PLAYERS EXPECT
 TO BE REINSTATEp
American League Will Try to
 Keep Cobb and Speaker

Chicago, Jan. 27.-(P>-What uni- forms Ty Cobb and Iris Speaker will don this season in the event they are cleared of charges of playing in fixed game and return to the dia- mond, continued today as a prime subject of baseball gossip as a deci- sion in the case approached.
 It was considered likely that rul- ing by baseball Commissioner Landis would be forthcoming today, or pos sibly tomorrow, and while there was no intimation as to what the decision would be, friends of the two former managers were confident that they would be returned to good standing in organized baseball.
 Charges of Hubert Dutch" Leo- nard, former Detroit pitcher, that the two had knowledge of a bet ting coup on fixed game between Cleveland and Detroit in 1919. were made public by the commission some months after Cobb and Speaker had resigned managerial positions. Pub- lication of the testimony in the case drew fire from President Ban John- son of the American league and ul- timately led to his being shelved as acting president of the junior cir cult.
 Johnson. at Excelsior Springs, Mo-, on sick leave, suffered an at tack of neuritis last night at the home of his friend, John Ehmke, with whom he is staying. His con- dition was reported to be unfavor- able although not dangerous.
 In the event that Cobb and Speak, CT are restored to baseball it was considered likely that the American league would make every effort to keep the star players.
 The Tribune prints a report that at the meeting of American league magnates here last Sunday it was the consensus that the two should be returned to the clubs with which they formerely were associated. At least four clubs in the American league were reported to want either Cobb or Speaker, and 1t was inti- mated they would not have waived them except for word that was sent out by league directors at the time 1t was decided to ask resignations of the playing managers.
 The Tribune also prints a report from Detroit intimating that the new season might find Cobb in a New York Giants uniform, playing for one of his keenest enemies. John McGraw.
 Just before Cobb left for his home in Georgia, Detroit reporter made the remark wouldn't 1t be funny If you and John McGraw were on the same team next summer?"
 Stranger things than that have happened," Cobb was quoted as re- plying with a smile and wink of his eye.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

 I started out practically broke to go from New York to San Francis co to fight Jim Carroll, the man who invented the pivot punch. l wanted to gain revenge for Jack Dempsey, who was beaten by La Blanche, protege of Carrol's.
 Friends help me along the way. The day I landed in Frisco it was foggy. The first thing I found walk ing along the streets was a playing card-a ten of hearts.
 I was strangely pursued by cards never failed before big fight to find playing card, generally q heart"
 I was the freak of the town with my fashions in San Francisco. l was sure putting on the dog. l had q long cape with a velvet collar and cuffs and wore it thrown back over my shoulders. I wore a high hat and although it I was walking on the sidewalk I had my shoes contin- ually shining like a looking glass. My fashions were new.
 Dick Roche, well-known New York gambler, arrived in town. There was plenty of talk about the fight. Carroll was very popular with the coast fans and they were backing him heavily, showing their confidence. Roche met an addl- tional s5,000 side bet asked by Car rolls packers. l had been drinking bit with my Irish friends and was about IS pounds over weight. Roche raised hell when he saw me and insisted on my going into heavy training right away.
 Went over to Jack Dempsey's camp. He was training for a bout with Australian Jack Mccarthy. l was very much impressed with the pivot punch because l realized it's potentialities and expected Cafroli would use it whenever possible.
 made the biggest mistake of my career at this time-that of under estimating an opponent. l figured Carroll was yellow. He had the courage of a bulldog.
 But we sure got a dirty deal from the club authorities. They refused to let Dempsey act as my second and would not let my friends from the east into their exclusive club house for the match.
 "You and your burglars cannot come out here and run this club, William Vice, then presiding chair man of the club said to me in refus- ing me my assistants and insisting on picking his own referee. l Then Dick Roche calmly took command of the situation. He was a regular guy and a great sport.

The National Guards went down to defeat again last night in Bristol, keeping up its peculiar penchant of losing games on out floors. For the first half. the New Britain team kept neck and neck with Bris- tol and appeared to have slight edge though they were behind when the half ended, 22 to IS.
 The Guards in the second half went off color in shooting. Open ings were mades for Sucker" shots that would have given the locals a big margin of victory had the shots been made.

It is a peculiar thing about bas- ketball but it seems that each player takes turn in having a big night This was the case with "Jiggs" Donoghue the Bristol center.

Last night he simply went wild and popped in baskets from every angle of the floor Especially in the first half when he caged five double counters, was his work the life saver" for Bristol. With Restelli covering him as closely as was pos sible, Donoghue hooped them right and left and the Bristol man showed more than ever last night that he is the peer of all centers in ConnectI- cut basketball.

During the game. the fans natur- ally, were hot headed. It is human nature when things go wrong to pick On anyone and everyone, but in re- trospection, it is a difficult thing to hold anything against team like the Bristol Endees who acted in such a white" manner with respect to the benefit to be staged in this city for Tim Cronin.

One who deserves a great amount of praise from the Bristol fans for his work is Marchinek. The husky guard of the Endees played one of his best games last night and was a source of. trouble for the lTew Britain players at all times.
