 CROP OF ATHLETES

Rev. Peter A Oates, S. J., profess or of theology in Holy Cross college, was in town today on his way back to hhe university, from Westport, where he celebrated the funeral mass over the remains of his brother Greg ory, on Thursday.
 Father Oabes stopped in this city to perfornn a Httle business pertaining to the work of Holy Cross alumni He is an ardent follower of athletics, be- ing a foruner schoe1malte of Bill Car rfsan, now, manager of the Red Sox. Father Oates attended Holy Cross in the days Of Carrigan, Hoey, Socka- lexds, Powers and Rev. William Fox of Derby, who once turned down an playing with New London in the Con- nectdcart league, in order to continue his studies for the priesthood.
 Father Oates says that the coming year will be a. banner year for Holy Cross athletics He says they have
 a wonder in young GGdfffn who short stopped and captained the Hartford high school teaLn last season. He a1- iSo says Jack Barry of the Athletics is the best sElortstop the university has ever turned out. Holy Cross has at present, the larg- est registration in the history of the college She now has enrolled 500 stu- dents.

HEINIE WAGNER WILL
 BE KEPT IN BOSTON
 TO COACH YOUNGSTERS

Boston, Jan. 7:-Presddent Lannin of the Red Sox comes out with the statement for good and all that TIeinie Wagner will not go to Providence as manager, but will be retained, even if he cannot play, in the role Of assist ant to Bill Cardigan, and a coach for the indelders- Manager Carrigan, who plays a large share of the scheduled games. ds really in need of n assist ant who can watch developments from the bench "
 Furthermore, especially during the spring training, and in the earlier part of the regular season, Manager Bill will want to devote all his time to the batteries, while his pal Heinie can coach the inf1elders and regular play CTS.
 There is always a chance that Wagners arm will come around al- most as good as. it ever was, Bill ex- plains. Down at nay camp at the end of the season he worked out in the warm sun for half an hour every day, and he threw that ball around to all parts of the infeId with some thing that reminded one of his old time whip. believe that he will come back this spring, and if he does we won't have to do much worrying about our infield."
 If any Boston player is to be sent to New York it will probably be Rehg. This is the youngster that the High flanders asked for and MT. Lannin will Iingly consented to allow the New York club to take him. There is a chance. of course, that the Highland CTS may not want him after all.
 Manager Carrigan believes that the reason that President Navin is willing to allow such promising players as Ptpp and High to get away is because the American league is liable to de- eide to reduce the playing limit to g men, and in this case the Tigers would have to unload. High is a. splendid outfelder and a, good hard hitter, but the Tigers already have Cobb, Craw- ford and Veach, all 1eft-handed hit- ters, with hard-hdtting right-hander like Hel1man as alternate.

FEDS PAID
 S5O,OOO IN
 ADVANCE PAY

Chicago, Jan. 7.-C1ub owners of the Federal league have paid out $5O,0OO in 1915 salary advances to major and minor league stars who deserted or ganized baseball for the F'ederals, ac- cording to a, statement today by Jas A. Gilmore, president of the Federal organization. Protection of this money he said, is one of the objects of the leagnue's suit filed against organized baseball, charging it with operation in violation of the Sherman antitrust law.
 .'The league proposes to fight to a finish to protect this Investment GIL more said s'In the event of a. repeti- tfon of legal controversies whtch inn paired the 1914 season, when litigation caused several of our star players to sit idle on the bench all season, Gh1S money will be tied up. in a knot that will take months ito disentangle."
 The Federal league executive cited the cases of Hal Chase who deserted the Chicago Amricans for the Buffalo Federals; Johnson who. jumped to the Kansas City Federals from %he Cin- cinnati club of the National league; Armando Marsans, who also quit the Cincinnati club for the St. Louis Fed erals and the cases of players who have joined the ranks of the Feder7als
 since the close of the 1914 season.s
 All of rthe1n Gilmore said, have re- ceived advance money on their 1915 seasons Pitcher Walter Johnson heads the list with $6,000 and others have paid sums ranging from -$1, GOO to S3 600.

OF AL KAUFMAN AND GEORGE GREEN,
 FAMOUS FIGHTERS

This is the birthday of two of the many famous fighting Native Sons who have so long kept California in the pugilistic hmelight--Al Kaufman .Young Corbett." Kaufman was born in San Francisco twenty nine years ago., and Green debutted into ehe same city forty-three years ago. The latter held for short time a precarious footing on the topmost rung of the welterweight ladder, al though some authorities do not list him as among the champions of that division Kaufman was at one time the most promising of the white heavies, and Bill Brady and other good judges of fighting material pre- dicted, that he was headed straight for the championship Poor old Al stubbed his toe and fell down, how
 ever, and a, few months ago. he an nounced his final and forever" re- tirement from the ring after having been knocked out in exactly fifteen seconds by Tom McMahon, the Pitts burgh ttBearcat" Al was rushed too fast when he was only a, kid, and as a result, although he is only twenty
 nine and ought to be in his fighting prime, he is all through.
 Kaufman is of German-America stock. six feet and an inch in height, weighs over 200 pounds, and with proper development ought to have
 made a champion. He was eighteen when he began his ring career by knocking out Jack Walsh in the first round at San Francisco. He had won five bouts, all by knockouts, when he was matched with the vet eran Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. For seventeen rounds al fought gameIy
 but the clever PhiladeIphian slowly wore him down and in the seven teenth ended AIS misery with a knockout. If Al had never been matched with O'Brten at that stage
 of the game his whole future career
 might have been different. The next year he knocked out Dave Barry and George Gardner in Los Angeles, and in 1907 he defeated Mike Twin) Sullivan and put away Mike Schreck and Dave Barry. In 1908 he knocked
 out Jim Flynn and Jim Barry, the latter in the 39th round, at Vernon,
 and stopped several other good men. Pretty soon he began to go back, and l since 1911 he has been knocked out
