the full length of the usual three-year

that no action Is possible on her status
the ban imposed last April after the
former tennis champion toured the
country with Suzanne Lenglen and the

This Is how Miss Browne set forth
her case recently In the Cleveland

They said was ineligible and it's
UP to them to make me eligible. I
have never been a professional in golf.
and no matter what they said ! have
never considered myself as a golf pro-

president and chairman last year Of
the committee that ruled Miss Browne
out Of amateur competition. is this:
I'VE cannot consider the status OF
Miss Browne or Of any other ineligible

the roll OF ineligible players. asking
whether they wish TO be considered

case. and do not know that 1t would.
II could not be considered without an
application from her. We have no con-
troversy with Miss Browne. We have
had no word from her since our action

Jennings SCARED to Stardom
From Coal Fields at Scranton

Leaving the Orioles in 1898 to join
the BROOKLYN Supcrbas In the National
League. Jennings switched from short
stop to first base. The team won
pennants In 1899 and 1900. He then
ioined the Philadelphia Nationals. but
a failing arm turned his attention to
the managerial side Of the game. and
he finally returned to the Orioles,
p;loting the team which at that time
was In the Eastern League.
Failing to purchase Jennings In 1906,
the Detroit Tigers drafted him the fol-
lowing year and immediately installed
him as managcr-a position he filled
for IA years.
Winner at Start.
Jennings electrified the base ball
world by accomplishing the feat of
winning the American League flag in
his first season as pilot. He followed
with pennants in 1908 and 1909, al
though IN each Of the world series the
Tigers suffered defeat at the hands
of the National League entry. Twice
the Chicago Cubs turned back the
Tigers and In 1909 Pittsburgh turned
the trick.
In only four remaining seasons did
Jennings teams fail to finish in the
first division. His teams were twice
in second place. twice in third and
three times III fourth.
Jennings resigned as manager OF the
Tigers at the close of the 1920 season
to become McGraw's first lieutenant
He was a factor in the success OF the
team in 1921, 1922. 1923 and 1924. In
1925 he was in charge of the club dur
ing the long period in which Mctiraw
was confined to his home with illness.

territory in 1903 by abandoning
L. the American League Club III
Baltimore, where the National
League shock troops had scored VIC
tory and moving In upon New YORK.
One morning the fans in New York
woke up and read across the top OF the
sports pages the news that the American
League would have club In New York
City. located at Broadway and one
Hundred and SiXty-eighth street
THAT gives us a laugh. SAID the Ma
tional League men when they read the
announcement why it's all rocks up
there and it isn't big enough for ball
field anyhow
1t was all rocks but 1t proved to be
a larger ball field than 1t seemed to
be in the natural state. Frank Farrell
had the money to get behind the new
American League Club and Joe Gordon,
who knew a lot about real estate on
Manhattan Island. was the man who
dug up the chance to get these parcels
of real estate by rental. Gordon was
close to Tammany Hall and that helped,
although no one could have been mucn M
closer to Tammany than Farrell. VINO
vas a relative of Police Commissioner
Devery.
Workmen soon began to blast away
the rocks of the new field. which after
ward was known as the ground OF the
H,ghlandcrs Hundreds of people went
to One Hundred and Sixty-eighth street
to see what 1t all looked like and most
OF them agreed that the American
League would have hard time making
headway in that neighborhood. Inc
new subway, which was just then start
ing operation, had station near the
field that was more than 100 feet un-
derground and could only be reached
by elevator. 1t was an awful trip up
and down in that elevator in Midsum-
mer especially when there were as many
as 1000 fans coming to see game.
But Ban Johnson had broken into
New York. That was the principal
thing. He had brought out real live
American League team for New YORK
and had put 1t on Manhattan lslano
and although there were some base ball
men who had to settle the bills with
wrv faces. the American League was out
of Baltimore. The Maryland metropolis
had not been enthusiastic enough TO suit
American League hackers.
The American League men said john
son had made good and praised him ac-
cordingly The National League men
snickered and insisted that johnson had
orly led his associates into trouble be-
cause the New York club was never apt
to be a success where 1t was located. II
was pointed out that the ground was
only leased and could not be retained
forever.

In truth. the games of the new club
were not very profitable on that ground
dug out of the rock cliffs. There was
only one year on the field during which
the invaders had anything like "fair

New York club became discouraged.
Gordon's connection with the Organiza-

ayers as there were seasons and none OF
them was successful.
Even johnson got the blues over the
troubles that had bcset the New York
team after the first year Of its organi-
cation. He never had any notion of
abandoning New York. but he did say
that he wished some one could read the

might bring forth so far as 1t had any,
thing to do with New York.
