The announcement that plans for the big match had been perfected were made yesterday by Manager Esmond OBrien of the Yale hockey team.

Rube Marquard Is
 After More Money
Crack Left Handler of Giants Thinks Salary Should
 be Raised
(New york Globe.1

Richard de Marquis, otherwise Rube Marquard, descendant of kings, admir- CT of queens, motoring enthusiast, and the stage, and is now employed as gentIeman-inw waiting to John J. Mo Graw, manager of the Giants. Rich the ante and keep it uplifted for three years McGraw is waiting to give Richard a piece of his mind.
 Bluntly speaking, Rube is a hold out. Tn the language of the profes- sion he Is after the dough" The foot lights of the stage so affected his vision that he cannot see the figures written on the contract recently ten has returned the same unsigned.
 Marquard received a substantial sal ary boost from the club this spring, but he considers that his services last bust stipend and a three-year con- tract. Hence the hitch.
 Rube has noted that the Philadel- phia club has annexed Grover Cleve- land A'exauder's scrawl to a three year contract. It is not known what salary Alexander will receive, but pre- sumably it is not less than $5,000 a year. In addition he has a bonus games next season he gets $500 more, and $1, ,000 if he wins thirty. The Phil adelphia club considers Alexander the best young pitcher in the league and
 
 years. Marquard, perhaps fees that the New York club should display a similar affection for him.
 Rube isn't making public his de- and he thinks that he will come to an agreement soon. Alexander first demanded s7,5OO a year and contract and Marquard thinks no less of himself than does Manager McGraw waxes sarcastic over Rube's case, because he carried the big pitcher along for two years before the big flash occurred.
 "Rube was willing to work for a modest sa 'ary when he was not de- livering the goods" said a friend of Marquard yesterday, but he realizes that pitchers do not last long as a rule, and he feels that he should get the money while he is good. He ap- preciates what McGraw has done for him, but as the club, and not McGraw pays his salary he considers that his is perfectly just. Of course he made good money last season, but his work gave the Giants a chance at that worlds. series gravy.'

GERMANY SCHAEFER WELL
 LIKED IN WASHINGTON

Washington, Jan. 31-Unless young Spencer, from the Rochester club of 1911 shines forth as unusually won derful, Herman Schaefer will probably be the regular first baseman of the Nationals next season. This will please the fans, too. who are strong for the veteran baId-headed man, star ball player and passable vaudeville performer. Just where Jack Flynn gets off as a big league player can not be seen with the naked eye. He'll probably fall by the wayside early in the struggle.
 Dutch Schaefer, pride of the fans, was the heaviest hitter on the team last season. He didn't make any home runs, and his triples and dou- bles were few and far between, but his singles came frequently and with great timeliness. He was the best pinch-hitter on the club.
 Young Spencer was a star Of the Eastern league in 1911, though not one of the heaviest hitters on the circuit. His fielding was smoothness personi- fled and he is looked upon as the like Hest to give Schaefer a fight for the position.
 Flynn spent most of his time on the bench for the Pittsburg team. He hit for PIP in the National league, and his sIowness of foot killed his chances with Fred Clarke as it will most like ly kill him with Clark Griffith.

Manager Callahan of the Chicago White Sox seems confident that he can engineer some sort of a deal with Cleveland by which Stovall will go to Chicago. Detroit is also after the first sacker, but at the present time Callahan appears to be closer to a trade. Cleveland proposed a swap of Stovall for Lord, but the Windy City
 manager couldn't see it at all. Calla- says in reference to his confer snce with President Somers.
 'I feel certain that StovaL will be ;n a White Sox uniform by the time We open our season. I cannot give the positive announcement, as MT. Som CTS and myself did not reach a def1n- ite understanding, but feel justified in saying that we progressed far en- ough to indicate to my mind that the Cleveland player will come to Chi cago. MT. Somers insisted on getting Harry Lord, but I am satisfied that he will change his mind when we de- eide to make a definite purchase or trade. have a good list of players and some money to offer MT. Somers for Stovall, and he will soon see the wisdom of accepting one of the sever propositions that I made him"

TANNEHILL SIGNS UP
 WITH CHICAGO AGAIN

Chicago, Jan. 31-Lee Tannehill has signed to play his 10th season for the White Sox, and Manager Jimmy Cal Iahan announces that Fanny will make the youngsters travel some to keep him out of a regular berth in the infield.
 "TannehiIl is good old war horse" says Callahan. "Any youngster who can keep him on the bench. will have to look pretty sweet to me I expect to see him loosen up down in Texas and come back as he has always done in the past-''
 The White Sox veteran joined the team in 1903, and while a bit cratic that first season, esta blished himself as a good third baseman- alter on he was played at short. second, and even first when other players were on the injured list. In every position Fanny made good, too. and has earn ed a reputation for being one of the srnoothest fielders in the business.
 At the bat Tannehfll breaks no rec ords He never was the hitter that his brother Jesse, formerly with the Nationals, was, Jesse Tannehin was one of the best hitting pitchers ever seen. Lee pulls away from the pan and acts as if he were dored at the platter However, when he does make a hit, the ball generally goes for ex- tra sacks.

Four more members Of the Giants yesterday sent their signed contracts to Secretary Joe O'Brien. Josh De- wore was the only regular of the quar- tet The others were Pitchers Jeff Tesreau and Bert Maxwell and In- fielder Milton Stock.
 Tesreau and Maxwell are the cream of the fIinging recruits, and both men stand an excellent chance of landing a locker in the clubhouse at the Polo been nursing Tesreau for some time, and believes that the Ozark bear hunt CT will develop into one of the best delivery clerks in the big leagues; training trip last season and demon- strated that what he needed more than anything else was experience. nTcGraw sent Jeff to the Toronto Eastern League team, which is man aged by Joe Kelley.
 Tesreau did not do anything spec ,tacuIar when he first went to Toronto but after he got started he became one of the sensations of the Eastern league. He won fourteen games ana lost nine last season. George Stall ings. the former manager of the High flanders, is a big booster for Tesreau and predicts that he will be fixture in the National League this year.
 Maxwell joined the team last Sep tember and made the last Western trip with the Giants. He had several chances to show his mettle and did fairly well on eacn OCcdSlOu I1S was bombarded Justify in St. Louis. but pitched good ball in Brooklyn.

 Coach Holy Cross
Philadelphia Athletics Great ShOrtStOp Also Sends Two
 Recruits to Alma Mater

Manager John F. Kirby. of the Holy Cross baseball team, is hard at work on his schedule for the coming season and expects to announce the games within a few days.

M'GOORTY GETS
 DECISION OVER C0FFEY
Oshkosh Wonder Too Clever For
 Californian in TensRound Bout.

Eddie McGoorty of Oshkosh, Wis, added Walter Coffey of California to his long string of ring victims by out pointing him by a wide margin in a 10 round bout at the Fairmont Ath- lettc club last night. McGoorty had the better of every session of the match except the seventh which Cof- fey earned by Sma1 margin. Mo Goorty was too fast and clever for his slow adversary and hit him so often without a return that the bout became monotonous because of it's one-sided nature.
 Coffey was as slow as a snail. He moved to the centre of the ring dur ing each round and then anchored. His brain seemed frozen for he re- peatedIy missed golden opportunities that had he taken advantage of them, would have carried him to a victory via the knockout route. On these oc- casions McGoorty was wide open and Coffey only needed a hard wallop to topple him over.
 McGoorty did the greater damage of the bout with his left. He planted il repeatedly in Coffey's face and stom- ach He cut Walters nose in the sec ond round with that kind of a punch and sta ggered him. Thrice during the last chapters McGoorty had Coffey reeIing under his punches but was un- able to finish him. From the fourth to the eighth round Eddie failed to use his right hand.
 Coffey's one round was the seventh He planted several good punches to McGoorty's stomach.
