ffloW To Wih^aPennanl?? May Be Answered To-day When the Yankee Officials Confer
Big Shake-Up
Seems Certain
In Local Team
Joe Dugan, of Athletics. May
Be Signed as Fyst Move
to Bolster Colonel's Nine
By W. J. Macbeth
A genera! conference of the forces
which propose to make of tho New
York Yankees a real American League
pennant factor in 1921 will be held
this afternoon at Colonel Jacob Rup
eert's office, 1?39 Third Avenue. At
the council of tho Yankees there will
gather together the two owners, Man?
ager Miller Huggins, Business Manager
Kd Barrow and Scouts Joe Kelley, Bob |
Connery and Bob G'.lks. Certain
prospective trades will be the chief
topic of conversation.
Though no one officially will admit
the truth of the statement, it has been ;
Ifarned on excellent authority that In- |
fielder Dugan, of the Athletics, will be
wearing a Yankee uniform in 1921.
Dugan, under more affable conditions,
should' be one of tho most valuable
assets of major league baseball. He
ig out of his clement with Philadelphia.
The boy is ambitious. He cannot ad?
just himself to an habitua] tauender.
Pratt Senes Notice
Before the close of the past season
Derrill Pratt served notice on Manager
Miller Hugging that he would not re?
turn to the Yankees next year. Pratt
for tho pasl several seasons has had
it in his mind to branch out into busi?
ness for himself. He is a shrewd and j
frugal athlete who has saved most of i
his money and who believes he can turn
it over to the best advantage without
further appearing in spangles.
It is known that Miller Huggins con?
templates somewhat of a general shake
np among his force:-. For the past
couple of seasons he has not been sat?
isfied with the work of First Baseman
Wally Pipp. When Huggins came to
the Yankees Pipp held the reputation
of being tho club's greatest slugger.
He had divided slugging honors with
Home Run Baker. At the solicitation
of Huggins Pipp changed his batting
style in an attempt to hit more into !
right held. The result was somewhat
of a "bust," for which Pipp personally
mast suffe r.
Provided Pipp is traded?which now ;
seems more probable in the event of I
Joe Duggan's coming here?the great :
and .only Bab? Ruth is likely to be
seen playing first base for the Yankees
next year.
Ed Barrow, the new business man?
ager o? the Yankees, has had it in his
??raw for several seasons to make a
first baseman out of Babe Ruth. When
Harrow took i harge of the playing end
of the Red S x three years ago he
wished to play Ruth at the initial cor?
ner. But ?? got Stuffy Mclnnis in a
trade an ! had to use him as a first
baseman in self-preservation.
Barn essfully to make
nan out of Stuffy. Stuffy
fell down on the assignment, and Ruth,
greatest southpaw in
was turned into an out
there he became the
king of swat which mad? him the
:tion of organized base
?
Figuring on Carey
When p seem? 1 the- twelve-club
ague would turn out more than an
idle drear.; there was reason to believe
Max Car? y, I e I h, would be ;
seen : t nexl season.
But now that possibility is remote, to
say the least. It would bo necessary
to gel .... i from all the Nationa-1
ore any deal could be
? ? ' we? n clubs of rival
leagues. 1'; understood, was
to have gone for Carey.
Babe Ruth, who appreciates the ad?
vantages a billet in Now York means to
bim in his O'.itsuie ventures, is just
now, in Cuba, collecting $1,000 a week
for playing semi-pro ball, in a letter
to a friend here recently the King of
Swat exprei.i a desire to show more
versatility of play than he has been
able to do heretofore.
Ruth believes he would serve the
club best aa first baseman and pitcher.
Provided 1 e could play first base, lie .
would be willing to take his regular
turn in the box. He thinks he could
turn in twenty or twenty-five victories,
which would come near to assuring a
pennant. Ruth at the moment is in
the heyday of his career. He very
easily could prepare himself to be ono
of the greatest left-handed pitchers of
the profession.
The outfield problem ?s the one that.
will g-;\e Huggins his chief worry.
Were Ruth converted into a first base?
man, the backbone of the outer works
would be sacrificed. Huggins believes
Wiisun Fewster, who was knocked out
by a pitch of Jeff Pfeffer last spring
and ruined for the entire ?season fol?
lowing, is a natural center fielder, who
will rank with the Speakers and the
Careys Fewster well can bo spared
for picket duty it' Huggins is lucky
enough to pick up Joe Dugan.
Training (amp in Doubt
N'ot the least of the Yankee problems
w the selection of a training camp for
1921. For severa ?years the New York
Americans ' have trained in Jackson?
ville, Fla., where the Brooklyn Dodgers
. also prepared for their championship
tussle. These two teams played a
series of games which seemed mutu
. ally beneficial. Of the two parks there
tiie Yankees had tho better one, a fact
which has prompted Brooklyn to look
for new training quarters.
Jacksonville, without the advantages
of a series of games with a team of
toe Strength of 'he Dodgers, would lose
t.'uch of its charm. Every city of con?
sequence south of the Mason and Dixon
- is bidding for the Yankees and
?.abe Ruth, The big problem in mod?
ern baseball is to select a ramp from
V'hieh plenty of exhibition games may
be. played with teams of a rival league.
?New Orleans, which has been passed
W by the world'? champion Cleveland?,
has niadt) a flattering offer to Babe
Ruth's cast. But the Yankees may go
farther west They may go to Texas.
Pallas is available. If "the journey is
made to Texas a series will be plaved
?with the Giant?.

Izzy Discusses Reform
Tells How Daniels Will Stop Hazing at Annapolis
By W. O. McGeehan
"I seen where Cannonball Chase, which he is in the minister busi?
ness, says that Chack Dempsey and George Carpenter shouldn't be
allowed to fight in New Yorjc," announced Izzy Kaplan. "The way I got
it figgered is that Cannonball Chase is one of those fellers who would
want the fight stopped on account a lot of people would enchoy seeing them
two fellers fight.
"I never went in the box fighting business myseluf on account I got
too much brains that I should be such a bummer, but personally I don't
see no harr in the business. There won't be nothing brutal about the
Chack Dcmpsey and George Carpenter box fighting but the prices, but that
wouldn't hurt me none on account me and Texas Rickardstein, which he
is giving the show, is chust like that, and I would get it a free pass.
"What Cannonball Chase should do is to have it a law that nobody
should be beaten up for nothing. Look at me. Somebody is always giving
me a poke in the eye for nothing at all, and if Chack Dempsey and George
Carpentier get it a poke in the eye they would be paid for it. Nine times
I was knocked down at the Photog^tifters' benquet, and I never got a
dime for it, and Cannonball Chase never said a word about it at all.
George Carpenter is proing to get knocked down only once and when he
wakes up he will find $200,000 in his boxfighting glove. That ain't no
brutality. It's a cineh.
"It is my opinion that people is getting too soft. Look at Secretary
Deniels, which he is Secretary of the Navy, and just gave out 20,000
medals for the best essays on the Eighteen Amendment, which was written
by Ednr'rals. Edmiral Sims is the only feller in the navy that ain't got
one, on account he sent it back because he wanted to be oxclusive, and the
onoly way he could be different from the rest of the Edmirals was to have
no medal at all.
"Well, Secretary Deniels hears there is a lot of hazing goning on at
the Navy School, where the boys is learning to be Edmirals, and say the
Volsteaders Ect without reading it out of the book. The Edmiral who is
running the school reports to Secretary Deniels that thS seniors at
Aunt-Annapolis Academy, which is what they call it the Navy School,
broke into the place where the freshmen is sleeping and beat them in a
pillow fight.
"When Secretary Deniels hear3 of thl3 brutality in the Navy Depart?
ment he is pretty sore. 'They ought to be in the penitenchary,' he said.
'I Bent a feller to the penitenchary when I was running a school in the
South once for encaging in a brutal pillow fight, and I would did it again
if it was necessary. Order out the marines from Hnyti and send them'to
Aunt-Annapolis to stop this. I would sooner fire everybody from the
school than we should have for the navy a lot of sawage pillow fighters.'
"So the marines is on their way to Aunt-Annapolis and the Navy is
being sent there in a hurry and I would bet you that the Edmirals
who could stop the pillow fighting and the other outrages which they have
been going on there would got at least three extinguished navy crosses
because Secretary Deniels has the order in at the Mint already. And the
Edmiral who catches one of them sawage pillow fighters red-handed would
be put in command of the Atlantical Fleet, and be stationed at Pelham
steins Eay for the duration of all wars.
"Personally, I wouldn't agree with Cannonball Chase and Secretary
Deniels because young fellers wouldn't mind it a poke in the eye, espe?
cially Chack Dempsey and George Carpenter, which they are in the
business. Fellers like Cannonball Chase and Secretary Deniels gets soft
at their time of life and the softness goes to their beads. There is too
much reforming going on, anyhow. Look at the Eighteen Amendment,
Which it is making averybody pay a dollar a drink for rotten stuff, which
they make it from comicals.
"Well, I got to go down to the Eastside River to look for my two
goldfish, Sol and Moe. I was letting them play in the sink when the
plug came out and they got away from me in the pipe. I am advertising
for them, too. Sol has a white spot near his head and Moe has a piece
bitten off his tail. If anybody should see them, they could wrap them up
and return them to Izzy Kaplan, Photografrer and Cheneral Merchan?
dise."

Benny Leonard
Stops Ed Kelly
In Fifth Round
Lightweight Champion Puts
Out Harlemite, Whose ]
Seconds Claim a Foulj
Benny Leonard, the lightweight cham-1
pion of the world, scored a technical j
knockout over Harlem Eddie Kelly last j
night, in the fifth round of the star bout ;
at the Commonwealth Spoiling Club, of |
Harlem. Kelly was helpless and on the I
vergo of a knockout when Jack Skelly, j
the referee, stepped in between the two |
fighters and waved Leonard to his cor- j
ner. Kelly had to be carried to his !
chair.
The lightweight champion, who ap-.
peared to be in superb condition, '??
weighed in at 13(5 pounds, while Kelly ;
moved the beam at 141-?, The Harlem.:
boy started matters with a rush, land- ;
ing two long lefts to Benny's head in
the first round and encouraging his sup-!
porters to believe that he was going to
give the title holder a hard battle for
the honors.
But it was evident that Leonard was
simply biding his time, conscious that.
be was master of the situation. In the
second round, having thoroughly sized ;
up his opponent, Benny began to shoot'
home damaging punches from every '
angle. Kelly was taking a hard beat?
ing in the second, third and fourth '?
rounds, Leonard whipping wicked lefts ?
to the jaw and body. Kelly was un- .
steady on his feet when he went to i
his corner at the end of the fourth\
round.
When they came out for the fifth
Leonard walked up to Eddie and start- ,
ed a furious assault with both hands
until Eddie was reeling about the ring, ?
trying to work his way into a clinch ;
in the effort to avoid Leonard's fast
flying fists. But Benny was very cool, j
and ho timed his blows perfectly,
The beginning of the end came when |
th? lightweight champion sent a stiff !
left to the head, followed by a bard I
right to the jaw. Kelly was weaken- !
ing so rapidly that he was barely able !
to hold up his hands, and Leonard had
no difficulty in landing almost at will. ;
"A long left swing to the jaw that land
ed with crushing force sent Kelly reel- ?
ing to the floor, and as he was failing j
; Benny whipped up a terrific right to j
! the head.
; Kelly fell in a heap, while his sec- j
? onds yelled loudly that Leonard had i
fouled their man by striking him when
Eddie was on his knees. Skelly refused
to listen to this protest, and ordered j
Kelly to resume fighting. When Eddie I
struggled to his feet again Leonard I
measured him deliberately and shot
another crushing right to the jaw,
I sending his opponent to the floor for
; the second time. Before any further
i damage could he done Skelly stORPed
the fight.
In the preliminaries Jess Duffy, of
j Chicago, a likely looking middleweight,
knock?d out Terry Mitchell in the f-tst
: ro-.ind, and Charley Beecher outpointed

i in a ten-round bout.

Columbia Captain Earns Place
As End in Final Game of Year
-??" -?J
Kieiiiiiiiger Supplants Pul
leyn as Left Wing; O'Neill
Bolsters the Line Play
Columbia continued its intensiv?} ?
preparation for the Penn game at South !
Field yesterday afternoon. Despite the
fact that Coach O'Neill is handicapped !
by injuries to many members of the
squad, he nevertheless ordered a
Ungthy scrimmage.
First O'Neill placed the backfield
men und ends undar the supervision
of Assistant Coach Telfer, and the lat?
ter drilled the men in the fundamentals '
of forward passes. Meanwhile O'Neill;
took charge of the linemen and put
them tlu-ough a severe test in block- I
mg. Owing to the fact that ModarclM
and W?lder were on the side lines,
O'Neill found it necessary to use two
substitutes in the varsity line. This
necessitated the calling in of two big
freshmen to lili the gaps on the re?
serve, as many of the men were com?
plaining of injuries.
_ Hindi and Herman were the selec?
tions for the guard positions, while
Ctllaway played left tackle in place
of Modarelli. Scovil appeared at the
ether tackle. O'Neill again used For?
syth and Captain Kienninger on the
ends, and it looks now as if the varsity
leader will have the first call at left
end over Pulleyn.
In the scrimmage the varsity was
given the ball on the twenty-yard line
and O'Neill gave orders to try a num?
ber of forward passes. The ball was
wet and slippery, but Harris managed
(o get away with a number of good
throws.
After three-quarters of an hour the j
ball was given to the scrubs, who were
equipped with Pennsylvania forma?
tions. Despite their unfamiliarity with
the new formations the scrubs rapidly
mastered details and kept the varsity
on the jump trying to break up their
plays.
Lucas, Scrub Player
Tico Weeks Ago, Joins
Penn Varsity Squad
From a Special Correspondent
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 17.?After al
two-day rest Coach Heisman took tho !
University of Pennsylvania football j
team out on Franklin Field this after?
noon for a long signal drill. Tho
slow recovery of several of th-* crip?
pled varsity backs indicated to-day a
change in the personnel of the Red
and ttlue for the Columbia game, in
all likelihood this will take a radical
form.
Whitehall, former Rutgers halfback,
who played sensational football for
[ Penn ut the starr, of the season and
\ then slumped badly and was dropped
! from the squad, returned to-day and
had back his varsity place. He will
i start the game Saturday.
The other surprising change will be
?the inclusion of young Lucas in the
backfield. This youth came out for
t!,p scrub team only two weeks ago.
| Within a few days he tore the varsity
squad to pieces and attracted so much
: attention that lie speedily vas pro
I moted to the first team.
Lucas was given the varsity signals
to-day, and if he is able to learn them
in vinie he will get a chance against
I Columbia. This means that ?Toe
1 .--'traus, who is recovering from his
! injured ankle, will be on the side
lines and will be saved for Cornell
on Thanksgiving Day. Farreil, also,
j will be out. Rex Wray and Thomas
will ..:ake up the rest of the backfield.

Witchet was the only odds-on choice
that delighted the students of form.

ing came away to win as he pleased j
Tippity Witchet galloped the mile in |
