For Little Rogers Hornsby

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 27.-An amusing
story is told of the race this year in
the National league. Rogers Horns
by, the St. Louis star, was anxious
to get into the 400 class and the st.
Louis writer's travelling with the team
in Chicago were just as anxious to
have their favorite make the mark.
Before the last game in Chicago.
one of the St. Louis writers approach
ed the official scorekeeper and in a
roundabout way refreshed his mem
DRY on the rule that the batter SHOULD
be favored in case of doubt, that Rog-
ers was a nice boy and that he wanted
to bat 400, etc.
The official scorer admitted that
Hornsby was entitled to considera-
ton
The first time up Rogers knocked
the third baseman over with a drive.
The second time he smashed liner
to center, and the third time up he
doubled, whereupon the official scor-
er remarked to the st. Louis scribe
"Who in the - told you that bird
needed any help?"

M'GRAW MAY BECOME
GIANTS PRESIDENT;
STONEHAM TO RESIGN
nv United Press)

NEW YORK. Dec. 27.-The coming
year in baseball may, see the passing
from active managerial work of one of
the games greatest figures-John ].
McGraw.
Reports that could not be confirmed
were current in eastern baseball cir
cles today that the man who piloted
the Giants to eight pennants and three
world championships is about to be-
come their president upon resignation
of Charles A. Stoneham.
Stoneham, chief stakeholder Of the
New York Nationals. has decided to
quit as active head of the club in the
near future. it is said, and McGraw is
slated to step into his shoes.
Such a move would mean that Nc
Graw would cast about for a successor
TO run the team and devote his time
TO business. Although the willy little
Giant manager has made dozen team
pilots during his leadership and has
sent ment to other teams who have
taken the reins and often beaten him
out in tight races, the immediate sue
cessor to the Napoleon" of baseball at
the head of the Giants is not apparent
Would Manage in 1923
Undoubtedly McGraw will carry
through the coming season. 1t would
be an almost hopeless task to start
the worlds champions off in the 1928
pennant race with any one else at
the helm That will give McGraw a
season in which to choose and develop
his successor.
so far as know there is nothing to
the story that | am to succeed Stone
ham as president" McGraw said to-
day. The story certainly didn't orig
mate with me-
Rumors that wouldn't be downed,
however, persisted that Stoneham, who
with Judge McQuade, bought the
Giants in 1919 for million dollars, is
going to follow the example of Col
little Huston and get out of New York
baseball
McQuade and McGraw have an option
on Stoneharn's stock. which will expire
in 1924, and it is believed the present
president will be out of Giant affairs
by that time. New York would feel
most severely the loss of John Nc
Graw from bench and playing field
In twenty seasons since 1902 the
Giants have been first eight times,
second eight times, third once, fourth
twice and once in the cellar

day Earlham will get into action
against Hanover in the second home
game Of the season.
Morton Hi athletes worked out in

The All-Stars who play here are a

amateur ball.
Center is hard position to fill for
any basketball team. If a player does
not have good head on him the en-.
tire team can be thrown off because
or the lack of cooperation from the
center position. Ability to counter

brilliant performances in the centers
ring has won for many teams.
For success in basketball an ath-
lete should be able to change his pace
and adapt it to whatever circumstance
might exist in a game. The brainy
player Will have complete command
OF his actions and general exhibition

A team accustomed to shooting and
obtaining the majority of its points al

in the long shot department. A fast
moving machine with a good system
for under-basket shooting will find its
players unable to hit the basket from a
distance of 20 feet from the goal. This
Is an absolute handicap, which a team
should drill on. Complete control OF
the situation will help considerably

A lot of bozos in the dim distant
days preferred being right to being
president of the U. s. A. But times
have changed. Thed'y rather be jock
eys now And not without reason.
The very youthful A. Johnson carmel
beyond $4,000 in The season just
agone. And he got it all in about
seven months during which his real
workday averaged from three to ten
minutes
Just how much Johnson added ID
that total through winning wagers on
his mounts is guess work. But it's
more or less certain that he cashed
in anywhere from 100000 to $150,000
on his little filters.
Johnson was the riding sensation o.
the year, as far as purse earnings are
concerned. He gathered in close to
100000 for the owners of the horses
he piloted. He rode Norwich to Il
$4,000 victory in the Kentucky Der
by; he rode ExtermiHator in practical
ly all of the great geidings's triumphs.
He was aboard Sally's Alley when she
won the Belmont Futurity and one sec-
ton of the Pimlico. He rode Blossom
Time to win the second part of the
| Pimlico.
Johnson got a retainer from his en-
ployers-also a percentage of the
purse winnings. All combined made
the income of the boy greater than
Warren G. Harding receives for an en-
tire year of presidenting in these
United States.
Earl Sande wasn't far behind John
! son in wages received.
Sande did most of the riding for the
/ powerful Rancocas Stable, but rode
/ free lance quite often and picked up
neat sums in that way. Sande's earn
/ ings, plus his winning wagegrs, are
| said to have gone well over the 1925,
/ 900 mark in 1922.
| Clarence Turner received $150,000
| for steering the horses of J. K L. Ross.
! In addition he got a percentage of the
/ money won in stake races. He did
some free lance riding too and perhaps
/ added $4,000 to $7,50G to his bank &C
/ count in that way.
/ A season or so ago Lawrence Lyka
! lived in the most golden of golden
hours for him. That was when he was
jockeying for E. R. Bradley, the turf
man who raced his horses mainly on
/ Kentucy tracks.
/ Lyke received $500 per month and
expenses. Also he was given 10 per
cent of all the moLey Bradley won
betting on the horses which Lyka
/ shooed along over the highways AMI
+ the byways Of the race courses.
4 Estimate LyLe's Pay
+ II was estimated that Lyke was
paid over 100000 in a single season
under this arrangement wiwth Brad
ley How much more he won in wag
ers is something he alone can answer
But the sum perhaps slithered along
above the 100000 mark
Lyke isn't earning such money now
II Success went to hio head. He ha6
some sort of disagreement with Brad
ley. And so out went Lyke to seeE
jobs which have paid him but a pit

Laverne Fator, second string jock
