CLUB CHANGES FEW AS RESULT OF LATE DEALS In Most Cases Major Line-ups Will Be About Same as Last Season. DRAFT OFFER IS MADE NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—Most of the big deals expected at the winter baseball conclaves did not get farther than talk. Unless the magnates get bury between now and March It locks as If most of the major league clubs will start yhe 1922 pennant race with thq same outfits. Only the New York Giants ana St. Louis Browns have done anything big to bolster up for the coming drive. Wise baseball men differ as to whether McGraw strengthened or weakened his club when he sacrificed George Burns to get Heinie Groh. However, it Is agreed tb Browns gained strength with the addition of Dave Danfort h, the star pitcher of Columbus, considering, of course, that Danforth lives up to promise. Doubts as to this were expressed in some quarters where It was said the former Columbus star has a semi-ba.k motion that wIU not get by American Le xhe*ClacSinati Reds with any kind of Inch will not miss the services of Helnle tflroh as much as It might seem. Pat •Moran has been picking them out of the Pacific Coast League aud he may havea better aggregation than he had last seaS °Tbe New York Yanks need new strength more than any club in either league. Huggins is in dire need of a couple of outfielders and a pitcher to keep the club going until Ruth and Meusel serve their time. tj UK u negotiating now for a threecornered deal with the Tigers and the Red Sox and he may be able to put it over before the team goes South The Chicago Cubs need some new blood, but the bosses do not want to dish out Wrigley’s cash for over-valued players. The Pittsburgh Pirates were also expected to get rid of some of the players who were blamed for the collapse of the team last year just as it was steaming into the pennant territory. Dreytuss and Gibson however, wouldn t even talk trades or deals at the recent meetings. Cleveland failed also to bolster up the Indians for another pennant. chase. Jim Dunn, boss of tbe club, said be would rather take chances on the team as it now stands than weaken one position to strengthen another. As usual the two tail-end champions, the Phillies and the athletics, made no effort to get a better team, but both leagues stepped in and opened the way for improvement by passing rules giving them the first say on all players put up for waivers. Baseball’s advisory council late Saturday afternoon completed a proposition that will be submitted to the nondraft minor leagues for returning to the draft system. Judge Landis, baseball s high commissioner, will submit the following proposition to the International League. American Association, Pacific League, Western League and the Three-I League: 1 One plaver of each clafSs AA or clas9 A club shall be eligible to selection or draft after the close of its season each year, the selecting club to pay in cash upon exercising the right the sum of J 5 OUO to AA club, or $4.0u0 to the A club. 2. In the event that any selected player is released by a major league club within one year of its selection, the clubs of tbe AA and A leagues shall have the first right to secure bis services upon paying to the releasing club one-half of the draft price paid by that club. The miner league representatives_ on the advisory council had asked for $7,500 as a price for A A players drafted by the big leagues. Woodstock Golf Changes Improve Playing Links The golf links at the Woodstock Club nine-hole course are being standardized 60 as to increase the length of these to 3.000 yards. 0.000 for eighteen holes being the provision made in the rules of the National Golf Association. With the assistance of Fred Schopp. professional at Woodstock, and Harry Schopp of the South Grove course, the nine-hole course is undergoing quite a few changes. The number of bunkers and traps is being increased, and two tees are being installed at some of the holes. At the meeting of the board of directors held last week, K. H Kerry was elected president of the club to succeed J. J. Daniels. Frank F. Powell was named as the new vice president to succeed Mrs. W. H. Coburn. Kansas Would Prohibit Girls’ Basket-ball Games TOPEKA, Kan.. Dec 19.—Basket-ball, as a sport among girl high school students in Kansas, will soon be taboo, providing the plans of the Kansas Association of Deans of Women are carried out. The association adopted the following resolution at its annual convention held here recently. “Resolved, That whereas lnterscholistic basket-ball injures tbe girl student >oth morally and physically because of •he constant chasing around to different schools in different parts of the eoun:ry to participate in games, the Kansas issoclatoin of Deans of Women does not ipprove of Interscholastic basket-ball for girls, and in the future the various Deans of Women at different schools and universities throughout Kansas will fight all efforts of athletic organizations to hold girls’ basket-ball tournaments In any secI tlon of the State.” “Kansas colleges did away with girls’ basket-ball tournaments two years ago.” Dean Susan B. Guild of Washburn College, Topeka, declared, “because we felt that It harbored no good for the girls Now we want to see the high schools do tbe same thing we have done In the colleges." Women from eighteen different Kansas college* and universities attended the Mbvention. 1924 Olympic Stadium to Be Built Near Paris PARIS, Dec. 19.—The stadinm where the 1924 Olympic games are to be held probably will be built in the Paro Des Princes, Just outside of Paris, between the gate of Auteuil and the Gate Molltor, If tne recommendations of the commission of experts are approved by the city council, which Is to meet for this purpose next week. The commission, which was appointed by the city council to study sites for the Olympiad, suegests a great stadium along the lines of the Antwerp structure, where the 1920 Olympic games were held, but even larger. Tne experts practically have eliminated the Pershing stadium, as in their opinion It will cost as much to make it over as to create anew park necessary for the accommodations of the great crowds expected.

Refusal to Dismiss Old Timers Cost Harry Clark’s Job New Milwaukee Boss Too Kind Hearted to Let Loyal Players Go. A1 T'imme, former president of the Milwaukee American Association club, was one of tbe strong boosters when Milwaukee fans started a .movement lately to _>ave Harry Clark called from retirement to manager the Brewers. Tlrnme thinks Clark a great manager—with a great fault; that Is a fault if baseball success Is to be considered, but a fine virtue otherwise. Harry Clark's fault is that he hasn't the heart to play executioner when a player has reached the ax-swing-ing period. "Clark won the 1913 and 1914 pennants with practically the same line-up. because the players gave everything they _had." says Tirnme. “Then came the 1915 race and things did not go so well. The club management at that time,” says Tirnme, "was accused of not backing up Clark with new material, but such was not the case. ”We hinted to dark that he ought to let a few of his standbys go and take on some new material, but Clark protested. We hired Billy Doyle nevertheless, to scout up some new material. When' it came to making use of it we approached Clark cautiously, Doyle being delegated to argue the matter. Joe Hovlik and Tom Jones were mentioned by Doyle os being through an* Clark got red with rage. *• ‘They give us the best they have, shouted Clark, ‘and when players give you their best, I’m for them.’ “ •Harry, Harry,’ continued Doyle as he ruefully shook his head, ‘if I did not know you so well, I would think you were getting diiiilish. You know you have gone back yourself. As best you are just a good utility inflelder now. You're not going to get anywhere until you get rid of these fellows who give their best, which Isn’t enough, and you ought to start by benching yourself.’ . . “That ended the council. Clark was furious at the suggestion that a player who gave his best shouldn t be allowed to stav in as a reward for loyalty. It was a fine exhibition of stanch friendship, but It wasn’t baseball. The team finished nowhere and Clark went out under the fire of the fans, still declaring he had the onlv boys in the whole league who were giving their ’best* to their club every minute. , . •‘But it taught Harry a lesson, and ne has admitted since that baseball is baseball Having learned it he shouul come back and make tbe Brewers a great manager.”

Willie Hunter, the British amateur champion played at the Oak Park Country Club, Chicago, recently with Abe MacLeod, who is representing a Scottish golf ball house, Tom Heneage of the Oak Park Club and Professional Jim Lindsay. Although it was merely a sociable foursome, eulivened by muck coa ' versation. Hunter went out on 33 and home in 39, equaling the par of tho l ' Hunter, who later left Chicago for the East, will be bark there in March and the following month will leave f<>r England to defend his title at Prestwick, Scotland, in May. He also will play in the British ©pen championship and then come back to compete in the American national amateur championship. Mrs. Mel vie Jones of Olympia fields, the Western champion, will go to l’inehurst after the Christmas holidays. Two I former presidents of the Women's West- ! ern Golf Association. Mrs. J. P. Gard- . ner and Miss Edith E. Packard, will go ! to Biloxi, Miss., after the New Tear's holidays. Critics generally agTee that the leading women golfers of the world are Miss Cecil Leiteh of England, Miss Marlon Hollins of New York, Miss Alexa Sterling of Atlanta, Mrs. Melvin Jones of Olympia Fields. Mrs. Fred C. Letts, Jr., of Onwentsia. Miss Elaine Rosenthal of Chicago and Mrs. Dave Gaut of Memphis. The most spectacular achievement by any of them this year, however, was the defeat of Miss Leiteh at the hands of Mrs. Letts this fall in the women's national championship tournament. Mrs. Letts succumbed later to Miss Hollins, who won the title. Charlei L. West, former president of | the Chicago District Golf Association, I predicts that within the next fifteen years the number of golf clubs in the Chicago district will have doubled in number. There are at present approximately fifty I public and private organizations within I the environs of Chicago and vacant territory enough exists to build fifty more, i Public course golfers have a strong ad- | vocate In Paul C. Loeber, retiring presl- | dent of the Edgewater Golf Club, Chi- I cago, and recently elected as vice president of the Chicago District Golf Association. Mr. Loeber believes that every person wishing to play golf should have the opportunity to gratify such desire. Public courses are just as necessary as private links and the new vice president of the C. D. G. A. has and will continue to use his Influence in behalf of the Chicago multitude unable to avail themselves of the latter privilege. Official figures show that 100,289 rounds of golf were played over the Lincoln Park (Chicago) nine-hole courso from May Bto Dec. 4. This is undoubtedly a world's record for attendance at a short course and compares with approximately 65.000 over the Garfield (Chicago) ninehole links and about 50.000 over the eighteen-hole course at Jackson Park. Millers at Dyersburg MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 19—Dyersburg, Tenn., has been selected as the 1922 training camp of the Minneapolis baseball team of the American Association, it was announced Saturday.

BUTLER VICTORIES OVER CHICAGO AND WISCONSIN FEATURE WEEK; PURDUE, DE PAUW LOOM STRONG
With practically every team In the State In action, the Ud was pried off Indiana College basket-ball with a bang last week and a multidude of court followers gazed with wonder at the wealth of net material in Hoosierdom. The first peep at some of the best basket-bail in the United States was sufficient and Indiana enthusiasts who watched the performances of the various fives through the week have relaxed, thoroughly convinced that the greatest net season in the history of the State has began. Bv far* the outstanding feature of a week of revelation, was the work of the Butler College live. Friday Pat Page took a bunch of youngsters, garbed in the colors of the Irvington school that two years ago was losing games to practically every secondary team in Indian by margins varying from ten to forty points, to Madison, Wisconsin for a game with the Wisconsin University five. When hte news flashed back that these youngsters had decisively trimmed the team that was counted on as a sure first division finisher in the Big Ten race, local fans were electrified, but dubious. But when Coach Page took the same bunch down'to Chicago the following night for a game with his alma mater and trimmed the Maroons by a 16 to 13 score, even the most skeptical believed Butler had a team. These two victories mark the high point in a Bu‘’er athletic revival. All past achievement., in the regime of Pat

With all due credit to these teams they cannot be put in the class with Chicago and Wisconsin and the results of the contests early in tho week lead to the impression that Butler has p tendency to slow up against a mediocre team and play superhuman ball against a good one. This must be overcome if the locals expect to carry through successfully the long and hard schedule of the present season. Tonight Butler will conclude its trip by meeting Purdue at Lafayette. With Purdue regarded as a very probable winner of the Big Ten title this year and with Butler flushed by victories over two Big Ten schools the game tonight with rivet the attention of all basket-ball all enthusiasts in this part of tho country. PURDUE WINS FIRST TWO GAMES. Purdue, even before the start of the Big Ten season, is picked as a very probable winner by virtue of the showing made by the Boilermakers last week in two games against Indiana opposition. Franklin, with a number of former allSfate high school players in the line-up, proved no match for Piggy Lambert’s powerful quintette and was beaten, 43 to 22. Franklin undoubtedly has a team this year that would make a big dent iu college basket-ball outside of Indiana arid the convincing manner in which Purdue came out victorious gives lots of credit to the report that Lambert is harboring another Victory Five. To top this victory off, Purdue won from Rose Poly, 33 to 10, Friday. Indiana, regarded as a rather doubtful quantity before the start of the season, Is still about In the some position, although the Crimson played twice last week. If anything the showing of Levis’ five in these games has boosted Crimson basket stock. Although defeated, Indiana appeared to have lota of possibilities in the Habich game. With a line-tip numbering several really famous players the independent team had to come strong to defeat the Bloomington five by a 33 to 29 score. Indiana completely outclassed Rose Poly Saturday, winning, 31 to 19. The result of the De Pauw-Notre Dame game Thursday satisfied even the most optimistic of Old Gold supporters, for De Pauw trimmed tho school that administered that horrible football defeat, by a score of 51 to 21. Tho power of Walker's quintet disclosed in this game Instantly shoved the Greeacastle team up among what appear to be the four strongest teams in the State. The Old Gold five Is a one-sided favorite to whip Indiana tonight and Northwestern on Thursday. Wabash showed lots of possibilities, hut very little class In winning from tho Chamber of Commerce last Wednesday by a 35 to 28 score. In the first half of this game the Scarlet looked anything but good, although In the last part they showed semblance of their oid-time form. The rather poor showing of Vaughan's team in this game may be excused on the grounds that It was its first game of the year. Lots may he expected of the Crawfordsvllle aggregation later on. Earlham looked fairly good In winning from Huntington Friday by a 25 to 15 score and a great deal of Interest will be attnehed to the Wabash-Quaker game Thursday of this week.
Princeton Grid Coach Tells Players to Study Through Winter Months PRINCETON, N. J., Dec. 19.—“Tha way to win at football is not to wait until the season starts,’ declared Head Coach Bill Roper of the Princeton football team to a recent meeting of gridiron men. “The football season this fall was lost for us the winter before. Half of o'Ur men upon whom I counted fell down in their studies, leaving only twelve of thirteen good men. Throe good guards were lost and a number of good half backs.” All through his address Coach Roper emphasized that an athlete must boa student as well; that It was both his duty to the college and to his own interest not to neglect his education. Other addresses were made by Keene, Fitzpatrick and Nat Roe, and at the end the assembled athletes pledged themselves not to cut a single class before tho end of present semester, that Is, until Feb-. runry. The Princeton mentor has always emphasized the belief that studies come before athletics. He advised at this meeting that those men who were low 1n their studies should forego their Christmas vacations in order to catch up one® more and he in good shape scholastically, i “Football Is an every day business,” j declared Roper. “Wa have a hard ached- . iile next fall, and in order to win it i you must start now and work hard. If every man gets through mid-year’s and through sprmg term exams, then I would say that we are going to have a successful season next falL Although this year’s team was ono of the greatest fighting combinations I have ever seen and although there were two or threo bright spots in it I do not feel that the season was a success.” During the past football jeason Conch Roper lutroduced tha scheme of having assistant managers mark down weekly just how many cuts each man had taken from his class, and announced that he would throw off the squad any man who neglected his scholastic work.

HEZE CLARK
TWO BIG TILTS ON FOR TONIGHT Purdue Meets Butler and Indiana Tackles De Pauw in Net Battles. Four State teams battle tonight on the 1 hardwood court in two of the most interesting early season basket-ball clashes of the year. Purdue plays Butler at Lafayette while Indiana travels to Greeni castle to clash with De Pauw. The Boilmaker scrap, according to dope, should be the better of the two contests. The local collegians under Pat Page have i boosted their stock wonderfully by dei • feats of Wisconsin and Chicago, and the game is looked upjui now as an even afi fair whereas last week I’urdue was a big I favorite. i Even with Butler’s two Big Ten vtci i tories to back up its claims to greatness, j Coach Lambert’s men are given the slight edge over the Irvington outfit. The Puri | due team seems to have found itself early, j unlike some of the former Lafayette agI gregations, and in the present time seems to be in fine form. Butler with two hard games played Friday and Saturday may not be in as fine fettle as Lambert's players. The contest promises to be a real scrap. De Pauw all is confidence for th® I. U. setto on this evening’s program. The Methodists have one of the most formidable groups of basket tossers in the State and are expecting to give tba Crimson a beating. Indiana seems to be slowly rounding into form but does not pack the punch that the Tigers carry, who have in their line-up some of tba brilliant stars of Hoosier basket-ball. Levis and his crew may surprise th® Greencastle bunch, but it is very doubts ful if they can put over a victory. Drayer, Formerly of Tech, Gets Grid ‘P at Illinois URBAN A, m.. Dee. 19.—C. T.
