WILL BERT WILLIAMS SING,
<sSOMEBODY LIEDw

Ever since the writer felt inspired
to razz hellouta the Staleys for
playing their second game in Rock
Island after the fashion of old Chief
Step-in-the-Face, the young man on
the Decatur Review has not only
condoned such barbarism by the
starch workers, but has smeared
the writer with such notoriety as
alleged sporting writer" worlds
champion welcher," "fiuke squawk-
err" and whatnot.
To indulge in any kind Of
professional personalities is .
radical deviation from the pol
icy Of The Sportsc0pe. The
class of fans which The Sport
scope aspires to cultivate Is not
kindly disposed to verbal hem
OrrhageS between sporting
writer's, but frequently there
comes a time in the course Of
human events when q slight de.
gree Of federation Is requested.
The young man on the Decatur
Review-forget the name; Pill-ard.
Willard or something-now accuses
the writer of conspiring to effect
| cancellation of last Sundays game
between the Staleys and Mime
apolis Marines. On his two-column
sport page" this young man toys
thus with libel as if it. were labelled
/ Free Speech"
Manager John Dunn of the north
ern team, informed Coach Halas
that he had received two or three
letters from Bruce Copeland, al
legged sport writer on the Rock Is
land Argus, attempting to have the
Marines cancel their game with the
Staleys." Further along, he insin-
yates that "a fellow is lucky to
come out Of" Rock Island game
alive"
Provincial self-flattery is the
| Writer'S only comment on such
: q willful attempt at defamation
Of character. The writer is not
interested enough In the affairs
Of the Staleys, other than their
last Rock Island massacre, to
warrant the alleged postage
fee.
After the young man on the De.
catur Review has been bumped
! around the general sporting field
for years, he might have learned
that to err is human, but to lei
other mems fish alone, is divine
Furthermore, he should show more
respect for his elders. Also a glance
at Gunderson, Nichols, Chicken
Wyman. ETC., should prove who was
luckiest to come out of that game
ah-without causing a stampede O,

PROMISING WINTER FOR BASE.
BALL HARUMS.

The coming winter promises sew
eral surprises in the way of major
league baseball swaps, trades and
deals. However, the negotiations
are not expected to begin before
successors are appointed for
Hughey Jennings, formerly of De-
troit; Jimmy Burke, late of the St.
Louis Browns, and George STALL
ings, late manager of the Boston
| Braves.
1t is reported that practically
every club in both major
leagues Is looking for a star
performer or two. This Speak
er Of the Worlds Champions
| is said to be cunning for a
shortst0p and couple Of pitch
ers. Ray Sewell, who finished
the season with the Indians
and played well in the series, is
not considered equal to regular
duties as yet. C0veleskie and
Bagby will be retarded greatly
unless the spitball rule is re.
scinded.
The Brooklyn Dodgers are re-
ported in the market for a couple
OF good catchers and third base
man. Miller and Kruger have
seen their best days as first class
receivers, Ebbets fans opine. The
bleacherites are also displeased
with the work Of Bill Johnston at
third base. He, too, must go, is
the consensus.
| The New York Giants, according
to John McGraw, will be looking
for successor to Larry Doyle al

fielder. Doyle has been put on the
shelf no less than three times in
the immediate past, only to come
out again as soon as warm weather
sets in and burn up the league with
his old fire. However; Larry him.
self admits that his legs are about
through; he ought to know.
Derrill Pratt, star second
saeker for the Yanks during the
last four years, has resigned to
take charge Of the University
Of Michigan baseball team. To
gil this vacancy, the Yanks are \
reported to have bought Joey
Dugan from the Athletics. Other
runners emanating from the
Yankee headquarters are that
Wally Pipp is marked for trade
and that Babe Ruth and Bob
Meusel will be tried out at first
base.
Both Chicago clubs are badly in
need Of repairs, especially the
White Sox. Several rival mag
mates have promised to do all in
their power to help Comiskey re-
build his team, which was riddled
by explosions resulting from the
baseball gambling expose. With
Johnny Evers as new manager OF
the Cubs, the Trojan will face a
testy weeding-out of ordeal as sew
eral of last seasons teams are due
! to discard.
