3‘ Frank Chancc's acccptnncc of thc
.‘mnnugcrship of the Chicago \Vlzlt»
’8va has left Kid Gleason. tornicr
Ilivid general of Coniiskcy club. with—
:out a. berth in the majors. but the
luggrcssive Kid is expected to land in
:il comfortnliln bcrth before the win—
il‘r llflS',‘l)tlll mot-tings are over, lic-
lports cmnnnting from Chicago init-
il-ntc that (llcnson may not have '0
[lane “'indy City in scurcl‘l of clll-
jplnvmcnt,
l ’l‘hc story going tllc rounds is that
tilt-:ison has bet-n offv'rr'd a POSitD-l
:is assistant to llill Killifcr, vnnnaghsr
of the Chicago Clubs, and that he is
considering the proposition. Tic
would like to stay in Chicago, and
"mny accept .it' he gets nothing b;t-
tcr.
cngagcd in a, talk one evening im-
mediately aftcr the i‘ormcr's resigna-
tion as manager of the “’hite Sox
and that the club leader told the Kid
"to be sure andsce me before you
decide to accept the manngerahip
of some othc rliig lcague club."
Newspnpcrmen, in discussing
Gioason's departure from the Vinita
>Sox with him .remarked that they
'wvro sorry to see him leave Chicago.
To which the Kid replied: "Well
there is on cother major league club
in Chicago, and you know that’ a
fellow doesn't have to bc manager
of a team to which he is under con-
tracts. There arc other connections.
too."
This statement from Gleason is
understood to be an admission that
his reported conversation with Bill
Killltcr is true, and that he has been
thinking over ojining the (" tbs in an
advisory capacity.
The big job with which Gleason'n
name has been linked and the only
one which will stand in the way of
his signing up with the Cuba is the
managershlp of the Washington Sen-
ators. Donie Bush's retirement from
without a. manager. Kid Gleason i:
the only unplaccd big league man-w
gcr at the present moment.
Wherefore Gleason is the popular
guess for the job.
At first Eddie Collins. George Gib-
son and Gleason were the candidates
for the leadership oi: Senators. Col-
lins. however. has alseady signified
his intentions of remaining with the
Chicago White Sox under the di-
rection of Frank Chance. so he is
Iout of the running.
Gibson. the former Pirate catcher
who last season {as a coach with
the Senators for a. short while, ha:
definitely announced to all and
sundry that he is through with blue.
ball. He is more interestnd (so In-
says) in his contracting busincas in
Ontario. Canada. than in the gam~.
The Kid is the only visible nxndl.
date for the heroic task of pulling
the Senators out of the rut. and he
is the am: for the Job.

ox ‘rts in aquatics, among: them
F l: J. Sullivan. coach of swim-
ming at Princeton and annual svlcc-
tcr of the All—A‘mcrican collcgo
swimming team. is likcly to he an
important factor in thc Olympic
team to represent tho I‘nitcd States
abroad in the 1924 sport classic.
In discussing the coming cvcnt.
Sullivan stated that as a. result 0!
the rapid growth of swimming in
colleges and preparatory schools
there has been developed a number
of men who will make the 1920
Olympic stars look to their laurcls
in the coming trials. “Last year
there was a. noticeablc improvement.
in material over former years. Al—
though some of the 1920 stars such
as Johnny Weismulicr. Norman
Ross and a few others of the last
Olympic tcam, arc. not liable to be
disturbed. there is little doubt that
the colleges will have a. much more
important place at Colombcs Sta-
dium next summer tli‘an ever before
in America's Olympic career."
Ambng the likely candidates for
Olympic honors from colleges. Sul-
livan mentioned particularly the
following:
loo-metcr—Howell of Northwest-
ern. Giebel of Rutgers, Breyer of
Northwestern. Smith of Brown, Sin-
clair of Navy,
1,500-meter—Glcbel of Rutgers.
tSmith of Brown. Hawkins of Prince-
on.
loo-meter backstroke—Smith of
Brown. Colcs or Brown. Pua Koal—
oha of St. Louis Preparatory school,
Honolulu; Hill of Minneapolis Cen-
tral High school, Morse of , East
High school. Cleveland.
ZOO-meter back stroke—Farley
of University of Minnesota. Czer-
wonky ot \Visconsin, Skelton' of
Northwestern. Lenox of Oak Park
High school, Illinois.
.Sullivan believes that: there is no
possibility of any college or school
swimmer breaking into the zoo—me—
ter relay team. but he mentioned
Kealoha and Breyer as heading the
list.
Diving is one of the departments
in which the educational institutions
excel]. with such candidates as
White of Stanford. who holds both
the 1922 and 1923 senior title of the

Meeting
NEW YORK, Dec. l.——Cha.rlee H.
Ebbets, the Squire of Elatbush. dc—
parted tor Clearwater. Flu. yester—
day and before leaving issued the
pronuncinrnento that the Dodger's
are willing to trade anybody on the
club except Jimmie Johnston and
Pitchers may Vance and Burleigh
Grimes. This was taken to be a di-
rect retort to the recentvrumor that
the Robins would exchange John-
ston and a. number of other players
for Rogers Hornsby. the St. Louis
star. for whom almost all the clubs
in the National League are bidding.
However. the Squire's announce-
ment indicates that Wilbert Robin-
son is willing to shake up his team
considerably in order to strengthen
the club. Included on the list of
players that Ebbets is willing to
trade are Jack Fournier. the first
baseman: Zack “’heat. the captain
of the team. and Dutch Ruether. the
left-handed pitcher. With these
three phycrs as his chief trading
matcrial. Uncle Robbie hopes to
swing one or two big trade: that
will strengthen the Dodgers in the
infield and outfield. The Giants
would like to get Reuther. and there
are a. number of clube in the Nation-
al League that could use Wheat. in
the outfield.
Squire Ebbets who has bought]
winter home at Clean-water. where
the Robins trainod last; spring will
stay at the Florida. resort for only a
few weeks. He intends to return
northward to Chicago in time for the
league meeting -on Dec. 10. but if
the Brooklyn president is unable to
be present, Wilbert Robinson will be
the Dodgers' representative in the
trading mart. Uncle Robbie says he
wantu to get Homsbylor his infield.
but unless he to willing to give up
Johnston or Vance it is hard to see
how he expects to lure Branch Rick-
ey into surrendering his star second
baseman. ‘
