BALTIMORE, Jan. 2.-Jack Dunn,
Baltimore baseball magnate, an
nounced today that he would attend
the joint meeting Of the majors and
minors to be held in Chicago on jan
uary 10.
While he was debating whether it
would be necessary for him to make
the trip to the Windy City he re-
ceived letter from John Conway
kToole, newly elected president of the
international League, urging him to
attend.
President Toole wants every owner
in the International League % be
present. While the question OF the
draft has been settled. the big thing
now on the program for the Inter
national League and the American
Associa ton is for them % decide
whether they want to continuc as
members Of the National Association
of Minor Leagues or whether they
will declare their independence and
conduct their own affairs independent
of the majors and minors.
Dunn, who fathered the movement
to wipe out the draft. is equally
strong for the plan to have the Amer
lean Association and lnternationals
form a new body of their own. 1T Will
give them more prestige. 1t will rid
them of the smaller leagues, who have
been running things to suit them
selves in the National Association.
1t will be another step m the dc
velopment toward major league base
ball. Indeed, with no draft.and oper
ating independently, the cwo leagues
will be practically majors.
The Pacific Coast League is not ex-
pected to be invited to join with the
o. nts and the A. A. The western or
tganization wouldn't stick with the
other Glass IA leagues at the recent
meeting Of the National Association.
and it is reported that it will be left
to run along with the Virginia. Texas
and other little leagues.
Charles II. Knapp. attorney for the
Baltimore club, will also make the
trip to Chicago. and it is possible that
he will be offered the position OF
director of the two leagues when they
break away from the National Asso-
citation. Just how the seceders Will
be governed hasn't been decided. 1t
has been suggested that all disputes
oe decided by the two presidents and
a director to be elected.

For the fraction Of a second Mccoy

blow. He quivered like a harp strung

There was blood in Sharkey's matted

indomitable resolution. But he was

McCOY'S LAST RUSH.
In the center Of the ring came Nc
Coys last rush. Summoning all his
energies, he jumped forward. and
with an upward whirl his right fist
fell on Charkey's chin. The sailor
reared back like wild horse with
his front hoofs in the air.
Again Mccoy sprang forward like
Whit Of rifle smoke and struck like
thousand volts of electricity. He
stopped the big man as wolf stops

On Sharkey's mouth there was
bloody foam. From his throat there
came a dull rattle. He rushed at Nc

The little fellow was weak.

BOOSTS AMATEUR
BOXING

The greatest boost that anna
teur boxing has received for a
long time comes from Gen.
Palmer Pierce, head of the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic As
ISOLATION. General Pierce ad-
vocates boxing as an inter-col-
legiate sport in the strongest
terms. Its value in the develop
ment of soldiers expels all
doubt Of its right to become a
recognized college sport.
Carefully controlled and di-
rected, there is little Doubt of
the educational value of the
manly art of self-defense,"
says General Pierce.
Expert opinion of this kind
puts the objections to boxing
which come from the reformers
down for the count.

HARVARD DESIRING
NO GRID ADVANTAGE
Alumni Bulletin Says Crimson
Willing to Change System
OF Big Games.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Jan. 1.-THE
Harvard Alumni Bulletin declares
that IL there is an advantage for
Harvard playing Princeton and Yale
two weeks apart In football Harvard
men will gladly do their share TO re-
move it, The Bulletin says the fact
that Princeton met Harvard and Yale
IN successive Saturdays and Yale met
Princeton and Harvard In like uan-
ner has proven no handicap, accord
ing to these two great rivals, In fact
the only ones to voice an objection
that this method OF playing annually
might prove a handicap to Harvard's
rivals have come from Crimson ad-
herents
In the current issue of the Bulletin.
discussing Harvard's prospects Tor
next fall. the editor says:
"It looks on paper as though the
Harvard eleven would have It's
hands full In 1921. and those critics
who have sometimes said that Har'
ward had too easy time before the
Princeton and Yale games Will ap-
parently have little reason for fault
finding next season.
There remains. however. the basis
for the chief complaint-that Har-
ward has an easy game between It's
Princeton and Yale contests, although
both Yale and Princeton have to
play their most important competi-
tors on successive Saturdays.
ISN'T ALWAYS EASY.
THAT criticism rests on the as
an easy one. Sometimes II Is, and
sometimes II is not. 1t is true, at
any rate, that Harvard usually plays
against Brown team made up In
large measure OF substitutes and that
most of the first-string men are saved
for the Yale game.
No Harvard supporter will be con-
tent with an arrangement which
gives the Harvard team year after
year an advantage over Yale and
Princeton. II the present situation Is
unfair to Yale and Princeton, Har-
ward men are eager to know what the
remedy is and the best way OF ap-
plying II.
zone suggestion is that Harvard
should have on the Saturday be-
tween the Princeton and Yale games
an opponent equal to either of those
elevens But II Harvard played.
for example, Dartmouth on the Sat
urday between the Princeton and
Yale games. Harvard would then
have in succession three games OF
the hardest kind and would be worse
off than Princeton and Yale now are
II IT is conceded that those teams
are now at a disadvantage in COM
parison with Harvard.
OFFERS NEW PLAN.
Another plan Is that the contests
between Yale. Princeton and Harvard
shall be arranged so that the disac-
vantages and benefits, IL there are
any. OF the annual schedules shall be
equally distributed through series
of years. That suggestion would TX
the games between the three colleges
as follows on the first three Saturdays
on November in the next six years:
