Although DIR. Burdick has not yet
made up his mind as TO whether or not
he will leave Baltimore It is thought
unlikely that he will go,and Mrs. Bur

which gives the impression that he is
not particularly enthusiastic over the
proposition that he take up athletic
and school work in Boston.
Or. Burdick left Baltimore last Fri
day, and has since been I'm Boston in

ed in charge of all the medical and
athletic work in the public schools
there and will have under him thirty.
five school nurses and from thirty to
forty submasters. who will ASST { him
in directing school athletics. Il will
be his duty TO make medical inspect
ions of the children, superintend the
fifty after-school Fairgrounds, direct
the physical education in the schools
and arrange all after-school athletic
work. There are 100000 children over
whom he would have charge.
The invitation to go to Boston was
sent DR.. Burdick by superintendent
Dyer. of the Boston public schools,
who went to that city from Cincinnati.
He is considered one of the most pro-
gressiye superintendents in the United
States, and DR.. Burdick's friends re-
gard ii as a compliment that he was
asked to take position under Super
intendent Dyer.
/ DIR. Burdick has made deep i'm
preston in Baltimore city during the

has advanced decidedly and he has
greatly enlarged its activities For
the last two years he has been direc-
tor of The Evening Sun Schoolboy

counties in the State The series of
meets wound up with the State Olym-
piad at Homewocd on June II, when

CAN'T AGREE ON PLAYERS
 IN BIC DEAL

New York. Jan. 1S-The Boston play CTS who are to go to Philadelphia. in the Sherwood AHagee deal are still 1in- decided. Presidents Gaffney and Bs- a1ers were to come ho a decision yester- day, but failed to announce any names, though Ganney said: We have come to a. I1alf agreement regard ing the players"
 This, perhaps, means that Tom Hughes, the pitcher. has become rec onciIed to his fate. In the meantime, Whitted may also change his mind If .he goes to the Philhes, he wants $3, 900 extra to match the Worlds .Se- ries money he knows he could win if he stuck with the Braves, but he may compromise.
 The PhilIies could have taken Oscar Dugey, substitute infieIder on the Braves last season, but as he only hit .193 in 58 games last season Pat Moran is not very strong for him.
 Gaffney said the Pittsburgh story that the Pirates would try to buy Joe Connolly was absurd, and he a.lso~de- nied that Charlie Deal had Jumped. to the Feds

 IN BROOKL TN


 Palestine, Tex.s Jan. 19-Jack Coombs, former star pitcher of the Philadelphia Athletics and Worlds Series hero of 1910 aud 1911, an nounced here yesterday that he had signed a contract with the Brooklyn Nationals. nie Mack recently released him un- League waived on him. Coonbsi was went through great deal of illness in the last two years and his present ability is uncertain.
 Coombs, however. feels certain that he Still retains his former cunning, and says he expects to regain his best form next season. He feels conUinc- ed that he has recovered his former strength and that he will again rise to front rank among the leading pitchers in the major leagues
 John Wesley (Jack) Coombs, form CT great Iron Man of the Athletic pitching stan, was born in Le Grande, Iowa, on November Is, 1883, but at an early age his parents moved to Kennebunkport, Me. where Jack has @ large farm.

GALLANT IN
 DREAMLAND
 IN 4TH ROUND
Ry WAgner.)

A short, chubby party named Gdbbert Gallant had a merry time bouncing around the ropes last night before he was counted out in the fourth round of his bout with Sammy Robidea.u at the Casino. It looked as if he would never be able to bound back into the ring but he finally did. He was reel ing, however. and Referee Terry Lee refused to let the Boston youth con- tfnue Gallant went to his corner protesting tl1at he was able to go on and his manager made quite 8, roar. It appeared from She ringside as if the referee took the correct course
 The boxers were supposed to travel 15 rounds and nobody thought the end would come so soon Early in the qoat- tie Gallant showed that he carried 8 da1aEeroI1s punch. He landed several on Rdbodeau which rocked Sammy but the Philadelphian refused to banisRn the smile.
 In the first three rounds the boys did a lot of sparring and it was seen that RoIbidead was studying his oppo- neut'S style. Then came the fourth The boxers were mixing it hammer and tongs when suddenly in the midst of a shower of blows Gallant was seen to fall through the ropes
 Robideau went back to his corner thinking Gallant was out but his sec ond shouted to him to go back. For Gallant was attempting to get Up and he did before the count was finished. After "a short clinch, Robideau in his anxiety to put over the knockout blow, swung wildly but finally managed to send Gallant down again. He arose quickly but soon went to the mat
 where he took the count of six. When he reached his feet he received an other Iacing and then went down for tn fourth time. Referee Lee had just counted ten as Gallant managed to crawl from the floor but Gallant was in such condition that there was notan- Ing to do but stop the bout.
 After. the bout the fans were won- dering how Gallant ever beat Leach Cross twice. They conceded that the Boston boy had 8 good walEop but thought his style too open to be efrec- tive.
 In the senad-ffnaI Al KetcheI gave Bud Palmer a bad beating in ten rounds. It was real comeback for Ketchel The local boy never showed such aggressive spirit in the ring. He was after Palmer every minute. If he will continue ito fight in that same way he should have no difficulty in obtain ing matches
 Teddy Fabryck of Fairfield won from Young Boyd of South Nor-wa1lk in the opener of eight rounds Boyd had a. longer reach hrt his blows did no damage. FAbryck inflicted lots of punishment on Boyd
 There was a fair sized crowd in at tendance. The cheap seats were we'll filled but the $2 chairs were only half occupied and many of these in that section got in free After the bouts started, many of those who paid $1 walked into the g section

 .s-Ehe Red Sox have the strongest pitching staff in the league bar none. Our outfleld is also the best. The tn- Held needs strengthening. but it is pretty good as it is. We hit and run bases. Our fielding is satisfactory. thinik the Red Sox may win the pen- naaat, in 1915.
 ssGetting Larry LaJofe has put Con nie Mack dn the race. Bender and Plank were slipping and really not necessary I look for our stiffest com petition from the Athletics.
 If Hughey Jennings plugs up that anfe1d and has more than two pitch hers going good at any one time next BllmnnneE, the Tigers will be clawing up around the top. Detroit Is a fine of fensive team, though inclined to be FVab6ly in the field
 Clark Griffith has a good team, one that takes 3. lot of beating before go- fng4down. If Johnson, Boehling. Shaw and Bentley come through, those GsrdfHnen will give us all battle.
