Held in New York City.

New York, Dec. Madison Square
Garden still stands. The much-herald.

no stir up even the slightest spark.
Some pretty poor fights have been
around this city in the last few years
and while one, if he were charitable e,
might not call the one last night the
worst of them all, no contradiction
will be forthcoming from the majority
of the spectators that it closely ap-
preached the limit.
For size the two cOntenders were
wonders. Willard, 6 feet inches and
weighing 235 ga pounds. and Morris,
feet inches and tipping the beam at
pa IA. That was all there was re-
markable about them. As fighters they
were the last word. Neither knew
anything about the ring art. Willard
offended the least, so he was entitled
TO the decision on points in the ten
rounds that the thing las ed. The

the Pittsburgh Pirates on the next
spring training trip of Fred Clarke's
athletes
The former Cub infelder and re-
Gently deposed leader OF the Cincin-
natl Reds returned yesterday from
Kansas City. After denying the re-
port from there that he was dickering
with the Federal league magnates for
the job of manager of the Chicago
team. Tinker disclosed the informa-
tion that from reliable sources he had
heard that Fred Clarke wanted to
make a trade with the Reds whereby
Tinker would become a member of the
Pirates.
CLARK has not approsched me-" said
Tinker. but ! got the word from
others that he wants me and will try
TO trade for me at the meeting OF
the National league magnates in New
York. also was informed that Clarke
will be here on Sunday on his way to
the meeting, and that he will try to
see me, but l have no appointment
with him
One reason the Pirates disappointed
so many fans last season was because

all the time, and il is the general
opinion of play srs that the Dutchman
has about reached the end of his bril-

surprising 10 hear that Fred Clarke is
eager TO pick up a valuable infielder
and as Owner Dreyfuss of the Pitts
burgh team and Owner Hermann OF
the Reds are close friends il is pos
si0le a trade could be made easily.
Tinker has no objections to playing
with Pittsburgh. but declares he must
be consulted before he is transferred
from Cincinnati. He also said he
would have no complaint against play
ing with the Cubs. and IL is believed
that when the magnates gather in
New York for the meeting johnny
Evers will be there prepared TO offer
a swell trade for the former west

next Monday night. The South Side
ring marvel is billed for a scheduled
eight rounds in ST. Louis with Harry

Farland is not making any weight for
this match. Trendall is a smaller man
and Packey knows too much for him,

probable result for yourself Unless
Mcfarland breaks an arm or leg he
will win in canter
TrendaH. OF course. is good enough
to make Packey box some. and the
Chicago crack is known to be kind
party TO opponents who don't get too
fresh with him. So-the St. Louis fans
no doubt will witness a nifty boxing
exhibition. with neither man suffering
any real damage. Packey cannot al
ford TO risk any injuries with the Brit
ton match so close al hand.
Mcfarland and Manager Emil Thirty

morning and the Irishman will resume
