CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-Jack Curley and

this afternoon to complete the pre-

and to name a new stakeholder for
the ~forfeits which are to be posted
February Is. When the articles were
signed recently it was agreed that a
New Yorker be the stakeholder. but
y since Johnson has decided that he
prefers a local man, likely a local
broker will be selected. The change is
probably due to the recent order of
Boxing Commissioner O'Neil barring
the champion from bouts in New York.
On Friday Curley will go West to
meet the hackers of the bout. While
Salt Lake City interests is willing to
stage the fight and have given Curley
the assurance he asks for, Jack says
that Jarbridge, New, people are so
persistent for staging the match that
he will give them due consideration.
During Jacks absence from Chicago
he has received ten kilograms from
Jarbridge and each one seems more in
sistent than the previous one.
There is nothing to discourage me

F. W. Francke, of Newark Athletics, Is
Prime Mover in Scheme to Place
First-class Semi-pro League in
Best municipalities in This
Vicinity Progress Is
Being Made.
There Are More Than Dozen Places With Good
Enough Patronage to Make
Circuit a Success.

A Trolley League, including Newark and several of
the bigger towns within hailing distance Of Newark, is
more than a mere possibility for the coming season.
Several local men who have promoted successfully semi
pro baseball, in this vicinity In the past are interested In
the projected rganization. The chief mover is r. WILL
lam Francke. president of the Newark Athletics, who has
already preached the subject to a prominent Elizabeth
club.
A Trolley League is just what It's name implies-a
league composed of towns within trolley reach of each
other. The size of the new organization will, of course,
depend on the man nr in which the out Of towners take
1t up.
There is wide la titude for such a circuit. Any of the
following towns would be eligible: Irvington, Bloomfield,
Caldwell, Montclair. Watsessing. Belevile, Harrison,
Kearny. Jersey City, Elizabeth and Railway.
There has been talk already of reviving a team to
play at Orange Valley. OF course the more compact the
circuit the keener the rivalry and the better the league.
There ought to be no trouble at all in picking eight
good teams from this collection and making it pay. Games
would be played on Saturdays and Sundays and holidays,
and it's dollars to doughnuts that II would be a paying
proposition.
tempted here. The possibilities are by no means limited
to the towns mentioned above. Some of the old Lacka-
wanna League towns could be rung in, as well as the
Oranges. Iryington, Millburn and Maplewood. The breadth
Of the league would be from Jersey City, where the
Duquesnes would be a good nine. to Railway, where base
ball draws well.

Baseball magnates with an eye for business are be-

a plan to organize a soccer league to be run on the same

would make II worth their while to promote the new
plan.
Charley Comiskey is one of those who were first to
see the feasibility of such a scheme. Uncle Sam has no
dig winter outdoor sport, and soccer comes nearer than
any other winter outdoor game to rivaling the summer
attraction-basebalL
The one big drawback is the intense cold from which
the fans suffer, but this could be remedied by installing
at nominal cost a steam heating plant in the grand

glass protection might be installed to protect the spec
tators from the winds.
There is little Likelihood of the plan being matured
until another year has elapsed, but meanwhile Comiskey
has been sounding his fellow magnates on the subject, and
he will do all that he uan to foster this gigantic project
which bids fair to be a success.

He is too game to retire under fire,
