, Frank Schulte is famous. tor JUs.apparent Interest In the games' he Is' playing. Lots of us have watched Frank on hls.way from the bench to the plate when his turn at bat was coming, and have wondered whether he would get there before he died of enuui. Art Griggs of the Cleveland Naps (he was with the Naps the last time we heard of him) was notorious for his wild enthusiasm. He used to He down on the grass and rest between . his turns in batting practice. Then there was Bill Burns, southpaw pitcher. "When he wasn't busy pitching or catching runners off first . base with his alleged balk motion he was snoring on the bench, waiting for a team mate to say, "Come on. Bill; our inning is over and you've got to go to work again." , Down in South Bend there was "111"
,Sager, third baseman. After a game you could say to "LH": "Who won and - what was the score?"' "I don't know." "Lil" would reply, '"but I got two hits and made only one . error out of eight chances." And now comes Jim Scott, White Sox hurler. Jim got into Chicago yesterday. "He came to talk 1913 contract with President Comiskey, whom he expects to see this "morning. Jim suffered from
rheumatism.- last season. He couldn't pitch a lick after his first two or three attempts. He spent most of the summer trying to get he pains out of his limbs. Finally, before the big league campaign was over, he was sent home. Jim lives In Wyoming. As soon as he was given permission to leave the Sox for the year he .went home and organized a hunting expedition. . He and his brother accompanied by a couple of friends, hit the trail and sttjck.to It for a month. They killed nine elk and lots of other things. ' When they were tired of camp life they returned to more or less civilisation. W'here's the punch to this long recitation? Why, here. Just two weeks ago Jim found out how the city series between the Cubs and White Sox came
out, and ascertained that Boston had copped the world's series from the Giants. And now he wants to look over our files to get the details of the games played on the south and west sides.
No steps have been taken to get a coach for the Northwestern athletic teams to fill the vacancy which will be caused when Coach Hammett leaves in June, paid Peter Wilson, president of the school's athletic association, yesterday. Coach Zuppke was mentioned as a candidate, but the committee was divided about him. Several thought that he could not coach a college team successfully. A large number of students are in favo rof engaging Zuppke because of his success with Oak Park, and it is said that a committee of alumni are working in his favor. It is thought he would be willing to go to Northwestern if he could have charge of athletics. No official overtures have been made to him.
FLIGHT, JS POSTPONED. Helena, Arki Dec. 4. Because of injuries to his hydoaeroplane. Tony Jannus. who arrived here yesterday, was unable to resume his flight southward today. He expects to start tomorrow.
B0XINGN0TES. "At midnight last night, when Packey McFarland - and Manager Emil Thlry boarded a train for Dayton, O.,
where Packey.wlll whip Battling Terry, whoever he Is, tonight, It was announced that all was serene with the McFarland-Eddie Murphy match, booked for Kenosha, Wis., on the evening of Dec. 16. It looked for a time as if Packey would call the bout off, the south side prtmma donna being troubled with boxing indisposition for a couple of days. But the matchmaker. Promoter Keating and Thiry conferred last evening and the last word was that Packey would go through with the bargain. Murphy leaves Boston for Chicago today. So Chicago fans may start planning for the battle, as
It will go over unless McFarland gets
a black eye tonight. If that happens, look out for squalls. Joe Sullivan, of Wild Bill Hanrahan fame, is a busy manager these days. Joseph is handling the little featherweight, Jeff O'Connell and says he will have Jeff fighting once a week. He has matched O'Connell with Clarence Forbes for a ten-round setto at Kanamazoo on Dec. 10, the winner to get Steve Ketchel. ' Then he has Jeff signed with Joe Genial and Benny McGovern for fights before the Furniture City A. C. in St. Louis, and with Joe Connery at Chattanooga on New Year's eve. Sullivan will have Rudy Unholz
fighting Jake Able at the Tennessee !
city the same night. Tommy Gary has signed himself up for a couple of stiff fights. He boxes Frankle Russell ten rounds at New Orleans Dec. 9 and three nights later takes on the rugged Art Stewart over the same route at Hammond. Gary thinks he will be matched for a Cincinnati engagement with Battling Nelson before long.
Chicago ring fans are showing considerable interest in the battle between Jeems Clabby and Young Mahoney, billed for Racine Friday night. A bunch of Hammond, Milwaukee and Chicago sports will be at the ringside to see Jimmy perform against the Wisconsin veteran. If Clabby whales Mahoney, as Manager Frank Mulkern predicts he will, he expects to get on at Kenosha early in January.
