jWhen Interviewed This
Afternoon, Athletics'
Chieftain Declares He
Would Not Accept Offer.
HIGH-WATEB BAM, PRICES
The highest price ever paid for a
baseball player up to the time of thn
"Bddle" Collins aal, eald to be ,50,000,
was $E.OO, which Fred Clarke, of
Pittsburgh, pild out for Marty O'Toola.
"Charley" Ebbetts wan to pay 125,000
for "Joe" Tinker and he did hand over
dome tutooo or J15.0CO of the amount
to a or rr Herrminn. Other rocord
prices paid tor ball players are.
Lorry Chlppolle, bought by Chicago
Americans from Milwaukee American
Association club for JIAVOOO.
"Lefty" Rurncll, boucht by Phila

"Huba" Marqtlard, bought by New
Tork Nationals from Indlnuapolls
American Association club for JU.OOO.
"Cy" Seymour, boucht by Now Tork
i Nationals from Cincinnati for $10,000.
"Spike" Shannon, bought by New

Betides the tSO.000 In cash. It Is
understood that "Charier" Comlskey
will give Connie Hook two players In
exchange for Collins.
"I would not nocept the nanosershlp
of the New Tork Americana If it were
elffsred to me, and It hasn't been offered."
This slatament was made by Connie

dispelled any such Idea when he declared
that ha wouM not be the "Yankee" man
ager if It were tendered him.
Obviously it Mack Intended to sell his
interest in the Athletics he would have
done so before ho asked waivers on
Bender, Flank and Coombs. With those
players as assets he could have obtained
far more for his CO per cent, of tho Ath
lotlo stock than he can today when
Bender and Flank havo Jumped to the
Federal League and "Bddle" Collins has
been sold to the "White Socks."
Another matter must be considered
when Alack is spoken of as the fu
ture "Yankee" leader. He would have
made an attempt to fft as many of his
own players on the roster of the
"Yankeos" as possible. If he thought there
-n-ns a chance that he would manage
them. But ho hasn't done this, hence It
Is sclf-ovldent that there- Is In Mack's
mlnd no intention of golnc to New York.
NEW TORK, Dec. S, Connie Mack
will manarfo the New ToVk Yankees

Charles Comlskey went from this city

surprising to learn that he will spend a

CHICAGO, Deo. i-in Informal an
nouncement that Eddie Collins, former
second baseman, of the Athletics, was to
manage the Chicago Americans next year
was made last night by James Callahan,
for three years manager ot the club. Cal
lahan, while avoiding any explicit decla
ration. Issued a statement wishing Col
lins success In handling th White Sox
next year.
"I want to wish Eddla Collins a world
of success and hop he wins a world's
championship next year," said Calla
han. "He will strengthen, a spot in our
line-up that has been lamentably weak
for years.
"At this time I cannot say offletally that
laddie will manage the Whit Sox next
year. Such a statement will have to oome

cate Revision in Rules and
Scoring Methods Now.
Mention has been made In these col
umns of tho fact that women golfers, for
natural reasons, should be stronger In
the short game thnn In other departments
of golf, but aro not. Due consideration
of the. subject brings out the fact that
it is in the restrained shots that men, as
welt as women, are weakest. This Is
more true of putting than it la of ap
proaching. The only answer le practice, and one
could do no better than to follow tho
method used by Walter J. Travis. As
every one knows, Travis is a marvelous
putter, and In practice he uses a liolo
about half tho regulation size. In play
tho actual cup looks to bo the size of a
bucket, compared with the one he had
beon using, and Travis Is forever holding
sizable putts, generally to the consterna
tion of his opponent
A special meeting of the members ot

A MUSIVERSICLE "TRY IT ON YOUR PIANO."
ACCEPT MANAGERSHIP
PERSONAL TOUCHES
IN SPORTS
According to the opinion of many who
closely follow baseball doings, Connie
Mack will not manage the New York
Yankees next year. Tho reports hnvo
It that Mack will do so, but many are
Inclined to think otherwise. All of which
go to mnko up a cry nppeallng conun
drum for tho hot-stove league membcrn
to solve.
Here's another puzzler. Ono New York
writer ndvances the Interesting Informa
tion that the "Eddie" Collins deal may
bring him to New York. This Is how
tho writer puts It:
"It ts still tho opinion ot many shrewd
baseball men that the dicker by which
'Bddle' Collins become tho property of
Chnrlcs Comlskey yesterday Is merely a
preliminary step toward eventually trans
ferring 'Eddie' to the Yanks; that It ts
the beginning of n three-cornered deal
which will land the famous second base
man In New York as a manager.
"It Is their belief that a number of the
present Yankeo players will figure In
the deal before It Is finally concluded,
and that some of them will turn up at
the opening of tho 1815 season In Ath
letic uniforms, being transferred to Con
nie Mock via tho White Sox."
Thus you see other great baseball
bombs ore likely to startle you at any
time when they explode.
The graduates of the University or
Pennsylvania are in favor of retaining
Oeorge Brooke as coach of the football
team next year. At the New York
meeting of the alumni yesterday they
agreed to stand by Brooke. The action
of the players against the coach was
denounced In the strongest terms. The
former students at Penn thought the
players had overstepped their bounds.
Dr. Albert II. Sharps has been signed
to coach Cornell's athletlo teams for five
years. It Is the wish ot his many friends
that he serve Ave additional ones and
after that, many more.
Here' another poetic effulgence from th
pen of Walter Trumbull:
TUB CULPRIT.
The magnates glared at him; Indeed,
Portentous was their frown;
For at a meeting of tha league
He'd run a rumor down.

Secretary Kalbfua rank second to none In

Tha flrst story was printed on .Monday.
Football players have given tackles prefer

it '
was the dolnas. one mleht aav. nf un
controllable freshmen," waa the term used by
Sir Mingle "George Brooke waa one of the
greatest football players who ever represented
the University of Pennsylvania, and that he
was not ono ot her best roaches was not his
fault We consider the showing made by the
Penn teim this J car all that could be expected
under the circumstances. Mr, Brooke had under
hi charge mostly green players men who
moro than likely will next 3 ear prove stars of
the first calibre. But because they were un
lessoned this fall Penn had an off season. This
cannot be laid at the door of their coach, for
he did the best that waa poeslble. Kven now
mnet of our alumni do not believe that the
Penn plavers havo expressed disapproval of
Mr. Brooke's methods. Personally. I believe
tho matter waa much exaggerated, but. never
theless. It Is a certainty, In our opinion, that
Ueorge Brooke will be directing the affairs ot
the Penn varsity eleven again next year."
