HOME FROM CUBA.

Pitcher Nops Thinks the Players There
 Can Do Good Work.
 Jerry Nops, the southpaw twirler, formerly of the Baltimore and later with the Brooklyn base ball club, has returned from campaign through Florida and Cuba with Leonard's picked Lynn team. Jerry has volumes of good words for the courteous way the players were received. Before h-s visit to Cuba and an actual experience with the Cuban ball players, he did not have very good opinion of their ability. but now asserts that if anyone thinks that the Cubans ares not up to snuff in every stage and move of the game they are sadly mistaken. He says the Cubans will make worthy op- ponents of any team i'll the American tor National leagues.

Four, new pitchers are in i line: Hogg. Ga right-hander from Spo- kane: Doc Newton. the left-hander formerly of Brooklyn, but at present with the crack Los Angeles team: Holycross, a promising youngster from the "Three Eyed" league, and Starkell. strapping big fellow from Boise City. Griffith, who is at pres ent on his ranch in the west, is due in New York OH December 20, when he will begin signing the old stars.
 He will retain the pitchers Chesbro, Powell, Putnam, Orth and Clark son. but may make one or two deals that will change the complexion of the team outside of the box.
 Jim Mcclure, the veteran catcher, threatens to retire, in which event a. new backstop will be secured to help out Kleinow and McNIanus. Jack Doyle, who is free to sign anywhere, may be Griffith's selection. Doyle suffered from weak leg last season | Philadelphia club He got it ano took long rest. Now he has tiecid- ed to devote his time in future to catching and in February. he will go to Hot Springs for course of train ing. Doyle intends to ask Griffith for a trial and says he . es not want 8 penny for his services unless he can make good. Jacks throwing arm is as strong as ever and he be- lieyes that with his long experience he can be of assistance to the New York Americans. He is aggressive, game and popular with New York fanss s s
 When the season closed John Gan gel informed the club officials that he did not intend to play in New York again and that he was going to buy franchise 1n one of the western minor leagues.

 A good sized crowd was present at the six round bout between Mississip. pi. colored, and Jack Durane of Sa. vannah, Ga, at the Wilmington A. G., Wilmington, Del, last Wednesday night The result was a draw. The bout was one series Of mix-ups from the beginning. Both rushed and triea to end matters in a hurry. For three rounds it was an even break, both going for the body with good effect En the fourth Mississippi acted on the defensive. getting away from several well aimed swings. In the fifth Du- sane sent the negro half way across he ring with jolt on the jaw. Mis- ,sissippI was groggy, but kept his feet. In the final round Mississippi was as fresh as a daisy. He forced his man to the ropes and had Durane stagger- ing. The southerner was in a bad way when the gong sounded, but MississiD pPs advantage in, this round had nb material effect on the general result.

 Coach Amos Foster of the Univer- sity of Cincinnati, q famous Dart mouth fullback, who saw the Michi- gan-Chicago game at Ann Arbor, has the following to say on the much mooted question of Eastern Vs West Rern superiority: The Michigan team s HWeight is really remarkable. The various weights, as given out in the ppapers, are entirely false. Unless I am greatly mistaken, Michigan had no man from tackle to tackle who did not weigh at least 22O pounds, and some of her men would tip the scales at nearly 250. Her backs, I feel sure will average 1S0N pounds or more. This terrific. weight, combined with the speed which Coach Yost has de veloped in his team, makes a football machine formidable in the extreme, Michigan has two great faults. She was wretchedly poor in the kicking game,- and gave the worst exhibition of fumbling that I ever witnessed be- tween first-class teams. So many
 Western people have asked me the question whether Michigan could win from the teams in the east thatSI like this opportunity to answer. Some days ago when the question was ask ed I replied that judging from all
 I could learn, Michigan should win
 After having. seen Saturdays game l am doubtful. 1t was plain to any | football man that afternoon that
 while Michigan played a remarkably | fast game at times, she was not con sistent, she could not kick and was 1 apt to tumble Judging from that
 game, my opinion is that Michigan could not defeat any one Of the three
 best teams in the east.''
