 GAN APPEAR
 IN CHICAGO

Chicago, Feb. 7.-Mayor. Harrison censored Chicago sports yesterday in an order referring to the Gotch-Hack- enschraidt wrestling match as the Labor Day swindle at White Sox Park in 1911.''
 The Mayors activity was occasion ed by information of a proposed match to be held here the latter part of the month between Zbyszko and Lurich, heavyweight wrestlers. Mayor Harri- son declared that this match cannot be staged in Chicago. In letter to Chief of Police McWeeny, the Mayor said:
 My information is that Zurich is or has been under the management of persons connected with the Labor Day swindle in 1911. One of the pro moters has already seen me and has been informed that the match cannot be pulled off
 Should any application be made to you wish you to state immediately that the permission cannot be given in order that no expense may beer tailed and the plea be made after ward that because of this expense the permit should be issued
 T think the sporting public of Chi cago can get along very nicely with the small shows which are being given in halls and theatres. Certainly no permit should ever be issued to any of the crowd which gulled the public in the ch-E1ackenschnnidt dasco of 1911"

On the second floor will be six bowl ing alleys in charge of Mort Lindsey, the premier bowler of the state. In addition to holding the state cham pionship, MT. Lindsey also has the an average of 225.

JOHNNY LORE
 BEATS HOGAN
 IN TEN ROUNDS

In a. one-sided ten-round bout Johnny Lore sent One Round Hogan into the discard park of fighters by outpointing him by wide margin at the Forty-four-tl1 Street Sporting Club, New York, last night. Hogan acted as the bael0stop for all of Lore's s punches in every session, the local boy earning the honors over the Cali fornian from the, first bell to the last. Lore weighed 1855 pounds and Hogan 137.
 Hogan displayed poor boxing form, the worst he has ever shown in New York He lacked not only his wallop, but also his skill and ring generalship. The tactics that enabled him to defeat K. O. Brown were missing. He boxed like g, novice His judgment of dis tance was bad. He missed his swings and hooks by the proverbia1 mile. He did not rip over his punches, but pushed them in. . He landed just one stiff punch
 Lore carried the attack to Hogan in the first two rounds. He had a good stiff hook to Hogan's stomach. Hogan was unable to check or defect the hlowA and tz1ax landed repeatedly.

DIXIE SUPPLY OF
 OUTFIELDERS IS POOR

Out Of the ten outhelders who ad- vanced to the majors from the South seem that more than three have a good chance to stick. Those called were Welchonce, Moran, Hendryx, James, Jacobson, Long. Stengel, Will Johnson. The three who have the best qualifications for big Ieaguers are Welchonce Stenge1 and Johnston, and it will be surprising if these three stars do not stay in the big tent, says Jack Nye in the Sporting News.
 We1chonee was drafted first by the Griffith at Washington, and with that team he will be tried out in the spring.. He seemingly has everything that goes te make up a good player nothing wonderful, neither is his throwing arns but he is not weak in either of these departments of the game.
 Jimmy Johnston was the fastest thing in the league last season, and concIusively proved this when he shat tered the base-stealing record by a good margin. He is also a good hitter and a capable outfielder. He is a val uabIe man on account of his speed, and should be able to steal on any catchers in the country.
 Charley Stengel was the property of Johnny Dobbs at Mon ntg'omery, and, after joining Brooklyn, batted like a. field, ending the season well over 300 He is a. slugger and sensational fielder This fly chaser is hardly out of his teens and has shown more promise than any outf1elder seen in these parts in some time. Brooklyn fans raved about his playing toward the end Of last season, and it would not be Surprising to see him oust one. of the regular men next year.
 As to the others who were given big league trial, they will probably drift back to the Southern or some Class A league before the 1913 sea- son is far advanced. Moran did not
 make good with Washington, and Hendryx made only a fair showing with Cleveland Johnny McGraw is more CT less attracted by the showing of Baby Do11'' Jacobson last year, but this husky Swede fell off in his batting as the season progressed, and, apparently, will not be ready for pick ing before another year. He certainly has the promise, however, of being exceptionally fast for such big fel- low and as good fielder as the league has produced in some time.
 All told A Southern League players advanced Outside the three ot1tf1eld- CTS noted ust three are likely to be

Detroit Owner Denounces Players
 Together For Raise

Catcher Rondeau. who was with the Jersey City skeeters last season, sent in his signed contract yesterday. As Stanage has not signed and says he will not do so unless he gets what he is after Rondeau is the Detroit catching staff. Stanage Is the only experienced catcher the Tigers have.
 President Navln Of the Detroits is not in pleasant frame of mind these { days, and told a reporter yesterday that his players cause more trouble than the players of the other fifteen
 major league teams put together. ssE' When the Tigers are not striking you may be sure they are doing some thing else,s' said Navin.
 They are not content to bother me almost to death, but they plant seeds Of discord all over the American League. The demands that some of our players have made on me make me wonder whether they think we won the Worlds Championship last fall. I am positive if several of our men were told the club finished in sixth place they would drop dead from surprise" .s

HAUCHTON
 AGREES TO
 COACH AGAIN

Cambridge, Mass. Feb. 7-Percy Haughton, head coach of the Harvard football team, will continue as chief Fall. Haughton has practically de- cided to assume the coachShip, accord ing to his own statement, and official announcement to this effect will be forthcoming shortly.
 Haughton will receive an ample sal ary for his valued services, and a graduate committee will probably sub scribe a like amount. Haughton has produced championship gr1diron- com binations at Harvard for number of years, and Crimson supporters are so efated at the head coack's work that they are willing to give him any req It is not unlikely that Haughton's s salary per annun, all told, equals that received by the highest paid profes- siona1 ball players.
 The dropping of Dartmouth by liar ward in football will probably prove the opening wedge for a Harvard Pennsylvania football contest in 1913. Cornell will probably be given a bat tie for two yeans and if she displays unexpected strength will be dropped
 If the Ithacans display the ordinary everyday football of the smaller col leges she will be retained and another aggregation dropped, allowing the en- trance of the Philadelhians into the charmed circle. George Brooke, ac- cepted the coachshtp at Pennsylvania, understanding the Red and Blue man agement was in receipt of definite in formation that a contest with Penn sylvania, Yale or Harvard could be arranged.

Detroit, Feb. "A new Gtrike is sasd to be on in the ranks of the Detroit club. However, this strike does not involve the entire team. but only the Big Four of the Tigers-Ty Cobb.s Sam Crawford, 1ean Debuc and Oscar Stanage.
 It is said that these players have azreed among themselves not to sign with Detroit unless all four get what they are after They have banded toeether for what is believed to be the first organized holdout- President Nzvin- it is said, is willing to pay Cobb. S15,000 yearly. but refuses to raise the salaries of the other men.
 Cobb now will not sign until he gets S15.oo0. and. his three holdout companions get their raises also. If Cobb, Crawford, Debuc and Stanage are in earnest and will not play with Detroit unless they get the salaries they are after. the Tigers will have a team that would hardly win a pen nznt in the American Association, as those four men were the backbone of the club last season

PLAYERS ON GRIDIRON MAY
 BE NUMBERED

Princeton, N. J., Feb. 7.-Parke H. Davis, Princeton's representative on the football rules committee, will ad- vocate at the coming meeting of that body the passing of rule requiring that members of football teams be numbered. This was decided on at a meeting of the Princeton board of football control, held yesterday. to agree upon the changes in the rules which Princeton will advocate.
 Davis will also. recomm end that the goal posts be removed from the field of play and set on the rear line of the zone behind the goal line.
 While Princeton's football schedule for next Fall has not been completed, 1t was learned that Stevens, Lehigh, Virginia Polytechnic and New York University will probably be dropped and present indications are that gam es will be arranged with F'ordham, Buck nell and Holy Cross.
 The Harvard game will be played just a week before the Yale game. Fix cept for a. few open dates, the tenta- tive schedule for 1913 Is: Sept. 27, Rut- gers; Oct. IS, Syracuse; Oct 25, Dart mouth; Nov. 1, Holy Cross; Nov. 8. Harvard. Nov. IS, Yale.

CHINESE NINE
 COMING AGAIN
HAWAII CoLLEGIANs HAVE PLAN
 NED ANOTHER LONG TRIP.

The members of the Chinese Uni versity of Hawaii baseball team. which made one of the h,ngest trips ever attempted last year by college team, are so well pleased with the showing
 and the treatment received from their American opponents at that time they have decided to pay another
 visit to this country.
 Word received from Albert K. Aka
 ma, captain of the team states that have given the team permission to
 make another trip The Chinese col 1egians. whom New Workers had a chance to see in baseball uniforms
 during the early part of last sum
 meI, have jumped at the chance, and arran gements are already being laid
 for the "trip, which will be an extended one. Capt Afzana. writes stating that the
 team, which will be composed of about fifteen players, will leave Honolulu .on his team at San Francisco on March 26, immedia tely after which the long list of dates arranged for the Oriental ball tosserS will be begun. Starting on the coast the team will work it's
 way eastward, playing games in the coast and Middle Western States. Af- ter these are finished visits will be
 made to the East, where a number of
 ern college teams Southern and New
 England nines also will be met. The trip will be concluded or June 21. af- ter which the squad will return home.
 All told, the tour will comprise ap- prox xirnately 50,00O InileS-a nice little
 jaunt for college team.
 As yet no game has been arranged
 for New York, but it is very HkAlN
 that the Hawaii pastimers will play

WHEN THEY SLIPPED THIRD STRIKE OVER
 ON JESSE BURKETT

Frank Connaughton who was man. ager Of the Waterbury team contri- buted the following article to the
 Ths1 funniest incident I ever came across on the ball field happened in a game played in Worcester between the Haverhil1 Club and Jesse Bur kett's team. The game was an im- portant one and was attended by the president of the New England league. This was four years ago.
 Haverhiu had a pitcher named Mo Part1an in the box, but Worcester managed to keep slightly ahead. With for us to do was to pass a good hit ter to bring up weak one McPart- Ian did this all right. but Jesse Bur kett tried to block the game bX, go- ing to bat himself.
 The pass to the man preceding Burkett put three Worcester men on the bases and in position where a hit would send home some runs and probably put the game well beyond Haverhills reach. Q
 McPartIan did not have very much bother us much, toward. the end of some of McPart1an's games we had saved ourselves by making double plays. But with three men on the bases, McPartlan was on the mark and soon had Jesse two and two.''
 At that, however, McPartlan seem do to the ball, and before pitching the fifth one to Burtett he stepped out of the pitchers box and called to Duggan the catcher to come up the lane for conference I came along, also, and here is what McPartlan sug- gested.
 T am going to try to sneak one over on Jesse,'' he said. "Duggan, you go back to your position and keep off your mask. Stand about ten feet back of the plate and call Burkett some pet name to attract his attention away from me-
 Well, Duggan did just that, plan ming to take @ chance to catch the ball without any mask. And Burkett, old timer that he was, fell for it.
 Duggan was way back and made some remarks that Burkett did not like. Jesse turned to make some re- joinder in kind, and as he did SO,
