Latest Outside Sporting Dope George Chip is a new name in pugil istic annals, but from now on he will haw to he considered. About three months ago he surprised everybody by knocking out Prank Klaus, generally spoken of as the Pittsburg Bearcat. Klaus explained t: at he was leading by a wide margin, and becoming care less through o\ * reonfidenoe left an opening which Chip turned to his ad \antage. Owing to the prominent po sition Klaus has h* id in the middle w • i^m di\ isi"n Miio* the tragic death of Stanley Ketchel, the public was content to withhold judgment and let t .. future tell tho story. Klaus professed his anxiety to meet Chip again and prove to the satisfac tion of all that ho was not slipping. The second battle took place a few days * • > and this time Chip knocked out Klaus in five rounds. It is possible, of course, that Klaus n ay spring an alibi as he did in the first case, but the two clean knockouts inside of three months will be ac cepted by th> spotting world in gen eral as evidence of the coming of a new contender for the middleweight honors, n >w in a tangle, or the degen eration of Klaus. It should l»e remembered that Klaus has beeq fighting with more than ordinary success since 1904. In 1910 he met Ketchel in a six-round, no-decision bout at Pittsburg. Ketchel told ine that he did his best in that bout, despite criticism to the contrary, and was tickle.1 to death when it was over. ”1 will never meet Klaus again,” he r. marked, "unless I have carefully pre pared and am in the best possible condition. ’ In 1911 Klaus fought on the average one** a month and was not beaten. Among the men be whipped were Leo Houck. Montana Dan Sullivan, Tommy Sullivan and Willie Lewis. Klaus gained further prominence In 1912 by winning from Jack Dillon in twenty rounds, and George Carpentier, the present idol of France, who re cently beat bombardier Wells in a punch. With such a record, it naturally fol lows that two knockouts at the hands of George Chip topples Klaus from the pedestal and elevates Chip. After Chip first defeated Klaus he went to Racine, Wis , and fought Tim O'Neill, a Chicago middleweight, win ning rather easily in ten rounds. Sport writers at that time were not deeply impressed with Chip. They de scribed him as a hardy youth, willing and eager to exchange wallops. It was plainly stated that he wmild have to show much better form to get in the same class with Jack Dillon, Ed die McGoorty and Jimmy Clabby. Op posed to this was the statement of Jimmy Dime that Chip was headed straight for the middleweight chain pi• >nship. As Dime is Chip's manager, his claim was entitled to a liberal dis count. Chip hails from Newcastle, Pa, and it is literally true that he had no reputation outside his own state be fore he knocked out Klaus. From Paris comes the story that Sammy Strang, former official pinch hitter of the New York Giants is ready to break into opera, yes, even grand opera. They told us tHat Rube Mar. pi aid was ready to break into \ audeville. Battling Levinsky, who has been cleaning up the third-raters in the East during the past six or eight months, is a Hebrew. In reply to sev eral inquiries it may be said that ac cording to different stories printed in Eastern papers Levinsky is his right name. When he entered the boxing game he took the name of Barney Williams. Danny Morgan, who is now his manager, persuaded him to switch back to his right moniker. Even the Cincinnati Enquirer says candidly that the opinion of fans not only in Cincinnati, but all over the three states from which the Reds draw their patronage, is one of unanimous disapproval of the way the affairs of the club have been administered by the directors. The present company has owned and operated the Cincinnati club for the past twelve years. The club was pur chased from John T. Brush in the summer of 1902, when Mr. Brush went to New York to assume charge of the Giants. The widely differing results secured from the policies of Mr. Brush in Now York and of the management of the Cincinnati club by a board of directors since that date furnish a most enlightening study. In 1901, the year before the transfer of these two clubs was made, New York finished in seventh place and Cincinnati eighth in the National league race, with a difference of only 6 points between the two clubs. In 1 902 the Reds finished fourth and the Giants absolutely last, showing that ...ew York had nothing on Cincinnati when the change in own ership of the clubs was made. The Giants were a wretched tail-ender, and had been so for years. They had not finished in the first division since 1897, and had not been a serious con tender in any league race since 1889. For thirteen years the Giants had been a football for the other clubs of the old league. When Mr. Brush took hold of the New York club he found a disorganized outfit, in eighth place, without a manager of class, and with very few first-class players. He at once made a deal with the Baltimore club, of the American league, by which he secured John McGraw as manager and several good players along with him. McGraw immediately showed his ability by lifting the tail end Giants of 1902 to second place in the race of 1903. Since that time he has never been out of the first division and has won five National league pennants in eleven years of management. The club, under his able leadership, has been a gold mine for Mr. Rush, who left a fortune to his wife and daughters when he died last year, after a long illness. His success was due to his smartness in securing a competent manager, back ing him up in every detail of the han dling of the players, and himself at tending the business management of the club with great force and judg ment. The Giants amounted to noth ing when Brush and McGraw took hold of them. They were at that time bad ly outclassed by the Reds. But in the past eleven years they have never failed to win every series from the Reds. Meanwhile, in these eleven years, the Reds have had six managers, two of whom were retained for three years each, one for two years and three for only one year. Joe Kelley was broutffct crom Baltimore in the fall *>f 1902 and left in charge for the next three \, irs I'nil-T his management th« team finished fourth in 1903. third in 1904, and fifth In 1905. Hy that tinu the directors had become convinced t at a change was needed, so Ned i : ...ri. w ho had b»*en b a !**r of cham pionship teams at Baltimore ami Hrooklyn, was brought on at a salary of SI 2.000 a year Hanlon, by this tin*- well advanced toward middle age, and comfortably provided for in a financial way, could not lift the team out of a rut During his first year lie went home the day after the club readied the training camp and was not present on the Southern trip, leav ing the team in charge of Joe Kelley, who had been retained as captain. He was absent from t lie club a great deal that year, and, in spite of his knowledge of the game, failed to g«*t the best work out of the players. The Beds finished in sixth place both I years of his management. In 1908 John Ganzel, who lmd been first base man anti captain the preceding year, was advanced to the management j John landed the club in fifth place I nd was let out. making way for j (’lark Griffith, who was the only man ager except Joe Kelley, who laste 1 j for tlir«-c years. He finished fourth in 1 19"'.* and was hailed as a wonder for ! bringing the team into tin* first divi j don. Hut a number *»f unfortunate trades weakened the team, which sank ! to fifth place in 1910 and to sixth in , 1911. Griff made a strong effort to I continue, but the directors decided to j make another change and engaged | Hank O’Day, the well-known umpire, ! or p ♦* v.avn <*f 1912. <» !>av finish** in fourth place, but the team won less than half its games and the form er umpire was discarded at the close ■f t1-*- season. A big trade of players just a year igo resulted in Joe Tinker being se cured from the Cubs and installed as manager of the Reds, the sixth leader tjie team had had In eleven years. It [was announced with a flourish that I Tinker would have absolute control of the dub, would be given a free hand in every way and would be the mana :er in fact, as well as in name. To ward mid-season Tinker claimed that !m* did not have absolute control of the signing and release of players j ind made a number of charges along ; this line, many of which were proved . he unfounded by' President Hen man. Tinker’s attack on the Red chief ■ *aiise«l a good deal of bitterness among ! the directors, some of whom advised that he he relieved of the manage- j | cent at that time. Mr. Herrman treat 'd the matter with great generosity, i md, so far as he was concerned, Tink r would probably have remained for mother season. Rut the majority of | the hoard favored his dismissal and he j was let out. The new manager will j be the seventh that the club has had j ince 1003. The offer by th- Russian government j >f $10,000 for the trotting stallion J. ( Malcolm Forbes, and the refusal of it by the owner with the remark that he j would not sell the horse for double the j uni, hear witness that, despite the automobile and the aeroplane, the day »f the trotting horse is by no means I drawing toward a close, says the New j ork World. Oliver Wendell Holmes used to ar- j uc that the trotting horse is an out •onie of our Democratic social system. | Royalty, aristocracy, war and sport, ' said lie, developed the saddle horse. ! The American doctor, lawyer, preach- j r, farme r and picnicker, when set- ^ ing forth on circuit or frolic, needed i horse that could take a sulky or a uieuy at a speed to cover the wide Mstances of early America as swift ly as possible. The trotter came to *veet the demand. Not for long did the trotter remain tl v ruiiinn 1 of America only. Russia, with distances wider than our own, ! began to develop him in the big gov ernmental studs. In the days when 'land St anford's ranch at Palo Alt*) was famous for its trotters, the ein oeror of Russia got two stallions from 1 the senator by presenting him with ; two Orloff stallions from the imperial stables. The American met the gift by a superior gift of his own. With two such nations competing, the trot- , ting horse has yet a golden age be fore him. Walter St. Denis, sporting editor of the New Yori; Globe, who lias been in San Francisco recently, says that New York is second in very few things, but j when It comes to the boxing game, it must, in vii w of records, fall in behind California. This condition does not arise from the suj>eriority of contests, but because the California manager has a better grip on the pulse of the people. What St. Denis says of the boxing game is i what ! have been trying to tell base ball people, but they point to increased expenses and go ahead boosting the orices ••Really. says St. Denis, 'it sounns foolish to tliink that San Francisco or : Los Angeles, with their respective 1 inopulations of probably 500.000 and 250,000, should be able to outdraw New ; York with her 4,000,000 at anything in he sport line. ‘‘Rut it's a fact. There are those who say that the twenty-round condi tion which prevails In California is the cause of it. Tt's no such a thing. The , secret of the Western success is the consideration the promoters give the common people, the people who love sport for sport's sake, and who cannot afford big prices for tickets. "The best tickets for the twenty round bouts on the Coast are no high er in price than what is asked here. But it’s not the high priced ticket buyer who supports the boxing game any more than it's the buyer of the richest goods in a dry goods store who Makes the big firms succeed. Any big firm will probably attribute its suc cess to giving the people what they want at the lowest possible figure. “It's just that way with the boxing ■ame in California. Fight club pro moters build their arenas with the idea in view of accommodating the boys who have but $2 or $3 to spare to see a bout. And the venture has nroven most successful. In every big bout the bulk of the gate receipts have '•ome from the $2 bleacheries. “On.ly last Thanksgiving day Leach Cross and Joe Rivers fought before a gat#‘ that hit a bit above the $17,000 mark. Of that amount more than $12, 000 came out of the admission section, the seats which cost not more than $2 to occupy. “In Jim Coffroth’s arena in San Francisco there is seating capacity for about 17,000. Of this number not more than 7.000 are placed In the re served list There are 10,0<>0 blachery s* ;i?s. f.*r vvhieh seldom is more than $2 charged. And no matter how big t!. crowd comes the price is never raised on those seats. It’s that wav wherever a fight is held on the (’oast. The ‘poor’ fan is given first consider ation, and it has been a profitable trial. It's just the other way in New York The reserved seats outnumber the general admissions five to one. In Madison Square Garden. f<*r instance, •her - is room for probably 10,000 peo ple at a fight, yet not more than 2,000 -•ats are set aside for the boy a who have but a dollar or two to spare. less consideration is shown the real supporters of all sports at some of the smaller clubs. If the manager sees a big crowd coming his first thought Is to shut down on the gener al admissions He may allow a couple of hundred to come in at the admission price and then announce that there is nothing left but the higher priced seats. Out of a hundred in line at the general admission window there is probably not more than a dozen .\ lio can see their w ay clear to ad ance the extra price The club is the loser and the gate receipts are lower than what they really should he. "Avarieiousness is a great fault with the majority "f New York fight club managers. They have been stung l*y their own folly time and again, but the very next time they get the chance their greed overcomes them. •'Constant disappointments at not be ing able to get in at the advertised admission price has caused many a boxing lover to turn to some other sport for enjoyment, and the manly art is the loser. The conditions which prevail in California should he a les son to some of our budding promoters !•'' cry one would do vv-ll to read the fable of the "Goose that laid the golden egg.” In a measure, the fighters them selves are to blame in many a case. Their exorbitant demands have driven many a promoter to devising a means to escape without having to dig into his jeans. There have been so many “ifs” in ! recent baseball deals that the players themselves may well wonder win re they are at. The Brooklyn Eagle speaks as If it were settled that Second Base- I man I )iok Egan were sure to play with Brooklyn next season. That Brooklyn has long been after Egan is an open secret, the club ro using to waive claim on him on one »r two occasions. Egan was under study for Groh and Tinker with the it ds in 1913, playing 37 games at second and 17 at short. His fielding average at second was .972, only five .pints behind Miller Huggins, who led the middle sackers with .977. Dick as not so good at shot, bu he garn rod an average of .927 at the diffi cult position. In hatting, Egan hit for .282 in 60 games, pinching quite some for the Reds. He faced various National league pitchers 195 times, made 55 hits, including seven doubles and three triples. He scored 15 runs, made 11 acrifice hits and stole 6 bases. Not uch a plethora of doings, but he did not get the opportunities lie might have, considering his respectable hit ting abilities. He outbatted Groh a point or two, although the latter play ed in more games. Eg a n was born at Portland, Ore., 11 ■ ne 23, 1 884, and first played profes sionally with the Spokane club, of the Northwest League, in 1905. That league disbanded, and Egan transferred j his scene of operations to Peoria, where he remained until the fall of 1907. lie was then drafted by Cin cinnati and turned over to Harrisburg, where his splendid work during the season of 1908 brought his recall by I the Reds. He supplanted Miller Hug- | gins at the middle station, but feil j off in his second basing for n while, j and last season was displaced by Groh I A good idea of the difficulties en countered by Joe Tinker in managing the Cincinnati club last season cc mes to light in a little story about Inc cause of one director's dislike for Tinker. After a game which Rube Benton had lost, this director sought out the Rube on his way from the field to the dressing room and roast d him for his poor work. Benton a t once reported the incident to his m anager who lost no time in looking ip the director and informing him tha* the players must he left alone, to be managed by himself only. The direct or never forgot the call, and has been i active in the fight to get rid of Joe j ver since. i This incident does not amount to much in itself, but it shows why the Cincinnati club is a failure. Authority must be centralized in baseball in or der to get good results. If the direc tors as individuals persist in giving directions or ordering this or that man “fired,” as I have known to be the case in some clubs, there is little or no chance for success. Any reason able manager is willing to confer with his employers and from such conferences much good can come, but •l'n-fi n iicp in one way or the other nroduces what is known as "joy dubs,” or those in which individual records are the serious consideration. \’o matter how bad conditions are. the individual is always looking after Ills hits and errors, but if the manage ment is uncertain team work will be lacking. A firm hand and intelligent brain are required to develop a real ball club. The failure of a galaxy of ‘-tars, and there are examples of this in big league history, arises from the fact each of the stars generally does as he pleases. Such a team will win a lot of games and pull many sensa tional plays, but in the long run it will not hold level with an average team under the guidance of men like Connie Mack.

Adolph Bock, a mining man, and Mrs. Cordelia Ryan, also a long resi dent of Ilot Springs, were married Sunday, January the 18th, at the resi dence of Commissioner Coffer. It is reported as a surprise to their friends and acquaintances in the lower river camp, but an agreeable surprise. The happy couple will make Hot Springs their home for the present, the groom being an extensive operator in that section. — HURT BT FALLING GRAVE!..

Frederick G. Passey, Ed Ilerlng. H. W. Sheldon aril Walter Mendham. seven no n who qualified as pioneers, were admitted to the secrets of the order. The so ciety Is planning a big event to take place in the early part of February. GRAND JURY EXONERATES. The grand jury on Tuesday re turned a verdict of "Not a true bill" n the Sherman case from Totatlanika. John Murphy charged that Sherman had shot at him about a year ago. Sherman claimed that in the dusk he had mistaken Murphy for a fox. The latter accepted this explanation at the time, but a few weeks ago made com daint. However, the grand jury ex onerated J. p. Sherman and he was immediately discharged from custody. The jury in the case of the United States vs Harry Jordan fail* d to find that the defendant was an accomplice after the fact with Winifred Groon in the larceny of a quantity of jewel ry. After the delierations of an hour, they brought in a verdict of not guilty and Jordan was discharged from bonds. Winifred Groon, who pleaded guilty to the robbery of Volet Lovejoy’s cabin at Tofty and was sentenced to IS months on McNeil's Island, in his confession implicated Harry Jordan, a colored man of Fairbanks. It was •barged that the defendant had re ceived some of the jewelry from Groon, knowing or having good reason to knok that the same had been stol en, and that he agreed to dispose of it and divide tlie proceeds with Groon. Jordan did obtain some money on a pair of earrings, but the defense con sisted of a showing that the defendant had purchased them outright of Groon and did not know that the property ad been stolen. Jordan made an excellent witness in his own behalf, while the appearance ■ »f Oroon uvon the witness stand was ' not what might establish confidence in his word. The defense, through piestions and intimations, sought to , arouse in the minds of the jury a suspicion that Groon might have pur chased clemency at the price of im- , ‘Heating some one else. Attorney Stevens, for the defense, argued long ind shrewdly on the improbability of Groon ever disclosing to Jordan the real truth of the possession of the jewelry, and related how the defendant 1 ad openly displayed his purchase un Vr circumstances which made it seem reasonable that he considered only that he had made a good bargain about which there was no cause for ■secrecy. .Ionian, now 57 years of age, served for 8 years in the United States arm ies. Glancing up at the flag which covers the wall above the judge’s • bnch, Stevens reminded the jury of the long service his client had ren dered this country and the injustice of convicting him upon mere infer ences growing out of the testimony. He closed with a burst of oratory, aying that this old soldier should go pree to help celebrate the passing of ’lie railroad bill when the whistles sounding through the frosty air houhl make the glad news known. Assistant Dodge closed the case for •he government, in an able way creat ing such doubt in the minds of the iury that they remained out for an hour before they brought in a ver- : diet of not guilty. COMMISSIONER Mon MAKES GOOD SHOWING The completed yearly report of Com missioner John F. Dillon was filed with Clerk of Court, Angus McBride, Thursday. It shows a balance of $100.08 to the good. The total re ceipts were $7,261.13 aud the expendi tures, including salary, $6,801. 15. This is the only commissioner’s office in the Fourth judicial division, so it is reported, that shows a balance of receipts over expenditure. This good showing is advanced by some to prove the contention that honest, competent men chan be secured for the commis sioner’s office even on the percentage dan now in vogue. HOME FROM CHISANA. Dave Carcaden and J. Tod Cowles returned Monday from a four months’ trip in the Chisana. The report of hese practical men has been eagerly looked forward to. They verify the doubts of many others who have come back from the new diggings, but like most of the otiiers, they are not ready to say that the Chisana can not ossibly make a camp. DEWET REPORTED MISSING. Harry Dewey, the Fairbanks decora tor who left for the Chisana last •ill, has not been heard from and his friends are greatly concerned about him. Unconfirmed reports are to the effect that he left Dawson with a good-sized outfit of articles incident to his trade, and left on an overland trip to the vicinity of the new dig ings. As his financial interests here would indicate that he is unable to communicate, the worst is feared. SHAFT TO BE PUMPED. The operators on the Last Chance association claim on Engineer, creek not discouraged, and will, ac cording to reports, continue work on t lie flooded shaft. They will start lumping in a few days and are con fident that they can handle the flow of water with their large pump. Joe Burns, one of the operators, reports that they have good pay in sight, and so soon as the snow begins to thaw a good-sized crew' will be put to work. ECKERT’S TERM EXPIRES. Frank Eckert, having served two months in jail for assault with a dead ly weapon, was released on Wednes day. Eckert, who had worked for John Patten, had some trouble in get ijig his money. Believing that he would be beaten out of his wages if he did not take drastic measures, ckert went out to Patten’s ranch and brought him to town with a gun. At the conclusion of more than two months’ practice, the Fairbanks Choral society on Wednesday announced the program that will be given on Friday evening, January 30, for t lie benefit *f the two hospitals. The soloists In the concert will be Mrs. Theron E. 1-Yll and Mr. Max Smith. It need not be reiterated that this concert will be one nf the best ever given by this apable society under tlie direction of William J. Nolan The program is as ollows: PART I. Overt tiro .

At least the "hristmas spirit manifested itself twice, the second time with all the ardor which the birthday celebration suggests'. No one was reminded that this is the winter of our discontent" as he ga/.ed at the myriad-lighted - vergreens, drooping with their weight 1 »f gifts. At St. Matthew's church on Friday 1 afternoon the babies were treated, many to their first sight of a Christ mas tree. Their little eyes were wells of wonder as they stared and blink ed and stared, and it is a safe ven ture that many in after life will re call this scene as their earliest re collection. It is certainly a pleasant incident to date one’s mind, it is one’s irst sight of ft Christmas tree. In the evening. St. Matthew's gave the added attraction of Jacob’s Lad der for the pleasure of the Sunday school children and their friends. And Santa Claus, because he was willing to come late rather than not to come it all, was thrice welcome. There ap reared to be gifts for every one from he bountiful tree. The Presbyterian church was aonth- ] •r candle-lighted scene of a belated j Christmas. A program of rectations i and music prefaced the distribution »f presents, the anthems which were sung equaled only by those rendered at St. Matthew's. Here also a small tree was decorated for the especial • lea sure of the children under three •ears of age. A full dialled account of the even ing would fall short of expressing •he real pleasure manifested by those attending. Both churches proved by the success of the commemoration, that Christmas is more a matter spirit than of date; that any day and every day can be made one of cheer if we nly think so. BAM LOWRY INJURED. A fast dog team brought Sam Lowry to St. Joseph's hospital Wednesday afternoon where the surgeon attended o an ugly gash in the man’s leg. A’hile cutting wood at Olnes, Mr. Lowry struck his limb a powerful blow with the sharp axe. An artery was severed, causing a great loss of blood and weakening the injured man very perceptibly. However, should no complications set in, it is ex pected that the wound will not prove a dangerous one. ODD FELLOWS MEET. In its hall on First avenue Thurs lay evening, Fairbanks lodge No. 3, J. >. O. F., held its regular business meeting. The attendance was large and it is reported that the member ship is increasing rapidly. At the next meeting it is promised that some Important business will be discussed. TOO TALKATIVE. It was a beautiful evening and Ole, who had screwed up courage to take Mary for a ride, was carried away .» the magic of the night. “Mary,” he asked, “will you marry me?” "Yes, Ole," she answered softly. Ole lapsed into a silence that at 'art became painful to his fiancee. “Ole,” she said desperately, “why don’t you say something?” “Ay tank,” Ole replied, “hey bane or) much said already.” NOTICE TO CREDITORS.
