RAN JOHNSON TO SUE
 THREE RECALCITRANTS

Ban Johnson has engaged spec1al legal counsel, and the lawyers are gong over the American league constitution for the purpose of finding out It the field for injunctions and damages IS fertile.
 Johnson partisans assert he. has a stranplehold on the three ."recalcitrant clubs. The resolution signed last week calls for forfeiture of all players and territory. Clubs cannot withdraw with out consent of three-fourths of the membership. Johnson says he has call all ed Frazee's attention to gambling on the Boston grounds several times, but that no action was taken by Frazee.
 Johnson has told his friends that Con1iskey's franchise could have been forfeited long ago under the clause:
 Offering, agreeing, consp1r1ng or at- tempting to lose any game of ball, or failure immediately to expel any player who shall be proved guilty of offering, agreeing, conspiring oi attempting to lose any game of ball or of being in- terested in any pool or wager thereon
 It is true that. Comeskey suspended eipf1t members of his team as soon as a confession was made by Eddie Cicotte that he, with seven others, consp1red to lose the worlds series to the Cincinnati Reds in 1919, but Johnson holds that Coniskey had an intimation of 1t after the first game was played with Clncln- nati. and felt almost certain about 1t De fore the third game was played 1n Chi caoo. Hevdler~ of the National league said he was told by Comiskey that the series was not being played honestly.

BRAZILL GETS NEW
 MINOR LEAGUE RECORD

Frank Brazill, hitter extraordinary, IS credited with batting record i'll the minor leagues that very few can touch

4BIC SIX" FIGHTING HARD

The game fight which Christy Mathewson, coach of the Giants and famous sfadeaway" pitcher, has been making against the ravages of the White Plague" has apparently been crowned with victory, for Big Six, " who has been at Saranac Lake for sev- era1 months, is now showing rapid inn provement.
 He has not yet regained his o1d-time health, but his physicians declare he will eventually, and Matty himself asserts that before the snow flies he will be as well as ever he was He is looking much more robust than he did short time ago, when fear was ex- pressed for his recovery.
 Matty caught a cold while down South last spring on the Giants train ing trip. He neglected it, and after the opening of the National league race he was suddenly stricken with dread tuber- culosis. He immediately went to Sara nae Lake and underwent treatment. It was a bitter fight at first, but it is assured now that Matty will recover before very long.

SPORT SULLIVAN HAD
 DOPE ON WORLD SERIES

In a recent statement, Harry Long, employed in a Board of Trade com mission firm, says he handled $29,OOO of J. J. (Sport) Sullivan's money dur ing the crooked Cincinnati Reds-White Sox series, last year.
 It is said Sullivan wagered more than that i'll other places i'll Chicago. He is supposed to have won at least $60,O00 from Chicago fans.
 "I didn't know this man Sullivan five minutes before he placed $10,000 in cash in my hands to bet for him. said Long. "He came into the place where I was employed and wanted the firm to handle his money and get it covered. The firm refused to have anything to do with it. I was introduced to him and he asked me to help h1rn.
 "I went to men on the board and had 1t covered i'll short time, for there were plenty of fellows there willing to back the White Sox. Sullivan asked me to demand to 5. I couldn't get il up at such odds and then he said to go ahead and bet even.
 When I reported to him it was up I said I thought I could get couple more thousand covered and perhaps more. He asked me to wait till he called up Pittsburgh He called some one in Pittsburgh, then came back and told me to go ahead and get all l could and it would be covered. He also call ed Boston, New York and Cincinnati on the long-distance during our deal -ings. That was on the first and second games. He was afraid of Kerr and only bet $70O on the Reds"

SAID BOBBY GILKES
 TO GARTLAND RICE

During the now departed world series we were talking one night in Cleveland with Bob Gilkes, the Yankee scout, who was member of the Cleve- land club just g years ago.
 If you think this baseball scandal hits many of the fans hard, remarked Bob, how do you think it affects old ballplayers who have given their life to the game?
 CT have been in baseball for well over 30 years as player, manager and scout and I can hold up my right hand to heaven and swear that in all that time I never saw ball game thrown until this Chicago bunch came along In all that time I was never approached by a gambler or by any one else to turn a crooked trick Just because there are a few crooks 1t is hardly fair to forget the honesty of the sbig majority. Base ball, on the average, has still been the c1eanest of all games played Grant land Rice in New York World.

CONNIE MACK SAYS
 LET'S CLEAN HOUSE

Connie Mack of the Philadelphia American league club said recently that he was not clear as to what the meet ing of baseball men in Chicago was driving at. The five clubs not repre- sented at the meeting constitute ma- jority of the American league, he said. We are the American League" he added, land when the time comes the American league will meet at the call of its president and no doubt will take action that will help baseball-that will help raise it's standard and prevent scandals in the future.
 3I am not sure" Mr.-Mack, said, ''that some of the National league clubs rep resented at the meeting do not need housekeeping. No one in or out of baseball can point finger at the five American league clubs that were not represented. They are all clean; not one of them has ever caused any trou- b1e'
 And Connie said all that? Well, well!
 Let's csc, isn't MT. McGi11icuddy the gentleman who directs the destines of a baseball club in Philadelphia? And to think what he is getting away with in S1owtowni
 Why not start house-cleaning at home, Connie?

HAS RIGHT DOPE ON
 FOOTBALL SITUATION

There is no round robin of games in football. Everything is supposed to be square. And the big teams don't meet each other in the length of the season, for there Is no National Commish to arrange the schedule. That is a crack ing disadvantage, but 1t has it's bright side too. No National Commish means football teams save 10 per cent of their gate receipts. And 10 per cent. of the gate receipts buys a lot of amateur players.
 While the exporters were busy on the worlds series the, football dope has behaved like guy with a mortgaged home playing against the Cinci Reds. That means strictly according to form. Harvard and Yale and Princeton have whaled all their aggressive opponents from the timber districts So 1t is a great satisfaction for the experteer to start his football guessing with nothing at all to explain. That saves lot of good a1ibis for football games later on
 However, let us hope there will be upsets pretty soon. If the games go the way the experts call 'em, the short enders will have tough season indeed And sometimes even short-end has the wife and kiddies to think of, and a mortgage on the home."-New York World.

Sports of All Kinds
 in Brief
CENTER COLLEGE
 LOSES TO CRIMSON

+ Harvard's gridiron machine got into
 action with vim in the closing period,
 last Saturday, and the famous Kentucky
 team was gradually ground to defeat,
 after bitter fight lasting through the
 entire game. The Praying Colonels"
 had the famous Houghton machine
 batfied through the first half and be-
 fore prayer time the score stood 14-14
 When the second half was well un-
 der way, the gruelling battle began to
 tell on the little Kentucky team and
 they were gradually going down from
 exert1on and suspense. The powerful
 Harvard team were sending in fresh
 men continually, and the result was
 never i'll doubt after that The final
 score was 34 to IA.
 After the game the coaches and
 players of both Harvard and Center had
 nothing but praise for the ability and sportsmanship of their opponents, and this was emphasized by the officials who lauded the play of both teams Cap tain 'Bo" McMillin of Center, sum- ming up the reason for his teams de feat, said:
 Harvard had the best line, and line plays football games. Captain Hor- ween IS a good player and a clean player and his generalship was splen- did"
 The opinion was freely expressed by Coach Fisher of Harvard and his assist ants and by his predecessor, Percy D. Haughton, founder of the coaching sys-
 tenn, that Center's offensive was one of the most powerful that ever has been put forward i'll the Stadium. Coach Fisher praised the passing
 game" played by Center and said he did not believe 1t likely that the Southern CTS would be surpassed this season in this department. You did a wonderful job," the liar yard mentor said to Captain MeMil1in, when he shook hands after the game Mot wonderful answered McMillin,
 but just our best. They were just a
 little toe. big for us and wonderfully coached"
 After Coach Moran of Center had
 Congratulated Fisher, he uttered a word of praise for his own boys" and said T certainly am proud of them" You have reason to be-" replied Fisher. Do not forget for minute that you had me worried considerably at one stage of the game" When the coaches separated Moran, III formal statement, said: Tt may be possible, but 1t does not seem probable that Harvard will suf- fer defeat this year"
 The officials declared the game one of the most sportSmanl1ke in which they ever ofhciated. Commenting upon the styles of play of the teams, Referee R. w. Maxwell, of Swarthmore, said that Center's offensive appeared to, be slightly better developed than that of Harvard

McCarthy Believed to
 Have Made Worlds Record

What is believed to be worlds rec ord for duckpins made by an individual was established by Andy Mccarthy, the crack Hartford bowler, last Wednesday night at the Casino Alleys, in Hartford, when he topp1ed the pins for the phe- nomenal score of 177. The score was hung up in match with Jim" Nor iarty of the Royal team.
 High scores have been numerous with the Hartford bowler, but never did he hit the timbers with such un- canny accuracy as he did Wednesday night in performing what is believed to be record-breaking feat.
 In setting up the score, Mccarthy reeled off three strikes and six spares. In the fifth box he turned i'll double strike. In only one string, the sixth, did he fail to register mark.
 McCarthy's score of 177 by strings was: 20-40-60-83- 4-122-141-160- 177.
 That Mccarthy is set for the winter season is indicated by the manner in which he has been knocking the flying pins. According to the expert pin toppler, he is ready to meet any bowler in home and home match for purse of $1 1000 or more

GLEES AND CHAINS
 PLAY ANOTHER TIE

That the Washington G1ee Club and the much-tooted Chain team of Bridge port, are about event1y matched was shown i'll their second game at Bridge port, Sunday last, when they batt1ed to 0-O score, for the second time.
 The crowd of 5000 fans on hand saw one of the best gridiron battles ever pulled off in the Park City.
 About lhe only disappointing fea- ture of the game was an exceptionally poor decision by Referee Waters in favor of the Chains. Undoubtedly Bridgeport critics and fans will say that because it happened in the Chains favor 1t will be expected that New Haveners will dispute the ruling. However, in Justice to the Glees 1t must be said that Waters was decidedly off color in his verdict
 The play in question. involved several players but principally Johnny Nagle, who is playing slashing game at left end for the G1ees. A Chain signal was given for forward pass, with Miller as the passer. Nagle was through the line with the snap of the ball and be- fore Miller could start the throw the local man tore into him with a clean but hard tackle The impetus of Nag1e against him knocked the ball out of Miller's up-stretched arms and Ryan who had replaced Joker Kearns at right end, was under the ball in an instant Off down the field he raced and he was only halted by pursuing tacklers on the Chains 13-yard line. Waters decreed that Nagle had "roughed the passer,' claiming this technicality as illegal. To everyone on the side lines 1t was a plain case of tumble after. a hard tackle nothing else.
 All the sense of reasoning had 1ef1 Waters apparently, for he would lister to nothing the Glees had to offer in the line of suggestion In addition tc I ordering the ball returned and 1T possession of the Chains, Waters i'm posed a penalty of half the length of the field for, as he said, the G1ee player. were altogether too free with thei1 l speech toward him, an honorary of6cia l of the game. This was later rescinded | in order to continue the game No ont claims that the G1ees might have scored after the play but the position they were in seemed mighty favorable from ! an onlooker's standpoint.
 Clyde Waters, at quarterback, anc Tommy Loomis, at fu11back, were easily the stars of the game, with Joker Kearnes and Johnny Nage1 pulling tht hair raisers several times.

WILLIAMS LAMBAST
 SCHENECTADY TEAM

Either the Williams football team Is the best ever or the K of C. team from Schenectady, N. Y., is the rankest kind of footbalists, IS the opinion of most of the fans who attended last Sundays game at Weiss Field. The little Blue team smeared the "Kaceys" by score of 35 to O.
 Ripping through the Kaceys line, Peterson, Quinn, Bradford, Shatzman and Klapproth managed to get ground. The Williams were held only once for downs within yard of the line by the visitors that bolstered and held Krall who attempted to smash center for a touchdown.
 The Kaceys showed to good advant- age four times by throwing Oshie Kra1l for losses, totaling over 25 yards. Krall's attempts to run the ball from kick formation proved ineffective to the Williams.
 Hank Hanlon was one of the days victims, suffering an injured shoulder, 1t being intimated that the Williams quarterback sustained wrenched shoulder. He retired from the game in the second < period. Peterson who played stellar game i'll the backheld, also sustained sprained wrist.
 In the final period Rowley was sent back on kick formation and the big fellow thEew distance of 35 yards, the ball being caught by Bradford with Peterson carrying 1t over from the five yard mark.
 Duke" Row1ey, Red" Quinn, Brad ford and Hank" Hanlon showed to good advantage, and the game on the whole was turned into a good workout for the Williams, as Sundays game with the Chains will be hard one

recently by Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager, when the prospect of trip to Europe was submitted to him. The receipt of a cab1egram, containing in- formation of rumor through England that the champion was contemplating a trip across the briny i'll January, prompted : the denial of Manager Kearns.
 The cablegram was as follows: "Re- ported here Dempsey is coming to Eng land in January. Is it true?"
 Manager Kearns was a visitor at Madison Square Garden and denied emphatica1ly that Dempsey or himself was contemplating a trip to England Dempsey will not go to England in January, February, March, April or May" said Kearns when the propo- sition was broached to him and the contents of the cablegram made known T haven't had any advices from Eng that there was foundation for such 8 rumor. Possibly promoters abroad are considering the idea oi arranging g meeting between Dempsey and Carpen- tier or Beckett, but there have been nc definite negotiations for such a match nor Is there likely to be anything posi- tive accomplished in the immediate future.
 Dempsey is idle right now and will be until the winter sets in. I have several matches in view, however, an6 expect soon to have the champion pittee against rival. As for England, how ever, there isn't enough money over there to induce us to make the triI right now"
 And Dempsey is showing good judg ment, as he would have to knocl Beckett or Carpenter dead, else lose his title

YALE OUTLAWS
 HEAVY VIRGINIANS

The famous mountaineer team from the University of West Virginia failed to live up to their advance notices last Saturday afternoon and regenerated Yale eleven placed on the field by Coach Tod Jones experienced little difficulty i'll moving the husky Dixie team down to defeat, 24-0.
 The mountaineers' ponderous 1o3- pound line proved no barrier to the plunging Eli backs and when the Blue tired of battering the southerners' de- fense line the attack was varied by a forward passing game. The visitors might be summed up as team of un- usual weight but lacking in speed and football brains all it gained, by it's brawn.
 The contest, which was witnessed by approximately 5000 persons, was marred by an unfortunate injury to Carl Beck, the best performer of the West Virginia eleven. An accidental kick in the head administered by Ha1f- back Campbell of Yale put the big mountaineer star out of action in the opening period. It was stated after the game that kick caused slight con- cussion of the brain and that Beck will be on the invalid list for some time. Dickens, the Eli tackle, and Quarter DdCk | 1nOIllG Mul plly d4SO AoAl ailO SaiAAS later because of injuries. Throughout the entire game the Blue team was a revelation over their performance of week ago against Boston, College. There was speed, cunning and good field genera1ship in the attack of the Bulldog Saturday while the defensive play was a treat to followers of the ] team The Yale secondary defense was
 exceptionally meritorious.
 Play in the opening period had pro- gressed but a few minutes when Thorne | Murphy booted a clean field goal from the West Virginia 20-yard line.
 In the second period Frank Kelly | scored the first touchdown after beau | tiful run around left end. Later, i'll the third period Peterson was Jammed

 rest of the seasn, as his injury proved to be more serious than was thought al first. Today's game with Colgate l should be good workut and is wei

MINOR LEAGUE IN
 SUPPORT OF NEW PLAN

The big league teams supporting the Lasl1er proposition for Superior tribunal to take the place of the Ma tional Commission, are of the opinion that the minor leaguers will be with them in the new reform.
 The minor leagues throughout the country, the reformers believe, will be with them These minors have been having some experience with crooked ball players this last season, and be 1t said to the credit of the officials of the Coast league and the Southern associa-- tion that they handled the Cicottes and Jacksons and Gandils of their organlza- tions with a firm hand. One erring ball player was fined and suspended for the balance of the season by the president of the Coast league, and declared he would bring suit i'll the courts.
 "All right" said President Mccarthy, 'I'H give you something to sue about. " And he suspended the player for five years.
