The days of Max C'arov. Pirate
center fielder and captain, as a mem
ber of the Pittsburgh team are
numbered. Barney Dreyfuss has
intimated in Pittsburgh that Carey
will not play lor his .-team next
year, and Max has let it be known
that nothing would please him bet
ter than to be traded. Despite the
tact that bcoops hit over .300 last
season and still managed to steal 37
bases, Pittsburgh fans believe the
veteran fly-chaser is near the end of
his career. Carey's legs bothered
him a good bit last season, and at
other times Max was in poor health.

Fans at Elks' Boxing Show-
Mandell Wins
To Herbie Schaffer, Chicago, and
Buddie Taylor, Terra Haute, Ind.,
goes thes credit of writing success on
the Elks boxing card last night.
These skeeters didn't hurl a pair
of gloves in their 10-rOund draw;
they whirled a bushel full. They
fought game and clean and their
pleasing performance repeatedly
brought round after round of cheer
from some 2.200 fistic bugs.
Sammy Mandell, the tiger from
Rockford, III., wore down Sammy
Frager of Brooklyn, N. Y., in four
rounds in the bout scheduled to be
the stellar attraction. It was stopped
by Referee Ed Smith with the fifth
coming up.
Devine Kayoed.
Frager was put out of the running
by a straight jab which cut a deep
gash inside his mouth and which
bled so profusely that in two rounds
the ring' was taking on the aspect
of a sanguine battlefield.
Bob Deyine, who hails from bonny
ol' Scotland, kissed the rosin in the
ninth round after Tommy Comiskey,
St. Paul middleweight, had worn
him down with left jabs to the jaw.
But let it' be said of the native
from the Johnny Walker country
that he was game throughout. He
has a steel jaw, a cast iron solar
plexus and an otherwise rugged
physique, for he stopped wicked
swings time after time and came
back for more.
Devine was floored in the fifth,
twice in the sixth and once in the
eighth before ' going down in the
ninth.
Fought Like a Tiger.
But back to the skeeters.
Schaffer was fighting his third
professional fight, but never would
one think that the Chicagoan was
a novice.
Schaffer and Taylor came out of
their corners fighting in the initial
round and in the tenth they looked
like they would like five more to
taper oft in.'
Taylor put up a tiger attack a
vicious, springing, slashing sort.
Young Schaffer emulated Wood
row Wilson by adopting "a watch
ful waiting" policy. This isn't to
say he wasn't a willing mixer and
didn't carry the fight, but all the
time he had that powerful trip ham
mer blow ready to turn lose.
' Taylor would shade Schaffer in a
round and then Schaffer would turn
the tables on him in the next. Then
Draft Discussed on Opening
Of Major League Meeting-
26 Circuits
BUFFALO, N. Y., Dec. 6. Twenty-six minor league cir
cuits, embracing 170 club3, "Were represented at the an
nual meeting of the National Association of Profes
sional Base Ball Leagues here today. It was said to be one
of the largest gatherings in the history of the association.
The annual address of President Michael Sexton, the report
of Secretary John H. Farrell, the election of officers and
amendments to the constitution were on the program.
The possible return to the draft
whereby the majors can draw on the
minors for rew playing material was
one of the chief topics of discussion
before the delegates. Among the
three big minor leagues classified as
AA, and including the new interna
tional, the American association and
Max Carey Go
i-icquemly during the heat of the
pennant race, when the Giants and
Pittsburgh were see-sawing for the
lead, Carey was in the game when
he should have been in bed. Drey
fuss has sent out feelers to other
clubs asking what they will give up
for the former speed boy of the Na
tional league. Despite the fact that
most players regard a transfer to
St. Louis as a sentence, Carey is
most anxious to be traded to the
Cardinals. ' St. Louis is Max's home
town, and he also considers the
Cards as probable pennant winners
in the National league next season.
i ti r
on Technical Kayo
there would be a round in which
they mixed it for dear life without
either getting the edge.
So such was the fight, through 10
joyful stanzas.
Mandell, who fought here a year
ago, showed a great improvement in
fighting form. He has perfected the
panther attack now stepping in,
then out and always landing with
precision.
Frager Was Game.
Frager was a game lad, but he
lacked the class of his opponent
and he paid for it. After opening a
painful cut in Frager's" mouth in
the second round he kept jabbing
into the molars and the fifth round
undoubtedly would have been a mas
sacre had not the referee stopped it,
. And in telling of the fight last
night, it would hardly be possible to
overlook the work of the referee.
His generalship added 50 per cent to
the bouts and he had the boys mill
ing all the time and breaking at his
command. He never had to touch a
boxer to secure a break.

Race Meeting
The second annual Ak-Sar-Ben

The eight-day meeting Iat sum
mer was a success from every angle
and went over with such a blast that
a 13-day meet was arranged for this
coming summer. Several members
of the Ak-Sar-Bcn board were in
favor of a 20-day meet this year.
However, the 1923 meeting may be
lengthened should this coming run
ning meet be a success.

Melady Accepts Rickard's
Terms for Caddock to Meet
. Stecher in Madison Garden
TEX RICKARD, who is waging a battle with Jack Curley
for supremacy in the rough and tumble sport around
New York, is about to put over a match between Earl
Caddock, Walnut, la., and Joe Stecher, Dodge, Neb.
This contest should prove the "battle of the century" in
the grappling ranks, for Caddock and the Nebraskan are the
most popular wrestlers in the game today.
ucne Mciady, lauuock s mana
ger, has accepted the New York
promoter's offer and the only thing
which remains for the match to he
complete is for Stecher to sign his
name to a contract.
Caddock's acceptance of Tex's
terms goes to show the fans in the
mid-west that the lowan is not un
der the control of the Curley re
gime, as has been charged since the
wrestling trust has been exposed.
According to Caddock. Stecher
has been side-stepping him for some
time. The match will mean a large sum
to both grapplers.
Mciady says Kickard figures that
the contest should draw 25,000 or
more, which would be the largest
wrestling crowd ever packed into
Madison Garden.
Ruth's Suspension
Is Blow to Yankees
Sultan of Swat's Chances of
Breaking Homer Record
In 1922 Slim.
New York, Dec. 6. "Babe" Ruth's
base ball employers today admitted
that the sultan of swats suspension
by Judge Landis will in all proba
bility prevent him getting any new
home run records next year.
Col. Jacob Ruppert, president! of
the New York American league
club, would not, however, comment
on the likelihood of its operating
against Ruth's anticipated higher sal
ary demand, based on the proposition
that the other clubs of the league con
tribute a part of Ruth's salary in
view of the fact they share largely
in the receipts piled up through the
home run king's qualities as an at
traction. The season starts the middle of
April and Ruth will be penalized
more than a month next season in his
endeavors to break last season's four
base hit mark. '
In addition to setting Ruth back in
his hitting activities the suspension
will be a blow to the Yankees, not
only in playing strength, but also
in the gate receipts.
