By T. S. ANDREWS. HE "planting" or opponents for B some or the star Doxers is sei- ting to be a ticklish proposition, and those who contemplate such a move will do well to think twice be fore going ahead. The latest one ae c used of the "planting" scheme is John ny Kilbane, the champion feather weight, who is charged with having used his sparring partner in a frame jp at Johnstown, Pa. Kilbane claims that he knew nothing of the alleged deal until he got lto the ring at Johns town that Is he did not know whom lie was to box, that he was merely en gaged to box six rounds and no oppo i ent was named to him. The man ad--vtrtised to meet Kilbane was Tommy Dugran, of San Francisco, but it proved to be, according to reports given out d-t Cleveland and Johnstown, In reality Tommy StcGinty. his sparring partner. If that is true, then Jimmy Dunir, manager or Kilbane, knew beforehand t hat was ' doing," and Kilbane must hae known things were not right when he saw his sparring partner as nis opponent. Why Kilbane should ac- pt a mere ?4I tor going Into a bout of that kind when he could easily get 51008 or more for boxing some of the second class featherweights aboutNew iork, is hard to fanthom. Some Box ers and managers think it a smart trick if they can "put over" something of that kind on the promoters, but the don't always figure the cost. If. Kilbane is really guilty of being mixed up in the muddle, he deserves the se erest censure, and he or his mana ifr should be comDelled to return every cent to the people who attended J the bout In Johnstown. Alter an. 11 mav prove -a good thing In disguise for" the boxing game. It will teach boxers a lesson and make them think twice before entering into such deals In the future. It is evident from reports abroad, that Frank Klaus, the Pittsburg mid dleweight, has not been anxious for matches the past few months. Aocord ,ng to reports the Pirate boxer has been offered good matches, but for some unknown reason has declined them. Perhaps the money is not large enough, but there must be something besides that, for both Papke and Car pen tier have been getting more money then they could possibly get for simi lar bouts in America. Papke has gone to London in an effort to land a match with Bombardier Wells, the British hampion, for he realises that it will draw big money, but Wells is not anxious for a match there just now, as he believes he can get more money in New Tork with one of the American heavyweights. Papke and Klaus were offered a $16,064 purse by Leon See In r'aris, but they declined it. asking for 12,000. That Is why Papke was matched "with Barnard, the French middleweight Now Klaus Is trying to beat Papke to a match with Wells over Puffs From the L ORTH, who Is .now a member f of the National league umpire JtSL staff, has signed, contract to roach the Washington and Jefferson college baseball squad nevt spring. m Johnny Dundee, the New Tork j featherweight, has been matched to meet Eddie Morgan, the English boxer for a p round bout at New Tork on f We can't furnish ten days Crs. for Myrtle Trading Place to pay freight,, just to save the shop men 75c per hundred on spuds and $1200 a carload, or $4.00 per hun dred on beans.

Another match between the mlualt weights across the pond is set for Jan uary 19, when Carpentier and Marcel Moreau meet. It will be Carpentier's l$th birthday and he expects to cele brate by winning and then get after a return match with Papke, and also Klaus, but not at the 160 pound mark as before, as he realizes ne cannot make under 165. while 170 suits him still better. The American fighters who went to Australia the past season have not fared very well, in fact their record has not been anywhere near that made by Clabbv. Papke, Bronson and Thomp son in 1910. Brnie Zanders, the Chicago 150 pounder, who went over to SyR ney last August under contract to Hugh D. Mcintosh writes me that of alj the Yankees over there and also the French boxers, not one has a clean slate. In his letter Zanders says: "I have just returned from West Austra lia where I beat Jim Land In 20 rounds. This is the fellow who gave Cyclone Johnny Thompson such a hard battle for 20 rounds when he was over here. Johnny scoring a knockout in the final round. There was not a great deal of money for us, as Langford and McVey boxed there the week before and McVey quit cold. The people thought it was a frame up and they kept away from our bout as a result. I am sure, though, that Langford was on the square and that bi- McVey quit cold. Well. I am going much better now and seem to have at last struck my gait. I expect to box one of the Frenchmen soon. "Grover Hayes boxed Jack Read, as you probably know, and was beaten on points in 20 rounds. The fans were very disappointed at Hayes' showing. All of the foreign boxers have been beaten in their first fights and I am the only one so far who has won at all. Paul Til. the French lightweight, was beaten by Kid McCoy and Jack Read. Hayes was beaten by Read and Hock Keyes beat Bernstein, another Frenchman. De Balzic, of France, af ter looking like a winner, was dis qualified in the eighth round against Reg Midwood. for butting. I was beat en by Bill Rudd. Pat Bradley, an other American from Pittsburg, I be lieve, is here, and will fight Audouy, the Frenchman. Jean Posey, the crack French featherweight, who gave Jem Drlscoll a hard fight in England, ar rived yesterday . and will be matched with one of the best boys here. Leon Truffler. also a French boxer. 130 pounds, is here and will meet Jimmy Hill, a clever youngster. I have two more fights on here and will then be through. If I make good I may re main a little longer, otherwise I will sail after the first of the year for home. It has been a wonderful trip here and I have enjoyed it." Fan's Hop Pipe December 12. This bout has been sub stituted for the Leach Cross-Young-Shugrue contest, which was postponed until December 19. . Joe Rivera has received an offer of $3000 from Xan McKettrick, a New York promoter, to box "Knockout" Brown, of this city, in a 10 round bout at his club on January 9. Rivers has also received an offer from the Cleve land promoters to meet Brown in that city in the early part of next year. Johnny Coulon, bantamweight cham pion, has declared all bouts off and is going to take a six weeks' vacation by the orders of his physician. In taking the six weeks off Coulon is losing; purses to the amount of 115,000. Eddie Murphy, of Boston, and P-ackey McFarland have started training for their 10 round bout at Kenosha, Wis., on December 16. Murphy declares that he will give McFarland one solid punch that will count for more than for any five McFarland can hand him. Eddie McGoorty has been matched to meet Bill McKmney, a Boston mid dleweight, for a 10 round bout at Ke nosha, Wis., on January 12. McKinney gave McGoorty one of the hardest bat tles of his career several months ago. Harry Lord, the White Sox outfielder, was the only player to make home runs off r Jo.e Wood and Walter Joh son last' season. Willie Ritchie has announced his in tention of giving Packey McFarland the first try at the lightweight title. Ritchie is a former sparring partner of Packey Ritchie says that he will allow McFarland to come In at 135 ringside. The Garden Athletic club, of New York, has opened negotiations for a 10 round bout between Freddie Welsh,. England's lightweight champion, and either Packey McFarland or Willie Ritchie. Welsh and McFarland havo boxed three times, a total of 55 rounds. Reports from New Haven indicate that Pennsylvania is likely to replace the Army team on Yale's football scredule. It is known that Pennsyl vania football committee has been hard at work to prevail upon Old Ell to accept the Red and Blue as a gridiron opponent. A straw vote taken at the University .of Chicago on the conference question as It pertains to Michigan reveals the fact that the women students were practically unanimous In favor of the Wolverines' return to the conference. President Navin, of the Detroit Tigers, who opposed the Corrldon-Tinker-Chance deal when it first was mentioned, has altered his attitude. He now states that if it will help the three cornered trrfde through he will sell Corrldon to Cincinnati for the price he paid Kansas City, $8000. It was a Detroit man, "Carnation" Dan OLeary, who gave the late John T. Brush his start in baseball. About 25 years ago Dan was De troit's left fielder, and afterwards he managed the Indianapolis club. John T. Brush was running a cloth ing store In Indianapolis at that time, and John cjould not see what anybody saw- in baseball. Nearly everybody who worked for John was a fan, and that made John all the more bitter against the game. He "crabbed" and raved and "crabbed" some more when ever one of his clerks left the store to go to the park. One day an intimate friend of John induced him to attend the game on a bet. The most excited man at this eon test was John T. Brush. He was the biggest enthusiast in his store the next day. Incidentally he met CLeary and Dan induced him to take over the Indianapolis club. That's where Mr. Brush started. He climbed until several years ago he became recognized as the most powerful figure in the National league. LEDOl'X AND WILLIAMS DRAW.

Dec. 12. An nouncement is made that Willie Keeler has been retained by i-parlie Ebbetts to coach the young Brooklyn players in the art of bat ting next spring, while Wilbert Rob inson has already been engaged oy McGraw for 1913 to teach the Giant pitching students how to shoot. In fact, Robbie had his job cinched long before he retired to Baltimore and his winter ruminations over the Snodgras sian muff. "Kid" Gleason will be back with Jimmy Callahan and the Chicago 'ft hue Sox. while Joe Sugden will again be with Detroit, and Jim Ryan with Clark Griffith at Washington. Heine Peitz will probably have his old job at Cin cinnati, and practically every big league that goes nto spring training camp will have a veteran player along to coach the kids. McGraw was the first of the modern day managers to adopt the veteran coach Idea, and his example was soon followed by the other managers. How ever, McGraw and the other clubs spe cialized on the young pitohers, while Ebbets is about the first to introduce a batting instructor. If Keeler can import any of his won derful batting knowledge to the Dodger "kids," he will be worth as much to the club as Robinson is to the Giants, or Gleason to the Sox. "Wee Willie had considerable success in the role of teacher last season, and he expects to do even better this year. Robinson produced Marquard and Tesreau for McGraw last year, and he expects to dig up at least one pitching treasure from the mass of raw recruits gathered by the Giant scouts last sea son. It is likely that McGraw will send the veteran ir structor soutir- with the youngsters along about February 15. He tried the experiment of an early start with the rec-uits last year and it was a big success. Careful observation, covering a long STAES WIN GAME FROM C. A.

Cleaner basket throwing, superior head work and experience won the game for the Electric Stars against the Catholic Athletic association Wednes day night at the skating rink. The score was IS to 14. Moelich. Adkins and H Grady were the basket makers for the C A. A., each making two bas kets, and Adkins was credited with two fouls. Wilcox was the chief point maker cf the Stars, making eight points for his team. Frequent fouls were called on the players and several times rough tactics were used, many players getting barked shins and knees on the hardwood floor. The C. A. A. was further strengthened by the play ing of H. Grady, a former High school star, who made his first appearance of the season last night, uapu w. viner, of the Stars, was sent in as substitute forward and because he was not in uni form the game was protested by the CL A. A. on the irround that the rules -do -not allow -a member of .any tam to play when not in unuorm. xne pro test was 1:01 allowed by referee Golden and the C. A.

Ad Wol gast, recently deposed lightweight champion, and his manager, Tom Jones, lost nearlv ?8000 on the Flynn-McCarty fight. The lightweight and his manager made several trips to McCarty's train ing quarters before the day of the fight to size up the stranger, and on each oc casion the young Missourian was in structed by his manager to "box like a dub," according to friends of McCarty. After McCairfy had given a woeful ex hibition, Nat Goodwin would saunter in and with a showing of reluctance a'c cept all wagers by Wolgast and Jones. So cleverly did the 20 year old giant play his part that Wolgast gave out a statement before the fight to the ef fect that McCarty did not even know how to hold his hands, to say nothing of boxing, and predicted an easy vic tory for the Pueblo fireman. MAX SUTTOX. TEVXIS CHAMPION, WEDS THOMAS BUSDY Los Angeles, CaL. Dec. 12. A new and permanent "mixed doubles" part nership was formed here when Miss May Sutton, former world's champion woman tennis player, became the bride of Thomas Clarke Bundy, national doubles champion with Maurice E.

It has been proved beyond the sha dow of a doubt that Joe Humphreys, the leader of the announcing leaguels unable to utter a word unless he re moves his hat. .We do not know why this Is so.

Certainly It Is reasonable to assume that Joe wouldn't expose himself to coughs, colds and diseases of the eye, throat, nose and ear, if he could make amnouncements with "his hat on. No great quarterback was produced among the big v college teams of the East during the past season, and most of the experts In picking their All Americans teams turned to the elevens of the smaller institutions to fill that position. Pazetti. of Lehigh; Crowth ers; of Brown and Costello, of George town, were the three generally con sidered. That the football selections are guided largely by the spectacular, just as in baseball, is shown by the fact that Brown, of the Navy, is picked on several first "All American" teams solely on the Etrengn of his field goals against the Army in the last fifteen minutes of play. But for his work in that brief quarter of an hour. It is hardly likely that Brown would have been considered for "All Ameri can" honors and this in no wise re flects upon his ability, either.

The fight between "Gunboat" Smith, the Califor nia heayweight, and Harry Wuest, of Cincinnati, was tsopped by the referee in the first round to save the Ohio man from a knockout. Smith had been cautioned at the srart for hitting in a breakaway and when the bout was suddenly stopped there was a mixup at the ringside, with many spectators thinking Smith had been dis qualified. The referee, however, said he had stopped the fight to save Wuest. Freddie Hicks, of Detroit, outpointed Jack Harrison, middleweight champion of England, in a 10 round bout.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec 12. De claring that the possibilities of the new game are just begin ning to be realized, that many revela tions in new plays will make their ap pearance, and that under the new code more interest has been manifest and safety assured, Walter. Camp affirms the success of the revised fastball rules. Camp does not believe the extra down allowed this fall -is of sufficient advantage to permit a team to mak-j large gains by the old time plunging style of play. He does not think that the end zones have been of great value because it has been proved that the goal posts seriously interfere with for ward passes in this part of the field. Possibilities of New Code. x "The coaches and players opened their eyes to the real possibilities of the game under the rules of 1912 only in the last few weeks of the season, says Camp. "Those who predicted early In the fall that there would be no greater scoring than under last season's rules are now beginning tp waver in that opinion. "More than eer it has ben demon strated that when good teams meet that the elimination of pushing and pulling has made it, even with the additional down, too bard a proposi tion for the old fashioned simple line plunging game to make ground enough for a successful journey down the field. To punch the ball over the line Is a different matter, birt long marches down the field, even with the id vantage given by the additional down, are too slow a method when com pared with an attack that spreads the opposing line or weakens it by decep tion. In connection with this tbe kicK ing game with tbe wind is a vitally essential point In a team's equipment in order that the players may force their opponents to do hardwork in the running game and at the same time save their own strength for the time when they can actually threaten in the opponents' territory.

"But there are other revelations to come. Fortunately for those who axe called upon to faee them there are very few good teams whksh started with a good foundation of players and formations brought over from last year. Few have realized the wide opportunity for varied play under the latest rule. For if there had been any teams starting out this season equipped with veteran players and experienced in formations they would have cut a very wide swath. At present the de fence is getting more opportunity to adjust itself, while the offense is learning how to strike in an effective manner. That is why some of the work on both sides seems crude and immature. "One rather singular, and yet not able thing about the game, Is that it seems to have evened up the werk of the backfield and the line somewhat, so that everybody on the team seems to have to work up to the very top of his limit all the time. "The end zone has not yet been made much of. Teams, when they ap proach the opposite goal, seem for the most part to prefer to rely upon their chanee by an interrupted pass of losing' the ball. It has been ound that the goal posts Interfere qnite materially with forward passes in this region. In one or two instances the play would have been successful had not the ball struck the posts."
