fording great possibilities for architec-
tural accomplishment well as for the

M'GUIGAN'S CARD FOR
TOMORROW NIGHT Is GOOD.

Paddy McGuigan has arranged a set
OF bouts. for his boxing show tomorrow
night that should be fast and exciting
from start to finish. There will be star
bouts of ten rounds each, a semi-final
of six rounds and three four-round
preliminaries. frankie Williams. of
New York. will clash with Mike
Mailie, of oBston, in one of the ten
round bouts. Williams has met Buddy
Faulks, Darby Griffin and Young
Ahearn, who recently bested Battling
Hurley.
Mailie has fought most of his fights
In Boston and Philadelphia, where he
was considered one of the best boys
at his weight. The ten-round bout
between Marty Brown and Smith
should be a slashing affair. Smith is
clever and can hit with either hand.
Brown has fought and defeated Tommy
Stage, Johnny Moran, Kid Ghetto,
Jack Ladbury. The semi-final will
bring together Knockout Johnson and
Jack Richards for six rounds. Kid
Fischer and AL Jackson, Young Miller
VS.. Kid Scott and Young Hicks VS.. Kid

SOUGHT
SCHLAFEY To ACT

McGinnity Has Said "No' to
All Propositions for Larry to
Leave Newark-''Iron Man.
Declares Next Secretary Will
Be Local Man.

I seems certain now, as was pre-
dicted in yesterdays STAR, that
Larry Schlafy will remain in New
ark another year. Schlafly could ave
had a position as manager of the Mon
treal Club, having received an offer
from Sam ~Lichenheim, but Larry did
not want it. Joe McGinnity could not
see it either, as he wants Larry for
another year as his second sacker.
Henry Clay Smith arrived yesterday.
and while nothing definite has been de-
cided as to the secretaryship of the
Newark Club, the Iron Man" stopped
long enough yesterday to say that it
would be a Newark man who would
be his right-hand lieutenant next sea-
son.
There is just a possibility that Jimmy
Prick, the new third sacker, purchased
from Toronto by the Newark Club, will
kick about playing in the Eastern
League next season. Before offering
Prick to McGinnity, Joe Kelley gave
Jack Dunn an option on Jimmy, but
JACKIE says that he passed the offer
up because Prick wrote to him last
month saying hat he would like to
get out of the Eastern League, as his
home is in Oklahoma and he does not
like to bring his wife and keep her In
the East during the baseball season.
1t is more than probable that Frick
will come to terms when the right time
comes around.
