Jimmy May Meet Scranton Boxer
in Milwaukee Ring—Ritchie
and Murphy Train.
By \V. \V. Nhu^IiIkii.
S AN FRANCISCO. CAU, Dec. 3
Some fights have no aftermath.
The dabby-Logan affair Is of
that order. For one thing, dabby was
fif' much the master of the situation
at all times that there Are no pegs on
which to hang arguments as to how
different It might have been if such
and such a mistake had not 4>een
made.
There were no mistakes The men
battled “true to form, and Logan
did Just about as well as the betting
predicted he would.
Clabby goes Fast in a da\ or two
by way of Los Angeles He has been
offered" a match with George < hip at
Milwaukee, and the chances an
will accept.
It was (’hip who knocked out Frank
Klaus a short t1m< since if Flabby
meets and vanquishes (’hip the vic
tory will go a long way toward es
tablishing Flabby's right to call him
self middleweight champion
Logan will have to begin again i
little lower down the ladder. Like
flallor Petroskey. he was a trifle ‘too
ambitious for a new man. It might
not be a bad idea, for that matter,
to send Logan and Petroskey togeth
er. They are game fellows and are
so equal In the matter of class that
a soldier-sailor bout seems to prom
ise well.

the favorite at odds of 10 to S Thf
commissioners seem to think that the
price against Murphy will lengthen to
10 to 7.
It remains to he seen, however,
whether public opinion will continue
in the same groove when the date of
the match draws nearer. The train
ing of Ritchie and Murphy will he
watched closely by hordes of sports
and the work done at the rival ramps
may be viewed in such a way as to
cause a change of sentiment among
betting men.
At the start there is every reason
for believing that the change in tlie
weight scale lias been looked upon as
a big factor in Ritchie’s favor and
has resulted in the champion being
installed a proaounced first choice.
J OE RIVERS has fought his way
back to popularity at Los Angeles
and already there is well-defined agi
tation for another Rivers; Ritchie

Jim Jeffries has joined the ranks of
those who are clamoring for a return

KW YORK. Dec. 3 Nearly 500
pounds of bone and brawn will
clash In the Madison Square
Garden ring to-night when Carl Mor
ris and Jess Willard put up their
gloved hands for n ten-round bout
Willard said to-day thaf he would
weigh about 230 pounds, whM< Morris
admitted that he might ftp the beam
at These men are the biggest
white heavy weights in the world and
also the tallcjst. Willard stands 6
feet (> inches in his stockings and
Morris is only two Inches shorter.
Each was born in 1KS6 and their ring
experience is limited. Willard began
fighting two years ago. while Morris’
first scrap for money occurred in
1910.
In spite of the fact that Willard has
accomplished more in ring contests,
Morris is a 10 to 8 favorite, probably
because he put up such a hard fight
with Gunboat Smith in the Garden
early in October. Morris is wonder
fully strong and game. He was a
greenhorn when Jim Flynn hammer
ed him for ten rounds here two years
ago. but he has kept on improving
until he begins to look like a real
heavyweight He has changed his
style completed Ilia blows are de
livered straight from the shoulder
with tremendous power, and he re
lies upon hooks and uppercuts instead
of the ineffective overhand swings
which he employed when he tackled
Flynn.
Willard probably knows more about
boxing than the Oklahoma giant and
can hit. too. Hut Just what he can
accomplish when Morris puts him
under a heavy fire remains to he seen.
Willard is so tall that few of his
opponents have been able to reach
his jaw. lie,moves about with sur
prising agility and has a good left
hand.
The State Athletic Fnmmission at
yesterday’s meeting raised Willard's
suspension, while William Joh was
agreed upon as the referee.
Otis Crandall Will *
Quit Game for Good
NEW YORK Dec 3 On the best
of authority it Is learned that Otis
Crandall, the noted emergency crew,
will not be a member of the Giants
or any other baseball aggregation
next season The authority is none
other than “Old Doc" himself. He
can afford to quit, and he intends to
quietly efface himself from the big
show He does not relish the idea
of being shipped to the St. LotHs Far- !
dinals or am minor league team.
Crandall left New York with his
wife and baby immediately after re
ceiving his world’s series check and
is now at home for the winter on his
hr (Tad Indiana acres He may never
return to New York as an active ex
ponent of the national pastime. When
he departed he honestly believed he
was saying a long farewell to the
other players. But he may change
his mind.
Crandall’s sudden release to the St
Louis club last season renewed his
determination to quit. Only those
whose whole major league experience
has been with a winning team real
ize the sinking sensation that ac
companies a transfer to a tail-ender.
M cOraw retailed Crandall two
weeks after this deal was made, as
the Cardinals did not particularly
need him and the (Hants felt that he
was entitled to another slash at a
world's series melon.
But even If he is not traded it is
doubtful whether he will rejoin the
Giants. Tf he feels that he can not
be of much help to them he will stay
j away.

Sidelights on Sports
By A. H. C. MITCHELL
C "* ONNIE MACK is out with
ihe alibi for not putting
f»inch hitters in place of
Lapp and Plank In the second
game of the World's Series,
which Matty won after a ten-
inning fight. Connie breaks an
iron-clad rule to give his excuses
in an article In The Saturday
Evening Post.
claiming that "Big Six" has an
advantage over a batter on his
first trip to the plate, but that
the charm wears off in subse
quent visits, Mack found that
l>app struck out the first time
he faced Matty, hit sharply to
Doyle the second time, and hit
safely the third. Therefore he
counted on him for. further im
provement on the fourth trip
As for Plank, Connie declared
that Eddie hit the ball harder
than an> other player on the team
during the game, having made one
safety and being robbed of a hit
by Fletcher on another try.
Therefore he decided to let Plank
linger In the contest But the
breaks went the other way, re
sulting in criticism for the man
ager and a late defense of his
actions

THE following is taken from
1 the editorial column of the
Johnston (Pa.) Democrat, under
the caption. "Finds His Place.”
"Congress needs able men; the
United States Senate needs able
men; the State Legislature needs
able men. But when John Kinley
Tener Is sized up one side and
down the other the verdict Is:
‘Rack to the diamond.’
"This Is not to say that base
ball does not open up a great
career. True. President Taft be
came a college professor, not
withstanding the fact that he
might have become an umpire.
Roosevelt is lecturing and run
ning all of the world outside the
boundary of the United States.
Doubtless he could have secured
the presidency of the American
League had he gone after it. But
there is no accounting for tastes.
If Taft and Roosevelt choose to
pick out lirtle careers for them
selves they must bear the brunt.
John Kinley Tener Is more as
piring. He proposes to step from
the Governor’s chair to a baseball
presidency. It isfc.on and up for
him. »
"It is peculiar, though- John
Kinley has been a pitcher and a
Governor. Everybody admits he
was a good pitcher. Tn the end.
as Kingsley says. every man
‘goes after his own place.’ Base
ball has relentlessU' claimed John
Kinley Tener for its own.”
T HE above is meant to be bit
ing sarcasm. The trouble
with many editrlaol writers, how
ever, is that they are verv small-
minded and do not realize that, to
be president of the National
League is to hold an important
office that no man need be
ashamed of; that more people are
interested in baseball than in
politics.
There are many thinking men
who. if they had the ability
would rather be president of a
major baseball league than be
Governor of a graft-ridden State,
such as Pennsylvania is.

LeConte Elected
Captain of B. H. S.
Louis TjeConte, who was elected man
ager of this year's varsity football team,
and had to resign almost at the start,
due to an Injury received at a prac
tice. was elected captain o? the 1914
Boys’ High School football team.
LeConte was given a hard run for
the captaincy by Fraser On the first
ballot, fifteen votes were cast and
Fraser and LeConte tied with seven
each, the other going to Schoen. On
the next ballot this one vote went to
LeConte.
By U. B. Keeler.
A ND now it is beginning to
look as if "Red" Smith, the
Atlanta youth who plays
third base for the Brooklyn Dodgers,
will have another Georgia boy for a
side-kick—the same being Claude
Derrick, quite a shortstopper. though
remembered as a second baseman at
the University of Georgia some sea
sons ago.
There is quite a little story that
may be told of the wanderings of
Claude, and we are now going to
tell it.
T'LAUDE played football as well as
baseball at the State University.
Some people fancied he played It bet
ter. but that Is problematical. Any
way. he was a very good guard and
one of the best punters Georgia ever
had.
But football. In America at least,
comes to its norma! finish when a
man leaves college, and if Claude
hadn’t also been a corking infielder
ihe would in all probability be teach
ing school down about Clayton. Qa.,
where he was engaged in that pas
time when Tommy Stouch rescued
him and took him to play ball in the
South Carolina League.
Claude played ball with Tommy’s
team. which was the Greenville
bunch, and Claude played ball well
enough to attract the attention, by
proxy, of Mr. Cornelius Mack, gover
nor general of the Athletics.
RONNIE MACK drafted Derrick and
^ played him at shortstop
while Barry was out of the game. In
fact, Connie carried him along for ;
the best part of two years, and then,
with the brilliant Barry In good or-*|
der again Claude was dealt out to Bal, 1
timore.
• * *
CLAUDE put up a wnnrtprful ,ram<,
with the Orioles last year, anil
Frank Chance, then reorganizing tha
hapless Yanks, took a fancy to him
and grabbed him.
This was not altogether lucky fo»
Claude, even looking over -the fact
that he became a Yank. He pulled a
bone at the wrong time—a time when
the Peerless Leader was in the most
fractious and Irritable frame of mind
It is possible for a P. L, to be In.
And the P. L. let him go back to
Baltimore.
, * •
OK it said tn Claude's credit that
his two mischances in the big
show- did not break his heart. Ha
went right back to work with tile
Orioles, putting up a beautiful game
tn the field, and peppering the pill
with excessive virility, so that Wil
bert Robinson, then trainer-in-chief
for the Giants, took a couple of slants
at him and was much pleased.
* * *
AND now Mr. Robinson being y
manager on his own hook, is
said to be seeking Derrick by wav of
raising the general average of in-
fielding on the Dodgers—a job, by the
way, eminently fitted for a person of ?
Claude’s surname.
This may be Claud 's Rig Chance— 1
who knows?
