GOLF AND AUTOS
 HURT BATTING EYE
McGraw Opposes Scotch Game and Fast Motor Cars
 For Players.
1Rufralo Enouirer.l )

Chicago Jan. 17-John J. McGraw becomes wrathy when he hears of a member of his New York team play ing golf. So vratIy did McGraw be- come that he gave strict orders against playing the Scottish game and threa*- !. ened to fine heavily any player found guilty. Many other managers beliepe guilty. Many other managers believe eye and spells the players batting form. Some players have admitted this
 Come right down to it, though, give heed to the case of Joe Jackson of Cleveland, and you will discover some thing deadIier than golf, something that runs on four rubber tired wheels and has given Detroit the reputation of being the center for misunderstanding the thing. Jacksons love for his auto is blamed for his inability to hit 400 this year.
 When Jackson started driving his automobile he was batting .412 and stood a good chance of beating Tyrus Cobb for the swat honors of the Amer ican league. Then came a slump in Jacksons average and he closed the season batting .373,@ loss of forty points of batting value.
 Jackson is not the only player who found autoing very injurious to good batting Cobb himself has blamed several batting s1umps on auto driving ana always SnOWeQ JuQS41iSA4t SAAO0SA to Hay off'' when driving interfered with hitting.
 Cobb explains that the eyes become injured by the force of the wind ex- perienced in fast driving. Sam Craw- ford, who drives a lot, never exper1- enced this difficulty because Sam al- ways drives slowly but with men of nervous disposition life Cobb and Jackson slow driving becomes tortur- ous. Several members of the Phila-- deTphia Athletics last summer kept their autos locked in a garage so their playing would not suffer.

HEATING PRAISED
 BY N. Y. WRITER
Predicts Great Season For Lo- cal Boy Who Signs 1914 Contract With
 Yankees.

Here is what the. New York Press says about Ray Heating, who signed his 1914 contract yesterday with the New York Americans:
 Ray Keating. the crack young heaver of the Yankees, breezed into town from his home in Bridgeport, Conn, yesterday. and after a short conference with President Farrell Ray affixed his signature to Yankee con tract Heating is not satisfied with his showing last season. and feels that he will have a far better season this year.
 The youngster is of the opinion that the Bermuda climate did not agree with his arm last season, and had something to do with it's 1ameneso during a good part Of 1913. Heating won six games for the Kilts and lost twice as many. though most of his victories were of the history making order
 Keattfng won the first victory SCOT ed by the Yankees last season, when he beat the Red Sox in close game by a score of 3 to in Boston. A week later Ray won his most notable triumph of the year, a shut-out vic tory over the Athletics. Keating fac ed Ed Walsh on Reating Day, which was early in June, and won the High flanders first win of the season on home loam-
 Keating did little after this until late in September, when he defeated the Red Sox on the Pofol Grounds, it being the first time the Bean Boys had been conquered by the Yan- kees in Gotham in two years and a half. e
 Ray did not behave himself extra well while his wing was undergoing repairs. and Frank Chance was com pelled to wish an indefinite suspen- sion on him. There is no doubt that this suspension did the boy more good than harm. as it taught him major league discipline. Keating is nothing more than a boy; he is only twenty years old, and he has yet to reach the years of discretion
 However, there is no doubt that he will have a brilliant career ahead of him if he sticks to business. as he has all kinds of natural ability Keatin, 2 is still growing. and when his meas ureInents were last taken he was five feet eleven inches tall and weighed 185 pounds

 TRAINS HEATING
Former Champion Declares Youngster Will Beat Lev-
 fnsIky Here Next
 Tuesday,

Ruby Robert F9itzsinafnolls, the grand old man of the ring, who is not yet satisfied that his lighting days are over. has ordered Jack Keating, the navy champion, to let up in his train-. ing for his .ten-rou11d bout with Le- whisky here on Tuesday night FItz has been handling the navy fighter for the last for might, during which they have been working at a private gym in New York city.
 Fftz and crops of strong youths who some day hope to get into the fight game as regular boxers nave been going eT1 with skeating in; three and four-round sparring matches dur ing the last week.. Big Bob, who is just now trying to come back, took advantage of having man like Keat- ing to work with, and Jack was com pe1led to go up against ali the science of the Cornishman.
 ftY ou can say for me- said F.itz, the other day, after a workout, that I think this boy here is one of the few regular fighters there are in the ring today. He has speed, tae~head and the punch and from what I have seen of Levinsky, I don't think there will be much trouble for Heating"
 ; This is all very illuminating, until one turns to look over the record of the battling Hebrew from Philadel- phia Although Keating has hested Art. Pe1lzy decisively, taking but four rounds to turn the trick, the records show that Levinslxy has done the more work. Danny Morgan's man has pol ished them Off fast and so thor ough1y, that he is unquestionably the goods. Neither he nor Morgan enter tain any fears as to the outcome or the affray at Eagles hall on Tuesday.
 Matchmaker Terry Lee, who is pro noting the boxing card which is to be staged that evening. has arranged clever trio of preliminary bouts that should bring the fans up standing: Tn the senf-wind- Phil Monroe and Bud Palmer Of. this city will set to- gether for eight rounds.

Veteran Player Will Lead American Team Against
 British Invaders.

James M. (ABonte1 Waterbury, Jr-, will be the captain of the American polo team which will defend. the Lnar- ternationa1 cup now held by the Meadow Brook four, which has been in possession of the United States players since the Big Four defeated England for the worlds champion ships at Birmingham in 1909, and which will again be played for al Westbury, L.. T., beginning June s next na
 Ever since the announcement By Mir. Whitney, who explained the American teams throughout their se- ries of victories, that he was forced to give over his leadership, there has been much speculation as to who tha next captain would be, with rIimer f1rst making one and then another o1 the world-faaned Big Four for the possessor of the title.
 MT. Waterbury has been identified with international polo as a player since the third match for the trophy was played in Birmingham in 1909, where the Americans were defeated
 It was not until 1909 that MT. Whit ney got together what has since then been called the Big Four for a sue cessful invasion, with the result that the team comprised of Lawrence Wa terbury J. M Waterbury. Jr.s Harry Payne Whitney, and Devereaux Mil burn won in straight games, and have not since re1inQuished their hold on the worlds title.

C0RBE ! s .BOX KING TALK
Gibbons, By Giving Weight May Lose
 To Packey Me Farland

my is a. big card in California the Ematch was grabbed by , Irnss CToffroth, who set the date for December o, .1ast. For oneeefn his career as promo Eter Cofroth was wrong on the weath CT, and the ina tch had toasbe called off on Accoumf Of rain RitcI1ie re- fused to go on wi th sEhe bout a day or two later am d N perfectly right in the stand he took, as he had deve1- oped an a;bscess in tfae nose nd W ou1d or treating his upporters fairly if he had consented to box Murphy while in such poor physical condition.
 As the public still ciaa4Ored for the match Ritchie and Murphy again signed articles and the mill was to have been staged next Friday. but the ehampionss Jinx got on the job again neeessitating a further sppstponement.
 On form 5 Ritchi G. looks winner. Still Murphy has done much of his best work in afifornia, where tn he climate agrees with him, and he has trained harder for this: match than for any in which he has engaged dur ing his ten years in the ring.
 Reports from the coast indicate that popular sentiment is with the New Yorker. but the coin of the realm favors the champions chances. And while not always right, it looks as though the gam blers have the correct idea this time. Murphy has accom- p1ished some big things in the ring. but tEis time he is upa against a younger and ycleverer boxer-also a harder hitter-and if he should win it will be a big Surprise to Eastern sports who can't figure him better than an outside chance to cop the title.f
 Two other light-weights of national reputation-Ad Wolgast. former cham pion, and Joe Rivers, the Los Angeles candidate for the tltle-are to meet in a ten round bout in Milwauk eesson January 23. S9
 While Wo1gast is not considered so formidable as he once was there is no denying that he is still a corking good fighter and in a limited round affair will be able to set a very stiff pace. He has already scored once over the Mexican-a somewhat ~un- satisfactory decision by the way and there are those who say that Rivers is not the ganest youngster in the world and accordingly figure that Ad is likely to repeat the trick. If he should stop Rivers it will put Senor Joe out of the cham pionship running for the time being, and advance the ex-ehampion to a position where he could demand 8 return match with Ritchie.
 As usual before a bout, Ad is very confident, but reports say that he is taking a more serious view of the mill than he professes and that he is training harder than has been his habit in the past. Wo1gast, in shape, may surprise the talent and defeat Rivers again. If successful Al will Immediately issue a challenge to the only man who has beaten him de cisively-Williie Ritchie-and in all probability New York will land the match as both boys are partial to the ten round game, and the financial in- ducements aSNew York match offers.

Today in Pugilistic Annals.

1895-Tommy Ryan blew out Jack Dempsey in 3rd round at Coneys Is- land. Blew out is the phrase to use, for Dempsey, the fallen middleweight champion, was so far gone through the ravages of tuberculosis that Ryan had only to blow at him to send him toppIfng to the floor. It is only fair to Ryan to say that he did not know Dempsey was so weak until he enter ed the ring, and that then he refrain ed from landing any blows that might hurt the poor old boxer. All of Demp- seys friends begged him not to make the match, but Dempsey felt sure he had one more fight in him. Ryan spared tenderly with the sick man for rounds, when Jack fell to the floor, exhausted by his own efforts. Dempsey died in Portland, Ore, later in the same year.
