ERAzEE IS BACK
ASRUPPERT'S
PARTNER
Yankee Colonel Wants Former
Boston Magnate as
Associate.
BY w. S. FARNsWORTH,

NEW YORK, July Hilary H.
Frazee, who recently sold the Bos-
ton Red Sox franchise to a syndi-
cate of Columbus, Ohio, men will
reappear in the American League
as an active owner by buying an
interest in the Yanks.
This story. not yet officially an
nounCed by either Frazee or Col.
Jacob Rupert, president of the New
York club, which owns the biggest
baseball plant in America, comes
from persons who are constantly in
the formers confidence and must be
regarded as accurate.
{ Frazee and Rupert are both de-
voted personal friends and business
associates. Rupert capital has
been placed in a number of Frazee's
many theatrical enterprises.
The present deal will turn all or
nearly all of the holdings in the
Yanks that Colonel Rupert re-
Gently bought from Col. T. l.. Hus-
ton, his former partner, over to
Frazee.
The story is that he urged his
II " SSIL IAC O0SIc4t
club and buy an interest in the
Yanks and relieve him of some of
the executive worries. Frazee was
very glad to become associated
with the biggest money-maker IA
baseball under such favorable aus
pices.
Details of the sale of the Red
Sox franchise are known for the
frs time. The Columbus syndicate
paid Frazee $1,250000 for the
franchise, players and reality,
Fraze was paid $2a0,000 in cash
and will receive 100000 year for
ten years until the entire sum is
paid. He will hold an equity In
the Fenway park estate until the
last payment is made.
The deal for the sale of the Red
Sox pended more than a month and
at one time was nearly blocked
for good. During the negotiations
Frazee asked permission of the
Columbus syndicate to sell Pitcher
Howard Ehmke to the White SoX
for 500, 900, but the purchasers de-
clared theys would call the deal
off IL it was done.
Frazee held up the deal for sew
eral weeks in order to sell Ehmke,
but when he realized that the
syndicate was ohdurate he threw
up his hands and sold the franchise.

Fighters Face Task
OF Hard Training
For Bouts

Business in the ring is becom-
ing so brisk that the boxer will
soon have to give up the de-
lightful practice Of training In
rocking chairs and hammocks at
summer resorts and settle down
TO real hard work.
Gymnasium training for the
motion picture cameras will
soon have to give way to soma
real fighting during training
hours. Playing golf as means
of training for a fight is also
being discouraged.
The only alarming thing
about this situation is that II
the public insists on fighters
settling down to hard training
to get into real condition the
fighters are apt to retaIiate by
demanding more money.

Jennings VIII Extend
Courtesies Of Jail
To Visiting Cops

NEW YORK, July 17.--Ics
Officer Hugh Jennings, New
Rochelle police force, now. Be-
tween games at the Polo
Grounds yesterday a delegation
from tho police department of
the Westchester county city
presented gold police badge to
Hughey and made him a full
member Of the department. The
assistant manager of the Giants
has been spending his summers
in New Rochelle ever since he
came here three years ago.
Those who presented the
badge to Hughey notified him
that he is endowed with all the
joys and privileges of a police
man in any and all departments.
Hughey replied that If any cops
from New Rochelle ever came
to Scranton during the winter
he would see that they got the
free run of the Scranton Jail
and other courtesies.

thirty-five runs against the War

Mickey Mcconnell, Dominican
Lyceum pitcher, makes ten as

Each and every one Of those men

To each inquiry the Atlanta club
officials always tell them:
Moore is not for sale. He must

IT'S there nothing we can do for

reply of Jack Corbett or Otto

Moore Is unqueStionabIy the

Benny Kari and Glenn KillingeP
are two others who have met
with favor.
Karr is twenty-eight years Of age,
which may hold him down, but
there is nothing wrong with his
percentage of victories. Latest
marks placed him at fourteen md
seven, for an average of ,667.
Killinger is still young man,
and has not yet reached the apex
of his greatness. Just out Of col
lege and playing his second year
in professional ball, he has youth
speed and unmistakable courage In
the face of reverses. In addition to
considerable hitting ability to recon-
mend him.
Also his fielding at times is bril-
liant.
What he needs mainly is expert
ence. This year may even see him
polished defensive man.

Brooklyn hurler, and now scout
for your Uncle Wilbert, the other

Moore and Killinger would be
my choices. The former, of course,

two, but killinger has impressed
me forcibly by the manner in
which he comes back after a bad
day In the field. And he can hit.
The distance he gets into his
drives Is sufficient evidence that
he can belt the hall. Add to that
