WILL NOT PART
WITH HONUS WAGNER

PtTTSBURG. Pa. December 1S-Barney
Dresf fuss of the Pittsburg ball team last
evening put cuietus to the intimation that
Pittsburg was either trying to dispose of
the services Of Wagner or that he would
consider any kind of an offer for the big
fellow. He said: when l am ready to
quit base bail then may think OF disposing
OF Wagner. but so long l remain in the
game he will play for me or not at ALL 1
consider the Dutchman one of my assets,
M principal asset, l might say, and I
would not part with him for any amount of
money nor for all the players l know 1
consider 1t unkind on the part of those out
side Pttsburs to start the rumor that Wag-
may play here there. He is going
to stay right in Pittsburg and play the
game.
However. Barney has not said that Wag-
ner has signed or that he has talked bust
ness with him, and ii is a we'll known fact
that the big fellow has not come anyway
near signing a contract. He came home
from a hunting trip yesterday. shrugged his
shoulders when asked when he would sign
a contract and refused to talk at all about
the transfer of his side partner, Ritchey.

BASKET BALL GIRLS HURT.
Broken Leg and Sprained Ankle in
Normal School Game.

TRENTON, N. J.. December 1S.-A broken
leg and a sprained ankle, the result of one
basket ball game between girls of the New
Jersey State Normal School here yesterday,
are likely to result in prohibition of the
game forever in this school.
Helen Lee and Julia Goldberg were the
martyrs whose misfortunes may rob the
school Of strenuous athletics. Miss Gold
berg was playing center in a game between
High School class and High School C
class In q scrimmage she sustained a
badly sprained ankle. She was attended
by Physical Director H. B. Boyce and sent
home for care. Miss Lee had been an in
terested spectator of the game from the
side lines, and she volunteered TO take Miss
Goldberg's place. No sooner had the game
been resumed than she became the center
of a lively skirmish. She cried out in pain,
and when the girls were disentangled she
was found to have sustained compound
fracture OF the right leg, between the knee
and the ankle. So severe was her injury
that she was semi-consciOus when she was
carried to the dressing room.

Mr.. Hughes arranged with Col. wills
L. Ogden of Brooklyn, former president
Of the civil service board, to make the
tour just at the time when he would
see the rush at it's worst
The police had been tipped on, and
Capt. Murtha Of the bridge squad. with
Detectives Jepson and English. were at
the bridge entrance to meet Mr.. Hughes
and Col. Ogden when they rolled up to
the bridge in a big automobile Just
when the mad rush Brooklynward was
about reaching high tide.
Got All Experience He Wished.
Mr.. Hughes got out Of the automobile
in Park Row, and in less than two min

what was happening he was swept for

the elevated stairways. and 1t was all
that Capt. Murtha and the police escort
could do to rescue him and conduct him
to an isle of safety. whence he could
watch the currents of humanity pouring
into the narrow bridge entrance from all
directions. Mr.. Hughes. with evident in

Then the governor elect made a dash

police officials might Just as well have
tried to hammer a dry path through a

into his own hands and fought his way

CANS WORRIES
OFF EXTRA WEIGHT

-,TONOPAH. New, December 1S.-Contrary
to general opinion, Joe Cans will have to
make weight for his coming battle with
Kid Herman. Cans. II he weighs more
than LIZ pounds, runs the risk of having
Herman refuse to fight. in which case the
club before which the men are to fight will
be entitled to take both appearance for
fei+s.
Herman is working like a beaver every
day. but Cans is taking things rather
easily. The negro champion. in a statement
last evening. announced that he Is taking
of weight more by worrying than by exer-
cising. He said
THE weight question is the least of my
troubles. L can make 1873 pounds with ease
and while 1t is not generally known to the
public. | will get down to this weight by
worrying about making 1t. I cannot ex-
plain eactly how 1 do this, but il is a fact
that In all of my fights where am re-
quired to make low weight. 1 get rid of
flesh by always keeping in mind that I
must make the weight Just keep telling
myself that Eve got to get down to the
notch During my training for the Nelson
fight l had a great deal at stake to force
me to make the weight and the constant
worrying over what would lose il failed
to do so helped me to take OF flesh. In
this fight ii is the same. 1 see that the
articles leave nothing for me to do but to
this in mind. l cannot afford to jeopardize
my chances In this match. and this thought
will help me to 133 all right"
This seems to be true. for Cans is not
toiling hard enough to take Oft much
weight. He doesn't seem to be worrying
either. 1t must be that the dusky fighter
Ia an advanced Christian Scientist and can
make his body follow the dictates of his
mind and will He has already made the
rounds of several OF the gaming houses,
and has lost many dollars throwing the
dice. IL may be that Joe holds Herman too
cheaply. but when the champion does work
he shows all of his former speed and ac-
curacy.
Herman, on the other hand. knows that
lie will have to fight the greatest battle
of his career to win from Cans, and he is
working hard all the time. The Chicago
fighter has gained strength rapidly and his
road work has given him wonderful lung
power. Herman declares that he will be
able TO assimilate Cans most terrific
punches even more easily than Nelson did

ible in going to the flag and incomparably
brilliant in his brassie shots, lie has been
national figure in golf way for some
years
After being runner up in two national
tournaments, he landed the title last year.
Since that time in a minor way he has not
been idle. Last fall he won the amateur as
we'll the open championship Of western
Pennsylvania in the competition for the

NEW ORLEANS December 1S-Jockey
Garner rode two winners yesterday at the
City Park track. Envoy and Fonsoluca

By superior skill he landed his horses

This chubby lad, who caused a wild SEN
sation in eastern turf cities by riding a
number of winners for John A. Drake this
spring, is easily the best jockey here. He
proved this clearly in the third and fifth
races. His horses, Envoy and Fonsoluca,

The battle of Mukden, which lasted for
nineteen days and nights. in the RAIN
