Sox third baseman did not sign.
Xo trouble is expected.
New York has sent out a trade
rumor that is big stuff. McGraw
is after Lefty Tyler of the Bos
ton Braves, and is willing to go
the limit to get him. Muggsy is
said to be willing to use Wiltse,
Ames and Crandall, pitchers ; De
vore, Snodgrass and McCormick,
outfielders, and Groh and Stock,
infielders, as part of the deal. It
sounds big, but that is McGraw's
way of doing things. When he
won a world's pennant in 1905 he
spread the impression that he was-
a nut by disposing of most of the
men who turned the trick, but it
worked out right.
Frank Snyder tossed up the
sponge in the fifth round of his
go with Pal Brown, at Superior,
Wis.
Tommy Murphy shaded Eddie
Kearing in a semi-private subur
ban bout last night. Murphy's
most effective punch was a right
uppercut.
Now comes a report from
'Frisco that Ad Wolgast and
Tom Jones have re-established
relations, and the human phono
graph will again manage the for
mer lightweight champion. Evi
dently Jones hasn't lost his voice.
Wolgast began training for his
bout with Harlem Tommy Mur
phy yesterday.
The Wells-McCarty fight is re
ported off. It was never "on." The
Briton will be matched with Gun
boat Smith March 7 or 17.
Cleveland and the Red Sox
have a trade on, by which Nuna
maker -would go to the Naps for
In fielder Peckinpaugh. The Red
Sox catcher is now in Cleveland.
Chicago slipped to second place
in the national three-cushion bil
liard competition when Denton of
Kansas City trimmed Stanley
Kandul, 50 to 33. St. Louis is in
first place.
Tom O'Rourke, manager of Al
Palzer, was awarded $250 dam
ages against Boxing, a London
sporting paper, which alleged he
had been mixed up in fake fights.
The proposed McFarland-Brit-ton
bout "was formally called off
today from New York. McFar
land says he has an offer of $10,
000 to meet Freddie Welsh in
London within the next few
months. Packey also has a cold.
He could have gotten $10,000 for
his match with Britton. This is
just another case of Packey duck
ing out of a fight with the North
Sider. His cold is in his feet.
