NICK KAHL HAS
NOT SIGNED TEAM
1t Is Expected, However, That
Successor VIII Be Named
in a Short Time.

Quincy. IL, Dec. 20-While Nicho-
las Kahl has not been formally signed
as pilot for the coming season. il is a
foregone conclusion that he viii again
lead the Quincy team next year, as he
has not only shown his ability, but is
also one OF the most popular men who
ever wore a Quincy uniform.
His success in taking a rank tall
ender in mid-season and winning the
pennant is history, while his record
from bottom 10 top in l. days" will
stand for some time to come.
This phenomenal stunt by which
the team rose from eighth TO first
place in less than two weeks was
largely due 10 Manager KahTs ability
TO instill the proper spirit among his
players and no matter who the next
president of the Quincy association
may be. one of his first official acts
will be that OF signing up the 1917
boss Of the champions for the next
race as manager.
Although Quincy won the pennant
last year and the attendance here was
good. the association faces a deficit
of 50 900. This in spite of the fact
that at no time the sa.ary limit was
overstepped Poor attendance on
many trips and additional expenses

BURNS is MAKING
BOXER OF PELKEY
Says He Is Teaching Protege to
Time Wallops and Quit
Smuggling.

San Francisco. Dec. 20.-Tommy
Burns, the One-time champion OF the
world, who is here directing the train
ing OF Arthur Pelkey, for the latter's
New Year bout with Gunboat Smith,
claims to have completely remodeled
his proteEc's system of fighting.
Il has taken Tommy six months,
according to his own telling, to trans
form Arthur from a swinger into
straight hitter. and the results achieT-
ed have justified the time and pains
devoted 70 the undertaking.
The strangest thing about il all IS
that Burns. after his years and years
OF service both as ring man and Il
coach, should consider the tr4nsmuta-
ton Of Arthur Pelkey's boxing con-
plete and not be troubled with fears
of . ryversion to the old order OF
things.
Some people will tell YOU that the
task of teaching an old dog new tricks
is not a whit more hopeless than try
ing TO get a fighter who has become
set in his actions 10 adopt new style
Of warfare.
Il may De as Burns says that Pei
KEY has discarded the sidewinder for
that more graceful form of assault,
the straight punch. but the chances
are that one singing jsb on the nose
viii cause Arthur to forget all that
Burns had been at such trouble to
teach him and 20 right back to the
windmill tactics he employed in his
other fights.
OF course. there IS this 10 it. Pelkey
may be more JractaDle than the aver
age pugilist and may be impressed
with the Innovations cOunseled by
Burns In such case he may have
applied himself TO the task Of acquir-
ing new ideas in such manner as to
the belief that anything he
has learned viii remain with him
permanently.
