mmmmmmmmm vS53 it carries more sleep producing power than Packey's. If Jack can penetrate McParland's defense with one of his haymakers the fight is liable to end right there. The fight will bea contest between a wonderful defensive man with a de cent punch and a fair defensive man with a wicked wallop. The result hinges on whether Britton can get home one of his smashes. And no battle of such a nature is a 2-to-l proposition. There is too much chance that the walloper will con nect National League club owners be gan arriving in New York this morn ing for the annual meeting of the organization. The two big topics of conversation were the election of Gov. Tener of Pennsylvania to head the circuit, and the disposal of Joe Tinker, deposed manager of the Cin cinnati Reds. Garry Herrmann, president of the Rhinelanders, and, according to his own statement, the real manager, said he wanted $20,000 worth of players in exchange for Joey. Along with this he confessed that five clubs were after Tinker. Whether the Cubs are numbered among the quintet is unknown. No one at the offices here has authority to talk, and the whereabouts of Pres. Murphy remains a mystery. Just get this. It wouldn't be sur prising to see C. Webb walk down the gangplank of some gteamer from England before the National League meeting is over. Bombardier Wells and George Car pentier are to fight twenty rounds in London tonight for the championship of something or other.

This Battling Leyinsky, who has been creating some stir in New York heavyweight circles, will have a real test tomorrow night when he goes against Pueblo Jim Flynn for ten rounds. Levinsky is a rugged, willing rough-and-tumble fighter, but Jim's experience may prove too much for him. One thing can be said for Le vinsky, he is not -afraid to fight. He has done more work in the last two months than all the other heavies in Gotham combined. Prospects for a football game be tween Harvard and Chicago decided ly bright, though Maroon authorities have not declared in favor of the pro posed clash. President Judson of the Midway school says a meeting will be called soon to consider Harvard's challenge. vIt is not likely that action will be taken before Coach Stagg re turns from Pinehurst, N. C, where he intends to remain until Jan. 5. Charlie White is surely one trust ing and optimistic guy. He has start ed training for a fight with Ad Wol- gast in Milwaukee, Dec. 19. Ad does not believe he will shatter any ribs between now and the date of fight. Don't entirely ..overlook Harlem Tommy Murphy in his championship fight with Willie Ritchie on the coast tomorrow night. Conditions are against the New York boy, but past history shows that he does his best work on the coast, no matter what his failing in the East. INDOOR BASEBALL SCORES Columbus Council, 4; Newman, 2.
