Was the ball that was used in the two major leagues in 1921 Hvelier than in former years?
 You can take my word for 1t that it was. I feel safe in saying that the ball in use in 1921 was the very best ball ever placed on the market
 note that certain authorities claim the ball in use last year was not a bit livelier than the ball in use in previous years. Said authori- ties point to the lack of hitting in the world series as proof that it was poor pitching, rather than a lively ball, that made 1921 such a big year for the sluggers.
 Best Material
 Without the slightest hesitation, reiterate that the balI in use in 1921 was the best ball I have ever seen | don't for a minute believe there was ever any intention to make the ball liyeher in order to increase the hitting. On the other hand, I am positive the lively ball of last year was due almost entirely to the fact .hat the material used was of the pest and uniform throughout while he workmanship could not have been improved upon.
 The grade of yarn was so excellent that if permitted the ball to be very tightly wound. which naturally add I'd to its liveliness. I cut open sev- eral balls in the spring Of the sea son and the yarn, when cut sprung up as if a iack-in the-boX Latel ip the year I cut open some balls ane

 Warner Loses One
 However. the biggest coupe planned by Warner never materialized. It seems Warner always had desire to make Harvard the goat for his trick stuff. One year when his regulars removed their heavy sweaters to start the game. each player had a regular sized football worked on his jersey. So that by merely assuming the posi- ton a player ordinarily does in run ming with the ball. each player ap- peared to have a ball tucked under his arm.
 Percy Houghton, who was then coaching Harvard, yelled murder, but Warner merely smiled, and insisted there was nothing to bar such a ceeo-

MAKING IT PLAIN

Just so long as college football ard fashion, the annual fall tangle as to who is really the champion will continue.
 Only the defeat of Ohio State by Illinois cleared up the situation in the Western Conference. A victory for State would have given that team grounds for claiming the title. On the other hand, Iowa had plenty of evidence to offer in behalf of it's claim. Chicago. incidentally, further straightened out the situation by de- feating Wisconsin,
 The location Of Iowa doesn't make 1t a very desirable attraction for Ohio State. Lynn St Johns. di- rector of athletics, when asked to explain the situation, offered the fol- lowing argument:
 "The logical big games for Ohio State are Michigan, Chicago and Illi- nois While we still have another year to go with our two-year con- tract with Minnesota, the great dis tance between the two universities makes the scheduling of games a great task for both eleyens. The big gest objection on the part of both the Ohio and Minnesota faculty is that college work is seriously i'm paired because of the time required for the trips. It is the same with Iowa. A mere matter of distance has kept Iowa off our schedule. That alone kept us from talking business with Iowa for this year. The location of Ohio State at one ex- treu1e of the conference teams makes it a tough job to arrange games with teams at the other extreme, and sat isfy all conditions. Inasmueh as coaches and directors arrange sched- ules to best suit their own conditions. tangles will always arise, when two or more teams in the conference have clean records.''

J. McGratD Explains

Manager McGraw of the New York Giants certainly has the cour- age of his convictions. Since the close of the series some critics have banned him for his judgment in twice starting Fred Toney. instead of Barnes, who was the hero of the series. This from McGraw should si- lence them: T pitched Toney be- cause he had performed consistently throughout the season and made pos sible the winning of the pennant. Barnes was a bust the greater part of the year. His work was a bigger surprise to me than any one else. Of course I was delighted. Even after the first game. I lacked the courage to start him.

Billy EUQf1S Calls Warner
 GreQteSt Grid Magician
By BILLY EVANS

Where are the trick plays of the old days that used to give the foot ball fans a thrill? Incidentally they offered food for conversation during the rest of the winter.
 Glen Warner, now so successfully coaching the University of Pittsburg, was the master magician of the old days. The football season was not complete unless Warner pulled some of his sleight of hand stuff in one of the big games.
 The old time football fans recall without difficulty the year that War ner pulled the hidden ball trick against Harvard. One of the fast men in the Carlisle back field was equipped with sweater having an elastic band around the bottom.
 On the kickoff the Indians all massed together, as was customary in the old days, ta form Interference for the player carrying the ball. As the Carlisle players massed together the player who caught the ball stuck it under the back of the sweater with the elastic equipment. Then the players scattered and all ran in the direction of the Harvard goal. The Crimson players were bewildered, as no one seemed to be carrying the ball The Indian with the ball secreted
  the field for touchdown Harvard entered strenuous protest, claiming the play illegal, but it stood.
 Secreted Player
 Warner later pulled another one that set the football world to talking. In pulling several trick plays he used player secreted on the side lines. covered by one of the big blankets which a great many of the teams used. The player would be just within the sidelines and would be lying flat op the ground. To make the play all the more intricate, it was customary to have several substitutes lying around the same way, but just outside the side lines. At the start of play. the athlete concealed along the side lines would jump to his feet. throw off the blanket and then pull some weird trick at the expense of the opposition.
 Those two plays were responsible for section of rule 23, which now reads: There shall be no unsports- manlike conduct on the part of the

More Woe For Johnson

It is rumored that President Ban Johnson of the American League is skating on thin ice. President Dunn of the Cleveland club is said to be none too friendly, because two pro- tested games went against him last year, both being awarded to New York. Dunn was formerly strong fol Johnson. On the other hand, the New York club, which year age was yelling for Johnson's head, is probably now lined up for him. Pres ident Johnson is a living example oi the theory, Its a great life if you don't weaken"

Midget Macey who is scheduled to meet Young Arnold in the SIX round main event of the American Legion boxing card at the Ramona theater this evening is touted by the boys on the inside as a formidable oppon- ent for the local pride.
 The wise boys" predict kayo and are taking a chance on Macey to deliver. His workouts since his arrival here proved his class as a boxer and a puncher for his weight. His coast record looks good. espec- tally with a four-round bout with George Washington Lee, the Chinese lad who is giving the best bantams in the country some worry these days. Lee beat Macey in four rounds. but he couldn't stop him. He says ire will beat Young Arnold and do it early.
 By staging weekly tournaments the Legion Boxing committee hopes to develop some high class local talent and give the fans real boxing enter tainment during the winter.
 Plenty of good material can be found in Phoenix if properly handled and the boys understand they fight or get out. Jack Doyle has devel- oped the best boxing stadium on the Exest coast through his demands for action and the fans pack his Vernon arena every Tuesday night knowing they will SC plenty of fight.
 The Ramona theater is well heated and the seats are comfortably ar ranged to give the fans a perfect view of the ring from all parts of the house. Special ringside seats will e provided on the stage. By staging the fights in an en- closed arena the management will be able to keep perfect order and a special invitation is extended to the lady fans who enjoy good clean box | ing.
 The entire card has been matched to give the fans the best possible talent and popular prices will prevail. Young Arnold has a following in this city

Barney Dreyfus and John McGraw would be delighted if there was some way to tie the can on basket ball. Maranville of the Pirates and Frankie Frisch of the Giants. the two outstanding stars of their clubs, are both hooked up in the basket ball game. Each manages and plays on one of the crack eastern profess sional teams. The money is so big, that they turn a deaf ear to all sug- Eestions that they are taking big chances of shortening their baseball career because of injuries.

Nofre Dame Plays
 AUuv

Notre Dame is to play West Point after all. The alleged break was due to the trouble between Major Daly of West Point and Coach Rockne of Notre Dame. Daly. the former liar yard star, coaches the West Point eleven. During the Notre Dame and West Point game, in which the Army was beaten 2S to O. Daly several times offered strenuous objection to the shift play as used by Notre Dame, and became involved in several arguments with the officials as well as Coach Rockne. It is claimed that he himself stated Notre Dame would be cut from the Army schedule. Evi- dently everything has been patched up. as the Army schedule for 1922 will include Notre Dame.

IolDa Victory Popular

While Ohio State men did not relish the trimming handed Wilce's pupils by Illinois. the defeat was good news to lot of other Western Conference men. State has been hogging the limelight for years. Iowa as the result of States defeat. has q clear title to the champion ship. The under dog always is the favorite. Had Ohio State defeated Illinois. there would have been the usual winter dispute. with State probably having the edge, although Iowa is considered a better team.
