Hitting The High Spots

the niddleweight limit has been fixed
at 1853 but in England and Australia
it is 100. That is the weight at which
Darcy always fights. Mccoy will
probably insist upon the Australian
getting down to 1853.
Now that lee Magee of the Yankees
has legally freed himself from the
name of Hoerschmeyer he probably
won't care whether the players de-
clare a strike or not.
It is said that Manager Fielder
Jones of the st. Louis Browns will
TRIP his young star, George Sisler, in
the outfield next season. Sisler can
play the outfeld with the best of
them. He was stationed at first base
last year but Jones thinks there is
more chance of Sisler getting hurt if
he sticks to an infield job.
The Western colleges are trying to
stamp out the practice of collegians
taking part in professional football
contests. They have even made rule
against graduates. Any athlete who.
after finishing his college, career, en-
cages in professional contest must
turn in his varsity letter. Another
rule is that any employe of college
athletic department who plays pro-
fessional football must be dismissed.
Truely these are cherries days.
John McGraw had his golf clubs all
arranged for a trip to Cuba and then
the ball players threatened to strike.
So John will have to play cow pasture
pool in some Broadway establish
ment.
Larry Pratt, who formerly caught
for Springfield, will be with Omaha
in the Western league next season.

DIR. HAWLEY BEATEN
IN CUE TOURNAMENT

New York, Jan. 12-In match
that wound up the prelinainaries of
the national amateur class C bi1li-
ard championship, DR.. Howard w.
Hawley, the title holder, met defeat
at Maurice Days Academy last night,
but the setback did not prevent him
from advancing to the finals, for he
had previously won two matches in
his division. The champion was out
played by George Spear in a long
drawn out exhibition, 200 to 1853.
Six others advanced with DR.. Haw-
ley to the final round, which starts to-
day in round robin fashion. They are
Julian Rice, Clyde b. Terry, Ferdi-
nand Unger, Charles P. Matthews
George Spear and Irving Levine. One
OF those who failed to move into the
title round, I. Schwartz, had the sat
isfaetion Of registering the highest
run yet made in class c competition.
In an early inning of his match with
Rice Schwartz counted 6S, beating the
class G record by three points.

Tex Richard. the New York boxing
promoter, said last night that he
would advise Les Darcy to arrange a
bout with AL Mccoy unless news from
Carpenter is heard by next Monday.
AS there seems to be no possibility of
Carpenter getting out of France it is
likely the McCoy-Darcy affair will be
decided upon unless Mccoy wants too
much. The question of weight may
cause trouble. too. In this country
