Graham will retire from the diamond and will go Into business for himself. Patsy WRourke, former captain of the Albanjr, N. Y. club, Is Slated to succeed Graham as leader of th Sacramento team. Graham said he probably would 'retain his stock in the Sacramento club, but would not again be seen, in uniform. ' Graham has been Identified with coast league baseball for the last tlx years.

(1 , totted yrrtm Iid Wire.) . t Paris, Dec. II. Tremendous opposi tion will be made to the holding of the Olympic games at Cleveland Ohio, in 1918, by fcngand and, the countries of the continent, according to the Excel sior, a parts sporting publication, to day; The objection, the, paper say", is not to Cleveland, but, to America. The announcement in Paris that the American Athletic union had indorsed Cleveland and referred it to the interna tional committee has created a sensa tion in Paris and generally In French athletic circles. Frenchmen see In it a foreboding of failure for the next Olym piad. ! ' ' j - ' ': nnnonitlon to the games being held in the United States Is said to have de veloped more fromr the extra cost for eastern hemisphere men to attend than from any ' particular'; discrimination against . Americans. Should the games be held at Cleveland only, the more wealthy European athletes could afford to make the trip, the Excelsior says, v Should the tames be held in Austria, Itslv. Russia or Germany, wnicmcoun tries are striving W secure the contests for this side of the Atlantic, the Olym nlad would be- attended by the usual number of athletes and would be more nearly what is was originally intended to bea contest of all nations accord- Ing to Excelsior, .

Dec. 21. Hugo Kelly will claim . the title of middleweight cham pion of the world. Ho bases his claim not so much on Stanley Ketchel's statement shortly before his death that he intended to retire In favor of Kelly, as on his showing against Frank Klaus in their bout here last night. Kelly Bald todav he will fight anybody that can make the middleweight limit. Boston .funs agree that Kelly has improved wonderfully. Those-who saw the fight last night say that Kelly was all over his opponent and beat him all' the way. The fight was. voted the fastest 12 rounds seen here In a long time. . I v I warmed her up for the race that it would take a mile around 1:00 toi stop her. The old Illinois mare Citation was almost an even bet against her In the a'uctlons. A well known horse man who bets a lot of money came to me and asked what I thought. I told hlm( I would win; that: there wasn't a pacer living that could head Lady Maud C. that day. He evidently got additional Information from other sources, for he went into the ring and bet 2000 on Citation and then had to stand around and try to; looky pleasant, while ; hla money' burned.fc;?,:.:'VJt j:-;;;i-''M:vf''-is-';-.-'i;'i';"- "-''Everybody: know how Lady Maud C.

That , old mare likea to trail along behind, until the stretch Is reached, then pull out and unless you've got better than , two minute speed to stand her off it's good night Dick pulled her out at the seven-eighths pole that day and went after me. I could hear . his whin crack and his ' Citation war cry of "Oh,1 you Sadie, but I Jfst sat still, lor i- knew I had the heat won.
