HUNTINGTON, n. Y, Jan. 12.-This
winter has seen many sorts of exciting
sport but hardly anything to equal the
fun now rampant in Huntington. The
daring voyages of the iceboats, the
flights of swift toboggans and the mar
velous jump OF the skiers are tame ex-
ercises beside the bobsleighing fun
that was held in this village recently.
The recent fall OF snow gave the de-
voices Of this fascinating and exhila-
rating sport ample opportunity to enjoy
themselves. Prominent residents of
this place have offered several prizes
for a national contest. and the carnival
will be held within the next few weeks.

markably fast time was made over the

WHO OWNS The
BTLLIES' PAPERS?
HeCkert DiSturbS Tri-State
Peace With Announcement
That Team is His
LOCAL INTERESTS
MUM ON DEVELOPMENT

In the absence of official statements
from those Wilmingtonians who are
interested I'm getting a Tri-State
League franchise for Wilmington this
season, the situation over the deal ap-
pears to be somewhst muddled today.
Information from York this morning
is that George Washington Heckert
has beat Wilmington "to it" in the
Williamsport franchise deal. Heckert
having announced that he has copped
the franchise and that the team will
play in either Allentown or Patterson
this year. Peter Cassidy would not dis
cuss Heckert's claims this morning;
hence Georges statement must 60 un-
til the local magnates show their
hands. 1t is known that Cassidy and
few of his friends have about closed
deal for the Front and Union street
park as a playing ground OF course
they would not have gone this far had
they not intended to put a team there.
However, Heckert seems to have
caused another ripple on the troubled
sea. It may be that he hopes to make
Wilmington buy the Williamspors
franchise from him and if this proves
true there is going to be a flare back
in local baseball circles that will jar
a big bunch of people.
Williamsport is grieving now that
the team seems to have slipped from
their grasp. The latest from Billtown
is this:
Virtually the last hope of local fans
of retaining the Tri-State team here
next season was lost today when word
was received from Wilmington that
the promoters there who hold an OPP
tion on the franchise were about ready
to close the deal.
"They wired Secretary Gray to learn
the number Of players on the Will
Transport reserve list. 1t is said that
| Pete Cassidy, former Tri-State play
er, and Manager Heckert, of the Tren-
/ to- Club, are at the head of the move
ment to purchase the Williamsport
| franchise.

Unless Abe Attell beats Patsy Kline

night. New York sports will begin
asking whether the featherweight

up a poor fight against Joe Coster in
Brooklyn Monday night. but every one
who saw the fight realized that At

However, two poor fights I'm success
sion by the champion will inevitably
arouse the pessimsts. Kline isn't

in any form at all, ought to win
easily.

Lightweight Champion Wolgast, or
$4,000 on himself should Wolgast
give him return match, Former
Champion Battling Nelson today is
now passing all sorts OF doubtful COM
pliments toward the man who wrested
the title from him. Nelson thinks
y0ung Brown can take Wolgast's
measure and says he will contribute
$4,000 of "a $4,000 side bet for Brown
to put up ON himself.
Nelson calls Wolgast a dainty
pOwder-puif' champion. Nothing
would please the durable Dane better
Ito hear him tell it--than to meet
Wolgast in the ring again.
ANY time Wolgast agrees TO meet
me. "Ill put up a $4,000 side bet.
Wolgast can make his own terms. just
so he will give me another chance" "
Oncials of the Northern Club, OF

another bout between Frank Klaus
and Billy Berger. who last night put
up the best scrap that has been seen
In Pittsburg i'm a decade. Throughout
the six rounds il was a slam-bang
affair Klaus forcing the fighting, but
taking by far the most punishment.
Berger's clouts did not seem to Tease
him. however, and I'm the last round,
Klaus tore out of his corner like a
bull and before the period was over

at the fag end of the bout caught
Berger by surprise and It is doubtful
whether he could have lasted two

But this drawback TO the new local
