Champion Does First Work Since Operation; Hopes to Have Six-Round Go in April.

Los Angeles, Feb. 6. Ad Wolgast peeled for practice play at Jack Doyle's Vernon camp Sunday afternoon and for the first time since he was. stricken with appendicitis, last Thanksgiving day, pranced about- In his rlig togs. Wolgast weighed exactly 134 pounds when he started work, and at the finish of his j;hadow boxing, handball play and light bag punching the title holder had taken off two pounds. "I felt no inconvenience whatever," asserted Ad, "and am positive now that I will get back in the game just as strong and just as good as I ever was." Wolgast goes up the coast to Lornpoc Station Thursday morning for another fishing and hunting trip, not returning to Los Angeles for a week or ten days. F

OOTBALL

MAKE FOR SANE PLAY

Increased safety and simplicity and a decrease In mass play were pointed out as probable elements of 1912 foot ball yesterday by Coach James M. Shel don, athletic director of Indiana uni versity, on his return from the recent meeting of the national rules committee in New York,, which he attended as the representative of Coach A. A. Stagg, of the University of Chicago. The former Marqon star asserted his faith in the favorable reception of the rules by the public, officials and players. Coach Sheldon emphasised the fact that the members of the committee in tended the modifications to react against mass play and in no sense to bring back the old style bucking game. He said the increase in the downs from three to four was not regarded as a boost for heavy line plunging, which was looked upon an objectionable by all of the gridiron legislators, . and was thought to be sufficiently guarded against by the rules against pushing EAST CHICAGO ONCE , MORE TURNS TRICK The East Chicago polo team put an other crimp in the Indiana Harbor team's chances for championship honors at the Lewis skating rink at Bast Chicago Saturday night, when they cap tured their third straight victory from the Harborites by a 3 to 1 score. Indiana Harbor plugged up by plac ing two new men, Perkins and Ryan, in their lineup, and they proved them selves equal to the occasion. The gama was fast and each team played full of pep. East Chicago trying to take three straight, while Indiana Harbor missed their opportunity of taking their first game. During the three games that have been played at the Lewis skating rink both teams have proven to be clever and fast on the rollers, and now that Hammond has material enough to organize a team, there will be some hot time between the three fives. Only one accident occurred Saturday night to mar the pleasure of the game. During a short drive Mitchell, one of the Harbor players, was struck In the side with the ball and the game was called for five minutes. At the end of that time he was able to resume playing. Bald jOf East Chicago played the same Consistent game as before and marked up his usual point of the champs. During the total of- three games he has scored three goals. Carroll and "Dutch" Hewig also played an excellent game and pulled off some of some of that sensational stuff. Groat was also there and put a crimp in a number of sure counters. The following lineup was used: East Chicago Bald, first rush; Carroll, second rueh; Mitchell, center; Hewig. half back; Groat, goal. ' Indiana Harbor Cooksey, first rush; Perkins, second rush; Ryma, center; F. Smith, half back; Lewis, goal. The points were made by: Bald, 1; Hewig, 1; Carroll and Cooksey, 1. PRANK MORAN STOPSSTORBECK London, Feb. 6. Frank Moran, the Pittsburg heavyweight, last night knocked out Fred Storbeck. . former heavyweight champion of South Africa, in the twelfth round of a hardfought battle. Both fighters were badly punished, blood flowing freely after the fifth round. In the twelfth the South African was fiooreK.three times and was unable to respond to the call for the 'thirteenth. Last night's fight was the result of the unsatisfactory ending of a previous contest between the two men, Storbeck having been disqualified for fouling. It took Bombardier Wells eleven rounds to defeat Storbeck. THE MOST WIDELY READ NEWS-

TRAINING

FOR SHORT BOUTS

"I'm just hanging around here to see the Attell-Qilbane fight on Feb. 22," explained the champion. "After that I'll skip east and take on several short bouts during April and May. There's ja chap in Pittsburg named Harry '. Moore who used to be good to me when i friends were few. I'm going to give him the chance to stage my first 1912 flight. If I pass through my trial I bouts all right I'll be back here ready ! for a twenty-round event on July 4." It will be welcome news to the sport ing world ,!that Wolgast has so far re covered as to indulge in light training, and that the champion .has all of .his old-time confidence. His first slxround bout, no matter who bis oppo- ; nent may be, will be watched with great interest. ROLES and pulling. The elimination jof the twenty-yard forward passing zone and of the position of the field judge will do away with the unnecessary complications and make the college; sport a simpler matter for all concerned, according to Voach Sheldon. The Hoosler official expressed the belief that the changes as a whole were friendly to open play. "I think the rules will work out well." said Coach Sheldon. "There was a general demand in the east and west for more balance between the offense and the defense and a little more ease in scoring. It was the sentiment of every member of the committee that the game had come to be safer than ever before, and there was a unanimous wish to keep It so. I think these main ideas appear in the new rules and will have the effect Intended. "The onside kick was felt to' be a dangerous play, and that was a leading reason for dispensing with it." COULON Oil WAY TON. 0. FOR BATTLE WIW BURNS Crescent City Fans Offer Even Money Bantam King Will Lose. New Orleans. La-, Feb. 6. Johnny Coulon wired Harry Stout and the other West Side club officials today that he was on his way here to meet Frankie Burns in the twenty-round battle for the bantamweight crown on. Feb. 18, Jlmmie De Forest, Burns' manager, declared today that Burns will beat Couloa. "Coulon cannot meet a boy like Conley and not knock him out and then except to- meet a boy like Frankie within a month and expect to beat him also. Frankie will be trained to the notch and he is as scientific as Coulon and has a punch, which Coulon lacked In his Conley fight. I expect to see Frankie win before the end of eighteen rounds. If it goes the limit Frankie will get the decision easily." The betting on the contest so far is even, many of the local men figuring that Coulon will not be able to. beat Burns. PAPKE TO RE-ENTER RING FEBRUARY 22 AGAINST lilANTELL - Former Champion Matched For Twenty-Round Go . at Sacramento. . ' Sacramento, Cal., Feb. 6. Matchmaker Joe Richardson of the Buffalo Athletic club announced today he had signed Billy papke, former middleweight champion of the world, to meet Frank Mantell of Pawtucket, R, I., In a twenty-round bout in this city the afternoon of Feb 22. Papke Is due to arrive at Los Angeles tomorrow from Ht Springs. Tom Jones, his manager, wired to Richardson, saying he would leave with Papke and Ad Wolgast for Sacra mento tomorrow. Wolgast will train with Papke. The Papke-Mantell fight is to be staged at Buffalo park, the coast league

PEDERSEN SHAVES OFF 31 LBS. FOR CUTLER GO Jess Pedersen, Danish aspirant for Champion Gotch's crown, appears to be getting on to the angles of the American game quicker than his foreign predecessors. Beef and mere strength, he has concluded, are not sufficient to overcome the speed of our mat men and be has set about to lose the beef in the hope of getting the speed. As a result of Pedersen's training down process there will be no more than ten, pounds difference in weight between Cutler and the Dane when the two step into the Riverview ring to morrow night to clash in a 'final con test. Pedersen's 266 pounds, which he brought over from Denmark, have melted away to 235, while Cutler now scales at 226 pounds. Sporting Briefs The Whiting Owl club and Hammond basketball quintets, who put In a bM for the championship honors of Lake county, have failed to arrange a game as yet, but It Is thought before the week end Is up that the managers will get together and the date will be fixed. Basketball enthusiasts are looking forward to this game with great Interest and the hall should be crowded to its capacity. There will be no doubt but what the game will be the fastest that has been seen In this vicinity this season, as both teams will play to win. Hammond and Whiting have cleaned up everything In the county so far. Tfte Hammond bowling fans are anxiously waiting for the national tournament to be held in Chicago this year and a goodly number of them intend to ..enter and cop off some of the prizes. ; During the Hammond bowling league tournament some good material has been developed and there Is no reason why a good team cannot enter, and- bring back a few laurels for Kammond. - Gary pin men have also been bowling some good games of late so they had better beware of Lake county this trip. , Following a difficult time a number of polo fans have developed a team in Hammond and their first game will be played .Saturday night. when they meet East ifhicago at the Iewis skating rink. The Hammond quintet are preparing to put in some good practice work this week In order to show the East' Chicago quintet just what they really can do. The regular lineup had not been given out as yet, as a number are' trying for the team. If a good showing Is made It Is no more than possible that a three-team league will be organized. Jack Croak, the former Hammond 126-pounder, still continues to make good in the featherweight division and his followers look up to him as one of the comers. They say he looks about the likeliest prospect among the eastern fighters and before long will"' be

OVERSH

n the Calumet THE FULL commanding attention among ' those higher up. He has won nine straight battles since invading Buffalo, and none of his opponents have been what might be called "soft." Croak'e next fight will be with Tommy McGlynn of Buffalo, from whom he has won twice by a shade. McGlynn still thinks he can beat Croak, but the Hammond lad j hopes to stow him away In short order. BASEBALL NOTES. Western league magnates will begin arrivfng in Chicago today to attend the schedule meeting booked for tomorrow. President O'Xeil la not looking for excitement and says the session will be a brief and peaceful one. President Murphy of the Cubs denies positively and absolutely that he has been tampering with Charles Victory Faust, the Giants' mascot. McGraw says Faust is holding out and charges the Chicago team with making overtures to him. Mordecal Brown evidently wasn't Impressed much by the report that he was to be traded. At any rate he didn't quit the army of holdouts because -of it. Tip O'Nell doesn't think the Pueblo people have much of a claim against Isbell. Tip says there was an agreement that the Western league could take Its club out of Pueblo any time it saw fit after one season there. Jim Delehanty, Detroit's second baseman, is sixth on the eligibility list for a policeman's Job in Cleveland, where he lives. Del threatens to quit the game and. wait for a chance on the police force, but his brother Joe is authority for the statement that Jim will be right on the Job when the Tigers start south. Joe Tinker Is at present vaudevilling in Denver. He expects to reach Chicago the 20th and mas' be seen on the stage here for a week before the departure for New Orleans. Stuffy Mclnnis has written Connie Mack that the injured wrist which kept him out of the world's series, is as strong as ever. This season Is not to be exactly golden for the minor 'league player. In addition to shaving salaries, more than one minor organization has decided upon a shorter playing schedule. Jake Daubert and not John Hummel will captain the Superbas this season. Silent John will more than likely be found playing right field. 16 PROMOTERS GET PERMITS San Francisco, Feb. 6. Sixteen clubs were licensed today to hold four-round professional boxing matches. Each club will pay a license of 1,250 a year for the privilege of staging about three fights In that period, only one program each week being permitted.

The four-round .bouts are designated as class B and it Is provided that only amateur bouts must be held under the auspices of the Pacific Athletic asso ciation.
