WINTER SPORTING DOPE FROM EVERYWHERE Ad Wolgast and Charlie White Are Choice of Their Neighbors. If Ad Wolgast does not suffer an injury between now and Friday night there will be some mix-up when he meets Charlie White in Milwaukee on that date. That "if" is put in because Ad has an unfortunate habit of breaking a limb or rib or two just previous to ringtime. This time, however, he says all his machinery is in good con dition. White has a chance to place him self in the front rank of runners-up in the lightweight division. A win over Wolgast will entitle him to a match with Rivers, Cross or Mandot. Wolgast is not the fighter of his championship days, l)ut still possesses ring sense, and is no soft proposition, as White is likely to discover. The result depends on whether Wolgast is taking the Chicagoan seriously, or hippodroming his training. He is not liable to commit this error, as he must realize that defeat will mean his elimination from wind-ups of classy affairs. Here in Chicago White is a 10-to-9 favorite. In Milwaukee the same odds prevail, with Wolgast the choice. Tony Caponi, the North Side Ital ian middleweight, will return to the ring Jan. 1, with George Chip as his opponent. The match will be for six rounds and the men will weigh 160 pounds, Johnny Coulon will not return to the big town until after His fight with Young Sinnet in Kenosha, some time in January.

Directors of the Cincinnati ball team, according to reports from Red land, are dissatisfied with the Tinker deal, and want it called off. Appar ently there is, no way out for them, except for Tinker to refuse to go to Brooklyn. Carry Herrmann made an agree ment with President Ebbets of the Dodgers which is binding on the Red club. The only condition was that Tinker should agree to the deal. If he refuses to play in Brooklyn then the deal is off. Ebbets says he will pay Tinker $10,000 of his purchase price. Tinker is attracted by the proopsition, and there is little doubt that he will ac cept if the money is not of the stage variety. Therefore it seems that the direc tors can be displeased from now until the end of time, without helping themselves any, or giving the Cubs a chance to nail Tinker. Right now Joe is little interested1 in baseball. He is more occupied re covering from a walloping he receiv ed when he tried to enter the sport ing editor's office of the Tribune Sat urday night. An outside sentry ob jected to Joe getting by and a fight resulted. It was an even break, with both contestants damaged. President Murphy says there is no chance of a trade of Bvers for Tink er, whereby the Red would become manager of the Cubs. C. Webb says Evers will be the sole head of the West Siders in 1914. Charles H. Ebbets and John H,ey dler have been named additional members of the National Leagued schedule committee.
