Pugtilsm Not Dead In san Francisco.
Jack Dempsey was asked recently a
direct question III regard to the oft-re-
peated assertion that he was willing to
meet John L. Sullivan, notwithstand-
ing the difference in their weight.
Dempsey laughed and said: "The
big fellow would pick me up, turn me
over on his knee, and spank me. There
is only one Sullivan"
Talking about the far West, he said:
"Ihave settled in Portland. Oregon,
and expect to live there the balance of
my life. | like the climate and the
Western people,"
Dempsey, IN answer to a question in
regard to fighting being dead in San
Francisco, said:
"The best people of San Francisco
love pugilism, and it will never die
there. | said would stop the fight be-
tween young Mitchell and La Blanche,
and | think | succeeded. 1t islke this:
The people of San Francisco love real

tight me and set to work making

ened on him. They are all irritated at
his refusal to meet and give me satisfac-
faction. ! am convinced that he never
intends to meet me again, and that /

"What about Jackson and Sullivan?'

General sporting Esents.

There was large crowd of d.sap-
pointed baseball enthusiasts at Reed ;
Lake Yesterday. who had gone there
with the expectaton of seeing a game
betweea Grand Rapids aud saginaw
Bay CITY. They waited about the gates
OF Alger Park for nearly an hour, but
the players failed 70 pat in an appear
anee.
EFln&lly an announcement was made
that there Mould be 10 game, as the
Hyphens had not materialized, and the
crowd went away with murmurs of dis
content for gong to the lake on afooPs
errand.
The disappointment was not the fault
of the Grand Rapids management, how
ever, as on Saturday Director Beecher,
while in Detroit, made arrange
ments with the manager of the sagl-
naws 10 come here. Yesterday morn
ing, however, he received a telegram
IN response 10 one sent by HIM
self, saying that the players
of the saglnaw-Bay City team re
fused TO come 10 Grand Rapids and
play. The excuse offered by them was
that they did not intend TO be worked
TO death. They considered that mas
much as they had played two games Oh
the Fourth of July and one yesterday
they had done quite enough. 1t was
nothing more or less than an open re-
volt. The directors, however, did not
feel sure that this was lne real cause OF
their not coming.
Saturday evening Mr.. Beecher tele-
graphed Secretary Allen To call
MEETING OF TIE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Immediately. Ii was held as soon as
Mr.. Beecher arrived and an important
question was discussed. Mr.. Beechel
had been attending the pow WOW
OF the International League magnates
and il was decided that Grand Rapid:
could have what it wanted. The di
rectors therefore decided to remain in
the league, and also TO play Sunday
ball. All Sunday contests will be regu
lar scheduled games. This fact is now
settled, and next Sunday Saginaw
Bay City and Grand Rapids will play
here.

An Engineers Say.

1t the recent meeting of the Locomo-
tive Firemen's brotherhood, in San Fran.
cisco, D. J. Brown, member of the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers
for years, made an address in which he
expressed opinions that are held by many
members of Mr.. Arthur's organization.
Said Mr.. Brown:
1T is good thing to have power, and
then it is wise thing to know how to
use that power with moderation and dis
cretion. know there is some opposition
to federation in our brotherhood. prin-
cipally, I think, in our grand office, and
among those who do not reason for them
selves. but who think as our grand chief
engineer wishes them to.
"Our order is, and has been for years,
dominated by one man. He is an auto
crat in the organization over which he
presides A large portion Of our mem
bership blindly follow him, believing
that his wisdom is supernatural. So far
his influence has prevailed in shaping all
important legislation. but federation, !
believe. is tidal wave whose flow he
cannot check, even with the assistance
of Mr. Chauncey M. Depew. | do not
mean to speak unllindly Of our grand
chief He did well enough in the in
fancy Of the organization, but he be-
longs to the past. The organization has
outgrown him. He is behind the spirit
of the times.
"A mariner on the deck of his vessel
safely riding the storm, and turning
deaf ear to the appeals Of his feilowmen
who are on less secure craft, or are
struggling in the water, is not IL pleasant
figure to contemplate. But. my friends.
say it with regret, that the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers has occu-
pied some such an unenviable position
among the organizations of workingmen,
and charge that it is more the fault OF
the captain than of the crew. We want
leader whose charity goes a little far
Their than his own threshold; one who
has the disposition to aid others besides
those who pay him his yearly salary
The tendency of tie times is toward fed
Grafton, cooperation. The rich combine
and WELD immense power. We must
meet combination by combination, or be
crushed in detail like scattered battal-
ions on the field of battle.
