NEW YORK MAGNATES
gHar,ssSURPRISED AT SALE

NEW YORK. Jan. S-The sale OF the
Boston Nationslleague club by Messrs.
Gaffney and Dasts to a group OF Bos-
ton bankers came as great surprise
tolocal baseball magnates and follow
ers of the game. The present disturbed
condition of the national game, the
sale or prospective sale of several ma
tional and American league clubs has
been reported and discussed from many
angles, but the Boston National club
was never mentioned in this connec-
ton. 1t was said here today, however,
that the decision of Gaffney and Davis
TO }retire from baseball was not due
to any loss of interest in baseball, but
rather to the fact that the time and
money necessary for successful OPP
Grafton of club seriously interefered
with their business interests.
Percy D. Haughton, who 1t is un-
derstood will act as president of the
Boston National league baseball club
inithe new regime. is more noted as a
football player and coach than base
ball man, although he played on the
varsity nine while an undergraduate
at! Harvard in the late nineties and
captloned the crimson team in 1899
OF late years, Haughton has divided
his attention between Ghe coaching Of
Harvard football teams and the Boston
stock exchange. Success, year In and
year out with the crimson elevens,
has made him one OF the most famous
of American football coaches.

FOLNEL|.
Expected to Develop Great
Team at University Of Penn
syvania Next Season.

The selection of Robert G. Fol-
well as football coach for the Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania has cleared the
gridiron situation at one eastern in
stitution and the names of the coaches
at Syracuse, Yale and several other
OF the larger colleges Of this section
are expected to be announced within
The next few weeks. Pennsylvania
alumni and undergraduates are Of the
opinion that Folwell will prove to be
the grldiron Moses to lead the Quak-
ers out of the football wilderness and
his record would appear to indicate
his ability in this direction.
His coaching has passed the exper-
mental stage and he has shown that
he thoroughly understands both the
old and new game. With splendid
groundwork Of fundamentals and a
mastery of the modern overhead game
Folwell is In position to develop
high class teams at Pennsylvania.
What he has done at Lafayette and
Washington and Jefferson, since he
was graduated from Pennsylvania,
with the smaller squads Of these col
leges he should be able to duplicate
for his alma mater. In his eight years
of coaching his teams have made the
Following records: Played seyenty-six
games of which fifty-seven were won,
thirteen lost and six tied while the
total points scored amounted to 1888.
| In the same period Pennsylvania teams
played eighty-four games, winning
ffty-six. losing twenty and tying eight
with a total point score Of 1850.

WILLARD WILL

At Least Two Times during the

NEW YORK, Jan. S,--Whlle some
uncertainty exists us to just when and
where Jess Willard will defend his
heavyweight title during 1916, there
appears to he little doubt that the
champion will DO seen in one or more
battles during the coming twelve
months. There is also some question
as to which of the challengers for tho
title will be accorded first chance to
meet Willard in the ring.
II height. strength and youth were
the only qualifications necessary TO
insure their possessor tho right TO

Notwithstanding the enormous pro-
portions Of the present champion, ne

OF bigger men than, ever before IN

close to 2l0 pounds, when In condi-

In the big gymnasium with the old

Monongahela river as the opposi-
ton. Coach Ulrich reported at7noon
Wednesday and the first practice was
held that day. Fifteen candidates
were at the first workout and they
were largely the older men. Thurs
day the number was doubled and al
though no pleas for additional men
have been made the number Of new
men has heen steadily increasing
and 1t liz readily apparent that some
Of the would-be varsity men will
have to be relegated to the various
class teams in order for the more
promising material to have an OPP
portunity for practice. Coach I'LL
rich has made good from the start.
For the first time Wesleyan seems
to have landed really up to date

that surpasses anything in point Of
experience as we'll as In numbers
that Wesleyan has ever had, the out
look for the greatest team In. the
history Of the institution is very
bright.
Six wv" winners from the
1915 squad has so far reported.
These are Captain Jacobs, Resseg-

regulars is a problem that such new
stars as Beck, Blake, Thurman, Dam
iels, Merrells, Springs and the score

trying to solve. 1t appears, how

PIRATES NEW PILOT
EXPERIENCED PLAYER
Callahan One of Brainest Men
in the National Game at
Present Time.

James J.. Callahan, who succeed
Fred Clarke as manager of the Pitts
burg Pirates, was born in Fitchburg,
Mass, March Is, 1874, and is ac-
cordingly in his forty-second year.
His first baseball experience was ac-
'quired as a member Of the Pepperell
team, semi-professionaI. He was CIV
en- tryout with the Philadelphia Ma
tionals, and in 1896 went to the Spring
field team Of the Eastern league as a
pitcher. His success was pronounced
and in the fall Of that year he was
drafted both by Pittsburg and Kan
sas City.
In the draw, Pittsburg lost the man
who, twenty years later, was to be-
come its manager. However, Kansas
City wasn't to enjoy its triumph long.
for in 1897 Callahan was acquired
by the Chicago Nationals and there
he remained through 1900.
1t was in 1901 that Callahan went
over to the White Sox rs a pitcher.
His hitting had always been good ana
the following year he pitched part OF
the time and played the outfield when
not working on the mound. in 1915
he was named manager for Comis-
keys outfit and played third base, his
batting average that year being .29o.
A year later, in 1904, Callahan re-
signed the managership and in the
succeeding year jumped organized
baseball to take hold Of the Logan
Squares, an outlaw team. There ne
remained until 1911, when he returned
to the White Sox as an outfelder, be-
ing named managed in 1912, and
holding on until his resignation at
the close Of the 1914 season.
Callahan is.a master of the arr
known as inside baseball. He is cred
tied with being able to get every ounce
Of what results are possible to get,
and 1t is said his knowledge Of the
game is surpassed by few men In the
national pastime.
One thing that is said about the new
pilot is that he possesses the knack
Of instilling his own confidence into
the men under him. He doesn't know
the meaning Of the word quit, and
whenever there is a chance worth
fighting for, he is there fighting. While
he is opposed to rowdyism and rough
neck tactics, he insists upon his play
ers going after everything in sight,
and loafng is one Of the sins that no
Callahan player is able to atone for
This being the case, there may be
bright things in store for the baseball
fans oi Pittsburg.

HARVARD COACH
NEW PRESIDENT
OF BOSTON. CLUB
George staIIings Will Be Re,
tanned as Manager and
Have Charge of Players.

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 8-Percy D.
Haughton, the famous Harvard foot
ball coach, today, became president
and part owner of the Boston National
league baseball club. Associated with
him as head of syndicate OF Boston
men is Arthur c. Wise, member OF
local banking firm. The new presl-
dent announced that he would retain
the services Of George T. Stallings as
manager Of the club and that Stallings
would have absolute charge OF the
playing end of the organization. Wal
ter E. Hapgood will continue as bust
ness manager.
The announcement of the sale OF the
club, which two years ago won the
worlds championship after a sensa-
tional season, was surprise to the
sporting circles. The Braves had not
been on the market and until within
a few days President James E. Gaffney
and Robert F. Davis, of New York, the
owners, had fully expected to retain
control during the coming season, ac-
cording to a statement isued by Mr..
Gaffney.
Unofficially the price paid is said to
be clase to half mission dollars.
The club was purchased three years
ago by Mr.. Gaffney for $4,000. The
new Braves field, at which the last
worlds series was played, was not in
cluded in the sale. A lease, the same
length as that held by Gaffney. was
given the new owners. 1t will be fol
thirty-three years.
Mr.. Gaffney, in statement. said
when he discovered that he could Sc
cure price upon the stock that would
net him substantial profit, he could
not, as business man, turn down tho
proposition.
The new president also issued a
statement in which he declared that
II would be his policy to maintain the
high standard of baseball at Braves
Field. While this statement made no
direct reference to his probable action
with regard to severing his relations
with Harvard University as coach, 1t
announced that he would devote his
time to the.cl and its interests in
the future

The champion, however, cut loose
early in the second round, and sent
a hook to Cline's jaw which dropped
