IndfctinE the Fan.
Dear Sir-How about the base
ball fan in all this discussion? Why
doesn't he, in at least a great many
instances, also come in for his share
of the general indictment? Hasn't
he cheered and applauded and stood
for draft dodgers and former con-
victs and treated them as heroes?
Hasn't he >Stood for managers he
knew were a heavy detriment to
his sport by their acts off the field ?
II the fan wants a cleaner and bet
ter game he must contribute his
share. Otherwise. he will continue
to get just what he has got-and
have no kick coming.
FORMER FAN.
Which isn't so many millions of
miles away from the plain, solid
unvarnished, unadorned truth.

CARL MAYS DOES
 NOT USE A BEAN
 BALL. SAY MOGULS
Miller Huggins and Ed Bar row Dispute Claims of
 of "HOwlers"

New York, February 10.-tSpe-
 ciaI)-MiIIer HuEgins of the Ynn-
 kees and Ed Barrow of the Red sox
 are doing a "doubIe" now. stung
 to action by recent reports that
 many ball players in the junior
 league are awaiting an emporium
 ity to "gct'' Pitcher Carl Mays be-
 cause of his menacinE "bean ball."
 the former and present manager of
 Mays have plunged into the spot
 light to put fandom right about
 the only hurIer in captivity who
 seriously threatens to disrupt
 baseball organization.
 Barrow declares reports about Mays so-called bean balr' have been gar bled and distorted by those who are jealous of his success. Huggins states Mays wouldn't harm anybody and that his bean ball" looks dangerous be- cause of the peculiar delivery employed by the pitcher.
 The howlers are not worrying us, said the Yanks' manager, because we figured on hearing a lot about Mays bean ball We were prepared for such talk last season after Mays joined us, but it did not materialize at that time. Those who are peeved becausee Mays landed with the Tanks and remained with the Tanks are responsible for the howl Had Mays landed with Cleve- land Chicago or any other club, there V ould have been no talk about the bean balI or unusual delivery. Those who are banning Mays are jealous of his success and the position he holds with regard to the rumpus in the league"
 Barrow declares he is not interested in the controversy other than to see credit placed where credit is due. Mays is good fellow, and l don't believe he would try to hit a batsman any more than would Walter Johnson. Nobody ever questions, Johnsons fast one. although it sometimes goes so close to a batter's head as to make it appear Walter is really trying to knock man off Johnson is s good fellow. and so is Carl Mays. I know Mays and I cannot figure him trying to hit any batter"
 Mays has a peculiar delivery. His delivery is a side-arm affair and every swing he starts at about his shoe tops his arm when it reaches it's destina- ton. Its a shame to give player like Mays a bad name' said Barrow, flor such procedure will tend to re- bound to the evil of every high-class ball player in the business" Mays re- gently refused to comment on the charge that he used the "bean ball" 'I have nothing to say" was Carls re- ply,

HOME SECTOR PANS
 CHAMPION DEMPSEY
'1s Jack as Great Fighter as Scot
 ty, 17-Year-Old Soldier?"

The Home Sector, the ex-soldiers I weekly. conducted by the former edi- torial council of the Stars and Stripes 1 ir contracting the war records of 1 Georges Carpenter, French heavy weight champion, and Jack Dempsey, champion of the United States, says: If there is no unforeseen interven- tion or failure of plans. Jack Dempsey will climb into the squared ring next summer carrying the title of America S greatest fighter, and. in the most ad- vertised, most lucrative prize fight in the history of sports, will endeavor to hold the worlds championship.
 ''America's greatest fighter? Pause over the phrase.
 "America's greatest fighter-hero of few weeks in the shipyards. hero of few minutes battle with Jess Will lard hero of the fur overcoat and the fat bank account, hero of the moving pictures at several thousand dollars a week. hero of two peaceful and emi- nently profitable years in the United States while the greatest worlds cham pionship was being fought several thousand miles away.
 Americas greatest fighter-he who never knew the feel of gun on his shoulder, the weight of a full pack on lis back, the weary length of a muddy kilometer, the whine of an enemy shell.
 ''Is he as great "a fighter as Scotty the l7-year- old boy who. put to hold path in the woods north of Chateau Thierry, killed thirty charging Ger mans before he died on his Chauchat? :?
 "America's greatest fighter? No. not |, by several millions. And the picture of Dempsey demanding $400,00O for an hours appearance in the ring. the re- cent discussion of the possibility of his going to France to fight two years after the fighting is over over there. is too much. The present tolera tion of Dempsey denotes lack of considera- tion for every one of the five million fighting men in this country The sug- gestion that he go to France is some- thing like an insult to- those old bud dies of ours who. not so many kilo- meters from Paris. lie row on row, through snow and rain and sunshine, never to fight-nor speak-again.
 Dempsey is a case for all the re- turned service men in this Sountry-es- pecially. perhaps. for the greatest or ganized fraction of them, the American Legion. Resolutions protesting against his further public appearance as a fighting man, resolutions asking him to relinquish his title in favor of some one else-someone perchance who knows the taste of slum and beans might help the situation"

CENTRAL ID MEET COUNTY FIVE TODAY Return Game Between High School Basketball
 Quintets
PROBABLE LINE-UPS FOR TODAY'S GAME

1 The Central High school basketball | team, after over a week of inactivity, will again enter battle this afternoon against the Jefferson county quintet. The game today is a return affair. and will be played on the local Brming gham Athletic Club court
 In the game previously played, Gen. tral came off an easy victor, but Coach Burbage is expecting no such easy time in today's game. The county boys have improved considerably. and should be able to give the Crimsons a hard fight for the decision this afternoon. A gap in CentraFs schedule was caused by the fact that the Bessemer High School quintet cancelled the re- turn game, which was to have taken place the latter part of last week.
 Despite the fact that there was no immediate game on the schedule, Coach Burbage has kept his men hard at work. Daily work outs have been held at the Birmingham Athletic Club, and the Crimsons will be in good condition for the game this afternoon.
 When Central defeated Sidney 'I4anier here a short time ago, the state cham pionship became a possibility to the Crimsons Unless defeat .overtakes the flying Crimsons, they will have as good "a claim to the title as any team in the state.
 The Central authorities are trying to arrange games with the chief contend CTS for the title, and Central will have at least one more new team to conquer before she can definitely claim the title
 Earl Barks, guard, and Toby Stubbs. forward, are back in the game and go- ing fine. Both Stubbs and Barks are in dlspensable cogs in the Crimson ma chine, and their presence in today's game will cause Eentrals stock to rise several notches higher.
 The game will be played at the Bir- mingham Athletic Club, and will begin at o'clock.

 The remainder of the series was played under the supervision of one umpire, and everyone was happy.

Jin1 HoUers OUer Managers
 and OWTiers of Boston Sox
Poor Luck Attends Efforts of All Connected With Ill-Fated Red Sox-Examples of
 Failures-Present Officials
By JAMES J. CoRBErr

Ownership and management of the Boston Red sox size up as jobs to which most peculiar jinx has been attached. Since the American League franchise was awarded to Boston nearly a score of men have been connected with the pos session pr the leadership of the team. Something unpleasant or unfortunate has happened to practically everyone.
 Charlie Somers, first owner of the club, held forth there in 1901 and 1902. He shifted to the Cleveland club and went broke in baseball. So desperate became the plight of Somers as regards finances that it was necessary for his holdings to be sold at considerable sacrifice. It was estimated that the first owner of the Sox sunk nearly $1,Oo00O0 in baseball.
 Henry Killilet owned the club through 1903 and 1904. Then he decided that he had enough of 1t and even though the team won pennants in both years that he possessed it Killilea did not find pos session of the Boston Red Sox a very happy one. So he disposed of it to John I. Taylor and a few of the latter s friends.
 TAYLOR UNSUCCESSFUL
 The career of Taylor as owner of the Sox extended from 1905 through to 1911. It was stormy at it's very best. Taylor had the unhappy faculty of getting "ln bad with the fans and practically dur ing his entire major league connection he found that the happiness and possi- ble profits that came from ownership, did not recompense in real measure for the hurts Of criticism and condemnation
 So James R. McA1eer appeared as owner of the club in 1912. The team that season swept through to worlds cham pionship heights and McAleer made a fortune in his venture. But the method of ticket sales during the world series ot that year did not please the Boston fans and they put into effect what was prac- tically a boycott when the 1913 campaign started This situation became so em- barrassng to McAleer that he sold our in mid-season to Joseph J. Lannin. who're taned possession of the club until the close of 1916.
 Lanning is perhaps the only man iden- tified with the club who actually made a lot of money out of it. But Lannin did
