Juuna. and it is rumored that Coffroth's trip to the J southland is solely in the interest of the reopening of tho Tia Juana track on . j Christinas or Xew Year's day. i 1 Jeforo leaving Chicago a few weeks ' ago Cof froth practically came to terms with Jack Kearns for an encounter for f 'empsey, the battlegrou nd to be somc- ! I where over here or over there, but. ac- i ( cording to many well-informed persons, i ; it may possibly be somewhere youth of the. California line in a country entitled I .Mexico. Several hitches hnvo arisen since Cof- i froth and Kearns had their conference. ! Kearns was supposed to show up in San ; I'Yanciscu many days ago, but lie failed I j to show, so Coffroth decided to promote , a southern invasion and find out just . j "where he 'stands. j Dempsey looms np as one of the most involved men in the United States. He . is' supposed to be tied up for a million-dollar million-dollar movie contract in Los Angeles; he : ! lias a tentative date to meet Joe Beckett j ! or some other foreign scrapper In Xew j i Orleans on March 17, and, incidentally, he I j is, according to Kearns, under verbal 1 j contract to pull at least one four-round ! , stunt in San Francisco on some date that ! will not interfere with his headline at- j tractions. . i : Tloy Corhan, shortstop of tho San ' Francisco bail club, may be traded be fore the coming of another season. Man-i Man-i nger ("barley Crahani says that just at i 1 resent ho contemplates no radical change in the infield.

Corhan. says Graham, is one of the great est. in fielders in the league. ; ; but Graham rather favors giving the fans new face.s to look at. Any other club in the league would be glad to acquire the' : services of Corhan, i ho has frequently been discussed as a prospective mau-' mau-' agor. San Francisco Fxamtncr. OICOROKTOWX, K, Dec. 2.
