NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The mem

one of their number to be

the organization, IL a report in
circulation yesterday is true.
According to this report, efforts
are being made to have John K.

was elected president Of the Nation

Heydler, the present head Of the

He played professional baseball
in his younger days, starting his

a member Of the Chicago National

TARGET FOR
SPORTS
Has Less Trouble in Ring Than
on Gridiron or
Diamond.

Jock Malone, the st. Paul middle
weight, is a decidedly clever boxer,
but he has nattened nose. Satir-
lists have asked him how, if he is
SO expert in defense, he came to
have his nose broken. Malone treat
ed these inquiries with dignified
silence for some tirne,l but finally
explained the matter to Ed Smith,
of Chicago.
The boxer said his olfactory or
gan received it's first break at a
time when he started out as a foot
ball player. Malone declares that
he had the ball and that he planned
a long run, but was intercepted. Ac-
cording to his recollection, five
shoes of various sizes collided with
his nose, upon which he decided to
retire from the gridiron game.
Later on he took to baseball and
essayed to catch behind the bat
without a mask. A foul tip on the
bridge of his nose convinced him
that baseball was not his forte. He
has more success in lodging swings
and hooks than In keeping his nose
out of the way of football shoes and
foul tips.
Malone, however. does not worry
so much about his nose as he does
about his brittle hands. They break
nearly every time he hits an OPP
pOnent.

Team Falls Apart.

A FTER that great race in 1921
~ Pittsburgh naturally expected
wonderful things last year.
Forgotten were the tales of wild
doings by the players, with parties
and everything all down the line.
1t was believed that the team would
get somewhere right from the jump
in 1922.
But the Pirates were done, so far
as Gibson was concerned, in 1922.
No matter what he sought, he could
not get it. The team apparently
had decided that he wasn't the
broke to turn the trick, and, find
ing the game getting much too
rough, Gibson resigned in mid
season, going home for rest. Bill
McKechnie, veteran infielder and
his assistant, took over the reins.
McKechnie's success is we'll
known to the followers of major
league baseball. He whipped the
Pirates into shape, made some OF
the loafers work, and got another
job for 1923. Undoubtedly
George Gibson is among those
who wish him we'll, McKechnie
being an Oldtimer worthy of q
trial as a major league manager.

''Jocko" coqcn, One OF Best
Shortstops Of Last COL
lege Season.
ROCHESTER m

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Jan. g.
"Jocko" Conlon, captain and star
shortstop of the Harvard varsity
nine, is likely to sign with Rochester
for the coming season in the Inter
national league.
Conlon and Gagnon of the Holy
Cross team were generally regard
ed as the best two college short
stops Of the season some OF the
critics leaning toward Gagnon and
others to Conlon.
At the close of the varsity base
ball season, Business Manager Wal
ter E. Hapgood had a talk with
ConlOn at Harvard in regard to join
ing the Rochester club: but at that
time the college star was undecided
as to what he would do, and had
not fully made up his mind whether
he would go into professional base
ball. He played semi-pro baseball all
during the summer, and is under
stood to now be in receptive MOOD
to take fling at the professional
game.
Conlon, whose home is at Wo-
burn, Mass, is just about the same
size at Gagnon. has fully as good
an arm and covers worlds of ter
ritory. And like Gagnon he is no
mean man with the stick.
Gagnon, it will be recalled, played
shortstop with Rochester the. latter
part of last season on some sort of
loan proposition from Detroit. The
Holy Cross boy was more than
pleased with his treatment here and
is understood to have told Conlon
that he would make no mistake In
selecting Rochester, regardless OF
any other offers he may have.

Fills Long Felt Want.

TN filling this, place of coach
for young pitchers and catch
ers, President Griffith has
made the wisest move since he
bought Chick Gandil from Mon
treal back in 1912 and made. his
ball club a contender.
= For many weeks we have pound
ed out words of advice to the
boss of the Griffs. He had no
necessity of following one jot OF
title of it. But he did act as
though he did when he signed
Mooney Gibson. Therefore, we
feel much better over the situa-
ton.
AS Washingtonian, by adop-
ton, we hope the Griffmen of 1928
will be a huge improvement over
those of 1922. Well have to
watch them at Tampa for five OF
six weeks, informing all you folks
of their every act and thought
every day. Though you may not
know it, this is bit of a task.
The chances of the Griffs fol-
1923 have been appreciably inn
proved by the addition of Mooney
Gibson. He will fill a Job left
vacant by Jack Ryan several
seasons back. No major league
ball club can get along without a
veteran catcher to handle it's pit
cheers. The Griffs have tried II
and failed. Now they are show
ing good sense in getting Gibson
He should be worth every nickel

George Gibson, born in London,
Ontario, July ~, 1880, broke into
professional baseball as a catcher
with the Kingston club in the long
deceased Hudson River League. His
batting average of 1922 in thirty
two games sent him to Buffalo, in
the old Eastern League, now known
as theI International League, that
season.
In 1904 Gibson was with Mont
real, and in 1905 Montreal sold him
to the Pittsburgh Pirates, with
whom he remained as catcher
until 1915. He was known every
where as a horse for work. In 1909,
for instance, he caught 14O games,
the next year $50 and in 1910 143
games. He seemed immune to
injury.
Gibson was released to the New
York Giants in 1916 and stayed
with them through 1917, acting as
coach of McGraw's pitchers. He
went back to the minors for while,
but was signed as manager of the
Pittsburgh Pirates for the season
of 1921.
The tale of the rush of the
Pirates in 1922 is a bit aged now,
but it had the pennant-winning
Giants worried not a little. Finally
came that never-to-be-forgotten
series at the Polo Grounds, when
the Giants cleaned up, defeating the
Pirates in every game of the series
and effectually putting them out Of
the race.
