M'GRAW MAY BECOME GIANT'S PRESIDENT; STONEHAM TO RESIGN ! (By United rress NEW YORK, Dec. 27. The coming year In baseball maysee the passing from active managerial work of one of the game's greatest figures John J. McGraw. Reports that could not be confirmed were current la eastern baseball circles today that the man who piloted the Giants to eight pennants and thre'e world championships is about to become their president upon resignation of Charles A. Stonehanv Stoneham, chief stockholder of the New York Nationals, has decided to quit as active head of the club in the near future, it is said, and McGraw is

slated to step into his shoes. ; :' Such a move would mean that AlcGraw would cast about for a successor to run the team and devote his time to business. Although the wily little Giant manager has made a dozen team pilots during his leadership and has sent ment to other teams who have taken the reins and often beaten him out in tight races, the immediate successor to the "Napoleon" of baseball at the head of the Giants i3 not apparent. Would Manage in 1923 Undoubtedly McGraw will carry through the coming season. It would be an almost hopeless task to start the world's champions off in the 1923 pennant race with any one else at the helm. That will give McGraw a season in which to choose and develop his successor. "So far as I know there is nothing to the story that I am to succeed Stoneham as president," McGraw said to day. "The story certainly didn't orig inate with me. Tl . 1 i , I i . , . j immurs luai wouma i ue uowneu, with Judge McQuade, bought the Giants in 1919 for a million dollars, is going to follow the example of Col. Tittle Huston and get out of New York baseball. McQuade and McGraw have an option on Stoneharn'R KtocV which will PTtiirfi In 1924, and it is believed the present president will be out of Giant affairs by that lime. New York would feel most severely the loss of John Mc Graw from bench and playing field. In twenty seasons since 1902 the Giants have -been first eight times second eight times, third once, fourth twice and once in the cellar. GYMNASTIC EXERCISES AT Y. M. CiA.

Earnings of Jockeys Better Than Salary of President

- By FRANK G. MEKE A lot of bozos in the dim- distan' days preferred being right to being president of the U. S. A. But times have changed. Thed'y rather be jockeys now. And not without reason. The very youthful A. Johnson earnel beyond $75,000 in the season just agone. And he got it all in about seven months during which his real workday averaged from three to ten minutes. Just how much Johnson added to that total through winning wagers oo. his mounts is guess work. But it's more or less certain that he cashed in anywhere from f 100,000 to $150,000 on his little fliers." Johnson was the riding sensation o the year, as far as purse earnings arc concerned. He gathered in close to $300,000 for the owners of the horses he piloted. He rode Morvich to a $53,000 victory in the Kentucky Derby; he rode Exterminator in practical ly All of the great geidings s triumphs He was aboard Sally's Alley when sh won the Belmont Futurity and one sec tion of the Pimlico. He rode Blossom Time to win the second part of the Pimlico. Johnson got a retainer from his em ployers also a percentage of the purse winnings. All combined mad? the income of the boy greater than Warren G. Harding receives for an entire year of presid anting in these United States. Earl Sande wasn't far behind Johnson in wages received. Sande did most of the riding for the powerful Rancocas Stable, but rode free lance quite often and picked up neat sums in that way. Sande's earnings, plus his winning wagegrs, are said to have gone well over the $125, 000 mark in 1922. ' Clarence Turner received $150,000 for steering the horses of J. K L. Ross. In addition he got a percentage of tin money won in stake races. He did some free lance riding too and perhaps added $5,000 to $7,500 to his bank account in that way. A season or so ago Lawrence Lyko lived in the most golden of golden hours for him. That was when he was jockeying for E. R. Bradley, the turfman who raced his horses mainly on Kentucy tracks. Lyke received $500 per month ani expenses. Also he was given 10 per cent of all the motey Bradley wou betting on the horses which Lyk2 shooed along over the highways ani :he byways of the race courses. Estimate Lyme's Pay It was estimated that Lyke was paid over $100,000 in a single season under this arrangement wiwth Brad ley. How much more he won in wafers is something he alone can answer. But the sum perhaps slithered along abovp the $100,000 mark. Lyke isn't earning f uch money now. Success went to hi., head. He had some sort of disagreement with Bradley. And so out went Lyke to seek jobs which have pail him but a pittance in comparison with Bradley's donations. Laverne Fator, second string jockey for Rancocas in 1922 earned enougii in 1922 to enable him to loaf the rest of his days if he so desired and not worry about any wolves yapping on his front porch. McAtee and Clarence Kummer also took large gobs of sh .dollars unto themselves. Ke.ogh, Fairbrother, Schuttinger, and Marinelll were others who Increased the bankroll to bulging proportions last season. Of course, all jockeys are not so richly rewarded. Many, including veterans, dub around all year and never earn more than $5,000 or $10,000. And the youngsters, of mediocre ability, who rarely can drive a nag down in from, must be content with $2,500 to $4,000 for a season's woiT But, all things considered, there's MiiiimumiiHiHiiiiiiuutHtiiiuiiniiMinitiiiiiiHiHmHiitHittHiiiituiinniiiiiiniii HOLIDAY GOODS Special Discounts on SAM S.

Short Months to Birds, no form of labor a boy can indulge in which will bring to him such speedy and huge financial enrichment as jockeyship provided he has the brains, the courage and the native ability to lift himself above the common horde and become a star of stars. " For where, in all ttie world, is there a trade or a profession, which will pay a boy of 21, 22 or 23 upwards of $75,000 for a few minutes work a day with the work season extending only from April to November?

Someone Page Assistance For Little Rogers Hornsby ST. LOUIS, Dec. 27. An amusing story is told of the race this year in the National league. Rogers Hornsby, the St. Louis star, was anxious to get into the .400 class and the St. Louis writers traveling with the team in Chicago were just as anxious to have their favorite make the mark. Before the last game in Chicago, one of the St. Louis writers approached the official scorekeeper and in a round-about way refreshed his memory on the rule that the batter shquld be favored in case of doubt, that Rogers was a nice boy and that he wanted to bat .400. etc. The official scorer . admitted that Hornsby was entitled to considera tion. The first time up Rogers knocked the third baseman over with a drive. The second time he smashed a-liner to center, and the third time up he doubled, whereupon the official scor er remarked to the St: Louis scribe: "Who in the told you that bird needed any help?" $4,000,000 DAMAGE SUIT v FILED OVER LAflD LEASES MUSKOGEE, Okla., Dec. 27: Dam ages of $4,0bb.872 are sought in a suit filed in federal court here by tho Kansas Natural Gas company, its subsidary, the Marnot Mining com pany, and the Empire Natural Gas company, against the Owen-Osage Oil and Gas company, a Delaware corpo ration.

IND., WEDNESDAY, DEC. 27,

Hoosier Courtship The next interscholastic basketball game of the season in Richmond will be next year between Connersville Hi and the local Morton athletes, Wednesday, Jan. 3. On the following Friday Earlham will get Into action against .Hanover in the second home game of the season. . Morton Hi athletes worked out In the Hi gym Tuesday afternoon and perfected their defense, which was a bit ragged in the game with Rushville here last Friday night. The offensive strength of the team is considered the fastest any Red and White outfit has had in several years, but the defense Is the big factor with which to contend. - Phi Delts meet SL Xavier univer sity net tossers Wednesday, night and the Camera Shop Kewpies will work in the first game of the evening against the strong Anderson All-Stars. The All-Stars who Dlav hern are bunch of players that has been to gether for nearly five year, playing amateur ball. Center is a hard nosition to fill for any basketball team. If a player does not have a good head on him the entire team can be thrown off because of the lack of co-operation from the center position. Ability to counter the work of the opposing team with brilliant performances in the centers ring has won for many teams. For success in basketball an ath lete should be able to change his pace and adapt it to whatever circumstance might exist in a game. The brainy player will have complete command of his actions and general exhibition throughout a game. Always have full control of the ball when passing and shooting. Of course, it is up to the Individual when dribbling. A team accustomed to ehootiner and obtaining the majority of its Doints at close range will often be found lacking m uie long snot department. A fast moving machine with a good system for under-basket shooting will find Its players unable to hit the basket from a aistance or 2o feet from the eroal. This is an absolute handicap, which a team should drill on. Complete control of the situation will help considerably. The player, intent on getting the ball to a fellow-player for a short shot, becomes over-anxious in shooting from a distance and often he shoots wild, not becoming It good basketball player. That good basketball player Is the one who can go down the floor with his head up and looking around while dribbling. This is an art which takes considerable practice. If dribbling can be done by a player and a good observation of the floor kept at the same time it will help considerably. It is far better to let a man go when in the foul zone area than to foul him. If you foul a man in the 17-foot area it means two free shots for the opposition in addition to counting of the field goal. If made by the opponent. Personal fouls are not necessary in a good game. A good basketball player never has the tfme to piay "dirty" or commit personal fouls. He had just enlisted in the navv and, conscious of the fascination of his nice new uniform, was improving his last hours ashore by making frantic love. "But do you swear that T'm tho only girl you love?" she demurred, not quite convinced. "You know thev sav a sailor has a swetheart in every port." "Don't you believe tha.t, kid," he replied earnestly. "Why, I haven't been on my first cruise yet." American Legion Weekly. New Madison, 0. NEW MADISON. Ohio. Mr. nrtri Mrs. O. D.
