Last Season he pitched for a semi-pro-team

Rav Kalllo Is working out with the '
regulars of the Oakland squad now and
seems to be a fixture with the rlub.
He has been going good In the practice
games. Ills old "side kick," Sammy
Beer, has already cinched his place and
Is looked upon as the star of the pitch
ing staff.
In the event that Kalllo Is let out
hv the Oaks, he -will go to the new
Great Falls club In the Northwestern
league, under his old manager. Bill
Hurley.
Some of the ball players who will

Connie, however, is almost alone in
his belief that the Athletics will finish
better than seventh or eighth. The con
sensus of opinion is that the outfit he
will head In 1916 will be too "green" to
make any real showing
Looking over the roster of the Ath

Fournier isn't a very classy fielder,

at second, needs no further introduc

Weaver to third There are few short

his infield would be much more formid

lard are reported as being "peev

trained pretty fine for the big bout
in Gotham Saturday night. Willard
isn't done as "fine" as some of his
followers would like to see him, ac
cording to all reports, but he is in
good shape and tie fans look for a
hard battle.
DDLLETINS of tie Willard-Moraa
fight will be called from The
Herald balcony on Saturday evening.
The bout should start about 8 odock,
El Paso time.
J-)0N'T forget the "wake" of the
City Basketball league at the Y,
M. C. A. this evening. It promiess to
be a real lively affair. There's going
to be a hot discussion over the right
of certain teams for a "cut" in the
gate receipts. And nobody is going
to be able to declare a dividend.
QHICAGO A. C. is to spend $60,000
on a new "sun parlor." Sunshine
must come high in the Windy City.
It would be cheaper to send their
athletes for a short jaunt to El Paso.
JVJ0W that tie time of the WUlard-
Moran fight is close at hand, the
critics are getting down to naming
their choices. Most of them are for
Willard but if Moran wins you'll
find that the great majority will be
writing "I told you so" stuff. That's

That Jess Willard has a mind of his

trained to the highest possible notch
was clearly demonstrated vesterday
when he insisted on going through a

six fast rounds of boxing. This was

but the Kansan told the picture men
to ill tomorrow.
The rhamplon weighed after his

himself says that he will be a trifle

And yet the Chicago scribes with the

show any results from the big eat

eastern papers of last Monday,
had not then signed his contract with
the Red Sox, alleging that they
wanted to slice his salary from
$16,000 to $8000. Tns points out that
he remained loyal to his club during

least worth as much as some of the
stars who jumped and have been
taken back into the fold at fat
salaries. Speaker will have the fans

is likely that the Boston club will
be reasonable and compromise with
the star outfielder.

of the National league batters
this year but he isn't showing the
