---Shortstop Kopf, a youngster who

of the game this year says John Tener,
National league president Recently
Tener while discussing the chances
of the western teams in next seasons
National league race, pointed out that
Cincinnati was due for a big showing
and that he expected TO see it happen.
And he added, among, other things,
that Young Kopf would develop into
one of the best shbrtstops in the game.
While kopf was with the Athletics"
said Tener, he was young enough to
think that he knew all about the bust
ness and Connie Mack found it hard
to tell him anything, Connie has told
me since that kopf has great natural
ability and that when he becomes will
ing to be given a little good instruc-
ton. he will bloom into one of the
best yet. Mack sent kopf to Baltf-

done the youngster good. because

FRESHMEN TO PLAY
IN R. NJ. CONFERENCE

According to the now rules adopted
by the Rocky Mountain conference. OF
which the Montana State college be-
came q member recently, freshmen
may play on the university teams after
the first semester. The matter was
brought up at the meeting last year
and was finally settled in the affirm
ative at the recent conference. The
new ruling should undoubtedly help
the Aggies in basketball, baseball and
track, as very often some Of the most
promising players in school are fresh
men.
The Aggies have been rather quiet
in an athletic way since they played
against the Montana Wesleyan uni
versity on December Is, and the next
game that they will play will furnish
a chance for a comparison with the
Bruins, as it will be against the trav-
cling Oklahoma Normal school team
which plays here next week. The boys
from the Sooner" state play at Con
zaga next Thursday, at Missoula next
Friday and Saturday. and then at
Rozeman. The normal school team
showed up well in their first game on
the coast, beating the University of
Oregon, 80 to II. but then Oregon has
just taken up the hoop game after a
years lay-off.

RUBY BOB HIT JEFF
TOO HARD AND LOST

Bob Fitzsimmons, who was in Mis-
soula with the Pantages Thursday
night, lost the worlds heavyweight
boxing championship because he hit
his opponent too hard. 1t will be re-
membered that Jim Jeffries knocked
Bob out in the eleventh round Of their
championship fight at Coney Island in
1897.
Jeffries was given hard lacing and
his face looked much Hike n beefsteak
before he put the freckied one away to
sleep. Jeffries always claimed that it
was because Of the springy ring floor
that Eitz gave him such a beating.
The foundation under the ring was so
light that Jeffries with his huge bulk
sank under his own weight when he
tried to go after Bob.
F'itz had closed both of Jeffries'
eyes. and had the big boilermaker all
but blinded. as at the end of the sixth
round Jeff went to the wrong corner.
But Fitz landed so hard in the next
two rounds On Jeffries' eyes that he
cut them open again and Jeff finally
sent home the knockout.

New York, Jan. 12.-Dun's review to-
morrow will say:
With the end Of the holidays and
annual settlement business has re-.
gained momentum in many branches
and sections, though wholesome con-
servatism and caution are everywhere
manifest. Each week the question of
future economic establishments enters
more largely into calculations. and
doubts as to the changes that must
ultimately be effected cause hesitancy
both in legitimate trade and industry
and in speculation. While the out
look is obscure, both buyers and sellers
alike recognize that transition to a
more natural range of commodity
prices is inevitable and among inter-
ests, whose requirements are covered
far ahead, there is a disposition to de-
fer purchases in anticipation of con-
cessions. Yet after long period of
extraordinary buying some statement
of demand is to be expected and with
the works booked to capacity for
months to come, there is little. if any:
yielding among producers. who still
are more concerned with the problem
of-making deliveries on previous con-
tracts than in securing additional or
ders.

Offence VS.. Defence

Sir: Your comparisons of the Red
SoX and the Detroit Tigers are inter-
osting as far as they so, in my opin-
ion, there is something more to it
than pitchers. Personally ! should
like to see what the figures show in
offense and defense between the two
clubs for 1916. CAMBRIDGE.
Detroit led upon attack in every de-
tail-hatting, base running. run maxi
ming. Boston had all the best of it
in pitching. We haven't the fielding
records at hand, but there would be
very little difference here. Another
advantage that Boston had was great
or AL around determination to win
a determination that maintained its
rrimness beyond the departure of
Speaker and the later loss OF Jack
Barry.

'Thc result was that when the first
inning was over the White SoS had
five runs and we had nothing. There
was one fellow on the club at that time
who was my friend, and that was
Buck Freeman. He came in from right

just what he said to Jimmy Collins.
You're not going to take the kid
