SIGNS TO-
PITCH F0R THE SOX Not Walter, But George, the Indian, Who Burned Up the Western League.
George Murphy Jones. That's his name. To the first party figuring out his nationality this paper will eive a prize of a package of cigarette papers.
No, we won't. "We know what he is. He's an Indian. Also a right-handed pitcher Just signed by the Sox. He was purchased from St. Joe, Mo., and every one who saw him out there considered him a wonder. Johnson will be on the training trip next spring, so you'll hear more about him. Manager Callahan is strong for this bird, but still intends to pitch Ed Walsh In the first regular 1913 game. Ban Johnson, president of the American league, returned from his duck hunting trip down the Mississippi yesterday, and spent the day at home nursing a bad cold. President Coralskey of the Sox will be here this morning. Robert McRoy. secretary of the Boston Sox, reached Chicago yesterday from Hot Springs. He has completed
arrangements for his club's 1913 train
ing trip, President McAleer of the Boston club will be here today. The American league meeting is schedlded to open tomorrow. Fielder Jones, old-time leader of the White Sox. came in from the east yesterday with the report that he is mentioned as the next manager of the Highlanders. Jones denied that he knew anything definite about the proposed deal, but declared that if there is anytruth In It Charles Comiskey was behind it. Tt Is admitted in New York that the American league has to do something there quickly to combat the Giants, and Jones would strengthen the Yankees for patronage. Jones will see Comiskey in Chicago. It Is believed the two will get together and the exSox leader will apply for the job with the recommendation of the Old Roman behind him.
BIG NIGHT AT THE Whiting Skating Rinli SATURDAY EVENING, DEC. 14TH Confetti Roller Skating Party. Come and have a good time. Skating every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday Evenings and Sunday Afternoon and Evening.
PUGILISTIC NOTES. Mike Gibbons was in town yesterday on the way to his St. Paul home for the holidays. He thinks he was censured too much for his cautious fight against Eddie MoGoorty, but explains It by saying it was his first bout against a middleweight and he did not know where he was at. He is ready to fight McGoorty again, and guarantees a much better battle if he gets the match. Also he expresses a willingness to mingle with Packey McFarland or Wildcat Ferns at 142 pounds at 3 o'clock in an elimination series for the welterweight championship. There will be plenty of excitement at
or.e of the suburban boxing clubs tonight when Spike Kelly and Jim Burns step out of their corners for the eightround windup. Spike figures to win on his experience, but the Kankakee boy has the wallop, and it's heavy enough to stop Kelly if it lands. Battling Nelson is to fight Teddy Maloney In Philadelphia Friday night. His manager writes that, the bout will give a good line on Nelson and Wolgast as they are today, for Maloney recently held Ad on even terms over the six-round route. The Pane hopes to do
better than did Adolph.
Joe Sullivan has taken Jeff O'Con-
nell up to Kalamazoo, the celery town, where. Jeff meets Clarence Forbes in a scheduled ten-round bout this evening.
f O'Connell wins he is to get a couple
of matches before the Furniture City A.
at St. Louis.

"If conducted j properly and along legitimate lines boxing can be revived in Illinois. I think I have enough influence with the representatives in the southern part of the state to get them to vote for a sane boxing bill. I "The game could be conducted along
the same line sas in New York, but for an opener I favor touts of six rounds duration. If these contests are conducted properly, then the bill can be amended to allow the combats to go ten rounds. 'With such clubs as the Chicago Athletic association, Illinois Athletic club. First and Seventh Regiments, and other organizations of like character In the field, good sport could be provided. I promised my friends. If elected, that I would favor boxing, and I intend to stick to my promise."
