Ad Wolgast has promised to train for
two fun weeks for his return match with
| Harlem Tommy Murphy, and il was a
! wise condition Jimmy Coffroth imposed
| upon him.
Wolgast has been a stubborn fighter
| to handle and has taken more chances
than ordinary precaution would justify in
the matter of training.
Johnny Coulon, bantamweight cham
! pion Of the world, may be seen in
Paris ring before this year is over. John
| ny has received an offer of $500 TO box
! LedouX, the Frenchman, the second week
| in June and is seriously thinking of &C
| cepung.
Coulon is at present travelling with
| Luther McCarty, Johnny Kilbane and
Jimmy Clabby on transforming trip.
Abe Atten will get a chance to prove
! tonight whether he is still there when it
comes to swinging the padded mitts. A6e
Louis featherweight in a ten-rount bout
| at New York. and the result is being
anxiously awaited by followers of the
boxing game.
While speaking of the various contend
ers of the middleWeight championship do
not forget the name OF Jimmy ClaDby, the
Hammond boy. Although Jimmy is rath-
| er light for middleweight. he mas
| fought and bested some of the best boys
in the country and should be given a
! chance at the crown.
Leach Cross is not the only fighter in
| the Cross family. Phil. a younger
brother is fast building up a reputation
in the boxing field and may soon be
real contender for the welterweight title
Monday night he met and bested Young
Denny in ten-round go at New orleans.
Joe Rivers and Leach Cross are down
I91 tra} y,jU or their ten-rOllnH
sion in New York, April s. Thousands of
dollars will be wagered on the result Of
| this match, due to Cross victory over Joe
Mandot.
Joe Golden. manager Of Joe Thomas. is
irving hard to get his boy on with Joe

Though Wells did not have the glory. Of

There will be a mighty scramble when
Willie Ritchie is ready to make his next

ers. Mcfarland. Cross, Murphy and
Thomas all bowling for chance at the
same time?
Charlie Cutler, manager OF Jess vi

boxing gloves these days. Cutler has
Willard boxing from five to ten rounds

IF RiIIv Roche's opinion is OF any value
Young Shugrue. the Eastern lightweight,

Roche is at present dividing his time
between refereeing matches IN New orh

Al Palzer is still in Paris awaiting the
arrival Of Jack johnson. Al will prob

ing. We talked the matter over
from every angle and Jim told me
to go ahead and make whatever
announcement saw fit. the under
standing being that / was to act
as his manager If any matches
were arranged. He said he felt so
good that he believed he could be
ready to box in two months time,
if necessary, but, of course, there
will be no such bury as that. He
will keep right along with his prep
aration and if he continues to i'm
prove as he has done in the short
time he has been training he will
have something of a business like
nature to give out about four
months from now"
Ambitions Bring RidieuIe.
So far Jeffries newly aroused
ambitions have excited nothing but
ridicule. The relief exists in some
quarters that he is eager to patch
himself up sufficiently to get in on
one big cleanup. In what purports
10 be an interview given by him in
Los Angeles he is made to say that
IL Sufficient inducements" are Of
fered he may be seen in the ring
again on July L. Putting the mat
ter in this way has given those
who have been sore at Jeffries ever
since the Reno disaster a chance
to flourish their hammers. They
say sneeringly that he received
something like a cool one hundred
thousand for taking a few OF John
sons uppercuts, whereas 10 cents
would have been ample pay for all
the fighting spirit and fighting tai
ent he displayed. From which it
will appear that in talking of "suf-
ficient inducements" at this stage
of the proceedings Jeffries is ven
turing on very thin ice.

Game With Soldiers Will Give Smith Chance TO Try Out His Signals
PITCHERS GET STIFF WORKOUT THIS WEEK

over and over again. And they
learn them"
Bill Smith doesn't deny that this
diagnosis is mighty near the truth.
The old fox doesn't talk much
about his signals. He's as secre-
tive about them as a dog with too
much bone-and he likes to go off
and bury them. He will not dis
cuss signals with anybody. But
he's an awful bug about them, and
he has worked out some of the
cleverest schemes ever used in this
league. Any time a team gets wise
to Bits signals it has Second
sight" and considerable of it.
You can bet one thing. though
Bill will have them all on this
afternoon-and with plenty of
chances to get men on bases they
will be in use right along.
IF Bill sticks to his original pur-
pose of lending the Fort Nc
Phersonites a battery for to-days
game. they will doubtless be able
to make it moderately interesting
for Smiths men
f the weather is good and all the
practice games Of the week can
be played, Bill Smith will give his
pitchers a big tryout His plan is
now to use but two pitchers in
each game this week, instead of
three. Here's his list:
To-day against the Soldiers
Becker and Brady.
Thursday against the Soldiers)
Herring and Hartner
Friday against Boston, price
and Weaver.
Saturday against Boston,
Pitchers not definitely decided on.
No doubt Musser will be one of
them.
The fact that Smith has picked
Price and Weaver to open against
the Braves is an indication that he
believes these men are in the best
condition of any of the squad.
And. in fact, they no doubt are.
Price has come with a tremen-

REDS REACH BIRMINGHAM;
TO PLAY SIX GAMES THERE

BIRMINGHAM. ALA. March 19.-The
Cincinnati Reds blew into the Magic City
this morning, coming from Mobile, where
1T was not to their liking.
They will be here for one week and
will mix it with the Baron outfit for
six entertainments The Baron manager
hopes for some good practice with the
Reds, and believes that he will have the
best chance vet to get a line on his re-
cruits who will work in practically every
game.
The old timers on MolesworJh's squad
have been taking the practice stuff very
moderately in the effort to work up to
form There is no indication that the
sound of the rafting can will be heard
around lockwood for a time yet
As a matter Of fact. the entire bunch
Of Nannigans is showing up nicely, and
Wordsworth is getting the idea that he
will have a hard time sorting them out.
