MACK WILL BE
1918 PILOT OF
BOSTON TEAM!

Connie Mack will manage the
Boston Red Sox the coming sea-
son!
This rather startling piece of
news is not verified; still it's the
latest rumor that has invaded the
baseball world. The sensational
report comes from an authorize
tive source, and judging from the
many weird moves in the diamond
sphere recently is just as apt to
happen as not. ~
1t is said that Jack Barry will
still be in the service of Uncle
Sam when the season starts.
Therefore, as Connie Mack dis
posed of practically his entire team
to Boston, it is possible he will be
with them when the umpire calls
''PIay Ball.
Needless to add, Harry Frazee,
the owner of the Red Sox, denies
the tale.

LEvINSKY
AND BRENNAN
AT BOSTON

Boston, Jan. 16-Because Bill Bren-
nan of Chicago refused to box unless a
draw decision was declared in his
bout with Battling Levinsky last night,
the contest ended a draw, with both
men on their feet at the end of twelve
rounds. Both boxers and their man
ayers are to be barred from the club.
There was very little fighting and
the prevalent opinion was that it was
a fake all the way. The crowd threw
lemons, apples and everything else
that was handy at the boxers, who
wrestled and stalled through one of
the worst exhibitions yet perpetrated
here. Some time ago Brennan got a
draw decision with Levinsl1y here, but
Levinsky won by big margin. A
New York referee was imported then
by Brennan's manager
The trouble started early in the ev-
ening when Brennan telephoned for
President Miah Murray of the Armory
A. A. He insinuated that his manager
was not on the level and that he would
not enter the boxing club unless he re-
ceived $500, Murray refused, and
Brennan announced that he would
take the next train out of the city.
After some wrangling Murray got
Brennan to the club. Brennan de-
manded that Billy Roche of New York
referee in place of Maffitt Flaherty OF
Boston. The club would not stand for
an outside referee, and the result was
an agreement went with Flaherty in
the ring that if the boxers were on
their feet at the end OF twelve rounds
it would be a draw

MORAN Hopes To
TRIUMPH BY K. 0,

Frank Moran is confident that he'll
knock out Fred Fulton when they
meet in a 20-round bout at New Or
leans on Feb. %.
Moran is convinced that he will
bring Fulton down with a Whack to
tie jaw. when it is popularity supposed
that Moran would resort to body
punches, as he did in the first Coffey
fight. Things wePe looking mighty
blue for the big Pittsburgh fellow
when he suddenly drove one solidly
to Coffey's ribs. and then they count
ed James Joseph out, for the was a
mark for Mary Ann" then.
Moran advances this argument as
to why he will surely stop Fulton:
I've been outpointed in 10 round
bouts, but in all of them I was COM
ing strong at the finish, and in many
cases my opponents were entirely
blown and primed for a knockout.
The distance was always too. short for
me. I'm primarily a long distance
| fighter.
True, Fulton stopped Gunboat
and the latter outpointed me, but
would have stopped him, too in g
couple of extra rounds. Stop him
that's the thing Fulton is faster thar
I am, perhaps. but I am surer anG

COLIN
AUCTIONED OFF
FOR $500

Lexington, KY, Jan. 16-U1timuS,
a son of Commando. brought S26, 900,
and Colin, the unbeaten son of Com
mando-Pastorelia, brought only
$500 at the dispersal sale of the
Wickliffe Stud, owned by j. W. Cor
rigan, here yesterday afternoon.
It turned out to be one of the big,
gest sales in the history of the thor
oughbred turf, as 1877 race horses,
stations, brood mares and yearlings
brought a total of $227,775, an av-
erage of about $1,700 head
Not since the dispersal of the Mar
Gus DAILY horses in Madison Square
Garden on Jan. 80, 1901, has the de-
mand been so strong for racing and
breeding stock.
The prices were far in excess of the
fondest hopes of the auctioneer, &C
cording to his own statement, while
owners and breeders were on hand
from all parts of the United States
and Canada and one of the biggest
crowds on record gathered about tbs
ringside.
W. B. Miller Of New York paid TOP
price of the sale when he bid $26, 000
for the stallion Ultimus, a horse bred
by the late James R. Keene.
Surprise was expressed when the
unbeaten Colin was in such slight de-
mand. Capt. P. M. Walker of Vir-
ginia led him off on a bid of $500,
and in the opinion of many got the
bargain of the sale.
Emil Herr set his heart on buying
Marion Hood, an imported mare by
gon-Maid Marion, and finally
got her for SIT 900.
A yearIing by Playmate,
which has been named My Friend,
also was in great demand, and after
spirited bidding was knocked down
to H. A. Porter of Tulsa, Okla, for
s12,SOO. The same man also bought
Ultima Thule, which ranked well up
among the two-year-olds last year,
for ST 400 He is a son of Ultimus.

CORNELL IN FALL

New York, Jan. 16-New York
University's football schedule for 1918
has been announced by Director of
Athletics Frank H. Cam. It is one
of the best in years.
Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute,
which usually holds the top position
on the Violet football schedule. has
been replaced with the eleven OF
Swarthmore. This college has never
been met on the gridiron by the local
team, and much interest will be CEN
tired upon this game. Both Haverford
and Maryland State make their APP
pearance on the list after an inter-
mission Of one year.
By far the most important develop
ment on the schedule is the game ar
ranged with Cornell at Ithaca, No
vember 9. This game comes only
four days previous to the game with
Trinity.
The schedule follows:
October 5, Swarthmore at Swarth-

ALEXANDER
PLACED IN
DIVISION |

Chicago, Jan. 16-Grover Cleveland
Alexander, one of the greatest pitch
ers in baseball, has, been drafted. He
was placed in Glass /, Division A, &C
cording to kilograms received yester-
day from Lincoln, Neb.
Eyes, I'm drafted. I received my
notification yesterday" said Alexan-
der at his home at ST. Paul. Neb. Il
wired -Weeghman yesterday afternoon
and haven't heard anything yet, so
can't say how this will affect my
transfer from the Phillies to the
Cubs
81 didn't intend to play this sum-
mer, anyhow, after I failed to get my
part of the purchase money. I don't
know what my chances are for getting
that money, so don't know what diff
ference the draft will make"
Are you ready to go?" he was
asked to which he replied, ST am no
Stacker"
The drafting of Alexander will be
a severe blow to the Cubs. Under the
conditions of the purchase from the
Phillies it was agreed that if either
| he or Killifer was drafted at any time
previous to 80 days before the open
| ing of the 1918 season the transaction
for the player taken into the military
service Would be cancelled.
| Alexander had previously notified
Weeghman that he expected to be
placed in Glass 8, as his aged mother
is dependent on him.
! Close to $4,000 was involved in the
purchase of Alexander and killifer
What portion of this amount the
Philadelphia club will refund could
not be learned last night.
Will Alexander play with the Phil
lies,- after all, next April? This was
the question that circulated among
baseball fans in this city last night
when the report of the drafting OF
Alexander was circulated.
It was pointed out that title to tht
great pitcher now reverts to the Phil
adelphia club. Still, owing to conges
ton at various environments, the mel
liable under the new draft may no
be actually called into service fol
months. There is nothing to keep Pa
Moran from making a short term con
tract with Alexander and using hin
to bolster up the Phillies, at leas
during the first month or SO of the
season.
Weeghman might do the same thing
it was said, if he stands willing tt
pay more than $4,000 for a month o.
six weeks of pitching, and this, hi!
friends here said, he is too practica
to do.
Alexander will be 81 years old OF
Feb. 26, so that he is just inside th'
age limit of the Draft Law.

Laurens, Dec. 8.-Another Lau-
rens boy has been added to the roll
for distinguished service ON the
western front in France. This week
information was received to the ef-
feet that Lieut.. James Todd, of Com
pany D, 371st regiment, Ninety

conspicuous service in the battles in
the Argonne Forest from September

him after all the other officers had
fell or had been gassed, including
Capt. w. R. Richey and Lieut.. Thom-
as D. Lake, the latter being killed on
the morning of September 80. Lieut..
Todd is commended for intelll-
gence as well as for daring and
courage. The young lieutenant IS a

he was commissioned, at Fort Ogle-
thorpe in the first class for officers,
and after being stationed at Camp
Jackson for several months he was
sent over with the 371st regiment
which has given such fine account OIL
itself.

HOMES OF NEWSPAPERS BURN.
Flames Quickly Destroy Plant of
Both Papers in Spartanburg.

Spartanburg, Dec. with loss
estimated at $4,000 to the plant
and s25,000 to the building, the en-.
tire plant of the Spartanburg Herald
(morning paper) and The Journal
(evening paper), both of which have
been issued from the same building,
were destroyed by fire which began
at 1915 o'clock tonight in the base
ment of the three story building on
Magnolia street. The loss, covered
by insurance to the extent of 65 per
cent, is complete and it is believed
that hardly anything can be saved.
Before the fire was discovered it had
gained great headway and from the
first it was evident that the building
was doomed.
The Herald is being issued tomor-
row from the plant of Band & White,
printers. When the fire was first dis
red the basement and ground
floor of the building were completely
filed with smoke. Those on the
ground floor rushed out and
the alarm was sounded for
those on the second floor to
leave the building, which was
done by all in the reportorial
telegraph, composing and stereotyp-
ing departments. BY the time all
had escaped the entire building was
a mass of smoke and flames, several
of the employees managing to leave
the building just in time to escape
being overcome by the dense columns
of smoke which were pouring from
every opening in the building. A
child, the son of A. F. Perkins, o1
the composing room, asleep in the
basement, had some difficulty in
leaving the building. He was, how
ever, rescued.

KINGS WILL PAY VISITS.

guests in the near future President
Poincare, of France, King George,
of England, King Albert, of Belgium,
King Victor Emmanuel, Of Italy, and
the heads of any other nations Presi-
dent Wilson may visit during his
visit to Europe, Stephan E. Luzanne
editor of the Paris Matin, declared
today just before he sailed for
France. NJ. Luzanne has been in the
United States several months on an
official mission.
'*It has been a diplomatic custom
from time immemorable," NJ. Lu-
zanne said, that the head of one
government who entertains the head
of another invariably repays the
VISIT
While no official announcement OF
plans has been made, M. Luzanne de-
clared it was certain President Poin'
care would come to the United States
within the next year, as his term o1
office expires in 1920. No ofticia
announcement of plans will be made
he added, until President Wilson has
arrived in France and visited the
capitals of the various nations.
United States statesmen probably
will have to brush up on precedents
and formalities for state occasions
Mr.. Luzanne added, as the United
States never has received the heao
of a foreign government with the ex
ception of King Kalakua of the
Sandwich Islands.

manent lines which they expect to
finish in a short time when the elec-
tion will be called. The proposed new
county will embrace parts Of Barn
we'll and Hampton, about three
fourths of it come from Barnwell.
When the question was first agitated
a number of the leading citizens
placed a sufficient amount of money
to bear all expenses of establishing
the. new county and erecting the
public buildings, thus relieving the
taxpayers living outside of the town
of all financial responsibility.
