It Is my ambition to box him again, but I am afarid It can't be done done." Dundee Is now In training for the Vew Orleans New Tear's date with Freddie Welsh. - Dundee is boxing closer to the ground now, consequently getting more power behind his punches. Dundee used to have some ring tac tics which might have been attributed to the teaching of a frog. He used to fight high and failed to get the right amount of pressure behind the blows.

Idaho has a law against noise. How ever, these Christmas ties may be con fiscated for disturbing the peace. . This was written prior to tTTe North western League banquet to Portland sporting writers. ... Baseball as played In America Is severely criticised by a member of the Australian cricket team, which recent ly toured the United States and Can ada. He says there is too much com mercialism in it. He might tell some of the minor league managers that they are making money. It would be a surprise to them. -' An Eastern college coach says that the reason Western colleges have shown superior strength in the 1913 season Is that the schools of the West have less work and easier hours for the members of the team. .

Far more easily than the public real ises, we are told, is it possible to ob tain the key to every signal. All that Is necessary Is for the scout to make a memorandum of each series of numbers as they rattle across the field, and then after each series note the ensuing play. But what's the -use? Every signal svstem is based on a key that can be turned secretly, thereby changing the system. Parke Davis shouldn't have macer ated this picturesque myth. . Contrary to precedent Bud Ander son, who Is matched with Leach Cross on New Tear's Day,, has shown - no signs of weakness following the re moval of his vermiform - appendix. Since his recovery Anderson has taken part in two battles, both of which he won Inside the limit. Recently An derson battered down Frank Barrieau in the tenth round of a scheduled 20 round contest. Barrieau is the Canad ian, lightweight who outpointed Cross in 10 rounds a few months ago, and Anderson's victory, has boosted , his stock considerably. Instead of being an overwhelming favorite Cross is likely to be little better than even money for the cdpilng bout. Coos Bay Gets 10-Ronnd Bont. MARSHFIELD, Or.; Dec. 22. (Spe cial.)

If Montreal and Oakland ever get .i oj nan ultimately returns to IVKCiuvi ...iv the Coast League, it will help Dan in his claim to the globe-tromng cham pionship of the universe Dan left Wevmouth. Mass.. when a mere kid to join Indianapolis. Being a verdant youth at the time, ne soon swiLcneu allegiance to Grand Rapids, where they polish off furniture and also ballplay ers. Then he returned to Indianapolis and after two or three years there, was s a TTMia in the New York State League. There he made good and was drafted Dy tjieveiana, iitjsii.i.i"s only long enough in the Forest City to be sent west to Portland. One season here and McCredie traded Howley off to the Philadelphia Nationals. The Phillies kept him half a season and traded him to Montreal, and, when Dan refused to report, a deal was announced for his return to the Coast with Art Devlin at Oakland. This deal has been denied a couple of times, but here's hop ing it goes through, for Dan is a real good fellow and a credit to the game. Also, Howley needs the mileage. To win a pennant one year and lose your Job the next is a unique expe rience, as Jake Stahl, of the Boston champs, can testify.
