Jy. Tcm Andrews, rrwiiicr promoter i of tho Ber city, passed through tho i-itv yesterday on hi way to Now j York, and he tippet! it off that when ie cxwnea back this wy in h fiw days he will have clinched tiie matoh of ihtiie in pugtliKm. Andrews went n. little further and ; admitted that one of the principles in ; tliis match, would he Heavyweight i Champion Jess Willard. but. pressed ! lor further infox-matioii. he assumed a 1 i umlike attituda and nothing move I too Id 'be gleaned. Just who Andrews' )i is in mind (or Willard's opponent; couldn't be learned, hut it w-as hinted j

tin! announcement of the tlinching: of the macth would create somewhat of a sl:r. The promoter didn't five the impression that the man to meet Willard would be 1S Darcy. o we'll have to remain in the dark until Tom consents to loosen his tongue cn this "wonderful" bout. "o Manatcer for Pnekey. Wee Doc Krone's convincing: statements that he is manager of Packey ilcFarland and that Jackey is eoralns back to the game to scrap Lea Darcy. were handed a sleep potion yesterday by none other than .McKarland himself at his chicken farm in Joliet, spiked Krone's story by fay.ni? he is not going to come back at ail. "What do I need a manager for?" 1'ackey queried. "I'm not coming back to the ring for less than $25,000." The former stockyards boxer intimated that he did not expect to hear of a promoter willing to guarantee that sum until the war ended or Tom Jones purchased a drink. Little trlrl Ifln Mnnaser. "Jly little girl is my manager on the chicken farm and only heavy financial inducements can bring me back to the ring. I'm through with the game that's straight from the shoulder. Tin going to be the one fellow that has retired unbeaten."

perform also excites the fight fan. There seems to be little doabt that Darcy will show all the class he is rerutd to have and after he has

fought Billy Miske, Bob Moha, Jackition.

for yeais only a mediocre midd'i-j wcighl, has arrived. ies a light I iifiivywrifc'ht now and he's f-'prnding; most of his time wrecklnR the hopea of others in the same brigade. j A few nishts ago Aliske fought Jack 1 Dillon. the terrible Jloosiir light heavyweight.

throne,-! idol. They're trying now to match the two for a return battle and

ii it goes tnioujrn mere win tie ai regular old-fashioned slam-bang tus-j sic, and somebody is pretty certain to i get liiirt. I Miske isn't clever. lie's almost j clumsy, but .he's one rT the clumsy j boys who gets results. He has a long, J sneaky left hand that stabs in and I out, making ;t decidedly uncomfort-i

a file for the man at the other end of the arm. He pestered Dillon with it

until Dillon got mal and developed a habit of reaching up and pulling it off his chin, then whipping over one of his own. Becently Miske fought I'.attling Lcvinskey, who has quite a left of his own. But Miske matched lefts with him and proved he was as good fit it as Devinsky. He plastered lx-vinskey all over the ring and earned a cleancut decision. Miske is being seriously considered as the logical choice to send all the big heavies ng.iinst in an attempt to get some one to send against Jess Willard.

jWhat Was the Score of the

Rochester-East Chicago Game?

Bobby Roth (left). Tris Speaker (top right) and Jack Graney. Tris Speaker, Jack Graney and Bobby Rcth of the Cleveland Indiar were without doubt the greatest trio of throwers from outfield in majo: league balldom during 1916. Tris led the Cleveland contingent with twentyfive assists, Graney following close behind bim with twenty-two, whi! -Roth brought up the rear with tw-enty.

The day before Floyd Murray, ath

N'o wire came. A sporting reporter has been trying to get hold of Murray ever since. The question isn't, lvhat's become of Murray. There's no need to be alarmed.

The puzzle is: How Chicago get beaten?

He. was kept on the bench for two years, and when the Feds started he was snrrel by the llrooklyn rluti.

Cooper joined the I'hillies last season, hut didn't get much chance to shine. This will be his big opportunity, ami it's thought in base- i ball circles that he'll make good. The Cleveland Indians had a chance to set Cooper last winter, when John t.anxel was peddling the Federal le:iKue enntrncts.
