III there is anybody in the country
who has not been mentioned as the
future manager of the Cincinnati Reds

counted. No team in recent years has
a as many managers as the Reds
on paper.

tory to a swing through the south.

leland.
They are going to play as good base
ball as they can in the Southern
league next year and keep inside the
salary limit of $1,000. Bonuses. ex.
tras and presents to players are to
be strictly tabooed. Any magnate

Young Corbett and Abe Attell viii
be matched to fight before Ton
O'Rourke's new Tuxedo club, neal
Philadelphia, in the near future. These
two little fellows are open enemies
and are anxious to pay off old scores
They do not speak as they pass by

There is a strong probability that
Mike CTwin) Sullivan and Joe Cans
viii be matched to go twenty rounds
during the month of January, at
Colma, Cal. The men have agreed TO
sign. As Sullivan is fighting every.
thing hat seems to stand in his way

and needs the money so badly he
would fight almost anything at any
weight, Just so long as he got a part
Of the purse. Such a combination

This is the melancholy season OF
the year in the sporting world. Foot
ball has passed from the scene, base
ball is alternating in fur lined blan-
kets, the turf wal in the south is
about as exciting as a Central Amer
lean revolution, while only an occa-
sional prize fight looms on the nor
lion. A r~ip-snorting discussion of foot
ball brutality and the necessity of re-
vising the rules Is about the only
topic that may be galvanized into
life to fill long columns of thin-faced
type. Throughout the nation the
sporting writer's are organizing them
selves into debating clubs to discuss
the question: (Which is the most pro-
life of broken bones-the low tackle
or the mass play? Should the game
be barred? Would the elimination of
the paid coach benefit the gamer"
The argument should be confined to
$500 words.
