(Special to The Evening World.) Chicago, July 8. HERE have been many rumors circulaing around the cireutt of late that there is to be @ change in the management of the White Sox in the near future. Hughey Duffy, ac- ing to the reports, ts to step down and out and Jimmy Callahan or Harry Lord is to get his place. ‘The fact that Duffy has not been with the team for most of the past three weeks, rut has been scouting around the East and tho West for new material, has lent a lot of color to the rumors, President Comiskey, however, has taken the trouble to emphatically deny these re- ports, and says that Duffy will finish out his contract here. The little leader of the Sox signed a two-year contract when he came in the spring of 1910, and there is no chance for a change before the start of next season, He had not been here a whole season before some of the wild eyed Stockyard fans began using the ham- mer on him, but he has survived {t all and has made a good record while at the head of the team im bullding up & real ball nine. Last year Duffy lacked hitters, and he now has them, but it takes time for any combination of players to get to- gether to the best advantage, and if the Sox keep improving as fast as they have since Duffy took ¢ of them they should be in the race from start to finish next year, Duffy has been out in the minore for the last week looking over some young players, but he was slated for returning last night and will be in charge of the team as usual to-day. _The Highlanders, though be: Seattle's Star Runner Joins I.

It hap- pened after the main bout between Paddy Sullivan and Dave Deshler, ani was fought on the floor close to the ring with bare fists instead of five- ounce gloves.
