Soden Expects Louisville and Cleve-
land to Quit the League

Boston. Dec. 23.-President A. II. So
den of the Boston club in an interview
today said:
L do not think there is any question
that Louisville and Cleveland will drop
out before the next season opens. AS
to Baltimore and Washington, do not
know, but 1 hope they can be induced
to withdraw. OF course, if worst came
to worst, we could worry along with a.
ten club league and a fairly good sche-
dule might be arranged for such
number of clubs, but ten club league
would be a Iop-sided. unwieldy affair
six clubs in the east and only four in
the west-and is not to be desired
rs it true, Mr.. SOden, that the league
is willing to buy out the clubs which
win or may be dropped from the cir
cult ?" was asked.
Il don't know any more about that
than you do" replied the magnate.
Mr. SOden did not say whether he
would be willing to pay any money for
franchises, but it was easy to see that
he hoped some other arrangement could
be made In fact. although noncommit-
tai on the money question, he seemed
to think that Baltimore and Washing
ton and the two western cities would
leave the National league without be-
ing paid to do so.

sRIFEY GEORGE DIXON.
Is Training Very Hard For His Go
With McGovern.

New York, Dec. 23.-Owen Ziegler,
the well known heavy weight, who has
been spending a couple of weeks at the
springs of West Baden, Ind, tells some
things about George Dixon, who is be-
ing treated there. thar are interesting
at this time. He says that Dixon is
preparing to train as he never trained
before, in order to be at his best when
he fights Teddy McGOvern on January
9Th
The colored champion has made it
known that he considers McGOvern a
wonderful fighter, and that he can take
no possible chance with the young
Brooklynite. The fact that Dixon
started in as early as two weeks ago
to do his preparatory training work
would be proof enough of that, even
if George did not admit it by word Of
mouth. The regular system adopted
goes further to show how much Dixon
is in earnest. He takes a bath every
day, alternating between the mud and
the sulphur. and INDUCES in plenty OF
light exercise and road work, as we'll IS
doing the boxing act with any fellow
who comes along. And this is only a
starter for the hard work which comes
later Ziegler spared with Dixon sew
eral times, and says the feather weight
champion had lost none of his speed.
AS Owen once trained for a period of
FIVE months with Dixon down Coney
Island way, about four years ago, and
boxed with him every day, Ziegler is
a competent authority on that point
So it looks as though Teddy McGOvern
win find Dixon in great shape on jan

ERNE-o'BRIEN.
Can't Get to an Agreement on the De-
tails of Match.

New York, Dec est seems as if
another championship battle between
Frank Erne and Jack O'Brien is as far
off as ever. The managers of both
men met Matchmaker COnSidine last
night and, while articles were drawn
up and both were willing to sign, when
it came to selecting a referee the slip
up came. COnsidine said he was willing
to give a $1,000 purse, and this was
satisfactory. Both principals appear
anxious to definitely settle the question
of supremacy, and if they can decide
on a referee the match is as good as
made. When COnsidine saw there was
no chance of the men coming to terms
he tore up the articles of agreement.
The date is open for them at the Broad
way club if they come to terms.
Dougherty says O'Brien is ready to box
at any time and Smith says the same
for Erne.
O'Brien today said: MY next fight
Will be with Erne. [ will take on no
man before Erne. There need be no
hurry about signing articles. We could
not come together before the end of
January, and there are several details
to be arranged and described in the
articles before that document is made
complete. But there will be no trouble
about that. In a few days I shall go to
the springs at West Baden and take the
purifying and cleansing baths for
a week or more. After that the hard
work will begin, and all for Erne. Erne
and I will settle that championship
question before very long.

ositions For Billiard Matches.

New York, Dec. 23.-"Wfzard" Jake
Schaefer returned from Chicago last
night and Immediately issued a three
headed challenge to Student George

SlOssOn at 1S-inch balk line in public
and play 1900 points against 1000 for
SlOssOn; the match to be of two nights
duration, in blocks of 500 against 500
points, for from 81 900 to $1,000 side.
SecOnd-Schaefer will guarantee SlOs-
son $1,000 for an S00-point even up
match at cushion caroms. two nights
play, in blocks Of 400 points; the match
to be played one night at SlOssOn's and
the other night at Schaefer's. accom-
modatiOnS to be arranged for from 500
to 200 spectators, the gate receipts to
be taken by Schaefer, win or lose; also
a side bet.
Third-At either 1S-inch baIk line or
cushion caroms, two nights play in
their respective rooms Schaefer to pay
all expenses and Slosson to take IS per
cent of gross receipts, win or lose; also
a side bet.
In this event of SIosson being dis
satisfied with my proposition said
Schaefer, let him make me some sort
of an offer. am here to play billiards
and VIII give away a great deal in or
der to get on a match. My choice for
referee would be Adrian c. Arson Of
Chicago, or any other honest man.

After Freedman and his associates
have picked their team the magnateS
will turn to Chicago and consider ways
and means to strengthen the amiable
Harris aggregation of Over-rated second
rates. Hart may be given the OppOr-
tunity to draw out from the small army
of unemployed players controlled by
the league a sufficient number of men
to enable his new manager, Lotus. to
place a fairly strong team in the field.
AS for Brush, he will be given the
few players he wants, as when the
cards are shuffled Freedman will have
a few honOrs to spare.

TO LEAVE THE POINT.
Dewing & Sons are Going to Southern
West Virginia

POINT MARION, May 10-Dewing
s. Sons have sold their timber land
and their mills, and the mills will be
removed from here. The Land con-
sists of Learly 10, 900 acres of timber
and is situated on Skaters fork of
Cheat river in Randolph county, W.
Va. The sale includes the logging
plant and river driving outfit, saw
mill, which is to remain here one year,
and the planning mill, which is to re-
main two years, or the former until
all the logs are sawed up and the lat
ter until all the lumber is worked up.
The firm has between two and three
thousand logs in the river to be sawed.
The consideration is 5000, 900 and the
parties purchasing are connected with
the leather interests and also the wood
pulp mill interests. 1t is expected
that the sawmills and planning mills
will be removed and located on a Iew
railroad to be built northward into
the timber tract from the nearest
point on the Chesapeake & Ohio r.
r., and hence the timber will then &C
east. All realize that the removal OF
these mills will be serious loss to
Point Marion and vicinity, and re-
greet that circumstances have so COM
hined as to cause the removal.
