ERIE SEEKS NEW
FIELD FOR TEAM
Report Has it After a Berth
in the Tri-State 0rganiza-
tion-FanS Hold Canadian
League Too Small.

ERIE, Pa, Dec. 23.-Erie is having
a tough time in determining its base
bal status for the 1914 season. but it
may find a home in a new circuit pro-
posed to embrace territory now COW
cred by the Tri-State league.
The Sailor owner. T. j. O'Connor.
has been angling about for a berth in
this circuit. He recently made a trip
down to Philadelphia to confer with
the men who are back of the move
ment to reconstruct the organization
that has been in existence for years.
Nothing has been determined yet.
Horace Fogel, who got his picture
in the sport page a lot of times be-
cause of his actions while president of
the Philadelphia Nationals, is the
main figure in the new league. He is
pushing h proposition to Dust sew
eral towns now in the circuit and re-
construct on lines more approved by
hImseI. Naturally Horace would be-
come president Of the new league
which would be known as the Pennsyl-
Yania state.
Fogers scheme is 10 make up the
circuit of Erie, Altoona, Reading.
scranton, Willkesbarre, Harrisburg.
Willtamsport and Troy. He would
discard those cities which did not
show TO advantage last season. one
of them to be supplanted by the thriv-
ing Erie. Dissatisfaction is under
stood to exist in the Tri-State over the
attendance at a few Of the cities
which have held franchises.
The Erie fans do not like the pro
position TO put Erie in the Canadian
league, a class c organization. They
have a a taste OF class b ball in he
Central of 1872 and relished it. The
proposed Penn State circuit would
travel under class 3, with ball on a
par with that furnished in the New
York State and the Central.

CLEANUP HITTER
WANTED BADLY
BY WAYNE BOSS
BiIIiken Manager is in the
Market For Man Who Can
Swat When SWatS Mean
Runs Across Pan.

FORT WAYNE. Ind, Dec. 23.-Al-
though the three fly chasers who
the Billiken outfeld al the
close OF last season-Bil Colligan,
Ollie Welch and Freddie Bratchi, are
still in the Fort Wayne fold and are
available next season. it Is more than
likely that some changes will be made
in this department between now and
the opening OF the 1914 campaign. It
is pretty generally figured that owner
VarneIl will hardly stand pat on this
trio, but that he will add at least n
more outielder, one who is certain to
deliver IN the Central, some time dur
ing the winter.
Colligan. WEIGH and Bratchi each
gave a pretty good account Of himself
while they composed the local out
field, but to let that trio go ON
through a whole summer is another
proposition. All three are pretty fair
stickers. but none Of them can be
counted on as 9. rea slugger n a
hard cleanup nan in the Outield Is
almost a necessity in any class Of
league ball these strenuous times.
The three mentioned above are con-
sistent performers with the stick. but
any time they reach the 800 circle
they nave gone their limit.
Any two Of the three at present on
the Fort Wayne team, If stacked
along side OF a real slugger, VIII COM
pose a nifty outield. There is little
10 chose from among them. COlligan
is more OF a finished ball player than
either Welch or Bratchi and is a
smart fellow for any class b aggrega-
ton. He is far from an aggressive
player, but is an upright outhelder
and fast on the bases. Judging from
their play here, both Bratchi and
Welch Will hit a little Oftener than
COlligan Will, but Welch's lazy make
up will count against him If any Of
the three are dropped. Bratcht is
only a kid and figuring upon his per
Torrance here last summer he viii
develop into a great little Outielder.
His size is the only thing against him.
One OF the season dope settlers fig
ures that Varnell will cut loose with
one of the above for the sake of a
cleanup man who will deliver with
the hardest and timliest hitters in the
league, because, from summer to
summer, he has always had a slugger
Of this type in his Outfeld. During
the close of the Hendricks reign at
this point il was Lester Channel and
Curt ElstOn. two natural batterS
whose offerings with the y bat iced
many a game for the Billiken nine.
Coming on down the line it was Cy
Young and Roy Keener, who saw ser
vice when Burke and Casey were the
Fort Wayne leaders. KeenCr and
Shaughnessy carried the bulk Of the
heavy sticking in 1912 for Shag's
championship nine.
Keener started here again last sum-
mer and during the forepart of the
season shared with Guy Tutweiler,
probably the best Of Fort Wayne's
sluggers in recent years, in the club
bling work. When Keener left in the
midst OF the season for the Federal
league Tutweiler assumed the %cIOuting
role and, although he got timely aid
from fellows like Ted Anderson and
Bunny FabriQue. il was his stick
which delivered most frequently.

The Story of a Messenger Boy Who Became Champion
Of the World and Despite This Proves to be Real Man
CHAPTER III.

When Johnny Kilbane reported to
Jimmy Dunn at the latter's camp he
had never worn boxing gloves but
he had seen a few sparring matches
and imagined he would like to be-
come a bower. After one day in
camp, during which he had acted as
punching bag for Dunn, he knew he
wanted to become a boxer.
The first night in camp Kilbane
wanted to know whether Dunn used
tobacco, and Dunn reptile in the
negative. The next day Dunn saw
Johnny empyting his pockets of the
tobacco he had carried to camp.
AT this time Kilbane was Is. From
the start he showed speed and ability.
Dun became attached to the little
fellow and took him to Akron, o., for
his fight with Brock; then to New
Castle, Pa, where Dunn made his
headquarters with Jimmy Dime, the
fight manager.
Before he had been compelled to
leave school Johnny had a love affair
with a schoolmate. The boy and girl
were together so much that she was
looked upon as his sweetheart and he
as her beau.
In the window OF a New Castle
jewelry store Johnny saw a brace
let which he determined to buy as a
birthday present. He needed $3.50
and went TO Dunn with his trouble.
Dunn arranged q bout between Kill
bane and kid" Campbell. for which
S25 was offered. Dunn insisted the
losers end should be s. to insure
Johnny achieving his hearts desire.
Kilbane won hat fight, his maiden
effort, and with 1t $20. He bought
h bracelet all right, and today 1t is
one OF the girls proudest possessions,
although as the wife OF the feather
weight champion and the mother Of
his two baby girls she has articles Of
personal adornment worth many
times the value of that first bracelet.
The winter of 19O7-OS Tommy Kill
bane, also Of Cleveland, but not re-
lated to Johnny, gained prominence
as a boxer and friends Of the boys
demanded a match.
Dunn figured hat Johnny was not
ready TO meet Tommy. When he
made this decision Dunn and Kilbane
were out OF funds. A purse of $500
offered for the match would have
tempted almost anyone, under the
circumstances, but, rather than take
a chance of running his pupils ca
reer. Dunn refused the match.
Dunn walked from the west side
To the newspaper Office downtown,
where the promoters met. because he
didn't have carfare. The next day he
pawned a diamond ring for living ex-
penses for himself and Johnny.
Dunn matched Kilbane with a few
lesser lights. carrying him along cas-
lily and watching him develop rapidly
until he figured him good enough to
meet Tommy. Johnny won his fight

JONES WILL NOT
De A COMEBACK
Former Manager of Chicago
White SOX Says He is
Through With the National
PaStime For Good.

Fielder Jones, once pennant-win-
ming manager of the Chicago White
Sox, now president of the Northwest
ern league and prosperous Oregon
apple grower, will never again man
age a ball club. This is Jones posi-
tive statement.
Eastern managers have made him
tempting offers. He believes that had
he listened to the Establishments of
the baseball powers that be a season
or two back he would have prOited
more financially than he has by quit
ting the game and growing apples.
But he has quit the game for good:
he is doing we'll in the business world
and he is lot to be persuaded.
You are not TO be tempted" sug-
gested the interviewer.
Indeed, / have been tempted"
was the answer. Don't think l have
not. Don't think that with all my
present prosperity 1 have been su-
premely happy or supremely salts
fed.
mo man who has spent as many
years in baseball as | spent is ever
satisfied to quit. When the spring
time m and the boys report for
practice the old fever gets into a fell
lows veins and the longing TO be back
in the game again comes and comes
until it hurts all the way through.
But when l quit the game | quit
for good. l made up my mind that I
was reaching the age when a man
must do something TO provide for the
future. Possibly l might have con-
tinued successfully as a bench man
ager. but that is hard to tell. The
bench manager holds his job in base
ball only as long as he succeeds"
