well over the 165 pound mark every
time he has stepped on the scales at
ringside as required in Gotham Bob
claims he can make the middleweight

he could reduce to IBS. but I doubt

As To Prospects Of Fight
Declares Johnson-Flynn Possibilities Are Woae to Roseate and Speculates Why
Carley Traveled to Ciadad Juarez.
AN FRANCISCO Calif.. April 13.
Before long we will know if there
is to be a Jack Johnson-Jim Flynn
match. Just at present the prospect is
none too roseate but. as Jack Curley
has promised to give out some definite
Information on May 1. there is no harm
continuing in a gueseing mood a while
longer.
i. urley. by the way still Insists that
the championship event win take place
In lul The onl douot he says is in
I regard to the place where the ring
VkAl be pitched and it is on this point
that he Is to enlighten us at the be-
gihing of the merry month of May.
JacK is surely a persistent fellow.
He has hunted high and low for a loca-
tion that will serve as an appropriate
setting for the heavyweight battle and
he has shown wonderful determination
and marvelous qualities of optimism in
the face of discouraging conditions.
When last heard from. Jack was look-
ing over the ground at Juarez across
the river from El Paso and was said
to be trying to pave the way for the
coming together of Jack and Jim at
that point. Considering the status of
affairs around Juarez this seems like a
sign of weakness on Jack's part.
Xaushton's View of Revolution.
The revolution down that way has
now worked beyond the bounds of a
moving picture speculation and there is
no telling who may be in power and I
possession at Juarez on any date dur-
ing the next few months. It certainly
seems as though Jack must have lelt
that all other doors were closed to
him when he crossed the Rio Grande
to look for sure ground for Flynn and
Johnsod.
It may be however that Curley is
playing a deep game just as Dtui Stuart
did when casting around for the most
suitable site for the Bob Fltsslmmons-
Peter Maher match. Jack may be cross-
ing the Mexican border in order to
throw the authorities in other direc-
tions off the scent- Possibly when
Jack tells where the fight is to take
place we will have to admit that he
covered his tracks well and fooled us
completely.
It is said that Jack Johnson is be-
ginning to feel dubious about Curler's
ability to pull off the match and is con-
sidering certain offers placed before
him by Tom O'Rourke. Furthermore
that one of these offers calls for a
10 round bout between Johnson and Al
Palzer in New York.

AN ANTONIO Tex April 13. 0n-
der the most favorable auspices
In years the Texas league race
for the 1912 season opened Friday.
The managers overlooked "hoodoo
day and are banking on a prosperous
and successful season. San An tonic
opened in Beaumont Houston in Gal-
veston. Fort Worth in Austin and Dal-
las in Waco. The result of Friday and
Saturday games showed tbe teams
playing about according tojform.
Beaumont tbe reorganised Oklahoma
City team and Galveston almost new
'from manager to mascot are the real
dark horses in the pennant race and
the class they have shown makes it
certain they will have to be reckoned
with in the pennant race.
When the clubs showed up on the
field there were so many new faces
?.nd so many veterans missing that
he fans have settled down to the Idea
that new baseball heroes will have to
be created in tbe Texas league next
year. Even the most regular fans had
to consult their score cards to keep la
touch with the game as they should.

bout has fallen through and the lat-
ter is out of the game temporarily
with bad hands efforts are being made
to match Moha and Mc8oTty. These
men come nearer to meeting require-
ments as eligibilities for the champion-
ship than any middleweights who have
made their bows before a New York
crowd since the days of Stanley
Ketchel.
George Carpentler the idol of Paris-
ian sporting men was given a ques-
tionable decision over Gunther. tbe
Australian negro so the cables tell
us. The consensus of opinion was that
a draw would have been a more equit-
able verdict. Carpentter's stock has
taken a decided drop in this country
as a result of his indifferent perform-
ance. It was only a short time ago
that the veteran Kid McCoy elearly
outpointed the Australian and we. all
know the Kid has long been out of
the running so far as championships
are concerned.
By W.W. Naughton
said about holding; Palsar back for a
year and permitting him to develop
before sending him against Johnson.
Then again Johnson was 'supposed to
be so incensed against Tom O'Rourke
through some slight placed upon tha
champion in his cub days that he
would on ne account become a party to
any match in which O'Rourke was in-
terested. Ileve Of Peace In Evidence.
Well if O'Rourke has made offers
and Johnson is considering them it
means that the dove of peace has de-
scended somewhere and that there is a
better understanding all around.
O'Rourke Jtnows the ropes of the
fighting game thoroughly and is not
likely to make any fool breaks. If
he has approached Johnson on the sub-
ject of a mateil in New York it Is a
safe bet that New York is not con-
aioered closed to the champion not-
withstanding the attitude of the box-
ins commission.
If the Flynn-Johnson match Is to go
by the boards and Johnson elects to
box Palzer it should mean a general
loosening up in the heavy weight di-
vision. Flynn. when he finds himself
fancy free will begin looking around
for rrouole in other directions and he
wl!! have no diff.otlty in securing
dates. It would not surprise the writer
if Tommy Burns and Flynn were
signed up in quick order in case the
Flynn-Johnson venture collapses. If
Burns hesitates or names unsuitable
i terms. Jim has only to say the word
and Joe Jeanette will place himself
at lynn's disposal.

Real Test During Hot Weather.
The real test in the Texas league
begins about July when the hot
weather comes. It is then that the
players who come to Texas for the
first season begin to feel the effects
of the weather and it is often that the
pennant race Is practically decided
during that moath on account of
many of the promising players golm?
to the bad. As there are so many new
comers in the league and the hot
weather Is a killer. It would be hard
to anticipate results before that time
although Sen Antonio and Houston
judging by the showing already made
are the two best bets in the pennant
race. The Galveston club has prob-
ably been put In the possible class by
signing two more men. both of whom
are widely known in this circuit.
They are Heine Maag and Tony Thebo

Chase Will Plar .
Aggressively During
Coming Season.
New York April 13. A new chal-
lenger enters Ban Johnson's lists this
season for mortal combat with the
champion of all diamond knighthood.
Tyrus Raymond Cobb like the "Ger-
gian peach" of Hugh Jennings' mighty
Tiger aggregation he is no novice at
we game. His star was flrmely es-
tablished in fame's firmament long
before the wonder of the generation
signed his first "busn league con-
tract. -Hal Chase first baseman of the
Highlanders aspires to Cobb's crown.
None can deny that Chase in his
art. stands second only to the sensa-
tional Cobb. In many respects the
former leader of the Yankees is su-
perior to even Ty. Chase is the great-
est first baseman of baseball history
he is tbe greatest fielder and the
quickest thinker. He is wonderfully
fast on the bases he is able to break
away quickly and possesses that keen
Intuition of Just when to start so as
to get the break on the opposing bat-
tery. Rarely is he caught stealing and
he pilfers third more often than f-ay
riraL Before he sets fortb on a pur-
loin trip Chase is absolutely sure that
he holds the winning advantage. Chase
ia a good hitter a wonderful batter in
fact nd one of the best men before
the public when it comes to protecting
the runner. Hal is almost infallible
on the batting end of a "squeeae" play.
Will Not Slide Head First.
Just one thing hereafter has stood
between this wonderful player and th
all-around championship. A fault you
mignt can it but it has more the ap-
pearance of a virtue. Hal has been
randlcapped by his charming person-
ality. He -has shown It In every move-
ment on the field and in his every at-
titude of base stealing. He has al-
ways slid head first not because he
cannot progress as cleverly and quick-
ly with the spikes in front of him but
for fear of injuring an opponent.
In bis big league career. Chase has
never cut down a player. In this re-
spect he has always been fair to a
fault against himself Cobb on the
other hand exacts tbe last ounce of
Tiesn. ie will not relinquish' one
inch oi nls ncnt to base lines even if
- ... . - " ' --
the career of an opponent Is tbe price I
year and who have played with va-
rious terms in this league during the
last several years. Maag is reckoned
as one of the best second basemen in
the Texas league and has made good
in the Southern league. He was going
at a top clip with Dallas last year
when he broke his rib and quit for tht
season. He is now in fine physical
shape.
Tony Thebo was raised in the Texas
league. He Is on outfielder and a.
good one wben he will observe train-
ing rules. As he is growing old he
Is getting steadier and it may be that
Maloney. who knows him well will be
able to hold him. He is the fleetest
man on his feet in the Texas league
and holds the record for stolen bases.
While Waco has been shorn of sev-
eral of its highest-priced veterans
through the lowering of the salary lim-
it Catcher Meek being the heaviest
slugger lost the way the Navigators
started off shows the team must be
counted In tbe running despite this
loss. There are still enough veterans
among Owner Davidson's boys to hold
