MAY SWITCH PLAYERS
Manager Huggins Plans To Use Du- gan At Second and Ward At Third, if Collins Deal Falls Through.

New York, Feb. 10.---If the deal which the New York Yankees are try ing to put through for Eddie Collins fails to go through, it was stated in well-informed circles yesterday, Mill Ter Huggins will make an important shift in his infield when the New Or leans spring training begins.
 Aaron Ward will be sent back to third base, where he performed so sensationally part of last season and the season before.
 Joe Dugan will go back to second base When he first broke into base then he moved over to second. He proved himself great second. sacker, for he can go far for a ball, either to his right or left. Later he went to third, and it was as third baseman that Huggins bought him last season, when the left wing of the Yankee infield had to be bolstered.
 There has been a general impress sion that the reason Dugan wasn't put at second when he came here in Aug ust last and Ward shifted to third was that Dugan preferred to play third. That may have been the case then, but it is different now, it is said, so big experiment may be made at New Orleans.
 That is, if the Collins deal doesn't go through. Something may happen in that matter at the American lea que meeting at Philadelphia on Feb. 18th.

George Ward. .Weltcrweight Boxer,
 Accepts a one-Dollar a Year Job.

New York, Feb. 10.-In these days of "commercialixcd sport" 1t is re- freshing sometimes 10 hear of an act that smacks Of big heartedness. hu- mane feeling or generosity by an cx- ponent Of the so-called major pro- fcssional sports.
 The other day. over in Elizabeth, N. J.. a boxer received q cablegram from Major Wilson. England's big boxing promoter of the day, offering him s15.000 to engage in three bouts in London, England. About the same time the boxer was proffered the "job" of boxing instructor to the fire men of the little town in New Jersey. Tho salary for this latter job would be one dollar per year.
 Now to make this a human interest heart throbber the story ought to go right on and say that the boxer, hav- ing noble sense of duty to his na- tive town and it's welfare, turned down the offer of a small fortune and &C., cepted the job as boxing instructor to the firemen.
 And the boxer? Oh, yes, he's George Ward, known to fistic fame as 'Gentleman George" Ward. probably the cleverest of all the welterweight boxers and challenger of the worlds champion, Mickey Walker.

 'I am to get a good sum for my end of the purse" Beckett added. but it won't be anything like So large as Dempsey's; I cant expect it to be, because he is the champion of the world. The only condition made, so far as I am concerned, is that l must beat Dick smith on Feb. 19, and if I light Carpenter I must beat him, too, but it doesn't matter whether l meet or not"

CoLrMBrA BEATS CORNELL

Ithaca. N. r.. Feb. 1o.-Columbia defeated Cornell by one lone tally in fast and exciting game on Beebe Lake yesterday. a shot by David Rogers in the last period giving the New Workers to Q yictors.' The game was the fastest and closest played in Ithaca this season, and it was witnessed by large crowd. in- cluding good many Junior Week guests. In teamwork the two sextets were about evenly matched. Cornell, if anything, had an edge in speed, but the superb defense of Wahlig, Colum- bian goal keeper. was the deciding factor in favor of the Blue and White.
