'CLARKIN IS HOST
 ID BALL MAGNATES
Eastern LeaguerS Meet Tomorrow
 to Fix Schedule

Hartford, Dec. 19.-The Eastern league magnates will gather here Thursday for the annual meeting fol- lowing the custom of assembling in the city which boasts the contempor- ary pennant winner.
 Meetings of the league arc usually illuminated by one or more battles which find the club owners arrayed in opposing factions and Thursdays meeting promises no exception.
 The dispute this time centers over plan to shorten the league sched- ule. Some of the owners believe the present schedule of 154 games Is too long and that the league should both open later and close earlier than it has the past few seasons.
 President Weissmann of Waterbury, Owner Powell of Worcester and Presl- dent Haylon of Pittsfield are said to favor this shorter schedule scheme.
 Owner J. II. Clarkin ofthe local club is known to favor sticking to the 154- game schedule. He will have the sup port Of Owner Shean of Springfield and it is said, the New Haven club is on their side. Owner George Weiss Of New Haven Is in hospital at Erie. Penn, but his proxy, it is believed. will oppose the plan to abbreviate the schedule.
 It doesn't appear just where Presi- dent Kearney Of Bridgeport and Own CT NJ, J. Hawkins of Albany stand on the proposition.
 Before adopting the 154-game schedule, which matches the major league playing program, the Eastern had played 12o and later 150 games a season.
 There will be the election of officers and there is speculation as to wheth- CT Clark P. Lane, Jr.i will accept re- election as treasurer, ,'s he is no long, sr s'os, connected with i' Bridgeport
 While the magnates are having their pow wow, the lowly baseball scribes off in a stray corner will hold their annual meeting.

To save himself from knock out Chaney struck the Britisher low in the third round and was declared loser on a foul.

TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED, GOOD RULE
Works Out in Both Baseball
 and Football

Take nothing for granted in base ball." The late Harry Pulliam during his term as president of the National League originated that very apt adage. It was inspired by a number of un- usual as well as unexpected happen ings. It has since become a pet phrase of baseball.
 Judging from number of unusual gridiron incidents in the season just closed, the thought coined by Mir. Pull liam holds equally well for football.
 
 Had not the Wisconsin players de cided to do a little officiating on their own hook, Illinois would probably have won the Big Ten title instead ot ending the season in tie with Michi- gan. The touchdown that gave Michi gan it's victory over Wisconsin was made possible because the players of the losing team took something for granted, instead of waiting for the 0. K. Of the presiding official.
 
 The attitude assumed by Wisconsin on certain play gave a substitute Michigan quarterback chance to be- come hero.
 ! Quarterback Rockwell ot Michigan ! in running with the ball was thrown ! to the ground as the result of contact with a Wisconsin player, He rolled several feet regained his feet and once more was on his way to the Wis consin goal line. The stunt of drop ping Rockwell was repeated several time. While Wisconsin Was able to momentarily block his progress, none Of the players succeeded in downing | him. Seeing Rockwell fall to the 1 ground several times. the secondary l defense of the Wisconsin team relaxed, and he managed to cross the Wisconsin goal line. His score was allowed des- pite protests of Wisconsin that ho had been downed, the ball becoming dead. Wisconsin players should have per mitted the officials to do the thinking. II was a serious blunder for them to presume the player had been downed. It cost the game.
 
 This brings up story told by Coach Zuppke of Illinois In speaking to Green, the crack center of his years team, an observer noticed that he ad- dressed Green as referee. It struck him as q curious title and he asked an explanation. Ii sems in a game with Ohio State, Green. about tn tackle a State player near the side lines, decided the player had stepped out of bounds and failed 10 make the tackle, The player continued his run 60 yards further toward tho Illinois goal line before being brought down. When Green gave his explanation to zuppke, the Illinois coach asked him since when he had taken up the job of referee. From that day to this Green has been known as Ref" Needless to say that he never again failed to make a tackle, regardless Of his thoughts as to the status Of the player carrying the ball.

| weight and proceeded to run up an- other astonishing string of knock outs. In later years Chaney scored most of his knockouts with his right hand, although he was essentially a left-handed fighter Chaney found that most of his adversaries paid little attention to his right but were always set to block his left. Ii was then that he changed to slugging with his right and became more ef- fective than ever.
 Chaney has been going backward of late and his inability to stand up in front Of Merchants attack indi- eates that he Is about ready to pass into the shadows along with Willie Jackson, Charley White, Rocky Kansas and other star lightweights who have slipped into semi-ob- scnrity.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR JOB

You had better take care of me.
Perhaps you don't think much
of me, at times; but if you were
to wake up some morning and
realize you did not have me. you
would start that day with an un-
easy feeling.
From me you get food, clothing,
shelter, and such luxuries as you
enjoy.
If you want ME tO-badly
enOugh-PI get you twelve vyl-
inder automobile and home on
the lake front.
But l am exacting, l am a jeal-
GUS mistress. Sometime you ap-
pear hardly to appreciate me at
all. In fact, you make sighting
remarks about me at times, and
neglect me.
Considering the fact that you
need me not only for the material
things of life, but spiritually, as
well, wonder, sometimes, that
you neglect me as you do.
What if / should get away from
you? Your happiness would flee
for a time at least, and your
friends would wonder what sort
of fellow you were; and your wife
would worry. and your bank ac-
count dwindle.
So, after all, I'm pretty impor-
tant to you.

Cherish me. Take care of me,
and I'll take good care Of yOu.-
