MAN WITH BIG RUNA5ouT
PRoVES REAL SAMARITAN

R. G. Kelsey, with his big Haynes
runabout of fifty-horse power, proved
himself Samaritan when he went out
to meet the Germans on their trip from
New York to Philadelphia en- route to
Alaska. Mr.. Kelsey gave the Euro
peans a tow early In the morning and
stayed with them until quite early, aid
ing them to reach the City of Brotherly
Love. The hard work of towing the big
car through the snow and the intense
cold told upon the popular driver and
he was compelled at ali early hour 20
give up the struggle owing to Ill health.
The Germans were out os their troubles
at the time and managed to reach Phil

when they were taken in hand, put IN

McGovern and Corbett do not look
like the two little fellows who fought
a desperate battle few years ago.
when McGovern lost the championship
to his opponent. Corbett now weighs
1853 pounds and McGovern is not an
ounce lighter. Both have confidence,
however, that McGovern can make
weight and still be able to put up a
fast mill.
In their bouts at the Howard Corbett
has nothing on McGovern. The latter
steps about the ring with swiftness and
lands jabs wherever he pleases. 1t
would not be improbable if the two
should meet now for a finish fight
that McGovern would easily win back
the honors he lost few years ago.

Honor at Delayed

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Feb. 20.--Twenfy players of
the Chicago American league baseball club,
headed by @. A. COmiskey, president of the
organization, left here tonight for Los An
geles, where the spring training season Of
the team Ia TO be inaugurated. After the
team reaches California 1t will be divided
into squads, which will play exhibition
games at q number of cities on the way
back to Chicago.
TN HE Nelson Britt fight at the Cabin
is not the only big happening to
- be recorded Tuesday night, and
Hen Berry is emphatic in the state
raent that at least one other event will
occur to make the sporting world in
Los Angeles sit up and take a peep at
the dope The advent of the White
Sox and their retinue is the cause of
the banquetless kings spasm, and all
the fans south of the Tehachepi are
with him in watching the time table for
arrivals from Chicago.
Eastern ball teams in plenty have
visited Los Angeles, but they never
came with the blare of trumpets and
footing of whistles which herald the
White Sox and their arrival. A special
train. the best the Rock Island system
could string together. VIII bring the
bunch away from the lake shore, and
tEey will be the most luxurious outfit
that ever traveied under the name of
ball team.
There are over thirty players in the
party and the boys who are travelling
double will bring their wives out for a
few weeks OF sunshine Including Pres
ident Comlskey and his friends, more
than fifty persons will line up at the
palatial grub counte~ In the dining car
Ter their three squares every day from
o'clock last night, when they left

In the ranks of the White Sox are
some of the best known bat swingers
in the business Starting with Charlie
Comiskey, the president, and going
down the line past Manager Jones and
Nick Altrock. the names of players

tried out before they make the return
tip home, the Chicago Americans are
as formidable an outfit as ever visited
the Pacific coast.
And Hen Berry will be on hand to re-
ceive them. The Angels are nearly all
in and ready to report for practice to-
fcorrow afternoon, and the sartorial
wonder is sure that his men will give
the eastern leaguers the run of their
lives, whether playing against the first
team or the nine that will be christ
ened team No. 2.
One thing that win bring joy to
the hungry is the fact that the long de-
ferred banquet MAY be realized. Hen
has decided to honor Comiskey and his
men by giving them a feed at some
cheap delicatessen foundry, and will
use the occasion to pay off his honest
debt to the pencil pushers of the town.
So speed the White Sox on their way.
The burg is full of hungry men.

BURNS EASY VICTORIES
HURT GAME IN ENGLAND

LONDON, Feb 29-The ease with
which Tommy Burns, the American
heavyweight pugilist, polished off his
opponent, Jack Palmer, is likely to
prove the death knell to contests be-

sporting circles that Burns will have as
easy a time in defeating Joe Roche,

sight is Owen Moran. The English lad
made Able go the limit in their recent
encounter, and with talk of return
match in the air they will undoubtedly
be brought together again at no dis
tant date.
Regardless of how the fight appeared
to the spectators, it may be that Attell
was framing things for the money that
will come to their next meeting, and
perhaps Moran will be plaything in
his hands when they mingle in the COM
ing engagement. Attell has been known
to do such things before, and it may
be that the British wonder is in for
the fate that overlook Baker, Weeks
Kelly and all the rest of the long string
who tried to please the public by whip
ping one of the most unpopular cham
pions the prize ring ever saw.
