Murphy yesterday received a letter
from Third Baseman Steinfeldt. saying
that he was training for the coming
season at his home III Kentucky, across
from Cincinnati.
Steinfeldt says he has rugged up a
gymnasium on his farm and practices
daily on rowing machine. Road work
also has been mapped out by Steiny
and he claims his knee is In as good
shape as when he first Joined the Cubs.
Pitcher Pfeffer also wrote that he
was rehearsing with the Harvard
pitchers at Cambridge. The former
and at present Cub and one time star
of the lllini hopes to make good this
year in Chicago.

Houseman. They are seeking the Zbys-
zko-Mahmout bout and offer a cash
purse of $4,000 with a percentage
privilege. The Callahan Houseman
combine was formerly interested in
Marathon runs and the two have work
ed In common on several ventures.
The National Sporting club of Amer
lea has made public a statement re-
sardihg the proposed Zbyszko- Nah
mout bout. which follows, in part:
1nasmuch as there seems to be a de-
sire on the part of those who have pat
ronized wrestling shows in Chicago to
see Zbyszko and Mamout settle their
dispute as to supremacy on the mat in
public, the National Sporting club begs
to explain its position in the matter
This club holds signed agreements
from the managers of both Mahmout
and zbyszko to engage in a wrestling
bout to a finish at Dexter Park pa
vilion on Jan. %. All that was neces-
sary to settle this match was for these
managers to sign articles agreeing on
the date, and other details However.
when we tried to bring them together
to sign for the bout they took up all
the time engaging in personalities.
There was never any reason why
there should be private match. AS a
matter of fact, we are willing to go on
record as saying that there never will
be any private match. The National
Sporting club has offered these two
wrestlers 80 per cent of the gross re-
ceipts of a show If they will agree to
put up a fair and square match to a
finish and bind themselves to keen
their agreements. We do not expect
to make any big amount of money for
the club, but we have made this lib
eral offer because we would like to pull
off this match, which looks like the
most interesting of any that could be
made at present"

Uniformity among major league UNI
pires in Interpretation of rules is the
latest agitation of the Preside baseball
season. 1t is a fact that the baseball
public is muddled over the real mean
ing of several of the rules. Hank
O'Day, the veteran umpire of the Ma
tional league, believes that all off,
Gals of the indicator should have the
same understanding of the rules. and
the so does Ban Johnson. president of
the American league. There is a pos
sibility that the umpires of the two big
league may meet and discuss the prop
osition.
When the rules committee meets in
Chicago next month it is not only
probably that the wording of some of
the rules will be changed so that the
meaning will be clear even to the
youngest prairie player, but that some
start will be made towards having the
big league umpires use the same inter
probation of each ambiguous clause.
AS the matter stands at present diff
ferent umpires in the same league rend-
er contrary decisions on the same play.
This is especially notable in the way
a player should turn when passing
first base. Some of the umpires rule
that a player is safe If he turns either
way, providing he makes attempt
to- go toward second. Ban Johnson
says the runner Is out II turns toward
the left. 1t is the belief of most en-
thusiasts that the rule should 80 read
that a runner shall be out il he turns
to the left in every instance. 1t is pos
sible the rule Will be altered in some
way in order that no ambiguity may
exist.
Another rule which needs altering is
that which refers to a fair or a fou'
ball, andalso the one which treats OF
the time when a player Is In the game

Los Angeles. June 1e.-Frank
Chance, the great leader Of the Chi
cago Cubs. will stay in California un-
til the last week in February. Mr..
Chance telephoned in from his Glen
dora ranch today to correct the story
printed in the Chicago papers to the
effect that he was to return there
early next month.
Everything is lovely between Mr.
Murphy and myself, and I will stay in
California until the very last minute"

want to say that the mis- understanding
which apparently existed was due to
Manager Berry of the Los Angeles team
not being well posted on the manner
II which the big league officials do
business.
"Orendorff belongs to us. but I was
willing to let him stay in Los Angeles
providing satisfactory arrangements
were made between Mr.. Berry and my
self. This was not done, so 1 announc-
ed that I would take Orendorff back

MISFORTUNE FOL
LOWS JOT GOAR

Dublin, Ind, Jan. 19.-Jot Goar. erst-
while famous National league base bal1
pitcher. but more recently merchant in
the village of his nativity, on railway
maps and guides officially designated
New Lisbon, but locally known as
"Jfmtown," the home of Jot Goar, has
again met with misfortune. couple
of years ago Jot was accidentally shot
in the arm while hunting. This time
his place of business, a large general
store. has been completed ruined by a
disastrous fire. which practically de-
stroyed the business section of his viii
lage.
Jot Goar achieved his greatest fame
about fifteen years ago. while pitching
for Watkins Indianapolis team in the
Western league. He was so good that
he won couple of pennants for that
team, and newt year found him with
the Reds at Cincinnati. where he had
moderate success for two years, but
on account of his ar mgiving out he
was compelled to quiz
Goar was also on the staff of the
Pittsburg Pirates at one time. He is
the widest known baseball celebrity of
these parts. with the possible exception
of Park Swartzel. who won several
pennants for the Kansas City team
while in the old twelve club National
league.

expected that all voters within the
described limits will turn out. Some
great predictions as to the outcome are
being made, both esides claiming VIC

quiet, and apparently there seems to
be no great struggle on hand. Those
in favor of Incorporation are following
the wise course by only suggestion to
the voters the benefits derived, while,
on the other hand, those against are
just as wise not to cause any bad feel

RICHARD GETS BACKING.
Promoters Claims JEFF and
johnson Want to Meet
at Salt Lake.
SITUATION IS STILL mixed
Manager Of Champion Insists That
San Francisco Will Get
the Fight.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. 19.-The
pugilistic pot is still boiling. TEX"
Rickard stirred it UP a little more to-
day by declaring that he had messages
from both Jeffries and Johnson to the
effect that he (Rickard) had the say
where the bout should be held.
Johnson in his telegram explained
that as Richard was the man with the
money he certainly had the right to
name the place, and as for himself he
did not care whether the bout would
be held in Utah, California or the Pa
cific ocean, so long as Jeffries showed
up at the appointed hour in the best
of trim and ready for the go.
Jeffries was little more conserva-
tive in his expression, according to
Richard but from the tenor of the dis
patch it was gathered that the retired
champion was just as willing to fight
in Utah as in California This. how
ever, did not seem to ring true to the
fight fans, as Jeffries previously had
been quoted as saying that San Fran
cisco was the place for him from start
to finish.
1t seems that Johnson and his man
ager, George Little, are not in accord as
to the final arrangements. Little has
announced that the ngnL Will De nelu
at San Francisco and that he was will
ing to wager some money on that. He
has claimed that Ocean View has al
ready been selected as the spot for the
big mill and that everything was set
tied. Then again comes the report from
the coast city stating that the fight
will be held inside the city limits, all
of which does not tend to clarity the
situation.
New York, Jan. 1s.-James j. JEFF
fries announces that he is delighted to
learn of Roosevelts interest in his
coming fight with Johnson. A tele-
gram from Jeffries. given out here to-
day, is as follows.

HESTER MAY LOSE GO
Nelson Wolgast Bout May

Battling Nelson and Ad Wolgast
probably will decide their differences
at Los Angeles before Tom McCarey's
club instead Of at San Francisco. In a
telegram to the sporting editor of a
Chicago newspaper last night John
Robinson, manager of Nelson, said that
it looked as if Hester would be unable
to get permit to pull off the fight in
San Mateo county CAL as he had
planned Hester yesterday asked the
supervisors in California for a permit
and the matter was put over until to-
morrow. We may have to go to Los
Angeles, but are sticking to Hester
as long as there is hope" is the way
