PAGKEY AMD WOLGAST

BILLED FOR GO FEB. 22 . i

Champion Concedes Irish-'If

man Two Pounds; O'Brien ; Will Stage the Fight. Packey MeFarland and Ad Wolgast. after a year of wrangling, are to get together. The lightweight champion and the south side Irishman will box six rounds befnre Jack O'Brien's Philadelphia club Feb. 22, the anniversary of Wolgast's victory over Nelson. A telegram saying that the match was on awaited Packey when he returned home from Memphis last night. Negotiations for a contest between the local boy and Ad have been under way for some time and the onl yhitch In the negotiations was over the weight question. The poundage has been keeping the two apart for months, but O'Brien in his wire last night stated that Wolgast had conceded MeFarland two pounds by agreeing to let him weigh in at 135 pounds at 7 o'clock, or three hours before the fight. Johnny MeFarland, speaking for the pugnacious end of the family; declared this match suited Packey to a T, and that Packey would hurry east to close all the details for the match and get In th best of shape for the clash with the champion. CALLAHAN WILL PLAY III SOX OUTFIELD, says com Old Roman Announces He Take Former Manager on Spring Training Trip. Jimmy Callahan is to-be a member of the Chicago White Sox this year and play in the outfield. That is. Owner Comiskey said yesterday he wants "Cal" to play with the team and is going to ask him to make the spring training trip to Mineral Wells, give him every chance in the world to get in shape and then put him In the outfield. It matters but little that Callahan and Comiskey haven't talked this thing over together yet. Before Commy returned from his fishing trip Callahan announced his retirement from the semi-pro game here and said he would like to play in the big league again and would give Comiskey first chance. "Cal" is a free agent and could si&n with any team he wants, but he feels because he obtained his release from Commy a few years ago that If he goes back into organized baseball he rightfully belongs to the Sox. Now the principal question is, "Can Cal come back?" He has been out of the big league for five years. You know Jeffries was out of the fight game for six years. But "Cal" has not been out of baseball entirely. He's been managing and playing with his Logan Sriuare team each Sunday and doing Just enough playing so that he appears to be just as good today as when he was hitting 'em out and fielding the high ones five summers back. ATTELL WILL RECOVER SOON; Cleveland, O., Feb. 1. Abe Attell, the featherweight champion of the world, will bo able to fight again in two months, although after his injury of last night in the bout with Tommy Kilbane it was feared he would never box again.

Gallagher, who attended him, said today he thought the champion would be back in the ring in two months and as skillful as ever. CHICAGOANS SIGNED BY GRAND RAPIDS Grand Rapids, Mich., Feb. 1.

DETROIT HAY SECEDE

FROM GRID CIRCUIT Late Dates Are Maintamed Micmgan Horsemen Will Kick. Detroit, Feb. 1. If the grand circuit stewards insist on keeping the dates outlined at yesterday's meeting in New York, the Detroit Driving club will secede from the "big ring" and form a new circuit with Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Columbus and Lexington as the other members. This plan was agreed upon by officials of the local organiza- . tion today. Detroit always has had an early date In the grand circuit, generally being given the first meeting. Last year. Kalamazoo was the starting point of the swing around the "ring." The dates as given out in New York place Detroit near the end of the ; schedule, the local meeting being as signed for Sept. 18-23, following Kalamazoo. 1 Detroit has given two of the biggest harness events of the American turf, ; the Merchants and Manufacturers' stake and the Chamber of Commerce stake, for years, and its secession would be a hard blow to the circuit. i As betting is prohibited at most of the tracks on the eastern end of the "ring" local horsemen believe a new circuit In the west, with Detroit as one of the members, woQld get most of the fast horses! The proposed "outlaw' racing body, if formed, will open here July 10. PURDUE FIVE DEFEATS INDIANA IN CLOSE GAME Bloomington, Ind., Feb. 1.

Indiana's defeat gives Pur due an undisputed claim to the confer ence title, as it has defeated Chicago, Wisconsin, Northwestern and Illinois. GARDNER AND KLAUS DRAW Boston, Mass., Feb. 1. A draw was the verdict in the twelve round bout in which Jimmy Gardner of Lowell and Frank Klaus of Pittsburg were the principals at the Armory A. A- here, last night. It was a hard fought con test. Klaus, while outpointed, deserv ed the consideration he received in the decision of a draw because he was the aggressor all the time.

Bill Earnhardt of Memphis gets it by making his men like him, and Charley Frank of New Orleans wins pennants by not having any discipline and by firing every man who makes a fool ot himself." Wilbert Robinson, the former Baltimore backstop, will go with the Giants to Marlin, Texas, and coach the young catchers. The Boston Red Sox will leave for the Pacific coast about Feb. 18. The entire squad will train at Redondo Eeach, Calif. Catcher Thomas, now with the Boston Americans, will get the opportunity to perform against his old team In Oakland, Calif. Owner Watkins of the Indianapolis club figures that his young pitcher, George (Lefty) Craig, will be the sensation of the American association. American league umpires need have no fear of Bowser signed by the White Sox. It is said that he never as much as grows at any decision. Hugh Jennings witnessed a bull fight in Mexico recently, and now should be able to dodge the "bull," when it is tossed by the Detroit players. President Murphy of the Cubs would like a change in the present rule so as to allow a batter his base on three balls Instead of waiting for four. The fight to' adopt a new official league ball in the National league has caused Garry Herrmann and Stanley Robinson to resign from the rules committee. Manager Chase of the Highlanders believes that he has cinched a star in Third Baseman Elliott. The third sacker did good work with the McKeesport O. and P. team last season. Bill Phillips, the veteran pitcher, has been offered a Job to act as scout for the St. Louis Americans, but Bill will most likely manage a team in the Central or the O. and P. league. Manager Tommy Ryan Is trying to arrange a bout for his "hope," Con O'Kelly, and either Sandy Ferguson or Jim Barry. The LaVendor Cigar is a home product. None better. Hammond, Indiana
