BRESNAHAN FOR BOSTON.

If Bill Carrigan cannot be persuad-
ed to emerge from his retirement and
manage the Boston Red Sox next
season it is said Roger Bresnahan may
get the position. Carrigan has asked
such an enormous sum for his SER
vices that F'razee and Ward, the new
Red Sox owners, are afraid they can't
meet his terms.
Although Bresnahan is part owner
of the Toledo club Of the American
association it is reported that he
would be willing to break away if he
could get another chance as a major
league manager. Brespahan feels he
was badly treated when be was de-
posed as manager of the Cubs to make
way for Joe Tinker last winter and
he wants another opportunity. If the
new Boston owners fail to induce Car
rigan to return they will increase
their unpopularity with the Boston
fans, who are already sore because q
secretary from another city has beer
hired.

MAY HAVE DARCY
MEET BILLY MISKE
IN NEW YORK RING

New York, Dec 22-It is possible
ness a 10-round bout between Les
Darcy, the Australian middleweight,
and Billy Miskel Of St. Paul. Tex
Richard, the Western promoter, who
is at present negotiating for a To-
rounS bout in which the principals
will be chosen from Jess Willard
worlds heavyweight champion;
Georges Carpenter, champion of
Europe, and Les Darcy, yesterday in
timated that such a match would be
staged if satisfactory terms could be
entered into by the parties concerned.
"Miske's showing against Jack
Dillon the other night impressed me
favorably," said Richard last night,
"and if an emergency arose where l
found it hard to get a suitable OPP
ponent FOR either Carpenter or Darcy
I would not hesitate in negotiating
with Miske for a match with either
man. Darcy will arrive in this coun-
try shortly and I think that he and
Miske would make an attractive
match
Richard also said that he had pos
tive information as regards the
present whereabouts of the Austria
liam boxer, and added that he would
announce something definite in this
respect in the course of few days.
When asked about the negotiations
for lease of Madison Square Garden
Richard said that there were no new

DARCY is ON BOAT

New York, Dec. 22.-It was learned
late last night that Les Darcy, the
Australian boxer, is aboard the Oil
tank steamer Gushing. The Cushing
is due to reach Bayonne, N. j., today.
Rough seas, however, may delay her
arrival. The Cushing left Chile three
weeks ago. Darcy shipped as a fire

in New York was acquainted with
every detail Of the matter. That was

Richard promoted the Wfllard-Moran
bout last April. He now has designs
upon bouts between Darcy and Will
lard, Darcy and Carpenter, the
French boxer, and Willard and Car

They arranged for Darcy's transporta-
ton and are also believed to have
paved the way for his admittance to
this country without meeting the reg

WOULD LET PENN
AND ALL-AMERICAN
TEAM PLAY IN 1917

Philadelphia, Dec. 22-Bob Fol-
we'll, head coach Of the University of
Pennsylvania football team, announc-
ed through the athletic association
yesterday scheme to bring together
the Pennsylvania eleven and the ALL
America eleven selected l1ext fall by
a congress of sporting editors and
writer's Of New York, Philadelphia
and Boston.
Folwell's plan is to have this ALI
America team gather at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania and spend a
week in practice for their battle with
the Pennsylvania. varsity eleven. And
FolweI would she to it that the
players would get more than glory
for their pains, for he would have
gold watch fobs struck off, each one
bearing the colors of the college OF
the player, together with his name
age, height and weight.
One of the details of the plans
calls for the construction of a sta
dunn which will scat 100000. and
last but not least the gate receipts
will be split, with Pennsylvania get
ting SO per cent. of the gross and the
remainder being divided among the
colleges represented. The only flaw
in the whole scheme is that Bob has
made no provision for any Pennsyl.

GOLFERS IN NEW
YORK FOR OuIMET

New York, Dec 22.-It is almost a
certainty that the golf clubs in the
metropolitan district will favor Ouimet
when it comes to vote at the annual
meeting in January. A majority Of
them at least want to see his amateur
standing restored, and will come pre-
pared to stand by him to the end.
Many of the delegates have ex-
pressed themselves in this way. A
prominent golfer said yesterday that
he expected little trouble over the
matter, and was confident. that the
clubs throughout the country would
follow the New York lead.
! Howard F. Whitney, secretary of
the U. S. G. A, said he was sure the
association would be more than will
ling to back UP the individual clubs
| in supporting Ouimet, but felt that
under the present amateur rule they
could do nothing more than take up
his case along with others who are
| barred. Until the rule is changed, he
said, the executive committees hands
are tied.

fighting in his native city in 1905 His
REPUTATION has been clouded of late
because of the charges made in Aus
tralia that he was guilty Of taking In
bout with Dave Smith, pulled off in
Sydney last August. Grouse went to
Australia with several other American
boxers early this year, and was
matched to fight Les Darcy. He fell
an easy prey to the great Australian
middleweight, but later redeemed
himsef by the class he displayed in a
bout With another / australian star
Mick King. Then he fought Dave
Smith, and was knocked out in the
fourth round The affair is said to
have looked suspicious, and Snowy
Baker started an inquiry.
According to the Sydney papers
Grouse finally confessed that he had
faxed, and Baker gave him a hundred
dollars and told him to beat 1t and
never show his face in Australia
again. According to the account given

GRENADA SMASHES /
COLLARBONE;;H AS TO
QUIT SIX DAY RACE.

/ New York, Dec. 22-Two spills were
all that prevented Oscar Egg Of Swe-
den and Marcel Dupuy, the French
man, from gaining a lap on the field
in the six-day cycle race at Madison
Square Garden last night. AS the
result of the spill, which was the
worst so far ,of the race, Tommy Bello
and Ernest Ohrt and Tommy Smith
and Joe Kopsky Of New York lost an
other lap ,and Alfred Grenda broke
his collarbone. He retired from the
race.
The sprint came right after the
ninth heat was decided. After each
heat the riders generally settled down
to a slow grind. AS they did, Dupuy
cut loose and was soon far out in
front. Then Egg took his place and
gained about twenty more yards on
his rivals. Then Dupuy relieved him
and was not far from the rest of the
crowd, when one of the, riders hit
Madden's wheel on the Fourth avenu
side Of the track.
The Newark rider hit the bottom
of the track with a thud.
On the other side of the track Gren-
da's tire became detached and he
went flying over the handle bars of his
wheel It was announced that Gren-

in the race. Goullet has four hours

M'GRAW EXPECTS
SHAFER TO COME
BACK TO BASEBALL

New York, Dec. 22-Every day that
passes without developing a definite
refusal adds to John McGraw's store
of hope that Arthur Shafer may yet
be persuaded to rejoin the Giants.
Ordinarily a prompt correspondent in
matters Of this sort, ,ne Temperament
tai Californian has permitted more
than a fortnight to drift without re-
plying to McGraw's invitation to re-
sumo his old activities as general
handy man to the New York club, and
this delay is taken as a sign that he
is seriously considering return to
the national pastime.
The widely accepted belief that
Shafer quit the Giants because he
could no longer tolerate the associa-
tons thrust upon him as a member
Of a professional baseball club is bas-
ed upon erroneous grounds. He was
not madly infatuated with the life, it
is true, but he did and does love the
game, was not averse to the promi-
nence and popularity it brought him,
and if the monetary rewards his play
ing showered upon him were distaste-
full to him he succeeded nobly in con-
cealing his anguish at having to &C
cept them. h
It was with life in general, not with
baseball, that Shafer was on bad
terms when he announced his retire
ment as a Giant following the
worlds series of 1918. The fit of
pique that resulted in his withdrawal
from the professional game grew out
of circumstances in no-wise connect
ed with baseball. Grievously disap-
pointed in very personal matter, he
simply wrapped himself in a monu-
mental crouch against all mankind,
severed every connection that bound
him to them thoroughly Objectionable

where he could peeve and fret in

GERMAN AUSTRALIAN
BOXER OF OLD DAYS,
HAD FINE RING RECORD

Paddy Germans death in New York
recently attracted little attention. for
Paddy, in his latter years, was but an,
honest, hard working carpenter. Old
time followers Of the ring will recall
him as a great middleweight boxer,
ranking among the best of those who
came to America from Australia in
the days when the Antipodes turned
out so many good fighting men. Paddy
was generally known as an Australian
and all the brief iobitrary notices in
the New York papers so describe him,
but he was really an 'EnglishEnan.
In his youth he became a fireman
ON steamships, and on trip to AUS
tralia decided to settle there. He be-
came the middleweignt champion of
Australia or perhaps Iit was weller

this side Of the Pacific One Of his
greatest fights in America was with
Young Mitchell in San Francisco,
when he was defeated after a hard
combat. He was credited with having
bested Peter jackson in, saloon
