game. DIR. Adams declared that he
did not authorize 1t, and Crawford de-
>clared he did.
The whole matter resulted in Craw-
ford being promptly expelled from the
university, and he left for parts un-
known. That he should bob up as cap
tain of college football team is not
unexpected. .
1t Is also not unexpected that ever
since the day he was barred from the
Quaker University, that Penn should
be constantly on the lookout for b
center. and has not been able to find

wild Burt" Kenny !
Making Shoes In
Dublin Town

"Wild Burt" Kenny, who once
fought Jack Dempsey, is now .
shoemaker. Kenny will be re-
called by local fight fans as q
fair sort of a heavyweight with a
hard wallop. About four months
ago the battler departed from
the States.
When he sailed he had am
billions of gaining fame in Euro
pean rings, but apparently some
thing must have happened that
resulted in his ambitions being
shattered, as he is now occupy
ing a seat in a cobbler's shop
instead of one in a ring. Wild
Burt has found steady employ
ment in a cobbler's shop in Dub
lin, where he drifted after sew
eral engagements in France.
Slipping from a popular boxer
to q shoemaker may be con-
sidered by some as a big slump,
but not to Kenny. He likes his
new vocation and says he is
going to stick to it indefinitely.
Perhaps he finds delight in
pounding footwear, as there is no
comeback from them.

GIVE
PITCHER D D0UL
ANOTHER TRIAL
Higgins in Need Of Sohthpaws,
and Lefty Was Best on Coast
Last Season.
BY SID MERCER.

I Unless he balks at a third term
under Manager Higgins, Lefty"
ODoul will receive another trial with
the Yankees next season. The Yanks
need left-handed pitchers badly, and
ODoul was the best in the Pacific
Coast League last season. He starred
in that league four years ago, and
was then brought East by Higgins.
but was a bust" for two years.
Higgins averred that O'Doul did
not take baseball seriously in New
York. ,O.Doul always claimed that
Higgins. did not give him a real
chance In 1920. The youngster in
Jured his arm in 1919 at Jacksonville
and was a total loss for the season.
The following spring he claimed to
be in good shape, and that assertion
was borne out by game he pitched
against the Brooklyn club in the
South few days before the opening
of the championship season.
After a wobbly start. Lefty made
suckers" out of the Dodgers. He ap-
peared to be ready, but wasn't called
on again for two or three months.
Then one day WHEN :, flock Of Yankee
pitchers were getting their bumps at
the Polo Grounds, O'Dowd stepped in
with no control and promptly stepped
out again. That was his 1920 season
with the Yankees.
When O'Doul went West that fall
he declared he would never pitch or
try to pitch for Higgins again. He
was traded to the San Francisco club
last winter, and with steady work was
big winner. Several other clubs
tried to hook Lefty but, the Yanks
exercised an option on him. He is
still the property Of the New York
club, but it is quite possible that he
may be traded to another club and
become another Shocker to annoy the
Yanks.
