WRESTLING TOPAY
 CLIFF RINKLEY IS FOR AN EDUCATION
Ohio Grappler Meets New England Farmer Here on
 Monday

Cliff Binkley, the Columbus. O. heavyweight wrestler, who meets Farmer Bailey here in a finish wrest ling match, has been fast climbing to the championship class of wrest- lers, and believes that before many more months elapse he will be given chance to meet Stan Zbyszko or Lewis for the higher honors of the game.
 Binkley, who has recently left the amateur ranks to enter the profess sional class, is by no means a new conner to the mat game. Binkley has held the amateur heavyweight cham pionship of the country for the past four years, and it was a choice be- tween entering the professional rank $ in order to finish his college course or leave his schooling entirely, and enter the commercial world Binkley chose the former and is working hard at his training and his school work
 Among the most important profess sional bouts in which Binkley has participated are his matches with Kotsonoras. the Greek heavyweight Martinson, the big Dane; kosloff who claims the Russian title, and Kel- logg, the Michigan bearcat. In all of these bouts Binkley won easily in straight falls. and 1t was after his win over Kellogg that critics Tn the game began to take notice of the young Ohio state grappler.
 Propably the most important vic- tory that Binkley has been able to chalk up to his credit is the win over Waldek Zbyszko. Zbyszko was matched with Binkley In a handicap bout, Zbyszko agreeing to throw Binkley twice in 90 minutes. It is said zbyszko' not only failed to se- cure a single fall on his younger and less experienced opponent, but not once was the Pole able to get behind his man.
 Starting at the bottom and work ing up seems to be the plan of Blink ley. He has met with success with all of the lesser lights that he has encountered, and he is now taking on all corners, regardless of their rating.

Former Auburn Star in Best Shape of Year and Club berS Win Game
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

Norman Mandy, Coach Ervin's star guard, was in form last night. and the Baylor university Bears were una able to defeat the Clubbers in their re- turn basketball game last night. al- though they did threaten to do so in the nrst half With Mandy leading the offense, the Clubbers staged d come-back in the second half that wiped out the small lead the Bears were enjoying from the first period
 Mandy, whose accuracy in shoot ing caused much astonishment last night, scored 23 of the clubbers' 33 points, enough to win the game by himself. In the first half he scored every point the Clubbers made, and the first six in the second half. Mandy, although playing a guard, is an all-around man who must be watched at all times.
 sepsational Shots
 Several long distance shots by Mandy featured the contest last night. Shortly after the opening whistle had blown, this star guard took the ball in midcourt and plunked the big pill through the loops as cleanly as if the ball had peep sights on it. Thus started, the Clubbers rang up three field goals to the
 
 utes of play. Baylor rallied and tied the score a moment laters and the first half was fought out goal for goal, the score being 15 to 13 in favor of the Bears when the gun was fired at the close of the half.
 Coach Eryins men presented a re- juvenated attack in the second half, and started in for the victory. Point after point was added until the Club bers were we'll in the lead. Up until that time Mandy had done all the scoring, and it was beginning to look like a one-man affair entirely. Gillie Chisholm. however, looped one through ana Dryan got loose for four field goals before the final gun had been fired. These three men con stituted the offensive strength of the Clubbers last night, with Mandy lead ing the point scorers of course.
 Game Is Ragged
 The game was really a ragged one, neither team displaying much pass work. Guarding was too close, as the

LACK OF AMBITION SAID TO BE FAULT
 OF JIM 0'C0NNELL

St. Louis, Mo, January A. Especially Reports on the ability of Jimmy O'Connell, purchased by the Giants from the San Francisco club for $75.- GOO still are being received at the of flee of the local club. Jack Knight, former major league lnfielder, is one of those who sing the praises of shs youngster. and Jack Doyle, one time manager of the Giants. Is another. Knight says he is the best natural ball player he ever saw, and adds that another year in the Pacific coast league will fit him for fast company while Doyle harks back to a predic- tion he made last summer, which was to the effect that O'Connell some day would bring lot of money"
 There are, on the other hand, some who insist that the Giants were tstunga when they paid such a stag gering sum for the player. but even these critics are forced to admit that OConnell can hit the ball.
 "O'Connells chief fault as see it. says one coast manager. lis lack of ambition, but surely the tremendous price the Giants paid for him should stimulate him. Furthermore, he won't do anything when he reports to Me- Graw, for the Giant manager won't stand for that on his club"

OLD TIMER HID BALL
 AND FORGOT WHERE

When Eagle Eye" Jake Beckley was playing first base for the cin- cinnati Reds, he often pulled funny stunts during the games, and fans got so they looked for them.
 One game he decided to work the hidden ball trick on runner, who had reached the base. Instead of concealing the sphere under his arm, in the usual fashion, he quietly tucked 1t under one corner of the sack while the opponent wasn't looking.
 This runner seeing Jake stretch himself and not observing the ball. took a slight lead off first. Beckly sank to his knees to get the ball, and the runner. noticing he was trapped, hot-footed 1t for second base.
 Jake had forgotten under which corner he had concealed the ball and fumbled around desperately while the slid safely Into second. It took the crowd a long time to forget that incident

THREE CORNERED DEAL BALKED BY
 FRAZEE'S DEMAND
Proposed Trade Would Send Peckinpaugh to the
 Washington Club

New York, January LA hitch in the proposed three -cornered trade of baseball players involving the Wash ington, Boston and Philadelphia teams of the American league, by which Roger Peckinpaugh. former come manager of the Senators, de- veloped today at conference be- tween Clark Griffith, owner of the Nationals and Harry Frazee, head of the Red Sox.
 Griffith came to New York espe- cially to talk over the deal with Frazee and returned to Washing ton without any definite understanding having been reached.
 Frazee stated after the conference that there was nothing he could say other than that the proposition had not gone through. and that 1t re- mained for Griffith to make the next move.
 It was understood that both club owners had been in communication with Connie Mack, who is in Texas, and that word had been awaited from him before the transaction could be consummated.
 The trade was said to include sending Joe Dugan to the Red Sox and Joe Judge and Outfielder Bing Miller to the Athletics. Other play CTS also were reported to be in- volved.
 Later Mir Frazee said that MT Griffith advised him that he could obtain Dugan from the Philadelphia club and trade him to Boston for Peckinpaugh. The Boston magnate declared that he wanted additional players and that MT. Griffiths re- fusal to make the trade other than nn aven terrns caused the hitch

 POINTS TO WIN ALONE.

 The defensive work of Kelly and Hill featured for the Bears.
 Laughlinhouse was the same old reliable guard last night, while Stapleton passed well. but bungled on his shooting.

Doyle Promise. Big Things

Doyle Promises Big Things
 Larry Doyle, Giant, and now boss of the Nashville Vols, is promising the Dell habitues big things for the coming season. Larry allows that he will have no old. broken down ball players on hts club. If things go his way he will send team of colt in quest of the Southern league gonfalon the coming season.
 Doyle has established a pretty good goal at that. Nashville has always had a trend toward the ancients. They kept Hub perdue there as a pitcher long after Hub had outlived his usefulness. Gab- by Streit monke- glanned his way through several seasons with the Vols. Floyd Kroh was kept around for vars and vars. If Doyle can gather into the fold the right kind of youngsters he should pep things up in Nashville. Still, by living up to his vows, Manager Larry will be unable to get into the fray at any time this summer, for Larry belongs to the oeto -what-you may -call-'ems of baseball himself.

 West Likes New Train
 bumped into Billy West, Baronial secretary, down the street Wednesday and Billy told me he was tickled to death with two things for the 1922 season. The things that cause joy in Billy's heart have to do with railroads. In the first place. war tax has been lifted off railroad fares, and this will allow ball clubs to travel more economically the coming campaign In the sec- ond place, the Pan-American," a new fast train, has been put on by the Louisville and Nashville out of Nashville. This will make 1t possible for ball club to play in Nashville one afternoon" said Billy. and hop to New Orleans flor a game the next day"
 
 Dobbs Veteran at New Orleans
 Johnny Dobbs was reelected manager of the New Orleans Pelicans at meeting of the club directors held in that city the early part of the week. Johnny has been holding the reins for the Crescent City crew since 1914, and from point of service is the next oldest manager in the league. Moley is first, having been in charge here since 1909. and Dobbs comes second. ,
 Moley and Johnny have seen many managers come and go. Passing in review they have seen the Moriartys, the Starks, the McCloskeys. the Lewis's, the Don lins, the Films and many others enter and exit at Memphis. @
 The Lords, the Bronkies, the Colemans. the Schmidts, the Films and others have been hired and fired at Mobile since Moley and Johnny have been in the harness in Birmingham and New Orleans.
 Up Nashville way. Bill Schwartz, Roy Ellam, Chick Knaupp and others have wielded the baton since Johnny

and Carlton have been on the job.
 In Atlanta Charlie Frank, Bob Higgins. Otto Jordan, Billy Smith, Dick Kaufman, Bill Rari- den and sundry others have served while and dropped out of view.
 It's been the same in Little Rock and in Chattanooga.
 Managers may come and man agers may go, but 1t looks like the chubby chieftain and hand clapping Johnny will go on for ever.
 Tony and the Pirates
 Fact that Tony Brottem will be Moleys first -string catcher dur ing the 1922 season recalls the fight Pittsburg put up for this brawny son of swat, and what short time he lasted in the Pirate ranks once the Pittsburglars got hold of him.
 Two seasons ago Kid Elberfeld sold Brottem and Bing Miller to the Washington Senators and aft CT the bill of sale had been made, Nht iAtdr aS llG ic dAW dJ iiADt6 tO do on moments notice, changed his mind and sold Brottem and Miller to Pittsburg. That started bitter fight for the two men, and they were finally awarded to the Senators, with the Pirate management believing it had been robbed of two star ball players.
 Last year Brottem hopped away to good start with the Wash ingtons, but later ran into slump, and when the Senators re- leased him he was grabbed off by the Pirates. Just the man they had been looking for, so thought George Gibson. But, later on George concluded Brottem was not of National league calihre, so when he got Johnny Gooch from Birmingham, and John Bev- erly made good with a rush, Gib- son turned Brottem over to Bir- mingham as part payment for Gooch. He's an ideal minor leagne catcher and will be a bull wark of strength to the Barons the coming campaign.
