Jones Returns to White Sox Manager Post Denied by Comiskey
Sports notes recall Jones’s expected return to manage the Chicago White Sox next season as President Comiskey dismisses retirement rumors. The Cubs set a world record for wins and offer $12,000 plus three players for Magee, which Philadelphia declines. Muggsy McGraw plans to cover second for the Giants, while Dave Johnson bets away Roseben’s fortune and contemplates selling the horse. Memsic weighs 133 pounds for a potential match with Battling Nelson, with Los Angeles weighing in on last minute weigh-ins and promoter Coffroth opposing eleventh hour weighings. Joe Thomas weighs January offers from Marysville and Los Angeles as college football ethics are attacked by Jordan. Freddie Weeks and Kid Wolgast box at Frank Selee’s club next month as Carlisle routs St. Louis in a Christmas day football preview.
