Aleer fired him from that team in
1903, was the best throwing backstop
in the National league last season. He
thwarted $50 attempts to steal and
was one of three men who averaged
one or more men thrown out per game.
like Killifer were Mike Simon, of Pitts
burg, and Jimmy Archer, of Chicago,
the last named, like killifer, being an
American league discard. Hugh Jen-

Simon was passed up.
Whaling Has Good Record.

appears all through the big battles as
he has participated in some wonderful
affairs
COnley has boxed in three separate
classes, meeting champions in each
division and was himself recognized as
worlds champion for two years. It
was IN 20 round bout with Coulon
that he lost his title. In addition to
boxing COulOn in the bantam class Com
ley has boxed Johnny KiIbane and Abe
Atteu, while they wore the title of
feathers. In the lightweight division
Conley. met Ad Wolgast while he was
champion.
Then Conley has engaged in bouts
with Joe Rivers. Joe Mandot. Owen
Moran, classy EngIishman and such
boys And the fact that he won over
Moran, Rivers, Knbane and others
makes him look good, although the
battle he won from the CIevelander
was before Kilbane became champion.
Conley has boxed more than 1000
rounds professionally, during his ca
reer- That excludes any training
stunts or things of that kind. And
yet he is not quite IS years old.

never sidestepped the giant, ana IN

To get back to Willard. As badly as
he fought he proved that he can beat
Norris. And there are few whit
heavies who can say as much. If man

little more fighting spirit into his DIG

nation of the sports at large. Only
here in the east where Arthur was
seen at his worst is there any evidence
of popular unbelief in his prOwess.
On all form Smith should win easily.
But then Tommy Burns has seen the
"GunbOat" in action and if Pelkey "a
an apt pupil the foxy Thomas will have
him "hepped" to the "Gunner's" meth
DDS. Burns, I believe, saw Smith box
Willard out on the coast and the fact
that he sought the match for his man
would indicate that he has confidence
in Pelkey's ability to defeat the hadr-
hitting sailor.
It viii not surprise me If under
Burns's handling PeIkey has devel-
oped into a fair sort of fighter. He
was an awful joke when boxing in the
east but IT must be remembered ne
was only a novice. Friends of mine
who have seen him in training and in
exhibitions say he has improved i'm
mensely in his boxing since Burns took
him IN charge.
If Smith fights the same style Of
battle he showed with Morris Pelkey
may win if he's as good as they say.
He can hit hard enough to win with
punch and when two such hard hitters
come together something is bound to
happen and not always the expected.

English Teams May Ask
Uniform Height OF Poneys
British Polo Authorities Consider American Polo Ponies
Too Large For Opposition, and Will Ask That Stand
and Measurement Be Placed at 14.2; Ponies
Used By Larry Waterbury Caused Contest

EW YORK, Dec. 13.-English
polOists who are behind the in
L ternational challenge later on
are sure to ask for a uniform measure
ment of 14.2 in connection with the
next match-is the news from England.
The challenge contained no condition
covering the enforcement of the Hurl-
inSham rule, but the question is bound
to come in for attention at the right
time.
When the English players caught
sight of some of the American bred
ponies in the match last spring, they
were surprised at their size, and one
was heard to remark quietly, that
they were expected to play against
team of steeplechasers." The English
men made no kick, but ere they sailed
it was understood that If there was to
be a match again there would have
to be an understanding about the size
of the ponies.
Standard Height Wanted.
A short time ago there was a sort of
informal conference between members
of the Nottingham committee, the
County association and the polo pony
breeders, and it was agreed that some
thing definite should be done about a
standard height for the pony of the
future Some were of the opinion that
the English should follow the lead OF
the American Polo association and to-
tally disregard the measurement rule
and play ponies of any height.
The size of the ponies in the inter-
national matches was mentioned, and

EW YORK, Dec. 81 am not
~ inclined to agree with those
\ critics who consigned 10th Jess
Willard and Carl Morris to the scrap
head after their miserable exhibition
of last week At least I do not agree
with them in regard to Willard
Morris's case / viii admit, looks rather
discOuraging, but 1 believe there Is
hope for Willard
Willard is more or less Of a puzzle.
He has great deal more knowledge Of
the game than Norris, yet he can
seem to Wark up enough interest IN
his job to fight as if he was in earnest
only at times would he snow flashes
of the ability he possesses.
That he defeated Morris no one VINO
saw the contest can doubt That he
could have put Carl out had he fol-
lowed up his numerous advantages ap-
pears beyond dispute Whenever
Jess did cut loose he showed he knows
how to deliver a pUnch-sOmething
Morris does not and probably never
will-alsO that he can hit quite as
hard as any other white heavyweight
in the game, not excepting the WalIOp-
ing "Gunboat." For he shook big Carl
several times and had he seen fit to
90 on about his business there is little
doubt he would have won with a clean
knockout Carl was in bad shape sew
erai times during the bout
Morris looked good in his battle with
NNTunDOaL smith alLnOugn ne lost LnaL
bout on foul. He looked very bad
against Willard He entered the ring
in a worried state and that was not inn
proved when he found that his maui
ing methods We're Of little avail
Against the "GUnbOat7 Morris realized
that his great bulk and strength were
Of inestima bic advantage to him and
that If ne could avoid the 'Gunners
pile driving right for a few rounds his
chances for gradually wearing down
a 4
him a splendid chance to win. With
fifty pound pull in the weight a fight
er is imbued with much more conf
dence than when opposed to a man OF
practically his own weight and build.
I believe I could take "GunbOat"
Smith in hand and make him a sure
winner over Norris. But Smith would
have TO adopt an entirely new system
Of fighting. As gated at present his
only chance Of beating Morris would
lie in his luck in getting deadly
punch across before the big fellow had
tired him out But 1 would not be so
