Yankees and Tigers Rumored to Have Resumed Negotiations for Outfielder Bobby Veach
Huggins Expected to Confer
With Cobb Within Two Weeks
Acquisition of Jones and Bush Has Given Formidable
Pitching Front and Addition of Detroit Fly Chaser
Would Bridge Temporary Kuth-Meusel Absence
By Jack Lawrence
Negotiations with the Detroit Tigers for the services of Bobby Veach,
outfielder, have,been renewed by the Yankees, and there are excellent
prospects that he will be the central figure of the next big basebatt ?rade
to be announced. **
Miller Huggir.s. msnager of the
Yanks, and Ty Cobb, helmsman of the
Detroit outfit, had several long con?
ferences over the Veach matter while
the baseball meetings were being held
wt the Commodore ten days ago, and it
is known that a trade was almost ?osed
at that time which would have brought
Bobby to New York. Players, cash and
one other big league organization were
involved in the transaction, and when
Cobb left town it was said that only a ?
few dollars stood between the Yankees
and the desired outfielder.
Kuggins has returned to his home in
Cincinnati, and in two weeks will go
on a shooting trip. Before he groes, ac
?-ording to information gathered in
well informed baseball circles yester?
day, Huggins will see Cobb again dur?
ing the early part of next week some?
where in the West and will offer the
Georgia Peach a proposition that is ex?
pected to meet with his immediate ap?
proval.
Will b-e "Riding Pretty*
?.' the Yankees succeed in securing
Veach they will he "riding pretty"
when the 1922 season opens. It is no
secret that the deal with the Boston
Red Sox. which sert Peckinpaugh to
the Hub in return for pitchers "Bullet
Joe" Push and Sam Jones, was made
with the idea of giving the American
league champions sufficient pitching
strength to offset the temporary ab?
sence from the line-up of Babe Ruth
and Bob Meusel, both of whom are un?
der suspension until May 20 for violat?
ing the rule which prohibits players
who have participated in the world's
series from taking part in post-season ?
barnstorming tours.
The acquisition of Everett Scott
from the Red Sox will add something
to the Yankees in a defensive way, his
ability to play short being generally
regarded as unsurpassed. Scott is not
expected to hit as well as Peck, partic?
ularly when a timely smack is needed
in a pinch, but. the experts up and down ;
the line declare that the change of en-!
vironment is very likely to send the j
former Bostonian's batting average !
soaring next season.
Before the Boston deal was put
through there was every indication
?.hat the Yanks were in for some tough
?leading during the first five weeks of
the reason, without Ruth and Meusel
taking their regular turns at bat. As
the Ruppert-Huston pitching staff
-tood prior to the big swap with Harry
F razee's club, there were only two de
uendable twiiiers to bear the brunt of
tiie mound work. These were Carl
Mays and Waite Hoyt, stars of the last
? orld's series against the Giants.
Harper and Shawkey
Hackensack Harry Harper was a de?
cidedly uncertain quantity last season, '
due to an injured finger, and while
there are wiseacres of an optimistic
turn of mind who look for him to come
hack in 1922 in a sensational manner,
there is decidedly no assurance of this.
Bob Shawkey fliwered miserably to?
ward the iatter part of last season and
was of no use whatever in the series
??gaitii-'c the Giants. What he will show
in 1922 f% highly problematical, many
students of the grand old pastime hold?
ing the opinion that Bob the Gob has
shot his bolt and is through. During
the baseball meetings here it was ru?
mored repeatedly that Bob was to fig?
ure in one of the deals which were de?
signed to bring Veach to New York.
With Bush and Jones to share the
pitching burden with Hoyt and Mays
:he Yankees will present about as
formidable a front, so far as mounds
men are concerned, as any club in the
league. Bush, incidentally, is one of
"?he few players involved in this week's
trades "ano is pleased with the prospec?
tive change of climate. When he was
informed that he had been traded to
the Yankees "Bullet Joe" declared that
it was the greatest Christmas present
he had ever had handed to him. He
added the significant remark that he
^ '-onsidered a raise in salary of no mean
A dimensions was coming to him.

Neale Is Confident
Of W. & Je Victory
On Departure Eve
Believes Condition Due to
Long Trip, and Change of
Climate Only Worry
WASHINGTON. Pa,, Dec. 23.?On the
ove of the departure of the Washing?
ton and Jefferson team for the Pacific
Coast to engage the California team on
January 2, Coach Neale of the Presi?
dents quietly informed his friends j
here that he believed his team would :
win. He expressed himself as well ,
pleased that California seems so confi- j
dont of the result.
"Our team will stand on its merits
as a winning aggregation," he said. "I
quite agree with FoBter Sanford, the
Rutgers coach, that any team that can
beat Detroit by two touchdowns will
make an interesting game for Cali?
fornia. There is the one element of
uncertainty about the condition of our
players, due to the long trip and the
chp.nge in climate, but I believe my
man will be in shape, and if they are I
think they can win."
Washington and Jefferson's team had
a holiday from practice this afternoon.
A drizzling rain fell throughout the
afternoon, and inasmuch as the suits
were packed early this evening Neale
dismissed the men after they had as
| sembled at the clubhouse and confined
I his instructive efforts to a blackboard
session this evening. The men will
now get no more work until next Mon?
day at Kansas City, where arrange?
ments have been made for s practice
field.
The Red and Black players will leave
here to-morrow morning at 8 o'clock in
j good physical condition. Thus far no
! evidences of staleness Lave been seen
and every man on the situad seems to
be in the proper mental attitude, con?
fident of hia ability to show the West
something in football.
Penn Not tfc Meet
Lafayette or Green
On'Football Field
Quakers' '22 Schedule Doe?
Not Include Games With
Dartmouth or Eastonians
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 23.?Neither j
Dartmouth nor Lafayette will be on
the 1922 football schedule of the Uni- ,
versity of Pennsylvania, it was an?
nounced to-night by the football com?
mittee. With the exception of one
game the schedule has been completed,
the committee said, adding that Nebras?
ka, Alabama, Florida and half a dozen
other teams were under consideration
for the open date on November 4.
It was also definitely decided by the
committee that the University of Mary?
land would be played on October 14 and
Swarthmore on October 21. The other .
games were announced last Friday.
Concerning Dartmouth the committee
said that it had been found impossible
to find a date that was acceptable to
both teams. In view of the hard sched?
ule, including Pittsburgh, Pennsyl- j
vania State, Navy and Cornell, tho
committee thought it inadvisable to add
Lafayette, It was stated, however, that,
the committee hoped to have both Dart
mouth and Lafayette on the schedule in ;
1923.
Dundee's Title Not in Danger
In Coming Bout With Jackson
I Nevertheless Next Garden '
Bout Should Provide
Abundance of Action
-*
By Fred Hawthorne
The next attraction at the Garden
will be ona of those "half-portion"
championship affairs, with Johnny
Dundee, the junior lightweight title
holder, facing Willie Jackson, of the
Bronx, in the fifteen-round star bout.
Yesterday Tex Rickar.d signed these
boys up for his next boxing soiree, on
Friday night.
This will not be for the champion?
ship, as Jackson v.-ould have to ampu?
tate an arm or a leg in order to come
in at 130 pounds, but it will serve to
show whether Johnny has slipped a cog
or " two since his last meeting- with
Willie, of the Bronx. Some years ago,
as we all remember, Jackson scored a
knockout over Dundee with a more or
lei's lucky punch, and they have boxed
half a dozen times since then, with?
out loosening so much as a single
molar.
Rickard has pulled a good match
here, for both Dundee and Jackson al?
ways inject a lot of action into their ;
work with the gloves. Jackson ?swings
the more deadly wallop, but Dundee is
a hard mark to hit, and the ceaseless
flurry of his own gloves generally
keeps an opponent busy with his own
defense.
A ?ark Affair
Three eight round bouts will naher
1 in the main shindy, and in the semi- |
final it may be a case of "Eight Rounds I
i that Shook the World," for the battlers ?
| will be Kid Norfolk, the "Black Thun- j
j derbolt," and Jamaica Kid, one of
? Jack Dempsey's trainers in the cham
j pion's fight with Willard. Norfolk is j
the colored lightweight champion of I
the world and Jamaica Kid is?awful I
black. * !
Harry London ar.d Willie Spencer,
and Johnny Reisler and Willie K?hler,
featherweights, will be the little ac?
tors in the other two eight-round skit3.
The prices, ladies and gentlemen, will
range from $1 to $5. In going out,
"Seek the exit nearest you" and be
sure you get there first.
All Brooklyn will sleep more soundly
next Monday night, for that evening,
at the Broadway Exhibition Club, Sil
vey Burns, matchmaker, has scheduled
a bout for the welterweight champion?
ship of Brooklyn with Soldier Bart
i'.eld and Phil Bloom a a the conten?
tious parties thereto. Dire threats of
a knockout have been made by both
men, so be prepared for anything.
Johnny Winters and Walter Nelson

Baokward, turn backward, O Time, on your way,
Make me but aoven years old for the day.
]Vipe oiti the years, as they do on the screen,
Where, aa the gathering twilight is gray,
Fantastic shadows will once more careen,
Having to do toith a reindeer and sleigh
(?Long before William S. Hart stood at bay).
Far down the valley of Time I can see
Shining-eyed ghosts of the great Used-to-Be,
Tlmlled to the soul with a vision of light,
Waiting for twilight or darkness to come,
Under the berries of scarlet and white*
Something to shoot?or a sword?or a drum.?
(At seven disarmament gossip is glum).
Seven years old?with the dreams that were his?
Time is a sprinter?FU says that lie is?

Are ghosts of old dreams through the fogs and Vie rains,
Searching and groping for long vanished thrills
(Now given over to quinine and puls).
Leonard and Dempsey
"Isn't Benny Leonard a better all around champion at hi? weight than ?
Dernpsey is'.'" we are asked.
No. Leonard is a better boxer, but not to any overwhelming extent, j
Dernpsey is a first class Jxjxcr and the hardest hitting- heavyweight on j
record.
Leonard isn't. He ean't punch with Gang or McGovern. Staying
the limit with Leonard has been no great trick. Staying the limit with
Dempsey has been an impossibility. No one has done it for three years.
Leonard's challengers aro much closer to the lightweight title than
Dernpsey's challengers are, if there are any.
On Certain. Day*
"Football is .getting to b? mora and more like golf or basebol in
many ways," remarked a well known official some days ago.
"Teams are strong on certain days and far off on others. One of the
greatest teams I S3w all year was Pittsburgh on the day she beat Syra?
cuse 35 to 0, I don't believe a team in the East could have stopped
Warner's machine that day. Harvard against Yale was at least one or
two touchdowns ?tranger than against any other team all fall. The Navy
on the day of its Princeton game would have been unbeatable. What I
liked about Penn State," he concluded, "was its uniform strength all year.''
A few years ago Ferdie Schupp and Walter ?Johnson were permitting
less than one and one-half earned run? a game. Now the pitcher wlio
allows two and one-half runs to the contest is one of the wonders of the
teasou. "Shuffling Phil" Douglas allows four earned runs a game, and
then in a world's series against a slugging team cuts this to littlo more
than nothing. You can fm?uently stumble over a mystery without walk?
ing ten yards.
The time isn't \ery far ?way when universities that fail to enforce
the one-year residence rule will find it impossible to get upon the sched
ules of those that do. This is one sure way to have one of the finest regu?
lations for the good of football ever devised.
And beyond that we can .see the day coming when an athlete will
u$ permitted to battle under the banner of only one institution. If he
deeffies to switch to another, his intercollegiate record will stand com
pleted. This ruling will work its share of hardships, but this is a minor
detail as long as it works for the general good of the sport.
To K. Kringle
/'// be content?bereft of "ifs" and "bats"?
// you'll but leave a putter by the door
That's deadly sure of all the six-font putts
Yea, even those of only three or four.
With ?'fleam laid up again, one wonders whether Yale is to run into
the same fate with this star that the Blue encountered with "Fido" Kemp
ton. Kcmpton was one of the most promising stars of the game before
he dislocated his shoulder.^ "He was as great a prep .?school ?star as I ever
saw," Tad Jones once remarked. Th?: Bulldog could suffer no harder M<>v.
than to have a baekfield product such as O'Hearn on the hospital list most
of the year.
Bill Roper can breathe more comfortably again. No one is saying what
an unbeatable machine he will have next fall.

For Greenleaf
In Cue Tourney
ai
Pocket Billiard Title Holder
Dispose? of Challenger
Easily; Score, 450 to 277
Ralph Greenleaf, pocket billiard
champion of the world, successfully
defended his title in the final (fame of
hi? match against Arthur Woods in the
ballroom of the Astor Hotel Imp! night.
Th?**, final score was 450 to ~~?", and
except for on?? spirited rally by the
challenger, which came nearing the
end, the contest was every bit as one?
sided as the count indicates.
The champion .started the last block
with more than twice the number of
points than his opponent had and there
Was not a moment during the si-, teen
frames played last evening when Wood*
had a ghost of ;i Chance to wrest the
urown from the loeal expert. The
count for the final game was 145 to 58
in favor of Greenleaf.
Woods showed absolutely nothing in
the way of championship caliber ?lur?
ing the early inning?, and "5 of the oK
points which he gathered were made, in
one hand. This run came when Green?
leaf needed only one point, and during
the play Woods made some exception?
ally fine shots, but, barring this spur*,
he was outclassed at every angle, and
it is doubtful if Greenleaf wa.? at his
best.
Both Players Scratch Often
There were numerous scratches and
safeties in the early play. Neither
was willing to take chances, although
Greenleaf's lead, it Deemed' at tune?,
warranted a try for a cal! shot. In the
twenty-second inning ths champion ran
36, which was the best of the evening.
He left the cue ball nt the lower end
of the table flush against the cushion
when he was forced to play safe.
'Most of the thirteen balls on the
table ?vero in cluster, and when Wood
scratched on an attempted sat'etv he
smashed them wide open. Greenlsaef
needed only eight to go out, and he
clinked the ivories merrily until he
reached his seventh, which wa? a*.;
easy cut shot in the upper left pocket.
The object ball dropped, bu the cue
ball took an unexpected kiss and be?
came wedged against the rail with a
ball frozen to and directly in front
of it. Thero was nothing for Greonleal"
to do but play safe, and this he did.
Wood3 had unscrewed his cue, be?
lieving, a3 many others did. that the
match was about to be finished, but the
challenger smiling put the stick in
working order and went back to a
hopeless task. Under the circum?
stances Woods showed courage, for it
was here that he made his run of 35,
during which- time tho baila wero
racked twice.
Tho challenger's best shot of the
evening came when he had run off the
second frame, and was angling for a
nice position shot to get a break when
the balls were once more racked up.
With two balls on the table Woods se?
lected a left upper corner shot from
the center and in making the ball ex?
ecuted a two-cushion reverse English
shot that brought applause from the
crowd.
Woods'? Final Effort Fail?
Woods'a splendid effort resulted in
his obtaining perfect position For the
break, but before he could make any
headway he missed a cut shot in the
lower right-hand pocket, and Grec leaf
went to the table.
Then followed a series of scratches
and safeties, several points being
taken from the score of each player.
Greenleaf was unwilling to risk scat
tcring the bulls and Woods, who hn?l
no chanco to wm, could easily afford
to lose points by forfeit.
The end came a few moments later
when Greenleaf decided to chanco s
difficult combination. The shot was
successful, and with the balls broken
he had little troubie running the flvs
points he needed to win.
