Pat Dougherty has signed with the
Chicago American league club for 1907,
and baseball players wonder whether
his Tuck will land him with another
champion team. He has played with
two American league clubs that have
won the pennant
Jack Johnson and Peter Felix, a cou-
sin of Peter Jackson, have been
matched to meet in a twenty-round
battle in Australia in the spring of the
year. This is the news Sig Hart re-
ceived from the matchmaker of the
club in letter which reached him in
Chicago few days ago.
Herbert Sanford, formerly star on
the Carlisle and Cornell football teams,
had both feet frozen while cutting ice
near Des Moines, Iowa, last week. His
condition is serious. Sanford is an In
dian and was guard at Cornell a year
ago. While standing in the frozen riv-

gan and Minnesota, will have an east
ern football game this coming season,
or rather a game against an eastern

new interest in the middleweight divi-

the most important is that of Hugo
Kelly, probably the greatest middle
weight alive, excepting, of course, Tom
my Ryan. Ryan and Kelly were
matched before, but the match fell
through.
Cyclone Johnny" Thompson, the
crack lightweight of Illinois, who can
secure backing for $1,000 to fight any
lightweight in the world, barring Joe
Cans, has just been matched to fight
"Rufe" Turner, the colored lightweight
of California, for twenty rounds for a
purse Of $4,000 at Marysville, Cal, on
February %. Turner has been getting
whipped by fighters out on the coast,
and the prospects are that Thompson
will also beat him.
It's come at last. A few days ago 1t
was heralded throughout the land that
Iron Man" Joe MsGinnity, pitcher for
Clarke's Highlanders, has retired from
the game. Sporting editors expected
a denial of the report within three
days; fans expected it within week.
Neither are disappointed. The denial
has come. It is stated that McGinnity
