Weinert Still Thinks
He Can Knock Billy
Miske Out of Ring

Manager Harry Pollock sends the
following in explanation of Charley
Weinert's defeat at the hands Of Billy
Miske last week: T.
Charley Weinert says Billy Miske
is a great fighter. Charley Weinert
also says Billy Miske licked him last
Friday night. And Charley Weinert
says again, he has no use~for a chap,
who is always looking for an "out."
But Charley Weinert says, once again;
that he thinks he can, knock Billy
Miske out, sif they Should ever meet
again. Weinert's only semblance of
an excuse is that he was Short
"Weinert goes to the Adirondack
Mountains today for three week S
hunting trip in which he will lie
around and get all the rest and put
on as much flesh as possible. Then
he will come back and plunge into
active training and be ready to try his
hand again at climbing the ladder Of
pugilistic fame. BY the middle of
February he will be ready for the
starting goong to send him into a
scrap against anyone"

Pat Moran Doesn't
Receive Credit For
His Wonderful Work


Of all leading managers who have
achieved a distincts uccess in the
game, it strikes us that Pat Moran,
the. Philly director, has obtained far
les than his share of praise, writes
Grantland Rice in the New York
Tribune. Pat won a pennant in 1915
with ball club that no one figured
as first division team and he did it
In his first year as a manager.
This last season, with a club rated
fourth or fifth, he remained in the
fight until Bancroft was injured in
the final week with a club that beat
Brooklyn In seven out Of the last
eight games through the stretch. Pat
was firing away at the peak until
within two days of the close with
one great pitcher, where the leading
batsmen of his club was fixed at .2s3
and where Bancroft, his infield star
dropped to .213. Moran is rugged out
with the qualities that winning
manager needs-firmness, good judg-
ment and the respect of his tribe,
AS long as the combination OF Nor
an and Alexander is around the Phil:
lies are not very likely to be regard
ed again as bpen-faced targets for any
hostile fire.

CAN CHAPMAN OF
CLEVELAND COME /.
BACK THIS SEASON?

= Although he did not do very well
in 1916, Ray Chapman, the great
shortstop Of the Indians, is expected
to come back strong this year. Ray
mond is twenty-six years old today,
as.he was born in Old Kentucky, at
Owensboro, on Jan. Is, 1891. He is
now at the age when he ought to be
at his best, and the fact that about
fifteen major league clubs have been
trying to get him indicates that there
lis, no lack Of faith in his ability to
regain his 1915 form, when he was
hailed as the best shortstop in Ban
Johnson's little old ball league. Chap
man, broke into PROFESSIONAL ball in
1910, playing with Davenport, Ia, and
Springfield and Kewanee, I'll. In 1912
he was with Toledo, where he played
a great game at short and batted $40.
Toward the close of the season he
was turned over to Cleveland, and
won a regular berth with the Injuns
right from the jump. Last year he
broke an ankle, and that put him out
OF the game for some time. He was
tried at third and second last year,
but did not show up well.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE coming Of
President Ban johnson Of the Ameri-
can league to this city today will have
b wider significance than attends his
formal mission of talking over the
schedule for next season with Pres1-
dent John X. Tener of the National
league. It will mark the first move OF
Organized Ball. in reply to the strike
threat which was recently issued by
the Players Fraternity. President
Barney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburgh
club will be here, and President w. f..
Baker Of the Phillies, and Captain T..
i. Huston and Colonel Jacob Rupert
Of the Yankees will also get into the
conference.
President johnson has come out in
ferocious terms concerning the strike,
and advocates that the major leagues
night their players in their effort to
force an issue on the minor leaguers'
demands. Johnson, it is stated, will
advocate that time limit be set for
xhe players, and if they do not send
in. their signed contracts within the
time fixed they be suspended without
pay. 49, IN
johnson has predicted for some time
that the Issue must be fought out with
the Players Fraternity, and he be-
heves that If the club owners take a
stand now and cut off the players
salaries, it will not be long before they
will return to the fold. In fact, all the
club owners predict, that the major
league players would soon back down
from their stand when they find that
their salaries are not Forthcoming.
This is the time, Of the year when

complete their work and also to dis

ever, will overshadow all other topics
which the major league satraps have

today if possible.
While the major leagues are dis

Harry Gilmore Lost
to Jack McAulife
In % Round Bout

Thirty years ago Harry Gilmore,
the clever Canadian, attempted to
wrest the lightweight laurels from
Jack McAuliffe at Lawrence, Mass,
and he gave Williamsburg Jack a run
for his money. The bout was for the
championship belt and-just think of
it!-S500 a side. The men fought
with skin gloves. Twenty eight
rounds had been fought when Gill
more's hackers tossed up the sponge,
Harry having sustained a broken nose
and several other injuries. McAuliffe
was also pretty much battered, and
both of his optics were almost closed.
He afterwards admitted that he was
mighty glad when Gilmore gave in,
because he couldn't have kept on
much longer with his bum peppers.
McAuliffe retired from the lightweight
championship undefeated, and has
since been making living on the
vaudeville stage. Gilmore, when he
quit the ring, settled down in Chicago
as a boxing instructor.
