WILL JIM DELIEHANTY DO?
McAleer Thinks He Can Bat. But How
About His Fielding.

st. Louis, Dec. 19.-McAleer added
a new angle to the prospects for the
Browns next season when he secured
Jim Delehanty from the Cincinnati
club Saturday. His idea in securing
The member of a famous baseball fam
lily was undoubtedly to plug up the
hole at third base that exists at pres
emit Failure to land Jim Collins was
undoubtedly what finally determined
McAleer to secure Delehanty, as the
far corner Of the diamondsis the one
the Brown manager is MOST likely to
have trouble in filling.
His average last season in the Ma
tiOnal league according to the official
figures, was $50 in 112 games His
detail record in the batting line was
379 times up, with LOG hits and SO
runs. His total base record was 1873
bases, 81 two base hits, 4 three base
hits and one home run counting in the
total. He stole Fl bases and made IL
sacrifice hits. He finished 23 in the
National league, and this record places
him above par in batting.
Where he is most likely to fail is,
however, in the field. He played in
1O5 games at third base and finished
with an average of -903, this placing
him next to last in the league in field
ing. Delehanty's detail record in the
field is 1876 put outs and 10 assists,
total of 339 chances, with 50 errors
His low standing in the averages is
not so much against him as other first
class fielders are also far from the
top, but, on the other hand, his work
in St. Louis was not impressive One
point in his favor is that he improved
as he became more familiar with the
third base position: The year before
Delehanty played in the outfield for
Birmingham in the Southern league,
where ne batted above the 800 mark,
while his fielding was but average.

Big Fellow Announces That He
Will Meet Johnson.
FOR A $4,000 PURSE.
''Tex" Richard, the Promoter,
Working Up tho Bout.
Wants the Battle Pulled Off in
July at GOIdfield.

New York, Dec. 19.-James J. JEFF
fries, champion pugiIist of the world,
has agreed to fight once more and will
be seen in finish hattie for the worlds
heavyweight title next July. The big
fellow" angry over the talk that big
Jack" Johnson, the negro heavyweight
pugilist. had driven him into retire
ment, has sent his acceptance of the
$4,000 purse offered by Tex Richard
OF Goldheld, New, for him to meet
johnson and now the match is as good
as made. Sam Fitzpatrick, Johnson's
manager, was told by Richard that
Jeffries had agreed to fight and he is
now ready to fix up the Johnson end
OF the arrangement.
At once, on the signing Of articles,
Rickard will post a guarantee for the
SGT, 600 purse. He wants to hold the
night in the same ring in GOldfeld in
which Joe Cans and Battling Nelson
fought for the lightweight champion
ship last Labor day. Richard is posi-
we that he will be able to hang up
the enormous purse and still make
money.
The return to the ring of the cham
pion was not altogether unexpected. for
ne has been flirting with matchmakers
OF and on Tor nearly a year. The only
thing that kept him from donning the
''mitts" was the fact that he could find
no suitable opponent. He had time
after Time refused to talk fight with
johnson, saying he barred him on ac-
count of his color
There have been various reports
from various sources that Jehries
would re-enter the ring, but this story
from New York seems to be the most
authentic yet. Tex Richard has
been on Jeffries' trail ever since the
Gans-Nelson fight and it is possible that
the Goldfield promoter will be able to
pull off the go. However, nothing
authentic will be known until word
comes from Jeffries direct.

AAtC AAAS[ASs
Chicago, Dec. 19.@President Chas.
W. Murphy of the Cubs, states that he
proposes to number the players on uis

Der on the uniform in such way that
all IN the stands could see it. The
question was discussed at the league
meeting and Murphy declares that the

The idea is to enlighten the public
as to the identity of the players. SO that

the club owners and managers on the
question and they all thought it a good
sch eme.
Jockeys are numbered, and athletes
in other games, and 1 think it right
that spectators should know who is
VINO on the bali field as well. The
players name would be in the score
book and his number by the side of it.
I'VE have two or three deals In
were talked over at the meeting, but it
was no easy matter to pull off trades
there. Every club in the National
league made money last year and the
owners are not willing to part with
any of their stars

pleted whereby Chick Fraser will wear
a Cub uniform in 1907, The Cdncin-
natl pitcher should strengthen the Chi
cago pitching staff. as he has a great
many good games left in him.
THE Chicago club doubtless will
take the initiative in erecting an apart
m ent where the umpires can take
shower bath after their hard work on
the field. It viii not be next to the
new clubhOuses for players, because
at times it might be necessary to use

said Maj. F. M. NJ. Beall, who is at the

turned from that territory.
The principal thing to be careful
about is keeping the head, hands, and
feet warm. In that part of Alaska
where have been the only land trans
portation is by dog sleds, and to follow
them one has to drop into a dog trot be-
side the sled.
AN ordinary suit is plenty thick
enough to keep you warm, and an over
coat is dangerous in that temperature
Trotting alongside a sled wearing an
oVercoat would make you perspire, and
the bitter cold would freeze the persplr-

covers every part of the head and face
except the eyes, and there is only a little
peep hole for them. Wool-lined mitts
