Art Fletcher May Manage
Philadelphia Club Next Year

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. b.-Art Fletcher
win probably land the job Of leading the
Phillies in 1928. President Baker is now
in St. Louis to meet Fletcher and dis
cuss the management with the shortstop.
Baker had gone to Louisville for the
minor leagues pow WOW to talk trade
and while he was in Kentucky got word
from Hugo Bezdelz that he Intended to
stay at State for another year at least
and that 1t was practically impossible
for him TO accept the offer to manage
the Phillies.
This sent Baker scurrying to st. Louis
for a conference with Fletcher. The
latter stated last summer when there
was talk afioat that he was to manage
the club in 1923. that he would not take
tho Job unless he had full authority to
trade any player he deemed At and that
he would not stand for any Interference
from any club officials.
Fletcher also intimated at tho same
time that there were many OF the Phil
lies who were ''laying down" on their
Job. II Baker lands Fletcher. there will
probably be wholesale shakeup in the
club.

plot Mr.. Benson Immediately sent to the
local pound and bought a pack OF as
sorted dogs. Even If the unfortunate
baseball slaves do break loose from their
chains the chances are that they will be
tracked TO the banks Of the Ohio by the
terrible Texan and his cruel CANNES.
August Hermann. the Burgomeister
of Cincinnati, is suspected of being IN
the plot of assisting the break. The plot
originated in the minds of some of the
poems who heard that they were about
to be sold up the river to Harry FL.
Frazee, owner of the Boston Red Sox.
The presence of Larry Graves, secretary
of the Sox, who wears a Simon Legree
mustache, lent color to this story. AS
a rule these chattels are we'll treated by
their purchaser, but the stories of the
terrible drudgery imposed upon slaves
sold to Boston have made the poems
shudder at the thought of being dumped
into Boston Common.
The matter of the conflict of'dates in
the meeting of the American League
and the joint meeting of the American
and National leagues is settled to the
entire satisfaction of Judge Lands, the
High Commissioner of Baseball. The
matter remains in statu quo ante, as the
diplomats would say The judge set the
because of announcement by Ban john
son to the effect that the American
League would meet in New York on
December 13. This statement was made
by Johnson in the presence of many club
owners during the world series and the
Judge, being new to the game, took state
ments made during the world series at
their face value. Consequently the date
and place stand, New York. Decem-
Der 13.
Gene McCann, the Bridgeport Beau
Brummel, had solution quite as sim
pie. "As understand it joint meeting
joint" he said. THAT being the case
1 don't see what difference it makes
what joint they meet in.'
Miller Huggins, the demi-tasse man
ager of the Yankees, arrived to-day and
went into close consultation with Cousin
Egbert Barrow, business manager of the
Yanks. Owing to the non-arrival of the
owner OF the Vernon California; Club
the deal for Jake May, the left handed
pitcher, has not yet been closed but it
will be before long.
Duffy Lewis. ex-Yank who Is here
from the Coast, is tearing Off rhapsodies
regarding jake. According to Duffy,
JalSie is the greatest left handed pitcher
that has come up in years. You can
say that I said that this bird would
win twenty-five games for the Yanks.
He has everything and his control Is
great" When Duffy speaks thus enthu-
siastically about a pitcher it should
mean that Jake really has something.
Miller Higgins looks refreshed and
rejuvenated. He has gained weight for
he seems to be at least three ounces
heavier than he did at the fag end of
the late lamented worlds series.
The traders are now leaving for a
local bat factory and several of them

Skis Charges Of Fake
Not to Be Laughed Off
Paris 'Presse' Says Negro's
Statements Have Sincerity.

venomous charges by Battling Sikh
that the white hope championship fight
was to have been a fake, in which Des-
camps and Hellers were to share the
proceeds, IL Sikh himself had not decided
to play square, threaten 20 disrupt the
sport of boxing in France. Officials,
sportsmen and writers are divided into
two camps, but thus far Sikh seems to
have the best of the argument, with
none of the newspapers attempting to
refute the simple story by the black
fighter of how well he played a joke
upon his own manager by giving Georges
Carpenter q real battle, when the
French cinema favorite expected to have
everything in his own hands.
To-night's PreSse rallies to Skis sup
port, declaring that Skis statements
have an accent of sincerity" and
adding new light upon Skis besmirchcd
character with the profession of the col
ored champion that II intend never to
drink again, but to do everything possi-
BILE so that they will give back my license
as boxer"
Certainly disagreeable impression
prevails so far as Carpenter is con-
cerned, owing to the fact that Hellers is
trying merely to laugh off the situation,
with Descamps and Carpenter making
no reply to the charges, while Sikh has
handed a telling blow to his enemies by
reporting an alleged conversation in
which Helers and Descamps talked
about fixing matters with the cinema
people--a peculiar reference, as ii is now
generally known that when Sikis friends
tried to prove that Carpenter deliber-
ately fouled his opponent 1t was discov-
erede that the allegedly discriminating
portions of the film had been cut out.

SMOKER CHAMPION
MAY INVADE LONDON
N. Y. A. C. Plans to Send Shoe
maker Abroad for lnterna-
tional Tourney.
BY THOMAS j. GALLAGHER,

j. Howard Shoemaker, who for eight con-
sective years has won the annual pocket
tournaments of the National Association
of Amateur Billiard Players, is a pros
pective competitor for the amateur
championship Of the world at smoker.
The New York Athletic Club. OF which
he is a member. contemplates sending
him to London to participate in the an
nual smoker tournament, open to all
amateurs to be held In February, under
the auspices OF the English organization
which exercises control over billiard
events in Great Britain.
Robert Weld. chairman of the billiard
committee of the New York Athletic
Club. is conducting arrangements for the
proposed trip to London. Entries will
close January 20 and there is ample
time in which to have the officials of
the Billiard Association to pass upon the
eligibility of Shoemaker to the smoker
amateur standing and his qualifications
as an expert at smoker will be mailed
before the holidays.
If the Billiards Association answers
that his entry will be accepted he will
make a voyage across the Atlantic In
time to become familiar with the Eng
lish tables, which are slightly different
from the 6xl2. six pocket tables on
which smoker is played in New York
and other American cities. Smoker,
an essentially English game. is the
most difficult and tactical of all styles
of billiards.
Shoemaker, a native of New Jersey, is
resident of Brooklyn. He is A years
old and Is in business. His ability at
the regulation pocket game is attested
by his titles and trophies. What he
can do at the complex game Of smoker
has been demonstrated in tilts with
amateur and professional billiardists
He is classed as marvellous executant
and resourceful strategist. Enthusi-
asts who have seen English smoker
experts perform express belief that
Shoemaker is capable of giving the best
of them keen competition.

BOXING OFFICIALS
HIT AT ROWDYISM
Attacks on Referees or Judges
toBe Followed by Suspen-
sion Of Clubs.
by CHARLES r. MATHIsoN.

There appears TO be a systematic at
tempt to drive several of our leading
boxing officials out OF the profession.
The attack on Charles Miles at the
Harlem-Fairm Club last Monday
night, following closely on the mys-
terious assault committed on Artie Nc
Govern in the Broadway Exhibition AS
ISOLATION. Brooklyn. leads to the beiiet
that these riotous outbreaks We're pre-
arranged. McGovern resigned as ref
cree shortly after being hit on the back
of the neck and on the jaw by an un-
known assaIlant, and kicked in the ribs
presumably by the same miscreant.
Judge Miles has not as yet resigned.
With view of making boxing safe for
judges and referees in future the
State Athletic Commission yesterday
took action in the direction OF drastic
punishment for offenders. The commits
son adopted this resolution;
I'm future when an official judge or
referee is assaulted or attacked at
licensed club the license of that club
will be suspended forthwith. and the
such attack Will have their licenses re-
voked."
The commission also announced that
Sammy Nable. whose supporters are
charged with having provoked the dis
turbance at the Harlem Fairmont Club,
has been suspended pending an investi-
CATION of the affair.
The commission also took cognizance
of the increasing number of foul blows
landed in bouts In this vicinity, and
passed a rule providing that any boxer
disqualified for fouling an opponent
shall automatically forfeit all claims
for compensation.
The commission also notifies all clubs
not to arrange boxing or wrestling con-
tests for December 25.
George Schwinger, manager OF Dave
Rosenberg, was given a week In which
to prove that he did not issue a state
ment to the effect that Rosenberg was
suffering from fractured hand previous
to his bout with O'Dowd, and was forced
into the match by the commission.
Schwinger will have to submit proof
that he did not make the assertion, or
else retract.
Tex Rickard appears to have landed
Luis Angel F'irpo for bout I'm the
Garden. Rickard cabled Firpo at
Buenos Aires asking If he would be
willing to meet Floyd Johnson or Bill
Brennan in the Garden In January.
Ridkard received a 4ablegram from
Firpo yesterday, in which the heavy
hitting Argentinian said: "Am willing
to fight. Will be there soon.'
Tom McArdle, matchmaker of the
Harlem-Fairmont Club declares that
both judges of the Nable- -Ryckoff dis
pute were not attacked. Only one OF
the judges was assaulted, and the other
one escaped uninjured. The fortunate
Judge is entitled to congratulation for
his escape.

The event was instituted by the

it was voted to hand the meet back
