O'DONNELL Is STRONG
FOR MACK GO TONIGHT
Weight Will Not Weaken Him,
Gloucester Battler Says.
Open-air Boxing Bouts Here.

Joe O'Donnel, the boy with the punch
and idol of Gloucester, believes that the
weight governing his match with Willie
Mack, of Southwark, at the Broadway
tonight will not weaken him. He hopes
to return a victor by a knockout. Mack
Is an elusive boxer and unless Knock
out Joe crosses a haymaker Willie should
win because of his better knowledge of
the hit-and-get-away game. Previous to
the bout scales will be placed in the ring
and the principals will weigh in at 123
pounds.
The program follows:
First bout-Dutch George, Farmount, vs..
Second 6out-Young Hockey, Southwark, VS..
,SET T6i5s SSS5Eeh5is SSsi5 wsgsh. Gloucester vs.
,Wind;upI;Jos oDonneli, Gloucester. VS..

Two open-air clubs will stage shows on
Friday nights. Tomorrow night the Fair
hill A. c., Sd street and Lehigh avenue,
under the management of Stanley Dooley,
will hold its opening stag with Young
McGovern and Young Jack Toland fea-
turing in the star bout. Sun Ford, of
West Philadelphia, is trying to hook up
Jack Fitzgerald and Terry Martin for the
first show at the Ludlow A. c., 60th and
Ludlow streets, for June a. Ford will be
matchmaker and referee of this arena.
AL Rue is OF the opinion that his min
iature fight protege, Joe Bradley, can cur
tail the winning streak OF Joe Tuber for
mer amateur champion. He is anxious
to make the match. Bradley and Tuber
each weigh less than 110 pounds.
Harry Lenny writes from New York
that he Is anxious to rematch Jimmy
Murray with Lew Tender and also hook
up Packey Hommey with Sam Robideau
or Pal Moore. Tonight in New York MUIR
ray meets Abe Friedman, and Packey
tackles Mel Coogan. Murray then will
battle Kid Williams at Baltimore in a
10-round bout June 4. Jim will stop OFF
here on his way home.
Gunboat Smith will go under an opera
tion on his nose in a few days. AS a
result he was forced to cancel his fight
with Young Weinert at Ebbets Field,
Brooklyn next Monday afternoon. Bat
ting Levinsky and Porky Flynn have
been signed up to substitute. Mike Glib
bons and Soldier Bartfield may clash in
another go.

Another Official Score
In OFF moments We have kept official
tag on the number of Russian prisoners
reported from Berlin. The list accumu-
lated at the moment of lettering to press
was 14,567,S23. Yet there are still enough
Russians left to guard a SOO-mile front.
Which is more complicated as a prob
lem than outlining some baseball status.
The Spice of Life
II, as philosophers report. variety is the
spice of life. John McGraw and Connie
Mack should be having the spiciest season
of their careers.
Both McGraw and Mack have been
spending most of their spare time around
the top since 1910. With the exception
of McGraws first year. back in 1902
neither has ever come into the closing
days of May with tail-end attachment.
The experience is new. and new expert
ences. even If trife painful in spots,
are at least worth something.

The case of the Giants is one of the
most peculiar we have come across in
some time. We have heard many reasons
advanced for their inability to scramble
back into old haunts. but none that seems
absolutely convincing. Or is any rea-
son advanced ever absolutely convincing?
Back to Last Year
On the 1st of July last season the
Giants, with three pennant years back of
them, were above 900, still playing the
best ball in their circuit.
And then suddenly. without any warm
ing, the collapse arrived. From July until
October the Giants staggered along be-
low a .450 clip, unable to win half their
games. If they were afflicted with old
age how were they able to dash into the
lead through the first three months, al
ways the hardest upon veterans who
reach form slowly?
On Into 1915
Among causes advanced for the Giant
collapse was weakness at third base,
ragged pitching and Doyle's batting
slump.
To offset this for 1915 McGraw got
Hans Lobert, who has been playing first
class ball. He added Poll Perritt, who
was a winner with the Cardinals. And
Doyle has been smacking the missile
around 800 all the spring.
Yet at the end of six weeks the Giants
have been utterly unable to win half their
games.
Hard Luck Part of 1t
Part of this can be assigned to hard
luck, embracing injuries to Fred Merkle
and Fred Snodgrass.
But this doesn't cover all the ground.
The club isn't loafing or quitting, and
McGraw is as keen upon the assignment
as he ever was, which means practically
all the time.
Most of the deficit Is assigned to a pre-
ponderance of age on the club. Yet
among those who haven't got started
yet are George Burns, only three years
in fast company; Rube Marquard, who
is still under 25-and these have been
vital factors in Giant success.
Doping out the why and wherefore OF
success and failure In this baseball busi-
ness becomes at times entirely too zig
gag an occupation to be carried very far.

GERMAN CONSUL
 HIRED SPY
A. p. A. Service.


 SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 27.--The partial confession of Crowley that he had been employed as spy by Franz von Bopht, German consul general at this port has resulted in uncovering many of the German activities in this section and has also resulted in se- curing list of dates of sailings of arms and ammunition ships which is said to have been prepared ready for the use of the consul in his activities.
 Among other things the confession of Crowley discloses that the British were also very active in this section and there is much reason to believe that a large number of British spies were at i work endeavoring to learn the Ger man activities When questioned as ] to his connection with Crowley today, von Bopht at first denied that he knew the man and indignantly denounced the assertion of the former that he had ! been employed by himself. Later von Bopht admitted that Crowley had been l in his employ but asserted that it was in the capacity of a purchasing agent and not for the purpose of spy ing.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-The report of General Funston to the war depart ment relative to the fight on the bor- der in the vicinity of Nogales yes- terday, received today states that the shooting resulted in the killing of one American trooper and the wounding of two others.
 The losses suffered by the Mexican soldiers who, it is stated, were Car ranzaistas instead of Villa troops as at first reported, are given as between 'orty and orty-flve, the majority of whom were killed by the deadly Am erican fire.
