The charter of Greater New York which

The Boston Journal states that at most
of the New Engiand colleges the conven-

that the college towns OF winning teams

were IN punch bowl days.
1t is stated that the large subsidy given
by the British Government to the new

Europe on even terms with Canada we

1t is said that Libby Prison, which was
removed from Richmond to Chicago dur

show, has ceased to be profitable in that

According to an Eastern statistician the

WILL NOT PLAY.

The Eastern bail players have come and
gone. 1t is doubtful if this coming. play
ing and going have materially increased
the interest in the national game in this
State. That they were great performers
on tho diamond those acquainted with
the game will not deny. In every con-
test, except the first, in which they par
tlclpated something occurred-some bril-
liant play was made-which aroused en-
thusiasm.
1t was particularly unfortunate for the
fasteners that on the occasion of their
hrst game In this city there was such
large crowd present, which overhow wed the
held, making 1t impossible to play the
game.
The men from beyond the Rockies s, in

Boxing when conducted in a proper way
is by far more interes ting sport than many
other pastlmes now in fashion.
Comparatively speaking, it cannot be
compared to football as a sport, which
carries with IL great element of danger.
All sports are dangerous to an extent.
1t has been known where a real live ten
mis- player sufferedgreat injury, the result
of hlow from a tennis ball.
Football players smash into each 9th er
in a way that assuredIy means mischief
and when wounded kicker is carried off
the field to medical headquarters, the
ladies and the good Cd people, who mani
fest a strong opposition to boxing, rise
from their seats and shout "Bravos
Bravo! Well done, good and faithful
player"
The death or manning of a football
player is considered a mere bagatelle, (!
there are Others. But the death of boxer
is heralded ali over the country as being
terrible thing. The country cannot spare
him, especially if he happens to be a game
fellow.
Well, the supposition is that there will
always be opposition TO boxing or so-called
prizefghts, but taxing into consideration
the mum ber of boxing matches held in
this country ana in England during each
year, the wonder is that so few accidents
are chronicled.

The reinstatement of Charles A. Kraft
10 the amateur ran KS not being thoroughly
understood, the following explanation
may be in order: He was declared a pro-
tesslonal by Chairman Welch OF the C. A.
Z. Z. racing board. He did not anpeal
from this decision, but pleaded Ignorance
OF the rules and placed himself before the
board OF governors asking for clemency.
On TINS ground he was reInstated, but one
delegate in particular, speaking for him
sell and the votes ne controlled, stated in
open meeting that he desired it well nm.
derstood that he believed Mr.. Welch's
stand well taken ana would vote to sus.
lain him. On Kraft's appeal for pardon.
however, presented through delegate for
the Bay City Wheelmen, he was willing TO
vote in the affirmative. This is how the
delegates stood who voted in favor of the
motion. Mr.. Welch was upheld and Krafr
was pard oned.

AT the present day boxing, as it is now
considered, is not demoralizlng, simply
because the boys and women who witness
with pleasure young men punished and
manned on the football field are not ad-
mitted to the so-called prize fights.
Those who attend games of fstlc skill
are perfectly sane, also old enough to de-
eide whether by their presence at boxing
contest they add to the pollution of a
great and clean CITY.
