Fighting ability is not confined to

come Of the present day team pilots DO

leaders who could give the best OF the
Oueensberry stars all they desired.
There are at least two of the present
crop OF managers who can hold their
own with any OF the boxers In a rough
and tumble scrap, without the aid OF
"a referee or seconds.
The managers who have ruled their
players by peaceful methods greatly out
number the comPative element, and IN
order to classify them they are grouped
under the heads OF belligerent and con-

wanted to Lick Corbett.

Nv common consent Frank Chance, IN
the heyday OF his career as manager OF
tho pennant winning Cubs, Is conceded
TO have been the most pugnacious OF all
the baseball managers Of the past. while
Edward Barrow, whose Red Sox won
the American League pennant the first
season that he handled them, is said to
ne the peer of modern managers In the
matter of forceful disciplining OF his
players.
Conspicuous in Chances record is an
attempt to fight the former heavy
weight champion of America on short
notice and without reference 70 rinE
regulations On the other hand Barrow
Is known to have vanqu!shed one OF
the biggest and most quarrelsonre OF
the heavyweight boxers of a few years
ago.
When Chance tried 10 arrange bout
minus purse or paying spectators, with
James j. Corbett, eX-heavyweight cham
pion, the Chicago manager was very
much irritated over the outcome OF the
bout between Kid Mccoy and Corbett
at Madison Squape Garden on August
80. 1900. The Cubs were playing here
NJ the time and Chance. Clark Griffith
Jimmy Callahan and several other play
ers went 10 the Garden to see the con
lict. They paid s25 for box seats and
we're not enthusiastic over the combat
IN the ring.
As matter of fact Chance denounced
the battle as n fake and declared III

10000 paid for Mike Kelly.

The Boston club wanted 10 land the
National League pennant IN 1887 and
startled the baseball world b. paving
$4,000 to Chicago for Catcher Mike
Kelly. who helped the White Stockings
to win in 1855 and 1856. This deal
created as much OF sensation at that
time as some OF the present day sales
and trades Boston did uC' land the
pennant with King Kelly. the $4,000

Boston wanted the reuraut badly, and
as the club had plenty OF money in
1888 $4,000 was paid for Pitcher Clark
son Of Chicago. Here was another big
sensation. Kelly and Clarkson worked
hard that season. but Boston got no
higher than fourth place

Dunlap a bonus of $1,000 for signing

The custom OF buying ball players
dates back to the early sos. Although
the deals and prices paid were not az
large as az the present ltime, It may
interest some OF the present day fans
to recall some OF the famous deals OF
early days as the old time records show.
They created much interest then and
the press OF that decade had much TO
say pro and con. The sale custom fol-

made that players should sign contracts

THE NEW YEAR

Old Father Time, with hoary beard
And in his bright array.
Has led us round another curve
Toward that celestial day
When we shall face Almighty God,
A strict account to give
OF all the ways which we have trod
While on this earth we live.
The New Year marks the narrow
bounds
OF this terrestrial sphere;
How swift the days grow into weeks,
The months into the year
So fast now runs Old Father Time,
Why can't the people see
That soon he'll cross the border line
Into eternity!
Yet like an an idle tale we pass
Through each succeeding day,
And act as though we thought, alas !!
We had come here to stay.
Almighty God, TO Thee | pray
That soon the world may see
That for its acts and deeds some day
II must account to Thee.
oh, God, its throbbing heart,
And let the whole world see
That II should act the Christian part
And give this year to Thee.

German captive. He says that the
German soldiers do not know that
the United States have ANY troops in
France, and when be told his captive

German would not believe him. He
says the Germans are kept ignorant
of the fact that America has entered
