RUSSIAN GRAPPLER
 HAS NEW DEFENSE

New York. Dec. 6.--An entirely new and novel method of defense was shown in the bout between Zbyszko and zeIesnow, the II Russian, who on Tuesday night stood off Aberg to a draw in a bout limited to 30 minutes haitian Opera House.
 The, Russian went on with Zbyszko in a catch -as-catch-ean bout, and every time the Pole got his opponent on the mat the Russian would curl up into a human ball, with his knees up to his chin, and holding his toes with his hands Zbyszko world then start to hntangle MT. ZeIesnow and sud denly the latter would shoot up like a observation-disclosures and get on his feet.
 The Russian baffled zbyszko for 20 minutes to draw, and was. heartily applauded.
 Doc Roller who returned from Cuba yesterday, reappeared in the tourna- ment. and as soon as he saw a state ment to the effect that he had been thrown twiee in 40 minutes by Mort Henderson, the Masked Marvel the Seattle medic became very much ex- cited
 There is not a word of truth in it.,, said the Doc with fire in his eye s'I wrestIed Mort Henderson in Altoona last November. and while he won the first fall in 40 minutes, T took the sec ond in 20 minutes. As Henderson re- fused tocome out for the third fall, the match necessarily went to me I have $1, 900 that says I can throw Henderson in 40 nnfnutes.''
 Then Roller turned to Ed Pollard manager O. the Masked Marvel,'s and said- f,
 If Henderson is the Masked Mar vel my proposition holds good'' ssI can't speak for Mort Henderson re- piled Pollard, but the Marvel will Wrest1e you any time.''

 VALE BASEBALL TEAM
 NEXT SEASON, IS REPORT

vale men who are in a position to know say the case of the five Yale baseball players who withdrew from tnkercoI1egfate athletics last fall be- cause of violation 9f the eilg1pliity rules covering summer baseball is on its way to speedy settlement If in deeds the matter has not at this time been disposed of definitely. says Fair Play in the New York Post.
 Recent prophecy in this department that However the final determfnation Of the yale authorities may affect four of the men involved, the fifth man, LeGore, will be found representing his university on the gridiron in the fall of 1916 and playing baseball Tn inc spring of 1917, still stands. Recent developments in the situation give no ground for W withdrawing or amending it in any way.
 On the other hand, nothing is -lsked in saying that, so far as veteran Hrst- string material is coricerned, the Yale varsity nine this spring will present a sorry spectacle. There has been hopes in certain quarters that the Yale au- thorfties might see their way clear to adjust the dfff1cuIty without action so drastic as will surely be applied.
 There is the feeling among Yale men Of high ideals that previous atl1- 1etIc officers at Yale were as deeply responsible for the Quogue episode as the players themselves zvare. The vii oIations in question had been in prog ress for some time preceding Profes- sor Corwin,s appointment as chairman of the athletic comn1i ttee and it was he that took prompt measures to en- force more strict observance of the rules ais they stood
 The players who fell under the prac- tfca1 Interpretation the stipulations had come to look upon them as dead letter if indeed they thought of them

1914--Freddie Welsh defeated Frankie Whitney in 10 rounds at At 1anta. As a result of this session in the Georgia metropolis, Whitney has gained a, wholesome respect for the We1shman's prowess. and he has never Joined in the anvil chorus of those who. denounce Welsh. The Ce- dar Rapids lightweight has fought a lot Of good men, including Charlie White, butt he declares that Freddie kept him buster than all the other boxers he had ever met combined During those 10 rounds in Atlanta, 2 said Whitney not long ago, Freddie showed me more boxing skill than all the eighty or ninety other fellows had fought up to that time. If Welsh is half as good now as he was two years ago, none of the boys have a chance with him over any route up to 20 rounds" Whitney has been .scrapping in the rePed arena since 1908, and he has fought enough of the top-notchers to know boxing when he is up against it.

JIMMY CALLAHAN, ]. NEW PIRATE BOSS, !. GREAT STRATEG[ST

James J.. Callahan, who succeeds Fred Clarke as manager of. the Pitts burgh Pirates was born in Fitch burg March IS, 1874, and is accordingly in his 42nd year. His first baseball ex- perienee was acquired as a member of the Peppere1I team, semi professional He was given a tryout with the Phil adelpffa Nationals, and in 1895 went to the Springfield team of the Eastern league as la pitcher. His success was pronounced and in the fall of that year he was drafted both by Pitts burgh and Kansas City.
 In the draw, Pittsburgh lost the man who, 20, years later, was to be- come manager. However, Kansas City wasn't to enjoy it's tre urnph long, for in 1897 Callahan was cquired by the Chicago Nationals and there he re- Inained through 1900.
 It was in 1901 that Callahan went over to the White Sox as a pitcher. His hitting had always been good and the following year he pitched part of the time and played the outfeld when not working on the mound Tn 1903 lie was natled manager for CoInis-' keys outf1t and played third base, his batting average that year being .29o. A year later-in 1904LCa11ahan re- signed the managership and in the succeeding year jumped organized baseball to take hold of the Logan Squares, an outlaw team There he remained until 1911, when he returned to the White Sox as outfelder. being named manager in 1912. and holding on until his resignation at the close of t1te 1914 season.
 Callahan is a master of the art, known inside baseball. He Is credited as being able to get every ounce of what results are possible to get; and it is said his knowledge of the game is surpassed by few men in the national pastinle.
 One thing that is said about the new pilot is that he possesses the knacx of installing his own confidence into the men under him. He doesn't know the meaning of the word ttquft,'' and whenever there is chance worth fighting. for, he is in there fighting.
 While he is opposed to rowdyisn and roughneck, tactics, he insists upon his players going after everything in sight, and Ioafing is one ot: the signs that no Callahan player is able to atone for This being the case, there may be bright things in store for the baseball fans of Pittsburgh
