PURCHASE Of BEHTLEY
J BY NEW YORK GIANTS
SETS BASEBALL AGOG (By Associated Press) NEW YfK, Oct. 31. Baseball circles -were agog today over the acquisition by the world's champion Giants yesterday of Jack Bentley,- star batsman and pitcher of the Baltimore International league club fcor a reported consideration of $20,000 in cash andjfour players. The club officials declined to confirm reports of the purchase price but baseball men ranked the deal In importance with the sale of Jimmy O'Connell to the
Giants for $75,000 and Willie Kamm to
the White Sox for 100.000, both from
the-San Francisco club of the Pacific
coast league.
Bentley is one of the most versatile
stars in the minor leagues? He is a veteran, having performed with Wash
ington in the American league from
1913 to 1916, but bis reputation as a home run slugger, pitcher and all-
around star has been gained in the
past few seasons, as an important
cog in the machine Jack Dunn has piloted to several International league
flags. He is 28 years old. May Use as Hurler Bentley has done most of his play
ing at first base for Baltimore during
the past few seasons, although he has occasionally taken a turn in the box, winning 25 out of 27 games he twirled
in the last two seasons. He is a south
paw and it is probable that McGraw
will groom him to bolster up the Giant
twirling staff.
Last year Bentley tinlsned with a
batting average of .349, rapping out
21S hits, Including 22 homers, and
scoiing 109 runs. He was third on the
league batting list The year before
he led the league with a mark of .412.
collecting 248 hits, including'' 24 circuit
blows and scoring 122 runs.
Various clubs in both major leagues
nave been angling for Bentleys serv
ices for some time. The White Sox were reported to have been among the
strongest bidders. Recently Manager
Dunn was quoted as having set a pur
chase price of $100,000 for his star. The sale of Bentley, in International league circles, was regarded as the
first step toward the reorganization of the Baltimore team, whicli has ' made a runaway race of the circuit for several years.

Find Managers Parasites
YANK OWNERS DISPLAY THEIR SPORTSMANSHIP
NEW YORK. Oct. 31. Colonels Til Houston and Jacob Ruppert owners of the New York Yankees, are two of the finest sportsmen in baseball. They are close to the finest. If they needed anything after their record of several .years in baseball to brand them as such, they furnishd that when they turned their ears away from th mob yelling for the scalp of Miller Huggins and sdgmcid "him for another year as manager of the Yanks. "Ho gave us two pennants and that makes his position secure," the Yanks ownprs said "We had no thought of relieving him from command. Our only doubt was that he would accept the management for another year." Huggins was condemned because he ailed to win the world's scries twice D fter he had led his team to the American league championship. New York never yelled for the head of John McGraw, and in looking over the record of the Giant leader it will be seen that he has lost more world's series than he has won. Orders Disobeyed. Huggins will have a free hand absolutely in making any changefe in the personnel of the team or in making any deals to strengthen the club during the winter months, the club owners announced, in giving him a new contract There will be some changes beyond doubt Huggins has never been one to alibi, but it was learned during the season from one of his close friends, that two of his prima donas, not only during
the season but all season, persisting in going to the plate and refusing to obey orders. WlKta he ordered them to "lay one down" they would swing at the ball as if they saw one they thought was good for a hit Some changes in the outfield are almost sure, and It would not be a surprise to see another player at second base when the 1923 season starts. Hugjrins will not have to worry about pitchers as ho has plenty of them and his catching is in good hands. Wally Pipp, Scott and Du gan are also fixtures in the infield. Since the series, it has been reported that Babe Ruth had been fined $10,000 for refusing to keep in condition during the 1922 season. Yankee owners refused to comment on the report. The amount seems exorbitant fbut it would take that big a jolt to penetrate the skull of Ruth and make hini understand that he can't get away with such actions in the future. No fan would drop dead if Mr. Ruth
Is playing in another uniform next
year.
Br FRANK G. METRE The elderly Will Muldoon Is fervently opposed to fight managers. The boss of the New York State Athletio Commission regards the vast bulk of them in the light of parasites, financial leaches and a few other things. All of which proves that Muldoon has made a study of fight managers and has reached an entirely logical and correct conclusion. It embraces no exaggeration whatsoever when the statement is made that quite a few of the fight managers ought to be eating bread and water in
near-by jails and that about 50 per cent of the others ought to be tossed into a nice va3t place like the Atlantic Ocean. r Worthy of Hire The game in New York does know a dozen managers perhaps 15 or 20 who are worthy of their hire; men who
really have helped their fighters and
men who can be trusted by the gladiators .But the others are so constituted morally that if a fighter sleeps in the same room with them that fighter is likely to wake up In the morning minus his bankroll.
It is that class of men Mniaoon is anxious to drive out of the game. The sternest fight which he has waged since he was elevated to his Job, has been to protect fighters from managers. He has done fairly well, Inasmuch as he reduced the percentage which fighters had to give to managers from 35, 40 and 50 per cent down to 30 per cent Idea Is Dream Muldoon's idea just now is a sort of an employment agency for fighters, which would kick the fight manager into he vale of oblivion. It is more of a dream than a possibility in the way that Muldoon outlines it at the present time. But it is possible that the day may come when something akin to Muldoon's scheme will be put into operation and the fighter will get about 97 per cent of what he earns, instead of 30, 40, or 50 per cent. The chairman of the New York State Athletic Commission would establish a big office where fighters could go tc
register and to apply for engagement?;.
The promoters would go there to apply for engagements. The promoters
would go there to apply for fighters.
The men who operated the employ
ment bureau would bring the two to
gether and the fighter would be as
sessed tnly a moderate fee.
How much different this would be
for a flzhter than the present system.
It is the natural assumption of those
unfamiliar with the inner workings of

pugilism that when a fighter turn
over 30 per cent of his earnings to the manager, he, the fighter, gets the 70 per cent difference. But that is, in
the main, an erroneous impression. For the fighter is lucky if he gets 40 or 50 per cent of his gross earnings for bis contest Most managers, collecting the money from the promoters, deduct 30 per cent of the gross immediately for their own end. Then they point out to the fighter that they had to incur such-and-such an expense in the matter of publicity, and .added amount in the

All that is deducted from the fighter's
70 per cent And, in the end, the fighter usually receives about 40 or 45 per cent of the money he earned.
it is a well Known fact that managers
paid the expense account in very expensive fashion. An instance came to light not so long ago involving a fighter who had earned exactly $1,000 in
nng natue. He expected that his
manager would turn over $700. The
manager actually gave him $285. When
me ngnter put up a howl, the manager gave him a bill.

manager's "bit" and S415 also deduct

ed "advertising." The other 1115 WIS
made up in "trainer's fees," "postage, telephone, taxicabs, etc."
It is a rather welL. established fact
that the manager hadT actually spent only about $65 instead of 1415 and
thereby had fleeced his own warrior
out of exactly $350.
Muldoon probably has run afoul of
instances of the same sort all of which have prompted his thought concerning an employment bureau for fighters.

agency during his regimes questiona-

BILL EMSLIE
Diminutive and speedy. EI11 Emslie
has entered his third year of football
at Earlham college.. He plays halfback and is renowned for his speed on end runs and uncanny ability to get through small holes in the line. Bill starred at Quarter for the Rich
mond high school team of 1919. which
was the first one for over a period of 10 years. He came to Richmond from
up north, where they play football and he was looked to as a great player when the high school candidates turned out for the initial practice sessions on the return of the game. College teams which play Earlham these days, knowing the speed of Emslie, have but one object in mind and that is to be on edge to atop the speedy back.
