CouIon Cancels Bout-WiIIie Richie
and Tommy Murphy Rematched.

Johnny Coulon has called OH MS
bout scheduled for Jan. with Young
Sinnet in Racine because a return
fight between Matty McCue and
Tommy Bresnahan will be staged
Jan. 1 by. the Racine promoters.
The Logan Square bantam naive
Iy admits that he is in the fight game
for the money, and does not believe
his go would draw well so soon after
the McCue-Bresnahan fight. The
date for Coulon's re-entry into the
ring may be shifted to the latter part
of next month.
Packey Mcfarland, the worlds
greatest heavy lightweight. is out with
a denial that he is to invade the well
terweight class and take on some of
the leading 145-pounders. The stock
yards man proudly says he is still
lightweight and will make 135pounds
three hours before ringtime for a
fight with Willie Richie. To sub
stantiate his claim that he is light
weight, Mcfarland points to the fact
that he cade 1872 pounds two years
ago, which is some argument.
He also points out thae he only
weighed 141 for Jack Britton, and
claims that he was down to 1877 when
he fought Harlem Tommy Murphy in
New York. Gotham sporting writer's
who saw this last-named battle were
of the opinion that Packey was a
fine-IoOkinp weller. and when his
weight was announced from the ring
the audience openly laughed.
1t is about time Mcfarland gave

he is a lightweight.

Joe Tinker to the Dodgers-other
Big Deals Pulled.

II President Chas. H. Ebbets of
the Brooklyn Dodgers is sincere in
the big offer he made yesterday for
Joe Tinker, former Cub and Red
shOrtstop, Tinker will be a Dodger4
next season. .....
Joe has repeatedly said that he
would not play in an Eastern CITY,,
He was honest in his opposition to
going east, but Ebbets' offer is so
tempting that he is not liable to re-
fuse.
Ebbets offered Hermann $25, 600
for Tinker, with the proviso that
$4,000 of the purchase price is to
go to the player. A salary of $500
will be paid Tinker to shortstop for
the Dodgers, a bulky wage for a pri-
vate. That is one of the best propo-
sitions ever made to a ballplayer,
and it is hard to see how Tinker, who
is good business man, can pass
it up.
The matter rests entirely with Eb-
bets. If he is willing to carry out
the terms of his agreement with
Hermann there is no chance for Chi
cago to regain Tinker. Even though
Murphy may be willing to everbid
Ebbets, which is doubtful, the arti-
cles have been signed.
Yesterday was trade day. at the
National meeting, and though the
Tinker affair dWarfed the other deals.
some swaps were pulled off that VIII

success of some clubs next season..

BRICK HOUSE TO Be
sent BY us. MAIL
D. r. MoREY SENT PART OF
STRUCTURE By PARCEL
POST TODAY.

D. F. Morey of the Morey Clay Pro
ducts Co., of this city sent by parcel
post this morning a. brick Of local
manufacture to be used in building a
brick house at the coliseum in Chicago
during the clay products exposition
which is to be held February 26 to
March s. This brick will be one OF
$4,000 sent by parcel post from every
brick plant in the United States to be
useo in the construction of this house
which will be given away and re
erected after the exposition.
The idea was originated to test the
merits of the parcel post system and
it is certainly novel one. A record
will be kept of each brick from the
time the brick is mailed until it is de.
livered in Chicago in order to see how
speedily Uncle Sam can deliver brick
house by mail.
1t is probable that Uncle Sans mail
carriers in Chicago will not be over
enthusiastic for this method Of deliv.
cry of a brick house. Other mail car.
riers throughout the country will
watch the experiment. with interest
and fear and trembling. While the
brick fireproof home is becoming more
and more popular because of its
permanently, economy and superior.
ity, it is not probable that they will
be delivered by mail to any alarming
extent
At any rate the Morey concern will
have brick in the first brick house
ever sent by mail.

PLANS FOR CHANGE .
OF PARTY's RULES
REPUBLICAN LEADERS DISCUSS
CHANGING DELEGATE RULE
IN CONVENTION.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 21,-The
prospect for republican national con.
vention next fall, to revise the rules
governing the selection of national
delegates and to change the basis OF
southern representation at regular re.
publican conventions, was strength
ened through expressions favoring
the proposed national gathering by
Senator Root of New York and Sen
ator Crane of Massachusetts.
Demand for republican convention
has been based on the desire to make
such changes that states will have the
opportunity to select their delegates
through primaries or otherwise, and
to cut down the number of delegates
from states having light republican
vote.
81 am in favor of holding repub-
|lican convention at some convenient
time next fall or winter" said Senator
cago convention last June, "for the
purpose of doing two things:
To Change Basis.
81. To make representation in ma
tional conventions proportional to the
republican vote-that is, correcting
the dlsproportion in what is spoken or
as the southern representation.
SO. To permit the republicans of
each state to elect delegates to ma
tional conventions in their own way,
so that the choice in each state will be
regulated according to the laws of the
state.
.T, hot oh r1,,l
be effective in a convention to nomi-
nate a president, they must be made
before that convention. and that can
be done only by a special convention.
The national committee is still bound
by the old rules which were adopted
by the convention Of 1880. They will
have to call the next convention just
as they did the last one, under these
rules, unless special convention is
called to make the changes which GER
tainly ought to be made"
'@ Crane Endorses Plan.
Senator Crane also Endorsed the con-
vention plan.
81 am in favor of holding a repub-
lican national convention for the pur-
pose of changing the basis of repre-
sentation in proportion to the republi-
can vote, and also to amend the rules
for the election of delegates in such
manner as may be deemed WISE" Sen
ator Crane said. History has shown
that change in the basis of repre-
sentation is not likely to be made at a
nominating convention, and this en-
phasizes the necessity of special
convention.
No definite steps have yet been
taken toward issuing a call for the con-
