FIGHT FANS AFTER
TICKETS FOR BOUT

Baltimore. Dec. 16.-Boxing's popu-
larity in this city is attested by the
demand upon the Peerless Athletic
Club for accommodations at the bat
tie at Albaugh's Theater next Friday
night, which will mark the revival of
the sport here after a lay-off of seven
months because of the war. At pres
ent it appears as II the North Charles
street playhouse will be crowded with
fans anxious to witness the twelve
round bout between Jack Sharkey, of
New York, and Fighting Dick Load
man, of Lockport, n. Y.
Both Sharkey and Loadman were
pleased with the selection of Frank
Pop) O'Brien. of Philadelphia, as the
referee. The Quaker arbiter is known
throughout the boxing game as an
efficient official who rules with a stern
hand.
A new regulation of the police COM
missioners will require the principals
in next Friday nights main encounter
to appear in person before Deputy
Marshal Sam House just twenty-four
hours before they enter the arena
This is to be done as a protection to
the public. The police official will be
sure that both are in condition to give
nothing but their best efforts.

RETURN TO AMERICA

New York, Dec. 1s.-Ty Cobb. De-

one Of bssebairs greatest inflelders,
returned to America today.
Cobb, who was given a commission
as captain in the chemical warfare

turned on the Lorraine.
"Ty" had nothing to say to the re-

learned that he had made a speech
at a minstrel show on board the ship
saturday night in which he said:
I'm sure glad to be on my way
home. I'm happy, too. TO think / took

MOORE TO GIVE
WILDE CHANCE
Tom Walsh, Manager Of
Pal, Making Steps for
Long Bout in Spring,

Thomas Wilson Moore. who leaped
into flstic prominence when he de-
feated the famous British fiy-weight,
Jimmy Wilde. in the Kings Boxing
Carnival in London. is far from an
unknown quantity. He has faced all
the best bantams in this country.
and has decisions over Pete Herman.
Kid Williams and Johnny Ertle. and
probably may he the first American
bantam TO face Wilde when the Briton
comes to this country.
Moore never was known for his
hitting ability, but depended upon his
unusual reach and speed to outpoint
his foe. Just how much class he
possesses was shown in his clash
with Wilde. The English fiy-weight
champion was believed unbeatable by
foreign fistic fans. Moore's unex-
pected triumph was the one big upset
of the interallied tournament. and
his victory partly atones for the loss
Of the tourney.
Before the battle was eight minutes
old British fight promoters began talk
ing of a longer battle. They still
insist that something was wrong;
that Wilde fought too much during
the tournament, and when he came
up for the finals was not in the best
of condition.
Moore is under the management OF
Tom Walsh, of Chicago. and inform
ed the British promoters who en-
deavored to rematch him with Wilde
that they would have to arrange the
bout through Walsh. Walsh assert
ed today that he was willing to have
Moore engage Wilde over any dis
tance. but the purse must be worth
while. Last night Walsh cabled to
the British promoter who is seeking
a Moore Wilde battle:
vWilling to meet Wilde over any
distance for a guarantee of 1880. the
fight to be staged on Easter Monday.
IL not satisfactory will guarantee
Wilde the same amount to meet
Moore in New Orleans next spring"
Walsh explained that il would first
be necessary tpr Moore to return to
the Great Lakes Naval Training Sta
ton to be mustered out before he
could engage Wilde in a match for
personal profit. That is the reason
the Easter Monday date was sug-
gested.

LOOK TOWARD
JOINT MEETING
Baseball Situation Prob
ably Will Not Be Disturb
ed Until Jan. l6.

New York. Dec. 16.-The baseball sit
uation probably will not be any further
disturbed until the joint meeting OF
the National and American leagues In
this city on January 16 next. At that
time something definite is likely to de-
yelop to clear up the muddle existing
Immediately. Ban johnson seems
determined to retain Garry Hermann
as chairman of the National Commits
sion.
The National League majority Is
quite as determined to eliminate the
president of the Reds. johnson has
not the support of the majority of his
club owners. but he usually is able
after the meetings of his organization
to take about whatever action he
pleases.
The American League meeting in
Chicago last week was far less har-
magnates tried 20 make it appear at
the time. There were certain axes
sharpened against the big czar of the
Junior organization.
Indeed, it had been framed before
the meeting to make the mighty Ban
give guarantees that he would kees
the peace. 1t was alleged that he had
damaged the cause of the league by
talking too much and talking without
consulting the wishes of the men he
represented. 1t is heard through the
most reliable sources and by club
owners who have always been John
sons friends that at the joint meeting
in New York Ban will be bound over
to the peace most effectually.
This meeting is likely to be a stormy
one. but only so far as American
League politics is concerned. 1t looks
now as If majority of the American
League club owners will insist on in
dorsing certain National League poh =.
cies relative to the National Commits
sion. Whether or not the form Of gov
ernment will be amended along radi-
cal lines cannot be determined at this
time.
The American League did not in
dorse Hermann for chairman.as has
been enormously reported. but only
offered him vote of confidence. Herr
mann would be satisfactory to the
American League as chairman IL he
would sever his connections with the
presidency of the Cincinnati National
League team, but the American
League would not make any great
fight for him. it is believed, especially
since the National League has gone on
record as resolutely opposing Herr
mann.
