TOM o'RoURKE SHY ABOUT
DEFINIC PALzER'S CHANCES

LOS ANGELES. Cal, Dec. "a
With but a few more days Of the
training camp torture, the heavy
weight trail grows red hot. From AL
Palzer's camp comes the tip that The
"old fox," Tom O'Rourke, has been
fooling about AIS real condition in
order to force McCarty into favorit-
ism. 1t is guaranteed that Palzer, fer
the first time in his life, is On edge,
"ready to lick a regiment" as Al ex-
presses it.
McCarty is making show of con-
fdence by rehearsing the stage stunt
he expects to pull after winning the
heavyweight belt. Luther is prac-
tising with his rifle, using grains of
grapenut for targets, and training Ills
long-horned goat to assist" in the
lariat- throwing act.

TO BOX AT THE GARDEN

Those who never tire of seeing A

Kline and HirSch Are
Fit for Hillside Park Bout

Patsy, however, seems to rule as
favorite. He has worked good and
hard and says he's entirely fit. Hirsch
Will undoubtedly carry him along at
a fast pace, but the Newark boy feels
confident that he will be able to shoot
over a haymaker before the final ses-
sion.
There is no question as to Patsy's
ability to land a wallop, as any of
the boys he has fought always had
respect. for the wicked punch he car
ried. Attell admits this and is coach
ing Hirsch on the way to avoid it.
Patsy il not the cleverest boy in
the world, and is not afraid to stop
punch. In fact he has stopped many
in his day, but in our opinion that
even in taking of punches there is a
limit. Whether the limit in Patsy's
case will be reached we cannot say.
The club has made many changes
since its opening show. From 5000
to 5000 spectators can be seated. A
new skylight has been installed in
order to allow the smoke an outlet.

will be held in Rome. This informa-
ton comes direct from Count Bru-
Meta. of Italy. who is the general sec

OF course, 1920 is a long way off,

ding the Egg HarDor boy, and though
Mueller was scarcely out of knicker-
booker breeches when he Joined the
Tigers he led the league as a pitcher.
1t may be that the kid would rather
play the infield than pitch because he
pnactises daily at shortstop during the
season. The long throw is not the
best thing for a pitchers arm and he
may have injured it.
Joe Kelley figures that Ed Holly
will hardly fill the bill as a first-class
shortstop next year, and will give
Mueller the first chance to make good.
The kid has shown ability as a sticker
but whether or not he could maintain
that same speed as regular remains
to be seen. Mueller in all PROBABILITY
will give up pitching next season and
act as utility infielder for the Leaves.
Kirkpatrick on Deck.
Enos Kirkpatrick sends the eompli-
ments of the season to his Newark
fan friends and declares that he
would prefer to help Newark win
pennant before spending another sea-
son in fast company. Kirk read the
Stallings's statement, to the effect
that Stallings would claim Kirk for
Boston if Brooklyn asked waivers on
Enos. Kirk likes Newark and believes
that another season in the Interna-
tional League would be very bene-
fetal to him.
Frank Chance desires to act only

Wild Bill Donovan claims he will
have one of the best pitching staffs
in the International League next
year. Wild Bill is crafty old fox
himself, they say, and it did not take
him long to diagnose the weak points
of Barrow league stars. For instance,
this is Bills observation on the falla-
cies of Wally Schang, the young
phenom owned by the Bisons: "Schang
is helpless against any pitcher who
works change of pace and mixes
fast one with slow one. I do not
think he would shine in fast COM
