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.

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 bout.

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. ITENEYCK STAYS AT SYRACUSE.! | SYRACUSE, N Y .

'Shoe, Not the Man,' Says 'Hobey' Baker NEW YORK. Dec 3.—Hobev Ba ker wears a shoe which is patterned after the boot that Charley Brickley, of Harvard, has used for two sea sons.

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. * * • E DDIE AINSMITH. the star backstop of the Washington team, has a novel way of keeping in condition during the winter months.

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? Empire State League Now Georgia League AUBURN, N. Y., Dec. 3.—Chair man John H Farrell, of the national board of arbitration of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, to-day announced the fol lowing changes In minor baseball: Empire State League of Georgia changed to Georgia State League; ap plication of Western Canada League for advancement to Class D nQt al lowed.
