NO MORE TRAVEL DE
, LUKE FOR BALL MEN

Chicago, Jan. 21.-For a good many
years the ball players of the big
leagues have travelled like princes on
the road.
They've always had the best of ev-
erything-palatial Pullmans, luxurious
diners and club cars, and many long
Jumps have been made enjoyable for
them because Of the fact that they
have always travelled first class.
But the luxuries of railroad travel
at least good many of them-will be
missing by the time the season Of 1915
opens. Club and observation cars are
to be taken off Of nearly every rail-
road train which will run on a regular
schedule through big league territory,
and wartime economy will make it
impossible for the ball player to en-
Joy many Of his favorite dishes on the
diners. It's ia, ia. travelling luxury,
for the players until the war is over

HERMAN WANTS TO BE
1918 KNOCKOUT KING

Hot Springs, Ark, Jan. 21.-Resent-
ing the theory that his record for 1917
was only &c 2-3 efficient because he
had won but four battles during the
year via the knockout route, Pete Her
man Saturday declared that his reso-
luton for the new year was to try for
the *. o." wallop in every bout.
Boxing fans over the country have
approved my work, whether l have
half killed my opponent or not" said
Herman. Il see where some statisti-
clan said that l won but 5 per cent of
my fights by stopping my opponents.
Il engaged in some bouts in 1917 in
which knockouts would have been
easy, but it never occurred to me be-
fore that it made much difference
whether boxer gradually wore down
his opponent and won a verdict in the
limited bouts now the rule, or whether
he pranced around with nothing in
view but poke on the jaw"
Herman is working here daily for
his engagement with Ertle in New Or
leans in early February, and he is
going to try to make that knockout
No. for the year 1918. The bantam
king regards Ertle as one of the most
serious contenders for his champion
ship honors.
1T can at least be said that I have
| been willing to engage in many battles
and that ] will continue to give every
claimant chance to show whether
he can win. l don't want a champion
ship a. souvenir. | don't consider
the bantam championship was ar
ranged especially In MY honor, nor
that l will hold 1t any longer than |
can best the men who have the right
to contest for it,

cal Quintet Victory.
BY BOB OLMSTED.

Showing a marked improvement In
their whole general style of play, the
Augustana boys Saturday night wal
loped the squad from Macomb, A to
26 at the Augustana gymnasium.
The game was a fast one through
out. The Normal team was plucky
and Augustana had constantly to keep
on its guard. Speed was the big fac
tor in the victory. Augustana's supe-
riority lay simply in her ability to
cover the floor faster and make more
lightning movements than her oppo-
nents. Basket shooting and teamwork
on both sides were good.
Augustana started the first half
with q rush and before the downstate
crew had found itself, rolled up a
score Of 16 to A. The Swedes then
commenced to take it easy and Ma
comb started her machine with the re-
suit that the close of the first half
showed the score 22 to 16 in favor OF
Augustana-
Macomb started the second half fast
and inside Of few minutes, tied the
score. making it 90 to %. The North
men then began to realize that the
game was not yet theirs and IRON
then on took the situation so seriously
that Macomb was able to make but
two more baskets in the entire period
Augustana's speed simply bewilderet
Macomb and left it helpless.
Plays Fast
For Augustana, Bengston at center
played the game Of his life, tyint
Bloomberg's record for the game in bias
kets. Bloomberg, however, was secont
to none in his playing and his tol
of baskets was in the face of the fac
that he had Macomb's stellar man
Pugh, guarding him. Almer and Lyol
both put up a tremendous scrap a
the guard position. Almer, the small!
est man on the team, eliciting bot
praise and merriment for the way h
handled his opponents.

OF BIC VICTORY
Dundee, Local Favorite, Feels Sure Of
Win in Go With Richie at

Mike Dundee states that he is feel
ing more confident every day that he
will land a K 0. wallop to Johnny
Richie of Chicago when they meet in
IL l0-rOund go at the Owls hall Thurs
day night.
Dundee is working and training as
he never trained before and states that
he is going to show the tri-city fight
fans fight that will be we'll worth
seeing. The Chicago boy is training
and expects to return blow for blow
that he received the last time he
fought Dundee. He says that the fight
Thursday will not be boxing exhi-
bition but will be fight. He says
that he is going to win a decision or
land knockout If 1t is the last thing
he does. Since the last fight with
Mike, Richie has had no warm feel
ings for the little local favorite and
intends to land a few The last fight
was a draw. according to newspaper
decisions. but Rock Island fans who
saw the fight say that Dundee easily
had q shade.
Lee Mcmahon of Chicago will DEM
onstrate the boxing art with Johnny
Hoffman of Milwaukee in a six-round
match and the Chicago boy is pre-
dicted to lay the Brewer cold. Tri.
city bugs say that If Mcmahon steps
the way he did In his last Rock Is
land fight with Buck Sargent of East
Moline the fight will be one of the
best on the bill as the Milwaukee boy
is not new at the game and will
make Mcmahon work for points.
Tony Caponi fights tomorrow night
at Peoria but states that he will be
in the best Of shape for the fight
Thursday. He is scheduled to fight a
prelim with Kid Hale of Streator over
the six-round route. Tony has yet tc

Another prelim will be scheduled
for the card, but as yet Peanuts

manager Of Mike Dundee, has obtained
no boys. He promises to have vel

an extensive tour after the figh,
and will spend most of the time
in the east. Schieberl stated today

are among the enlisted army and
haven't yet reported their cases to the
clubs.
OF this number the American league
is away out in the lead with 81 men in

;,23. The individual clubs deserving OF
the most honor are the Boston Red
Sox and the Philadelphia Athletics.

This list of Is names doesn't in
clude many players who were selected
in the first draft and haven't yet been
called into active service. Neither
does it include names of men who
are almost certain to be taken on the
next call and compelled to 60 to army
camps during the summer instead OF
playing the national game. The next
call is supposed to occur about Feb
Is. Consequently. it would not be sur
prising if the major leagues alone
have as many as 125 players working
