(United Press Leased Wire.)
' San Francisco, Jan. 10. This week
will see Champion Willie Ritchie and
Tommy Murphy in training for their
bout at Coffroth's eighth street arena
on January 23, and then for a while
the blue ribbon lightweight event will
engage the attention of sports with
a leaning toward boxing.
As far as can be learned both lads
will be In the best of shape to begin
' their preparation for the important
match. Ritchie's nose la as good as
new again and "Murphy has no minor
ailments of any kind. It Is to be hoped
that nothing further will ofJur to hin
der the working off of a but that has
bang" In the balance .so long.
It Is an ill wind that does not carry
something of a compensating nature
among its blasts of disappointment.
I The chagrin which , Tommy Murphy
: felt when the former match was post
'poned owing to Ritchie's illness was
ameliorated in a great measure by the
manner In which the sometimes fickle
public showered its favors on the Har
- lem lad. -
; - It may be that Murphy was no more
popular than he had oeen right along,
but it required the temporary calling
off of the match to show how solidly
" . entranched he is with the followers
of ring sport. He received tremen
dous ovations when introduced to the
'crowds at minor boxing shows and he
had profitable theatrical engagements
thrust: upon him.
Stage May Have Hart.
In this connection a well known pa
tron of boxing remarked a few days
ago that he feared the stage business
had bad a pampering effect upon Mur
phy and that the Harlem lightweight
would have to work hard to harden his
flesh and clear his pipes for the com
!nr fieht.
"When I "saw him on the stige he
v wass nuggety as Joe Rivers and
wbefthe made ! little' talk in ;re-
sponse to the cheering he was clearly
out of Wind,"' said the sport in ques
tion. The chances ar that Murjjhy s
pudgy "appearance was merely a trick
' of the stage liKhts, while as for his
labored breathing, when returning
thanks. Tommy would display similar
' evidence of distress If required , to

The opinion has been expressed that
Murphy will not be much of an under

MURPHY SAYS JUMPERS
VERY FOOLISH PERSONS
Surprises Will Be Held Over
Until Magnates Get Back
Tuesday.
, Chicago, Jan. 10. Federal league
managers and players, who have wor
ried the bosses of o(her leagues in the
war gathering here, had for the. most
part departed tonight President GU
more left for Toronto but will be back
Tuesday, Otto Knabe of the Baltimore
Federals, went east, while Sinker and
Miner Brown are conferring at St.
Louis.
During the week announcements
were made of the signing of major
leaguers and tonight the Federalists
had started on a further hunt for new
material.
Cozy" Dolan. third baseman and
former team mate of Knabe. it was
admitted, had signed for the Baltimore
club. Knabe meanwhile had nnt rtvair
up hope of landing Vic Saier, first
sacker, and Zabel, recruit pitcher, also
of the Cubs.
Tinker Balds Cabs.
From the Phillies, Joe Tinker has
enticed Catcher Bill Killifer and
Pitcher Brennan and is working for
Pitcher Grover Alexander. He is also
angling for Catcher Wilson and Pitch
er Fromme, of the Giants.
Tinker and Miner Brown met in St
Louis tonight and it was announced
that they would tour the minor league
country for more talent
Tinker has the most signatures to
his credit, but it was announced semi
officially here that there would be a
division of the spoils in order that
the race of the league would be mofe
even.
It was hinted that the stars would
be distributed.
Before his departure tonight. Presi
dent Gilmore said that while there
would be no more bombs this week,
something startling might be expected
on his" return from the east
" Six of Major Calibre. !
"Six of our clubs will be of a major
league calibre," said Gilmore. The
other leagues never had more than
from three to five clubs in the race
The acquisition of Brennan, ; Cole.
Killifer, and Packard on the heels of
the signing of 'Tinker, Brow and
Knabe as managers is only one of the
early steps. Other surprises will be
sprung and we will not quit until we
have all the players we can take care
of."
Although President Gilmore refused
a statement, it was generally believed
that Jimmy Sheckard, former out
fielder for the Cubs, had signed as
Pittsburg manager. .
Federals who have been quite com
municative during the week, were si
lent tonight except that they promised
more surprises soon.
President Murphy of the Cubs, who
has suffered little as yet from the
invasion, tonight gave out a statement
saying that Major leaguers are foolish
to sign in the new league without
getting three years salary in advance.
He recommended a guardian for the
Jumpers.
Georges Carpentier, the champion
heavyweight boxer of France, may ap
pear at the Sydney, Australia, stadium
next Easter.
JIMMY JOHNSTON IS NOT
BEST STEALER PER GAME

Better Average in
Jimmy Johnson, the San Francisco
outfielder who was drafted by the
Chicago Nationals, stole the greatest
dumber of bases during the 1913 base
ball season. His average per game was
.61. ' '
The Chicago Cub recruit, however,
was not" the leading base stealer,
Wakefield of the Dennison club of the
Texas-Oklahoma league and Pi eta of
the Richmond team of the Vlrgjnia
league finished the season with ' the
average of .67 and .65 steals per game.
Butts of the Durham club of the North
Carolina league also gave Johnstone
a close run for the honors.
Johnston stole 124 bases in 201
games, setting a modern game record.

CHINESE
Paul B. Fung, the young Chinese cartoonist of the Ladd grammar school would like to be a big
leaguer when he grows up. He knows the name of every ball player on the coast and most
of them in the major league and h.as their batting averages at his finger tips. All that
prevents Paul, who is just 1 6 years old, from being a professional baseball player Is his size
and inexperience, and then, too, he doesn't want to wreck his fingers, for his art teacher says
he has talent. Of course, It doesn't take an art teacher to see that, for anybody will Imme
diately know that the above caricatures are of Walter McCredie, manager of the Colts, on
the left, and Walter Doane, the etaj rightfielder. The young Chinese boy's work shows
great talent, in fact, Jack Seed, who turns up his nose at the efforts of 99 out of every
hundred embryo cartoonist, says the boy shows promise, so he must be a future phenom in the
pen and Ink league. ,
A. STAGG OF
MICHIGAN WILL COME

Inevitable Slump Like 1907

Battle Creek, Mich., Jan. 10. Coach
Alonzo A., Stags, head of the athletic
department of the University of Chi
cago, who is, in Battle Creek attend
ing the conference on race betterment
believes that Michigan is destined
again to enter the "big nine" ranks.
Coach Stagg declared today that as
long as Michigan continued to win in
the east she will be satisfied. Once
the inevitable slump, such as she ex
perienced in 1907, the students will
want to come back to the old game.
Losing to Harvard at Cambridge will
not prove very appealing to the stu
dents, according to Stagg.
"Michigan lelongs in the west and
her natural rivals are in this section,"
said Stagg.
The Maroon men here gave the im
pression that he did not favor "hair
splitting rules," and that the game It
self was the thing.
