Moran Is 30 much smaller than Will
lard that 1t Is decidedly questionable
whether he can lay a glove on the
champion. His two victories over Jim
Coffey. a weak-jawed chap. does not
give a good limo on Morans real abil-
ity. and undoubtedly he will find Will
lard a different proposition from any
fighter he has met.
True. Willard's best fight was his
victory over Jack Johnson. It was the
fact that the colored champion pound
ed Willard for about twelve rounds
without doing any damage. and that
Willard then finished him in the clos
ing rounds that created a good i'm
preston with those who saw that bat
tie.
Two years ago the Boston Red Sox
released Steve Yerkes. that teams Sec
Federal League, playing the same po-
sition for the Pittfeds. Both major
leagues had waived on Yerkes before
Boston could release him, and no one
thought that he was a good enough
player at that time to give him an
other chance.
Ever since Joe Tinker took charge
Of the mergered Whales-Cub team he
has declared himself as wanting
Yerkes for his second base position.
and accord1ng TO adV1ceS from chicago
Owner weeghman has purchased
Yerkes for $500. quite a price for a
veteran who two years ago was turned
down by all the major league clubs.
Tinker, Of course. has seen Yerkes in
many games during the Feds two
campaigns. and he undoubtedly figures
him a competent ball player, but Tin
ker may find before the season Is very
old that playing in the Federal League
and in one of the majors is quite diff
ferent proposition.
E. W. Gwinner, the Pitfed magnate,
who was mentioned as proba BILE pur-
chaser of the Cleveland club. has an
nounced that he does not intend to
make an effort to get the Indians and
he insists that he is out of base ball for
good.
This means that the Pitfed players
are for sale. Gwinner already has sold
Yerkes and he has one or two others
who are on the market.
The dropping out of the game of
Gwinner probably means that the Chi
cago White Sox will obtain the serv-

Moran and Cofey,

Is coffee injurious to athletes? Yes, is
the claim; but Mr.. Frank Moran Of Pitts
burgh, aspirant for the heavyweight
crown, has discovered a new and HARM
less kinda pure Irish Coffey. And,
happily. 1t is not black" Coffey.
He unhestitatinsly recommends this
Corey to heavyweight aspirants; but
cautions that the cocoa" Of Cofrey
should be punched vigorously. II found
too strong. BY SO doing a strong Irish
Cofrey becomes weak and harmless-but
hard to "stir."
Mr.. Moran demonstrated this and the
referee yelled, Out At first, this
statement puzzled him; as he could not
see on what grounds Coffey could be
called out" when II was plainly to be
seen that Coffey was ''all in"
The successful demonstration lasted
but a few minutes. and seems to have
inspired quite q lot Of confidence in Mr.
Moran-in fact he IL now confident that
he will dispose of the champion, Jess,
as quickly as he did Coffey. Yes, and
seems perfectly Frank about It. too!

Sam McCracken, a circus man and q
personal friend of Rickard, Is named
in the article as the promoter.
Neither Willard nor Moran has yet
signed articles of agreement, although
both have signified their willingness to
accept the terms offered by Rickard
through McCracken. According to the
contract, Willard is to receive $4,000
and 81 per cent of the receipts of any
moving pictures taken. Moran Is Of
fered $4,000. Willard also is to re-
ceive bonus Of $1,000 for signing the
contract. Moran's share of the pic
ture receipts and bonus, if any, is not
stated.
The articles of agreement are on their
way to Chicago for Willard's approval
The promoters say they have received
word from Tom Jones, the champions
manager, that the terms are satisfac-
ed as soon as they are placed before
Willard.
After Willard signs, Moran's sigma
ture will be obtained.
AS Gov. Whitman has prohibited box
ing in armories. the only building In
New York large enough for a big bout
is Madison Square Garden. James john
ston, the manager of boxing at the gar
den, said Rickard and McCracken
could not rent the building. If they
succeeded in signing Willard and
Moran Rickard admitted that no
building had been rented for the con-
test.
Chairman Fred A. Wenck Of the box
ing commission, said he had no official
knowledge of a ten-rornd bout between
Willard and Moran, although he under
stood NEGOTIATIONS were under way.
He explained that II Rickard or Nc,

would comply with all the require
ments of the state athletic commission

RACING IN GERMANY.
Sport to Be More Extensive Next
Season Than in 1915,

NEW YORK. January 13.-In a recent
issue the Breslauer ZeitunS discussed
the prospects for racing in the German
empire this year. a translation of the
article being as follows:
while in times Of peace a delegates'
meeting Of the German racing societies
is held in connection with the last rae
ing day Of the season to arrange a pro-
gram for the following years racing.
nothing has hitherto transpired-in
contrast to the state OF affairs in Aus
ria-Hungary-with regard to German
racing in 1915. The technical commits
sion Of the Union Club has desisted
from calling a meeting of the delegates
because no wish for such has been ex-
pressed, and. further. because many
Of the societies are no longer in a posi-
tion to send substitutes for their rep
who are at present in the
field.
for hope that German racing next year
will, In any case. be carried on on more
extensive lines than the war races Of
the present year. On this account the
from publishing its fixtures. since it is
not at present settled which societies
in the empire will be in a position to
hold meetings In 1916.
"In this respect the position with US
is very different from that in Austria
Hungary, where only four big racing
societies have to be taken into account
whereas we have over a hundred. The
Union Club itself contemplates arrang-
ing not only racing at the Hoppegar-
ten. but probably also. as requests for
entries to the Silver Shield and Ger
man st. Leger are already out, meet
ings at the Grunenwaldbahn, through
the Berlin Racing Society,"
"A similar state of affairs prevails
in regard to hurdle racing. The society
for hurdle racing has in view the re-
sumption of the sport at Karlshorst,
to which would be added the hurdle
races at Grunenwaldbahn. Most prob
ably an earlier start will be made than
this year. when the resumption was
made at the end of May"

Ices of Ed Konetchy the big nrst base
man who jumped the Pirates to go
with the Feds last season. 1t is hinted
in Chicago that Rowland would like to
get Konetchy. despite the fact that
Comiskey announced some time ago
that he would not allow a Federal
League player on his team.
Just why Rowland does not do busi-
ness with Grifiith and obtain Chic Gan
dill. a much better first baseman than
Konetchy, who is said to have gone
back perceptibly, is not clear. though
Griffith seems to have convinced Row
land that he wants a good ball player
in exchange for Gandil.
Cozy Dolan, one Of the Cardinals
outf1elders, has been given his uncon-
ditional release by Miller Huggins. The
move apparently was very popular
one, for the ST. Louis papers referred to

that has been printed in many years in
st. Louis. Dolan apparently did not
have many friends among the Mound
city scribes and they are tickled that
he has been sent on his way.
farm out in Los Angeles. Three of the
recruits whom Bresnahan was giving a
trial have been shipped to Los An
geles. They are Fisher. McLarry and
Schorr. who were all considered by
Bresnahan as being very promising.
1t is claimed that Sinclair will not be
allowed to name the teams to which
the various Feds who have ironclad
contracts shall go. The assertion is
made that there is special clause In
the peace agreement governing this
matter. This allows a Federal League
owner. like Ball or Weeghman, to re-
tain all of his 1915 players, and all
those that he desires who are on the
reserve list OF the o. B. club that he
has purchased.
Apart from these. the clubs that do
not figure in the consolidation have
precedence in bidding for the talent
that is left homeless. Under these
conditions Sinclair. II he should buy
into the Giants. would have his entire
Newark aggregation to choose players
from. but none else. This claim is
directly contrary to the general under
standing and to the statement of
President Gilmore of the Feds, who is
member of the peace committee The
whole thing is being made such a mud
die. through conflicting statements to
public that has a right to know what
is going on. that no one can blame Ed
Barrow for declaring himself out

SAME OLD "MAC."
McGraw a Good Fighter in War
With Federals.

CHICAGO. January 13.-John McGraw
and Hugh Jennings were two disgusted
individuals at the big confab in New
York. over the way tho organised ball
magnates and the Feds talked peace
and over the way they had fought. A
mighty poor bunch OF fighters and the
game fallen upon degenerate days. was
their verdict. There isn't q two-hand-
ed fighter in the whole BUNCH" said
McGraw. ''I know something about
base ball wars myself and can tell
when a fellow is ready for the count.
The Feds were staggering and they
helped them to their feet. I went after
them the right way when 1 got Benny
Kauff, and the best I got for it was
bawling out. A few moves like that
and there wouldn't have been any Feds

American Association Magnates Fa.

CHICAGO. January 13.-With peace

the American Association magnates are
wondering il they didn't cut too deep
when they adopted a salary limit of
$500 for next season. and already
there are suggestions for raising it
to $4,000. However. there will be no
more recklessness like that Of the
past few years. It Is said that at one
time in the 1915 season the Louisville
pay roll was running $500 q month.
