that we are willing to submit to Mr..
Gandhi's orders. The congress is a.
much ours as our opponents, and we
will return with greater majority to
sweep away those who stand for this
resolution"
With these words, Pundit Nehru
and Deshbandhu Das left the hall
taking with them ffty-five Swarajists.
One hundred and ten persons re-
NAMED; when the resolution was put
to vote, it was carried by 81 for and
81 against, with six abstentions. This
apparent victory of the Gandhists is
merely apparent; had the Swarajists
remained in the hall, the resolution
would have been defeated by about
twenty votes.
AS a result of this vote, Mr.. Gan
dhi recognized defeat After hurried
consultation with his followers, he
agreed to drop his resolution on COM
pulsory spinning and the five-fold boy
colts, making it only advisory in ma
ture, and with these and other con-
cessions, the Swarajists were per-
suaded to rejoin the session. Thus,
the defeat of orthodox Gandhism is
complete and final; the Swarajists
have won the day and Mr.. Gandhi, as
leader of the Indian National strug-
gle, has sung his swan-song.

HOWARD CAGE MEN TO GET OFF TODAY
Coach Cope Will Send Bull. dog Five Through
 First Workout

Coach Cope has issued the call In the East Lake kennel and the Bull dogs of Howard college will report Monday afternoon at the Central "Y" gmy Tor the first basket practice of the year.
 The announcement which the popu- lar little mentor made after attend Ing the Southern Intercollc giate Attn letlc association meet this fall has served as severe blow to Bulldog hopes, as the Freshmen ruling bar ring flrst-year men from athletics Will take a goodly number from the would probably have made the var sity ranks. Among them was Yancey sem, strongly counted on for one of the forwards, since he cut such a figure in his prep school days The majority of the material that would nave reported for bask etball would have been freshmen.
 This leaves the field entirely open to upper classmen. of whom there are few that will be IS valuable as some of the Freshmen might have been. Ham" Stevens IS expected to nave 1t easy with one of the for wards, although he has never made his letter in basketball at the local school.
 hc puiS lclLcT Hld0 InHC lS ilKelY to report this year Is Toby Stubbs Of the squad of 1922. and a center de luxe. Toby should be the nu- cleus around which Coach Cope will build his team, as Toby was an all- slater In his prepping days and has since developed after a year under Howard colors and a year with the Birmingham Athletic Clubbers.
 Dan Gaylord the other letter man in the fold, will not possibly report to basketball as injuries sustained during the past football campaign would hamper his work.
 This leaves the field open to what few upper classmen will report Among them Is Polly Scokel, who did so well in cleats on the gridiron during the season past Spike Wells another footballer. Is expected to show something in courtlng way as are others who will show up for the team.
 Practices will be held at the "Y' every afternoon from Monday on. but games will not be played until after the mid-term exams next week.

Eleventh Spasm.
 "WhyIDidn't Do
 It," by Luis Firpo.

BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 6.-After the next Dempsey -Firpo fight it will be Jack who will spout alibis. and not Luis Angel. That this is his devout opinion, Firpo has taken little pains to conceal in an interview here.
 Some persons say that I am not confident that my return fight with Dempsey will have a different out come," Firpo declared. They are all besides. they don't know what they are talking about.
 T will enter the ring with ter times as much confidence as I did the day of the first fight" he con- tinued. T was in poor shape then. excellent condition, and the fight will have a different ending"
 Firpo's sassy Sabbath def was the eleventh in a series of little flap pings of the red rag. which Dempsey and the Argentine slugger have been indulging each other across 5000 miles of cable wire. Luis ire was reused to an unaccustomed pitch this time, however. because of Jacks re- cent declaration that he was more than half asleep when he delivered the nighty-night pat on Firpo's stub- born chin. Since Luis entered the au tomobile business he has acquired poise and has begun to curb his nat urally quick temper, heritage of his Castilian lineage. But to be knocked into dreamland by a drowsy, hail. conscious hobo of an American, thai was too much.
 Dempsey's claim was that he had been partly anaesthetized by lucky punch from the South American, and that he was punching out of sheer in- stinct when he subdred Firpo. More- over, Jack intimated he was so grog- gy that he couldn't possibly have pulled any of the slicker strategy charged against him, such as hitting Firpo before he rose to his feet, ol swatting him while Luis was taking a peek at the referee. At least, no' conscious, Jack insisted.
 "Ridiculous" said Firpo. T wal watching him, and had him spotted even during the knockout. He didn't take half the punishment I took, ano his statement that he fought instinc' lively is a mere pretet, an alibi tt prove that he forgot the rules ane didn't go to the corner when l wa: down.
 Before the fight was convince' | it wouldn't last more, than tw' rounds. because I intended to put al my force into my first blows. Well you saw what happened. Next tim' | I will be on the alert, and things VII | end differently"

GEORGE BURNS IS
 HOLDING UP DEAL
Triangular Trade Would Send Burns To Indians,
 Wamby To Sox

BOSTON, Jan. 6.-George Burns, hard-hitting first baseman of the Boston Red Sox last year, is holding up three-cornered trade including players on the Boston. Cleveland and Detroit clubs, it has been learned here. s.5
 Burns. wanted by Iris Speaker to plug a big hole at first base in the Cleveland lineup and until recently sought by the St. Louis Browns, was all set to go to the Indians when the deal suddenly grew ice. cold, Now it is learned that burns spilled the beans himself by intimating that, should he be made the principal in any big trade, he would demand some of any money exchanged, or an in- crease in salary. That put the deal on the shelf, and unless Iris Speak CT whispers sweet music to Burns real soon it will probably stay shelved.
 In exchange for Burns. Boston was to get Second Basenan Wambsganss from Cleveland, who was to be turned over to Detroit for Veach, perhaps Fothergill. and some other Detroit player. Veach, it is believed, will come to Boston even though the Burns-Wambsganss deal fails.

The main distinguishing difference between the Grand All-American in- field that I have selected and that of others is that l have put Napoleon Laioie at second base Instead of Ed die Collins. Also I have put Bobby Wallace at shortstop.
 have not done that without good reason. I would be willing to bet on my infield just as 1t stands-Sisler. Laioie, Wallace and Jimmy Collins. with Eddie Collins as the extra man.
 I fail to see, how any baseball man who has kept in touch with the game could name any man over George Ssler at first base.
 George Sisler. In many ways, is one of the most remarkable ball players that ever lived. Incidentally. he Is one of the very few college boys who stepped In to take rank with the greatest the game ever produced-the immortals. as fancy writers call them. You will notice that the college men are very, very scarce on the teams selected by vari- ous authorities on the game. I never have quite understood why a college man shouldn't be as great a ball player as the man who got his school ing on the town lot. Probably the answer Is the same as that to the
 
 more than black sheep?" the answer being, "Because there are more of them.'
 Most college men are advised by their friends not to go into profess sional baseball That probably ex- plains why they are in such minority, l They can do better at something else that they have been training and studying for.
 Sisler is not only a great first | baseman, but he is just as good a pitcher. A good hitter like him can 1 not be wasted as pitcher, though | a pitcher Is out of the batting or natural hitter. He walked up to the | plate with as much confidence the l first time I ever saw him as he has l done since. He can hit any kind of pitching and does 1t so naturally that he really makes batting look 1 can hit into any field. Outfielders never know where to play for him. | SiSIer a Great Team Worker. ! Ssler Is not an individual star, but l Il great team worker He has studied 1 baseball from every angle and likes to play the game just for the sport If it. He is very fast on the bases 1 and, on top of that, knows when to start It's pretty hard for a pitcher o outguess Sisler.
 l But as a first baseman Slsler is ! particularly good in fielding bunted l balls His great arm helps a lot | Then he is bird on taking low l throws to first. There are many l first basemen who are wonderful al 1 getting them over their heads, but | the boys who are sure shots in pick | ing them out of the dirt are very l rare.
 Sisler is a real gentleman. always | having consideration for his team mates as well as his opponents. That makes him easy to handle. He always keeps his head. Sisler Is easy on umpires. l expect him to make g wonderful manager He Is natural | leader.
 l have considered the other great ! ones--Jiggs Donohue. Fred Penney | Tommy Tucker. George Kelley and | all of them, but my choice must SC
 to Sisler.
 Napoleon Lajoie is my pick for second base without moments hesi- tation. I'd rather have him on my club tlan any man I ever saw. There was Fever such a hard and graceful

M'GRAW TO- MEET RMERHIRELINGS

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Next season John McGraw will do battle with teams managed by five of his own Giant graduates in the National league.
 With Dave Bancroft piloting the Braves. Art Fletcher the Phillies, Wilbedt Robinson the Dodgers, Bill McKetchnie the Pirates and Pat Mo- ran the Reds, McGraw's team ap- pears to have become the West Point for the field marshals of the older circuit.
 An interesting battle will be that between two former Giant short stops, Bancroft at Boston and Fletcher at Philadelphia, to dodge the tailend stigma. Both are faced by hard jobs. Pat Moran is not ex- actly a Giant grad, as his connec- tion with McGraw lasted only a few weeks and was only paper affilia- tion. before he signed with the Reds.
 In the minors at least a score of former giants are bossing teams. in cluding Charley Herzog at Newark, George Wiltse at Buffalo and Jack Dunn, who was with McGraw a short time, at Baltimore. Others have had their chance at piloting like George Rreunahan, Frank Bowerman, Bill Dahlen, Fred Penney, Joe McGinnity, Christy Mathewson and Moose Mo COrmack,
