Jones IN BUSINESS,
Will Still COACH
Tad With Coal Company But
Continues at Yale

New Haven. Aug. 9.-Tad Jones,
head coach of the Yale football
eleven, has been made vice president
and sales manager of the Albert II.
Powell Coal company. He has as
sumed his new duties, but President
Powell of the company said last night
that they will not conflict with his
football coaching.
Jones will be free to devote as
much attention as he desires to Yale
football coaching" said Powell. Tt
is expected that after the close Of the
present season Jones will give his
business attention to his duties in
connection with the Powell company,
but he will always be free to takA
any part in coaching at Yale which

mand. Yale men would not regard
with favor Jones' withdrawal from
the university as a coach and adj
WISER"
Jones yesterday was busily engaged
in landing several important contracts
out of town. 1t is understood that he
has no intention of submitting his
resignation as Yale head coach He
will summon the Eli football squad
about Sept. is, and complete the
coaching plans which he set under
way during the spring practice.
Jones was vice president of the
Ames' Shipbuilding company OF Sc
attic during the World war, and re-
signed that position in 1920 to accept
a call to return to Yale as head coach,
a position which he filled in 1916.
Professor Clarence Mendell, chair
man of the Yale Athletic Association,
said last night that the contract of
Tad Jones has two years more to
run and that he expects Jones to re-
main during that time. Powell said
later that if Yale desires to use Jones
as head coach for the next two sea-
sons, he will assist in every way to
make 1t possible.

st. Louis, Aug. 9.-George Sisler
was voted the most valuable player in
the American League.
Eye trouble has kept Sisler out OF
the game this year. Dutch" Sch
,liebner Is acting as his understudy al
first base for the st. Louis Browns. 1t
is the toughest assignment in base
ball.
Schliebner was grabbed by Foil
from Brooklyn as a last resort. He
was the only first sacker available.
Unable to hit in the National. he had
been relegated to the bench
National League critics rated
Schliebner a fair fielder and not much
better than a 200 hitter in the ma
jors. A fast ball inside was said to be
his weakness.
Manager Fohl took a chance. Inside
of a week he had changed Schlieb-
ner's style at bat and the averages
show that he is hitting close to 800.
Had it not been for the Browns
dire need of a first baseman, Schlieb-
ner would now be back in the minors
despite the fact that he has proved
he is of big league caliber. n
Schliebner had the ability but need
ed much coaching, which he received
under Foil. His showing as Sisters
understudy has won him place with
the Browns even if Sisler should re-
turn to the game.

Cincinnati, Aug. 8. Winning one
ball game day is regarded as a pref
ty fair performance in these days OF
the lively ball. To take down a
double-header is performing the I'M
usual.
Twice this season has the feat been
turned in the National League. John
Stuart, rookie pitcher of the st.
Louis Cardinals, was the first twirler
to win a double-header. He was
closely followed by Arolfo Lusue of
the Cincinnati Reds.
Stuart, who is produce of Ohio
State University, broke into the games
won column with bang. He mere
ly used to finish games, but scarcity
of pitchers caused Manager Hickey to
start him against the Boston Braves.
He won, allowing only three hits
Hickey sent him right back for the
second contest and he repeated.
It's been over six years since a ma
jor league pitcher won two games in
one day. The 'iggers' show that
back in 1917, Bill Doak, pitching for
the st. Louis Cardinals, twice defeat
ed Brooklyn. Miller Higgins was
managing the Cardinals at the time.
He was sorely pressed for pitching
and offered bonus to Doak If he
would turn in two victories. Doak
collected.
Luque's two wins were scored
over Brooklyn. Late in the first game
with his team behind, pinch hitter
was sent In to bat for him. Before
the inning was over the Reds had
scored four runs and went into the
lead. Cincinnati won by that margin,
SO Luque was credited with the VIC
tory. He came back and scored win
in the second contest.

WILL MIX IT
| WITH PAL MORAN TONIGHT
Kid Kaplan and Tommy Noble TO
Mix II Up In the Same
Ring.

New York, Aug. pal Moran, New
Orleans lightweight. yesterday fin
ished training for his scheduled ten
round bout with Jack Bernstein at
the New York Veledrome tonight. The
southerner is determined to prove
that the decision which Bernstein
gained over him at the Common
wealth S. C. last winter was a fiuke.
He appears to be in condition to do 1t.
Moran will outweigh Bernstein slight
ly and the latter's Junior lightweight
title will not be at stake, but that is
not going to keep the Yonkers youth
from going out after the victory. All
his Yonkers friends will be there to
cheer him on, and he has set his heart
on demonstrating that he was not
fighting beyond himself when he won
from the present featherweight cham
pion, Johnny Dundee.
Bernstein will have youth and ag-
gressiveness to match against Moran's
weight, acknowledged speed and clev-
erness.' He will also have the better
punch, If past performances are to
be believed, and he hopes with that
punch to save the officials the task
of handing down a decision. Moran
was reported a slight favorite in the
betting yesterday.
There will be two other promising
bouts on tonight's card. In
the first of these Frankie Jerome will
take on Danny Edwards, the colored
bantamweight, and Tommy Noble and
Kid Kaplan, featherweights, will fur
nish the entertainment in the other.
In the six-rounder Tony Palmer of the
East Side will meet his old rival, Sid
Terris ferris won the last bout be-
tween these two after having been
knocked down three times. There
will also be a four-round curtain rails
