BOXING
E F. s Andrewa.l


 Reports from California state that Jimmy CIabby,s showing agadnst Sailor Petroskey before Tom McCa- rey's club at Los Angeles, was not so brfTlfazt as some of the fans expected, despite the fact that the Milwaukee boy won cleam-cut victory over the navy man. Many of the followers of the game looked for a knockout on the part Of C1abby, basing their judgment on his former showing against Petros- key. when he defeated him at San Francisco after twenty rounds of hard fighting
 The. trouble is that Jimmy is what one would term a pundshing fighter. If he has a man under control and winning he does not seem at an anx- ious to rush in and play for a knock out; the same as many other good fighters. Just because a boxer fails to put his man to sleep is no dndica- ton that he cannot do so if he ig so inclined. It was this same fault that cost Jimmy a big match in England in 1911, although he was not entirely to blame, as he had a bad hamd at the time.
 After his tour in Australia, Jimmy went to England and was to have been matched by Hugh D. Mcintosh against Jim Sullivan for the cham pionship of Great Britain. Mcintosh wanted to introduce him first and matched him against Harry Duncan, a fair man at his weight. Claibby should have stopped the fellow in one, or two rounds at most as Duncan was almost scared to death the first round. JirnIny had only to hit his man, as the fellow offered practically no defense, but Jeeuns wanted to take his time and enjoy himself He jabbed Dun can and toyed about until his seconds yelled for him to go in and win. Even Mcintosh howIed at Jimmy, but the latter took hds time
 Then he discovered that his sore right hand was l1r-t again and he

London, Feb. 24-The touring Amer ican baseball players arrived here yes- terday. All are anxious to play in London, and efforts are being made to arrange two games at the Chelsea foot ball ground, which accommodates 7O.- GOO persons. The party, numbering g about seventy, attracted eonside derable attention.
 Manager John McGraw of the Gasnts came in, for a share of criti- eise from the Pal1 Mall Gazette be- casIse, in an interview in the Daily Mall, he expressed the opinion that baseball was a better game than cricket to enable Great Britain to re- gain her place in sport. The Pal Mall Gazette recommends that MT. McGraw keep these irnpertinences for his fEiendsAat home.
 McGraw told a newspaper man that the players were much disappointed that rain prevented their playing in Rome and Paris, while Charles Comiskey said: We must play here. Every one in the party is

ROBERTSON WON'T TALK ABOUT GETTING
 PENN TRAINING JOB

Lawson Robertson. trainer of the Irish-Ameriean A.kC. athletes in New York is very cagy about speaking on the topic as to whether not he will go to the University of Pennsyluan;as to assist George Ortfn in watching the Quaker athletes According to Robeft- son, as yet he has received no official offer, but several persons from the university have spoken to him about the job. Their visit was merely to as certain just what bonds tie him to his present berth. Robertson says that he would be able to leave the winged listed. organization without breaking his contract.
 Soon after Mike Murphy the for n1er trainer of Penn,s died Robertson was a hot candidate ito fill his boots. Most every athletic thought he would get the plum, but the dope went wrong, Dr. George W.5Orton was cho- sen instead. The reason, 1t is said, why the Red and the Blue is seeking another conditioner is because Orton,s results have not been up to expecta- tions. 8Orton has a. five year contract which will live for another three and a half years. If another trainer is selected he will be Dr. Orton's assist ant

YANKEES EAGER
 FOR HOUSTON CAMP
Heating and Other Pitchers at Hot Springs In Great
 Shape.

Secretary Tom Davis. of the New. York Americans, has completed all arrangements for the departure of the Chance men to Houston, Texas, next Thursday. Secretary Davis also announced the fact that the Highland- CTS have signed Carl Thompson the big rght-hander who gained a repu- tation with the University of Georgia several years ago. Thompson was with the club in the Fall of 1911, but subsequently, farmed to Jersey City.
 Hot Springs, Feb. 24-Keating. Mo- Hale, Cole, Schultz, Crdss. Caldwell, Warhop and Roberts are all over their early soreness and Chance is bound to like their looks when they report at the Houston training camp Satur day. The athletes have not missed taking the daily flop in the tub Since arriv- mfg here in the spa. Nor have they failed from footing it over the noun tains twice each day
 lWarhop is particularly anxious to Peach Houston and get into action. Jack sprained a tendon in his right arm last spring and was unable to do himself justice He is not comp1ain- ing over a bdg salary cut, as he is confident his pay will be increased to the old figures just as soon as he shows his manager that he's there with all his old time stuff.

CHICAGO MANAGER
 DOES NOT FORBID
 USE OF CIGARETTES

Columbus, Ga-,~ Feb. 24-While en route to Tampa Hank O'Day, manager of the Cubs, announced that he has adopted a liberal policy with which he will strive to get his team into shape and keep them satisfied, instead of endeavoring to drive them and putting a lot of restrictions on them of certain personal liberties that players like to indulge in.
 Are you to prohibit cigarette smok- ing2" he was asked.
 ''No, do not think shal1,'' he re- piled. ''I do not think it is necessary. A player likes to smoke a cigarette after a meal or before. There is no harm in it. I will object if he tries to smoke several boxes a day. That is poor for the wind. and if a player is not wise enough to know it he shall be to1d.''
 About players drinking?" was ask ed.
 sI do not think there is any great harm in that if they do it moderately p O'Day answered. sI will not rule against a man taking a glass of beer or two after a game of ball. Of course. if a fellow begins to load up and does not keep in condition then will put a ban on the absorption of liquors

AMERICAN BALL PLAYERS

Poke Fun At Athletes And Hope They
 Never Return To London

just hollering to play in London, so you can see it will be some game The best gate we had on the trip was one Of I 1000 at Manila, but there was very little to choose between Manila, Tokio and MeIbourne.'' Practically all the local newspapers published Hl-natured attacks on the Giants and the White Sox for not playing on Sunday. with a variety of ironical remarks with severe reproofs for lack of common po1iteness,' z based on the allegation that the play ers' managers took no steps to form the public when TOO persons were awaiting them at the field that there would be no game, the crowd staying Indefinitely in the cold drizzIe.
 The newspapers remark that it is hoped the players never return, as they're unwelcome.' seIn Paris they showed themselves impolite,'' and there are many hints about ..too much Montmartre.'' Some papers also poIed fun at the softness of the high priced players, who, like race horses, are too valuable to take into the rain

READY
 TO MEET ALPHA
 PLAYERS TONIGHT


 After the close finish made by the Kirkman A c. against the Blue Rdb- bons last week, the local basketball players are not taking any chances and there is likely to be fireworks every minute when the Alpha five of New York meet the Ribbons at Colon ial hall. The A1pT1as gre said to be a snappy aggregation They have beat en the crack Norwa1k team and clean ed up all opposition in the vicinity of New York.
 Al Reich, the heavyweight boxer who plays center for the visitors. is repllted to be a star player but the mere fact that he is against George Smith will be a guarantee of excite ment. Perhaps he will haul Smith down when the Big fellow craw1s up to drop one in the netting There will be a preliminary game between the Crescents and the Al1-Star five which will start at7.45. The main game be- gins at 8:30. Dancing will follow.

It's All Here
COLD WEATHER IN
 TEXAS FOR GIANTS.
Chief Meyers Reports and Says Catcher Wilson Has
 Jumped.

Marlin. Tex, Feb 24-Instead of basking under summer skies and en- loving balnny weather for their day of training, the Giants went through their first workout yesterday morning and this afternoon under the heaviest wraps, and even then their strenuous exertions hardly served to keep them warm. One of those Texas snorthers' that sweep down suddenly from no ing camp early yesterday morning, and the temperature fell 40 degrees in an hour.
 Chief Meyers and Mrs. Meyers ar- rived late yesterday afternoon and drought word that Mr. and Mrs. AEathewson would be here in day or two The Chief will jump right into training by aiding in the work of de- veleping the young pitchers.
 Another new pitcher reported at noon. He is. Jesse Spencer of Weir Kan Spencer is a right-hander and was dug up by Kinse1Ia last fall when the Giants played at Joplin on the W orld's tour. Spencer pitched for the University of Kansas team for two years and linen became a semi pro. Last fall he shut out the Kansas City American Association team in an ex- hibition game. He did not cost the NEw Y YoTk club anything
 En route to Marlin. Meyers stopped over at Los Angeles and saw Arthur Wilson From a, conversation he had tfe, Fredere1s. have grabbed Wilson ; There will soon be a showdown in his case. as Secretary Poster has wired him to report here at once.

FRANK CHANGE TO
 STAY WITH TANKS
No Truth in Report That He
 Will Go To Chicago.


 A wild, woody rumor drifted out of Chicago yesterday, and it chilled a few of Gotham's fans right to the bone.
 The rurnor had it that Big Ban Johnson, Czar of the American league, was so anxious to see Chubby ChoIly Murphy kicked into a snowdrift that he promised the National league they might have Frank Chance back as a sort of token of his appreciation and good will as soon as the boot-poWer was applied to Murphy. Jim Calf ney of the Boston Braves also was to was to send Evers back to Chi. It made a lovely story in Chicago. but didn't go so well in New York or in Scarborough.
 Frank Farrell has been more or less of a phiIanthropist since becoming a baseball naagnate. He has frequently paid young men very high salaries because they said they were ball play ers but Farrell thinks it is time to draw the line After landing one of the greatest managers in the history of the game, and watching him build up an entire new club, a. club that has a big future ahead of it. he is go- ing to sit idly by and watch all this take place Yes he is.
 There is not the slightest doubt that the Chicago story is absolutely ridic- u1ot1s, and that Frank Chance will meet his Yankee flock in Houston next Sunday Chance Is signed up with Farrell for three years, and there is not the slightest doubt that he will remain until he has succeeded in putting the Tanks on the baseball map.

Today in PugiIistic Annals.

1SS6-Jack Dempsey outpointed Pete Mccoy in 6 rounds at Jersey City. This was the first and only time that Mccoy was ever defeated. and many of the spectators believed that Pete should have been given a draw with the Nonparen. Mccoy fought in the we1terweight and mdddleweight divis- ions, and he was fast as we'll as a hard slugger. Pete was John L. SulHvan's s sparring partner when the latter made his first tour of America At the Dempsey Mccoy fight there were two referees, Jimmy Ryan and Mike Cleary, and both agreed in awarding the victory to Dempsey. Jack died of tuberculosis in Portland, Ore, nearly twenty years ago, and Mccoy was drowned in the wreck of a New York Boston steamship.

 1910-Abe Attel1s and Frankie Neil fought 10-round draw at New York.

ROLLER POLO IS
 LOSING VENTURE
Clubs Not Making Money and
 League will Soon Close.


 The American Roller Polo league is not doing very well. The finish of the season is only four weeks away, ac- cording to original plans. There has been some suggestion that the season 1be continued another week. but unless things improve with some teams there isn't much prospect for the extra week Several of the teams are not doing any too well financially.
 Although in first place, Fall River isn't getting good support Waterbury didn't pan out as we'll as was hoped for when the New Bedford team was transferred there. Albany has been under a handicap of late by losing its home rink for a fortnight or more. Providence is in the same box.
 The mar gin for the promoters is so small that the loss of hoEne eganes for even that short period has4had a disv astrouS effect.

In hard fought and close battle Columbia defeated the Princeton five last night at the Columbia, gym by a score of 1 8 to 12. The Princeton men were handicapped by the loss of four of the regular team, Jackson being the only man who is not ineligible or on the sick list. Although the Blue and White men held the lead through out, the battle was close The first half, however, was rather slow; but when the second opened the Princeton men tried to rally, and the half was fast if not brilliant.

MIKE GIBBONS IS
 WINNER OVER Mccoy

Mike Gibbons fntirnidated Al Mccoy in their bout at the Irving A C.. Brooklyn, yesterday afternoon, and, consequently, the St. Paul wizard expended little energy in whipping the mueh-overrated BrookIynite in every one of the ten rounds.
 Mccoy resigned. himself to fate after the first naix-up, for Michael beHed him with a. couple of solid smasIles to the jaw. Thereafter Mccoy sought refuge in a corner every time Gibbons made stab at
