CONTRACTS FOR 1913 SEASON
 SENT TANKS

New York, Jan. s0-Good and bad news was sent out to the Yankee players yesterday in the form of baseball contracts. Harry Sparrow, the Yankee business manager dropped sundry envelopes into his mail chute yesterday afternoon, and within a few days the men who will represent New York In the American League in 1919 will know just where they stand.
 The sums which were written in the contracts were decided upon at q conference among Colonels Ruppert and Hustin and Miller Huggins, the midget manager. last week In view of present conditions in baseball, the probability is that much of the news will be Dad" to the players.
 Raises are very scarce in the new contracts sent out by big league clubs and the reductions are general. This applies to one league aS much as to the other. There also is & general edict out against holdouts. "If they don't like what we offer them, let them hold out" is the slogan of the club owners, the baseball market is loaded with talent"

 MARTO TONIGHT
Local Boy in Good Condition for Fight in Lowell
 Cohn Signs With Driver.

Up in Lowell tonight Louie Bogash will tackle Johnny Marto, a hard hit ting lightweight who boasts of an aw- full kick in either hand. This will be Lou's third appearance in the Massa- chusetts city as twice before h. was cheated out of the decision by an in competent referee. Both of these times he fought Pete Hartley and both times he was cheated out of the deci- sion- This time though the club has guaranteed him a square deal and it is not improbable that he will de- mand another referee.
 Sam Driver has taken another man under his wing in the person of John Issy Cohn, brother of Johnny Sharpe and Champion of the Canadian Army in the lightweight division. Johnny recently returned from Canada and has taken part in one exhibition since which was held in Derby where he made his brother take a few lessons in the manly art of defence.
 According to Johnny Pollock in the Kew York World Clay Turner caught cCsa while in training for his bout With Larry Williams of this city and rest. He will not fight again until he meets Tom Gibbons in Buffalo for ten rounds on Feb. 10.

SAN FRANTsCO'S BEGINNING.

The first settlement on the site of San Francisco was a mission estab- lished in ITS by Francisco Palon and Benito Cambon, two friars, and known as the Mission Dolores. Grad ually a village grew up about the mission, and the little community of pioneers was known as Yerba Buepa until, seventy-two years ago today. Alcalde officially changed the name to San Francisco.
 During that year the first school was opened, the first hotel was built, and a survey of the town was made by Jasper O'F'arreu. Two years after the birth of San Francisco the rush of '49 increased its population ten fold. The first steamship of the Pa c:fic Mail arrived in 1S49, and in the same year the Oregon brought the first United States mail and the first postmaster, John W. Geary. The first steamship between San Francisco and Sacramento began plying that year, and the city had its first great fire. Geary, the first postmaster, became the first mayor following the incor- poration Of the city in 1850. The first l of the famous vigilance committees | began its work in 1851. The first
 panic afflicted the city in 1855. The
 year 1880 was notable one for the Golden Gate City. for in that year the

FABLES THAT POINT MORAL
Vienna Journals Amusing Story of Imaginary Conversation Taking
 Place Between Two Horses.

Even while the world war was rag ing horse races were held as usual in the suburbs of Vienna, and the sport attracted large crowds, though the bet ting was not as brisk and as active as in times of peace. One of the news papers of Vienna-a publication enti- tied Peace-often made sarcastic con- ments on this, and in an issue of re- cent date, which has reached this coun- try, it contains an amusing article on what horses would say of the matter if they could talk. The imaginary con- versation between a mare and a stnl- lion. both participants in the races, follow:
 "Say, mare, how is it you stand for round-shOuldered colored monkey riding on your neck. digging sharp steel into your Hanks, at the same time whipping you viciously?"
 Don't ask such stupid question. It simply has to be-"
 "Why?"
 Because. We must suffer all and give up all-lungs, heart, muscles. nerves and even life to battle and win. That's horses privilege"
 But why should we battle and win?"
 First, to win the prize, and, sec end, for the sake of honor"
 But we do not get the prize nor the honor, either" "No, but when we win our master gives us kindly tap and strokes our mane, perhaps"
 "Ah, but in the heat of the race, when your breath is almost gone and you feel you can run no further and l you are about to drop, what are your 1 thoughts then?"
 "Then I simply say to myself: You must hold out; you must not give up, and the whip and the spurs keep me going"
 Did you never think of throwing your rider?"
 "Never. How can you ask such a I question? I am for him with heart and soul"

It vas in an American base hospital in France that I found him, his eyes bandaged, lying motionless on his cot. in 8 quiet corner of the ward. How would you like some chocolate ice cream?" I bent down to whisper.

PAT MORAN LIKELY TO
 TAKE UP MATHS WORK
Gets Permission of McGraW to Negotiate For Job As Manager of the Cincin natl Reds.

New York, Jan. S0.---Pat Moran. manager of the Phillies for three or four years and recently signed as coach of the Giants. will manage the Cincinnati Reds this year unless the unexpected happens in the next two or three days.
 AS q matter of fact 1t Is more than likely that Moran and Christy Math- eWson will change places if the latter gets back from France, where he is now a Captain in the Gas and Fi&ure Division of the United States Army before the season is far advanced.
 Moran came down from his home in Ftchburg yesterday and after con ference with John J. NcGraw took a train to Cincinnati. The announce Iment that he had been engaged ps manager to succeed Matty can be cx- Pected any hour today.
 Moran has not been released by the Giants, but NcGraw and the New York club generously granted permiS- sion for him to negotiate with the Cincinnati club in view Of the fact that Mattys return from France is so indefinite
 McGraw said yesterday: I've want ! Moran; in fact We need him to hol0 coach the team, and particularly tho 1 pitchers, but we could not stand iu | his way with the chance to have full charge of a team of his own. 1 When Moran asked permission to negotiate with Cincinnati we gladly gave our consent. and if he gets the appointment his release will follow in due course. If not he will return here as coach of the Giants"
 Moran carried the PhilHes to a pen ] lnant in 1915 and just missed repeat 1 ing in 1916 when the Brooklyn Robins won by the narrowest margin. Just
 before the annual meeting of the Ma ttonal League last December Moran was suddenly released by William F
 Baker and Jack Coombs appointeli il his place. The Giants then signeG

COURTNEY BACK
 AT CORNELL

Ithaca, N. Y, Jan. 30-All of Cor nelrs rowing activities ill the future will be directed by a trio of varsity Man Charles E. Courtney. It was also announced yesterday that Court ney will be assisted by John Collyer and John Hoyle.
 This trio of aquatic experts will have complete charge of coaching and training. not only of the varsity and freshman oarsmen, but also of the class crews This is the first time that sports not of an intercollegiate nature have come under the jurisdic- ton of the athletic association.
 Though the famous veteran is past the 70-year-old mark, he will be the chief executive. While his physical condition is not as sturdy as In the days he developed his marvellous crews of the past, he still retains the skill and science of yore. He plans to do as much active work as his health will permit for his heart is still with the sport that brought him worldwide fame.
 His two associates will relieve Courtney of many duties, but when 1t comes down to the finishing touches the old Courtney hand will be found present. The determination of the great coach to remain at the head o1 the rowing is welcomed by all inter- ested in Cornell. They figure it means the return of the days when the Ithacans swept everything before them.

PUT BOXING
 INTO BOSTON
 HIGH SCHOOL

Boston, Jan. 3o.---What is believed to be the first step in making boxing a regular course in the high s"hools of Greater Boston was taken Wednes- day in the Maiden High school when it was decided to conduct boxing classes twice a week for the pupils.
 Dave Morey, the old Dartmouth Col lege athlete, coach of the schools ath- 1etic teams, took up the matter with Thornton Jenkins, the principal. The school head thought we'll or the idea and authorized Mercy to organize his classes. Some idea of the popular hold boxing has on the student body can be gained from the fact that 100 students responded to the first call for boxing classes.
