A SECOND TERRY M'GOvERN

fight any man in the country at the eetherweIght limit.
 Conan is not alone open to meet all feathers but he will also battle light weights if they will weigh in at 183 ringside.
 Conan Is an English boy and is 9 brother of the famous Jack Conan who fought all the best men in the fighting games q few years back He comes of fighting stock, four of his other brothers being in the ring at the present time and one of them will hereafter be unable to fight because of being gassed ir the great world war that recently came to a, close.
 Conan was just fourteen years old when he had his first ring battle which was held in London, England. He fought Billy Rolph a, six round battle which was called 8 draw.
 His people did not know he was in the fighting game, and he had to get to the various clubs on the sly
 His next battle was with Ernie Lange and he made the trip to Liver pool of 230 miles oy freight. He went all the way alone and then fought a twenty round battle in which he licked his man on points.
 He fought quite a few battles on the other side before he decided to come to America, and he had been here but a year before he tried to- join the American Army. He was turned down because of his age and enlisted in the Canadian Army by faking it. l. While in the army he fought the best men there were and consequently won the bantanaw fight championship of the army.
 While in England he fought Jimmy Wilde, the flyweight champ a six round exhibition and after the fight 1 Wilde said himself that he would some day be 8 champion.
 According to his manager, Toby Owens, he is a second Terry NTcGov- l ern. There have been numerous man ,agers come out all over the country 1 with the same announcement that this is the nearest one to the terrible Terry that I have seen is the way tIaat his manager expressed it.

NEVADA MAY BIG
 GET TITLE SCRAP
Legislature Expected to Ap- prove 25 Round Decision. Was Scene of Two Famous Battles.

Nevada, was regarded as a possible battle ground for the W-iilard-Demp- sey fight when word reached here to- day of the favorable action by the Ne Vada Senate in passing an amendment to the anti-prize fighting law to per init twenty-five round boxing contests to 8 decision. The Senate passed the measure by a vote of 10 to 5, and it will come before the House today. The Assembly has already voted in fa- vor of the bill. In it's original form the bill provided for boxing matches of twenty-five rounds to a decision. This latter was amended in the Senate to prevent contests between white men and negroes.
 Unofficial advices declare that Gov. Boyle is in favor of restoring boxing in Nevada and 1t is said that his sig nature will be affixed as soon as final action is taken in the State LegisIa- ture. As yet however. the chief ex- ecutive of the state has made no state nent-
 If no unforeseen opposition develops 1t Is probable now that the Willard Dempsey match will be held in the sage brush state. Rickard promoted the Gans-NeIson fight in GoIdfeId, placing that mining community on the map. He also promoted the Johnson Jefries fight, in which the black champion tumbled Jeffrtes fnfifteen rounds. With practically all other fields barred. Rickard will proba bly select this spot.

New York, Feb. 22.-when is a manager not Q manager? And why :: These questions are agitatinS the mind Of Bert Niehof who isn't quite sure whether he is at present q Giant in fielder or tho manager of the CoLuIn- bus club of the American AssoclaNon- The circumstances which led up to the dilemma in which Bert finds himself were as follows:
 One day last week John McGraW heard that Joe Tinker planned to de- vote his time to handling the business affairs of the Columbus club this year and was in search of a manager for his team. Therefore, John, who is the best little provider of managers the game has ever known, promptly wired Joe, recommending Niehon for the job and adding that if Joe wanted Bert he would be glad to give him his unconditional release. Back came Tinker's reply, to wit:
 Glad to get Niehoff. Thanks for vour kindness in the matter" Tiahoff strolled into the Giants of- fees yesterday and McGraw greeted him with:
 "Congratulations, Bert! Wish you luck out there!'
 .'Where?'' asked Bert, blankiy. s'Why, in Columbus" said Mac. Didn't you know you'd been ap- pointed manager of the Columbus club? I recommended you to Tinker, and Benny Kauff, who was in here yesterday, said the Columbus papers carried the story of your appointment on Monday
 Bert scratched his head, a. perplcxed look on his well know face. That's funny" he said "I received a letter from Tinker day or two ago in which he said he'd be glad to have me o1av out there. but that he had an- i other man in mind for the job as man. ager."
 1 McGraw then flashed Tinkers tele- | gram on Niehoff, which caused Bert i to resume scratching his head At a | late hour last night both Nlehot and i McC>raw were very much up in the air 'corcarning Bert's exact status, and both are now awaiting further advices | from Tinker.

A MARINE MASCOT.

Jimmy" was an anteater, adopted as mascot by the Id Company of U- s. Marines down at Vera Cruz. as Is related in the short story Squeak" ." by Theodore Niver, of the U. s. Ma rine Corps, in the March Boys Life. Jimmy accompanied the Marines to France, where he was their first cas- ualtv, as thus related:
 "As darkness was falling one eve ming Jimmy left his dugout 10 explore the front line. He returned about midnight. feeling like a veteran, and turned in. Tn the early morning a trench rat came out of its camouflag- ed den, walked right up to Jimmy, took a bit at him and the fight was on.
 "It is believed that during the strug- gle the rat called for endorsements. for Jimmy was forced to call for a barrage. When the supply of shoes and steel helmets was exhausted and an inspection made of the battle grouuG, the wounded numbered about half a dozen. There were also sever al large pieces of rat lying around and 8 goodly quantity of Jimmy's fur. Of course, Jimmy emerged victorious plus a good sized wound on his lert Toreleg, but minus, alas, his good dis position.
 "Yet, in spite of the anteater's i'll temper, Squeak had stood faithfully by his furry pal, ministering to his hurts, tying a wound Chevron on his right foreleg and feeding him on a special diet of assorted insects se> lected for their corp"lence and suc- culence. On long hikes Squeax car ried Jimmy in his gas mask bag and trudged along nonchalantly despite the extra avoirdupois."

HOLDOUTS ARE BOTHERINC THE
 YANKEE PILOT

New York, Feb. 22-The refusal of practically the entire Yankee team to sign contracts for the coming season was discussed at 8 conference held at the New York American offices yesterday among Co.'s. Ruppert and Houston, owners off the Yankees, and Miller Higgins, manager. Huggins arrived here from Cincinnati yester-
 day. He will make New York his headquarters until the Yankees leave
 for Jacksonville on March 21.
 With the start of the training sea-
 son only a month away the refusal of
 the Yankee stars to sign has become
 quite a problem. So far the only reg
 ulars whose contracts have been anz nounced by the local club are Outfield-
 CT Ping Bodie anad Catcher Herold Ruel. Harry Sparrow, business man ager of the team, showed a list of players yesterday who had signed con- tracts, but it included mostly young sters or men who will be let out be- fore the start of the season. Among the youngsters signed are the two sailors from the Great Lakes Naval
 Station. Ensign George HaIias, an outfielder, and Johnny Jones, an in
 fielder.
 The seasoned regulars, the real backbone of the team, so far have de-
 clined to sign. Among the unsigned players is the entire infield, Pipp, Pratt, Peckinpaugh, and Baker; out
 fielders, Lewis and Miller; pitchers. Leonard, Shore. Quinn Shawkey
 Mogridge and Fisher, and Catcher Hannah. Pitcher Shore called per sonauy at the Yankee office a fort
 night ago, when he said the terms of his contract were satisfactory, but ances.
 In order to meet the problem Hug gins said he will make personal trips to the homes of several of his lead
 ing players, while others would be in , vited to call at the local office to talk over their contracts. Just what players Huggins will call on or who will be asked to come to New York he refused to say.
 ''Yes, I will admit a lot of the boys have not signed" said Huggins after his talk with Ruppert and Houston. q intend to have personal talks with
 some of them, either in New York or
 at their homes, and I expect to see the
 entire club lined up by the time we go to Jacksonville.
 ''I have. not heard from Frank Baker since I. called on him in the
