Members of the New York State Athletic Commission are making strenuous efforts to learn if the tJs NEEDS STEADY EDDIE COLLINS r.y JAMES CRUSINIJERRY. There seems to be a feeling of ease and satisfaction on the Yankee baseball club fcince the services of Herb Pennock, de luxe southpaw, were acquired during the last week.

Apparently some of the Yankee officials were of the opinion that nothing was needed to complete the team for the coming pennant race man who calls himself Jack Curley HiI P-r except the presence ot a left-handed slabman.

That wan only one missing cog in the machine. The main trouble with the Yankee outfit is that it has had no balance wheel. Some-times it rather ran riot in the baseball field and sometimes it seemed to run down. It wasn't is associated in the promotion ot some grappling, events slated for the coming week in an uptown armory. Deputy Commissioner Walter Hooke stated that the commission would like to run down the rumors that this man was interested in view of the fact that he has been denied a license.

Matty Zimmerman is the alleged promoter of the show and he admits that he wouldn't know a double wrist lock from a Houdini or a full Nelson from a full moon. He asserts, however, that the man who calls himself Jack Curley is working for him. The man who calls himself Curley is making plaintive appeals for support to this show which is to star a man. who was but recently under surveillance as an alien enemy and oier foreigners who will never become American citizens and whose only idea in sport is to grab the dough aijd voyage homeward. TABERSKI AGREES TO PLAY GREENLEAF Frank Taberski yesterday definitely announced that he is willing to play Ralph Greenleaf for the world's professional pocket billiard championship.

This followed a series of conferences. The match has been expected ever since Taberski retired from tournament competition in 1919 as i the undisputed champion. When it will be staged is problematical, but it is almost certain to be held here. HAGEN TO PLAY IN BRITISH OPEN Los Angeles, Feb. 3.

Walter Hagen, British open golf champion, will defend his title next summer in England and will also make -another effort to win the American open title, he announced today. Hagen said he would return to Los Angeles to live. He has several movie contracts under consideration. i wwii. mm steady.

Col. Huston, one of the tiirhting owners of the machine, know the true condition and is scheming ways and means of procuring the needed balance wheel which would stabilize all the spasmodic power that is in the outfit. ALL FANS are more or less curious over the home run possibilities of "Babe" Ruth in the new Yankee stadium.

The situation, especially in right field, where "Babe" poles most of them, looks interesting. Do your own guessing. 1 1 Wake of the News. By VFPERCVT. M'GRAW DENIES BENTON OFFER No offer of $50,000, as, reported, was made to the St.

Paul American Association Club last summer by the New York Giants for Pitcher "Rube" Benton, according to a cable received from John J. McGraw at the Giant offices. McGraw claims that when the Giants were badly in need of pitoh-er in the middle of the 1922 pennant race he asked Mike Kelly, manager of St. PauL to set a price on Benton, but that Kelly refused to do so. another New York castoff poked out a single which, coupled with Joe Dugan's muff of the throw-in by Bib Falk, gave the Boston club their last two runs.

If there was any mistake about acquiring Falk from the White Sox two weeks ago it certainly was not shown yesterday. What a socking OP balance Wheel. Kddic is just about the neatest Tunning balance wheel in all the baseoall machinery of the present day and if he only could be in-talled into the Yankee high-powered outfit, then one would feel like saying the team was complete. The ileal wasn't made last December because Chicago insisted upon certain players in exchange that the Yanks wouldn't give up. Although the details of the proposed trade never were exposed officially, it is generally understood that Chicago was willing to give up Collins as well as "liib" Falk, corking young outfielder, and Charley Robertson, a promising young pitcher, for Bob Meusel, Aaron Ward and Waite lloyt.

Til'd Have Done It. At the time the negotiations were on Col. Huston took no part, as he thought he was retiring from H1L0V How About This? If we were positive that George Hildebrand is to be the umpire behind the plate when the Yankees open their 1923 season simultaneously with the christening of their new stadium in the Bronx on April 18, then the task of predicting the outcome of their game against the Boston Red Sox would be made doubly difficult. It would require a concentrated and comprehensive study of meteorological phenomena peculiar to the middle of April and allowances must be made for the day to become suddenly dark while the sun is still shining. Ban May Cut In.

Then, too, Ban Johnson's autocratic whims must be taken into consideration. It might appear to the average fan who attended the opening game that the Y'anki won, 8 to 3, but next morning it night be reported that because Babe Ruth's new cap didn't quite fit his moon-shaped head two runs had been deducted by Mistar Ban. So it will appear obvious that attempting to predict the score vi the opening game is tough; the result depends not only upon the sxill of the two teams but upon sundry other contingencies. But we're willing take a chance, despite what Messrs. Johnson and -Hildebrand might do.

the youngster gave Mr. Quinn. In the second inning he whaled the ball into the right field stands with one on and he made two eingles. Eddie Collins, who also came to the Yanks in the same deal which brought Falk, smashed out ajieat double in the eighth and he accept the game. Had he been present the deal might have been made then, but his partner, Col.

Poor Babe. But it was a poor day for Ruth.

Undoubtedly Chicago is willing to go through yet with the original proposition, so there is a good chance that the de-eired balance wheel may be obtained when the American League magnates get together in Philadelphia on Feb.

ID. Col. Ruppert stated that negotiations would be resumed at this session. Chicago is building up a new baseball machine and is willing to part with such an important wheel as Collins because he is well along toward the end of his career. Perhaps he may have no more than two or three good years of baseball left in him.

But those two or three years would be worth a lot to New York, Miller. 4 13 2 OiDuean 3h 5 12 3 1 Bums lb 4 1 14 0 E.C'linsSb 5 0 17 0 F-wsfrtb 4 0 2 7 liKuth rf 4 112 0 ln3t 4 0 0 3 3 1 2 14 0 JCUinsrf 4 0 0 0 OiKalkJf 4 2 3 0 0 Mit. lss 3 0 18 1 Scott 89 3 0 0 0 0 Ruel 3 0 0 3 OjSvhan? 3 115 0 Quinn. 2 0 0 3 OiBusU 3 0 0 0 0 Skinner 1110 0 K'rc'aonp 0 0 0 0 0 Totals 34 8 12 44 1 Totals 34 3 7 43 21 batteU for Quinn in eighth.
