At half time Hull House was in front. 32 to 4. Philadelphia, Pa.. Dec 22. Leo Houck, the clever Lancaster, Pa,, middleweight, put a stop to the sensational
winning streak of Joe Borrell by defeating and almost knocking out the latter at the National A. C. Saturday night. New York, Dec. 21. Garry Herrmann will own a controlling Interest ! the Cincinnati club before the season of 1914 opens. This interesting ' tip came yesterday from one of the biggest men in organized baseball, one of Herrmann's closest friends and supporters. Gilbert E. Porter was re-elected president of the Chicago Golf club at the annual meeting held Saturday night at the Midday club. The regular ticket was the same as last year, with the exception of two changes in5the directors, C. L. Allen and R. H. Ripley replacing Edward F. Cary and the late
John R. Qott. ' Paris, Dec. 22. Sam Langford. the negro b avyweight pugilist of Boston, was awarded the decision on points over Joe Jeannette of Hoboken, N. J at the end of a twenty-round contest held Saturday night at Luna park. The bout was considered In France to be for the heavyweight championship of the world. Jack Johnson "put onover" on the fistic fans of Paris last Friday njght when he boxed a ten-round draw with "Battling Jim" Johnson, according to Information JmpartI by a local friend
of the colored champion. It was stated that Jack Johnnor's opponent wis none other than his ' brrther-ln-law, Gni Rhodes, a big, strong negro with pugilistic ambitions.
Showing no marks of his ten-round bout with Charley White and asserting he is still a contender for the honor which he lost to Willie Ritchie, Ad Wolgast, former lightweight champion, passed through Chicago yeeterdajT on his way to his home In Cadillac, Mich. Wolgast still Insists he held White to a draw and hells anxious to meet the local battler in a return match. The "Bearcat" said Milwaukee promoters have approached him on the subject and he has agreed to their terms. As White already, has signified a willingness to meet the former title holder again, a return bout is sure to be staged some time text month.
Although Wolgast lost he decision
to White over the ten-round route, at
which distance he never was at his best, his services are sought by clubs
in all sections of the country. Coast
promoters want him to meet Joe RIv
ers and Leach Cross. . The German said
he would be only too- glad to meet either over the long route to show the
publto he is entitled to a return match
with Ritchie.

PUGILISTIC NOTES. Fred Gllipore has signed up two battles for Jack White and the brother of Charlie will clash with either Freddie Welsh or Frankie Russell for eight rounds at Memphis on January 4. He will step ten rounds at Toledo on January 14 with Gus Wormer, the home boy. Dick Woods, who threw water all over his friends at the ringside, while seconding Jack Britton in the M'cFar!and fight at Milwaukee, has a sure

ager of the Cincinnati Reds, bas had flashed In frontof his eyes every time
he looked at the smarting page of a newspaper recently. Th profusely advertised meeting be

Philadelphia, Pa Dec. 22. John W.
Coombs, the Philadelphia Athletics'
pitcher, who vu unable to lay with
the team last season because or illness,

a little.- As a result of ray illness I am one-sixth of an inch shorter, but I
am ten times the man I was six months
ago."

CRAVATH SAYS HE'LL JUMP TO FEDERALS Los Angeles; Dec. 22.

In a letter written at his winter home at Laguna Beach, Cravath tells of the situation In the following paragraph:
