Now imagination need not be

will try to achieve at least-and
thus engage the interest Of the
public to reap the greater profit.
Everybody likes a winner. II he
hooves both clubs, obviously, to be
winners or nearly so as possible
Therefore they will buy and buy and

other league clubs or from the minors.
In view Of the money-making pos

or for stars on other teams whose
owners might be tempted to sell.
Because of The Dugan Deal" :"
whereby the Yankees owners
made" their team last summer, and
the "McQuillan' deal. by which the
Giants bolstered a slipping pitching
corps. both New York teams were
aided greatly in winning the re-
spective pennants. In an effort to
prevent these deals. in buys" as
they really are. in the heat of pen
nant fights. a rule was passed the
other day in joint meeting Of the
major leagues. to prevent selling,
buys, exchange of players after June
Is. Certain clubs have shown a
disposition to sell stars, the ruin of

where and to the fierce dissenting
clamor Of fans. They may be

The time may be only a year or a
few years removed in which a most
radical rule. eliminating buying or
selling in the playing season, will
come into being
Inasmuch as New York clubs
stand to make the most money
by far, they may become so rich
as to monopolize pennant fights,
This would at once be a discourage

hall players to do all they person
ally might to attract attention and
possibly be sold or traded to New
York. Just think of what a world

The big parks in New York may
engage the attention of the big

other clubs playing there, but she
point is that the local clubs are
apt to become too rich and strong.
1t may even come to pass that
prices of tickets will have to be
regulated to prevent New York

YEAR MARKED
BY COMEBACKS
IN ALL SPORTS
Hoppe, Russell, Scott, Lynch
and Others Climb Back Into
LimeIight by Performances.
UIHILE the closing year of
" 1922 will be remembered


" 1922 will be remembered
long as a year of upsets
and gobacks, it was also a year of
some comebacks.
Many kings of sport became ex-
kings, and quite a few former
leaders in their line came back to
the top.
COmebacks are always more in
teresting because they are so few
It's easy to drop out of the race.
but it's hard to get back in.
Willie Hoppe. who had reigned
from the time he could reach the
table until late in 1921 as the king
of billiards, came back and his
return to the throne was the most
popular accession of the year.
Hoppe was defeated last year by
Jake Schaeffer and in coming back
as the champion this year he re-
moved all doubts as to his ability
by finishing first in a field of six
of the worlds best players.
Perhaps he isn't as great as he

sure. confident artist of years ago,
but still he is the greatest player
of them all.
SCOTT Returns.
Jack Scott, the big North Carolina
farmer. was the most remarkable
comeback of the baseball year.
Scott was slid out OF the National
League and headed for the scrap
heap on the assumption that he
had a bad arm.
He worked the arm back in con-
dition, got a berth with the New
York Giants, won eight games for
item and was one of the stars OF
the world series.
Reb Russell. the old pitcher for
the Chicago White Sox. was an
other noted comeback. The Rebel
discovered he could bat and catch
flies and he came back as a SEN
sation in the outfield with the
Pittsburgh Pirates.
One could talk of Ty Cobb's
great comeback if he had ever
gone back. Looks like he never
will go back.
O'DOWD DANCES IN.
Mike O'Dowd gave the ring a
notable comeback when ne came
into part ownership of the middle
weight championship by winning
from Dave Rosenberg. The New
York Boxing Commission recog-
nized Rosenberg as the champion
and it now regards the St. Paul
happy and ex-champion as the title
holder.
O'Dowd's comeback may help to
clarity the situation caused by the
suspension of Johnny Wilson.
Wilson, it will be recalled, once
said: II may be a cheese cham
pion and an awful fighter, but
there is one bird that I can lick
and that's O'Dowd." Wilson did it
twice. and he may do it again. II
wouldn't be a surprise to see him
go after O'Dowd.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1s.-Much
An talk of changes in New
Yorks boxing commission when
Governor Smith takes office.
.It is said the jobs now nom
salaried would be placed on a
salary basis. Hundreds of hun
cry politicians want the sal
aries.
H Governor Smith wishes to
see how earnest the politicians
are, let him announce that the
jobs will continue WITHOUT
PAY. There will be an imme-
diate reduction in the number
of applicants.
Baseball fans were once
pleasantly deceived by state
ments Of enormous prices paid
for baseball players. The fans
now know that in nine cases
out of ten these prices are ficti-
tious, "bunk," as the fans call it.
They know that when the
price. of a player is announced
at $4,000, over two-thirds Of
the amount is represented by
the value placed on other play
ers who figure in the deal.
The actual cash involved is COM
paratively small.
These big prices were once
good publicity. Now no one is
fooled except the baseball mag
mates who fool themselves think
ing the fans do not know.
IOHN T. BRUSH and John ].
- McGraw, craftiest publicity
getters ever in the game, created
a sensation fourteen years ago
with the announcement that they
had paid $11, 900 for Rube Mar
guard
They bought" Marquard from
the Indianapolis club. Brush at
that time held an interest in the
Indianapolis club. If he paid
$11, 900 for Marquard he merely
transferred this money from one
pocket to the other.
1t was S11, 900 worth of pub
hcity because it was fairly new,
if not original. Long before
Boston bought Clarkson and Kel-
" for $4,000. The fans of four
teen years ago ' ad forgotten
that incident.
Other magnates, initiative as
monkeys, beoan announcing pur-
chases at big prices. Now no
minor league ball player is sold
for less than $4,000 to hear the
magnates tell it. The fans are
not fooled.
Percy Haughton, once famous
Harvard man, denies that he is
to coach Columbia. He says he
is through with coaching for
good.
Haughton is an intelligent man.
He retired with a reputation as
one of the greatest football
coaches that ever lived.
Haughton knows that it is bet
ter to rest on his reputation, as
long as he don't need the money,
than to return to the game and
perhaps register failure.
New successes would gain
nothing for him. Failure would
destroy his old reputation. Men
would quickly forget his former
triumphs and eagerly gable
that he never had any ability

Il Human nature delights in

In the world of sport. if a man
