This is MrGrnw’s reply to Pat Maron's ilollar-waving campaign in the general direction of all minor league club owners, a campaign that lias seen the Iteds line up Tom Sheehan of SI. Paul, said jn he the best pitelier ill the American asso-. elation last season, and .lake May, (lie Vernon left-hander, for whom, the Yaiikcw angled in vain. Only a few days ago, McGraw gave $50,000 and several ball players for Wayland Dean, Louisville pitcher, lie did not desire Wayland very much, but really had his hand forced by the fact that the Iteds were hot after him. With the best pitching staff in the National league—Luque, Rlxey, Don ahue and Renton—the Reds have add ed May, Sheehan and Carl Mays, for mer Yankee, and Mcflraw saw a vision of the 1924 pennant fluttering in Cincinnati unless he claimed Dean as his own. Meantime, the Pittsburgh Pirates, the third of three possible contend ers, are doing nothing. They seem to have stepped aside ill favor of the Giants and Reds as contenders for tlie 1921 pennant. Bryan Discharges Woman Registrar Lincoln, Jan. 7.—Miss May F. Hy land, appointee to the1 position of re gistrar of vital statistics under the previous state administration, is no longer on the state payroll. After she had not appeared in her office for some time, newspaper men today ask ed Governor Bryan if she had been discharged in line with his policy of 1 economy in the code departments. : Her position had been eliminated, he •' said. $3,000 Fire Damages North Platte Church North Platte, Neb..

Giant Flayers Sign Contracts New York, Jan. 7.—The New York Giants announced today two veterans cf the pitching staff had signed 1924 contracts.

VS rtUjUMf, ' W.’-AwLlfFES > RECCBJ> So one of onr talented young up starts has come abreast of one of the immortals. Rogers Hornsby has tied Ilonus Wagner's four consecu tive iiatting championships. Hornsby lias tied AVagner in this respect, but the Cardinal crack Isn't exactly an immortal yet. AA'agner led the National league nine times liefore ho threw his glove In the hamper for good. That's five mori targets for Mr. Hornsby to per forate before he can stand before the Flying Dutchman, John McGraw's choic e as the greatest of players. And Ty Cobb has scissored out ample employment for Mr. Hornsby's slugging moments. Cobb led the American league twelve times, nine of them being successive champion ships! I doubt that Hornsby will ever see 12 championships, let alone five more successive hatting blue ribbons. | He doesn't strike me as another Wag rier or Cobb, good as he is. However, the modernists are cut ting in on the old masters with no little success lately. Babe Ruth's 59 homers in 1921 smashed nil long dis tance banging since statisticians be gan to unearth and to preserve rec ords. George Klsler came near booking another one for the current run of diamond stars. But the fates relented and permitted the one and only “Wee Willie’’ Keeler to still reign In the hitting ' safely In consecutive game*. Keeler made his mark—54—In 1897. Sislcr put over 41, topping Cobb s 40. Twenty six years Is a long, w hile to shoot at that mark. But then 44 games Is a long stretch of games to bat safely in! Perhaps the greatest feat of the modernists in recent years was the hurdle record established (ids year by Charlie Brookins, the wonderful Iowa university star. Brookins managed to break Kraenzlin's 220-yard low hurdle record, a mark that has resisted the efforts of our best athletes for 21 years. Kraenzlin's lime was 23 3-5 seconds. Brookins clipped a fifth of a sec ond front it. Think of the thousands of hurdlers who have topped the ob stacles In a quarter of a century and you will realize the immensity of Brookins' a- complishment. That is the only way you can visualize It. Now that skating holds the sport public s attention, it is interesting to remark that the younger generation is having plenty of trouble erasing old time record exploit*. Joe IJonohue lias passed away, but Newbury folks will never let Joe's memory wither. They talk about him today as if Joe were entered in one Jack Lawler, Omaha to Fight in St. Louis St. Louis, Mo..

When ring fans disagree over the form nt boxers they often seek to ex plain superior greatless in the length of time the rivals have lasted. This is interesting, but not convincingly important. But, being interesting. let's have it. John L. Sullivan seems to have the call here. Sullivan lasted 10 years (1881-1892). While champion he fought something like 78 battles. He won 6-1 by knockouts. As a prolific fistlcuffer Sullivan was never equaled.
