He said. if the Government | would raise its ban on these pictures + he would donate his share tothe { mercy. organization. Willard also took some of the edge off a "million-dollar" championship (battle. when he stipulated that the |. bout he has broposed must be for ll. ten rounds with no decision attach- i ed He prefers that it be staged in 'one of the Chicago baseball parks, but has no objectidh®*to some other ldrge city The champion also suggested that fl a committee of five newspaper men li should select his opponent. fli BARROW FOR BOSTON JOB. i ll: Former Leaf Leader is Business Head | of Red Sox. i According to advices from Chicago | Ed Barrow. former Toronto mana- ll! ger. who recently resigned as presi- dent of the International League fol- ll' lowing a cut of $5,000 in salary, will , be made vicgpresident,and general { manager of the Boston Red Sox in imntediate future This 'meve | fias been pending for some time--in fact, the wheels were set in motion fl! as soon as Barrow resigned from the lI!

If Barrow goes to Boston to take charge this would enable 'Harry. §razee, president of the club, tq devote all of his Time to his theatrical interests. In_big league circles, it is said that the appointment of Barrow would mean that he would become the active manager of the team, succeeding Bar- ry, who enlistell in the United States Naval Reserve, Holding managerial reins would, not be new to Barrow. SAY WILLARD IS INSINCERE. Champion is Accused of Ignoble Use of Red Cross. The boxing fans and sporting writ- ers of New York are peeved at Jess Willard, whose offer to come out-of the circus business long -enough to | box for the Red Cross was generally ] | lauded only a few days ago. It was ll it first believed that Willard's offer ji meant that he was ready to take on li any man selected to box for the HH worias champiofship without quali- fication ow, lo and behold, comes the story that Jess only wants to box some one a ten-round, no-decision |} bout He is said to desige to run it ll} himself, and dictate all conditions for the match and is being ridiculed by the sporting writers, who ®Rim to see in his ammouncement only a desire for some-chedp advertising at the expense of the worlil's greatest philanthropic organization Ottawa Hockey Player Killed.

INVOLVES CHAS. HERZOG Giants, Cubs and Braves En- gineering "Swaps" Which Include Many Changes. : A three-corpered deal between the New York Giants, the Chicago Cubs and the Boston Braves, involving Charlie Herzog, the Giants disgrunt- led second-sacker, is in course of fruition. George Stallings wants to land Herzog for the Braves, and has been told by McGraw that if the Bos- ton manager can conclude a deal now pending between the Boston and Chi- cago Cubs, Herzog will be released to the Braves.. McGraw wants a certain unnamed Chicago player and a right-hand pit- cher now with Boston, and if the pre- sent plan works out these players will be traded for Herzog, Stallings first making a trade with the Cubs that will give him the player wanted by McGraw and givé Fred Mitchell a Boston player whom Mitchell has tried fo get 'several times since he became manager of the Cu tall- ings is willing to give up a pit- cher for an infielder and Je arnes has been mentioned as the boxman wanted by McGraw. Whether the deal goes through or not, Herzog will not be a miember of the New York team next year. Eddie Collins now denies the re- port that he intends to enlist and says 'he will on the job with the White Sox as USual next season. The N.H.L. opening games show- ed the weakness of the teams and {the managers will now have a chance to strengthen up the weak spots. The Ottawa alibi is easy. Darragh and Shore were hold-outs long enough for the Canadiens to get a big lead on the Senators. If Ed Barrow is to manage the Red Sox next year he'll have to join the U.S.. navy. Most of the players will be there. ' An Ohio prize-fight was called off the other night because there was no coal to heat the hall. They might have started a fire by chipping some splinters off the boxers' heads. CICOTTE LEADS JOHNSON. Champion White Sox Have Pitchers in First Seven. Eddie Cicotte, who did so much to help the Chicago White Sox win the American League pennant and then the world's championship, head- ed the list of winning pitchers in the American League this year, accord- ing to the official averages just issued. He won 28 games and lost 12 for the low average of 1.33 earned runs per game He pitched in 49 games altogether and 346 innings, a higher number than any other pitcher in the league and he held his opponents to 76 runs, of which 59 were earned . On top oi this he struck out 150 men, and in this respect also led all others, while he gave only 70 bases on balls and made only one wild pitch. Altogether he established a striking record and one which put him far above Walter Johnsen of Washing- ton for this year at least. As a matter of fact Johnson was less cffective this Fok than the prg- vious seasons, and sgands eighteenth on the list, with an average of 230 earned runs per game. He won 23 games and lost 16. Next to Cicotte, Carl Mays of the Boston Red Sox and Eddie Plank of the St. Louis Browns were the mbst effective of the American Ledgue pitchers last season, while "Stanley Coveleskie of Cleveland, Jim. Scott, Urban Faber and Eddie Russell of Chicago were close on their heels. All six held opponents te less than two earned runs per game. Dependable pitching had much to 'do with winning a pennant for the White. Sox, as the official figures strongly testify. The Chicago team has four men in the first seven. " Willard's Cheap Advertising. American critics are very sore on Jess Willar® who claim to se in his announcement to box for the Red (ross only a desire for some cheap adbertising at the expense of - the world's greatest philanthropic organi- zation. © One paper recalls Willard's antics when the Cited States eater ed the war. The champion then at- ten:pted to enlist, knowing that vn- der army regulations he could aot be zckepted by reason of his height, but when, in order to give Willard a chance, the War Department offered to make an exception in his case the champion deftly sile-stepped. Now, liaving made an offer to box for the henebt of the Red Cross, Willard is said to be depreciating the value of his, offer by two-thirds. A real championship bout with: the title at stake and for the greatest charity on earth, would be worth at least half a million dollars. If a ten-round, no- decision bout between Willard and Fulton drew one-third of this sum it would be astounding. Battery Team.
