Frank Frisch
 ] May Replace John McGraw
New York Times Says Ford s ham Flash Is Being
 Groomed

NEW YORK, Feb. Frank Frisch is being groemed- to succeed John J. McGraw as manager of the New York National Baseball. club, of which he Is second baseman, and probably will take over the reins when McGraw's contract expires in 1926, the New York Times will say tomorrow.%S
 !. The Times learned that Frisch has been appointed captain of the team to succeed Dave Bancroft, shortstop, who was included in astrade with Boston by which he became manager of the Braves. Official notice of Frisch's ap- pointment, 1t added. would be made when spring training begins.
 McGraw will. be 54 years old when the game more than quarter of a cen- tury and will have spent A years pilot ing the Giants.
 Frisch, 'the Fordham Flash," has been the apple of McGraws's eye since he came to the team in 1919 from Ford ham university. Where he was a star all-around athlete, being on the foot ball, basketball and track team in ad- dition to the baseball squad. He has been one of the main cogs of McGraw,s machine since his first day.
 The prospective manager has now played but four seasons, yet his salary has been increased to a sum approXi- mating s1s,OOo which is the highest ever paid a Giant player, though Me- Graw himself is understood to get $60,000 a year, besides his dividends.
 Frisch ran the defense last season while Bancroft was out of the lineup and McGraw said the direction could not have been better. When he retires from active management, McGraw is expected to remain. with the team in an advisory capacity, directing all trades, but to spend more time over business matters

PREP TOURNEY AT
 AUBURN BIG ONE

AUBURN, Ala, Feb. 2-(Special.)- The approaching Cotton States inter- scholastic basketball tournament to be staged in Auburn February 21, g and 23 is being received with much inter- est by the various high schools through out the south. according to announce ment made today by the athletic off cials In charge of the big meet This is the third annual meet of the Cotton states tournament and advance indi- cations point to a bigger tournament than in the past two seasons.
 Entry blanks have already been mailed to a number of high schools In Alabama, Mississippi. Georgia, Florida and Tennessee. Heretofore, teams from Alabama and Georgia have mostly made up the entry lists, but this year other states of the southeast have made their intentions known of sending rep resentative teams to the tournament TOT championship honors. The entry blanks carry with them the require ments for entry. Teams competing must not have a rating above that of regular high school. The eligibility or the competing teams will be gov erned by the State High School asso- ciation rom the states from where they come. Eight players will constitute a team. Entries close on February 15.
 Last season when an inventory of the hlgn schools anticipating entry was so large that the tournament could not be held in the three days time. if was decided to make the basket meet an in vitation affair. In making the invita- tons, those in charge are taking in con sideration the rating of the various teams in the particular section renre- sented. It is thought that about six teen teams make an ideal number for the tournament during its three days, session. To make up the playing bra ok cts It IS necessary to have two. four telgnt, sixteen or thirty-two teams in order that no one team will have to play more teams than any other team In the competition.
 The meets of previous wears have done much for stimulating interest in prep school athletics and widen the scope. of competition. It has also been pointed out that more attention bas been given in standardizing eligibility rules and business way of conductins z, the athletic in the preparatory schools number of athletessnow playing st n 7 roles on collegiate teams have nIaved in the Cotton States tournament.
