KAUFMAN MAY MEET GUS
Delaney Offers to Match Cali
fornian With Madden'S
Akron Giant,

New York. Feb. 1O.-There is a good
chance that the opening attraction at
Tom ORourke's new boxing club, the
Tuxedo, just outside of Philadelphia,
will bring together AL Kaufman, the
young California heavyweight, and Gus
Rubin. one of the numerous claimants
for the heavyweight championship.
O'ROurke has been at some trouble to
secure what he thinks is a suitable card
for his opening fights at the new organ
izGtion. He wants heavyweights and has
been looking about for a good man to
meet Rubin. O'Brien could not take the
engagement that Tom offered him. Now
comes Billy Delaney, who offers to bring
his young California giant east for the
meeting. Kaufman recently gave Dave
Barry of the coast a severe thrashing
and in a measure wiped out the bad de
teat ne received at the hands of Jack
O Brien.
O'Rourke has wired Delaney that he
will give the fighters so per cent of the
gross receipts and expects a favorable
reply. O'Rourke says he does not care
how the fighters split the money. Rub
lin already has accepted.

: BASEBALL YARNS 3:
eff You Can't Talk. Make sians."

John Morrill, tells a good story on Jack
Burdock, the famous Boston second base
man. Back in the middle sos, when John
Birdie was captain, the team was playing
a morning game on July 4 in New York.
They were scheduled to play in the aft
ernoon in Philadelphia and it was neces-
sary to catch an early train. AS is often
the case in such emergencies, the game
dragged, and Burdock, in spite Of re-
peated requests from his manager, was
in kicking mood, and was largely the
cause of the slowness of the contest. AS
BurdOck was boss in the field, Manager
Morrill, was helpless. Finally a point
came up when Buck Ewing was at the
bat. and BurdOck rushed in toward the
plate, white with rage. He was so mad
after the first few words hurled at the
umpire that he could not talk. The sit
uatiOn was funny in itself. but Buck,
who never lost an opportunity for fun.
exclaimed: For heavens sake, Jack, if
you can't talk. make signs"
AS everybody was convulsed with
laughter, BurdOck lost no time getting
back to his position.

LIFE Of JAMES ]. JEFFRIES AS IT WILL
Be CHRONCLED IN PLUTARCHS VOLUME

Many years ago there lived in Ohio
man whose name was Jeffries. He fig
ured that the law of chances gave a boy
about one chance in twenty million to be
come a senator or president, and he
didn't worry his offspring with that kind
of talk. He taught his youngsters that
this life is one Of hard knocks, that the
man who strikes the hardest blows lands
on top, and that every fellow must fight
his own battles.
Young Jim Jeffries took the teachings
literally, and at the age of 6 had achieved
some literal success by cleaning out
district school. He was one of those kids
who never shed tear when the teacher
applied the barrel StaVe. and who always
waited just off the school grounds to do
up the lad that squealed on him.
1t was strictly in the line of destiny
that led Jeffries, the older to hike across
the great American desert to California,
where scrappers grew large and strong.
1t was also destiny that caused the fam
lily TO locate within sight of a brass fOun-
dry, where young Jeffries soon accepted
a position as office boy. One of his jobs
was to clean out the office, and he did
such a swell job one Saturday. with an
other office boy as a broom. that he was
promoted to the works. For a time he
worked the shift lever on q stamping ma
chine until he became altogether too
Shifty.
In the course of time he advanced to
the punching room. where he took one
at the foreman, and was moved into the
trimming department. He might still
have been there had he confined him
self to brass, but he included the super
intendent in his efforts. The president
of the company became convinced that
he had done all he could for Jeffries and
was glad to see him leave for Carson
City. New, one day in the early spring
Of 1897.
On arriving Jeffries secured a position
as target with a man named COrbett. At
first he remembered that life is full Of
hard knocks. Then it occurred to him
that every man should put in a few ticks
on his own account 1t is now claimed
and cOrrObOrated by all but one man that
following this sudden recollection there
was a prize fight every day for a week,

WILL KEEP COACH YOST.
Michigan Decides to Retain Famous
Football Tactician,

Ann Aabor, Mich, Feb. 1O.-The Univer-
sity of Michigan has voted to retain
Coach YOst for the Michigan football
eleven, regardless of the recommendations
of the recent Chicago football conference
which declared against professional
coaches who were not faculty members.
The proposal made by the University of
Chicago that football be abolished for
two years was defeated by a decisive
vote. 1t was decided to accept the Chi
three years eligibility rule, but at the
University of Michigan the rule is not t.
be retroactive. The recommendation TO
abolish training tables was accepted, as
were also the remaining recommendations
of the Chicago conference.

JACK O'BRIEN MAY MEET
CHAMPION OF ENGLAND

It is probable that a match will be
arranged between Philadelphia Jack
OBrien and Jack Palmer, the English
heavyweight champion. AS matters
stand at present the fight Is scheduled
for the National Sporting club of Lon
don, but an effort will be made to have
Palmer come to this country to meet
O'Brien.
If the Englishman is induced to jour-
ney across the Atlantic the fight will
probably be pulled off by Tom O'Rourke
in his new club near. Philadelphia.
O'Rourke will offer a purse of $4,000
for the bout, but If necessary will in

Balls Without Miss.

Chicago, Feb 10.-AIthough Charley
Weston, the cowboy pool champion. y
made a run of seventy-two balls at the
