JAMISON SHADES WAGOND
Philadelphia. Dec. 22. After Johnn>-
Tillnian tapped the bell sending Eddie
Wagond and Tommy Jamison on their
wav in the final bout at the Broadway
Athletic Club, last night, all was con
fusion. After six rounds of whirlwind
slugging that kept the spectators on ;
their feet in a frenzy Jamison was en
titled to a hairline verdict.
It was an eleventh-hour rally staged
in the closing round that brought the
verdict to Jamison. He kept pumping
a shower of left uppercuts to Wagond's
ia-*r that had the Italian's head bobbing
back and forth.
Up until the final round the rumpus
was about even. Jamison got off to a
lead, several times rocking Wagond
with a long, rangy left swing to the
chin.
WANTS NAME CHANGED
For obvious reasons. Leopold Chris
topher Hoernschmeyer dropped his
name and asked to be called Lee Jla
gee. The outfielder of the Yankees
has always been known as Magee.
Lee is engaged to marry Miss Bea
trice Rodgers, of Cincinnati, and in
order to save the embarrassment of,
the bride being known as Mrs. Hoern- I
schmeyer while he is known as Magee, J
the ball player has applied to court to
have his name legally changed to Lee
Magee.

Larry Fox Yale Wrestler;
Baldridge Quits Sport
New Haven, Conn., Dec. 22. —How-
ard M. Baldridge, the New England
heavyweight wrestling champion, has
given the wrestling team officials of
Yale a chill by announcing that he will
not compete in the tournaments of the
team this winter because of a slight
injury which might be aggravated by
a strenuous season on the. mat. He
has left the team, but Coach Izzy Win
ters was delighted to-day by the pre
liminary showing ol' Larry Fox, the
oarsmanand football player.
Fox is the unique character of the
recent football season. He was one Sf
Yale's best varsity oarsmen last sea
son. but he had not played football till
after the recent season opened. His
wonderful physical ability, however,
was un asset which inexperience did
not cloud and he was given constant
coaching by Heffeltinger. Glass, Mert
ing and Brides, Yale's galaxy of guard
coaches, which developed htm remark
ably the last month of the season.
Fox. who hails from Philadelphia,
is a hardy Norseman, standing 6 feet
6 inches tall and weighing 210 pounds.
His great reach and height are cer
tain to make him the most unique
figure of the present indoor season on
the mat. and already Coach Winters
is confident that he has uncovered a
wonder.
Yale's schedule for the season was
to-day announced as follows: Febru
ary 10. Columbia, at New York; Feb
ruary 17. Pennsylvania, at New Ha
ven: February 24, Annapolis, at An
napolis; March 3, New England inter
collegiate championships at Boston;
March 10, Princeton, at Princeton.
Wolstencroft Wins Shoot;
One Clay Bird Gets Away
Philadelphia, Dec. 22.—Shooting at
a wonderful clip. William T. Wolsten
croft led the field of gunners who shot
over the traps of the Independent Gun
Club yesterday at Holmesburg Junc
tion with 99 out of 100 clays. The
event was a testimonial clay pigeon
shoot to Fred Stone, the comedian,
who is an enthusiastic target shot, and
despite the disagreeable day a fair
crowd of gunners popped away at the
flying clays.
The event was a dead bird added
handicap one and which resulted in a
nip-and-tuck race between Wolsten
croft, Chief Bender and A. P. Hoffman
for high actual scoring honors. Wol
stencroft and Bender shot from scratch
and the Indian broke one less than the
veteran wing and target shot.
• Stone shot along with the field and
had the satisfaction of finishing with
98 down, breaking 94 of his flyers and
carrying a dead bird handicap of four.
His father also handled the shotgun
and succeeded in breaking 77 of his
century.
One wonpm gunner, Mrs. A. Moul
ten, shot at 50 disks and after running
up 4 7 did not compete in the final 50.

TECH'S LAST GAME
IN GYMNASIUM
To Select Captain To-night;
Charles Pollock Is Favorite
in Contest
Technical high school's basketball
quintet will play its final* contest of
the season in the school gymnasium
this evening. The Middletown high
school five will be their opponents.
Following the holiday recess, the Ma
roon team will .enter upon the series
of games that will decide the Central
Pennsylvania league championship.
Lebanon will be the first attraction at
the City Gray's Armory January 5.
Select Captain To-night
The matter of a captain will likely
be decided to-night. The leadership
lies between Pollock. Miller and Har
ris. The latter has lead so many
teams at Tech that it is thought that
he will not accept the honor should it
be tendered him. Charles Pollock is
a popular candidate with many of the
players, and is picked by many to be
the new leader. Ira Arthurs will offi
ciate in the contest this evening.
Game starts at 8 o'clock.

and Johnstown, the two large Pennsyl
vania towns that are seeking p fran
chise in the Blue Ridge Bust ball

for the franchise, and Colonel Russler.
one of the owners of the team, has no
tified President J. V. Jamison that he
will attend the league meeting to be
held in this city next month and make
application for the franchise. Cumber
land and Krostburg were considered as
applicants last year, when it was pro
posed to make the league an eight
team circuit. Chambersburg. Hanover
and Gettysburg, the three Pennsylvania
towns now in the league will remain.
Strong influence is being brought to
bear to get Altoona or Johnstown, or
probably both towns, in the league for
next season.

j Memphis Wants Joe Tinker
to Lead Southern Team
Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 22.—1f Joe
Tinker wants a berth managing a
minor league ball club he can have It
right here in this town by simply ap
plying to the Memphis Southern Asso
ciation club. When ihe owners of the
local club became aware that Tinker's
day as a Cub leader was over they
Instantly decided to make the once
great shortstop an offer to manage the
local team,- and if the Cubs will let Joe
come here and he is wllltng he will be
tendered a contract as good as uny
minor league club in the country can
offer. y
Interest here in baseball has been
booming for the last two years and
when George Moriarty, the former De
troit and White Sox star, who man
aged the team last year, decided to
take a job umpiring on Ban Johnson's
staff of umpires for the coming season
it left the Chicks without a manager.
Moriarty made a hit with the fans last
summer, and, while not a howling suc
cess as a leader, he nevertheless
brought a flavor of big league ball Into
Memphis, and the fans having tasted
of that essence want more of it. Hence
the desire for Tinker.
Darcy Is Due Tuesday;
Australian on Atlantic
New York. Dec. 22. Unless storms
and shipwrecks intervene to delay his
boat or cast him up on desert islands,
Les Darcy, the mystery of the Atlantic,
will plant his feet in this city some
time next Tuesday. This information
leaked out yesterday, and, although
Tex Rickard would not confirm it, he
let it be known he was certain of the
Australian fighter's arrival next week.
Rickard lias been in wireless com
munication with Darcy several times
since he started the wild scramble for
il bouts by announcing his intention to
match Georges Carpentier with some
one. He knows the boat on which
Darcy is a passenger or a sailor, and
j says that when the proper times comes
. he will let the public in on his se
cret.
Considering the number of self-con
fessed managers for Darcy, it is too
bad the day of his arrival should be
come known, for the antipodean
champion doesn't like crowds, and
"crowd" would be a poor description
for the gathering that will be on hand
to look after Darcy's interests.
Rickard is uncertain as to the prob
able opponent of Darcy. The perform
ance of Jack Dillon and Billy Miske
Tuesday night left no choosing (be
tween those scrappers, and Rickard
believes Mike Gibbons would be a
splendid adversary for the visitor.

Heiress Needs $300,000
Just to Tide Her Over
New York, Dec. 22. Mrs.
Florman, oppressed by the high cost
of living, has sought an order from
the surrogate's court to obtain at
once $300,000 from the state of her
father, Charles Kohler, so that she
can keep body and soul together for
a few months, when she will receive
one-third of her father's residuary
estate of $2,000,000.
If she can hold out until then she
will not have to scrimp so, for when
she reaches the age of twenty-five, she
gets SIOO,OOO from her father's estate
and there will be another SIOO,OOO
when she is thirty-five and still an
other when she is forty.
Now all she has, except the S3O a
week, which her husband. Nils, earns,
is an annual allowance of $25,000, and
there's the baby to buy things for, too.
In her application Mrs. Florman
made objections to the accounting of
the executors. She asserted that the
trusts set aside by them were more
than sufficient to pay the incomes
provided by her father for herself,
her mother and two sisters.
The $300,000, she pointed out, could
just as well be taken out of the excess
income, which she estimates at $1 -
2011,3 IS.
When Mrs. Florman asked some
time ago for $25,000 a year, she told
the court her apartment cost $5,000 a
year and her cottage at Sands Point
$2,000 each month she maintained it
and that she owed $15,D00 on $20,000
worth of furniture.
Cannon Balls of 1776
Dug Up at Monmouth
Tennent, N. J., Dec. 22. While
grading near the church at Old Ten
nent, on the historic battlefield of
Monmouth, employes of I. S. Dudley,
unearthed three round shot cannon
balls, about eighteen inches below the
surface.
The missiles are in a good state of
preservation, despite the fact that they
have lain in the earth since Revolu

pounds each and the third six pounds.
They will be preserved with other
relics of the battlefield and church.

MACK'S NEW TEAM
LOOKS LIKE COMER
Is Building Up Strong Aggrega
tion of Players; Only Two
Holdovers
Philadelphia, Dec. 22. While
Connie Mack has to sign up every one
of his players but two for next year'B
race, ho treasures an optimistic view
of the Athletics for the 1917 dash. In
building over his machine for the
past two seasons Mack now feels confi
dent that when the team steps on the
field in the spring it will be the best
he has shown Philadelphia fans since
he dismantled tlfe famous club which
won international fame by Its feats.
To put the 1917 outfit upon the field
the boss of the Athletics will have to
discover a man for second and third
base, get an outfielder to aid Strunk
and Thrasher, and develop enough
pitchers to help out Joe Bush, Elmer
Meyers and Jack Nabors. His catch
ing staff is intact and will consist of
Schang, Myer, Haley and Plcinich.
This is the only department In which
he will not experiment.
Stufly Mclnnis and Elmer Meyers
are the only two men with holdover
contracts.
Uijoic Is Out
Lajoie will not be back on the team,
for last fall his name was scratched
off the reserve list and the great vet
eran became a free agent. To fill up
that vacancy at second Mack is de
pending much upon Cable, who played
second base for the Newark Interna
tional League club last year. Cable is
a right-handed lead off man and one
who ought to fill the bill, according to
Mack. He also has Lowry and Grover
to fall back upon. Witt will naturally
be stationed at short, but third base
is also an uncertain proposition, for
beside Pick and Headley he is pinning
much confidence in Bates, the Pacific
coast star. Bates is rated as a good
fielder and fair hitter, and will prob
ably be the man to get the assignment.
The pitching staff Is the problem
which Is causing Mack much specula
tion these days. In Bush, Meyers and
Nabors he has only three veteran
Dingers and the latter two are only
over cutting their eye teeth in the
majors.
The Athletics will not eliminate any
of the twenty-five-cent seats at Shibe
Park next season, according to Mack.
No matter what the Phillies do as a
result of the League action to cut
down the two-bit sections, the Mack
men will retain the 4,000 seats in
which the fans can now sit for a quar
ter.
Bits From Sportland
Cornell for the first time in many
years will not have a hockey seven.
of suitable opportunities for
practice is the reuson assigned—a very
adequate reason.
LeGore, who was induced by Cap
fain Taft to try for the Yale basketball
five, is making rapid progress and
may appear In the regular line-up.
Brown's successful football season
has started talk of a stadium among
the alumni. It is hoped that a new
structure will have reared Its walls by
1919. As one swallow does not make
a summer, neither Is one successful
season likely to make a stadium.
A Cornell graduate has suggested
I Grieg's Sailor Song, Op. 68, No. 1, as
i the music for a new football song.
I Why not save it for a crew song?
! Syracuse football authorities are
'said to have offered SIO,OOO as an in
ducement for the Ithacans to come to
the Salt City next year. The Ithacans
declined with thanks. Feeling between
the two universities has not been any
too warm since the last game was
played in 1900.
George Briclcley is still moving
around. The former Everett and Trin
ity star is to enter St. Anselm's Col
lege, Manchester, N. H.
Cumberland is believed to have cap
tured all records for lack of success in
football. The team was beaten, 222
to 0, by Georgia Tech, and 107 to 0
by Suwanee the following week—329
points against her to nothing in two
games.
Professional football in Ohio was
occasionally marred by the failure of
! stars to appear. Maulbetsch was one
| notable delinquent. Jim Ready, for
| merly of Lehigh, was the thrilling star
I of the Toledo team.

EDDIE COLIvINS IN DANGER
Chicago, 111., Dec. 22. —Eddie Col
lins may not be captain of the White
Sox next year. When Owner Comiskey
announced that Clarence Rowland
would manage the team again next
weapon he declined to say whether Col
lins would captain the team. Some
of the fans profess to see significance
in the words of Comiakey, as follows:
"I might have gone out on first base
myself last year and perhaps we would
have won the pennant. Anyhow, I
know of one or two instances when I
would have been under some pop flv
balls, whether the captain forgot to
shout who was to take it or not."
