(The New York Evening World), “If the Willard-Moran fight ts held ‘up for any reason, and Willard wants to’ fight some one else, he can have Coffey. I'l post Willard’s $25,000 In * advance.

Hé wants Newark franchise in case the old league readjuste it- self and becomes prosperous again, The league officials deny the claim of Mr, Ebbets, however, setting foith that he forfeited all rights to repre- sentation in the league when he failed to comply with certain rules and regulations, When the league had to evacuate Newark on account of Federal League opposition Mr, Barrow claims that the franchise went with the evacuation.

LOS ANGELS, Jan, 26,—Tillie Shafer, considered the most tem- peramental ball player in the country when he was a member of the Glants @ few years back, is showing great promise as an amateur xolfer. Tillie was a star when in the big league, He was one of the cleverest third basemen in fast company, was a crack runner, and his batting ability was far above the average. However, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and mixing with the “rough” ballplayers got on his nerves so that he quit the Giants in 1913, Manager McGraw frequently remarked that had not Tillie been cursed with riches he would have blos- somed into one of the real luminaries of the game. Tillie is now eligible to compete in all the tournaments of the South- ern California Golf Association, Last August he applied for reinstate- ment in the amateur ranks, which was necessary because of his expert- ence in professional baseball, He stated that he would never play ball again, After giving the matter long consideration, President Tufts of e 11 organization to-day announced that Shafer was now eligible pmpete as a simon puri 1 intended to stage the big battle under a circus The latter declared that he would guarantee Moren $12,600 and 30 per cent. of the moving picture profits or $15,000 guarantee and 20 per cent. of the moving picture profits, Dorgan declined both propo- Curley then told him that it was Moran's last opportunity to secure the match, and that some other heavyweight would be secured to take Moran's place.
