Fox to Box at
 Arena Monday

New Haven, February With his two star bouts already lined up, one showing Marty Fox. New York Hebrew slugger, Al Weill, match- maker for the New Haven Sporting Club has but to sign three more bouts before his card which Is to be presented at Music Hall. Court street, on next Monday night, is complete. Two eight-round star bouts will top the program, while two six-rounders and a four-round heat will complete the festivities.
 Fox. prime favorite here, and one of the hardest hitters ever 10 enter a. New Haven ring, will come under the ropes to meet Herman Heller, recent importation from Germany. and considered by many another Max Schmeling. The other feature bout performers will be Irish Tommy Jarrett Hill favorite, and Jackie Pilkington, Meriden light weight punching master. This bout looks to be great battle as the box ing fans in this city know the quail ity of punching power these two lads have behind their punches and a slugfest is sure to take place.

Since the day of these two an- nouncements, followers of the game have been looking for the shake up" which the new pilot promised.
 Up to the present time, however, no shake-up has been apparent in the Chicago club, except the acqui- sition of four pitchers and the re- lease of several men to the Los Angeles Pacific Coast league club in payment for Ed Baecht, "iron- man" of the Los Angeles pitching staff. Besides Baecht, Hornsby ob- tained Bob Smith of the Braves, Les Sweetland of the Phillies and the ancient Jakie May of the Gin cinnati Reds.
 Weak Pitching.
 Weak pitching. more than any, thing else, kept :he Cubs from win ming the National league pennant in 1880. and why Hornsby should sign three hurlers who are no bet ter than average. is not apparent It was thought he may have done this for the purpose of using the men later on in a trade, but with the training season opening soon, no trade rumors have been heard on the North Side.
 Last seasons pitching staff ASOOls Ioluhc, MdlOIle, buSn, OSDOrn and Teachout, has been added to by the signing of the four hurlers mentioned above. At best, this group can be termed only fairly good. One of Hornsby's first tasks is to groom at least three of these men to be able to stay on the mound for a full nine innings something very unusual in the last edition of the Cubs. One bright spot is the fact that the peppery Gabby Hartnett will be behind the bat again. Hartnett beyond a doubt is one of the best catchers in the National league. His great est rival in the catching depart ment is the peerless Mickey Coch- rane of the champion Athletics.
 Grimm and Kelly.
 At first base the Cubs have Capt craze, but not the first baseman he was two years ago, and George Kelly. obtained from Minneapolis last season. Kelly is a ten-year man and may not be a member of the Cubs when the season gets underway. Grimm cannot stand up under the strain of full playing schedule.
 Hornsby insists he will play at second. This remains to be seen, but in the event he changes his mind the spot will be filled by Clar- ence Blair. an in-and-outer of no unusual ability.
 Shortstop will be patrolled by Woody English. one of the finest infielders in the game. English shows up equally well at short or third and may be alternated at these positions with Clyde Beck.
 At third Eornsby plans on Les Bell. Bell was handicapped last year with a bad arm which slowed him up.
 The outfield will be patrolled by Wilson and Cuyler, two stars of the day, in center and right, and possibly Johnny Moore, a two-sea- son rookie working in the long Chicago left field. Stephenson probably will be retained as pinch hitter.

Lord who was forced to cancel two previous return engagements with Patsie is all het up about the bout which he thinks will be as easy for him as Farmer Lodge was for Primo Camera. McGrath on the oth- CT hand is giving his educated left jab plenty of work these days in train ing as he realizes that Lord was an easy sucker for it in their first meeting. Whether Eddie will be the same this time remains to be seen.
 Harmon vs Latanzio
 Showing in the semi-final bout scheduled for ten heats is Jackie Harmon, local French idol, who meets Freddie Latanzio of New York in what should be a hum-dinger of a setto. Local fans are convinced of Harmon's ability and also should know that the New Yorker has de- feated Pete DeGrasse, Black Bill and Sammy Gelber.
 Good Prclims
 In a six rounder showing two local pugs, Red" Garren opposes Connie Mello in which the fur should fly high, wide and plenty. In four rounder Nal Carta of Middle town does battle with Jack Mitchell of Naugatuck while the opening bout of four rounds will show Tony Laverio, hard hitting Bristol leather pusher, swapping blows with Joe Cassillo of Schenectady, noted for his K. O. record. This bout will get underway promptly at S:30 o'clock.

.KAPLAN'S VICTOR
 MADE ' TO 5 BET TO REPEAT SUCCESS

New Haven. Feb 3.-(SpeciaD-
 Jack Portney, Baltimore'sc Italian
 southpaw has been established z
 to 5 favorite over Louis (Kid) Kap- Ian of Hartford by the betting gen.
 try along New Ravens cauliflower
 alley as they finish their training for their return meeting in the ring of the Arena A. c. tomorrow night.
 While Kaplan appears to be in as good shape as he ever has been for fight, the wise boys figure Port ney's southpaw style, will give the former featherweight champion so much trouble that Louis the Kid will be unable to pull himself through to . greatly desired victory. Louie Second Choice. Connecticut ring fans will be wit nesses of fare occurrence in Nutmeg ring with Kaplan on the short end of the betting but that won't bother Louis the Kid in the least for the former worlds feather weight champion has his heart set on reversing the tables on Portney this time by a decisive margin and.
 what is more, he feels certain he
 is going to accomplish his aim. Kap-
 Ian is primed for a hard fight and loaded for hear and means the Bal timore Italian will have to show everything he has if he can hope to walk away with another victory over the BuZZsaw.
 Kaplan's well known trouble with southpaw fighters is what has in- fluenced the betting odds but ring fans who plan to wager a little on the outcome of the bout don't want to forget that Kaplan knocked out a southpaw, Danny Kramer. to win
 the worlds featherweight title and then manhandled another, Andy Callahan of Boston at Madison
 Square Garden. Knowing Portney's style thoroughly, Louis the Kid is
 just as apt to hand the Italian a
 lacing as not. Especially since the
 Hartford Hebrew has his heart on | wiping out the stain of that previ | ous defeat.
 Word from Baltimore indicates
 Portney is supremely confident of
 his ability to hand Kaplan another ltrouncing. Portney has been sharp
 ening his left hand for two weeks in preparation for the fight and figures Kaplan will be an easy victim. The
 Italian. like Kaplan, is a mauler and
 that should bring out plenty of
 rough and tumble milling through out the encounter.

KETCH|KANER DESIGNS
 0NE MAN QUARTZ MILL

The Alaska Foundry at ketchl- kan has made castings for a mlll designed from a patent owned py Alex. Liljegren, an employe o1 tlae Northern Machine Works, reports the Chronicle.
 The idea carried out by the owner of the patent was to design a mill which would be within the means of prospectors for taking out values from the viens as they went along and thus help them to 1ln- ance development work.
 The mill will soon be set up ana a test run of quartz will be made Mining men are interested and state that it will prove great boon in stimulating prospecting In case it comes up to expectations.
 In Southeastern Alaska and also in other parts of Alaska it is known that there are many small propo- sitions" which do not justify the expense of extensive operations and which do not interest mining men of large means. In few instances miners have been known to make wages" by pounding the rock by hand. The mill, it is claimed, can be set up for nominal cost and with the aid of water power will crush the rock and save practically every bit of gold.
