No More Comeback
Fights for Burns

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3.-Tommy
Burns will make no further effort at
doing a come back" for the heavy
weight championship, and on February
10 will sail from San Francisco for Aus
tralia where he will be interested in a
prominent fight club.
Burns wired his wife here to-day to
this effect after comforting in San Fran
cisco with one of the two promoters
who have just arrived from the Anti
podes. Tommy said he was leaving to-
day for Calgary to close up his haber-
dashery shop. When he sails for Aus
tralia he will take an aggregation of
American fighters with him.

Work Begins at Ponce De Leon
Turtles Retain Five Veterans

and Liebhardt, pitchers.
Around this nucleus Mike will build
his 1914 machine, and If 1t runs
smoothly from anywhere near the
start we will admit without argu-
ment that Mike is some genius.
MOT all the newcomers will be ex-
~ periments, however,
Captain Mullen, at second base
Bed McDermott, at third, and Rey-
nolds and Lavigne, catchers, are men
of known ability, so that Mike has
an infield. a catching staff and sew
eral pitchers he can count on.
The outf1eld is problematical. Jack
Love really is more Of an infielder
than an outfielder, but his steadiness
work make him useful in either po-
sition. He also is a hard hitter and a
valuable man all around
AMONG the youngsters who will try
4 to fill the remaining jobs on Mikes
team are two forkhand hurlers-
Lefty Smith and Howard Merritt
who have both been tried out and
found wanting at the time by the To-
cal club.
Since then the pair have produced
some excellent pitching, and Mike is
counting on them heavily.
One thing that impresses the fans
is that Finn has not gone out unre-
servedly after the batting strength OF
staid veterans at the expense OF
youth and its prime features, speed
and "ambish." He has mixed old
heads and young as Judiciously as
possible, and the Memphis bugs are
hoping for a ball club that will hold
its own In 1914.
We will say this for the prospects
If anybody can slip them such a bal
club with the material on hand Mike
can.

Bob Bescher to Ask
For $4,000 a Year

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-While the
officials Of the Giants do not seem to
be alarmed by the refusal of Bob
Bescher the former Cincinnati out
fielder, TO sign contract, 1t was re-
ported here to-day that Bescher will
ask John McGraw, when the latter re-
turns from the world tour, for a SAL
airy Of $4,000 a year and three
year contract. Bescher wants nearly
$4,000 more than he received from
the Cincinnati Reds last year.

WI DIRK has started at Ponce De-
M Leon Ball Park for the season
w of 1914 There rs no sense in
getting het up about it, however, and
rushing madly out to street car with
the idea Of seeing some spring prac-
tice.
The work is strictly in connection
with the soil, except such of it as is
being done on the tall fence, which is
somewhat dilapidated in sections. A
crew of husky Senegambians, direct
ed by a chief Senegambian named
Henry, is combing snd ironi'g the
turf and grading the infield and
touching up the whole works gener-
allv. in anticipation or the spring crop
of Bermuda-not referring to posi-
BILE onions.
Bill Smith is there, too, good deal
of his time.
DY the way, Bill has had a letter
ID from Chapman, who jumped to
the Feds.
SORRY, old top" writes Harry, but
| had to have the COIN
Harry doesn't say how much he
had to have or how much he got, But
ne admits that he has signed for three
years with the st. Louis Feds.
Well, well, Harry-take good care
of yourself.
CPEAKING of Memphis--it doesn't
y matter; We'll speak of the Tur-
ties right now-speaking of Mike
Finn, then, it appears that his job OF
house cleaning, started in October OF
1918, has been pretty thoroughly car
ried on.

happenings in the ring. well,
it is, and I've got 1t. Now. as a

few fights would go the limit. or
course, a lot of the punches look
good to the spectators and they
applaud madly, but I've noticed
that most OF the blows that are
real factors in a victory pass un-
noticed by the crowd.
0D ERHAPS I've noticed this
more strongly because !
am more or less body fighter.

by the impact of the glove wheth-

Johnny Coulon told me the other
