KNOCKS
! OUT KAUFMAN
NETWORK HEAVYWEIGHT TRIMS
CALIFORNIAN IN FIVE
ROUNDS.

" New York, Dec. 29.---Al Palzer, the
local heavyweight, knocked out Al
Kaufman, of California, in the fifth
round of a scheduled ten round bout
at the National Sporting club last
night, with right uppercut to the
chin.
+ The fight started in whirlwind style
Immediately after the first bell, Palzer
landed a terrific right to Kaufman's
stomach, knocking him down, but the
Californian was up instantly, and
landed a right to Palzer's jaw, which
sent the latter to the floor. Palzer
jumped to his feet and hoored Kauf-
man in1turn with right to the jaw.
In the second both slowed up slight.
ly, with Kaufman the aggressor
throughout the round. The third was
the westerner's by slight margin.
The fourth round was all Kauf-
mans. He handed the local fighter q
lacing throughout the session, and at
the bell Palzer was hanging on to
escape punishment. II
Palzer came up fresh for the fifth
round with Kaufman slowing up q bit.
The men pummelled each other about
the ring with kaufman apparently
having the better Of the exchanges
until near the end of the round Sud
denly Palzer saw an opening in Kauf-
mans guard, and, stepping in close to
his opponent, sent over the fateful
right to the chin and Kaufman went
down for the count.
Palzer has been prominent figure
recently in boxing tournaments for
white hopes" and on the reputation
thus gained has engaged in several
professional battles, showing steady
improvement, and, in the opinion OF
many, giving promise of developing
into a good heavyweight.

MONMOUTH MEN
WIN ROUGH GAME

Columbus Junction, Dec. 2s.-In a
pill shooting contest, featured by
great roughness and the participation
of the audience in the game when the
tide of battle was not flowing the
home team way, the Monmouth col
lege scholastics defeated the Colum-
bus Junction quintet by the close
score of % to 26 here last night. The
Columbus men were aware OF the
fact that they were Eat home and
proceeded to demonstrate their abil-
ity to rough it when backed by the
home bunch. The Monmouth basket
shooters however, demonstrated their
superiority at all times, although the
score resulted in but two points diff
ference. The game last night con-
cluded a series of five games played
by the college men this week, all OF
which they won. ...J ..

HUGH SHANNON
|SAP0SS|B|lITY
FORMER BOSS OF oTTUMWA CLUB
IN LINE FOR MANAGERsHIP
OF HANNIBAL TEAM

Hannibal, MO, Dec. ga manager
for next season probably will be Sc
lected at meeting of the baseball
directors slated to be held at the Mark
Twain hotel tonight. This announce
ment has been made by Presl.
dent Robert N. Mason of the baseball
club. II believe at this time either Joe
Wall, Hugh Shannon or Charles y.
Jewell will be selected as manager al
though there might something turn
up that will hinder our selection OF
the 1912 leader" said Mason. r.
That the application of Jewell, OF
Lancaster, O., looks better to him than
any other received was the statement
made by Mason. Therefore Jewell
stands perhaps better chance to land
the managership and many Hannibal
ians believe in him. Jewell promises
td land Hannibal in first, second or
third place and agrees to forfeit his
salary if he fails. Naturally this
proposition is elating to Mason and
the other directors and there is prac'
tically no doubt but that the Ohio man
will be chosen as the man to lead the
club.
Few Old Players Remain.
Only a few of last years players
will be seen next season. 1t Is set
tied fact that Mason intends to dispose
of AL Nickel, the right fielder, and
Davy Milligan, the speedy second
sacker. Milligan is anxious to obtain
his release in order that he might
manage team next year. The fans dc
not want Nickel, and that tells the
story. Nickel had a good average for
the season, but many of his hits came
when not needed. He could not hit
with men on bases, and the alleged
charge of his being a disorganizer has
turned many fans against him. He
probably will play with Galesburg next
season, although no trade or sale tc
that effect has been made.

JACK COOMBS AGAIN
SOUND AS A DOLLAR
PhiIadeIphia's Great Pitcher Entirely
Receivers From Injury Received
In Worlds Series.

New York, Dec. 29.-Jack Coombs
will be his old self when the Athletics
take the field for another campaign
this spring. The club physician has
pronounced Coombs completely re-
covered from the injury he received
in the last worlds series, and declares
the great pitcher will be as good as
ever physically.
Coombs gave his leg a peculiar
twist in the third game of the worlds
series with New York and injured his
intestines. He continued to pitch,
against the wishes of his teammates
and was forced to retire at the end OF
the ninth inning, when the score was
tied. Eddie Plank finished the game,
which New York won.
It was feared that the injury might
permanently handicap the great pitch
Ell, but he is again as sound as the
apples that grow on his Kennebunk
(Maine), farm, and will go south with
the team assured by the surgeons
that he is physically as good as ever.
