BOXING

New York, Jan 24-It is altogether probable that Tom ORourke, present manager of Al PaIzer, will accept the offer of $1O.0oO made him by Jack Gleason, for Palzer's contract As long as Palzer is under ORourke's management 1t will be almost impos- sibIe fo- him to get a match with any of the prominent heavyweights owing to Jack Johnson's opposition to O'Rourke.
 New York, Jan. 24-Ffreman Jim Flynn, who is to fight Jack Johnson in July, has refused an offer of $6. 900 to meet Al PaIzer in 10 round fight in New York on Feb. Is. New York sporting writers today charge the Pueblo fireman with cowardice, de- cIaring the proposed ma toh with John son will never materialize.

MURPHY DECLARES CUBS
 WILL BE IN FLAG RAGE

Charles WordIess Murphy has at last consented to talk for publication. The P silent president of the Cubs feels that
 he must break his long silence and
 rush to the defence of his club. He believes that the time for reticence has past. He has, therefore, deter mined, unaccustomed to 1t as he is. to
 speak and keep on speaking. Some
 unfeelfng fans have fntimated that
 the great Cub pitching staff was now shattered wreck. They have even intinated that the Cubs might not win the pennant. What wonder that the ire of even Cherubic Charles is reused :?
 What has caused this wave of pes simism ?'' says Murphy. What reason Is there for worry over our stan? Aren't our prospects at present just as good as last year? Haven't we upon to come back swinging in their old stride, and haven't we gathered enough promising recruits to assure the building up of well balanced g afr and one that will be capable of coping with the best the other clubs will be ab be to pit against it?
 q might mention Charley Smith and Larry Cheney. These two men cost the Cubs in the aeighborhood of $11,- GOO, and their equals in the National League to-day are few and far be tween. Chance, as well as myself, feels sure that they will prove the and this is not guesswork, for both showed their strength in the closing games of last year. Where is the problem in picking formidable staff from these two and the others, includ- A Brown, Reu bach, Cole, Richie4 l. cIntire, Richter and the recruits,
 Murphy is right. All he needs is the assurance that Brown will return; that Cole and McIntire will cease to be uncertain quantities; that Richie can beat others besides the Giants; that his recruits will make good and that he can obtain at least one reliable southpaw. The prospects are bright.

 Dartmouth and Harvard probably vii play the Saturday before the Yale game, which falls this season on Nov. 16.

The Uni Versity of Minnesota may get a game with the Crimson. Harvard closes her season as usual with the Yale game, which will be decided this year at New Haven on Nov. 23

M'CANN GETS OUTFIELDER
 ROTH FROM NEW YORK CLUB
Local Manager Also After First Class Catcher
 For Bridgeport Team

Manager Connery of Hartford heard ot the youngster and endeavored to sign him. In fact he mailed Roth a contract but the player refused to sign it.
 T am after a first class catcher now" said Manager McCann this morning. ''I want somebody to do the bulk of the work and will probably keep Brewer. the Washington boy, as second string man if he comes up to expectations. The New York Ameri- cans have only a couple of catchers so I can't get anybody there but several International league clubs have of fered me a man. I think it will be better to wait and see how some of these backstops show up on the train ing trips before signing anybody" McCann said there is nothing new regarding the local franchise. He had 8 conference with John H. Freeman yesterday but nothing was done.

BIG LEAGUE GOSSIP

It appears as if Louis Drucke would either have to show some real pitching ability this season or else sit on some other bench than the one at the Polo Grounds. There never was a pitcher who showed more promise ur less re- suits. Drucke, however, says that his
 arm is again in condition, and he may
 blossom out this year as Marquard
 did last,
 There is the greatest curiosity among f1ciency of Henry O'Day as a manager.
 There are at least two advantages
 which the Cincinnati pilot will have
 over other leaders From his long ex-
 perience behind the plate o Day prob
 ably knows the weakness and strength
 of every batter in the league. He

 Practically every major league club boasted of one or more briI iant young performers last year who did much to make the season a successful one. Little was expected of most of these stars at the opening of the season. They came through far in advance of the expectations What the fans are wondering now is how will Mar Alexander, O'Brfen.
