Jan. 7. —That Jim Cof- j fey hasn't lost his drawing- power be- ' cause of the knockout punch which j Frank .Moran handed him a few months ago is evident from the inter est taken in the return engagement scheduled for to-night in Madison i Square Garden. There seems to be an impression among: fight fans that the Roscommon giant was the victim of a lucky vyVFt l on i P 1 ?, 1 occasion and that he will redeem himself. Coffey himself has done a good deal It) dispel the idea that his usefulness as a fighter is past. After a sh- rt rest j in the country he tackled Gjnboat Smith, who had beaten both Moran and Champion Jess Willard.

SHAW, FORMER TRI TO CARRY SOME WEIGHT Jim Shaw, the Washington pitcher and former Tri-Stater who was injur ed recently by the accidental discharge of a shotgun, will carry a little extra weight next season. And it will be above his shoulders, where, James himself intimates, he showed him self a little shy when he went on his hunting trip. The extra weight is in the shape of about thirty leaden pellets lodged In his neck, the surgeons, when they operated, being unable to get all of the shot without unnecessary and use less labor. Shaw is lucky in that he escaped death and after that in that he is not No More Scouting by I National League Umpires Special to the Telegraph New York, Jan. 7.—Now that peace) has been restored in baseball, not only the players but the umpires too will i have to work under new restrictions. ' In the contracts that have been ten- | tiered to some of the umpires who will | work for President Tener this year a j has been inserted prohibiting > the National League umpires from scouting for any of the ball clubs, and it also forbids them from signing' articles for newspapers or any other publications. These new rules may also be imposed on the American lea gue umpires when President John.ion sends out the contracts for the men that are to judge the play on that circuit during the coming season.

A, I Former Umpire Takes i Up Boxing Game a jHBp BILLY EVANS Billy Evans, one of the most popu- j lar referees baseball has known, and one of the best, may quit the game j forever. He has been appointed a 1 member of the Cleveland Boxing Com- j mission and his duties there may take up all his time. going to be doomed to have a stiff j neck all his life. He will be in shape to pitch again next Spring. The j pitcher's own story is that he was i more foolish than any newspaper i made him out to be. Press accounts merely said that he | was climbing a fence with his gun i pointed toward him. Shaw says he | . was on the fence, and saw, in an old i stone wall, what looked like a rabbit hole. So he started poking around it I with the stock of his gun, tho muzzle ! of course in his hand, and pointed di- j rectly at his head. Something caught I the trigger and James caught the en- j tire charge which went through Ills j neck. NEW TECH LEAGUE IN FIRST BATTLE [Freshmen and Sophomores Open Schedule This Afternoon The first game of basketball in the Tech inter-class league was played this afternoon in the school's gymna sium between the freshmen and j sophomores. The sophomores were ! picked as favorites because of their i previous experience, although the i first year line-up included several | ! stars from the grammar schools. Manager Miller of the sophomore class will pick his players who will go through the season for the sec ond year class from these players: Lloyd, Holland, and Cook, forwards; Frock and Moore, center; Huston, Miller, Hall and Compton, guards. FVcshmen Are Numerous The "Preshles" have a large num ber of candidates who are hustling for positions. The most promising are: Bell, Cole, Ebert, Bihl, Moore and Hamer, forwards; Freeburn, Leeds, K. Beck and Frank, center: Krow, EKner, Moltz, Olewine, Holahan and | Lcnmer, guards. Next Wednesday • the first year boys will play the junior five. i Coach McConnell's varsity five will j lineup to-night against the Lancas ter quintet in the Tech gymnasium. lin the local's third league game of the season. Coach McConnell has a number of good reserves' on hand to substitute. The team will likely start with Kil j linger, Pollock and Lloyd at forward; Beck or Sourbier at center, while the | | guard positions will be taken care of i by YofTee. 1,. Bell and M. Miller. Ray Chappell Figures in Trade For Jackson J Chicago. Jan. 7.—Kay Chappell, the , Milwaukee outfielder who was recall- I I'd by Charles Comiskey for the White I Sox, will be turned over to the Cleve j land club In final payment for Joe j Jackson. It is questionable whether • Jackson did not bring a higher price | in his sale to Chicago than any other ' player in the history of the game. !To begin with Comiskey paid Somers : $31,000 in cash and gave Both, a good hitting outfielder, and Klepfer, a pitcher of considerable ability. Now (Chappell is added, and only two years | ago Comiskey bought this player from I Milwaukee for SIB,OOO, bringing the j price for Joe Jackson for over the $50,000 mark which he paid for Ed die Collins. Chappell Is said to be a much im proved ball player over what he was when he got his trial with the White Sox, and it is believed he will make a : first class man for the Indians. Itoth j demonstrated good hitting ability (lur- I ing his stay with the team last season, land Klepfer proved a winning pitcher, I so that Somers' deal, which ridded the (Indians of Jackson, really was a piece of good business.

Tener, president of the National League. This missive told in detail baseball conditions in Harris burg; as they were last summer and are to-day. The letter was written by a prominent local businessman who has been identltied with baseball for a number of years. It looks as if Ed ward G. Barrow would soon be forced to tell the truth. Efforts on the part of businessmen | and baseball enthusiasts to boost the city's reputation as a baseball center promise to bring some good results. There is no special effort being made I to have the International League place a team in Harrisburg. If this city offers advantages, league directors will not pass it up. What local backers desire is to have the baseball world know about inducements offered by this city for league games. An effort is being made to organize a Central Pennsylvania League with Lebanon, Heading, Pottstown and other eastern cities in the circuit. Pro moters must not overlook the fact thai, there is a league of that name in this vicinity, and until announcement is made that there will be no more base ball at New Cumberland, Steelton, Higlispire and Middletown it will be , profitable to keep hands oft. The annual series in the P. R. R. I Y. M. C. A. basketball league starts ! next week. For live years this organ ization has furnished interesting sport. This year still better sport is promised. There is a reason. Horace Geisel, physical director at the local railroad association, has been busy developing young material. He has a bunch of promising youngsters who will be in the line-up and an emergency squad to furnish four more teams. Men-hunt* nnd Miner* Trim*. Co.

Some Federal League players are receiving recognition in the way of fat contracts and jobs in prefer ence to stars who have been loyal to organized baseball.
