Dempsey and Paddock
Without Defeat
in 1922

The outstanding champion of
the year-who is he? Saragen
at golf, Tilden at tennis, Joie
Ray the runner? No, for all
these have tasted defeat in
1922. Jack Dempsey and
Charley Paddock, premier per-
formers in their specialties,
cannot claim the honor, for
neither of them got into action
against worthy opponents.
hnny Weismuller, the
greatest swimmer of all time,
is the man. The human fish, in
deed, is the most impressive
champion of 1922. He has met

REDS0X-YANkEE
DEALS ABOUT
OVER
Entry Of Chance and Departure
OF Huston Should Stop
Trades.
BY DAVIS j. WALSH.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-That the
coming of Frank Chance as mana.
ger Of the Boston Red Sox and the
almost coincident departure of Col.
T. l.. Huston as half owner of the
Yankees may have an appreciable
effect on the alleged working agree
ment between the two clubs Is in
dicated by the developments Of the
last several days. 1t is barely pos
sible that the last Of those famous,
or Infamous Boston-New York
deals" has been transacted.
AS late as twenty-four hours ago,
Ed Barrow, business manager of
the Yankees, is said to have made
another attempt to send Norman
Mcmillan and asuitable cash token
of his esteem to Boston for Herb
Pennock. the left-hander. Harry
Frazee would have none of 1t. He
is said to have demanded players.
A demand upon the Yankees.
coming from Frazee, is almost
revolutionary. Heretofore, 1t has
been his custom to sell them any
thing they asked for, whether 1t
was the greatest home-run hitter
Of all time or the right to enter his
theater by the stage door. 1t was
all one to Frazee. Yankee money
was keeping him in baseball and
every time the whip was cracked,
he rolled obediently over and played
dead.
At this time, however. he was
playing around with figurehead
managers who might bleat piteously
over the departure of one star after
another but carried the matter no
further. Fank Chance, the two
handed gentleman from California,
is not the type to submit gracefully
to the business of selling a ball
club from under his feet.
The chances are good that when
he signed a contract with Frazee,
provision was written into 1t call.
inS for Chance to do all the trading
and selling around Fenway Park,
Boston.
Unfortunately there is little to
trade or sell in that vicinity now.
Just a franchise, a baseball park
and a few spawned ball players.
The Yankees have picked the oar
cass almost clean.
Nearly all the picking in the
past was done by Colonel Huston,
who could and did out talk Frazee
in every deal that was consummated.
Now, however, Huston has gone
and Chance has arrived. Perhaps
that means a change for the better
in the official relations between the
two clubs.

THINKS MARTY McMANUS

Marty McManus will be the
leading second baseman in the
major leagues at the end Of the
1928 season." says Lee Fohl. "Hit.
ting for .312. he drove in 109 runs,
which is better work than Sisler
did. Sisler, hitting for APO, drove
in los runs. 1t was Marty who was
the dangerous lad in a pinch"
McManus broke in with the
Browns as a thirdsacker but it was
not till he went to second that he
showed in his true light. Now he
is easily the class Of the st. Louis
infield with the possible exception
of Sisler, who is a harder hitter.

This is the first Of series Of

an absence Of eight years. He
has signed to manage the Bos-
ton Red Sox for one year, with
the privilege of continuing on
for two more seasons there
after, if he finds his work of
any use to Harry Frazee.

ring as anchor man on his one-mile

Orange quartet won the intercol-
legiate championship. This Is the
best line to be had on Woodring's s
