JOCKEY O'NEIL IS
 PUNISHED IN FRANCE


 New York, November 2S.-(Special)-A scandal involving American jockeys and recalling the disgrace of Tod Sloan has just burst like a thunderbolt on the French turf hitherto regarded as the cleanest in the world.
 A number of suspicious incidents in rapid sequence during the summer set the stewards watching, with the result that one jockey, Brothes, was ruled off the turf for life
 Further accusations of foul riding were made and these resulted in the French jockey, Allemand, third on the list ot winning riders, being suspended fndefl- nitely, and his license withdrawn.
 But the eliminating sensation came when Frank O'Neil of St Louis, jockey for the Vanderbilt, Macomber and other American stables, and heading the win ming jockeys by more than 20 victories, was suspended for the remainder, of the season for alleGedly not trying to win on a favorite.
 O'Neil rode Spion Kop to victory in the English derby at Epson this year and IS considered by many sportsmen the best professional rider in Europe.

BOORDE WILLING
 TO MEET LARRY AVERA

Freddie BoOrde was not angry when he read Walk Miller's letter in yesterday mornings Age-Her- aid, stating that his tMilier's) box CT, Larry Averam, was willing to meet both Boorde and Hanlon the same night, and that if Avera didn't knock BOOrde out in 10 rounds he would consider himself
 beaten. On the other hand, he was rather highly amused.
 It's a pretty come-off when a well terweight boxer the same as challenges a 12S-pound lightweight. Avera has it on me at least 15 pounds in weight, but I am not afraid of him.

Judge Landis'
 Hot On Trail .Of Gamblers

New York, November 28.- The most important matter in the welfare of "the national game" is the complete divorc- ing from it of the gambling ele- ment, Judge Kenesay M. Lan- dis, new head of organized baseball said here today before starting back for Chicago. Judge Landis attended the army-navy football game yes terday as the guest of>owners of the New York Giants.
 T don't want to be hailed as a die tator nor a savor.' he said. What I am seeking is to learn the best things to be done, and I want the help of everybody with the best interests of the game at heart.''
 He said he had no profound or deeply mysterious schemes for dealing with baseball, but emphasized his determina- tion to make the game clean.
 '"The cooperation of baseball and civil authorities could accomplish much to- ward eliminating crookedness,'' he added. ITO show how essential it is to get rid of the gambling influence, my experience and observation as lawyer and judge has been that there is no crime this cle- ment won't commit for some ends. don't mean all professional gamblers are of that kind-some of them are pretty decent fellows-but that such is the spirit of professional gambling.
 If more stringent laws are needed to prevent wrongdoing in baseball they can be effected through either federal or state statutes. l don't believe there would be any difficulty in having such legislation introduced in Washington, for decent people are too fond of the game not to do what they can for it's good.
 Judge Landis will return to New York December 15 to attend joint meeting or the American and National leagues TOT the purpose of discussing reconstruction plans.

RUMOR HAS TT GRIEF
 BROUGHT S7,OOO SUM

Regardless of how much foundation our New Orleans contemporary may have for the following article, it is re- printed from the Item, one of the big three daflies Tn the Crescent City:
 'SDuring the minors meeting in kansas City, w. ID. smith of Bir- mingham was showing q claim he had or would have had before the national commission if it was func- tioning, against Squire Ebbets for total of some $g 900 or it's equiva- lent in cash and players for Out fielder Griffith. Smith displayed copies of te1egrams exchanged which, on their fnce would trans fer a lot of worlds series money from the coffers of the Brooklyn club. Probably one of the first cases the new governing body will hear will be that of the Birming- ham club against the Brooklyn club for payment in the Griffith deaI.o
 Bert Griffith was certainly worth that much sum, and it is highly proba- ble that the Barons were paid that much for him.

 Tho fire. was caused, it is said. by some small negro boys, who applied a match to the car.

 and M.
 Coach Stegeman. Georgia. |. FEW SHIFTS IN THE {. LINEUP NECESSARY :. Lightsey, a Clemson tackle was left off the first pick, although he had mo re '-oeSo 'iioli Aiioooy Ol 1SHtIt, WHO was :. placed at end on the first team. It was necessary to place Lightsey on the scc- ond team to make room for Snoddy, as no other end was available and Light sey himself could hardly play the posi- ton.
 Then, Shirey of Auburn and Wight of /. Tulane, both ends, were left off entire 1. ly, while Weaver and Montgomery. :. both of Centre, were given second tealn places, although the latter two had Iuss votes tha Shirey and Wight. It was necessary To Ieave Shirey and Wight off to make room for Montgomery end , Weaver. as Staton and Clements scinched the end positions with several more votes than Shirey and Wight, nd Weaver and Montgomery were needed for center and guard, respectively. Shirey and Wight had six votes each, while Weaver and Montgomery had only five each
 TECH HAS FIVE MEN ,'s. ON THE TWO TEAMS ..a .;. Georgia Tech has five men on the two teams, three of whom are on the y fiFst team. Georgia and Centre have s four each, while Alabama and Auourn :. fave three each. Vanderbilt has one man on the two teams. Clemson and Mississippi cillege, both of whom have SOiiPdi q dtifcly SHdli eleNenS, nave man on each of the teams.
 Ffncher, powerful tackle of GeOr-
 Eia Tech. was the only man to re- ceive unanimous election to the first team. Thirteen authorities
 voted, and each gave Fincher two
 votes. Barron was next with 24 . votes, while 'BO'' McMiIlin. touted ..... as ail-American quarterback, had i,.... 22 voefs. This wns due probably to ,!i.i the fact that not all of those who
 picked elevens regarded Centre
 College players as eligible to the
 team, due to the fnct that the ! "Praying ColOneIs" play only . few
 teams in this section of the south, ..s With such a representative squad of sport authorities voting and with seven ".southern colleges represented on the composite all-southern teams the :. above teams are as near the average . ~ one is able to pick.
