\riRRIN’ the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

. "3E thought the Tournament YU of Rosea game was all settied when Alabama accepted the Invitation to play at Pasadena, Cal., On New Year’s day. But no—lt Is off as the other end of the line, now. More reams of copy paper must be expended—more telegraph tolls —more publicity. There never seemed to be any doubt about Washington representing the coast. But the Northwest club has declined. We never could throw any roses at this annual lntersectional contest. Overripe tomatoes and cabbage is our choice of confetti. • • a Stanley Feezle of Indianapolis refereed the North Dakota Aggie and Wisconsin basketball game Monday night. He went to Madison with Coach Meanwell of the Badgers from the Chicago Big Ten meeting. Stanley made a fine reputation in the Big Ten last season and many Western Conference coaches are after his services this year. Feezle is one of the best. * * • We are going to send “Red” Orange a handkerchief for a Christmas present and see if he won’t say that “Stirrin' the I>ope” is the best sport column in the United States. • • • D' JEFENSE —a lost art among Hoosier high school basketu__J ball teams, was practiced Monday night when North Dakota Aggies defeated Wisconsin, 16 to 11, at Madison. Even at that we can’t understand how a team fails to score more than eleven points in forty minutes. Doc Meanwell at Wisconsin sure does succeed in holding his opponents’ scores down, but the Badgers forget to score themselves sometimes. * * • The favorites continue to go over at New Orleans track. Six public choices were winners on Monday. The weatherman dished out colder temperature and a drizzling rain, but the horses made the sun shine for a majority of the spectators. a • a IINCE the local pro football season has come to a close we might as well get things straight about how things are going to line up next year. The Ferndales are practically certain to play on the road in 1926. The season at Washington Park was not a success largely because of terrible weather. Joe Canning and his J. J. C.s will hold forth at Washington Park next year. By the way, for those who wonder what that J. J. C. stands for let us put you wise—Joseph J. Canning. The plumber grid enthusiast backed the team this season and plans to step out with a classy club In 1926. Canning stood a loss last Sunday to show the fans he means business. A1 Feeney will coach the team if present plana are not dls rupted. Carter Lionel Helvie, otherwise known as “Chunk,” another veteran local grid star, probably will lead next year's aggregation on the field One of the best team ever to represent Indianapolis is promised. And Joe has never been known to hesitate as to finances when It comes to getting a real club together. • • Pincushion, a “hot thing” in the fourth race at New Orleans, Monday, had its backers on pins and needles throughout. At the post the horse threw Jockey Mortemsen, Injuring him, and there was a delay of seventeen minutes while Jockey Steinhart was substituted. Then Pirn cushion led the field until the stretch, only to fade away into third place. • • a SHE proverbial “Tex” Rickard luck Is still holding good The six-day bike race at new Madison Square Garden drew cape,city crowds. The second of Rickard’s big productions at' the Garden looks like another sell-out. The last of the ringside seats for the BerlenbachDelaney fight on Friday night were sold Monday, according to press reports. Berlenbach rules a 7 to 5 favorite over Delaney. It is said that Paul Is a greatly improved boxer and has learned to use both hands as well as sock. * * • Everything comes to him who waits. Ask Rocco Tozze, otherwise known as Rocky Kansas. The squatty Italian has been striving for fourteen years to gain the lightweight crown. He was defeated three times by Benny Leonard. Monday night in Ills home town, of Buffalo, although his legs wobbled slightly toward the end of the fifteenth round fight, he added up enough points to get the decision over Jimmy Goodrich. * * * mHE sports editor of one of our esteemed contemporaries in"an article said he believed it was almost impossible to pick an all-State high school football' team. This same paper published some dozen or so all-Amer-ican grid selections. Dick Miller of The Times has selected first, second and third allState high school teams, which will appear on this sport page Wednesday. We guarantee it to be at least as authentic as any all-American team. Miller has not chosen ills players in haphazard fashion. He has put in real work on the thankless task. He has seen most of the strong teams of the State and has had voluminous correspondence with officials and coaches on those players of which there was any question. The all-State team is an opinion, as are each and every one of the “all” teama. It is not a guess, however, but a real effort to list the best of the Hoosier prep stars.

CASEY STENGEL IS APPOINTED MANAGER OF TOLEDO CLUB

MEETING HELD BY MAJORS National Satisfied With Conditions—A. L. Magnates Rally for Johnson. By Henry L Farrell United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. B.—Satisfaction with existing conditions in baseball was voiced by the owners of the National League clubs who gathered here today for their annual winter meeting. “Routine business is all we have to consider,” John R. Heydler, president of the league, said. Routine business will be the consideration of a proposal that the regular playing season be ended so that the world’s series games can start Oct. I. Barney Is Exception With the exception of Barney Dreyfuss, president of the world’s champion Pittsburgh team and a veteran schedule maker, all of the owners are said to be in favor of an earlier closing next fall. The club owners also may consider a suggestion that no encroachments be permitted on playing fields for world’s series games. The field was so short In Pittsburgh last fall that two-baggers went for homers. Dreyfuss, who has a hunch that the Pirates are going to be in the series again next fall, is said to be against this proposition. While it has been discussed only in whispers, the National League magnates may line up to block any attempt *>f the American League to place its president, Ban Johnson, back on the throne with Commissioner Landis and John Heydler. Removed Last Year Last winter when Landis demanded a showdown in his feud with Johnson, the American League owners put balm on his sore spots by removing Johnson from the advisory council and putting Frank Navin, Detroit owner and vice president of the league, in his place. It was reported the American owners think a year of humiliation was suffiiclent discipline for the warlike Ban, and that he should be put back on the board. It was reported that the New York Giants would announce that they had secured Gabby Hartnett, star catcher, from the Chicago Cubs. Huggins Denies Deal Miller Huggins, manager of the Yankees, denied he had made a deal with the St. Louis Browns for Marty McManus. The National League met today, the American League meets Wednesday, while on Thursday Judge Landis will preside over the annual joint meeting. While the American magnates are in session, the National League will hold a memorial service for many of Its outstanding figures, including Christy Mathewson, who died during the year. In view of what happened last October, when the world’s series was nearly obliterated by cold and darkness, Clark Griffith, owner of the Washington Senators, will propose to the joint meeting that the series be started earlier, that the game® begin at 1:30 p. m., and that admission be charged for only seven games, with free admission provided to ticket holders if the games exceed that number.

Bush has eight outfielders anti the time has come to start placing some of them by sale or trade. They are Walter Rehg, Wid Matthews, Riggs Stephenson, Joe Klugman. Horace Allen, Frank Walker, Joe Wyatt and Lloyd Christenbury. The last-named was sent away once, but was turned back to the Indians. On Reserve List Walker was injured last season after playing only three innings with the Tribe, but he is on the locals' reserve list. Another new manager entered the American Association today, when Casey Stengol was announced as 1926 boss at Toledo. Other new pilots are Spencer Abbott at Kansas City and Henry Gowdy at Columbus. Milwaukee is now in the market for anew manager to succeed Harry Clark. McCarthy is gone from Louisville, but the Colonel president and business manager say they will do the managing of that club next year. They are expected to change plans, however, before the start of the 1926 campaign, or shortly afterward. McCarthy graduated to the Chicago Cubs. Only three 1925 A. A. pilots remain in harness. Kelley at Minneapolis, Allen at St. Paul and Bush at Indianapolis.

Veteran Outfielder to Take Over Reins for Joe O’Brien’s Team Coming Season. Bv Times Special TOLEDO, Dec. B.—Charles D. (Casey) Stengel, for a number of years a National League outfielder and president and manager of the Worcester Club of the Eastern League the latter part of last season, was today named manager of the Toledo Mud liens by President Joe O’Brien. Stengel will resign as head of the Worcester team, O’Brien said.

Stengel succeeds Jimmy Burke at the helm of the Hens, Burke having resigned the last week of the 1925 playing season. The new pilot went to the big leagues when a youngster and is only 34 years of age, He is one of the comedians of baseball, but he seldom permitted his antics to interfere with his performances on the field. Stengel probably will be listed as a playing manager, but it is not thought he will be in the line-up every day. He bats and throws left handed. Stengel’s last service in the majors was as member • of the Boston Braves, but he saw little future for that team and gained permission last season to become interested in the Worcester club of the Eastern League, a Class A organization. Stengel played at various times with Brooklyn, Philadelphia Nationals, Pittsburgh, New York Giants and Boston Bravas.
