APPENDICITIS BEAT
 HIM, SAYS WOLGAsT

Milwaukee, Dec. 24.-'fThat opera ton for appendicitis which caused the postponment of the bout with Fred die Welsh on the coast cost me- in fights and otherwise, at least $5O, O,OOO," said Ad Wolgast, former lightweight champion, yesterday. Mot only that but I really believe it was the turn ing point of my career and gave Will lie Ritchie the chance to take the title"
 ''After that operation I simply could not get started promptly in the bouts I had following it, for, while the side did not actually pain me where the operation was performed, I al ways felt some weakness there. But I believe that am as strong now as ever.''
 When asked in which battle he took the most punishment, Ad declared that One Round Hogan gave him about the worst beating in the first round of their contest in New York that he ever received. Why, I could barely raise my hands but that was a target for Hogan's blows, and just how I lasted out that first round I do not know. When I went to my corner after that session I sat down hard in the chair and shook up my whole system. In the following round I came out with determination and knocked the guy cold before it was half over.''

PELKEY AND SMITH
 MEET JANUARY
By T. s. Andrews.)

At last we are to have a real cham
 pionship battle between the white
 hopes, even though they are not class
 ed as high as some who have had in the past. On New Years afternoon. at
 San Francisco, Gunboat Smith, the
 giant killer, and Arthur Pelkey, the
 Canadian heavy weight, who IS ac- knowledged champion of all white
 hopes through his defeat of Luther
 McCarty which had such a sad ending, will meet in contest of 20
 rounds to settle the title question. -PeI-
 key has not met so many of the hopes Smith, but he stands on his reputation gained by his defeat of Mo
 Carty. He will have quite an advan- tage in weight over Smith, but not
 nearly so much as Carl Morris had when they met in New York last fall Pelkey never was considered world beater until Tommy Burns took hold or him. However, the ex-champfon is
 confident that he has a, man who will be able to hold his own against all corners and he feels sure he will stop Gunboat within 12 rounds. If he can turn the trick then he will prove him. self real fighter, for the Gunboat
 man can certainly fight some. There | is talk of matching the winner with Georges Carpenter, the French cham pion, who tumbIed Bonhadier Wells over for the count in two rounds 10 days ago, but I doubt whether the
 manager of the Frenchman will fall for match of that kind. Carpentier 1 is a great young fighter, but he weighs
 at best about ITO pounds and can not
 afford to give away 20 to 40 pounds to
 men like Smith and Pelkey. Such a
 match would be interesting, however,
 as it would really be for the world s
 heavy weight title among white men, Carpenter holding the championship l of Europe at the present time. And l while these interesting events are on l it is probable that Jack Johnson, the
 colored champion, will arrange a
 match with Frank Moran, the Pitts
 burgh heavy weight, for Jacks title.

FRENCH CHAMPION
 SPRINTER COMING

About the time American athletic enthusiasts had given up all hopes of ever. seeing Jean Bouin show in this country, came a letter from the won derfuI French distancer to Matthew P. Ha1pin, chairman of the athletic committee of the New York Athletic Club, in which he says that he can be relied upon to be with us next summer positively.
 Bouin would have come this winter only that he doesn't care to compete on the board floor and will wait until either next March or April before en- gazing passage.
 The Frenchman also says in his lengthy letter that he wishes to meas ure strides with Flames Kolehmainen in preference to any other runner or runners Kolehmainen beat Rouin by a. few yards in the great 5000 me- ter run at Stockholm last summer. He was hog fat on that occasion; there is no getting away from that fact.
 Bouin didn't train a lick for this race until the morning of the day it was scheduled to take place. He was seen on the track at early hour putting across some fast work outs. Three hours before the men were called to the starting line, Bouin was romping off a couple of miles on an improvised track outside the sta dium proper.

NOTRE DAME TO
 PLAY YALE TEAM
Crack HOosieP Football Eleven Offered Game on Eli
 Schedule.

Ya1e'S football schedule for 1914, which has been tentatively. decided upon, though not officially announced, will include some important changes from the schedule of the past season, the most notable being the addition Of Notre Dame to the list.
 1t is several years since the Ellis have figured in an intensectiona1 bat tie with a Western eleven, but the unusual expenses next season, due to the opening of the Yale Bowl, have led to an invitation to Notre Dame. and the Indiana university has about decided to accept. The game, accord ing to present plans. will be played at New Haven on Oct. IT.
 The showing of the Hoosiers in their game at West Point in the past season brought the Notre Dame e1ev- en considerable prestige in Eastern football circles, hence the choice of the Eais for what they hope to make another big game of the home tsched- ule.
 The Yale management is still nego- tiatinf for a team to take the place Of Wesleyan for the opening game of the season. The Middletown univer- sfty has declined to i'll the place it has held on the Yale schedule for many years, and there is a possibility that this rnid-week game in late Sep tember will be dropped from the Eli schedule

AMATEUR TRYING TO
 BE BILLIARD CHAMP

Charles Morin, the Chicago cue ex- pert who will endeavor to pry Alfred De Gro loose from his three-cushton billiard title at Doyle's academy, New York, early next month, will also set the precedent of an amateur taking a crack at the championship in his first professional match. This is to be Morin's debut in the ranks of the money players, but he figures that if he has to wear the taint of profession alism he might as well absorb same in good company Moreover he can prove by an aIibi that he was not 1ur- ed entirely by the $500 purse and the gold medal which is eInblematical of the championship
 Nborin has virtually been forced to become a professional or drop out of the game. He finds the situation in amateur billiards very much like that who sighed for more worlds to con quer: Mor1n, standing at the top of the amateur ranks, can't find any thing more to conquer there and so will forsake them for the prof ession- al game.
 This match is the realization of the hopes which billiardists have had for several years. Morin has been the greatest amateur player of his time and has been frequently urged. toN try for the professional title. He has the most powerful stroke of any of the men now playing the three-cush- ion game and has been likened to Frank Ives, whose stroke was his ace when he was a top1iner in billiards. Morin is also considered aby many ona of the best shot makers in the coun- try and rivalled in this respect only by Pierre Maupome, the Mexican.

In little red wagon drawn by a horse no larger than a goat, J. l.. Mack or whatever his real name may be, drove out of Bridgeport last night. For a week he had been posing about tired, undefeated lightweight cham pion pugilist of the world. Mack was arrested in Jim Jacques restaurant in Union street after he had displayed a roll of money and several hangers on had grabbed for the coin, precipftat- ing a free for all fight. When ar raigned at police headquarters Mack said he was McAuiffe, the former champion and he got away with the statement not only with the police but with a, number of sporting writers about town.
 Mack is nearly foot taller and weighs at least 100 pounds more than NcAu1iffe ever weighed. He has a mustache and a thatch of light hair while the real McAuliffe has been ly bald.

 The real McAu1iffe has played two vaudeville engagements at the Empire theatre in Bridgeport within four years.

SAYS WASH. AND JEFF.
 HAD GREATEST TEAM

Britt Paterson of Washington and Jefferson in a burst of confidence has settled the question of football su- premacy. He says:
 washington and Jefferson had the best football team in the country this year and it will have the best in 1914, and what is more Al Spiegel is abso- lutely the best halfback in the world. better than Jimmy Craig and better than Brickley, barring the Harvard man kicking ability"
 In his enthusiasm Paterson adds:
 we played some of the strongest teams in the East this fall, and we beat them all except Yale, which held us to tie on a very bad field. We V ould have licked the Ellis sure on a dry field and really scored touch down against them which was taken away from us on technica1ity.
 "I do not believe that we could have beaten Harvard in the stadium, but anywhere else we could have hung 1t on the Crimson. As for Michigan, there isn't the slightest doubt in my mind that we could have licked her handiIy. We were not afraid of the forward pass or any other kind of a play, for our line was strong that the secondary defence could spread without weakening us"

JOE TINKER MAY
 GO TO OUTLAWS
Has Offer of S8,OOO Yearly to Manage Chicago Federal
 League.

Chicago, H., Dec. 24-Joe Tinker now is more in doubt regarding his 1914 baseball job than at any time since he was deposed as manager of the Reds. The star shortstop yester- day had a long talk with President James A. Gilmore of the Federal League, the result of which was that the ex-Cub was offered a three-year contract to manage the Chicago Club at a salary, Joe said, sS,0OO a year more than he could hope to secure from Brooklyn The independents not only tempted Tinker with a prom ise Of much coin, but were ready to place the money. in bank, subject to Joe's check, and in every way were willing to prove the sincerity of their offer.
 The proposition so appealed to Joe that he now is wavering between a desire to remain in organized ball or accept the FederaPs offer, which will enable him to perform on a Chicago diamond and thus devote more time to his business. Joe vaguely hinted that $40.OOO with an opportunity to play in Chicago looked much better to him than $25, GOO carrying an obligation to play in Brooklyn, but would go into no more details regarding the sum offered by the outlaws.
 Until he hears from President Eb- lets, Tinker will be in 8 quandary. The FederaIs want him to align him self with their organization as soon as possible in order to start work on their 1914 team. while the shortstop dces not want to act until something definite is heard from Brooklyn. Joe said yesterday that from all he could learn a S5,OOO salary was the best to be expected from Brooklyn in addition to the $10,O0O bonus.

 Under a two-co1umn head on the sporting page a local paper said on Monday night: 'tMcAuliffe and his wife drove to this city from Chicago, arriving last night in their touring car.'' Mack's touring car is the horse and wagon described at the beginning of this story Mack is peddling pocket books about the country while the real Jack McAuliffe is appearing this week in a vaudeville sketch with May Yohe En a theatre at Yonkers, N.

Again ''Mc- AuIiffe'' is quoted saying that he loan ed $3,5OO to Tom Sharkey and that the latter only paid him back $300-50. Any one who knows Sharkey knows that there never has been time in his life when he needed to borrow money.

 The the first time in many years the Giants will not play exhibition game on the Polo Grounds.

 s Usually the club gets home about just be starting on a long siege in New Orleans around that date. An other unique feature of the training schedule is that the Giants will not meet a single American League team. The Giants have been in the habit of calling each spring at Washington for a pair Of games
 McGraw's men also will keep away from Houston until the Yankees leave that hustling Texan burg. Houston is only a three hours trolley ride from Marlin, and the Giants usually hopped over there every Sunday, alternating the first and second teams between Houston and Dallas. However. the Giants will show at Houston for four days late in March. There is no city Tn the south where the Giants are as popular as in Houston.
