AMES IS INDIGNANT.
Mayor Ames is highly indignant at the
action of the chief executive. whose ac.
ton, he believes, is wholly uncaHed for
and in the nature of a personal insult. (
Words cannot express the dOctor's''
feelings. He is thoroughly Disguised
with the step taken by the governor and
says so in emphatic English.
1T Is perfectly outrageous" says the
mayor; perfectly absurd; utterly foOI-
ish; disgusting"
Now that the governor and the attor-
ney general have declared that there
shall be no exhibitions such as was pro-
posed to have taken place tonight, the
mayor declares that he will stop sports
of all kinds where life or limb are put
in jeopardy"
Il am going to take a hand at inter~f
preting and enforcing the laws of this
state from now on said the mayor last
night, after the governors communica-
ton had been received. Hereafter there
will be no football games, baseball
games, athletic contests at the Y NJ c.
A. and the like. l am going to be the
sole judge in these games ana I am go
ing to put stop to them. There is
to be no discrimination on my part"
SPORTS HEAR THE NEWS.
Soon after the mayor had written his
reply officers were detailed to round up
Boyd Frazier, the manager of the ExS'
position Athletic club, and the principals
who were to have taken Part in the bait

party, including Fighters Forbes, Rauch,
Yanger, Cody, O'Keefe and their mana
gers. seconds and trainers. The mayor
greeted them cordially.
Come in, boys; sit down: make yOurs,
selves at home" said his honor "Officers
get some more chairs. I'm sorry
haven't got cigars here. Wait a min
ute and I'll send out for some" The
formidable pugilistic array was at once
put at ease, and the CHEEKY mayor re-
moved in part the clouds of disappoint-l
ment that lowered over the fighters and
the willing hands who accompanied
them.
Then the communications from the
governor, the attorney generals opinion
and the mayors reply We're read to the
crowd, which was all ears.
We'll, that's fine business" said Nam
ager Frazier. It's a wonder he wouldn't
have got that hunch about eight weeks
ago. Everything was favorable then"

said the mayor MY hands are ttza I
love sport as we'll as any of you. ! had
been planning to see the fun tomorrow
night. / had invited the governor to sit !
beside me. but he, evidently, deeS-not

Then there was an informal reception
in which the lighters, trainers managers
ct al. took a prominent part. 1T was
Vcritaole love feast and the men who
are handy with their mitts were thor
oughIy convinced that the mayor was a.

a vote Of thanks was due the mayor, and
every one else in the room was Of the
same opinion
Manager Frazier asked the mayor IL
he thought it would do any good TO in
terccde with the governor. The mayor
was not very encouraging, but told Mr..
Frazier to take his terrible men down
and show them to the governor.
WILL CALL ON GOVERNOR.
BOYD Frazier was of the opinion last
night that Gov Van SAINT had been mis-
Informed as to the nature of the pro-
posed carnival. II am going over to
see him in the morning and explain the
whole affair to him." he said II am
sure he will give his permission if he
knows that it is not to be prize fight.
Soft gloves are to be used ana the fights
arc only for six rounds. 1t was never
the intention to have a sO-called prize
fight. l nm sure the governor will be
ready to listen to reason. If he consents
We will have the exhibit on Tuesday
night. We have gone to great expense
in this affair and l think an injustice has
be eli done US.
