Heavyweight Cofey
Starts Training For
Bouts in Near Future

Jim COffey, the Irish giant, is be-
ing groomed again for an attack on
the heavyweight title. His manager.
Billy Gibson. kept Jim in retirement
during the past summer, as Jim had
not been able to do much after his
mixing with Frank Moran and it was
deemed best 10 let the good natured
giant rest. Recently Jim announced
that he had recovered his confidence
and was ready for another smash at
the trenches of the first line, but
Billy decided that the third row would
be enough for a starter. As a re-
suit Jim was started out the first
week in September and has been busy
ever since. He gave BARLEY Mad
den a rather tough mixing in 10
rounds in New York. then fought a
y round draw with Battling Levin
sky at Boston and followed by knock
ing out Joe Bonds in three rounds.
That was not bad for ten days work
and now Jim says he will soon be
ready TO tackle Frank Moran again
and also Fred Fulton. Coffey and
Fulton would be about the biggest
match New York could stage just now
outside Of Leonard and White or
Dundee.

GIANT OUTFIELDERS OUTCLA5ST THE
WHITE S0X MEN, SAY THE CRITICS.
Benny Kauff Burns and Robertson Are Trio That Are
Hard to Beat and Are Considered Better Than Felsch
Joe Jackson and Leibod; Burns Is Sturdiest Of

-EW YORK, Sept 25.-National
M league partisans may concede
4 y that the White S0x have a
bulge on the Giants in some positions,
but when you mention the outfielders
concessions end then and there
Fans and critics who favor the
Clan McGraw as the winner in the
big series contend that in Burns,
Kauff and Robertson the New York
club has a trio Of su5urbanites that
completely outclasses the White SOx
combination. regardless Of the fact
that in Joe Jackson and Hap Felsch
Chicago can boast Of two OF the best
hitting gardeners in the American
league.
The fame OF John MeGraw's
OutfIeId trio has been justly
earned, for they represent the
class of the National league a.
whole, and with the exception
Of Robertson. whose hitting has
fallen off this season for some
unexplainable reason, the Gotham
collection Is a highly brilliant
one.
Kauff is realizing his ambition TO
rank as a 800 hitter this year. while
Burns has lowered close to the 800
mark all season and may pass it by
