CLUBBY SHIFTS MANAGERS: GIVES THE JOB TO LARHEY

Larney Llchtenstein, Chicago manager of boxers, 19 about to tak charge of the affairs of Jimmy Clabby of Hammond, Larney was about town this morning proudly exhibiting? a telegram he had Just received from the Indiana man, which reads like this: "You are my manager from now on. When can you Join me here " The wire came from Los Angeles and gives the Chicago friends of the young man their first inkling of his recent

whereabouts. Clabby had been expected home for the holidays, and when he didn't appear or send any word his friend and relatives became anxious Evidently Jimmy sees some chance of matches on the coast and is sticking there in the hopes of closing them. Larney has been handling the affairs of Eddie Clabby, the lightweight and brother of Jimmy, and his clever work so pleased the Clabby family that Jim

was advised to hook up with him. Up to now it was generally understood that Frank Mulkern of Milwaukee was Clabbys "boss.' but Mulkern has so many other Interests that he found it next to impossible to leave Milwaukee for any extended trips. Clabby has a Butte man doing his western business, but evidently waa dissatisfied with his work. It is probable that Larney will Join him on the coast within a few days. He also has Steve Ketohel and Knockout Brown to look after. Though Jimmy is In Los Angeles anxious to perform before the fans of that city. It 1 likely his first match will be with McAllister in Frisoo. A letter from Jimmy Coffroth received here today tells of the plans of bringing James and the coast lad together. "I am in touch with Jimmy Clabby for a match here with either McAllister or Houck for February, McAllister preferred, and If I land it I'm sure we'll pull a $20,000 gate, but Clabby Is all the noise In this city. He's so good every fan and critic Just raves over him." These words were part of the letter and show that the. Hammond lad is certainly "In right."

The Cleveland A .C. ice hockey team defeated the Toronto Rugby 'and Athletic association squad last night, a goals to 1. Racine, Wis., Dec. 24. BiUle Kauts of this city, the 123-pound pride of the McCue stable, gave Freddie Enck of Aurora, III., the beating of his life In a ten-round wlndup before the members of the McCue Athletic club last night. Kautz got every round and several times staggered his opponent. Kankakee, 111., Dec. 24. With a straight left and a right cross Spike Kelly of Chicago floored Jimmy Burns of Kankakee ten seconds before the end of the tenth round last night. The fight was fairly clever and even until the fourth, when Kelly opened up a notch and forced the fighting. The fight was preceded by two curtain raisi era. "Kid" Scott stopped "Young" Carrigan in four rounds. Irvln Bruck put out Clarence Maachon in the third round.

AGAINST ONE

SPORT ROLE

Los Angeles, Deo. 84. The "in and out" streak that has zigzagged all the way through Leach Cross' ring record

apparently has been lost Bight of by the confident admirers of the Broadway lightweight. That Cross will be backed lato favoritism over "Bud" Anderson on the occasion of their New Year's day battle before the Pacific Athletic club at Vernon, seems most likely. The fact that Leach scored the one and only knockout ever given Anderson, the belief that this defeat left a lasting Impression on the Medford boy, together with the cry that Anderson is a slovenly boxer, and therefore an easy target for any high class man, are the things that tend to put Cross on the "long" end and keep him there. It is an old saying among ring people that Cross fights like a world's champion one day, and the next time out flops around like a soused freshman. Probably one reason why Cross' friends believe that he will put up a "good" showing on the afternoon of January 1 is that fact that another losing bout right now would set Leach down and out. -

The New Yorker Is fighting with his back to the wall. Meeting the little chap at the theater Monday night I reminded him of his position and was not surprised to hear that he had already spent many hours "doping" this feature.

. "I've lost the last two times out," said Leach. "And no matter how popular you have been the public soon gets tired of looking at a loser. "I put up a rattling good fight against Ritchie In New York, but I lost. I came straight to California and went through the toughest twenty rounds of my life, only to be licked by Rivers."

Indiana Not in Favor of Limiting Conference Students.

Bloomington, Ind., Dec. 24. Should athletes in the schools of the "big nine" be limited to participation In one sport, or should they be permitted to make all the teams If possible? According to Athletic Director Berndt of Indiana the largest number of men possible should be encouraged to participate In athletics and for that reason the vote of Indiana may be cast against the proposed resolution of George Huff of Illinois which limited athletes to one branch of sport. Mr. Berndt says he thinks the Idea of giving more students a chance to make their varsity team a good one, but that such a resolution, in hia opinion, would

not obtain the ' desired end, and that the result would be merely inferior athletics In all branches of sport. Director Berndt said: "It is not for personal reasons that I take the stand I do, as it is very patent to any one that Indiana would not be seriously afTected by such a rule, but a change would, In my opinion, lower the value of the game from the spectator's viewpoint, and this would seriously affect the financial end of college athletics."

HOW SCHULTE LOST HIS CAR Frank Schulte, the Cubs' 1911 Chalmers trophy winner, is mourning the loss of the automobile emblematic of that title. It was destroyed by fire last week near Schulte's fruit ranch in Georgia and the outfielder himself bad a narrow escape from accident. The details of the mishap as reported by letter to one of Schulte's. friends In Chicago give west side rooters occasion for congratulation as well as condolence. Schulte and his wife were returning from the town of Woodbury to their ranch in the evening. The car balked when near home and Prank got out to crank it. Getting no results, he opened the hood and, as It was dark, lighted a match to see what was the matter. There was a flash and the car caught fire. 4 Schulte grabbed a robe from the tonneau and tried to smother the flames with it, but in the excitement Mrs. Schulte fainted and Frank quit the fire fighting role to restore her to consciousness. Before he could do so the car was hopelessly aflame and was destroyed. Schulte was the National league's first winner of the trophy, which waa inaugurated in 1911. and says the sentimental loss of the emblem of the honor voted him at that time is greater than the monetary loss.

Boulln at the Stockholm Olympic created In a sensation in the 5,000 meter race in which he ran Kolehmainen to a half-yard In the world's record time of 14 minutes 3 3-5 seconds. At the Stockholm stadium on Labor d.y of this year Boulin In an hour ran ten miles in 60 minutes and 46 seconds; several seconds faster than Hannes Kolehmainen accomplished in his record ten-mile championship race. He ran the unprecedented distance of eleven miles and 1-442 feet before the tour had elapsed. CHANCE OFFERS $5,000 BONUS TOGET TINKER Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 24. While discussing the proposed transfer of Joe Tinker from Cincinnati to Brooklyn, Frank Chance made the statement that he would give Charley Ebbets, the Brooklyn magaate, $5,000 bonus for his bargain. He added that if Ebbets would consider such an offer he would be delighted to turn over the cash to him without delay. "Tinker is worth every dime of the $25,000 that Ebbets is reported to have offered for Tinker," said Chance. "Joe is a high class player and well worth that sort of money. If Ebbets does not think so he will do me a favor by allowing me to pay him a $5,000 bonus

for his bargain, for such it is. "I do not think that Tiker would g to the outlaws if his demands were not met regarding the $10,000 bonus he wants for signing, but he has an intense nature and there is no . telling what he would do."

MURPHY UKES NEW PITCHER Cincinnati, O., Dec 24. "I have been visiting with my new pitcher, Harvey Uterecht, the Cincinnati high school boy," said President Charles W. Murphy of the Chicago Cubs, who has completed a round of business engagements in this city. "He seems to be a fine youngster with a good head and brilliant possibilitiifs. Naturally the

', boy and his friends are wondering If ' he will get a fair show in the spring i or be railroaded to the minors with J hardly an opportunity to ehow the i goods. They needn't worry. The best ' proof of my anxiety to secur the ' young man is the amount of trouble ' and red tape I had to go through In i order to land him. He seems to be

well worth the trouble, and I will give him a thorough tryout."
