CROSS AND ANDERSON
READY FOR THE FRAY
BY International News Service.

BY lnGerna tional News Service.
LOS ANGELES. Dec 3O-Today' y e
showers did not interfere with the final
workouts OF Leach Cross and Bud An
derson, and both boys finished up their
training this afternoon in good shape,
each claiming to be In perfect condition
aud easily under the weight stipulation.
One OF the angles being considered In
connection with the Now Years battle
is the possible effect that memory OF
MS previous defeat a the hands Of Cross
may hove on the Oregon boxer, Close
followers OF the game figure that high
strung younSster like Anderson never
forgets a decisive defeat OF this kind
"Just the minute Cross walks into the
ring and scowIs at Anderson he will have
Bud licked said an old timer.
Manager Dick Donald, in discussing this
phase of Thursdays bout. says emphatl-
caIly that his previous beating will not
trouble Anderson.
Anderson Is peculiar chap" said
Donald. ''He hasn't got a nerve in his
body when ii comes to the boxing game,
and this talk that he Will be blue from
worry Is all nonsense. Bud honestly be-
lieves his first defeat was due TO his ILL
ness and that he can beat Cross this
time. He will make an aggressive bout
from the very start, and unless I miss
my guess. he VIII have Leach n-canning
all over the ring.
There was a decided switch In the
betting today. the odds tightening up q
full point, When 10 to 8 on Cross was
offered some New York money began to
show up and wagering was lively for q
time.

Otto Knabe, Philadelphia Second Baseman,
Who Is to Manage Baltimore Federal Club

~ ITO KNABE, veteran second
A baseman of tho Philadelphia
" Nationals, has bee in his bon
net for a managerial berth in
baseball for the 1914 season. In the
early chapters of the "stovc league .
chatter it was reported that Charley
Doom, manager Of the Phillios, was
willing to include Knabe III trade
whereby the Phillies Would get Joe
Tinker so that Knabe could become
manager of the Reds.
This deal fell fat, however, when
Tinker's sale to Brooklyn was made
by President Hermann of Cincinnati,
1T looked as though Knabe would fare
no better in 1914 than to again try
for a place in the PhiIlies iufeld.
The report which has most recently
astounded baseball fans, however, is
that directors of the Federal league
had quietly arranged for Knabe to
manage the Baltimore team Of the
Federals, When the report was made
public Knabo stoutly denied it.

NEW YORK, Dec 30.-The National

Tommy Burns Shrewd.

Reverting to the probability that it
Is Tommy Burns who is responsible for
the degree of speculation that exists in
Pclky's case. Tommy was always
known as q shrewd sport apart from
his pugilistic gifts. He made as much
money by backing himself in matches
rs he did in pulling down purses, al
ways excepting, Of course, his last af.
fair with Jack Johnson Tommy re-
ceived $4,000 that time, and the
chances are he wagered but fraction
OF the rake-off on the result of the
bout.
Now we find Tommy aligned with
Arthur Pclky, who he characteriZes as
one Of the hardest hitting heavyweights
and most effective fighters generally
the ring has known.
That showed an abiding faith in Pei
ky's fighting qualifications, and the
faith possessed by shrewd Tommy
Burns is reflected to some extent in
the respect the fans entertain for
Burns S charge
And, of course, the right uppercuts
aired by Arthur at the Olympic club
