wants Another Game Played.

Editor Times: l hope for the benefit of
those who witnessed the football game
of last Saturday between the c. A. C. and
the Baltimore Athletic Club that another
game will be arranged, not only for the
purpose of deciding the supremacy OF the
two teams, but also to remove the bad odor
necessarily attaching to a contest winding
up as that did. Personally am an admirer
of the c. A. C. and should liked to have
seen Clark make the touchdown and won
the game for his side, as he, put up one of
the best games have ever witnessed, but
/ am afraid 1t was his very earnestness that
caused him to forget to cry Down" and
thus give room for the dispute to arise. II
another game is arranged I hope the Off
cials OF the game will be eftosen from out
side the two teams, as 1t hardly TO be ex-
pected that those interested will give their
own side the worst end OF anything over
which they are supposed to have iurislic-
eon F0OBALL CRANK.

ON THE DIAMOND.

Now that Chris Won der Ahe has won his
suit against the Wagners, he must be happy.
Baseball fans have become heartily tired
of the controversy and are glad to see 1t
settled. The suit dated back to S91 and
grew out OF the fight between the National
League and the American Association.
1t will be remembered that in order to
enibarrass the League club in Cincinnati
a number of the Association magnatcs Or
ganized n club to divide patronage there.
Mr.. Won der Abe had almost complete con-
troll of the club, which finally went to
pieces. Its debts were paid in full by the
st. Louisan, who then called upon his
brother magnates for their pro rata share
of the losses incurred. The Wagners denied
liability in the matter, and every time the
Senators played in st. Louis President Won
der Ahe attached their gate receipts. Wag
ner did likewise when the Browns played In
Washington and at the end of the season
a considerable sum of money was tied up
at each city.
The managers of the Western Baseball
League completed the club circuit by ad-
mittiEg Toledo and Columbus. Omaha lost
on account of geographical location. The
following clubs are in the league: Indian
apolis, Detroit, Toledo and Columbus in the
Eastern division, and Milwaukee, st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Kansas City in the West
ern division. The surplus money. about
81 800 to each club, was divided, and q
committee was appointed to prepare next

Portland, Ore, Nov. 21.-The following
excerpt from private letter received in
this city from Juneau, Alaska, is given
as Illustrating the feeling among the citi-
zens of that Territory over the boundary
question:
The surveying parties of both cogn-
tries have stopped here Un their way down.
/ touk the opportunity of conversing with
The members OF each. Tie British, while
non-cummittai, carried with them an air
of ASSURANCE which plain said: We have
gained our point; this country is ours
They moved faster than our govern-
ment surveyors, and seemed la think be-
cause they had gone over the ground
ahead of the Americans, by right of priority
the boundary should be changed to the line
they have run, as though this question
could be settled un the same basis as a
mining location dispute.
Our own men contend that, instead
Of the line being moved toward the coast,
as matter of fact England is now occupy
ing Alaskan territory that does not belong
to her and that the line goes east almost
half mile.
..what has worked the people of this sec
ton up TO fighting pitch is the bare posi-
bility of England ever occupying Juneau
and Douglass Island, for If their contention
| is agreed to Douglass Island and the big
| Trcadwcll mine will go to them, through
\ the Alaskan archipelago in this latitude
| stretching far TO the westward.
But, depend uponit. such will never trans

\ try with troops and fill the channels with

ter for the purpose Of organizing a wv ON
ems Auxiliary to the New York Civil Ser

Mr.. SchurZ related a number of incl
dents in his official experience, sh"wing
the unfortunate position of the women en-
ployes of the Government under the old

GLYNN FAXED A KNOCK out
Threw the Fight to Joe Bateman at
the Vendome Athletic Club.
Tough Crowd on Hand-Mnny Fights
Not on the PrOgra IN mme-Rnedy's
COwardly Assault Upon DAILY.

n is to BE- regretted that the opening fight
Of the Vcndomc Athletic Club should have
armed out so badly. II was hoped tha quiet,
orderly contests could be pulled off N the
ucw clubhouse, but that idea was entirely
iissipatcd last night at the Rateman-Glynn
bout.
The Eureka Club saw some tough crowds
At some of its contests. but they always
managed TO keep some semblancc of order.
The contest was pulled off in the old
ring at Stuebner's Road House and the
mob that took it in was about as tough
an aggregation as could be gathered to-
Hether in weeks hunt.
The preliminary bout was six-round
20 bet wecn Pat O'Connor and Billy Nally.
and lasted just one minute and half.
Owing To long wranglc over who should
pfficiate as referee ii was 10 O'Clock
when the men entered the ring.
Pat Raedy and Jim o'Connor looked after
o'Conn"r and Joe Ganey did the hnnors
or Nally. The men lost no time in spar
ing for an opening, but went at 1t hammer
md tongs, and O'Connor was soon on the
'opes and bleeding freely. Nally knocked
iim down as last as he got on his feet,
finally he WAS counted out hanging over
Inc ropes.
Another long wranglc took place as to
who was to referee the Batcnian-Glynn
bout, and finally John Conroy. who is young
Jriffo's hacker and manager, was chosen
20 fill the position. At exactly l O'Clock
The men entered the ring. The local man
was looked after by Pat Raedy and Joe
Wilson, while Tony Stannard handled
Glynn.
rom the ma nncr in which GiynG started
in on Batrnan ii looked ri first as If the
fight would be Il hot one. Glynn had al
the best Of it and ourfought his opponent
at every stage OF the game. In the sev
eDth round he had him all but out. Bate
man was bleeding from a cUt over tue eye
and also had a cash on the side OF his head
To the surprise Of every one but thos'
who were in on the Geal, the Wilmington
boy suddenly stopped fighting and at
tempted to slip down at every opportunity
BatcnIan fell once or twice and Giynr
made feeble attempts to fu;;l him. Fouls
evidently did not 60, however. aId from
then on every time the Wilmington boy
made a pass at him lie woald fall down ol
.linch.
Finally in the early part of the eleventh
round he went down a couple of times and
then when Bateman landed 4 weak blow
On the back of his neck he fell forward,
catching himself us he w>nt, and was count
ed out by the referee.

ANOTHER CUP CHALLENGE.
Sir George Newnes Reported TO Have
One In His Mind.

London. Nov. GA Paris dispatch 10
the Globe gives what purports TO be Il
report of an interview with Sir George
Ncwnes. who was reported to have decided
to challenge for the Americas cup.
Replying to the question whether he would
issue a challenge or not, Sir George is rep
resented as saying that it was possible and
even probable that he would do so. but
before making his decision he would await
the outcome of the present inquiry, grow
ing out of the last race for the cup.
If Lord Dunraven should then decide
not 10 challenge again. Sir George said he
himself would challenge, If he received
the support of the leading British yachts
men in the venture.
The Yachting World, commenting upon
the possibility of Sir George Newnes' chal-
longing for the Americas cup, says: I'VE
hope that Sir George Newnes, who is conf
pletely unknown in yachting circles, has
more sense than to challenge"

SELF-JUDGED AUTHORS.

Scott believed that "Waverley" was
his best novel, and the Lady of the
Lake" his best poem. He and the Bal.
lantynes had more than one lively dis
cussion on the subject, but he would
never admit change Of opinion. He
knew the LADY of the Lake" by heart,
and once repeated the whole to prove
the fact.
Milton regarded the Paradise Re-
gained" as infinitely superior to the
paradise Lost" and once expressed
great surprise that any one should en-.
terrain a contrary opinion. He said
that Of all his works the poem ION the
Morning of Christ's Nativity" wac his
best. 1t was his earliest being writ.
ten in 1920, when he was p years of
age.
Dickens considered David Copper
field his best novel. In conversation
he once declared that next to it In orig.
inality came the 'Pickwick Papers,"
and after them solver Twist" A
waiter In a country inn once brought
him "Dombey and Son. to read, not
knowing. Of course, who he was. He
said he read few chapters, but could
get up little interest.
Longfellow was slow to talk about
his own poetry, but from hints given
by his biographers it is evident that he
considered ''Evangeline" as his best,
and his translation of Dante as second
in point of merit. Many of his admirers
will agree with him as to the first, few
as to the second. He once said, III I
were to rewrite 'Hiawatha' would
use a different meter"
Swift never talked about his writings,
and seemed to regard them merely as
means to an end. this being his own
personal advancement. The "Tale OF
Il Tub" got into print without the
knowledge or consent of the author, but
Swift had sufficient regard for his own
fame to publish a correct edition as
soon as he read the garbled version that
ut first appeared
