You've heard Of inside baseball such as Connie Mack displays when he wiggleS his ear to order man to make a home run. Well, they show ed us a little inside box fighting at Eagles hall, last night, and Terry Lee disguised himself as Connie Mack He had a little clicker in his hand which he used when Freddy Bosse of this city was mingling with Young Ketch- ell of White Plains. When Terry made noise on the clicker it was signal for Bosse to give him the old, The crowd got after Terry and his signal bureau and some rought per- son shouted, Write him a letter"

His body was a mass of red welts To Hyland's credit, however, it must be said that he never gave ground and was boring ir until the finish.

 Altogether Ketchers showing was good. The only fault that could be found was his unwillingness to follow up his opponent. He still has the habit of landing a blow or two and then stepping away. Several times he might have inflicted more damage if he had pursued his advantage after planting telling punch
 The other ten round bout between Freddy Bosse and Young Ketchell was rather disappointing. There wasn't as much action as the fans expected, but that might have been due to the fact that BosSe didn't take enough punishment. He generally fights bet ter after somebody has unloaded a few haymaker on his map. A draw would be a fair verdict in last nights bout.

LOST FIVE STARS BUT
 WON AMERICAN. LEAGUE FLAG

Philadelphia, March 20-Where would most of our modern ball teams finish if they were to be deprived of five of their best men the coming cam paign?
 About eighth, eh, fans?
 But then baseball history tells us one team that was robbed of five star players and tfe1. went through and won the pennant.
 It was back in 1902 in the halcyon wartime days that the Philadelphia Athletics lost five great players In Lajoie, Flick Bernhard, Fraser and Duggleby.
 Manager Davis of Cleveland, erst- while member of Comics band, says he will never forget the great struggle the beriddled Athletics made in 1902 It was a case of hustle all the time and it was this ne'er-say-die spirit that won them the flag.
 ''I guess we surprised the baseball world more in 1902 than we did ir 1910 or 1911, when we won the biggest honors in baseball" said Davis, "ant I think our great triumph had as mu c to do with building up the American league as any one thing"

JACK GOODMAN BEATS
 BURNS IN TEN ROUNDS

Jack Goodman gave Kid Burns an artistic trimming during ten rounds of fast milling at the Fairmont A. O.. New York last night At the finish Burns face was not a pretty sight. 4 big bump under his left eye nearly closed it, his right ear was puffed up like a toy balloon and his nose was all but of shape.
 Burns entered the ring in a bat tered condition. A lump graced his left eye, the remnants of the whipping that Packy Mcfarland gave him las; week in their fight at Kenosilia. Goodman made this sore spot the ob- ject of his attacks, and before the fight ended had it nearly closed.

+ Billy Lush, who has many friends in this city, has started South with the Montreal team, of which he is manager. He will take his squad to Charlottesville, Va, where the Wash ington team is training. He will have about 30 players to select from and hopes to make a good showing in the International League. Ernie Lush or this city will be given a tryout for utility outfielder Manager Lush ex- poets great things from Catcher An gemeier, whom he secured from the Chicago Cubs, and he also has Pitch CT Pressey from Pittsburgh There are dozen battery candidates, in- cluding Catchers Roth, Curtis, Ange- meier, Hardy and Bridges, and Pitch CTS Parsons, Pressey, Burke, Carroll, Barberich, Dummy Taylor and Le- Clair. Bridges is the former North ampton and New Haven catcher. His arm has gone bad and Montreal ex- poets to turn him over to some minor league.
 Young Ketchell, accompanied by his manager, paid visit to our sanctum this morning. He wore scar on his nose as a result of last nights 8 encounter with Freddy Bosse, but otherwise showed no i'll effects. Ketchell is willing to meet any boy III lQeS0 parts at lAf-1LO pOuHQS,.

Offer Of $50,000 To Johnny Kilbane
Coast Promoter Wants Exclusive Rights to Champions
 Services For Two Years

Los Angeles. Cal, March 2O-One of the biggest gambles -ever made on a professional boxer was recorded last night, when Promoter Tom McCarey telegraphed Johnny Kilbane, now in Cleveland, offering the worlds feath- erweight champion $50,0OO for a two years contract, calling for the exclu- sive rights to the services of Kilbane and his manager, Jimmy Dunn, dur ing this time.
 'If the proposition is accepted, will require that Kilbane box, not only Abe Attell, but as many high

class fea atherweights as I may de- velop," explained the local Queensbury magnate. In addition, I would ask Johnny to fill stage engagements and take the principal part, in several moving picture acts that I have on hand. He would have to keep moving pretty lively for two years. but then $5O000 is a lot of money"
 The big reception accorded Kilbane in Cleveland last Sunday probably started McCarey thinking. He evi> dently figures that Kilbane is to be one of the most popular boys who ever held title and that by keeping him constantly before the public for two years, he could double the amount he offers for the champions services. At all events McCarey must have good ''hole card" He wouldn't make this kind of bet on four hearts and a spade.
