Tigers Lose Out.
With the conclusion Of this Boston
New York deal 1t begins to look as
if the Detroit Tigers would lose out.
They wanted either Scott or Peckin-
paugh. Now the Yankees will hardly
turn over Scott to the Tigers. even
for Bobby Veach.

Mitchell, who has yet to show his

sible that Veach may be found in q
New York uniform. Furthermore,
Howard Ehmke is not now necessary
to the success of the Yankees. Both
Veach and Ehmke might look good
in Red Sox uniforms, but Frazee has
hardly thing left to use in trade.
The Tigers may have to begin all
over again In their effort TO add life
and dash to the lineup.

FAY KElSER A WINNER
IN POOR RING CONTEST

NEW YORK, Dec, 21.-In one OF
the poorest exhibitions seen In a local
ring in many moons Fay keiser, the
Maryland light-heavyweight, last
night was awarded the judges de-
cision over Mike Burke. of Greenwich
Village, in the Pioneer Sporting Club.
The local lad was so muscle-bound
that 1t was impossible for him to hit
straight, and as a result he spent
much of his time in clinching and
holding on. The Cumberland lad, on
the other hand, appeared so brighten
cd Of his opponent that he fairly
trembled at times. Neither boxer
landed hard blow during the twelve
rounds.
In the latter part Of the contest
Burke for a time forgot that he was
pugilist and turned wrestler. The
Greenwich Village battler got a half
Nelson on his rival and before the
referee could break the hold Burke
almost threw his opponent to the
floor. Keiser weighed 1876 pounds
while Burke was five pounds heavier

CLEVELAND. Dec 21.-"I can't
understand why I have been made

paugh, star shortstop in commenting
this morning on the deal which
sends him to Boston in exchange for
Everett Scott. THE first knew
that such a deal was in prospect was
when / read 1t in the papers this
morning. 1t seems to me that when
q man has been with a team as long
az / was with the Yankees he is en-
titled to know something about such
things in advance.
Perhaps, Higgins didn't like me
because the boys on the team all
were my friends, and mighty few of
them were HIS" he added. Its all
