vALCER TO BOX JOEY FOX NEXT
 MONDAY NIGHT

New York, Jan. 3O.---On Monday night, before the Newark Sportsmen's s club, Benny Valger, the French feath- erweight, will engage in an eight round contest with Joey Fox, the English featherweight champion.
 Johnny KtIbane, the American and worlds champion in this class, has come forth with 8 statement that Benny Valger must first dispose of Fox, before he consents to defend his title against the sensational French champion. Benny is training with the greatest of care for this bout.
 Many fistic experts throughout the country are of the opinion that Valger will score a knockout over KiIbane should they ever clash. Hence, Val ger will do his utmost to trounce Fox on Monday in order to earn the cham pionship bout with Kilbane for March The French Flash is planning an at- tack which he expects will take Fox by surprise.

Jimmy Barry Fought
 Many Drawn Battles

Jimmy Barry, ferocious and hard hitting little fighter that he was. fought more drawn battles than any other champion in ring history. It was twenty-three years ago today that that Chicago bantam defended his title against Sammy Keller n New York, the two little fighting cocks going 20 fast rounds to a draw.
 Barry won the bantam title in 's4 by knocking out Casper Leon, an Italian scrapper, in Letnont, III.
 The next year Leon held him to a draw in IA rounds at Chicago In 1897 Barry fought draws with Sammy Keller, Harry Harris,- Young Corbett. Johnny Van Hoest, George Stddons and Lew Agnew, but won the worlds bantam title by knocking out Walter Croot in London, the English boy. dying later.
 In 1898 Barry fought three draws with Casper Leon, seven of his nine bouts that year ended in draws.
 The following year Barry retired undefeated, just in time to save him self from a probable licking by Ter rible Terry McGovern, the Brooklyn boy who was then forging to the front.

Jeff Tesreau Thinks Pitcher Murphy of
 Dartmouth is Star

Jeff Tesreau, who now is the coach of the Dartmouth College baseball team, visited the headquarters of t1s former teammates, the Giants, in New York recently. The big fellow has kept his weight down by playing in dependent ball and looks just about as he did when he last appeared in the box for John McGraw's club.
 Last season was Jeff's first as coach at Dartmouth, but he acquitted him self so well that he was immediately engaged for this year. Tesreau ex- poets to turn out a winning team at Hanover this year, as he says that the material with which he will have to work is excellent.
 However, he dep1ores the passing of "Cuddio'' Murphy, who recently was declared ineligible for playing a game with a professional football team last fall. Murphy is quite d pitcher and Jeff had counted upon him to win consistently this year. Baseball practice in Hanover will start in the cage early in March.

EXTRA SPORTING NEVIS
FRANKIE BURNS WANTS TO COME
 BACK IN RING

New York, Jan. 3G.-The call of the ring is irresistible. There is an un- def1nable something besides the promise of pecuniary reward that lures the retired exponent of the manly art back into the roped arena, Attribute it to psychology, or what ever you will. The sporting archives are cluttered with the names of pus1nst1c prominents who essayed to return to the mitt game months. and oIten years, after they had an- nounced their retirement. Practically every scrapper of any note has at some time or another endeavored to stage "come-back." Coulon. Fitz simmons, Nelson, Jeffries, Wolgast- the complete list Is too voluminous to print. But the records fail to reveal the name of even one former great, or near-great, who succeeded in re- establishing himself in the first rank.
 Recently we have had Frank Mo- ran emerging from the tranquility of retirement to mingle with Fred Full ton. Then the news drifted east ward from Indianapolis that Jack Dillon, the Hoosier Man-KilIer of other days, is contemplating re-en- tering the ring.
 And now we have Franke Burns
 e1ii 'eisey Cllylle, ana one o1 Inc greatest bantams in the world T few years ago, inaugurating his come pack campaign tonight. The little 'Skeeter, who announced his retire ment when Johnny Kilbane clipped him on the chin last fal1-incidentaI- ly scoring the only knockout ever re- corded over the pride of Jersey City is not casting his fortunes in the ring again with the purpose of ob- taining additional supply for his cof- fers, for he is well fixed with this worlds gifts. That peculiar fascina- tion---that undefinaible 'something"--- that draws retired boxers back into active service, is responsible for Frankie's action. Verify, the call of the ring is irresistible.
