from again. Jess arrived in Chicago
yesterday to meet Tex Rickard to dis
cusS the terms of a match for the
heavyweight championship. Jess says
that he is in earnest in the matter
and that he does not care who is Sc

wants is a purse which in his opinion
will ~ amply compensate him for the
trouble of training.
Willard admitted that he would
like to try conclusions with Georges
Carpenter. the champion of Europe

ORIOLE BOUT
AWAITS FANS
Conway Meets Burman in
Star Battle of Triple A
Club Tonight.

The American Athletic Association
of Baltimore, has arranged another
great boxing card for tonight. to take
place at Albaugh's Theater in the
Monumental City. Washingtonians
have been going over to Baltimore in
large numbers for the weekly shows
and in as much as the bouts have all
been put on very promptly, the num-
ber of fans has been increasing right
along.
The club has matched Joe Burman,
the sensational Chicago bantam
weight. and stablemate of Pal Moore,
for a twelve-round decision scrap with
frankie Conway, of Philadelphia, the
star attraction. Burman has cleaned
up in every one of his Baltimore fights
and is one of the most popular boxers
who has ever visited that city. He is
a slashing fighter and looked upon by
hosts as the probable successor of
Pete Herman to the bantam-weight
title. Burman is a legitimate bantam
weight and has every requisite that
goes to make a title-holder.
The boy he meets tonight should
make him extend himself to the limit.
Rurman and Conway hooked up in
Philadelphia less than a month ago
and a sensational six-round draw re-
suited. Both boys were anxious for a
setto over a longer route and tonight's
clash is the outcome.
Champion Pete Herman has been in
vited to come down from Philadelphia
as the guest of the American Athletic
Association. The club IS endeavoring
to book him with the winner.
Two cight-rounders have been
booked as special attractions. frankie

will clash with Patsy McFadden, of
Allentown, in one. and Buck Taylor, a

other. Two four-rounders will start

ing of Carpenter, Willard would be
willing to fight Jack Dempsey or any
other man selected for him
Jack Dempsey in the meanwhile is
training lighting eye on the
Middle-West metropolis. The thump-
ing one is anxious TO perform his one
round speciality with Willard as the
victim. He thinks he can win from
the Kansan, and there are many
who share his belief. Dempsey has
been rushing along making fist marks
on the chins o his opponents. and
is recognized today as the uncrowned
king of the bi. fellows

Johnson's Battery Mate.

Val Picinich, the young catcher
whom Clark Griffith regards as
one of the coming star maskmen of
the game, so good in fact that he
may become Walter Johnson's bat
terry partner this season, was at
one time owned by the Yankees.
When Street was traded by WASH
ington 1t was said that Johnson
would hardly get another catcher
to hold his speed so well. but Eddie
Ainsmith stepped in and did the
trick to perfection.
Now Picinich is to get his oppor-
tunity and Griffith insists that he
will shine. The Yankees gained
title to Picinich's services while
he was a collegian, but later de-
livered him to Connie Mack as part
of the deal that sent Rube Oldring
to New York. The young catcher did
considerable work for Mack. but
was turned back to the minors for
development and Griffith got him
from the Atlanta club.

All the Liue Ne,0s and Vie,Ds of the Sporting World
To Exonerate Chase?

New York, Jan. 23.-Basehall
insiders said yesterday that after
hearing the alleged evidence
against Hal Chase next week
President Heydler, of the Ma
tional League will exonerate the
noted first baseman. 1t is re-
ported that the charges of sharp
practice lodged against Chase
will not be sustained by legal
proof and that the player will be
: declared a free agent. In that
event Chase may be signed by
the Giants. He has been pro-
testing his innocence for several
months and desires a public hear
ing. Heydler. however, has been
instructed to lock the doors on
the star chamber and record the
evidence in private. Why not ad-
nit the reporters and turn on the
light?

TECH EXPECTS
GREATER TEAM
Georgia Has Prospects for
Even Stronger Eleven in
1919 Than in 1917.

Georgia Tech expects an even
greater team in the fall of 1913
than that which represented her
last year or even in 1917. which was
generally considered the greatest
product of her gridiron history.
That the management believes it
will be able to play Joe Guyon an
other year is plainly indicated. Foot
ball prospects and attitude on
Guyon's eligibility at the Atlanta
institution are contained in the fol-
lowing: Indications point to the
1919 Georgia Tech eleven being even
greater than the Golden Tornado
Of 1917. Coach Heisman and As
sistant Coach Wood will be back at
the helm, while only two of this
years eleven are likely to be alb
sent. Word has been received from
virtually all of the 1917 stars that
they would be on hand when school
opened next season. or that this was
the present intention. Quarterback
Albert Hill and Tackle Walker Car
pcnter are the only members of the
great 1917 eleven who. it is GER
tain, will not be back. Both have
played their four years and there
fore will not be eligible to play in
1919.
OF this years eleven only Joe
Guyon. the great Indian back. is
doubtful. Joe's case depends en-
tireIy on the ruling of the National
intercollegiate Athletic Association
as to whether this years play
counts or not If they decide that
il does not the Southern Intercol-
Icgiate Athletic Association will
probably take the same action and
Joe can play on the 1919 Yellow
Jackets Coach Heisman's main
difficulties in selecting his 1919
eleven will probably be in picking
the best men for the respective
places. He's going to have an over
plus of material. all experienced.

He was sent to the Minneapolis
club for further seasoning and came
back to the major leagues as a mem

joined the army. He went overseas
