Red Sox, Worlds Champions,
May Meet Pirates in Spring

There is talk of a, series in March
between the Red Sox and the Pitts
burg Pirates. However, as the cham
pions have thrown their chapeau
into the circle it seems from this dis
tance that Fred Clarke can scarcely
do otherwise than accept the def, as
he and his warriors have everything
10 gain by the games, and it means
tie earning of a buxom bankroll for
his employer. Hon. B. Dreyfuss.
Rumor has it tnat the series will be
booked when Dreyfuss and McAleer
get together in New York at the big
baseball meetings in December.
Bob McRoy, who started the story
going that the champions would well
come spring series of three, five or
seven battles with the bold. Bucca-
neers, announces that he did his part
when he set off the fuse. He adds
that both McAleer and Stahl want to
see the games booked. However.
Dreyfuss has yet to put hts o. K. on
the bouts, and until the Pittsburgh
magnate is heard from the fans have
got to wait to see what's going to be
what Arkansas Hot Springs, from
Whittingham Park TO Oaklawn, is

Hasn't Given Up Hope

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The Coney
Island Jockey Club has evidently not
given up all hope of racing, for it has
sent out the announcement of the ia

is the usual clause. however, pro-
viding th@ the club may cancel the
event and return the entrance money
without further liability. One of
the drawbacks of racing is the per
sonal liability clause in the racing
laws, and as that has been ruled
out by the courts. there is possi-
bility that the club may see its way
to meetings next year. although there
are hopes OF legislation on the sub
ject at the next session of the Leg

TO MEET AT 1ss POUNDS

NEW YORK, Dec. "A middle
weight boxing bout that is expected
to do much toward setting the
championship honors, which has
been in constant dispute since Stan
ley Ketchel's death, is to be staged In
Madison Square Garden tonight, with
Mike Gibbons and Eddie McGoorty
as the principals.
McGoorty's recent knockout VIC
tories over Dave Smith, the Austria.

the English champion, have put him
to the front as best entitled to the
honors, but he must prove this right
by victories over Gibbons, Frank

claims but their own.
With long walks and light boxing
McGoorty and Gibbons finished their
preliminary work for tonight's meet

meet at 1853 pounds ringside for so

Gibbons weighed 1853 pounds yester-

1t is believed that the public will
pay $25000 to see this battle. which
