Big Boy Brackey of Buffalo in q

himself with an ak during his
training work and the bout was

Harris Again 10 Pilot
Nationals, Signing
One. e.Season Patt
Will Be 10th Year as
Boss Here-Hus Made
EnviobIe Record.
Ry FRANCIS p. STAN.

Stanley Raymond (Bucky) Har-
ris, Washington boy wonder" of
IA years ago, today was signed by
Owner Clark Griffith to manage the
Senators again next year.
The announcement, made today
by the Washington club president,
ended nearly month of specula-
ton and rumor for Griffth's custom,
in remaining managers, has been
to do so the day after the season
ended.
This year Griffith failed to make
any announcement as to Harris
status and the towns rumor-
mongers hoped on the silence to
predict new managerial deal. Har-
ris' salary for 1899 was not disclosed.
The contract was signed for one
year.
Record for Managers Here.
Thus Harris, who in 1924 piloted
the Senators to their first American
League pennant and their only
world championship, will begin his
10th year at the helm of the Wash
ington club. This is a record for
Capital managers. Harris, at n,
also ranks second only to Connie
Mack in point of continuous man
agerial service in the major leagues.
When he leads the Griffimen next
year he will be starting his 18th
consecutive season as a big league
manager.
Bucky made his managerial debut
in 1924. winning both a pennant
and the series from the New York
Giants. He won another pennant
for Washington in 1925, also play
ing second base, and he continued
as the Senatorial pilot through 1923.
In 1929 he managed the Detroit
Tigers. In 1888 he moved to Boston,
taking over the reins of the Red
Sox under the new ownership of
Multimillionaire Tom Yawkey.
When Griffith sold Son-in-law Joe
Cronin to Yawkey for $25O,O0o and
Shortstop Lyn Larry in the fall of
1884 Harris found himself without
job. Griffith promptly brought
back his former manager and Har-
ris spent the 1885, 1886. 1887 and
1888 seasons as pilot here.
Real Feat in 1886.
Next to his two winning
years Bucky's best season as a
Washington manager probably was
the 1896 campaign, when he took
a sixth-place club and brought it
home in fourth place. He missed
second place that year on the final
day. The Detroit Tigers, who ran
second, were less than half a game
ahead of the Senators and the Chi
cago White Sox, who finished third.
were less than percentage point
ahead.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7.-Just who
will play whom in the Rose Bowl in
January is anybody's guess today.
At the moment, the Far West is
having enough trouble trying to
figure out who its own representative
will be without worrying about the
identity of the foe to be invited out

The Pacific Coast Conferences
problem was threshed out to some
extent two days ago when Southern
California slammed California out

feated elevens, but even this decisive
humping failed to definitely settle
the issue.

Unofficial gossip-and that Is all

the worthy opponent to be invited
West, naturally revolves around I'M
beaten Texas Christian, Tennessee
and Duke, or Notre Dame and Dart
mouth. If you want to consider in
stitutions which have intimated
lack of interest in Pasadenas S annual
grid extravaganza.
Pittsburgh, at least for the time
being. bowed out of the picture in
losing to Carnegie Tech Saturday,
and there is strong suspicion that
a mighty sigh of relief drifted out
OF at least two centers of learning
out here at the news. Any outlook
that involved the terrific Pittsburgh
lads must have been anything but
pleasant.
The problem out here simply is
that the season isn't over vet.
Southern California is undefeated
in conference play. but lost non-
conference opener to Alabama. CAL
ifornia sits in the rumble seat, its
sole loss to the Trojans.
Trojans Face High Hurdles.
Southern California has yet to
get over Washington this week
in Seattle. which may prove bigger
job than records for the season
indicate, and then comes U. C..
L. A. in a neighborhood feud that
may cause even more grief to the
Trojans
After that. S. C. entertains Notre
Dame. Technically speaking, loss
to the Irish being another nom
conference setback, would have no
bearing on the Pacific Coast Con-
ference title and the Rose Bowl
selection, but don't be surprised If
the Trojans stepped aside in favor
Of California if this setback were
to occur.
But then California has vet to
meet Oregon, traditionally tough
Stanford, and a final non-confer-
ence game with Georgia Tech.
Defeat in any of these games
puts the situation back where this
started, which is
Just who will play whom in the
Rose Bowl is anybody's guess.
