Drc S—Nearly 500 pounds of bona and brawn will 'lash in the Madison Square Garden ring to night when Carl Mor ris ami Jess Willard put up their gloved hands for a ten-round bout. Willard .said to-day that he would weigh about 230 pounds, while Morris admitted that he might tip the beam at 236. These men arc the biggest white heavyweights in the world and also the tallest. Willard stands 6 feet 6 inches In his stockings and Morris is only two inches shorter. Each was born In 1.886 and their ring experience is limited. Willard began fighting two years ago. while Morris' first scrap for money occurred In 1910. In ftpito 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 Gtmboal Smith in the G&rdBn 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 «go. but he has kept on improving until he begins to look like a real heavyweight He has changed his style completely. His 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. But Just what he can accomplish when Morris puts him under a heavy fire remains to be seen. Willard is so tall that few of his opponents have been able to reach his Jaw. He moves about with sur prising agility and has a good left hand. The State Athletic Commission 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 b»* 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. Louis Car dinals or any 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 broad 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. McOraw recalled Crandall two weeks after this deal was made, aa the Cardinals did not particularly need him and the Giants felt that he was entitled to -.mother slash at a world's series melon. But even if he is not traded it is doubtful whether he will rejoin the Giants If he feels that he can not be of much help to them he will stay away.

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, w'ill 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. • * • f^LAUDE played football as well as baseball at the S'at^ University Some people fancied he played It bet ter, but that is problematical. Any- 'vay. he was a very good guard and one of the best punters Georgia ever had. But football. In America at least, comes to Its normal finish when a man leaves college, and if Claude hadn’t also been a corking infieldor he would in all probability be teach ing school down about Clayton. Ga., 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. U'ONNIE MACK drafted Derrick and ^ played him at shortstop while Barry was out of the game. In fact, t’onnie 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 timore. • * * C'LAUDE put up a wonderful gam? with the Orioles last vear, qp i Frank Chance, then reorganizing th 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 n bone at the wrong time—a. time when the Peerless Leader was in the mne fractious and irritable frame of mind it is possible for a P. L. to be | r , And the P. L. let him go back to Baltimore. • * * RB It said to Claude's credit thv his two mischances in the biz show did not break his heart. He went right back to work with the Orioles, putting up a beautiful gann* in the field, and peppering the nil! with excessive virility, so that Wi'- bert Robinson, then trainer-in-chicf for the Giants, took a Couple of slants at him and was much pleased. * * • \ ND no'ft - Mr. Robinson, being a x * manager on his own hook, is said to be seeking Derrick by way of raising the general average of'ln- fteldtng on the Dodgers—a Job, by the way, eminently fitted for a person of Claude’s surname.

MITCHELL C ONNIE MACK is out with the alibi for not putting pinch 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 Lapp 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 any 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 Klnlev Tenor is sized up one side and down the other the verdict is: ‘Back 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 little careers for them selves they must bear the brunt. John Kinloy Tenor is more as piring. He proposes to step front the Governor’s chair to a baseba" presidency. It is on and up fo: him. "It is peculiar, though John Kinley has been a pitcher and a Governor. Everybody admits he was a good pitcher. In the end. as Kingsley says. every rnan ‘goes after hid own place.’ Base ball has relentfesslv claimed John Kinley Tener for its own.” • * * T 1 HE above is meant to be bit- * ing sarcasm. The trouble with many editriaol writers, how ever, is that they are vpp* small- minded And do not realize that to be president of the National League Is to hold an important office thait 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 vraft-ridden State, such as Pennsylvania is. * * • F PDD1E AINSMITH, the star ■' backstop of the Washington team, has a novel way of keeping in condition during the winter months. He has turned cow puncher and is working on the Nicholas ranch, down in Comfort, in the wilds of Texas. * * • A S the New York baseball re- ^* porters failed to swap Mar- I quard for Tyler, they are now* en gaged in the pleasant pastime of trading the Rube for Nap Ruck er, the crack southpaw of the Brooklyn club.
