The team, as a whole and individually, was not sorry. The party arrived at 6 o'clock this morning, and every member was tired. The team was given a rousing , reception by the local fans. There were carriage loads* of prominent citizens to assist the hand, and the Chicago visit ors were given a noisy welcome and escorted to the hotel in Ftate. It looked as if the whole had turned out. Tomorrow, weather permitting, the athletes will be given the first workout of the year. The White Sox party was greeted in the morning by Pitcher Jim Scott. Ping Bodie and Joe Berger.

"As I am about 1.500 miles from Tampa, I suppose they are making me the goat." says Murphy. "I arranged for a bed for each player. "Now quote me literally on the. fol lowing: Ball players are hard men to please. "When Comiskey took hie White Sox to San Francisco some years ago and ha-d his players quartered at the Fairmont hotel Al Altrock exclaimed on looking at the gorgeous turround ings, 'Gee, those pictures are too swell for a ball player.' There, you see, where Comiskey had selected the best possible hotel for his men with magnificent sur roundings and food, yet even then they found something to kick about."

The local promoter is anxious to stage the pair again, the fighters express a desire to clash again and the followers of the game are just crazy to see them. However, the boxers are not philan thropists—in facet, they are very keen, commercially—probably too keen to suit Coffroth. They have made terms which, Coffroth figures, would not allow him to make enough to buy a bottle of sizz vine. Wolgast has two strong , points—he is * great fighter and he wants to be well paid for performing. He has an astute manager in Tom Jones, who does not care at all for ciphers. Tom deals iv figures as carelessly as a bunTco nian deals in conversation. Murphy and his manager, Jim Buck ley, must be given credit for being fair and allowing , the other fellow to make a dollar, too. However, Buckley oan not understand why Wolgast should get two and Murphy one when the re ceipts are counted, as was the case in thetr last battle. RIVERS AND CROSS TO BATTLE ANEW IN N.Y. McMahon Brothers Sign the Pair for Return Match April 9 (Sp«-iAj Dlspetch to Tbc Call) NEW YORK. Feb. 24>—Joe Rivers, who stopped Knockout Brown in 10 rounds at Vernon, CaL. Saturday aft ernoon, is going to fight in this city again In the near future. Hβ has been signed up by the McMaUon brothers to meet Leach Cross'ln a return battle of 10 rounds at the St. Nicholas Ath letic club on April 0. Joe Levy, man ager of Rivers, accepted the match to day after liKs tTras of $5,f>00 had b*en agreed to by the McMahons. Rivera and Levy will leave Los Angeles for New York in three weeks. Al MeOloskey, western heavy weigh" who trained Al Palzer for his fight with Luther MeCej-ty at Vernon, CaJL, is back in town from the coast. Hβ hae been signed up to meet Jack Alton, the New England heavy wefgtit, in one of the two 10 round bouts in the Forty fourth Street Sporting club on Thurs day night. $n the main go Arthur Pelky Trill tackle Fred MoKay. The latter has won five bouts in succession. Jennings Abuses Tigers, Says Davy Jones DETROIT, Feb. 24.—Davy Jones,, the outfielder recently sold by the Tigers to the White Sox, says that the reason the local club didn't make a better show ing last season was because the men didn't do their best for Manager Jen nings, who, he says, abuses them dread fully. "That is the whole secret r>l the Tigers' rank failure last year,," says Jones, "and that will be the cause of a worse showing next season. They will be extremely lucky to finish higher than seventh, because the players, with the exception of Cobb, all hate Jen nings and won't do their best for him. N<?w York will beat them out, sure. "I was sold because I had informed President Navln I never would play under Jennings again, and was in posi tion to back up my resolve. I already have an option on another drug store. Sam Crawford and half a dozen other Tigers have told Mr. Navin the same thing. That is the secret of Sam's hold out. He is in a position to back up his demand as well as I. but I don't think the others are. and I suppose they will have to cave In." STATISTICIAN FOR N.W. LEAGUE PORTLAND, Feb. 2C—Tbe Northwestern, league is to liave an official statistician during the 1013 season. President Fielder A. Jones »p« pointing J. Newton ColT»«r. spotting editor of the Ppifkcsman Reriow. Spokane, to this oflW. Col der hae had a statistical service for a number of years, but hereafter instead of being unofficial the figures will bear the "0. K." of Fielder Jones. Buckley contends that Murphy show ed himself to be as good as, and to many minds a little better than, Wol- Kast last Sunday afternoon, and be lieves that Tommy should share equally with Wolgast if they meet again; or, if Wolgast cares to gamble, Murphy would be willing to battle on a "winner or looser" basis. Managers Buckley and Jones talked with Coffroth yesterday and stated their terms for a return battle. After counting up what both wanted, Coff roth concluded that he would owe him self money if he gave them what they wanted. The-local promoter is etlll confident that he will land the pair. lie figures that they will g<»t down to reason and agree to his terms. Jones left last night for L.os Angeles in company with Jack Liester, the northwestern heavy weight, for whom he ly>pes to get a fight in the 'south. Wolgrast will remain In this city for a few days. Buckley and Murphy are scheduled to leave for New York tomorrow. Buckley wants to get back to the big town in time to second Gunboat Smith in his fight with Bombardier W T ells. The date of that battle has been changed again. It will be staged on March 14. instead of March 17.

Yep, the blue and white is goiner to tear things up on the gridiron once more, either next season or in 1314. This wonderful change has been ac complished by convincing Dr. Nicho las Murray Butler that football can again be played safely and success fully at Columbia under the new rules. The great record made by last season football playing was a big factor in causing Doctor Butler to change his stand regarding Columbia's playing the game. The absence of a single fataltty on the gridiron last year convinced Doc tor Butler that the roughness and bru tality in football, which caused it* death at Columbia, had been eliminated and that the strenuous sport played under the modified rules wasn't so dangerous after all. F<">, after an ab sence of eight years, it 1s extremely likely that the blue and white will be represented on the gridiron next sea son, if a schedule can be framed up In time, or in 1914. at the latest. Now, let the cheering squads get busy. Solons Will Give $150 for Claire Patterson OAKLAND.
