:t id just possible this provincial promoter hasn't yet seen the point of the

in the management of the Giants' offices during the absence of Charles A.

It is known from his most positive
and sincere assertions throughout the

not trade Frisch even u?* for Hornsby,
o*uch as he prizes the slugger of the
Mound City. McGraw believe-? Frisch

"Conn you .'-out/,, you. bally duffer, nine you South to loaf and play."
The dreamy unnds are singing where the pine trees way and croon,
Ain? a silver moon is ? g just the same ar, it ivas June;

H ?'?? . l\ if of sun-baked ee'': , ; keep a-miseing of their putts,

And tins blasted Northern drizzle leaves a burning in my bean;
Though 1 talk with fifty experte where the snow luis left a wreck, ?
/ liad rather miss one bras&ie where the sun is on my reck.
Ship me som.ew?iero south of Dixie, where a cove can swing a deck,
II here tho tcv-joof put's are dropping and the fairway's green and sleek;
For the niashie shots arc calling, and it's there that I would be,
Where I'm s*'??* up on some duffer as we leave the seventh tee.
Ship -me so-mewhere south of Dixie, where the skyline's pink and blue,
Where the low winds cross tho palm belt ara. I reach the green in tico;
Where I hear the inland eclioes ar I watch, the rolling surf,
As ihe max/lie blade, goes tearing for its grip with Southern tart.
Yon can have your Northern winter?, but I'll take the palms for mine,
The whisper through, the maple and the nvusic of the pine;

Belter fifty days in hunkers than a cycle in the snows.
Why Not?
As we understand it, there is t?i be a general conclave soon, headed j
by, Judge Lundis, to probe a few fathoms deeper into baseball';' still
unraveled scandal.
There has been a whirl of talk back and forth as to what a lot of
people knew in advance, as to various rumors of crookedness, and also
as to why no action was taken.
Why wouldn't it be a good idea for Judge Landis to obtain and lay
bare the full facts, placing the blame for lack of quicker action just l
v.: ere it belongs'.'
Hundreds of ballplayers knew all about the White Sox scandal all
the year. These missed their big chance by not insisting upon cleaning
up their own gamo.
.Many others higher up knew even added details. Who was asleep ?
on the job all these months?
On What Grounds?
Dempsey's next two main opponents will be Jess Willard and j
Georges Carpcntier.
If he wins both contests he will then have just ono opponent left'
with a chance?the same being Harry Wills.
It is reported that Dempsey will draw the color line. But on what
grounds can a man draw Wie color lino whi.se main sparring partner is
Bill Ta '
New York vs. the West
N w York, with Leonard and Lynch, houses two champions. But
til West still predominates in the heavyweight line.
Sullivan ruled from the East. But Corbett, Jeffries, Johnson, Willard \
and Dempsey all lived nearer the Pacific than the Atlantic, ocean.
Fitzsimm?ns war, a Cornishman? who came here from Australia. So
the East hasn't produced a heavyweight champion in exactly twenty-nine
years.
New York, with Terry McGovern, Benny Leonard, Joo Lynch and
ethers, has done, well enough in lighter displacements.
But the. entire section east of the Mississippi hasn't produced enough
heavyweight talent in a quarter of a century to start a cheer. Tom'
Sharkey was the last of tho Eastern luminaries worth a hoarse hoot
They even had to go as far West as Chicago to find some one who'
could give Dempsey a battle.
Before the war six officers as a bodyguard stood at attention while i
the ( rown Prince wielded a mashie or a putter. But to-day there are no '
officers standing at attention while his old man wields a saw.
George Ade and Ort Weils expect to test the bunkers at St. Augus- ,
tine before moving on to Belleair. As Clarence Budington Kelland and
Sewell Ford also will he. giving battle in the same Florida neighborhood,
? " terary flavor should 1-e 99% per cent. pure. George Ade battles
with Bogie on his indiana course until tho first '-now flurry arrives, and
then, without pausing for more than a day or two, continues his terrific
onslaught upon the Colonel all winter. !:'.< the life, if you can put it,'

rader Beats Out Polythia
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 2D.?J. R.
Skiner's three-year-old chestnut coit,
Eddie Rickenbacker, ran another
creditable race here this afternoon,
when he won the Pan Zareta Handicap,
a five furlong event, in the good time
of 1:00 3-5. Marvin May was second,
and Applejack II took down thin, part
of the $1,000 purse. There were six
starter?.
The surprise of the day came in the
fourth race when Parader beat homo
Polythia for the winning honors, with
Madeline Lillian third. In only twi
races did the favorites get home first
and they were Eddie Rickenbacker
and Royden, in the opening event.
The second race was won by Rain?
bow Girl, which is always at knie
on a fast track, with odds of 5 to 1
against her chances. Lieutenant Perk?
ins led a field of eleven in the third.
