Marshalltown Central association club
last year and one Of the biggest favor

Uncle Sans army. Word comes from
Cleveland, O.. that Red" has been
made sergeant in the coast artillery
at San Francisco, along with Clark
Dickerson, another pitcher, formerly
with the Cleveland American league
club.
Torkelson was sold to Cleveland last
summer and made good from the start.
He received his baptism of big league
fire against the Detroit Tigers and
struck out Ty Cobb with two men on
bases and two out. Shortly afterwards,
pitching against Pittsburgh in an ex-
hibition contest, he whitfield Hans Wag-
ner In another exhibition game. pitch
ing for Cleveland against the Toronto
team in the International league, Red"

achieved his ambition OF striking out
the three greatest hitters baseball has
ever known-Cobb. Wagner and Liable.
Several months ago Torkelson enlist

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 19.-Eddie Cl-
cote, the eighth wonder Of the base
ball world, who signed new one-year
contract with the Chicago Americans
told friends here that he will pitch un-
der a bonus agreement. Cicotte, who
is Detroiter, declined to state the
terms Of the agreement, but said ne
was we'll satisfied.
'knuckle Ball" Eddie expects to cut
in on another slice Of worlds series
money, but he regards Boston and De-
troit as dangerous contenders for the
pennant.
The Red Sox, in spite Of the loss OF
Barry, Shore, Lewis, Shorten. Gamer
and Hoblitzel will be dangerous be-
cause they have added Bush, Strunk'
Schang and McInns," said the star
pitcher who formerly twirled for ths
Boston club. Cicotte pointed out that
Detroit was not seriously affected by
the draft and with a veteran team or
hard hitters, should show champion
ship form.
My arm is a strong as ever and l
could pitch a championship game Win
two or three weeks Of training SAID
Cicotte.
Cicotte's remarkable come back. al
ter several year of "so-so" pitching
was a source of satisfaction to his
friends on the Detroit club who always
maintained that he was star. They
knew the inside Of his troubles when
pitching for Boston and they felt that
a change of uniorm would benefit the
chunky right-hander
Cobb and other members OF the
Tigers often were amused by stories
regarding Cicotte's shine ball" They
insisted that this alleged delivery was
nothing more than a knuckle ball and
change Of pace, Of which C!cotte Is
master. Cicottes GOODNESS, his fine
control and his sharp curve composed
his shine ball, they insisted. And
Eddie has agreed that the much dis
cussed curve was a myth.

JOHN r, ADAMS LIKELY TO BE
PICKED FOR CAMPAIGN
MANAGER.
NATIONAL COMMITTEE
FAvORS HAWkEYE MEMBER
Adams Said to Be In Favor OF Vigorous
Republican Campaign Despite World
War and Will Work for Return to
Power Of RepubIicans-Willeox Held
to Be Taking in Agsressiveness

Washington, Jan. 1s.-Growing talB
is heard here of the selection Of new
republican national chairman as the
outcome Of the meeting of the repub-
lican national committee at st. LOUIS
next month. An Iowa man, National
Committeeman John T. Adams, now
prominent on the executive committee
of the national committee, Is being not
only prominently mentioned for the
place but he is being given strong sup
port among influential elements in the
committee.
While it can not be positively said
that Mr. Adams will be named, the
support for him, lately has been grow
ing and his selection Will not be sur
prising.
National Chairman Wilcox Of New
York, il is true. has not resigned. Mr..
Wilcox, by reason Of the failure OF
the Hughes campaign. and for some
other reasons. IS not strong with the
committee. Personally, Mr.. Wilcox is
liked but there IS a demand among
many OF rhe committee for a more
vigorous regime than his; likewise
there is a demand that he step aside
and let some more energetic man take
his place.
MT. Adams. il IS known. is one ct
the repu blicans who tavors an ey
tremely vigorous policy and does not
think the republicans should drop all
political effort because there IS war. II
so happens that the democratic ma
tional committee !s openly pursuing
an energetic policy Of organization.
This has aroused many Of the -ep25-
lican leaders and they say the -e2lo-
lican national committee must DO Ike
wise.
1t is probable that there Will De a
reorganization Of the official corps Of
THE national committee at The Feb-u-
airy meeting, apart from me chair
manship. One OF the plans which IS
being given consideration g TO main
tain headquarters in Washington from
which detailed organization plans can
be carried on constantly and l!tera-

MCFARLAND INsrRUcrs SOLDIERS
Teaching National Army Men Science
Of Self Defense.

OF Sef-OefonSe.
Louisville, Ky. Jan. 19.-Packey Nc
Farland, the pueilistic pride of Chicago,
| is located at Camp Zachary Taylor, the
national army cantonment near here,
instructing young Indiana, southern IL
linois and Kentucky soldiers how,
when they come to grips with the Ger
mans over there" to land a knockout
blow and do it first.
Mcfarland succeeds Jimmy Dunn as
boxing instructor at Camp Taylor. He
plans to move his wife and two child
rem here from their home in Joliet Ill,
shortly. Packey Is delighted with the
work.
His last big bout was with Mike Glib
bons In the open air at the Polo
Grounds in New York, in September,
1915. For this match $4,000 was hung
up. and the largest crowd that ever as
sembled around a ring saw these two
wizards Of the Queensbury game go ten
rounds,
McFarland's greatest year probably
was in 1908, when he knocked out jim
my Britt in six rounds and defeated
Freddy Welsh in ten. Later in the
same year Mcfarland went twenty
five rounds to draw, with the Eng
lish boxer. Besides being a boxer Of
skill Packey had real punch and got
more than his share of knockouts. In
1911 he could have had the welter
weight title for the asking, but refused
10 get out Of the lightweight class.
Mcfarland practically retired two
years ago when he found he was get
ting too heavy for the lightweight class.
He fought most Of his bouts that year
as welterweight. and his battle with
Gibbons in 1915 was at catch weight,
Gibbons being a middle weight.

Since Ned Egan won the appoint

American Association club, many
strange stories have been published
concerning Foxy Ned" The follow
ing, from the Indianapolis News, Is
worth reading:
Ned Egan comes as manager to the
Milwaukee club thru very peculiar cir

ing the International meeting Owner
A. F. Timme opened negotiations with
Jack Egan, manager Of the Providence
club last year Mr.. Egan's name was
sent to the press as a possible man
ager for the Milwaukee club, and the
newspapers enormously announced Ned
Lgan as the man. Immediately Timme
received many letters from baseball
men, particularly major league base
bail men. strongly recommending Ned
Esan. Mr.. Timme had not met Ned
Egan at that time, but his endorsement
was so strong that finally negotiations
were opened with him. resulting IN
