IvEEX United Press Staff Correspondent. London, Oct. 25. Irish peace delegates today declared the crisis in negotiations was British delegates said there was some improvement but that the situation was still serious.

The question raised by De Valera's telegrar to the Pope reiterating that Ireland considers itself independent i was still before the conferees today. Michael Collins of the Sinn Fein delegation engaged In much verbal fencing when he was asked directly whether the Sinn Feiners would repudiate De Valera's telegram. He contended this question was too broad and demanded a definition. Therefore LIMBERS UP YOUR SORE STIFF JOINTS TT7TATHER exposure and hard yy work bring paiiw and aches ia muscles and Joints.

THIRD TIME FOR SALLEE. This is tthe third year that Slim Sallee has been among those present in a tussle for the title.

After knocking around in the mjiors and majors for many years Sallee horned into his first world series, as a member of the Giants in 1917. Serving thru 1918 with the Giants Sal retired at the close of the season, but was urged to reconsider the matter of his retirement and sign with the Reds in the spring of 1919. That year, clue in a great measure to Sallee's pitching, the Reds won the pennant and got Into the series. i Last summer the veteran left hander drew his unconditional release from the Cincinnati club, and a few days later caught on with the Giants.

New Manager Already Talked of Among Yank Following. Babe Ruth, Eddie Collins and Roger Peckinpaugh Mentioned as Possible Successor to Present Pilot. By HEXRT1. FAKREL.I. United Press Staff Correspondent.

New York, Oct. 25 Miller Iluggins piloted th Yankees to the American League championship and ran the world series to eight games before he dropped out. Other managers would have been given credit for a pennant even if they should have won. But not so-with the former Cincinnati star. Huggins still is being pasted by New York fans.

It isn't usual for a pennant winning manager to be recommended for the "gate" but that is Hug's share of the laurels. New managers already are teing talked of among the Yank following. Some say it be Babe Ruth who will have the pleasant task of signing a new contract this year. Others have it that Eddie Collins will come from the White Sox in a trade to succeed the present pilot. Still others have the dope that Roger Peckinpaugh, whose wobble lost the last game of the series, is to be the new pilot.

Even while the ser ies was on, these stories were fanned about It even was said that Hug had agreed to manage the St. Louis Cardinals late in the'race last year when he was almost forced to resign by an insurrection of the players. After the second western trip the club had started, it was and it seemed quite apparent; that Huggins was manager in name only. He never appeared on the field and Ruth and Peckinpaugh did most of the directing. Huggins contract has expired.

i FOOTBALL PROSPECTS LOOKING UP AT K. U. Team 50 Per Cent Stronger In Ames Game, Contest With Assies Next Saturday to Be Hammer, With Shade in Favor of 3Ianhattan. Lawrence, Kan Oct. 24.

(Special) Has the Jajhawk found himself? This is the question K. U. football fans are pondering this week, following the triumph of Coach Clark's at Ames last Saturday. For the follow ers of the Kansas team were far from confident before last week's battle with the Iowa team and many were frankly urprised at the Jayhawk The team that played the heavy Ames eleven to a standstill thruout the entire game Saturday presented an altogether different appearance from the team the local fans remember as having taken a beating from Drake here two weeks ago. Both on the offensive and defensive, the Jayhawk machine that defeated Ames was UO per cent better than the one humbled by the Pes Moines eleven a week before.

The question In the minds of the K. U. fans now Is whether the Kansas eleven will show the same class against the Kansas Aggies next Saturday as they did against the Ames team. The "Aggies will come to Lawrence fresh from their unexpected victory over the Missouri Tiger, and will be pointing for a triumph over their time-honored enemy, the Jayhawk. Whether the aerial attack with which they scored against the Missouri team In the last few minutes of play last Saturday will prove as effective against the Jayhawk is a matter of question.

The Kansas team worked smoothly in their defense against an air game that was launched by Ames In the last part of Saturday's game, breaking up more than half of the tosses attempted by the Iowa team. "On paper" the two teams seem about equal, altho the fact that the Aggies defeated the strong Missouri eleven might give them the shade. Oi the other hand, the Jayhawk has a jinx of long standing over the Aggie Fchool, and has defeated Manhattan teams time and again when the dope was all the other way. Coach Clark gave his regulars a light workout tonight, running them thru dummy scrimmage with th Freshman eleven for thirty minutes, devoting the rest of the practice period to Fignal work. The second string Varsity was worked In a stiff scrimmage against the Freshman eleven for more than an hour.

OLD TIME BASEBALL FAN ASKS IF PITCHERS REALLY CAN THROW CURVE BALLS In the opinion of that eminent oc togenarian fan and former Tammany boss, Richard Croker, baseball has be come so scientific It Isn't as interest ing as it used to be. He recalls the lays when a team was thought to be off Its feed If it didn't make eighteen or twenty runs In the course of a game. He thinks farther back than that, to the days when you had to hit runner with the ball in order to put him out. and on the whole he believes that those were the spiciest days of all. -Baseball." said Croker, -has got to be very scientific.

The batters look 6trong. but they don't seem to be able to hit the ball the way they did years back. I'm told the development of pitching is to blame for that. Is it true that they can really curve the ball, so that it starts in a certain di rection, ana tnen swings on in an other? -When I played, sixty or seventy years ago," Croker smiled, "the ball was rubber. We cut it out of rubber car springs.

You know the cars and wagons had a big rubber spring under ueath. When a spring was torn out and laid aside it still had a lot of good rubber left, and tin loys would take their jackknives and whittle a piece of rubber until it was pretty round There were nine players on a side and three bases, just as there are now, but a batter or runner wasn't out until he was hit with the ball. It was part of the runner's job to dodge the ball as he ran around the bases. We used to throw it pretty hard, too, and some times getting hit with It was pretty serious. "When I first came to New York we used to go out into the country to play lall.

Come to think of it, I believe we used to rlay just about where the Savov hotel is now. Then my family moved to what Is now 110th street near KIghth avenue. That was the village of Manhattanville then. There were four villages on the upper part of the Island Manhattanville and Carmen vllle on the west dde, then Harlem on the flats and Yorkville on the east tide. "I must have played with the Man hattanville team, tho as a matter of fact there weren't many of what you would call regular teams, i The boys just went out intothe fields and chose up sides, like this." Croker with his two hands imitated the fist over fist motion, whereby mil lions of boys clutching a baseball bat have decided the personnel of heroic combat.

He laughed as the old memories came flooding back, then said -Don't you think I'm right? They're too scientific nowadays:" ELECT FOOTBALL CAPTAIN Keece Cave. Hays, Kan to Head K. U. Freshman Team. Lawrence, Kan Oct.

24 (Special Recce Cave, Hays. today was captain of the 1921 freshman football team at the University of Kansas. Cave plays a tackle on the yearling jjuad. He played two years with the 'Hays Normal team and was captain-elect of this year's team at the Hays school when he decided to come to "ate Everu Mear ill I miiM! in Archie Walker, Former Amateur Light weight Champ, Will Endeavor to Solve Problem Soon. Whether-the ring offers more ad vantages than a business career is a problem that Archie Walker, former amateur lightweight champion, will endeavor to solve during the iyext few montns.

Walker, an employe of a prominent Wall street firm, has a bright future down in the financial district. He also Is a crack boxer, and he believes he has championship possibilities. Whether to stick to the slow and con servative methods of business or to take a chance on the uncertainty of a ring career was the question. Archie solved the matter by obtaining a leave of absence from his em ployer. He promised to make good in the ring during the next six months or give up all thought of boxing.

Altho Walker is only nineteen vears old his ring career has been a long one. It began when he was fourteen years old. At that early age he won the Metropolitan championship in New lorK tne ius pouna uivision Archie was a particularly well devel oped lad, and by purloining a pair of his fathers trousers he was able to pass muster. Since then he has won titles in each class up to the lightweight division In all, Walker took part in over 200 bouts, many of them being held in Boston and Pittsburgh rings. He lost only four decisions.

ALGER SHOWS HIS CLASS AND BIDS FOR LEONARD'S FISTIC TITLE, SAYS GIBSON Who will take Benny Leonard's place when the lightweight champion retires or steps into the welterweight class, as he is likely to do if he wins the title from Jack Britton? Ever since Leonard announced that he was think ing of quitting the ring while he still wore the crown, Billy Gibson, his man ager, has been looking for the man with the best chance to become his successor. After trying out several youngsters, Gibson hit upon Benny Valger as the most likely prospect valger was a near featherweight when Gibson assumed the reins over him. Of late Benny has taken on weight. In a bout with Joe Benjamin at one of the open air clubs several months1 ago Valger broke his left hand. The long layoff that resulted has been beneficial to him, enabling him to build up and take on weight that he badly needed in or der to cope with his heavier rivals.

As a featherweight Valger beat Johnny Kilbane, Jde Lynch, Andy Chaney, George Chaney, Pete Hartley and Joe Tiplitz among Since joining forces with Gibson he has had but one setback, which was the affair with Benjamin, in which he injured his hand. Valger checked the winning career of another rising lightweight when he took the measure of Johnny Mendel sohn. The latter had beaten Ritchie Mitchell and was looked upon as the best prospect in the middle west until Valger made a show of him at Mil waukee. Charley White, the Chicago thumper, was another of Valger's victims. The man who has faced more champions than any other lightweight now in the ring was completely baffled by Val ger's speed.

Pal Moran, who had established a big reputation down in New Orleans, where he had boxed draws with Johnny Dundee and Eddie Fitzsimmons and had beaten Charley White, was easy for Valger, who won fourteen of the fifteen rounds. Over in Philadel phia, Rocky Kansas ran second to Val ger, altho the Buffalo Italian had a ery big advantage in the weight. alger knows more about the scien tific side of boxing than any light weight with the exception of the cham pion. All he lacks is the weight neces sary to make him effective against the heavier men that make up the lightweight division. Valger's rivals among the younger set are far from being numerous.

Just at present Sailor Friedman of Chicago is regarded as a prospect, and Lew Tendler of Philadelphia is another who could claim the title if Leonard were to retire undefeated. Judging by the results of recent bouts between them Tendler and Friedman are about equal in ability. STARS BACK IN GAME Princeton, N. Oct. 25 Don Lourie and Hank Garrity, Princeton's pair of star back field men, are ready to play Saturday against Virginia.

Coach Roper. Is confining his attention to the selection of two new ends for the coming blg three" games. GALE RAGES IN EAST GULF Storm Off Florida Coast Moving North ward neavy Fall of Rain. a kjcz. zo.

The Notre Dame eleven stacks up as one of the strongest teams in the West this sea son. CHALLENGES JOHNNY BUFF Frankie Genero, Olympic Flyweight Champ, Wants Crack at Title. Frankie Genero, who won the ama teur flyweight championship of the world at the Olympic games, is out with a challenge to Johnny Buff, Genero is one of the few midgets who can make the flyweight limit. He was going great guns last winter when he broke his arm. This youngster is only 19 years old He has not lost a fight since turning professional, and he promises to make things lively for the champion if he succeeds in getting Buff into the ring.

winning the bantam title evidently has made Buff forget all about his fly weight crown. He can talk of nothing but bouts with Lynch, Herman and other bantams, but it may be that he will encounter more trouble with a man of his own weight. TO SPEND WINTER AT HOME Frank Frisch, World's Series Star, May Go Into Father's Business. 'Frank Frisch. youthful star of the world's series, is going to spend the winter at home this year.

Last fall the brilliant third sacker, in company with many of his teammates, made the trip to Cuba, but never again for him, he says. He was seasick going there, homesick when he got there, and seasick again coming back. Frank hasn't made any very definite plansbut after a few weeks' rest the need of which he feels after the gruelling pennant race and the world series, he may again take the lace and linen business up in a serious way, entering his father's establishment. It isn't likely that he will play basketball again this year as he did last. Indeed, it would be extremely foolish to do so because of the danger of sustaining an injury which might hamper him in his ball playing next year.
