Ty Cobb, upon his return from France a few days ago, raised the question of free agent. He assert- ed that the Detroit club po longer held a claim op. him and that he was free to deal with the highest bidder for his services. However, Cobb will find it difficult to "deal with any club owner. The same is true of other players. Because of the position he occupies in baseball as a drawing card Cobb may be able to force terms to suit his demands, but lesser lights will be less for. tunate. I HY Noman nd Hit LLL STON From what is heard, the new oIf- side area of forty feet in centre-ice that is in vogue in the N.H.L. this season is not a good chamge, The distance is not lange enough, If the N.HL. clubs are endeavoring to nild a game that is attractive to the fans---and they claim they are trying to do this--then they Rad better adopt the style. ------------------------ Advance In Golf Sticks. : J.

Nye honorary secretary of 'the mes Amateur Rowing Conncil, h includes representatives of all i leading rowing clubs and regattas on -the Thames, has called a meet- ing early in the new year, to discuss the question of rowing and regattas for the coming season. It is ex- pected that the stewards of Henley 4th. Royal Regattas will make an early move with an announcement as to the future of that historical event, so that the way may be left clear for the arrangement of an attractive pro- gramme of regattas for next summer. In the meantime, tHE Marlow regatta 1 omiitice are anxious to arrange for gatta next year, at which it is posed to provide racing for public act fours. Wouldn't Risk Cash, ' According to » writer in the Lon-{' don Times, thousands of the people of Berlin 'and its suburbs visited the Karishorst race tourse on Sunday, November 10th---the day after e soldiers and police had submitted to. the workmen who were on strike, to whom the Socialist Liebknecht had delivered an oration from the ex- kaiser's balcony at the castle, and the day before the armistice--and the on'y reason why there was no racing was because there could be no bet- ting, owing to the managers of the totalizator having refused to drive through Berlin in charge of $250,000 in cash. \FRANK NIGHBOR | » A ------------------ Montreal, which will be form- e coming year.
