selection of the Salisbury Country
Club at Garden City. Long Island. as
the site for the 1925 national public

major title awards for next season.
Definite dates have not yet been Sc

BATTLES TO DECIDE
LEONARD FOE START

NEW YORK, November 7.-Sammy
Mandell of Rockford, Ill, meets Jack
bernstein of Yonkers, at Madison
Square Garden tonight, in a 12-round
contest, expected to be the first step
in providing an opponent for Light
weight Champion Benny Leonard in
title bout during the indoor season.
The winner of the battle will meet
the victor of a Sid Terris-Luis Vim
centin1 fight arranged for later in
the month. The ultimate victor
among the four contenders will then
be matched with Leonard, who is
said to have promised Tex Rickard to
fight once during the indoor season.
Leonard's agreement with Rickard
stipulates that he be allowed to enter
the ring at catch weights. Although
he would probably exceed the light
weight limit of 135 pounds, his title
would be at stake, according to a re-
cent decision of the State boxing
commission, IL his opponent comes in
under the weight, which any of the
four contenders is easily able to do.

Nick the Greek" headed for Los
Angeles, figuring that would be a
better place to work than San Fran
CISCO But some one in Chicago
tipped off the Los Angeles club and
the gambler was met at the gate and
given an escort-out. Then the word
was passed and he was barred from
the grounds OF every other club in
the circuit
This gambler then journeyed down
to New Orleans. The same thing
happened to him there.
In the past it has been the custom
of betting rings like this one headed
by Nick the Greek" to try to make
friends with ball players and by big
presents" attempt to induce them to
make a days bets certain. That the
gamblers got very far this past sea-
son is doubtful. but they worried
some of the base ball men who have
been fighting them for years.
Gamblers Scotched on Const.
Out in California they are reason
ably sure they scotched the crowd
that went out there and tried TO
work on the players. California has
not had a case involving a player
amounting to much since Smith and
Seaton were given outright releases
by San Francisco because OF gam

them go when other clubs of the
league refused to play against them
There is presumed to be no con-

meet them with it.
But there is no doubt that there
are gambling coteries in Pittsburgh,

Efforts more or less vigorous have

and they do not present the slick. firm
appearance that ducks coat does.
Coots are good eating. The In
dians of Minnesota and Wisconsin
and those of Michigan prefer coots to
ducks. Many hunters also prefer the
toots. They are mostly all leg and
breast. but when these are skinned,
rolled in cracker crumbs and fried,
they taste much better than their
owners looked.
On calm days the coots congregate
in the open water Of the lakes in
great black RATS, moving slowly one
way or the other together. When dis
turbed they swim until virtually
forced to fly, and then they fly indi-
vidually instead of in flocks, making
great fuss about it and pattering
along with their feet for several yards
before definitely taking to the air.

Few persons who saw the throb-
bing twelfth inning of the first game
of the World Series at Washington
recall clearly just what happened in
probably the most teeming quarter of
an hour in base ball history. 1t was
the day when Walter Johnson. the
great shrapnel of the American
League, first tasted defeat at the
hands OF National League club after
a glorious struggle. AS is well
known, ii wasn't all the fault of
johnson, for a crack in his support
gave the Giants an opening in the
first half of the twelfth and they
improved it for two runs.
But the Giants were none too sure
when they went on the field to repel
the last attack of the Harris men. A
pinch hitter. Bentley, had batted for
Lndstrom and the New Workers had
to find a new third baseman. Easy.
Frisch was sent there. But how to
fill the shoes of Frisch at second?
McGraw cogitated between Young
and Kelly, and finally chose Kelly.
BY SO doing he won the game.
Big doings in the senatorial half
big. AS stated, the Giants We're
shaky. 1t was shown when Travis
Jackson muffed an easy pop fly tossed
upward by Shirley, who batted for
Johnson IN q sort -O1 1OTlOTn nope
Shirley took two bases on the mis-
play.
McNeely was easy for the Giants,
but Harris shot a single to center
and Shirley scored. The Senators
needed one run to tie and that run
was on first base. 1t was on Harris
shining spikes.
Sam Rice kept up the attack on
Fehf by singing hard to center. To
take the place of Kelly in center
McGraw had sent out Bill South
worth. Harris easily made third on
Rice's hit. but when Rice tried to
stretch his wallop to a two-bagger
he was caught at second on South
worth's good throw.
That released the tension some
what as far as the Giants were con-
cerned. That big "out" was a tre-
mendous asset. AS 1t turned out, If
Rice hadn't tried for second the
Senators would have tied the score
for second tine-and then no man
can say what would have happened.
Rice appeared to blunder, but ac-
cording to all base ball standards he
was right in trying for second. His
was the winning run, and a hit by
won the game.
But Goslin didn't make the hit.
That he didn't the true eye, the great
reach and the wonderful arm of
George Kelly only prevented.
with Harris on third aQd two out
and IS, 900 madly screaming for a sin
gle from the best hitter in the Wash

piece of work. He forced Goslin to
hit at bad ball and topped" drive

1T was wicked blow, however.
Goslin didn't land solidly, but he did
land hard enough to send the ball over

er. And it was slow enough to make
1t certain that for a runner of Cos
Inns speed the play at first would be
mighty close.
They didn't reckon on the length
of Kelly. He came charging in and
speared the ball with one swift stab
of his bare hand. Frisch never could
have reached the ball. with all his
fspeed Young never could have
reached it. 1t required a Kelly.
That wasn't all. Diving headlong
toward the pitchers box, Kelly snap

his arm. 1t was low throw and fast
