To Post Forfeits Today.

New York. Dec. cS.-Representatives oi
Frank Moran. Jim Coffey and Madison
Square Garden will meet today. Each
will post 500 as a guarantee to carry
out the contract for a return match be-
tween the two heavy-weights in the
Garden arena on Friday. January !.
Coffey returned to Croton Lake imme-
diately after his quick knockout of Gun
boat Smith. The Grips. fresh airs of the
Catskill worked wonders with the big
1rishman before that battle. and he will
remain there until he comes to New
York again to box Moran.
Moran and his retinue have been at
Dal Hawkins training quarters. in the
Bronx, for the last week. His daily
routine includes boxing with Bill Shanks.
Jack Kemple and Willie Lewis.
Although Moran planted a winning right
flush on Coffey's chin in their last bat
tie, he has not forgotten the lacinG Cof-
fey gave him earlier in the bout. and
when they come together again re will
be as mt as strict training can make
him.

GROUSE IS IN DEMAND
AS BASEBALL PLAYER

Pittsburgh. Dec. es.-Few fight fans
know that Buck Grouse. the local entry
for the pugilistic middle-weight title. Is
in demand by many semi-professional
clubs as a baseball player. Grouse. whose
first name Is Albert. has fought more
than a hundred battles within the rosined
ring with many Of the best middle
weights in the country. but he has played
many times that number of ball games.
While he Is not ready for the big leagues
as yet. 1t is reported that several minor
league scouts have given him the once
over. and will be ready to grab him with
little more seasoning.
Jimmy Grouse. brother of the versatile
Albert. claims the worlds title as a one
legged boxer. He is also a cyclist. roller
skater. and a better all-round athlete
than many youths his age who have the
normal number OF legs.
While Buck Grouse is an earnest ball
player. he rarely loses his temper. and
umpires have never had to suffer from an
exhibition OF his ring ability when they
have missed a ball or strike.

HiNKEY WILLING TO
HELP OUT AT YALE

New Haven. Conn. Dec. 2S-Despite
the criticisms that have been Ieveled at
Frank Hinkey. Yale's football head coach
for the last two seasons. and the rumors
circulated that. although his contract
with the Yale football authorities had
another year to run. he probably would
resign to make way for his successor
Coach Hinkey. in an interview yester-
day. indicated that he was ready to come
back and assist in developing next years
team II the Yale authorities desired his
aid.
Coach Hinkey denied that he had left
the city as soon as the football season
closed. as WAS rumored. and stated that
he should remain right here I'm New
Haven for the present at least When
asked to comment on the Yale football
situation he refused to lay the blame
for the failure OF the team this year at
any ones door. 1t was evident. however.
that Hinkey seemed to doubt that he
could ever be rightly considered as at
the head Of the football situation. indi-
eating that he was subject to the will
of those higher up.

MANY RELAY RACES
FOR COLLEGE MEET

New York. Dec. 2s.-Plans for the sec
ond annual indoor meet of the Intercol-
legiate Association of Amateur Athletes
of America, to be held in Madison Square
Garden on March 4 were announced yes
terday by Romeyn Berry. manager OF the
meeting.
Twelve events win make up the card.
with relay races predominating. Profit
ing by the experience Of the first meet.
the association has abandoned many Of
the short-distance races and has substf.
tuted therefor contests OF greater
length. Furthermore, the track will
measure ten laps to the mile. In the
1915 meet it was twelve laps to the mile.
The increase in size will cut down to q
marked extent the sharpness of the cor
ners. and none of the skidding that MARI
ed the 1916 meet Is expected.
There will be five relay races, a team
race of two and four-tenths miles. a 75-
yard dash and a 75-yard' high hurdles
race In the list Of track events. The
field events will be the shot put. pole
vault, high jump and broad jump.

WRENN TO QUIT TENNIS.
Says lie viii Quit ms Pr-sident OF
Association at Close of Term.

New York. Dec. 2S.-Robert d. Wrenn.
president Of the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association, announced yes
terday that he would retire as an az
tive force in the affairs OF lawn tennis
when his present term of office expires.
This was the first official confirmation
of rumor that has been current in lawn
tennis circles for two months, and 1t will
be heard with regret by those who have
the interests of the sport at heart.
II would seem as If George 7. Adee or
Julian S. Myrick, president of the West
Side Tennis Club. would be his logical
successor, but, of course, nothing definite
along these lines can be more than sus-
sested at this time. as this is work for
the nominating committee to do.
Bob Wrenn has been president of the
United States National Lawn Tennis AS
sociation for several years. and before
assuming office was one of the most PROM
inent players In the country. having held
the national championship OH four differ
ent occasions-in 1898. 1894. 1896. and 1897.

ALEXANDER'S ARM IS BAD.
Forced to Quit Western Trip TO Rest

Philadelphia. Dec. S.-From the West
comes the report that Grover Cleveland
Alexander. the Phillies' great pitcher, Is
having trouble with his arm and that II
may not be In the best Of shape next sea-
son.
Alex says his trouble dates from Labor
Day. the date on which Killifer was in
jured In Brooklyn. Alex says he strained
his side that day. and although he fin
ished the season in good style. his arm
bothered him a little. He felt II most in
the World Series games when he was
defeated on the second start with Boston.
Alex had agreed to start West with the
star teams of the National and American
Leagues. on a post-season tour. but he
was In such poor shape that he was
forced to oAIit. Alex hopes that the long
winter rest will bring his arm around
again.

Philadelphia. Pa. Dec. 2s.-Unofficial
figures showing the attendance at maio
league baseball games. excluding the
world series. show that 6.2l9, 40 fans

Braves this past season the team Is to
he improved. and Messrs. Gaffney and
Stallings are in the market for players.
The Infield' hardly needs to be toned up,
but there Is room for improvement in

the Braves will spare no expense to bring
another pennant-winning aggregation to
the Hub.
In numbers alone the Braves appear
to be well fixed for outfielders. but In
quality and talent the Stallings tribe
is in bad way. II most of the pres
ent lot of outfielders can hit they can't

their weight. Sherwood Magee doesn't
come under either classification. but he's
