President soden TaIks.

Boston, March 3.-President Soden of
the Boston Baseball club was asked to-
day what he knew about the. probable
reduction of the league baseball circuit
from twelve clubs to eight as outlined
in a dispatch from Baltimore
1T is all news to me-" ne said. 1--WE
desired to reduce the circuit to eight
clubs and had a talk with the Balti-
more people about it at the Cleveland
conference. We asked them what they
wanted to do and what they had When
they told us that they had a lease of
only one year we told them that would
never do and we could do no business
on that line. So negotiations stopped
right there. We wanted lease of five
years at least to protect the league and
prevent anyone from encroaching upon
the territory. l suppose the Baltimore
people have acted upon the suggestion
of the committee. AS a member of the
circuit committee I know nothing Off
cially about further negotiations in the
matter"

Still a Puzzle.
Personnel of the Major Organi-

AFFAIRS COMPLEX
Within a Week of Training
Trips to the South.
President SOden of Boston Gives
His Views.

Chicago, March 3.-With the Ameri-
can association a thing of the past, it
is time the National league magnates
were getting to work to unravel the
snarl in which baseball affairs have
been entangled for three or four months.
The situation has not been SO uncer-
tain and so chaotic throughout the coun-
try since the brotherhood trouble of ten
years ago. 1t now is within a week of
the time for the teams to begin their
spring training and the size of the cir
cult is still in doubt. A well known
Chicago follower of the game, in talk
ing over the situation yesterday, said:
1.-The pigs-in- the-clover and other
puzzles were not productive of more
guesses than has been The baseball sit
uation the present off season. Enthusi-
asts have been all but nauseated by the
uncertainty, mystery and gales of ora
tory and wind with which the game has
been enshrouded. They are eager for a
few facts. They want to know just
what is to be the outcome of all the
trouble. IF the magnates of the Ma
tiOnal league are wise they will trans
act their business promptly and above
board.
THE men who have the Pood of the
game in their hands can not afford to
wait much longer. If it is to be a ten
club league let the public know it. If
the eight-club circuit is to be the out
come let them say so. Now is the time
to announce just what is to be done.'

sHARKEY STILL TALKS.
Sailor Tells How He Will Defeat
Fitzsimmons.

New York, March S.-Tom Sharkey
told today how he expects to whip FitZ-
simmons when. they meet. He said:
"Fitz may resort to long range fight
ing and try to jab me with his left. That
is just where I live. 1 can get by his
long arms. even if L have to take
punch to do it, and then at close quar-
tiers I shall get a wallop over on his
jaw. If 1 land all right, it viii be all
over with Fitz.
Il shall rush him, and he is too frail
to withstand it. In the rush his long
arms will go over my head or around
my neck and then 1 shall rip right and
left to his body. He can't stand many
of the solid punches can send into him
in this way, and when in a rally find
| have him a bit weak or winded I can
finish him with a jar on the jaw.
'Fitz is quick I will admit and has a
good trick of stopping a straight left
lead by throwing it up with his left arm
and while the other fellows side is
stretched and exposed driving his right
to the solar plexus with all the incom-
ing swing of his body. This was how
he put out Jim Corbett. But he can't
do that with me.
If Bob lifts a straight lead of mine
that way l shall bring my left out and
down over his block and hook it into
his kidneys before he can land his right.
I have practiced this blow
I won't allow Fitz to fight me at
long range. 1 shall be coming in all the
time, and know he can't hold me off.
I can send a blow with just as much
force when my fist only travels a few
inches as can if 1 swing it twice the
length of my arm.
I get the power by lifting the jolt
in from the toe up and swinging the
shoulder with it just as it lands. That
kind of fighting will bother Fitz, and he
will be unable to block it.
'Fitz has a habit of throwing his
shoulder up alongside his jaw when he
sees blow coming for that spot. He
has saved himself often by this means
I won't swing sideways for that point. I
viii rush in through his guard and
bring the punch with either hand up in
front of him so that it will land a lit
tie under the chin. That will prevent
Fitz from using his shoulders as a pro-
lection.
When sparring off Fitz often uses a
straight left jab for the face. I can
sidestep this, and while going by him
swing my left to his jaw or stomach.
This blow I can deliver with fearful
force-force enough to break through
Fits guard, if he gets it ready in time.
Taking it all in all, I shall keep fight
ing Fitz all the time. I shall make him
fight all the time. l shall never let him
rest, and in that way shall beat him."

Yesterday one of Lange's intimate

pleases. 1 have no objections against
the frequent assertions that 1 will play.
1t does me no harm, but between you
and me I will not play on the Chicago

A DECIDING SERIES.
Kansas City and Lawrence to Bowl
for Inter-City Championship.

Kansas City. March 3.-The schedule
of the Intercity Bowling league was
completed with the games rolled last

one at Kansas City next Saturday
night.
In case each team wins a game. the
in either Topeka or st. Joseph, as agreed
upon when the schedule was adopted.
Kansas City won easily when they
bowled at Lawrence before, and they
ought to have no trouble winning to-
night. They will endeavor to make it
two straight from Lawrence, so as to
avoid the roll-off, and save the add1-
tional expense they would be put to.

AFTER MERCER AND PADDEN
Philadelphia Club Said to Have Sc
cured the Two PLAYERS.

Pittsburg, Pa. March 81 Earl Wag-
ner, who was here yesterday comforting
with President Barney Dreyfus and
Treasurer w. w. Kerr of the PittSburg
club, left for the east early this morn
ing. He denied that he was after Dono-
van, but-said he came here to sign Win
ME Mercer and Dick Padden. Mercer
signed a new contract with the Wash
ington club last fall and the fact that
he signed another this week leads to
the belief that Wagner was acting for
another club which has purchased the
releases of Mercer and Padden.
One report has it that Mercer and
Padden have been sold to Philadelphia
It is well known that the quaker man
agement has for some time been desir-
GUS of securing these men.
