THE DIAMOND


According to the New York Tribune,
Byron Bancroft Johnson seems to fancy
himself a special commissioner appoint
ed to carry out the divine will regarding
baseball affairs-he is thirsting for re-
venge. If this is true, then It is self
evident that Ban may be a good base
ball manipulation. but hat he is a poor
Christian. This is how the situation is
treated by the Tribune:
"Wouldn't it be poetic justice and
sweet revenge for Ban Johnson II the
American league should drop Indian
apolis at the same time it invades the
preserves of the National league? The
dropping of Indianapolis 'would be justi-
fed if only for the sake of the jokeron
John T.. Brush.
LAS a practical joke it would beat any
thing that has happened in baseball
since Brush, by a similar joke, gained
a foothold in baseball and chased Aaron
Stern out. Perhaps some do not see the
joke, but its point is sharp.
Brush owns the Indianapolis club.
He got into baseball because George
Burnham organized some citizens and
fbluffed indianapolis into the circuit in
stead of Kansas City. Then the league
wanted Brush to take the Cincinnati
club and lead the flght against the assoc
citation. Brush said he could not afford
it. Then the league voted to allow Brush
a salary and a sum not to exceed $1,000
to maintain the Cincinnati club. Brush
consented. Before the war was over he
had drawn $23, 900 instead of 5000.
"W1hen peace came and the league and
association were getting Strengthened
away again, all sorts of obligations We're
Cancelled. During the cancellation Brush
succeeded in getting his Indebtedness to
the league Cancelled and retained full
control Of the Reds. Then he issued
stock and became the benefactor Of
baseball. He has since getting into base
ball succeeded in dragging the game
down, according to the opinion of a great
many people. Owning the Indianapolis
and Cincinnati clubs, Brush inaugurated
the farming system and carried it to an
extent which was injurious to both
leagues.
Now, in those days there was down
In Cincinnati a plump, innocent-looking
baseball scribe who wrote things abou,

have thought of ground glass or the vice

league. The next year he wished he

didn't like the way the Indianapolis club
was s~yndicated with Cincinnati. He saw
the possibility of a league standing in
the same relationship to the National

THE RING

George Siler is justly regarded as one
OF the greatest, if not the greatest, au-
thority on pugilistic affairs in the world.
Therefore, when he takes up the subject
OF boxing contests between white and
colored fighters and discusses it from
the pure standpoint of race prejudice, his
observations cannot fail to be of interest
to ring followers the country over. His
remarks OF the question, contained in a
Windy City paper, are as follows:
THE matching of colored pugilists
against white pugilists has been the
cause of much ill-feeling and controversy
ever since pugilism secured a firm foot
hold in this country. Years before the
present day boxers saw the light Of day
the pitting of blacks against whites was
like a thorn in the sides of the major
portion of fight followers, and the anne
feeling exists today.
81 can recall but three colored pugilists
who were treated as whites, both in and
out of the ring, n they were George
Taylor, Peter Jackson and George Dixon.
Taylor was a clever lightweight who
boxed round New York City early in
the 7O's, and Jackson and Dixon are we'll
known to all lovers of pugilism.

Of friends in his own city, but was in dis
favor west and south of his town. He,
like Taylor, Dixon and jackson, was a
gentlemanly fellow, always behaved
himself, but his color was against him, as
it is with those of his race who follow
the profession today.
II canno state positively whether the
feeling against colored fighters meeting
white fighters is stronger now than it
was thirty years ago, as there We're but
few colored boxers in those days, and one
was not bumped so forcibly against the
feeling which exists toward them. But
despite this hatred for the colored boxer,
when pitted against a white. fight pro-
moters n managers continue matching
them n undoubtedly will continue do
ing so long after we have Joined the
has beens.
Fight promoters generally are CON-
PEELED to shoulder all the blame and re-
sponsibility for the exchanging Of blows
between the two races. and the question:
Why do promoters persist in matching
them?' has been put to me times with
cut number.
1.-THE question is a serious one. 1 have
given it much thought, and yet have
been unable to find ways and means to
prevent the white and colored boxers
from meeting in the ring. The negro, like
the white boxer, is here to stay, and like
the White u fight or get out of the
business. The black 'pugs' are in the
minority, and if they depended upon
earning a living in pugilism by fighting
among themselves they'd starve. That
might be a good way to get rid Of them.
But car it be done?
THAT I him under existing circum-
stances is impossible. and for various
reasons. The colored boxer, as a rule,
has a white manager. All fight promo
ters are white. Therefore, when a col
ored lighters manager seeks a match he
necessarily is compelled to talk business
with the white promoter. The latter then

With all their patience, American race
goers would hardly stand for that.
But read his lordship has to say:
Not even the Boer war, nor the Irish
home rule question, nor any other con-
troversial subjects Yer led to
more pickering and heated argu-
ment than the question of the superb
GRITTY or inferiority of the American sys-
tenn of j~ockeyship over the English.
For in the first place there is a vast
d~ifference-a difference that, to my mind,
old and experienced sports
men time after time have failed to
grasp-but l shall return to that differ
ence later.
AT this moment, anyhow, of the thou
sands who came to scott the monkey on
the stick as Sloan was described, sure
ly not one is left. l was one of the
scoferS, and never shall l forget. it; it
was at Newmarket-the contemptuous
feeling within me as l saw the little
American go dow in the preliminary
canter for one of the races doubled up
and c%rouching down for all the world as
though he was e~ndeavoring to escape
from some pursuing foes who We're rain
ing bullets around him; and never shall
l forget the sensation l experienced
when l saw the crouching quiet figure
lying in the front as soon as l could
distinguish horse and jockeys, and sail
home without even moving, while be-
hlnd rode a mob of wild men waving
their failS in vain. In one ome I
knew that the English method of riding
fiat races was wrong, anu had been
wrong for generations.
The reader must not imagine from
this that l am trying to prove, or wish
to maintain, that the American jockeys
are finer horsemen than the English.
On the contrary, I am quite certain
they are not; in fact, it is quite impos-
sible for them to have the same COM
mand over their horses as our boys, with
their long high grip. Nor would it be
possible for them to ride over a country.
Yet this has in reality nothing to do
with the question, which is simply this:
Which system wins oftenest in the long
rum and I have no hesitation in saying,
to use racing pariance, the American
system walks in
In conclusion we have to be thankful
to the American jockeys for one thing
they nave broken up a little gang that
that the owners of thorough
bred horsese were pudding-headed peo-
pie. sent into this world to be plucked,
that the ring leaned over the rails
for the benefit Of an ill-educated but
little clique.
And let us hope this gang will never
together and practice it's knav-
ish tricks under the Yankee flag as we'll

scouts around for a fighter, generally, a
white, to meet the colored man, and the
match, nine times out of ten, Is arranged.
'On the night of the fight as soon as
the colored boxer puts up his hands
voices from all parts of the house can be
heard advising the white man to knock
the negro's head off. But do the advisers
inc partisans ever think that the colored
man was placed in the ring by white
men? And that a white man matched
him because he wanted to see the white
fighters head knocked off his shoulders
or receive a good beating? c '
IF it is disgusting to some and obnox-
ious to others to see a colored nan fight
ing a white, why not censure the latter
for fighting a colored man? The white
pugilist. to my way of thinking, is more
to blame for the affair than is the colored
boxer. Fight spectators. however, do
not take that view of it. and instead of
scoring the white men who matched the
colored man and the white fighter who
condescends to meet him, they score the
colored man.
That, however, is not all, as race feel
ings are so strong it often blinds the
spectators to such an extent they see
only the good points of the white man.
All men are considered equal when they
enter a contest, regardless of race or ma
ticnality, and those who cannot con-
scientiously take that view of it should
censure, if anybody, those that are ac-
ccuntable for the contests and the white
man for agreeing to meet the black.
Human nature. however. is a peculiar
thing. especially with reference to race
prejudice in pugiiism. When a crack
erjack colored fighter challenges a
white man and the latter does not ac-
cept the def a cry will Immediately be
raised that the white man is afraid to
fight. That is, the public abuse him for
lodging the colored nan n when
finally he is sandbagged into meeting
the colored man the latter falls heir to
the abuse previously heaped upon the
head of the white fighter. Funny, is it
not? But, nevertheless, it is true.

THE

A California football field was the
scene of a lively scrimmage last Satur-
day. The annual football game between
the San Jose and Santa Clara High
schools took place on that date, the result
being % to 5 in favor of Santa Clara.
PARTISAN feeling always prevails at
these games and on this occasion it broke
out in an open fight near the close of
the contest when the San Jose colors
were being trailed in the dust. The melee
started in the grand stand among the
students and before it's conclusion sew

noon rolled UP a score of IS points against
the Carlisle Indians in the annual foot
ball contest between the teams of the
two institutions, while the Indians fail

The Yale eleven played with unexpect-
ed strength and the speed and dash of
the New Haven players was as emark
able as their strength. The experts, how
ever, in commenting OF the probabilities
of the coming Yale-Harvard game, pro-
claim that while Yale's work was equal
to that of Harvard against the same
team. the Indians lacked that vigor and
finish of play that characterized their s.
