Listen, you South Side fans, here are
glad tidings for you Jimmy Callahan
will continue to play in the left gar
den next year.
Ever since James "James," not "Jimmy," when talking of him fn his managerial capacity has been elevated to the "leadership of the Sox the question as to whether the great "comeback" play.er would again actively participate in the game next season has been a moot one. "James," as manager .answered the question for "Jimmy" as player yesterday.

BOSTON DEAL
Boston. Mass., Dee. 9. Everything was lined up here today for a big fight for the control of the Boston National league club, which has been on the mar'ket and an object of speculation since the death of William Hepburn Russell. The meeting of the directors is expected to settle the fate of the team. ' x Johnny Kling, the catcher of the
team,: is hailed by those on the inside as the man who will get control. Johnny came on from Kansas' City with the backing of western capital and is out
to buy a big block of the stock. He is after the controlling interest. There " will be i plenty of opposition. Boston men also are after the team and are said to- have offered $170 a
and got away with it. Coach Stagg of. Chicago does not agree with the eastern coaches in regard to a change in the football rules. Stagg says the present rules are all right. - , In the past four years Yale has not been able to cross Harvard's goal line and the Crimson, has been held this side of Yale's goal line. You couldn't wish for a more even break than that. Johnny Conlon and Frankie Burns should be able to put up a great battle for the bantamweight championship.

Abe Attell is going to fight Charlie White, Chicago's featherweight, after all, but the South Bend club, which has been angling for the clash, may lose it. Abe apparently prefers to take on Charles for six rounds, instead often, and has wired Manager Simons of one of the Pittsburg clubs that he will be willing fo work a few rounds with White the latter part of this month. Nate Lewis, who looks after the Chicago boy's Interests, 'though preferring South Bend, will accept the Pittsburg club's offer rather than lose the chance at the champion. For Charlie has met Abe twice before making a grand
showing both times. And he is getting better right along and wants the reputation that will come from another good fight with be boss of 122-pound-ers. Attell was offered a $500 guarantee and 35 per cent of the gross gate to box at South Bend, but refused, saying a ten-round mill was worth more money to him. The club told him his end probably wouldreach $1,000, but
declined to increase the guarantee after losing money on the O'Xeil-Schloss-
berg affair.
The chances are real bright, how
ever, for an early clash between this pair, with Pittsburg getting the plum.
which will be a big disappointment to Chicago fans who are curious to see
Attell-in action once more.
Lewis, on behalf of White, wishes to
have it announced that Charlie will box anybody up to 133 pounds after the
Attell fight, Freddie Welsh preferred. Kilbane and the other good feathers refuse to take aThance with White, so
he has decided to go out after bigger
game while idle.

University of Chicago gridiron stars have invented a new way to keep the' Midway victory ball rolling. The football heroes of 1911 gave an exhibition of their all-around athletic skill byshining In basket-ball yesterday at
Bartlett gymnasium when Coach Page put his squad thorough the first hard practice game with the freshman team. , That the football performers will have their laurels working this winter on the basket-ball floor "was shown
by their work fn the session. Clark, Sauer, Scruby, Freeman, Norgren and Paine of the football eleven were all at work, and they announced that more of their gridiron x colleagues had decided to come out for the team. "Red' Paine, one of the big surprises of the Midway football season at quarter back, and who is slated to appear again at center on the basket-ball team, practically' -elinched the Job by his showing, and Sauer did excellent work at forward, with Freeman at one of the guards. Norgren and Scruby, who have had basket-ball experience before, made good in this varsity appearance, and it Is possible the whole quintet will be made up of football players in some of the games. Chester Bell and Goldstein of last year's team are both stars and . are sure to keep their places for the championship affairs. Kassulker and Kennedy of the gridiron forces are tho other football artists expected to report.
' Hugh Jennings, manager of the Detroit Tigers and attorney-at-law in Scranton, Pa., has been retained by Edward and Stanley Papsch to defend them at their coming trial against the charge of having killed Felix Slesonskl. The Navy eleven has made a great showing the past two years, not having lost a game. Pennsylvania wants another big game next season, and will try to schedule a contest with either Dartmouth or Williams. f While Yale and Harvard were trying new tricks, Princeton played football that' was in vogue twenty years ago
