With a Record.

Kansas City, March 14.-Another
new player has been added to the
roster of the Kansas City club The
new man is a southpaw pitcher named
Frank Decanier who halls from Gree
ley. Kas, where he is known as a
phenomenal dispenser of curves. Very
little is known of Decanier and he IS
probably a youngster who has shown
that he can deliver the goods IN kan
sas He will be given a thorough try
out by Tebeau. Decanier was recon-
rnended to Tebeau by Galbreath, the
manager of the lola team in the new
Kansas State league.
Decanier is the seventh new player
whom Tebeau has signed. The time
for reporting is gradually drawing
near and all of the men should be in
Kansas City within two weeks. The

ArIchigan Guard Quits.

Ann Arbor. Mich, March 14,-H. F.
Schultz the big St Louis man who
played guard on the Michigan football
eleven for the last three years. was
eligible to play on the team during
1905. 1t was alleged at the start OF
the 1905 season that Schultz had
PLAYED two years on the Washington
University eleven, St. Louis and two
at Michigan and was therefore in
eligible to compete on the Michigan
team of 1905. Schultz was allowed to
play however. Prof Waldo. after
visiting Chicago, St Louis and Ann
Arbor. states that Schultz played but
one year at Washington and, including
last year, three at Michigan, which
gives him four years in collegiate attn
letics, which winds up his varsity ath-
Ietic career.

Wellington was mush. The best in
the ring have tried to cave it in and
failed. Herrera, Jimmy Britt Young
COrbett Kid Sullivan and many 9th
ers have taken an Intellectual punch at
1t. Now it's up to the Terry boy to
try his hand. He has a good muscle
and may succeed in what others have
not done
''Terry's trouble now is his tin jaw"
Edgren continued. He used to have
tough one, but that time has passed and
If Nelson gets in one good homegoer on
Terry's chin he is likely to have the
scrap cInched.''
Tom Sharkey has picked Terry Nc
Govern as a sure winner for tonight.
The sailor says that Terry will 10 it in
side of three rounds and that Nelson
has no show because the Dane is good
only when the game is a. staying one.
IF Terry doesn't put the Dane out
in q mighty short time then I'll give
up the 1igh ting dope and go back to the
tall timbers," said Tom last night.
Nelson is all right when it comes to a
sticking proposition. but in a short
game with Terry he sure is up against
it good and proper. I've seen Terry
and I know what sort of shape he's in.
He's in good shape and prepared to do
some work that viii startle himself
even.

Herrera Wants Match.
Herrera has wired to several friends
here that he hopes to see Nelson in the
ring before long. The Mexican says
that he would like to meet the Dane
in a twenty-round go in Los Angeles
Herrera says that he was not in con-
diticn when he fought Nelson and
therefore wants another Whack at him.
The Mexican has even gone so far as
to begin preparative work for the pos
sible match.
Both Below Ringside Weight.
Both McCovern and Nelson are now
below the stipulated ringside weight of
133 pounds. Nelson tips the scales at
131 pounds, while Terry is a half
pound heavier. Both of the men have
also given UP boxing. However, they
take enough good exercise to keep
them in shape Terry saws that he's
not going to take any chances with his
hands and reports from Essington have
the durable man from Denmark as be-
ing of the same opinion regarding his
paws.
Put Coin on Me-
Battling Nelson seems to be pretty
confident that he's going to put Terry
down, for a friend of his stated today
that Nelson was advising all of his
friends to put their coin on him. The
friend said that Nelson's remark was:
It's sure thing, old man; put it up"
Jack O'Brien looked over the cham
pion in the course of the day and the
Pc played game of rokO. It was
o. Brien's first attempt at the game and
he was beaten by Nelson, who is an
expert. O'Brien picks the Dane to win
by the knockout route and says that

HOPPE WILL BET $4,000.
Boy Billiard Player Positive Slosson
Cannot Beat Him.


New York, March 14.-When Willie
Hoppe saw George Slosson's assertion
that he would win the match on March
~ by $50 points the young champion
smiled.
Mr.. slosson." said the boy. s'has had
a long and honorable career as q bill
llaFdist, and do not wish to say any
thing disrespectful. But he announces
boldly that he will beat me by $50
points in 500. That calls for a reply
from me. and in my answer will en-
deavor to treat him with the respect
that is due to a man OF his years and
skill.
when a player feels confident of
success in a match as Mr. Slosson evil
IDENTIFY does it is natural to suppose he
! IS ready to support his opinion with the
money, and as Mr.. Slosson some months
ago intimated that he would be willing
to play me for large side bet, I as
sumo that he still possesses that will
ingness- If he can beat me by ten
points mot 800 he can win a large
amount Of money, and doubtless this
would not be displeasing to Mr.. Slosson.
Personally, I do not believe he can
defeat me by $50 points or by any num-
Der OF points. On the contrary, 7 am
quite positive I will have more points
than he when the game is ended on
March a. So firm is my belief on that
! head that 1 am wiling to back my be-
/ lief with money. TO be specific: I will
bet Mr.. Slosson $4,000 that I defeat him
on March q. Quite naturally. he may
| say that my figure is too high. and he
may be of the opirion that I cannot
produce that amount But let him say
| the word and the money will be forth
coming.
"I doubt very much, however. if Mr..
Slosson would care to risk that amount
on the outcome of the game with me.

he feels like betting on his chances and

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.
The Directors Hold a Peace Meeting
in Chicago.

in Chicago.
Chicago. March 14.=Directors of
the American association met at the
Grand Pacific and patched up the in
ternationaI strife of the organization
sufficiently to organize for the coming
season. The peace concessions were
indicated by the makeup OF a commit
tee that was appointed to draft a
schedule. The members Of this body
are President J. D. O'Brien. George
Tebeau, of Louisville, and J. Ed Grilio.
of Toledo, the latter two being prom
inent members Of the opposition fac
lions.
It was decided that the season will
open on April IS with the western
clubs in the eastern cities. President
o Brien was appointed a committee Of
one to make transportation arrange
ments. He will issue a call for a meet
ing of the whole league to be held at
the Grand Pacific hotel on March IS,
at which time the schedule viii be
adopted.
The days session was called by
George Tebeau, who is president of
the directors of the association, and
all of the members were present ex-
cept Watkins. of Minneapolis, and
Bryce, of Columbus. The latter was
in California. The Watkins faction
was represented by J. Ed Grillo and
Charles F. Bushaupt Of Indianapolis,
VIM As N6lkAl8 partner. InIB insured
an even representation by both Sides
The affairs of the league were put
in a tangled condition on January Is,
when the annual meeting of the or
ganization was supposed to be held at
the Auditorium Annex. There was a
meeting of the board of directors on
the day before. and the fractional fight
ing became so prominent that the
league meeting never was held.
Members left the city, and it looked
as though there would be trouble in
organizing for the season. When the
time approached for the opening OF
the season, everybody was willing to
stop fighting long enough to adopt a
schedule and get to work
Many Of the differences have not
been settled, but by tacit agreement
will be allowed to lie over until the
close of the season. The Kelly case
was not taken UP. and probably will
not be until the meeting Of March rs.

Medical examination Of Terrible
Terry has brought out the fact that he
iH possessed of but one weakness-his
heart is a trifie enlarged Those wise

IS hardly a. weakness. for there are but

hearts are not a trifie above the aver

and right-hRnd hook and does things
when it happens. Terry is, moreover,
broadening out in front and behind and
his wind is all that could be desired
as he trOts five miles or more without
turning a hair. after which he is just
as speedy and strong with his wallops
as If he had just turned out Of the hay.
Think Terry Is a Winner.
If Terry goes into the fight in such
good shape his followers say that it is
a sure thing, for they claim he is a stay
er good and proper, and that when he
looks most AL in" he wallops hardest.
If McGOvern is in good shape reports
from Essington show that Nelson is
Just as hefty- The reports say he of
the battling proclivities, has reached
that condition that nothing makes him
tired. that he works early and late and
that he is just about as sure Of coming
out Of the contest victorious as is Terry.
They say, TOO, Nelson Is learning how
that his head work. on which his back
ers are chiefly relying. is still with him.
