Johnny" Dundee, the New York lv,,
weight, lays claim to the dIstinction
having been the busiest boxer durinr N
1914 season. Dundee took part In n h,1
ties during the year-an average of n
scraps a month. Even 'Battling' rxyll
sky, the heavyweight war horse, aid y
fight as often as that.
Four of Dundee's battles were 20-fumi

One of the athletic marvels Of n
present day is Jesse Carey, who, al Y
age of 49, ranks as one of the very NJ
roller skaters in the world. Carey y
been skating for more than 20 years. VI
he seems to be just about as good tosN
as he was when In the prime Of y
youth.
One of Careys most remarkable r.|
foTInances was that in Paris in 1910 Via
he covered 2S0 miles during "a hours. N
skated continuously, never leaving N
track for a minute during the entn
hours. Other contestants, much younrl
than Carey, were forced to take frequs
rests, and the result was that Carey n
ished many miles ahead of his near
competitor
In Brussels Carey defeated nearly
contestants in an unlimited race. b
skated 43 miles without a stop, and 4
that time every other man in the I'D
had been forced off the track.
Carey holds every European roas'
skating record from one mile up to 4
hours.
Carey skated in the recent 24-hour ror
contest in New York, and at the irla
was fresher than any of the youths Va
were able to stand the grind. Calas
partner lost lap during the last bed
of the race.

the Columbia Oval f. c. and the Clan Chis-

MAY TRADE LoBERT TODAY

The closing of the Hans Lobert deal,
Whatever that may mean or bring to mass,
ls rapidly approaching the time limit of
tho epoeh-making Yankee sale For the
last three weeks Lobert has been sched-
uled to meet President w. F. Baker In

day. we are reliably informed, the affair
Will be closed. Baker, who has been in
disposed for 10 days is better and will
arrive here from his home In Brooklyn
Today. John McGraw Is also likely to
pc 3 party to the proposed conference.
John wishes to add Hans to his "57 va
fieties'' who will be taken south for the
spring training session. The Phlllies do
not want to part with Lobert, but the
financial demand of tho premier third
oaseTnan is so great that the PhilIy man
agement will hesitate long and loud be-
fore coming across" McGraw is willing
20 pay Lobert what he demands, but
Manager Moran is not willing to make
deal for his disposal at the terms offered
BY McGraw. However, the Giant helms
man hopes to offer something sufficiently
attractive to Moran this afternoon The
Boston Braves who have just gotten our
greatest all-round player Sherry Ma
ges. would also like to get Lobert. and it
r. not beyond the bounds of possibility
that Hans win be turned over TO Boston.
Pirates Overlooked Talent
The Pirates passed up two brilliant per-
formers and so have other clubs in the
history OF the game. Shanks, the Wash
1ngton outnelder, was pronounced on the
edge OF the grave. but he performed a
''come-back." In 1910 shanks went to a
