Teacher says we might as well hold off for a while and walt for the map to settle, Joe Boehling's efforts to come back with the Cleveland Indians were brief After a week spent in the camp at New Orleans he concluded his case was a hopeless one, and no- tified Manager Lee Fohl that he'd go back to his home in Virginia and for- get about baseball. The Oakland team of the Pacific Coast League énjoys the novelty of having three men on its list who have acted as manager. They are Del Howard, present boss; Honus Mitze and Rowdy Elliott, both of whom tried leading the Osks for a while. Jack Flynn, the former Leaf, who managed the New London team and won a pennant with it ,thinks he can revive baseball there, in spite of the refusal of business men to back the club, and he has announced that he "fil make a canvass for supporters to save the franchise in the Eastern League. The Kansas City Club is said to be banking on Carmen Hill as a pitcher this season, but reports from Oil City have Bill going into parnership with Ben Shaw, Pittsburg catcher, and Jake Pitler, infielder, in some sort of business or other and playing ball on the Oil City independent team for a nide line Toronto May Get Tesreau. There is a probability that Jeff Tesreau, the mammoth spit-baller, who virtually made his start with the Toronto club, may return this season. Manager Gibson has been given permission by Manager Me- Graw to talk business with the big fellow. . '"Tessie,"" as he is known in big league circles, was the lead- ing twirler for several 'seasons, bw in thé last two years McGraw Nas not used him to any extent. He was a wonder when with the Leafs and there is no doubt but that he would prove a winner in the International League. Catcher Snyder, it is an- nounced, has been secured from Brooklyn. He is reported to be a good backstop. If he wasn't' Gib- son wouldn't take him on.. Being a catcher himself, "the Leaf's man- ager knows a good workman when he sees him. Baseball in Lisbon, Capiain Armand de Masi and Ad- jutant-General Bramard, American military attache here, arranged a baseball game at Lisbon between the crews of the submarine chasers Leonidas and Warrant. It was the first game ever seen in Portugal. The Leonidas club won, 16-2. : President Castro was officially represented at the game, the ceipts of which were given to the institute for re-education of war BRINGING UP FATHER "feripples. tos RUINOUS Alice--You were foolish to gat angry with Marie just because she kept you waiting, Jack--But, Great Scott, | was wait- ing for her with a taxi. 5 MY UD MEASURE OF SPEED How fast Is your car?

Jim Corbett, former heavyweight champion, and the last Irishman. to hold the title, has volunteered his services as trainer for Dempsey when the latter starts, his heavy work for the bout with Jess Willard, It is but ftting that Corbett should lend his every assistance to help condition Dempsey. What a far ery it is from September, 1892, to July 4, 1919. It was in 1892 that| Corhétt did the seemingly impos- | sible when he lowered the colors of | the once invincible John L. Sulli- van. ¢ By that one battle Jim = Corbett raised himself from the lowly level of a hard working clerk to that of the most talked ofzman in the ath- letic world. He has made several fortunes since that never-to-be- forgotten night in New Orleans, has always retained his great poputar- ity, has never been othey than a credit to the profession he adopted accidentally and is to-day one of the big stars of the silent drama being featured in many motion pictures The popularity that came to Cor- bett by his victory over Sullivan is already with Dempsey. On his present tour he is being idolized. u J Germans Not For Olympiad. Announcement that the Interna- tional Olympic committee has chosen Antwerp for the Olympic games in 1920 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, president of the commitiee, at a meeting in Lousanne, Switzerland, to celebrate the twenty-fifth anni- versary of the re-establishment of the Olympics, was applauded warm- ly. The baron said he had sent a telegram this morning to King Al- bert of Belgium announcing the de: cision of the committee. Neither Great Britain, the United States hor the Central Powers were represent- ed at the meeting this afternoon. Baron de Coubertin denied the truth of the report that the French would refuse to parlicipate in the next Olmpiad if the Germans take part. Sporting circles here doubt that the British and Americans will enter games with the Germans and Austrians next year. The Olmpic committee is making an effort to prevent the hatred en- gendered by the war from raining the sporting spirit after the war, but recognizes that it has a difficuit task ahead of it. os -------- The Vernon Club of the Pacific Coast League '& deal with the made Pittsburg Nationals for the services| of Infielder Jake Bitler, but the play- er has raised objections to going so far away from home, and the trans- fer is blécked for the time being. are so self-confident "The last A WEAK MARKET Job Hunter--Te!l me, sir, is there no demand for brains in your busi ness?

Owen "Moran, thesEnglish feather weight boxer, is back on the Pacific coast after an absence of several years. Moran was recently dis- charged from the army, where he held an officer's rank in the quar- termasters' department. Owen has just returned from the battlefieids of France. For many months he was stationed at Ypres. Moran is in good. condition and said that he would return to the ring in the near future. He weighs about 128 pounds, the weight he fought at when he met the best men of his class. The Englishman think: that he will stand a chance with some of the present day feathers. bout Moran engaged in was in London Jast September, When he stopped "Darky" Dolph, lightweight champion of the Eng- lish army, in one round.

At the meeting of the Henley Re- gatla Committee it was announced that the King will present a special trophy for the race for eights for crews from the Allied forces, which will be decided at the Henley Re- £atta on July 4 and 5. The King's cup will undoubtedly ddd to the in- terest inthe racing, and it is anti- cipated that in addition to Great Britain 'entries will be made by Australia, Canada, New Zealand and possibly by the United States, France and Belgium.
