NOTES

TRADE BROWNS FOR SOX STARS? President Hedges of the St Louis Browns denies that he wants to trade three of his stars for two White Sox players. In a statement made at St. Louis last night Hedges said he would like to have Jiggs Donohue and Frank Smith, hut he wouldn't think of trading Howell. George Stone and Sid Smith for the two South Siders. Hedges furthermore averred that he never considered such a trade, and had not offered his star hitter and outfielder, one of his slab standbys and a pretty good catcher for the Sox first baseman and pitcher. "If I have to give up Stone. Howell and Smith for Donohue and Frank Smith, the trade will no go through," said the Mound City magnate.

B1ARTO PUNCHING BAG FOR DRISCOLL

New Tork, Jan. 29. Jem Driscoll of

England simply made a punching bag

of Johnny Marto of New Tork In their ten round fight before the Fairmont

Athletic club last night. Marto was a

trong, willing fighter, but he was

totally outclassed in the matter of

speed. Marto was strong and aggressive all the. way through, but he only landed three or four blows that bothered Driscoll In any way. The fight was fast and both were about equally tired at the end. There is no doubt, however, that Marto could have lasted as long as the Briton, unless the latter succeeded In closing both of Marto's eyes. Driscoll closed one and made frantic efforts to shut the other, but

did not succeed.

GANS, ILL, CALLS OFF FIGHT WITH ERNE

NOTES OF THE BOXERS

John L Sullivan will start for a tour

of the world next Sunday and expects to be gone for nearly a year. He will

go by way of Vancouver. George Memsic, who is training at the East Side Athletic club of Los Angeles, thinks he will win from Freddie Welsh in the bout of next Tuesday evening. It is said Welsh has not been overly strict in his training. Jimmy Coffroth of San Francisco wants to match Packey McFarland and Battling Nelson for March 17 and Nelson has wired from West Virginia that he will accept. Coffroth also wants McFarland and Welsh for Feb. 22.

Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 23. Freddie

Welsh and George Memsic each put in

several hours of hard work today in preparation for their ten round fight at the Pacific A. C. next Tuesday night. a" big crowd was out to watch Memsic go through his paces at the East Side Athletic club. The Chicago boy gratified the onlookers by boxing several lively rounds with his sparring partners and putting In plenty of hard licks at the gymnasium apparatus. There is no denying the fact that Memsic Is in better shape than he has been for months. Ever since he was bested In a ten round fight by Ruddy Unholz Memsio has looked pale and drawn, and In none of his fights since then has he hone himself justice. Now his flesh Is hard and firm, his cheeks are rosy and he looks fit for the hardest kind of a ring argument.
