DREYFUSS WON 7
SELL P|TTSbURG
BASEBALL TEAM
Owner of Pirates Answers Ru-
mors by Saying wait Until
Next Season Is Over"

NEW YORK. Oct. 29.-Now comes
the rumor that Barney Dreyfuss is
going to quit baseball. The story
has been circulated that the hard
working owner OF the Pittsburgh
Pirates is going to sell out his inter
ests in the club and retire from the
game with which he has been asso-
ciated thirty-five years or more.
However, those who are close to
Dreyfuss and Barney himself deny
that he is going to step down. They
say he is going to make another at
tempt in 1922 to win the National
League pennant and is ready to
spend a lot of money to purchase
new players for George Gibson.
Gibson is to manage the club
again, He has earned that right by
the manner in which he drove his
men almost to the pennant this year.
Gibby is to be given a free rein In
building up his club, and IL he sue
ceeds in adding strength, he will
have a mighty strong team again.
The story that Dreyfuss was going
to sell out followed the failure /of
the Pirates to sustain the mad dash
they had made all through the hard
season. When the team collapsed
under the direct blows Of the Giants
Il was said that Barney was getting
tired. He has not had a winner since
1909,
But Dreyfuss. one Of the men who
has been a bulwark of strength to
baseball, is not the type of man to
quit because a team he has pinned
his hopes to fails to come through.
He would have liked nothing better
in the world than to have landed his
club out in front. but he took the
defeat in good grace.
A few days after the Pirates had
been counted out II was rumored
that an offer had been made for the
club. But whether this Is so or not
Dreyfus, who attended the world
series here, would not say.
Asked at that time II he was going
to sell out, Dreyfus laughed and he
piled:
well, the Pirates nearly copped
the flag-this year. Walt until next
season"
Which seemed to be enough to kill
the rImors. But they persisted, and
Pittsburgh papers have been ssying
since then that the buccaneers chief
was ready to step out Of the picture
His friends now insist that he will
do no such thing.

CHAMP IN BOUT
Rice Forced to Retire in Seventh
Round Of Scrap With
Friedman.
by SID MERCER.

NEW YORK. Oct. 2s.-English
blood was shed profusely but in
vain last night at Madison Square
Garden when Ernie Rice, holder Of
the Lord Lonsdale Belt, emblematic
OF the British lightweight champion.
ship, was forced to retire In the
seventh round OF his bout with
Sailor Friedman, of Chicago
Though strong and willing. Rice
was partly blinded by a crimson
stream that spurted from a deep
cash over his left eye. He fought
at great disadvantage for five
rounds. In the seventh the damaged
optic was almost closed when Char
ley Harvey, his American manager.
tossed a towel into the ring and
halted the unequal contest.
The token Of surrender fell at
Referee Johnny Haukop feet after
thirty-one seconds OF fighting In the
seventh round, Rice had then lost
the sight of one eye temporarily,
and was merely cropping for his
adversary. Up to that time Fried.
man had the better OF three rounds
and the other three were about
even.
Rice displayed a style that took
the old timers back thirty years.
and but for his wound might have
outpointed Friedman who is rugged
but not clever. However, as the
Englishman fought most Of the time
with blood streaming down his face,
judgment ON his ability as boxer
and his endurance must be with
held. 1t may be said, though, that
he is no match for Benny Leonard.

Free Trial For Goal
Is Injurious to
Basketball

The basketball rule makers are
making an effort to do away with
the free goal shooting rule. The
rule which permits the free trial
at goal after each foul often
makes it possible for the team
with one good free goal shooter
to win the game regardless Of
team play or skill at goal-shoot-
ing from scrimmage.
Basketball gained firmer hold
on popular favor last season than
it had ever enjoyed before, and
the game is in for even a greater
season.
1t is gaining headway in the
colleges and has become so at
tractive as an amateur sport that
the professional game is gaining
favor with fans who formerly
completely ignored the sport.
