BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BOXING

Pdckey McF dfldno was III SillSoSo
today to ratify or veto the judgment
of his manager, Emil Thirty, who has
decided that the ex-stockyards man
shall fight Mike Gibbons for the mid
dleweight title before Billy GlDson's
club in New York Bids offered for
the fight were opened yesterday and
the terms of the Gotham men were
the best discovered. u
Mcfarland preceded examination
of the bids with the statement that
he was sincere in his determination
to battle Gibbons, and will post
$1,000 forfeit to bind the match. He
admits being heavier than lighting
weight, but believes he is near enough
condition to take off the surplus with
a week or ten days of strenuous road
and gymnasium work.
A bout between Gibbons and Nc
Farland should be classic affair.
When Packey was fighting in the
lightweight division he was recog-
nized as the cleverest man in that
circle, and there is no question of the
f1ashiness of Gibbons. 1t will be a
battle decided on points and pure box
ing, with smuggling and stout punch

The 1915 Frank Schultz is a fight
ing ballplayer, scrapping and scram-.
bling for little bit more than an
even break all the time, keeping his
head continually in the air, and per-
forming his labors in an interested
and enthusiastic manner.
And in that difference of playing
spirit lies much of the hope for Cub
success in the National League pen
nant campaign which has just been
inaugurated. Schultz is a dandy
player, with several years more of
service in his system, and when he
gives his best he is one of the most
valuable fellows to his team in the
league. He likes to work for Bres-
nahan, old breaches have been heal
ed, and harmony reigns between
Frank and every other member of the
West Side troop.
Schultz batting .27o this season
will be as valuable as a 300 hitter
who played with the spirit he dis
played in 1914. He will travel farther
and faster on his hits, he will steal
more bases, and score more runs
than he did year ago. He will exert
himself more in the field, and make
the fans realize that he is just what
he is, one of the best defensive out
posts in the game today.
An instance of the new Schultz
spirit: In the third inning with two
out yesterday Schultz singled
Fisher home from second base.
Thereupon Frank promptly proceed
ed to swipe the middle station him

Bankers Son Admits Truth Of Points

Proof 10 Not Clear.

Boulder, Colo.-With an affidavit In
which he admits practically all the
evidence secured by the authorities
to be used against him in his trial is
true, Rienzi Dickens. held in the 10.
cal jail for the murder Of his father,
w. H. Dickens, filed an application
for bail. A strenuous effort will be
made by District Attorney r. w.
Fleming to have the application de-
MED.
Four reasons were cited by the
prisoner why he should be given his
freedom on bail. First he asserts
that he is not guilty of the murder
or any connection with it. Secondly
he coutends that he is entitled to
bail because he claims the proof
against him is not evident and that
the presumption is great. He cites
Article H., Section 10. Of the State
Constitution. in which he claims that
unless the proof is evident and the
presumption small the defendant may
be released from custody on bail.
He next claims that the evidence
is only circumstantial; and, lastly.
that even If a conviction was secured
at the trial the sentence could not
be capital punishment.
In the affidavit he admits he pur-
chased a high-power rifle. He used
the gun, he asserts, five times.
while target practicing. He also
admits that the shell which was
found in the ash pit in the rear
Of his home is identical to those he
bad explodide while practicing. That
he took the rifle apart and distrib-
uted the sections throughout his gar
age he admits. as does he the purchas-
ing Of silencer for the weapon. The
admission that he was absent from
his home at about the time the shoot
ing occurred also is recorded.
1t Is the general opinion in Roul-
Cor that drastic steps will be taken
to keep the prisoner in Jail.

Notwithstanding following is the
text of the American note to Austria
on the Aneona incident:
1.-THE Secretary Of State to Ambassa'
dor Penfield:
Department of State, Washington.
d. c.. Dec. 10. 1915.
"You are instructed to address q
note to the Austro-Hungarian minis
ter of foreign affairs textually as fol-
lows:
"The government Of the United
States has received the note of your
excellency relative to the sinking Of
the Ancona, which was delivered at
Vienna on Dec. Is, 1915, and trans
mitted to Washington, and has given
the note immediate and careful con-
sideration.
"On Nov. 15, 1915, Baron Zwiedinek.
the charge d'affaires of the imperial
and royal government at Washington.
transmitted to the Department of
State q report of the Austro-Hungar-
Ian admiralty with regard to the sink
ing Of the steamship Ancona, in
which it was admitted that the vessel
was torpedoed after her engines had
been stopped and when passengers
were still on board. This admission
alone is, in the view Of the govern
ment of the United States, sufficient
to fix upon the commander Of the
submarine which fired the torpedo the
responsibility for having wilfully vio-
lated the recognized law Of nations
and entirely disregarded those hu.
name principles which every belliger-
ent should observe in the conduct of
war at sea-
stances, the government OF the United
States feels justified in holding that
the details Of the sinking Of the An
coma, the weight and character OF the
additional testimony corro5orating the
admiralty's report and the number OF
Americans killed or injured are In no
way essential matters OF discussion.
1.-THE culpability of the commander
Is in any case established and the
undisputed fact is that the citizens OF
the United States were killed, injured
or put in jeopardy by this lawless act.
"The rules Of international law and
the principles Of humanity which
were thus wilfully violated by the
commander of the submarine have
been so long and so universally rec.
ognized and are so manifest from the
standpoint Of right and Justice that
the government Of the United States
does not feel called upon to debate
them and does not understand that
the imperial and royal government
questions or disputes them.
"The government of the United
States therefore finds no other
course open to it but to hold the i'm
perial and royal government respon'
sible for the act of its naval com.
mander and to renew the definite but
respectful demands made in its COM
munication of the 9Th Of December.
1915. 1t sincerely hopes that the fore.
going statemen. Of its position will
enable the imperial and royal govern.
ment to perceive the Justice OF those
demands and to comply with them IN
the same spirit Of frankness and with
tho same concern for the good rela,
tions now existing between the United
States and Austria Hungary which
prompted the government Of the
United States to make them.
