THEY ARE v STILL AT IT With amazing nerve the Chicago fight promoters are going right ahead with their preparations for the January (5th bill at Clarke Station. Their misguided pugilists evidently take no stock in Sheriff-elect Whitaker's statements that he will not permit the bouts and are training daily. One Chicago promoter is quoted in the Record-Herald this morning as saying that the fight will be held. He knows he is lying. There will be no fights and the foolish pugs who are spending their time and mone might as well know it first as last. It will be the easiest matter in the world for Sheriff Whitaker to stop tha bouts. The Crown Point jail is a big on.

Los Angeles, Dec. 28. Luther lie-.
Carty shows absolutely no concern
over the coming battle of next Wednesday afternoon with Al Falser.
Luther is the original "Sunny Jim."
He is one long and loud laugh from sunrise until sunset. He talks of ev
erything except the fight. He looks
and acts like anybody in the world
except a man who is going to battle
for a place In the heavyweight cham
pionship class.
The youngster was missed from his
Venice camp this morning, and after a
thirty-minute search it developed that
the boxer was umpiring a sand lot ball
game between two "kid" teams.
Palzer's disposition is entirely differ
ent from that of his rival. Al is quiet
to the point of being surly, and goes
for hours at a time without speaking
word. "That's the way I want him to be,"
said Tom O'Rourke, while discussing this angle. "All great fighters "were
peevish and stubborn. Sullivan, Fitz-
slmmons and Jeffries were all that way. Corbett was the worst of the

bunch. It wasn't safe to come within a dozen yards of Jim during the last
week of his training siege. He was liable to hit you with the first thing
he got his hands on. ''I like to see Palzer 'crab.' It shows me that he is spoiling for a fight." Palzer acted as referee of an exhibition bout at a local theater between Willie Ritchie and Kid Dalton last night. McCarty acted in a like capacity and caused a tremendous stir. The two big fighters did routine training work at their respective camps today. Mccarty's injured knuckle has apparently healed, but the big Missourian took no chances and used his 'left hand only occasionally in sparring. Managers O'Rourke and McCarney expressed their willingness today to match their fighters against Bombardier Wells for a July 4 contest at Vernon. Promoter McCarey is said to look with favor on such a match, and
there would be no trouble In matching the winner of the New Tear's day fight
with the Englishman.

HEAVY FIELD FOR
H. P. PORTLAIID
CHiicago Eleven Will Be
Handicapped Against Heavier Rivals.
Portland, Ore., Dec. 28. Wendell
Phillips high school football team of
Chicago will battle the local "prep
eleven on a rain-soaked field this afternoon. Although the" gridiron has
been covered with six lnchs of saw
dust for the last two days, a steady
rain nearly all day has completely In
undated the field. When the covering
is removed this morning it is expected
the grounds will be in poor shape. These conditions will atd ,the Port
land team materially, as the local
squad will average nearly 165 pounds,
about fifteen pounds to the man heavier than the visitors. Wendell Phillips, which expected to use open plays in which the forward pass is a feature, will find It difficult to execute this formation, owing to the uncertain footing. Portland, which has been playing the old-fashioned line plunging game, will be at an advantage. Despite these handicaps Coach Moulton of the Chlcagoang is confident his team will carry off the honors. He figures that if the Portland eleven can be held even during the first half his team will stand a good chance to land the victory. The visitors practiced on Multonomah field, the scene of today's conflict.
This field is the largest in the west, and it built with all the modern improvements. All the privileges of the field and the club house were extended to the Wendell Phillips squad, which will remain here until New Year's morning, when it will go to Astoria for the final same of the trip. All the Chlcagoans are In fair shape considering the hard trip and one strenuous game. Not one of the squad is in such condition that he cannot play. Several reported bruises as the result of the Boise game, but these minor injuries will not affect their playing. Advance sales show that a record crowd will see the contest. Already the receipts are larger than when Oak Park played here In 1910.

Issues a Challenge. Charles Nlemiec. claimant of the
lightweight championship of Wiscon
sin, was a caller at The Times office yesterday afternoon. Although little has been heard of Niemiec in this vicinityhe carried credentials showing that he Is a world-beater in his class, and announced his willingness to meet any lightweight in Indiana. He has
faced such men as Eddie Walsh, Toung Keiser and in his last fight at Kenosha with Murphy he gained a decision In their , ten-round tilt. 'Nlemiec is anxious to get on with some of the Lake
county talent.
Middleweights Await Offer
From Any Reputable Club.
Orre of the best middleweight cards obtainable is open to the first promoter in these parts willing to give 60 per
cent of his tot gate. And the gross
ree'eipts are likely to be some healthy sum, because there's a little personal difference that the two men would like
to settle with the padded mitts.
Eddie McGoorty and George K. O.
Brown were matched yesterday to do
ten rounds before the first club to meet the terms. The men will battle at 158 pounds at 3 o'clock. Nate Lewis, manager of Brown, and Marty Forkins. director of the McGoorty activities, met yesterday and clinched the go. Brown has never ceased his assiduous training, and is continually in condition. McGoorty is now in Oshkosh receiving all the available adulation of the village and surrounding towns. "Kayo" wants to eradicate the sting of the Benton Harbor fight Fourth of July last, and, McGoorty is willing to prove it was a regular knockout. This is a chance for a nearby ring to get lots 'of Chicago dollars. Eddie Murphy, who fought Packey McFarland in the last Kenosha show, began training yesterday at O'Connell's. Mickey McBride has several matches in sight for his charge, and
intends to land one of them for a date not for distant. Eddie is going to be in form when the time Is set.
WILLARD STOPS
SOLDIER KEARNS
New York, Dec. 28. Jesse Willard
last night won from Soldier Kearns by
a knockout! in the eighth round in Madison Square Garden. Willard
showed a lot of class all the way and gave the rough soldier fighter an artistic lacing. After the battle Willard announced that he would insist on getting a match with the winner of the Palzer-McCarty fight at Los Angeles New Year's day.
LEASE GROUND
FOR SPEEDWAY
New York, Dec. 28. Prospects for a
revival of automobile racing on a large
cale, which New York has not seen
since the Vanderbllt cup races of several years ago, are said to be coup'Ieid with the announcement today that the New York Motor Speedway association
has leased 605 acres of land at Garden City, L. I., for a motor 'speedway. The speedway will be two miles In length, with a grand stand seating 75,000 spectators, as well as parking space for thousands of automobiles, according to the plans. It is hoped to have the course ready

IN BASEBALL Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 28. "I'm go- ' Ing after the national commission tomorrow good and strong," declared Orvte Overall, one-time pitcher of the Chicago Cubs, today. "I intend to telegraph that august body asking Just where I stand In the baseball business, for I want to know before New Year's. I want to play ball next season." vehemently declared Overall yesterday. "As soon as I can get a ruling from the national commission I'll know what to do. I had a contract with Murphy, but it expired at the end of the 1910 season, and I did not report last year. I did not jump my. contract, like Chase did, but simply refused to report, like Mike Donlin and a score of others. "Now, I intend to telegraph the national commission and see if it cannot force my release from Murphy. I would not play ball with Chicago ofr any money, but I want to know why I cannot play ball in some other city. I intend to play ball next season with some big league club, and J want to know why I cannot be allowed to.
