profession and restores the confidence
of the public the new government of
national pastime will be "A bowling sue
cess.
In spite of extraordinary offers for
certain stars and numerous trade prop
ositions. little or nothing has been
accomplished except by Miller Hug
gins. leader of the Yankees. whose
Schang, McNally, Hoyt and Harper of
the Red Sox and Roth of tho Wash
ingtons.
Huggins, therefore, has effected two
of the strictly major league transfers
recorded since the end of the 1920 cam
paisn. He turned Pratt, Wick. Rucl and
Thormahlen over to the Boston Amer
leans and released Lewis and Mogridge
to the Senators. The other big league
swap involved Rube Marquard and
Dutch Ructher, who will pitch for the
Reds and Robins, respectively this
year.
Seven major league clubs have new
managers. yet six of them so far have
been unable to arrange an exchange
of PLAYERS with n rival club. The new
leaders are Ty Cobb. Detroit Tigers;
Lee Fohl. st. Louis Browns: George
Mcbride. washingtons; Hugh Duffy
Boston Red Sox; Johnny Evers. Chica-
go Cubs: Bill Donovan, Phillics, and
Fred Mitchell, Boston Braves. Duffy
approved the deal suggested and put
over by the Yankees leader
If the owners of the st. Louis Card
iuals had been willing to sell Rogers

cold cash the transfer would have been
clinched by tho New York magnates
beyond a question. But the Mound
City promoters feared that the loss of
Hornsby would have killed their busi-
ness at home. Manager McGraw. who
made a final attempt to secure Horns
by in Chicago has returned to Cuba,
but he still is working the wires with
the idea that in some way either
Hornsby Maranvillo or Whitted may
be able to wear the Giants uniform.
II none of these stars can be OBJ
talncd by McGraw the Giants probably
will begin the National league race in
April with Kelly. F'risch and Rapp on
tho bases and Bancroft at short. Nc
Graw has been advised that Rapp. pur-
chased from the St. Louis club for SIS
600 is finished third baseman. and
that IL wo'Ild be a mistake to try him
at the middle bag. As Frisch can play
second as well as anybody. McGraw
probably will experiment with the in
field combination named above as soon
as hard work begins in the south.

YALE and HARVARD TOC0MBINE
TRACK SQUADS FOR ENGLAND

Kirby. chairman of the advisory com
mittcc, have become practically dead
thru limitation OF their powers The
resolution to form the committee was
passed. and II may become a law at
tho meeting on March 5.
The new faculty committee, II
formed. would meet with the executive
committee in the administration OF the
the associations affairs. In the past.
tho only important power given the
faculty body was that OF deciding on
questions of eligibility of athletes.
There have been SO few of these cases
in the last few years that they have
had almost nothing to do.
Among the other changes discussed
was a plan TO add javclin and discus
throwing contests to the schedule Of
events for tho intercollegiate track and
meeting with a great deal OF opposi-
ton, but Is highly favored by those
Interested in this country participa-
ton in the olympic games. 1t was
realized at Antwerp last summer that
tho United States must improve in
those events in order to continue long
in possession OF the worlds athletic
supremacy. For the same reason II
WAS proposed to add n quarter mile
hurdle race TO the program and TO
change thcStwo-milc run to "A three
mile AFFAIR. We were lacking in capa-
bic distance men at the last intcrna-
tional games.
Massachusetts Institute Of Technol-
ogy has proposed to tho governing
committees OF the association that tho
running of tho intercollegiate cross
country championship be held on a
Monday instead of a Saturday in tho
future. The purpose OF the change is
to give the race added Importance, tho
present plan OF running 1T on the
morning OF one Of the biggest football
games of tho year making II secondary
in public interest to the other contest.
This proposal probably will be adopted
along with another plan to- have tho
race run over the same course each

New Haven. Conn. Jan. 2c.-Yait
athletic authorities are anxious to in
wade England with a track and field
team that will be enabled to stand on
an equal footing with the Oxford Cam
bridge combination, which recently de-
fcatcd Cornell at the cross-country
game. But the New Haven officials
realize that to cqualizc Anerica's 8
chances with those of England 1T Will
be necessary to combine forces, as
have the two great British institutions.
on this theory the move is being made
by Yale to have Harvard combine its
athletes with those of the Bulldog and
endeavor to wrcst the laurels of track
and field honors from the Britons.
This appears to be very feasible
and worthy plan and II Will be good
news to learn that Harvard Is in agree
mcnt with the idea and is willing to
join Yale in conquest of tho British
Isle. An effort was made u year ago
to have such representative team
sent TO England. hut the idea was not
seriously entertained. Now. however,
IL is realized that IL is the logical way
to face the British combination.
