New York, Jan. THAT the Fed

tain disaster for the new organization
was the statement of Secretary John

up his assertion with some interesting
figures of National league receipts and
expenses.
The jumps in the Federal league
will be longer than those in the Ma

planned, land railroads and hotels eat
up a big part of the profits. 1t costs
81. 500 to take the New York team to

now in vogue, and Kansas City is a
whole nights ride beyond St. Louis,

Milwaukee. Jan. 2.-Ad Wolgast,
Cadillac. Mich. former lightweight
champion pugiIist. defeated Jack Red
mond. Milwaukee. in five rounds of a
teE-round boxing contest yesterday
afternoon.
Referee Harry Stout stopped the
contest about the middle of the fifth
round. when Redmond was clearly
shown TO be outclassed and without
any chance TO win.
The first two rounds were rather
tame and resulted IN no advantage for
either boy. Wolgast tore loose at the
beginning OF the third session and
had matters all his own way from then
on.
The Michigan boy inflicted severe
body punishment and also had Red
mond bleeding from the mouth in the
fourth round.
In the fifth period Wolgast drove
several hard left jolts TO the body and
a right uppcrcut TO the jaw when the
referee stopped further procedure.

is an adjourned session of the annual
meeting which was held at Burlington
in September. At that time the opin-
ion was expressed by many of the
delegates that the matter of organ
izing the circuit for the coming year
should be postponed until January, as
by that time the various cities would
be in better position to state whether
or not they expected to be represent
ed in 1914. There have been numerous
reports that the league was to be re-
organized for next season and that
either Clinton or Dubuque, Ia, or Rock

that either Kewanee or Monmouth will
step out to make room for the new

EVANS TELLS OF
COLORADO GOLF
Two Western Enthusiasts Solve
Winter Golf Problem by
Playing in Snow.
BY CHARLES CcHIcK") EVANS.

BY CHARLES ("cHIcK") EVANS.
met most interesting elderly lady
on the train between Chicago and
Atlanta the other day. She was on
her way from Colorado, where her
winters are passed. She told me that
there had been an extraordinary fall
of snow in Colorado, and that DIN
Hemming and W. P. Hubbell had Gre
ated a sensation among golfers by
playing their favorite game on snow
shoes.
We hear a great deal about the
winter golfer and his red ball, or of
other golf-mad individuals who play
in billiards. in Toledo, but the snow
shoe golfer is something decidedly
new. My informant told me that the
newspaper account of the game was
very amusing-for there were spots
where our venturesome golfers fell
into snowdrifts and others where they
drove marvellous distances over the
hard and frozen snow.
The two players are well known to
the members of the Midwestern team,
and | am sure we would all be inter-
ested to know the scores, the length
of the record drive and the time con-
sumed in playing the round. l have no
doubt the delightful old lady could
have given me these particulars, but
/ neglected to ask them.
Just short time before 1 had had
a letter from an enthusiastic Denver
golfer and this letter was a pathetic
called forth by the fact
that the deep snow would render golf
impossible for four long months.
II. S. Colt, the English golf archi-
tect, writes me that he is coming TO
America again this year. He says
that he had such a good time on his
last visit that he is encouraged to
come back again. His idea is to go
south in March and then to Canada,
Chicago and the eastern cities. Mr..
Colt is one of the worlds greatest
golf architects and furthermore he
IS a very good golfer-indeed, there
are few amateurs in Great Britain I
who can give him. strokes.
Mr.. Colts last visit revolutioniZed
golf course construction in this coun- /
ry. Some critics have thought that 1
lie narrowed up all shots too much, |
those up to the hole, mis-
akenly assuming that our greens were
ike those in the old country-that is, /
hat we play almost to the greens, but
think that he has allowed for the
ong roll of our hard ground season

swings were wild.
Rounds four and five were without
feature. but in the sixth Smith forged
20 the front and thereafter was never
in danger. In this round he fought
the Canadian TO a standstill with left
uppercuts. sending him TO his corner

The seventh round found Pelkey
stalling and the seaman landing re-

swinging wildly. In the eighth the
gunner seemed to gauge his distance
and few OF his efforts were wasted.
Smith Gains Confidence.
Smith continued TO gain confidence
as the fight progressed and. dancing
around his bulkier opponent with the
agility OF a featherweight, worked his
left, TO great advantage and forced
Pelkey To cliEch for shelter.
After thirty seconds fight in the fif-
teenth round Smith tented with the
left. then swung his right with light

inc what the Federals may expect
from Chicago and st. Louis when the
Giants could not make money on these
two cities combined?
Furthermore, the Giants went
through the month of September, the
last of the pennant race, and with the
team in first place, a money loser.
That seems incredible, but it is fact.

SPORTING COMMENT

Pugilism occupied the stage yester-
day in all parts of the country. Eight
big scraps were scheduled. among
them two of great interest in Rock
Island owing to the fact that our own
heroes participated therein.
President Comiskey and "Muggsy"
McGraw of the Sox and Giants re-
spectively, are planning on big things
for the next two years. They expect
to tour South America in 1914-15, and
Africa in 1856. Some planners
those boys, Ell? Why not try the
north pole?
Local wrestling fans are greatly in
terested in the announcement regard
ing the possible appearance here OF
Doctor Roller, celebrated physician
and mat artist. If present plans ma
terialize the doctor will appear at the
Illinois theatre in the near future.
And other big graphing contests are
also planned for later in the season.
Waivers have been asked on the
entire Minneapolis club according to a
notice sent out from that city a couple
of days ago Come on you Federal
