Does Utility Lob
 Shorten Players s
 Career Ha Game?
By JAMES J. CORRETT

Does utility work shorten a ball piay- CTS career?
 George Whitted of the Pirates insists that such is the case. He advances this as one of the reasons for demanding a big boost in pay from Barney Dreyfus, his boss. He points out that player who shifts from one position to another suf- fers nervous wear and tear which the regular player does not know. In view to play ball as long as he would if planted in one place, and therefore he wants big money while he is in harness.
 RECORDS DIFFER
 Baseball records do not bear out Whit ted to any great extent. It is a known fact that most of the wonder players developed in the past 15 or 20 years, played at different positions throughout the period of their big league life. Only a rare few of the truly greats eventually found stardom.
 It may be recalled that Larry Lajoie was first a catcher, then a first base man, disported briefly in the outfield and finally found anchorage at second base. Hans Wagner was an outfelder, then was tried out at first base, took & brief whirl at second. played for years at skort ard wound up his career at first base.
 Tommy Lynch played almost every po- sition on the diamond before he com pleted his career. Artie Holman, per- haps the greatest utility player of them all played every position except the battery and survived many years of dia- mond warfare. Walsh, the once-time Phillie, played every position on the dia- mond, including mound and backstop duty. Then there was Robbie Wallace, who was big leaguer for 25 years. Bob- bic started out as pitcher; played third base, shifted over to shortstop and be- came one of the greatest shortfelders

Ratification
 or Agreement Is IsExpected

New York, December 16. = Ratification of the new agree ment with the National league is the most important matter to come before the annual m e e ting of the American league here tomorrow, so far as the club owners now in this city know.
 April 1s probably will be decided upon as the opening date for the 1921 season, that being the date fixed by the National league.
 Appointments of managers for the Detroit and St. Louis clubs are among the matters likely to be settled during the meeting. Little or no trouble is expected to arise in the negotiations between President Navin of Detroit and Ty Cobb relative to the Iatter's ap- pointment as the Tigers manager
 As to the St. Louis manager it was said today that no one had been selected for the place, but Lee Fohl, formerly manager of the Cleveland club, was mentioned in connection with the posi- ton.

First Term Exar,as 1 Halt Cage Work Of Vandy Quintet

Nashville Tenn, December 16.-(Spe- ciaL) )-Basketbal at Vanderbilt has re- ceiy ed a temporary setback as the result of the halt in all athletic activities at the university until the conclusion of first-term examinations, which start next Saturday and end in the following Wednes- day.
