MAY LAND PRATT
Everything Seems to Indicate That Browns InficIdcr Will Yet Go to Yankees.

St. Louis, Jan. 22.-That Derrill Pratt, second bascman of the local American league baseball team would soon be a member of the New York Yankees, was the report current here yesterday Pratt was to have been the central figure in a trade to be made yesterday, but the non-arriVal of Miller Huggins, the new manager of the Yankees. forced the deal to go over one day. Cleveland and Washington owners also are in the field for Pratt, and the owners of the Browns declare that the player will go to one of the three clubs, which means that Pratt's stay in St. Louis is ended.
 The Yankees have made a deter and it seems certain that the New York club has the inside track. Philip Ball, president of the Browns, has refused to consider any deal in- volving Pratt until the suit for slan- der filed by Pratt and John LaVan has been settled in court. However, it seems that both parties to the suit are willing to settle it out of court, and, following this. Pratt will be traded. President Ball has said he wants players and not cash for Pratt, and it is sure that the Gan- kees have the players needed to help out the Browns.

MACk'S NEW MEN
 MAY CAUSE TROUBLE
Gregg, Thomas and Kopp in No
 Hurry to Sign Contracts

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 22.--Before Connie Mack starts in on his 1913 horror, he is likely to have trouble getting Van Gregg, Chet Thomas and Merlin Kopp into his fold AS the long, lean leader always says that ho doesn't care to have dissatisfied play CTS on his club, it is possible thatFnot one of the trio will be with the Mack men next summer.
 Not a word has been heard from Gregg, Thomas, or kopp regarding the big deal that swung them from Q contender to a huge guffaw overnight, but now rumors are going the rounds that, for one, Van Gregg is not de-' lighted with being sidetracked at Phily adelphia. <.
 Gregg worked hard last season at; Providence for chance to pitch for the Red Sox. He led the International Leagues hurlers in effectiveness, and good judges of baseball predicted great season for him with the Red Sox to support him in 1918. But the Red Sox are not going to support him. Nobody is, except the Mack men, and they'll have trouble SUD- porting themselves.
 
 going to try to train any youngsters this year He is on a hunt for sea- soned players, including first base man, second baseman, third haseman, two catchers, and at least three more pitchers. Bodie, Jamieson and Kopp, if he reports, will be in the outfeld Joe Dugan alone remains for infield work. Schauer and Elmer Myers are the two pitchers left to Connie.
 The Ma2kian leader is still at It. He has given unconditional releases to Bill Meyer catcher; Jim Parnham, pitcher, and Frank Griffin, first base man, with a shift to Dallas, Tex, whence he came to fast company, of Eddie Palmer, third baseman.
 Meyers release causes some Sur prise. as the backstop was second to Schang last year and looked good. tough not gifted with an oversupply of brains or hitting skill.

GOOD FOR YOU, ABRAMS
Eastern League Millionaire An nOuncCS That All His Players En- listing, ViN Get Part of 1918 Salary.
By Briggs

Portland, Me, Jan. 22.-Michael J. club of the Eastern league, has an nounced that all local players who enlist in the military service during the duration of tho war will receive the difference in salary paid by the government and that called for in the figures of their 1918 contracts. The offer has been authorized by Hiram Abrams, millionaire president of the club, and owner of chain of moving picture theaterS
 The Portland club is believed to be the first in baseball to make such an offer in an effort to encourage en- istmcnts While many major and minor league players have enlisted, none of them, as far as is known, will serve their country under such an arrangement.
 It was stated here that Bill Tamm, who played an outfield position last year, has enlisted in the aviation corps and will be the first player in the country to benefit under the plan. Ed. Murray shortstop and Frank Rrower, first baseman, are also in the service. Murray, however, is the property of the St Louis Browns while Brewer is q free agent. He broke his leg in his first appearance with the local club last season, com ing hero after the New York State league flew the coop. He has not played ball since.
 Portland is still keen for baseball and is anxious for the opening of the season. Some of the Eastern league magnates are opposed to this city owing to the long jump necessary. It's status will be decided at the next meeting of the moguls.

CHIC BROWN LOSES
 TO BATTLING kUNZ
So. NorWalk Champion Shows New HaVener Up in Slow Bout
lorious Feelin'?

New Haven, Jan. 22.-One of the most famous boxing series in New Haven pug!isitic history came to a dramatic close at the Arena last night when Battling kunz of South NOrWalk deCiSiVcly defeated his an- cient rival Chic Brown, of this city, in slow, but at times, spectacular, 20-round bout. The result came as a big surprise as well as a bitter dis appointment to Browns many ad- herents who had figured right along that he would remove this obstacle from his path and then be in po- sition to camp on the trail of more reputable game. Brown was out classed practically all of the way. He got away to a poor start and finished the same way Kunz outpointed Brown five to one, landed the clean CT punches and was justly entitled to the verdict. At the end of the bout Referee Dave Fitzgerald raised the Battler's right arm in token of victory.
 No harder blow has struck the To- cal boxing fraternity in recent years. When Brown taunted Worlds Cham pion Leonard and submitted to the first knockout of his career, the fans grieved. But the feeling at that time did not compare with the mournful l tones which emanuated at the con- 1 clusion of last nights scrap. The 1 fans had seen their ring idol fairly | beaten by his most bitter rival. 1 Brown, who had paved the way for 1 kunz's success, not only ran second best, but suffered the sting of seeing the former rise to the heights of his ] popularity in the formers home 1 town. II was a bitter pill to swallow any way you take it. Little Italy, as d result, is draped in mourning to- l day.
 Bout Not Exciting.
 l Last nights scrap was undoubted- l lv the poorest of the series There was plenty of action injected into the
 fray but the spectacular stuff was absent. Browns woefully poor show i ing may be attributed, in part to ! kunzs big weight advantage. Ref cree Fitzgerald had the time of his life in prying the fighters apart dur | ing the first half of the fight. kunz' s tactics annoyed Brown. At the close
 of the tenth round Referee Fitzger- | aid warned both Kunz and Brown that he would leave the ring unless | as much holding from that time on. Kunz showed to better advantage
 than in his previous scraps. He was
 shifty on his feet cool and deliber-
 ate and made all of his blows count.
 Many times during the fight he knocked Brown clear across the ring
 with hard blows to the stomach
 while the New Havener was shaken
 more than once as a result of stiff
 uppercuts to the jaw. Early in the
 fight Kunz played steady tattoo on
 Browns face and mixed them up
 with an avalanche of punches to the
 body which told on Brown as the
 bout progressed. Kunz also put
 forth a strong defense and managed
 to tie up Brown in knots whenever
 he appeared at all dangerous. Brown
 missed many apparently good op-

 opponent. Brown landed only a few lefty punches to kunz'S supposedly weak kidneys. None of them, how ever, seemed to unnerve the cham pion.
 Chic'S Eye Drapcd.
 The bout was marked by the ab- sence of the usual amount of claret, which is generally prominent when these two batters get together. kunz appeared none the worse after his long journey while Browns right eye was badly cut Broyn received the cut shortly after the opening of the twelfth round. Following a live ly exchange in the center of the ring kunz backed up against the ropes. Brown rushed forward, and kunz shot short right which caught the local lad souarely on the eye. Claret flowed freely from the wound there after, and partially blinded Brown. He was at a big disadvantage dur ing the remainder of the go.
 During the early rounds <unz picked up a big lead on points, mak- ing his long range blows count. He yas guilty of much holding, however, and in the eighth Chic pleaded with him to stand off and fight. The champion was satisfied to shoot over a blow or two and then rush into chnch. His punches packed plenty of steam. nevertheless and caused Brown no end of worry. After the twelfth round kunz held the whip hand practically all of the time. His uppercuts and straight smashes to the body could be heard all over the house.
 The only bright feature of Browns work was his willingness to assume the aggressive and swap punches. kunz did not take kindly to the swapping end of the game, however, and Brown seemed to lose heart and become disgusted. In the fifth, ninth and seventeenth rounds Brown showed to best advantage. In the seventeenth it appeared as though Browns left hand smashes to the body would do some damage. kunz, however, came back strong in tho eighteenth and more than held his own until the finish. In the twen- tieth round Kunz rushed out of his corner with a smile and took no time to shake hands. Instead he greeted Brown with a series of rights and left hand SmaShes which sent the latter nearly through the ropes It was Kunzs fight without a question of doubt.
 Pulls Rough Stuff" Kunz was saved from possible serious injury after the bout through the timely appearance of the police. A younger brother of Chic Brown , rushed into the ring and threatened kunz but the police pulled him away | before any trouble started.
 The Usual :sBIoomer." The semi final bout between Pete ] Hartley of Derby and Bobby North, l formerly of New York and now of , this city, was a bloomer. Hartley, 1 while not in the best of shape. was far too clever for North who acted l like a novice. After Hartley had l carried North for four rounds. Ref 1 cree Fitzgerald stopped the bout l North landed but two blows during the abbreviated bout and proved one of the juiciest lemons ever foisted on the local public. Hartley pun ished him severely about the body.
 It was a sad affair.
 Joe Currie of this city outpointed Battling Greene of Hartford ill the l six round preliminary bout. This l scrap turned out to be the best of l the night both boxers providing | lot of action aD the way. Greene
 gave Currie a stubborn fight until ! the final round when he weakened
