stein, seated in the soft cushions of the
Overland limited on the Northwestern

as he buried his squat body deep in
the plush of a Pullman seat. The trip
to the far west is a new one for Ketch,
and he hopes to make good while there.
Clabby hated to leave his prosperous
business in Hammond, but he figures
that his jaunt across the country will
prove a lutrative one for him. OF
course. Lichtenstein was full of high
hope that Jim would be the undisputed
champion and Steve
would be wearing the lightweight |
crown before they came back. At any !
rate Clabby will get a chance at some |
one at Tom McCarey's club in Vernon |
on March II. His opponent has not |
yet been selected, but it will be either /
Mike Gibbons, George Chip or possibly |
Billy Murray, the Sacramento boy. who
stopped Leo Houck in IA rounds on the |
coast last Monday. Steve will have
Joe Azavido, the Mexican who took
AdaIph wolgast to trimming, for his

CUBS YET PROPERTY
OF CHARLES P. TAFT

Cincinnati, Ohio. Feb. 26.-After a
very brief talk with Louis J. Behan of
Chicago, an attorney representing
syndicate which desires to purchase
the stock in the Chicago National
league club held by Charles p. Taft
of this city, Mr.. Taft definitely refused
the offer made by Mr.. Behan and the
latter Immediately left for Chicago.
Mr.. Taft declined to make public
any statement as to the amount he was
offered for his stock, nor for what he
would be willing to sell it, but it seem
ed probable that control of the Chicago
club will remain in his hands for some
time.
Nothing has been done in selecting
a president of the club, and it is be-
lieved that no appointment will be
made until Mr.. Taft decides whether
he will retain or sell his stock.
