The fact that the Americans had
clinched the Davis cup by their vic

affect their playing today. They
were just as keen to win as though
the championship hung on the result
of the final matches.
Brookes, who lost to Tilden in the
singles on the first day, gave john

Tilden had to extend himself TO the

BOBBY ROTH GOES
TO YANKEE OUTFIT
Griff Swaps Him for Outfielder
Duffy Lewis and "Lefty'
Migridge, Pitcher.

AS New Years present, Bobby
Roth receives notification today
through his favorite sports page
that next spring will find him wear
ing Yankee uniform. "Braggo"
has been snapped to the Yankees
for Duffy Lewis, the veteran out
fielder and Lefty" Mogridge, the
veteran southsidc singer. It's a
sort of deal involving a nickel for
five coppers.
Roth started off like wnirlwind
last year. Then he stopped with
great suddenness and never again
got going. For six or seven weeks
he ran wild on the bases and ham
mered in any number of runs with
timely wallops. Then he curled up
under the hot sun and rode through
the campaign. 1t has been an open
secret for some time that Roth
would not be with the Griffmen in
1921.
Lewis tried to retire last year,
but was coaxed finally to report to
the Yankees. Lewis is heavy as
lead on his feet, but in the field Is
still a marvellous gardener. Not a
hard hitter, Lewis slammed the pill
for .275 last season and is most
dangerous in a pinch. Being right
hand hitter, he should fit in well
with Griff's long string of southpaw
bGtsmen.
MoRridCe's chief value should be
his control and ability to rush to
the rescue of ailing pals. He has
been in the league for six years.

BOB FITZSIMMONS FELL LIKE A DEAD MAN
WHEN jim JEFFRIES PUT OVER SLEEPER"
~ RIGHT CROSS.

Boxing Editor. ". Y. Evening Journal)
Fitz came to the center as will
ingly as Jeffries. He never
faltered. And in this last battle
he proved his gameness as he
never did before. jeff, with the
same lazy caution and long,
sneaky, left-hand feints, came in,
shifted to the left, broke ground,
worked in again and drew a left
hand lead.
He blocked it and came into the
clinch with a furious right-hand
jolt over the heart. He broke,
feinting again, and Fitzsimmons
tried the right. 1t missed. Then
came the left. 1t was blocked.
Again jeff tented at the body.
Then he stabbed it once. There
came that awful hook to the jaw.
Then, like a flash, back came the
arm, then out straight as a piston
rod full to Fitzsimmons' jaw.
BLOW SHAKES FITZ TO HEELS.
1t shook Fitz to his heels. His
knees bent and his hands dropped
from position. Jeff, who had
stepped back, threw up the left
arm as a block and shot in. The
right, from a half arm position.
went straight to the jaw.
Fitzsimmons fell like dead
man. His back struck, then his
shoulders, with a bang, then his
head with a thud. His outstretched
arms Topped down beside him.
Jeff looked at him and, rubbing
his nose with the thumb of his
right glove, stepped back, then
strolled over to the ropes, all the
time watching him from the cor
nor of his eye.
At the count of ten q throaty
cheer went up which announced
the new champion. In second
from either corner came men like
ants. Brady, with one wild, happy
cry, threw his arms about Jeff's
neck. Then came Delaney, then
Jack (Jeffries' brother, then
Ryan. Hundreds of hands were
outstretched toward the corner. A
thousand voices cheered.
FORGETS BEATEN MAN.
In the other corner there was a
different scene. Three men who
had known the champion long and
liked him we'll picked Fitz up and
carried him to the chair. They
worked hurriedly to bring him
back to consciousness. No one
noticed him nor them; they were
but the seconds of defeated
champion; he but a heavyweight.
Jim Jeffries is by long odds the
greatest heavyweight fighter the
world has ever seen. There is no
man today who has a chance with
him. He has demonstrated that
he can beat Sharkey. Mccoy is
too light. Maher would be one
real good thing. Rubin is not in
his class.
He gave the public a perfect per-
Torrance, and is a sort of man
who may always be depended
upon. There is no boastfulness
about him. He is honest to his
last breath. He is modest and,
best of all, he is.a thoroughgoing
American and a real good fellow.
Our respects to the new cham
pion of the world.

ZJPPKE HAS FOOL IDEA
FOR FOOTBALL FUMBLES

CHICAGO. Dec. 31.--Coach Robert
C. Zuppke, of Illinois, attending the
convention here of the, National In
tercollegiate Association, yesterday
advanced new idea for football
rule, asserting that gain or score
made by a man who RECEIVERS
fumbled ball should not be counted.
The man who usually makes such a
gain or touchdown is one who might
be termed the "loafer" on the team,
who lags behind waiting for such an
opportunity, he said.
The man responsible for the tumble
and the possible subsequent touch
down is punished enough by the loss
OF the ball in his opinion.

that California will win by the margin

running plays have unlimited power

could not get any accuracy on his
losses.
Both teams should score, Cali

I do not believe Ohio State can march
through the California line for a
touchdown.
