BOXING In GERMANY
Young American Will Intro
duce the Manly Art.
BERLIN IS THE FIRST STOP
Sioux City Promoter Proposes TO
Make Kaiser's Subjects Take 10
the Game the Same as France Has
DOne-Opinion Prevails that Ger
mans VIII Not Adopt 1t.

Chicago, Jan. 3-Americans have tried
about everything else upon the Germans.
Now one bright young American chap
is going TO try the boxing game on Ber-
liners. He says he viii force them to
like it, 1t is needless TO say the young
man has unlimited nerve.
He Is Richard c. Klegin, of Sioux
city. Iowa. the youthful promoter who
grabbed Paris by the neck and forced
boxing down its throat in a most amaz-
ing manner. To-day Paris IS wild over
the boxing game despite the surfeit it
has had To-day they pay grand opera
prices for seats at the big mills. and are
so discriminating that anything short of
a regular slaughter pals upon the Pa
rislan taste. Kelgin says he viii see TO
it that the phlegmatic German outdoes
his brother from over the border
He is taking two American fighters
with him to Paris-~Denver Ed Martin,
the colored heavyweight, and Tony Ca
poni, the Chicago Italian middle-weight.
He says both OF them viii make good in
France and England.
When Dick had sprung his scheme
everybody in this section OF the country
laughed at the idea.
Klegin was born IN Sioux City. Iowa,
and is half German and half French,
hence his inclination to the two countries
IS but natural When one considers that
Dick is but twenty-five years old, one
gets a fair idea of the colossal nerve of
the young man.
Three years ago, when he was but nine
teen years old. Dick landed in Paris with
| 8. 500 and hired the HippOdrOme. a build
ing that cost its promoter 5,000,000 francs
and caused hts suicide later. when it was
found TO be a white elephant. Klegin
spent every penny he had in advertising
his initial fight. stood of everybody else
he could, and awaited developments. His
circus style OF doing business hit the
boulevardiers right between the eyes, and
his receipts for that opening show were
$1,000 From that time his success was
/ assured.
The Germans VIII never take to It. is
the opinion here. It's not in the blood.

fifth. Of the National League rules con-
mittee. says there IS oae rule relating to
umTiTes which ought to be charged.
Il do not like to be called a kicker.

TO have an umpire around in the way
when you've got a good play on and have
him step into it and knock the whole bust
Des5 out.
Very often have seen signals so wrong
because al umpire was in the way and
the players could not zee. want them 10
stand on the outfeld side Of the base line
and give their decisions there. the other
umpire remaining behind the catcher at all
times.

Many prominent baseball men VIII be
on hand during the meeting Of the COM
mission. which it is believed Will possibly
reopen the case OF Catcher John King
of the Chicago Cubs. 1t was said ON
good authority to-day that c. W, Murphy
is anxious TO have King restored TO
good standing as a player, inasmuch as
the Philadelphia National League CLUB
stands ready to pay sl5ooO for his re-
lease 1t requires unanimous vote
10 reinstate King, and 1t IS said that
Messrs. Hermann and Lynch are ready
TO support Murphys petition, but whether
Johnson's vote can be secured remains
to be seen.
Murphy Is for King.
If King wants to play ball" says
Murphy, ''he should not be prevented
from doing so. He is not a contract
jumper and has done nothing dishonor-
able. He did not play with the Cubs
last year because he had leave Of
absence, and had 10 devote his time to
a private business venture in Kansas.
Personally, do not know where King
wants to play ball next season, but I do
know that If he has a chance to play
with any other team outside Of Chicago,
and the Chicago club is willing. the com
mission should not stand in the way.
While Murphy. who was here on Satur-
day, would not admit that Kings re-
lease would be sold to Philadelphia, Presi-
dent Fogel, of the Quakers. says the deal

Heavy Load to Garry.
If king should be handed over to the
Philadelphia club for $4,000 and his
salary should be fixed at S10O00, Horace
Fogel and his friends may And that a
rental of the ball park OF S5000 a year
and a payment of perhaps $4,000 20 the
deposed manager. William J. Murray, will
be a heavy load to carry. Philadelphia
IS a 25-cent town. the gross receipts Of
either OF the Quaker clubs az home and
abroad being less than half the amount
of money taken in by some of the other
major league clubs.
In view Of these facts, conservative
baseball men are wondering how the new
Philadelphia club owners are going 10
make ends meet if they decide to run
things with such reckless abandon.
