GENERAL SPORTING NEWS

A special from Boston says that Charles
River Park, Just across the river in Cam
bridge. heretofore used as bicycle track.
was leased for base ball purposes yester-
day for term of five years The owners
of the property refuse to give the names of
the parties to the contract but it is we'll
known that the leasing of the grounds is
the first step toward putting a Boston nine
in the American Association next season.
Thomas F.. McCarty, the old Boston out
fielder is the promoter of the scheme He
has been quietly at work since his return
from the league meeting, where he met An
SON. Hough and others interested in the
new association. The announcement that
he has secured grounds is evidence that
McCarty has found parties willing to back
the enterprise. The old Boston player is
well up in the game, and there is no rea-
son why he could not turn out a good team.
Wealthy Philadelphia people and Copper
King Thomas Lawson of Boston are said
to be putting up the money for McCarty.
Mr.. Soden, when asked if he knew any
thing about club to be located in Cam
bridge, ready to join either the much-talked
of American Association or the Johnson
Comisky American League. said:
There is very little chance of the Amer
lean League ever giving up the national
agreement. 1t is anxious to put a club in
Chicago and is working bluff to scare Jim
Hart. johnson and Comsky are not fools
enough to take Cambridge on their circuit
They might like to get Washington and
Baltimore if the league should give up that
territory. as this would give them league
of national Importance and kill all chance
the American Association might have of
making a good circuit in that direction The
American Association no doubt would
like to include Boston on it's circuit, and
may now be willing to take Cambridge as
the next best thing
Mr.. Soden was asked If he would object
to Il club in Cambridge playing under the
national agreement. That depends" said
he 'if there is any attempt to NEEDLE with
players under reserve to the league I shall
protest from the start. but there is no
danger of that we shall not bother about A
Cambridge club until some one has shown
Il disposition to antagonize the league

there is reason to believe that government
clothing is being worn by those who never
carried a gun.
The usual rain coat of the native is made
of the musk of the cocOanut. The fiber is
woven into sleeveless coat, and over this
there is Il cape OF the same material. When
clad in one of these coats the wearer looks
like the cannibals in the picture books.
The legs are bare. the thin, white trousers
being rolled up 70 the thighs. The wearer
tops out his costume with broad-rimmed
nat. generally Of straw. Another prOtec
tiun is made of closely woven nipa, which
fits over the shoulders and slants down so
as to turn the flood that falls to the
ground. This is a good protection if there
Is no wind To drive the rain beneath the
roof-for it is little else than that. The
wearcr looks like Il caricature of a ballet
girl.

can only keep their heads dry. When
their wares are sold they turn the basket

AGAINST PRIZE FIGHTING.
Gov. Roosevelt Recommends the Re-
peal of the Horton Law.

ALBANY, N. Y. January Ex-Governor
Roosevelt in his message to the legislature
recommends the repeal Of the Horton box
ing law, on the ground that when any
sport is carried on primarily for money
that is. as a business-it is in danger of
losing much that is valuable and of ac-
quiring some exceedingly undesirable char
acteristics. In the case of prize fighting,
not only do all the objections which apply
to the abuse of other professional sports
apply in aggravated form, but in addition
the exhibition has a very demoralZng and
brutalizing effect. Moreover, the evils are
greatly aggravated by the fact that the
fight is for a money prize, and is the oc-
