Indianapolis; Dec 22. The In

club was sold by Pol Meyer, owner, to
J. C. McC.llI. of Denver, and William

10.000. ,
Negotiations for the sale of the In
dlauarolia club have - extended over
feverSI months and there was a report
in October that the deal had been com
pletert. The delay In closing the sale
was due to a contract the club had with
Mike Kelly to manage the team next
McGill Is also owner of the Denver
Western League club and wanted Jack
Hendricks, manager of the Denver
team, to manage Indianapolis. Hen
dricks has been with the Denver team
several years and has won three pen
nants. Arrangements were made with
Kelly to cancel the contract and the
only obstacle to the sale was removed.

the coyotes are found several miles
from the outskirts or tne city.
A recent coyote drive wa "--""I
four miles from Grants Tass down tne

the exesent featherweight, champion.
He bars ,none, not even Fackey Mc

such a limit would weatcen me 100

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.
Sol Gruman, head of the haberdash

We are glad that this is not Idaho.
Idaho has a law against noise. How
ever, these Christmas ties may be con
fiscated for disturbing the peace.

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.

football practices after alL We have

when we have been barred from a grid
Iron while these sacred rites were be

seen the team In mortal combat
Parke H. Davis now confirms our
worst fears. Secret practice, he says,
may be held to perfect some novel or
unexpected use of an old detail, but

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

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.

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.
