Little Bonnie Murphy, who does the

abb for Soldier Bartfield that is quaint,
TO say the least. Listen to D.:
Soldier Bartfeld suffered his first
defeat in two years, when he lost the
decision to Mike Glover, but Bsrtfield
is entitled to lot Of consideration, for
few boxers would have fought, having
the same conditions to contend with,
that he did.
81 left New York with BartAeld on
Monday night at i1:25. Our train was
snowbound, and we did not arrive in
Boston until o'clock on Tuesday night,
just one-half an hour before entering
the ring, The train was cold, and we
could procure no food. Bartfeld had
had no food since Monday at
p. m. Still, he entered the ring under
these conditions rather than dissppoint
the fans and the club"
"All that he asks is another fight

equal"

AL REICH WINS

Al Reich at the Pioneer Sporting Club

after the third round had gone min
ute 70 save McCloskey the humiliation
Of being thrown down himself.
Mac was OF the verge of Knockout,
but appeared 70 be the only man in the
Amsterdam Opera House who didn't
know it. He seemed TO be working on a
little example in mental arithmetic.
Mac looked FOR all the world like a man
who was keeping count of the number

queens taste, but Joseph stood up with
all the nonchalance of cigar store In
dian. He might have discouraged AL a
bit had he been allowed TO continue, for
he had an uncanny way of coming TO
life with terrific righthanders when
least expected.
1t wasn't q strawberry festival for
AL By long shot. McClosky gave him
as good as he sent while 1t lasted. In
deed, at one time he had Al founder
ing like a seal in a rowboat. The
Adonis made little use OF his left
against the much smaller man. He
kept his right poised for the asbestos
punch throughout McClosky was
twenty-six pounds lighter and almost
yard shorter. Hi, Russian pompa-
dour was the only thing about him
that measured up. But he could hit
Al will testify 10 that.
He sent the big Adonis spinning in
the first round after he had been do
ing a little top act himself. Reich
caught him with a right flush on the
jaw, completed a full waltz turn be-
fore he brought up with a reverse in
time to nick Al on the chin with a
right in return. Al looked absshed
and tried to cover uD his discontinue
By spreading a smile over his face
that wasn't bit on the dead level
It might have gone badly with him
had not the bell tinkled Just at that
moment.
Al did better In the second for a
while. He dropped McClosky TO all
fours with q right pop to the jaw. That
was nothing In Macs life, however. for
he righted himself and promptly
whacked Al In the midrift with ter
rife Highlander. Al took to the back
trail again. He let the little man whale
away at him without an attempt at
countering. The crowd was up and
cheering McClosky to the echo. He
had mono the worst Of the second
round. Al came out for the third pre-
pared to end matters. He never let up
with his right until Haley stepped be-
tween them.

JIMMY CALLAHAN
TOLEAD PIRATES
Named to Succeed Fred
Clarke as Manager of
Pittsburgh Team.

Pittsburgh, Dee. 1e.-Barney Drey-
fuss announced tonight that James j.
Callahan, former manager Of the Chi
oago White Sox, has been appointed
manager Of the Pittsburgh club Of the
National League TO succeed Fred
Clarke, who resigned at the end of the
last pennant race.
The announcement came as. com
plete surprise, as Csllahan's name had
at no time been mentioned In connec-
ton with the Job. It is understood the
new manager signed a contract for only
one year. Callahan managed the Chi
cago White Sox for three years, being
succeeded last season by Clarence
Rowland.
Mr.. Dreyfuss let. tonight for New
York, where he will make q report to-
morrow to he National League owners
on his rec, 1t trip to Chicago, where he
presented the plan for peace between
the two major and the Federal leagues
to American League leaders and OBJ
tanned their Endorsement.
He refused to discuss details Of the
plan, declaring Everything will come
out later, and It will be seen then that
organized baseball i,.de no mistake,
but gained the points fst which it has
been battling"
Los Angeles, Dec. 1.-the announce
ment that James J. Callahan had been
chosen manager 81 tn, Pittsburghs sur.
prised baseball men here, who had
supposed that Callahan would take
charge Of the Los Angeles Pacific Coast
League team in 1916, as successor 70
Frank Dillon.
John Powers, president OF the Lo,
Angeles club, said he had released Cal
lahan so that he might accept the
Pittsburgh position.
Callahan was reported to have pur-
chased an interest in the Los Angelo,
club, but what disposition Is now TO be
made Of this stock was matter OF
speculation tonight.

the answer. without tbs developing
ground the major leagues cannot exist.
The Feds wrecked the developing
ground. and the major leagues were
Forced to quit. Call 1t compromise, II
YOU wlsh. Gall by any other name
would taste as bitter. Defeat by any
other name Is still defeat.
Certain National League men have
strut.ed about the corridors OF the
Waldorf endesvoring to convey the i'm
preston that the Federal League made
all tho advances. Wrong again. The
Federal League made no advances. AS
early as last summer James +. Carney
and others in the National League ex-
tended the right hand of fellowship 70
the Federal League owners and we're
willing TO effect O compromise. These
men realized that under the chaotic
conditions baseball could not live.
Right now the National League own
ers are endeavoring to learn from
Harry r. Sinclair his terms for peace.
His pocketbook Is the axis on which
the Federal League revolves. He made
the significant remark yesterday after
noon that he would have TO be paid in
full before he would agree to anything.
q share Of stock in the Giants" we
asked him.
He smiled and saidi 81 never buy a
share Of anything. | buy controlling
interest, and that goes for the Giants
Cubs, or al Oklahoma oil well. II
peace is declared will demand war
indemnity. l relish fight, you know,
and l am willing to spend my money
TO enjoy myself"
Mr.. Sinclair's ultimatum on the car
ing for Federal League players Will
meet with some opposition. Charles
II. Ebbsts, chief owner Of the Brook
lyn Superbas, said that he would not
allow any Of the men who deserted his
ball club TO come back. 81 can't forget
the treatment we received from Joe
Tinker. Jack Dalton, Bill Fischer and
Elmer Knetzer. None Of these players
will ever wear Brooklyn uniform II
can help IT,"
Jim McCafrey, owner of the Toronto
club, WAS more emphatic than Ebbets
"The talk Is now about caring for the
| Federal League men. The question
that interests me Is What about the
boys who remained faithful to organ
/ ized baseball ! know this, that II il
comes to a question Of my club en-
| ploying contract jumper, or playing
O man who is not quite so good, but
who is still servlceable and remained
loyal, will play the loyal men every

men In my league are united IN this

SOME SHOTS OFF
THE FIRST TEE

As all illustration Of the popularity
of golf q project is under way near
Chicago for the organization Of the
Olympia Fields Country Club, with no
fewer than five courses in the plan.
William c. Freeman was pretty ambi-
tious with four, but perhaps Chicago
preferred to go New York one better.
About 700 acres of land will be needed
for the Chicago idea. But the wild and
woody West has lots of room.
A. S. Armagnac happens TO be doubly
a president. lie Is the chief executive
of the Upper Montclair Country Club,
made famous by Jerry Travers, and OF
The Eastern District Trade Golf Asso-
citation. Playing a dual role does not
appeal to Armagnsc, so he plans to
retire from all but the actual playing
Of the game when 1916 is written down.
Being president twice prevents real
golf is his opinion.
Philadelphia golfer. evidently be-
lieve implicitly in Christmas. for plans
are under way for huge feed for cad
dies at the Old York Road and the
Huntingdon Valley country clubs and
the Merton Cricket Club. Altruism ap-
parently goes a long way in the City Of
Brothcrly Love.
Earle Hooker Eaton, Of Upper Mont
clair, is of the opinion that golf is be-
coming entirely too swift. Within the
last few months Eaton has been one
Of the few to materially improve his
game. "But what's the USE he said
disconsolately, when the blamed game
keeps improving so fast that q fellow
can't keep up with Il? improve my
golf half a dozen strokes, and the Up
per Montclair club Immediately makes
its course half dozen strokes harder.
It's treason, that's what II is"
