Champion Takes Up Training Quar-
ters at Scene of Scheduled Fight.

Champion Jim Jeffries arrived in Cincin-
natl yesterday to put on the finishing
touches to his training for his hoped-for
fight with Gus Rubin at the Saengerfest
Hail. in that city, on February 10. In the
party were Joe Eagan, Billy Delaney, Jack
JeffrIes, Bob Armstrong and Jeffries' valet.
The members of the party were at once
driven to the Price Hill House, where quar-
ters have been arranged for them. Seven
rooms have been prepared for the party,
and chef and two cooks have been Sc
cured to look after the culinary wants OF
the training party. 1t is estimated that this
feature of the training alone will cost about
$50 day, Jeffries' manager also being COM
PEELED to pay for all other necessaries per-
tanning to the training of his man.
Jeffries expressed himself as feeling In
perfect health. The work l have done SO
far" said he shortly after his arrival. has
convinced me that my left arm, which was
injured in my fight with Sharkey, Is as
strong as ever 1t was. My general condi-
ton is good. 1 have taken off twenty
pounds since l have begun training, and ex-
pect to be as good. or better, than ever
was when I faced Ruf1lin.'
Naturally, Jeffries expects to get the de-
cision over Rubin. and declares positively
that when the contest is over he Still will
be champion of the world.
Mayor FleiSchmann returned to Cfncln-
natl yesterday after a weeks absence in
New York. He absolutely refused to talk
about the Saengerfest Athletic Club contest
He intimated that there was nothing new in
the situation, and declared that he las no
engagement with any member of the Saen-
gerfest board. At the meeting of the min
istry yesterday the, VARIOUS subcommittee
of the fight committee were continued, and
an arrangement made for Keeping in close
touch one member with another during the
short notice. It "a
I'VE do not expect to do anything Of i'm
portance, but will rest ON our oars" said
DR.. Goss Of the committee. Il am not at
liberty to state just where my authority Is,
but the ministers have it on git-edge basis
that the fight will never take place in Gin
cinnati." ~ 'i
what significance do you attach to the
mayors refusal to talk fight?' was asked.
DR.. Goss unused a BIT and said: 1T is an
other blow in the Knockout series 1t is not
for US to say now what will be done if SUBJ
stantial evidence is given that the Saenger-
fest people really intend to go ahead with
the fight, but you might note incidentally
that the contract for refnodeling the in1e-
rior of the hall has not yet been signed. AS
soon as the Saengerfest directors move so
will we."
Gus Rubin Is now in Akron, and will not
return to Cincinnati until cext Sunday. He
expects to begin training>next week.

AFTER BIG REGATTA.
Boston, Philadelphia, Buffalo and De-
trOit Will Bid for the National.

There are indications that there will be
several bids for the next regatta OF the Ma
tional Association of Amateur Oarsmen,
which could have been secured earlier In
the season for the simple asking. Boston
has 81 900 in the bank for one of these tX-
lures, and the chances are that the New
England Amateur Rowing Association will
bid for the event.
At the last meeting Of the Wachusett
Boat Club of Worcester. wish was ex-
pressed that the oarsmen would meet on
Lake Quinsigamond. and the club officers
already are inquiring about the chances Of
their securing it.
Philadelphia is also In the hunt, and
everybody knows how strong she Is with
the middle states, southern and western
clubs when 1t comes down to contest
The Schuylkill navy has appointed COM
mittee to raise $1,000 to pay for the ma
tional and 1t will report progress in season
to instruct delegates to the next meeting or
the executive committee of the N. A A.
e. e at Ne" h0fA OIL Tue evening -AA''A
Buffalo Is also said to be anxious to Sc
cure the regatta as an attraction during
the Pan-American exhibition, and this
leaves the whole matter in q complicated
state.
With the cash in sight Boston has the
call at the present time. but should the
Philadelphians succeed in raising the sum
they propose to there will be sharp con-
test, with the odds in favor of the Quaker
city. Detroit may take a hand in the bid
ding, as her representative on the national
committee stated last summer that his city
wanted 1t badly for no other purpose than
to boom the sport in that section.
With such interest all over the country
the sport should have even a greater boom
than during the last two years.
Next in point of interest to the national
will be the proposed International series of
races between Boston and Halifax amateur
oarsmen. which Is planned for August at
Halifax.

will Rebuild at Once.

Albert L. Pope of Hartford. Conn.,, who
is in the city to adjust the losses connected
with the recent fire in the Pope building
at S17-S19 18th street, stated today that
the building would be entirely remodeled
and rebuilt at once. Certain improvements
will be made to make the new building
a model showroom for automobiles, for
which the Columbia sales department has
already built up a big business. The fire
has only crippled business for short
time. A temporary store has been opened
at S11 14th street

and Quinn Is to take charge of Milwaukee,
q fact which needs no cFiticising.
EVERY move made by the National
League during the past two months has
tended toward a war. and we have yet to
make the first step In that direction. The
league has tried to take away our players
and done other things to hinder us, yet
here we are, going along at a regular gait
and ready to open up when the time comes.
Outside Of Philadelphia we have secured
all our grounds. and you can say that we
Will have lease ON 2 good place here be-
fore the week Is over. I'VE don't want to
fight. All we ask. for Is a chance for good,
healthy rivalry and competition, but II the
National League tries to start fight we
shall be able to take care of ourselves,
Our motto will be clean, honest ball, with
out fear or favor, and the National League
can play what Kind of ball 1t pleases We
want to please the public, and If we don
we will only have ourselves to blame for
poor business at the turnstiles"
Hanlon Backing Clark,
A special from Baltimore says that there
is no longer any doubt that Ned Hanlon
is directly backing Bill Clarke in the Amer
lean Association scheme. Baltimore 1t was
learned yesterday, Is to be the chief battle
ground of the war between the National
and the American Leagues The National
League magnates think that If they can
knock out McGraw and Robinson in their
base ball venture there they will remove
two of the most dangerous factors in the
opposition to the old league.
Harry Won Der Horst will also put up a
good deal of the cash for Clarke's team
The efforts will be made to make Union
Park the rendezvous of the base ball en-
thusiasts, as-tt was some time ago. Han
Ion will, it is said, put some Of the old
favorites, If he can get them, on the Balti-
more team.
Although not confirmed by McGraw it
was reported in Baltimore Yesterday upon
good authority that McGraw and Robinson
within the last week have also put con-
siderable money in the Philadelphia club
of the American League. They are rapidly
becoming money powers as well as playing
stars in the national game.

Terry McGovern's Plans.

Terry McGovern before leaving Pittsburg
made definite statement as to his proposed
battles and what he intends to do. He said:
so much has been printed regarding
matches that l am seeking and that either
/ or Sam Harris have made that l feel
inclined to state clearly where 1 stand AT
present I do not know that 1 have even
one match definitely arranged. l have
signed contract with the Twentieth Cen
tury Club to fight somebody the club is to
secure, but the matchmaker has not yet
got man for me.
II am willing to fight any of the little
fellows, and + have also agreed to fight
Frank Erne for the lightweight champion

may not do so. AS far as l am aware |

ness begins to lag here / may cross the

A GOOD ROADS CONFERENCE

III New Reform movement.

A practical an'l determined effort is
hC!ng made in Edgclicld TO have a
complete ovcihauling OF it, entire road
system, So az to place it on model and
modern iuGs. Mr.. II. G.. Middleton,
in an interview with reporter OF the
Augusta Chr0niclc. has given the fol-
lowing account of the good reads con-
ference which was held recently ~
EdLcliCld, and which was il complete
success:
The meeting was an exceedingly in.
tclligcnt one, representatives of prob
ably every ncighhorhood in the county
being present, and these rcDrcscnta-
tivcs in the main being the best busi-
ness men Of their nclgLborhoods. They
came together on Il call purely for the
consideration OF radicai bcttcrmnnt Of
the roads, and much confidence is,
therefore, now felt, after such a dis
play of interest that something OF a
positive character viii BE done.
The leading business people Of the
county look upon the matter as one Of
business and development. Lands arc
Aow worth 50 much. The question is
what wll increase thcm? 1t is believed
good roads will do thls-rcaly good
roads, roads laid out by engineers
with only slight rises instead of hills,
and smcuth and hard surfaces.
Prof. Holmes, Of the United States
department Of agriculture made an adj
dress OF much force at the Edyclicld
meeting, and he said he had been over

Two Of the most famous and prvba
bly, the two ablest RecOnsu uctior
Governors were Daniel II. Chamber,
lain, of South Carolina, and Adclberl
Amcs, Of Mississippi. They have
given recently very strong testimony
against the scheme which they were
chosen to assist in carrying out, and
which they found to be based upon such
false principles that its complete failure
was not surprising.
In the Atlantic Monthly a few
months ago Ex-Governor Chamberlain
set forth that Xacha,iah Chandler,
Henry l. Wilson and the other orGani
zcrS and directors of the Rcconslruc-
ton movement were animated neither
by lcva Of the Union nor by deter
%,
but by hatred of the white peoplc of
the South and Il determination TO hunt
late them as much as possible. The
chief aim of reconstruction was "to
put the bottom rail on top.n
Governor Chamberlain contends
that the policy which was directed
against the South for several wears
after the war was, from every point of
view, as discrcdiiable to the states
manship OF its authors as it was to
their IDEAS of fairness TO helpless
people.
EN-GOVcrnor AmcS, while not so Sc
we're upon Thad Stcvrns's cotcric as is
cz.-G 'vcrnor Chamberlain, is quite as
emphatic IN his condemnation CT re
constructlnu as a complete failure. He
admits that he Cdmr 10 the South from
New EnG.HnI with prcconcclvcd no.
torS, which experience proved 10 be
entirely fal.c. He believed that lccls-
latlou could elevate the negro to polit-
cal cq"ali'y with the whites. After
Scclug that Theory !rslCd and helping
TO test 1t nc was convinced that it was
