OI'THERN EE AGUE fans will ^ see a regiment of new first ^ basemen next year. The 1913 colony has almost been depopulated, and :n their places will come a bunch of new faces. M ck Coyle, the Chattanooga first packer, and Bill McOllvray, of Bir mingham, are the only ones now on the t ine-back lists, unless indeed it be Kotina, of New Orleans. Be it said furthermore, that McGilvray “slowed” considerably last year, and it is by no means certain that he will be in the Southern next season. Chattanooga fandom is divided over Coyle. Everybody likes him person ally: Some of them are convinced that he’s the best all-round first baseman in the Southern League. Others aver that his crippled hand m; t him erratic on thrown balls and slows the infield more than his timely hitting at intervals helps the club. * * * CO far no intimation of Manager McCormick’s intentions has been received, but it seems a safe bet that Coyle will return unless an opportu nity offers itself to get somebody who is mighty good” to take his place. He could not be waived out of the league, furthermore, and will not leave the circuit even if he departs from Chattanooga. As for that mat ter. it is not certain that Coyle will n : retire from the pastime. Mrs. Coyle is fond of the Arkansas farm, and he gets more and more in the hum >r of quitting every season. bill Schwartz has definitely an nounced his intention of managing from the bench at Nashville, and Ar tie Hofman will not stay in the S , h> rn. Hence it seems that a new man will inevitably be seen on the Nashville team’s initial cushion. Just who he will be depends on coming trades, as he was not provided for in drafts or purchases. There is a hunch prevalent in Nashville that the new man will be Kraft, the hard hitting first sacker who finished the season with New Orleans and was drafted by Brooklyn. There is no chance for him, of course, at Brook lyn, against Jake Daubert. * * * ATLANTA sold Joe Agler to Jersey ^ City, where the star fielding first saoker of them all can pull down a higher emolument. In his place Smith has bought Eible, a Saginaw (Mich.) Lusher, who is said to be somethin;; swell. Mique Finn didn’t waste a week announcing in Memphis that Bill Ab stain must travel, and the ivory one will doubtless seek a lower class league. The Irishman is trying hard to land Gene 1’aulet for his place, but hasn’t succeeded just yet. Finn has Dunkel. a busher, from Muskegon, Mmh.. who will b tried out. Fnedecor was drafted from Mont gomery, and Bobbie Gilks has named or L>r him as yet. T '-'-'let will refuse to report to Mo- hhe, as the atmosphere of that city •" 1 " weakened him physically. In stead. Bris Lord has hitched onto Calh..un. the collegian. The Pelicans may persuade the re- fraetm-y Kutina to report. Kutina w ■!’ ; go to New Orleans with ’ b< ing t railed thither last year, but may be willing to play un der the new management. Offers $20,000 for Smith-Langford G .".X FRANCISCO, Dec. 2.—Jim i'C' Kloy, manager of Gunboat Smith, r ; wve<: from lYomoter Robinson, of ln! ’’, '’al., an offer of $20,000 for a in, : : i tween Smith and Sam Lang- ford. Buckley wired back that if Robinson i-ost his money with Promoter * this city, the match was as as made. Of course, it was under- ') that no definite date could be set T tiie bout until the Gunboat had com- :1 is engagement with Arthur Pei- ■; here on New Year’s Day. Another wire came to Buckley from h“nosha. Wis.. asking regarding plans f n ‘ ! guarantees for Smith. Before leav- , K for the coast the Gunboat was of- r “ r ed a $10,000 guarantee if he would go [r) England and meet Bombardier Wells !n a ffturn match. Buckley refused, In- f. s T ! °h as he had already closed with "Tr th f or the Pelkey match. He may jyi.iKt the trip abroad later, however, if ne la successful.

Concrete Stands in 1915—Maybe By O. B. Keeler. T HE spring cleaning of the Atlan ta Baseball Association is ga in r to be quite expensive out at Ponce DeLeon Park. The total cost, the directors esti mate, will be about $10,000, and will include the following items: A new fence, all around the field. A new smoker, for the negro fans, built on an angle off from the east ern end of the present smoker, around near where the “Bull” sign stands. New braces for a great part of the old stands. Painting the whole works. * * * A LL that in addition to the usual work of getting the turf In con dition for baseball, surfacing and "tuning up” the diamond and infield, and all that sort of thing. Truly it has been remarked, "The life of a baseball magnate is one blank thing after another.” You may fill in the blank yourself. • * * C T. NUNNALLY has another id-'c, • however, and the other direc tors are thinking it ove At a recent conference, while the subject of improvements and repairs were being considered. Mr. NunnaUy advanced the opinion that it might be taking time by the well-known fore lock to spend just as little money as possible on only necessary repairs the coming season, and then spend a real bunch of coin on a big concrete stand the year after. • * • <»\V7E'VE got to do it some time— W that's a cinch,” said Mr. Nun- nally. ‘’Atlanta's outgrowing tha present plant, and, moreover, Atlanta deserves a regular concrete affair, the same as most of those In the big leagues. Birmingham has a first- class plant, patterned after Forbes Field. In Pittsburg, but it has the same fault as Forbes Field—the stard js too far away from the scene of ae- ' purther discussion agreed that the Atlanta idea would be more on tbo Cleveland plan, nr Shibe Park, home of the Philadelphia American I eaguers, constructed more near y straight up in the air. Instead of sloping rapidly away from the dia mond. • * * T HE next stand for Atlanta ought to seat about fifteen thousand, was the general opinion. That .would be rather larger than the Pubs’ stand In Chicago, and would make a fin's, commodious park for many years to come. • * * DUT of course all tl- t is very muen ^ in the air at present, and it is a huge undertaking, only to be ap proached with much care and plan ning. It would be Impossible to build a new plant before next season, and so the directors are merely thinking the idea over carefully. In the meantime, the old park will have to be dolled up a bit, though ll doesn’t look so ’ d, at that. Federal Magnates Lay Plans for 1914 PITTSBURG, Dec. 2.—The magnates of the Federal League met here yester day and much Important business was transacted. Acting President John A. Gilmore, of Chicago, presided. The plans for uni form grandstands and ball parks, on which a corps of experts have been working for some time, were submitted. Each franchise holder was also required to put up an additional $5,000, this mak ing $15,000 each team has in the league treasury. Because Pittsburg and Kansas City tVarna own their own grandstands, they will onlv be required to put up $25,000 In alh while the other magnates will be required to put up twice that sum. The franchise of the Pittsburg team was officially transferred to a company head ed by John G. Barbour, a millionaire stockholder. _ , , Ned Hanlon, of the Baltimore team, gave the presidents of each team a heart-to-heart talk in regard to players for the coming season. Practically every player on the St. Louis American league and St. Paul American Associa tion teams, is reported to he ready to sign Federal League contracts. Packey McFarland to Marry Joliet Girl PITTSBURG, Dec. 2.—It was learned here to-day that Packey McFarland, the pugilist, is engaged to marry Miss Mar garet Ivoughran, of Joliet, Ill. The news came here in letters to friends and for mer classmates of Miss Loughran. The time of the wedding was not mentioned In the letters, hut It I* expected that It will occur within the next two or three months. Miss Loughran is a graduate of the class of 1904 of St. Mary’s Col- lege, Notre Dame. ENGLISH POLOISTS CHALLENGE.

V/rfHAT »cjnO OF A DUMf* |S THAT- N rnev Oqk/t evETM Bcdeue that I’m evev THe rruoet Jess Willard Meets Morris in Gotham Fight To-morrow NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—Jess Willard and Carl Morris, the two foremost heavyweights of the white race, will settle to-morrow night in Madison Square Garden the matter of supremacy between the pair. The bout is scheduled to go ten rounds, but both promise a knockout. The State Boxing Commission, which meets to-day, has been advised by the interests which put Willard In bad lo cally to lift the ban on the giant cow puncher. Willard was put outside the pale by the Queensberry Athletic Club, of Buffalo. He failed to fulfill a match with “One Round" Davis. At the insti gation of the Buffalo club, Willard was Indefinitely suspended. The Bison City Association, however, has just agreed to waive its case, provided Willard fulfills his contract with "One Round" Davis In the near future. A squabble has arisen over the referee question. Promoter Billy Gibson ha* se lected Billy Joh for the office. Mor ris doesn’t like the selection and usks that Charlie White be the third man. There will be a powwow to-day in Billy Gibson’s office to straighten out the tangle. Yost Gets No Credit For Army's Victory WEST POINT, N. Y.. Dec. 2.—The success of the Army plays used so suc cessfully hy the Army against the Navy last Saturday was not the outside coaching, according to a statement Is sued to-day hy the Army Athletic Council. Coach Fielding H. Yost, of the University of Michigan, the state ment says, spent hut one day at West Point, and did not assist Lieutenant C. I). Daly, head Army coacn. The state ment says: "Much has been said in the newspa pers in the last few days in regard to the assistance given to the coaches of the West Point football team by Mr. Fielding H. Yost. The facts in the case are: "In 1908 Mr Yost did actually assist In the coaching of the Army team. This year he arrived at West Point in the afternoon of November 25 and left in the evening of November 20. The state ment that he was in any way connected with the coaching or training of this year’s team is absolutely without foundation. As a result of his visit not one single play was added nor was any change of even the smallest importance made.” CUNNINGHAM GOES TO KANSAS. ATHENS, Dec. 2.—Coach W. A. Cunningham, of the Georgia football and baseball teams, left yesterday for Kansas, where he will spend the winter with his two children, who are there. Cunningham will return to Athens early in March In time for the spring baseball training.

D ID the reader ever hear of Joseph Carrora, a fighting na tive of Sharkal, Italy? No? Yes. he has if he reads the sporting pages. Carrora travels under the name of Johnny Dundee and is the latest sensation among the light- eights. The Americanized Italian, by getting something of an edge-over Charlie White in the newspaper ver dict at New Orleans la,st Thursday, leaped right up among the boys who are scrambling around trying to land a match with Champion Willie Ritchie. White has been in line for a crack at Ritchie for some weeks. Milwaukee clubs have been bidding for the match. Now Dundee has in an astonishing and sudden manner stepped right out into the spot where White stood, and it is possible that he may beat Joe Rivers to a colli sion with the only lightweight cham pion California ever has had. White Not Disgraced. Before we plunge any deeper Into this Dundee narrative we wish to say that we do not consider that Charlie White has been disgraced at all. Dundee deserves great credit for his victory, all right, no matter how small the margin. But not much censure is coming to White. Prob ably he simply had a bad night. We are one among those w’ho would be Induced to give him an even bfeak against Dundee in another tussle. In fact, the upset may help White, when we come to think it over. Char lie has been getting rusty the past few months because many of the good lightweights have refused to meet him. They did not care to take a chance of vetting hit with that left of his Charlie's consequent In activity no doubt has shunted him off bis boxing stride. White evi dently has been out to finish his men quickly in his few recent conflicts and has neglected to box carefuly, a little thing be knows well how to do. He’ll come back, all right, hav ing learned his good lesson in the combat with the Dundee chap. But to get back to the Dundee per- I son. He is but twenty years old and has lived In New York since his boy hood. He started boxing in 1910. this being his fourth se&oon as a mitt fiinger Monteith Pick* a Name. Scotty Monteith, one of the shrewdest of the New York cotorle of managers, took Young Carrora under his wing after looking him over intently in a few of his e&rly flights. Scotty is a genuine Scot himself and hails from Dundee, too. He realized the name Carrora would never do for a topnotch fighter such as he hoped to make of the lad from Sunny Italy. So he named him after his home town of Dundee and picked out John, a good fighting name, as his front monicker. Carrora since has made the name Dundee famous in the ring and Montieth may take him over some day to show the folks in Scotland. Dundee fought fourteen four-round bouts in New York and Brooklyn in 1910 and was credited with the shade in all of them, so Monteith writes. He was extremely busy In 1911, box ing no less than 45 times without getting a real licking. Among his opponents were Mike Malla, Frankie 1 Fleming. Kid Goodman, Young Mc Govern, Young Packey Hommey, Ed die Sherman, Young Brown, Ty Cobb, Tommy Houck, Young Shugrue, Young Cohen, Young Ketchell. Harry Tracey. Bobby Reynolds and Tom my O’Toole. That’s a mighty rough outfit to tac kle. Lost to Charlie. Last year he battled nineteen times ns a featherweight with only one decided reverse. That was an artis tic trimmfng at Syracuse, N Y., handed him by the same Charlie White who boxed him Thursday in the South. White gave Dundee a dandy licking that night and sent him back to New York in bad shape. Among Dundee’s other 1912 foes wpre Eddie O’Keefe, Young Wagner, Kid Julian, Packey Hommey, Patsy Kline. Matt Brock, Johnny Kilbane (ten rounds, no decision, in New York), George Kirkwood, Harry Thomas and Pal Moore. Another hard gang to handle. Kilbane shad ed him, but Dundee did better against the champion than with White. Dundee hustled to the coast at the start of the 1913 boxing season. He got into two scraps with Jack White, Charlie's brother. In the first he won the decision after 20 rounds and in the second he stopped Jack before the limit. He also stopped Frankie Conley. Then Tom McCarey sent for Cham pion Kilbane, Dundee being held as the logical challenger for the feather weight championship. Dundee topped off all his previous good work by holding the champion to an even break. Another Kilbane match was a cer tainty in time had Dundee stuck with the feathers. But, sad to relate, he outgrew the class. John took a shot at Tommy Dixon on July 4. at Al buquerque. Recently he laced Mat Brock at New Orleans. Then came the White fight of last week. So look out for Dundee, you light weights. He’s only 20, weighs about 130 and Is still growing a bit. He’ll be big enough for Ritchie before many months have passed. Dundee has proved his class, and is entitled to serious consideration. HARVARD ATHLETE TO WED. CAMBRIDGE, MASS., Dec. 2.—An nouncement was made to-day by Mr. and Mrs. Galen L. Stone, of Brook line, of the engagement of their daughter, Margaret, to Huntington R. Hardwick, the Harvard football player. FREDDY DUFFY WINS BOUT. CHICOPEE. MASS..
