Neither Ty Cobb or Iris speaker Are Named as Members of

New York, Dec. ' Eight cen list of the New York Giants made known today, and incidentally, neither Ty Cobb nor Iris Speaker, both of whom have been mentioned frequently as prospective McGraw> men are on the roster. Th. 40 play CTS are all the rules allow.
 The Giants have waived on Cobb and Speaker, Manager McGraw said, because he doubts their value as drawing cards or added strength to his club.
 Speaker still belongs 10 Washing ton and Cobb 10 the Athletics but 1t is understood that their respective clubs are not in a position 10 pay them the fancy salaries they seek.
 Outstanding among recruits in the Giants fold is Frank O'Doul. an outfielder who was the most Valu- able player in the Pacific Coats League last season. O'Doul was with the Yankees few years ago as pitcher. The Giants got o'Doul out of the draft from San Francisco He had batting average of .37S.

7ASSI PROVES TO
 BE REAL FIGHTER
Italian ProieSsOr-B0Xer Showed
 Good Stuff Against GitlitZ

Nando Tassi. the Italian university graduate and professor by profession who abandoned his books of learn ing for the moro lucrative business of prize fighting certainly demon- strated last Friday night at the Stanley arena that he is as adept with his fists as he is with book lore when for three hectic rounds, he outpunched and out-slugged Murray Gitlitz. former Yale amateur star and leading Hebrew contender for the light heavyweight title.
 Tassi was an unknown quantity to followers of the ring despite his three victories within the short space Of Q little more than three months. He had, it is true, scored three decisive knockouts in his first three American battles but there were many who were doubtful that his opponent gave him a real test.
 No more severe trial could have been given the cultured Italian than a bout with Gitlitz who, though any thing but spectacular in his engage ments, had failed to lose a decision for many moon against any and all opposition. Tassi stood toe to toe with the Hebrew and outpunched him three to one. The sudden ter imitation of the bout by the referee because of alleged use Of the rabbit punch" by Gitlitz, made the outcome of the bout an uncertain factor. but in those whirlwind rounds. Tassi proved himself real match for Git ltz or for any other light heavy weight battler, for that matter.

Possessed Of an appearance that would belle his chosen profession, Tassi resembles more the cultured student which in reality he is in private life. His actions in the ring stamped him as gentleman in bat tie as well as one among his circle of acquaintanccs. No more apt term could describe him more than that one fact. Several times he drew down the applause Of the spectators by his fair fighting and his sports manship.
 And fight. Tassi is one Of those straight punciers whose every lunge is dangerous. He shoots rights and lefts out to the body and head with the speed of a striking cobra. lie is a sharpshooters of the first rank and his punches take effect as Gitlitz' condition in thci titst round can prove. He probably is not ripe yet 10 ascend 10 any fistic throne but with few more battles, he will be well acquainted with the American ring style and then he should Dc Il dangerous opponent for anyone.
 TaSsi carries sock in either hand and he is like a eat on his feet. Ike moves fast for a big man and he hits like ton Of brick. Guesses on the outcome of the battle with Gitlitz are as varied as the day is long but Tassi had as much chance of win ming against his more experienced opponent as Gitlitz did. according to the way the bout was going.
 1t was q great fight and one that will long be remembered.

HARVARD 10 PLAY
 MICHIGAN AGAIN
Series Which Started in 1881 to
 Be Resumed in 1929

Cambridge Mass, Dee. ' CT-A football series which started in 1881 and ended in 1914 will be resumed in 929 when Harvard and Michigan renew a rivalry that has thus far seen the lads from Ann Arbor thwarted in four attempts to carry off q Crimson scalp.
 Announcement that a home and home agreement had been signed between, Harvard and the Western Conference university was made by William J. Bingham, director of athletics here.
 The pact marked the successful elimination of negotiations of more than years standing. It definitely precluded any possibility that shat tered relations with Princeton might be patched before l?"l and forecast the probability that Pennsylvania would not be on either the 1929 or 1880 Harvard schedule. Harvard is permitted to play but Sin%l '-smc away from home each scasCH l. The first. Michigan game hc played at Ann Arbor on Nov, .er z, 1929; the seconl' at inc H&y,Jrd stadium, November S, 193h.
 The former game will be the first 1 time Harvard has ever met a Big 1 Ten Conference team on the latter's 1 field, and it will be the second largest trip ever made by a Grim son eleven. The longest on record was when Harvard played the Uni
 versity of Oregon on New Years s
 day. 1920. at Pasadena. Calf. Harvard has never been scored on
 in it's four clashes with Michigan.
 The 1881 game saw the Crimson
 victor by lone touchdown. In 1883
 Harvard came out on top, 2 10 Q, in 1895, 10 0 and in 1914. to Q. All
 of the games were played in the yl-
 cinity of Cambridge and Boston.

St. Louis Mo, Dec. : (Ps-Georgc Sislcr of the St. Louis Browns not only staged a comeback by winning the sc-pilf"ring honors in the l American league in 1927. but he also | gained tho rather questionable dis | 1inction of achieving the lead with the lowest total in the history Of i tn" circuit

Oddly enough, the | old minimum mark was held by two Chicago players. though established | seven years apart.
 | That Sislcr, relieved of mana gerial worries put on a regular return as q sack -snatcher is revealed by | the fact he only stole 2S bases in the 1925-26 cam naigns put together about l to the chase.
 While Sisl"r never has been rated with Cobb. Collins Milan and others as the pilferer. still George has won the league title more times than any with the exception of Ty and : Eddie and he is tied with the latter. Cobb topped the pack on six occa- sions and Sisler and Collins four times (Sisler showed the way in 1 1918. also), Milan. the old Wash ington star. Jed the rest twice as also has Johnny Mostil. Elmer Flick. of the old Cleveland Maps, was q two-time leader. too. Cobb holds the American league ! high mark with 9G steals in 1915. 1 Siser compiled his best record in i 1922 when he grabbed 51 bases. Collins S1 in 1910 was his premier effort.
 The leagues high marks in base stealing all came during the 19o9- 1915 period. In 1909 Cobb challied up the unprecedented circuit record of 76. Then came Collins in 1910 with S1: Cobb. in 1911 with SS: Milan. 1912 with SS and 1913 with "A: Fritz Maisel Of the Yankees in 1914 with 4 and Cobb in 1915 with the top mark of all-9G.

 The New Britain quintet. rcor- ganizcd following meeting last Saturday night, apparently was not sufficiently groomed in its team work while the Wallingford crew. taking new lease of life in the league, showed speed and flashy work that made the locals step out fast and handsome.
 Kid" Duggan and Tony Welch, orstwhile policeman, teamed up nicely together and it appears as if the Wallingford team has at last come into its own. Time after time the two forwards slipped past New lSrtain's defense and smcaring al most every New Britain drive for their goal, scored plenty of points to win.
 Pierce and Alexander worked nicely for the local club. Alexander shot in four of New Britain's five goals with Pierce getting the other one. Hardy was big factor in the Wallingford teams offensive.
