PALZER RETURNS
 AND WANTS BOUT
Unable to Meet Johnson He May Tackle Gunboat Smith in
 New York

Tom O'Rourlke, manager of Al Pal ger, who went to Europe in January for the twofold purpose of testifyine in his libel suit against a London pub l1cation and to train Palzer for a pro- posed bout with Jack Johnson at Paris in Junes returned to New York yes terday on the tesmship George Wash tngton. Palzer also returned, and MT. ORourke will now 'endeavor to ar range some bouts for the big fellow at one of the leading New York clubs. He has given up all hope of a bout with Johnson.
 Palzer did considerable training while in Europe in the hope of getting one or two matches there, and he also worked out on shipboard during the return voyage, 80 he will be ready to take on any of the leading heavy weights at short notice. Manager O'Rourke has no bout arranged, but 1t is probable that he will sign for af bout with Gunboat Smith during the present week. One of the big clubs is angling for the match, but negotia- tfons are held up pending the arrival In California of Jim Buckley, manager of Smith, who is now on his transconti- mental journey to second Tommy Mur- phy in the latter's bout with Ad WoI- gast on Saturday. It is understood that O'Rourke is satisfied to make the match.
 sPalzer would like to get a return date with Luther McCarty, who stop ped him in eighteen rounds on the coast last November, but this bout, if arranged, will probably go to Cali fornia, as McCarty is favorable to a contest over the long route.

BRITTON AND BALDWIN
 BOX TONIGHT IN NEW YORK

One of the best boxing cards to be staged in several weeks will be served to the f1stic fans in the St. Nicholas Rink, New York, tonight. There will be three ten-round bouts, the head liner to be between Jack Britton of Chicago and Matty Baldwin of Boston. Both Britton and Baldwin have beat en Leach Cross. Baldwin and Freddie Welsh of England enjoy the distinc- ton of having referees decisions over Willie Rftchie, the lightweight cham pion. The victor tonight is likely to be matched with Freddie Welsh or Joe Rivers, the winner of that match to get a whack at Ritchfe.
 In the other two ten-round bouts Willie Beecher will swap wal1ops with One Round Hogan, who thinks he is now on the upgrade again, and George Knock Out Brown, the Chi cago Greek, will box Billy Grupp of St. Louis. Beecher is aching for chance to meet Cross, Rivers, Welsh or Britton. He should not have much trouble with Hogan.

SUPPLEMENTAL TO COACH TIGERS Famous Center and End Andrews Will InStuct Football
 Squad

Princeton, N. J., April 15-Arthur Bl1ethentha1 and W. Gresham An dreHs, members of Princetons foot ball eleven last fall, have been select ed as the active field coaches during the football campaign in Tigertown next fall. This will be the first time in many years that the Tiger eleven has been intrusted to men who have just been graduated from college, but the new policy has heavy string to 1t, because of the fact that a Graduate Advisory committee will superintend their work
 B1uethentha1 has been the Tiger cen ter for the last three years, and the graduate coaches say that he knows more about that position than any oth- CT man who has worn the Orange and Black. Andrews had his first year in Varsity football last fall, when he played an end.
 It is understood that Logan Gum ninghan, head field coach for the last two years, was asked to return, but declined because of business duties.

SUES EVERS FOR
 FIXTURES IN STORE

Chicago, April 15-John J. Evers. manager of the Chicago Cubs, was sued for $500 yesterday by a manu- facturer of store and office fixtures, who alleged that fixtures installed in a shoe store which E1vers and Charles Williams, secretary of the Cubs tried unsuccessfu1ly to run here, had never been paid for.
 Evers maintains in reply that he cannot be held responsible for the debts Of the venture, as 1t was man aged by a corporation.
 Municipal Judge Fake, who is a fol- lower of the Cubs, returned early from lunch, SO that Evers could appear in court without being late at the West Side grounds. The case was continued until April 2S, and the manager of the team hurried away in an automo- bile.

he has decided that the booze empori-
 um needs all his attention. Jefrs come back conversation was probably due to epidemic that was rag ang a short time ago, and which af- fl1cted Bob F1tzsfmmons, Peter Maher, Kid Mccoy, Joe Choyneki and a lot of other Methuselahs of the ring If Jeff had kept himself in good condi- ton, however, his thirty-eighth birth day need not have been quite hope less. Old Jem Mace fought, and fought well, until he was sixty, and Bob Fitzsimmons, at thirty-eight, could have put away the best of the present crop of h~les. Jeffries is now said to be riding on the water wagon, as the result of 8 wager he made about three months ago with Barney Olddeld. Fourteen hundred dollars will be added to Jeff's cash regis ter next January if, in the interval, he keeps off the hard stuff" and re- frains from indulgence in cigarettes Jeff. says that coin is just as good as in his pocket.
 Jim Jeffries was born in Carroll, O., April 15, 1875, the son of an itinerant preacher. He was a boiler maker, and a good rough and tumble scrapper, in his young manhood. His first battle was pulled off twenty years ago with Hank Griffin, a co1ored boxer, as his opponent. It was staged in Los Ange- les, and Jeff won in the fourteenth round by 8 knockout.

HAL CHASE OUT
 OF GAME WITH
 SPLINTERED BONE

Boston. April 15.-Hal Chase's right arm was in such bad shape, today, from an injury received in batting practice, yesterday, that it was de- cided to make an x-Ray examination to determine whether 3. bone had been spl4ntered. Trainer Barrett said that the Yankees second baseman will be out of the game for some time.
 Chase was batting one of the New York substitute pitchers just before the game began when 8 swift ball caught him above the elbow of the right arm. He went into the game but the pain from the injury became so great that he retired after three innings. At the time Manager Frank Chance said that Chase was not seri- ous1y hurt and would be back in the game, today. It was not until this morning that the seriousness of the bruise was realized.

along and box a little and if they get big fight, why two weeks work is supposed to be sufficient
 That is where they all make a. mis- take. A boxer should train as hard for what he considers a soft match as tough one, for he never knows what he is going against and if he happens to be out of shape and the other fel- low is tough and willing to take 8 chance he is liable to make things decidedly interesting for MT. Star.
 As to Mcfarland, there has been much talk about making weight for Ritchie. Now Willie is champion and a legitimate light weight, as he made the 133 ringside for WoIgast without bother. They tell me Mcfarland can't do better than 1855 at 3 o'clock and then he must work overtime. Well, my offer stands about forfeiting $5,000 if fail to put him in proper shape in eight weeks time and bring him to 135 ringside or 133 at 3 or even 6 o'clock weighing. Of course, I would not train him in a city, but would take him to my ranch near San Francisco and put him through regular course and have his stamina better than ever and his general makeup improved. He would have to follow my advice ex- plicitly as to the training methods, and while 1t would not be. terribly hard work it would not be child's play, such as many fighters look for in the gymnasium. This Is not in tended as a slight on the training methods of Packey's manager. MT. Thirty, but simply to show the faith 1 have in my own ideas on trafning.''

IN MAJOR LEAGUES

A timec1ock has been installed at Sportnan's park, St. Louis, in order to keep tabs on when the Browns re- port for morning practice. And they say that ball playing, like prize fight ing, is no business.
 Looks as if Manager Charlie Carr of athe Kansas City Blues has picked up a fancy finger in Pitcher Ragan. The youngster stood the Chicago Cubs on their heads recently, Mike Mitchell being the only one to nick him for 9 hit.
 Manager Bill FrieI of St. Paul is trying hard to land Infielder Rehg. who was with the Saints last year.
 Jack stansbury. whom Louisville sent to the Cardinals last season, has been turned back to the Colonels.
 Manager Clark Griffith is in favor of Sunday baseball for Washington. The Old Fox thinks that games in Washington on the first day of the week would be well received, and he would like to see the plan tried.
 Molly Mclean has been shifted again The Buffalo team has sent him to the Mount Vernon team Of the Coast league
 Manager Clark Griffith has refused to waive on Ben Egan, the Athletics cIoutfng backstop. With Catcher John Henry on the sick list, Grin believes, Big Ben would come in handy.
 Manager 'sRed'' Dooin of the Phil lies praises the Washington American league team. Dooin a predicts a suc- cessfu1 season for the Senators.
 
 Recruits nowadays are too quiet and retiring" says Joe Tinker. 'tNoise all the time-that's what. want, and that's what wins base ball games.''
 The Cincinnati club hasn't found a club in the south that Is willing to take any of the players it wants to turn loose.
 George Baumgardner, who proved to be a sensation with the Browns last season, is said to be so frivolous a young man that close observers of the St. Louis team fear for his fu- ture unless he takes the game more seriously.

KLING TO JOIN
 CINCINNATI TEAM Former Chicago Backstop De- cides to Get Back Into
 Game Again

Kansas City, April 15-John K1ing, the baseball hero, said today he would probably join the Cincinnati National league club some time next month. He said he intended to begin at once to practice three hours a day and that in two weeks he expected to be in good condition. He added that his business affairs now are in such shape that he can leave here until next fall
 KIing recently denied a report that he had signed a contract to play with the Cincinnati team and at that time said he would not play ball this year.
 The report that Johnny K1ing real 1y wants to play ball for the Reds was news to President Hermann and Manager Tinker, who dropped all me- gotiations with the veteran backstop a month ago, and do not intend to take them up again. At that time they made Kling a certain offer. which he declined.
 The offer still stands. but, no effort to get him to change his mind win be made If he comes through with a proposition to play here at the salary originally offered him he will be taken on and a trade for him will be made with the Boston club, but the over lures will have to come from Kling himself.
 ,l am perT6ctly SdI1Si1ed W1Ch ny catching staff as it stands, Tinker says. we made Kling a5 proposition, winch is still open, but we are through negotiating for his services : If he wants to come here we will give him a berth, that's all. have not heard a word from him for weeks and have no idea what his intentions are. Our catchers are going very well. and so I am letting the Kling matter rest and take care of itse1f.''
