis Cup matches of
1914 and last summon, when "Red Mac"
was away below his best form. And
this liz what the Australian has to saw
about the former champion:
"McLoughIin may come right back
into his best game. For the time being
he has lost control III his service, but

10 Douglass fall from grace was at
tributed one reason why McGraw's
top-heavy favorite entrant Of 1919 lost
the ultimate decision to Cincinnati.
Douglas was secured from the Chicago
Cubs to bolster up a pitching staff
that was none too strong at the time.
1t was almost mid-season when Doug
las came to the Giants and he left the
team before he had time to get ac-
quainted. With Chicago "Shufflin'
Phil" had been on his good behavior,
especially in 1918, when he turned in
many victory toward the champion
ship for Mitchell's Cubs.
Until he joined the banner of
Mitchell, Douglas had always given a
great deal of trouble 20 the various
managers under whom he served. He
paid little attention to training rules.
lie would have periodic sessions of
grace. at which times he always proved
one OF the most effective right handed
pitchers of his company. But he did
not appear able to stand prosperity.
As diplomatic a manager as Wilbert
Robinson, of the Dodgers, had to give
him up in despair.
Pitched Well for Cubs
For more than season Fred
Mitchell, of the Cubs, kept Douglass
feet on the straight and narrow path
and during that time Phil proved a
wonderful asset. But last season, when
fortune turned against the champion
Cubs, Douglas became despondent He
was transferred to the Giants as a re-
suit.
When he took the "runout powder"
on the Giants McGraw immediately
suspended Douglas and appeared to
forget him. McGraw went religiously
about the task of building up his shat
Tered pitching staff from other an
gles. The purchase of Arthur Nehf,
mated price Of 1000, Followed IS ed soon. sss1
Little had been heard from Douglas
from the time he disappeared as
Giant until the news of his reinstate-
ment was announced. Said announce
ment, however, seem. significant. 1t
would appear that influences have been
at work in his behalf, as Douglas was
whitewashed without fine, though
warned that if he again leaves his club
without the management's consent he
will be subjected 70 heavy tax.
Douglas's petition for pardon DON could onot not
be learned yesterday. Messrs Stone
ham anu McGraw are still in Cuba,
while Joe O'Brien, the club secretary,
had not returned from. Milwaukee,
where it was reported yesterday he
had purchased an interest in the Mil
wauhee club of the American Associa-
ton.
1t is to be presumed, however, that
McGraw has decided to give Douglas
another chance. Provided "Shutf1in'
Phil" makes the most of this grace the
Giants will start the 1920 campaign
with the mos. formidable pitching ar
ray of its histcry-one Of the very
best twirling departments ever assem-
bled under one banner. Art Nehf and
Rube Benton are two of the very best
southpaws in the league; Jess Barnes,
Fred Toney and Phil Douglas are three
sterling veteran right-handers, with
Winters and half dozen cub tossers
still to be heard from.
