Jimmy Barrett, the old Cincinnati and Detroit star, has signed to man- age the Des Moines team next sea- son. 1 The new owners of the Toledo team have made arrangements for the “Hens” to train in Lexington, Ky., next spring. Harry Pattee, the former Brook- lyn-Rochester player, lras been en- gaged to coach the Brown University baseball squad. Marty Hogan, for several years manager of Tri-State league teams, has quit the game and will go into business in Youngtown, O. James E. Gaffney, the new owner of the Boston Nationals, says the South End park is too small and that he intends building a new plant. Manager Fred Tenney, of the Bos- ton Nationals, is writing a book on baseball specially intended for boys between the ages of ten and sixteen. ! Pitcher Hogan, who has been signed by the Boston Americans, is quite a performer on the ice and a| member of a hockey team in North- ern Michigan. | It is said that Hugh Duffy has a/| two-year contract as manager of the Milwaukee team, which calls for $15,000. That’s Class A A salary all right. Followers .of the Cubs are pleased | to learn that Manager Frank Chance | will be in the game next season, holding down his old position at first | base. i An effort is being made to com-| bine the Ohio and Pennsylvania and | Central leagues. Both leagues met | with considerable financial difficul- | ties last season. t After many. delays, work on the| new -American league park in New | York has been started. The contract | calls for the completion of the plant | by April, 1912, Newark has signed first baseman | Harry Swacina. - Two years ago Swa-l cina was tried out by Pittsburgh, | and last season he managed the Mo- bile Southern league team. | Monte Cross, the old Philadelphia | player and last season manager of the Scranton team, will perhaps oy appointed manager of the Lynn New England league team. 9090000000660 ® - WITH THE BOXERS, @ PPOOOOOPOQOOCQOOO® .Jack (Twin) Sullivan has signed to meet Tony Ross in Pittsburgh on Dec. 29. Indianapolis fans should witness a classy bout when Jack Dillon and Leo Houck meet on New Year’s day. If Freddie Welsh and Matty Bald- win can agree on the weight ques- tion, a New Orleans promoter will stage the bout Feb. 4. Pedlar Palmer, once champion bantam of England, -couldn’t come back. He was knocked out in 10 rounds by Darkey Haley in Hoxton, Eng., recently. The 1911 mile in 2:10 trotters num- ber 46. e Hughie Jennings says he can come back and pull the grass. Billy Papke, who said he had retired as a fighter, has signed for five bat- tles in France. Sacramento. has sold Southpaw Thompson to the Albany team of the New York State league. Helena, Mont., has signed an infield- er named Joe Protto, who comes from the Spokane City league. Zanesville club owners have decided on First Baseman Swartling as mana- ger to succeed Joe Raidy. Rockford, Ill, has signed a Milwau- kee semi-pro pitcher named Matt | Surges for a trial in the spring. Fred Clarke, manager of the Pitts- burg National league baseball club says he will never play ball again. Football experts are clamoring to return to the old rules, just as if the undertakers are not busy enough. A government commission to regu- late baseball in the two major leagues seems more the part of a sensible sug- gestion. “Detroit has come into its own as the greatest hockey city;” says a dispatch. It's great to be first in pomething. The Yale student who kicked a foot- ball 30 miles to win a bet must be re- lated to the fellow who rolled a peanut half a mile. A Georgia judge rules that it is a erime to kill an umpire. Another blow to the inalienable rights of the Ameri- can citizen. e R 2 2 2 S o VUL VUV VT VN FIGHTER DONS LEATHER MASK IN TRAINING Harry Forbes, Chicago Star “Comeback.” Harry Forbes, Chicago star “come- back” fighter, is now the man behind the mask. The former bantamweight champion who has been stirring things up by his wonderful return to form after an absence of four years from the ring, finally has overcome what he considers the greatest handi- cap under which he has been boxing, but not without the aid of artificial means. In one of his first bouts after his re-entry into the game Forbes was butted in the eye by “Young” Togo and a big gash was cut over the over the optic. In his training bouts since that time the old wound several times was reopened. Seeking a way to rem- edy his trouble, Forbes, while in New York recently hit upon the novel idea of having a mask made which he could wear in training. The mask, made of leather, is padded with felt around the eyes. It has proved a suc- cess. 5 There is Only One “Bremo That Is Ouinine ’” Laxative Bromo Quinine | USED THE WORLD OVER TO Always remember the full name.
