Boston NEagnate Opposed to O. Second
Club IN His City.

Boston, Mass, JAN 19--lf President
Soden Of the Boston club had his own
way there would be no ball club on
Charles River park this season
ssAs a. rule said ne, mo two clubs in
a city can prosper because there is a
division OF interest and patronage.
Though i am told Comiskey came cut a
little ahead with his Chicago American
league team last year, think baseball
was injured there in the Brotherhood
DAYS I hold that If two clubs are To-
Gated in one city it will be a case of
the survival of the fittest-'
On the question whether the Boston
club had a profitable season last year.
Mr.. Soden said that was a matter which
did not concern the public but only the
stockholders in the club.
Benjamin d. Hyde. president of the
association which owns Charles River
park desired It to be understood that
he was not interested in baseball and
was not one OF the promoters Of a new
club in Boston
It think Boston viii be included in a
new league and that a strong team will
be placed here he said. THAT is a
strong probability, but. Of course, a
thousand and one things may come up
which will interfere with the plans be-
fore they are completed I have leased
the park absolutely to NIessrs- Irwin
and Hart and am not interested in the
proposed new club here, though by fire.

JEFFRIEs' FIGHTING POSITION
He Says ne Will Never Abandon His
Crouching Attitude.


few visitors at Jeffries' training quar-
tiers today. Indictment weather prevent
ing any but routine work
Jeffries found time to talk and said
in discussing the probability OF ms
abandoning the crOuchlng position
which has become famous:
After I defeated Bob F1rzslmmonS-
I heard many people say that the secret
Of my success in that battle lay IN the
peculiar crouching position that took
OF truth in their talk adopted that
position for many reasons, any one OF
which think is good enough to recon-
mend it.
an the first place It presents an all
most perfect defense against body blows
1t discounted Fitzsimmons' solar ple1us'
you remember
IN the second place it makes it hard
for any one except a man with very
clever left to hit me in the facet ana
even then he can land only lightly
And in the third place. it gives me
a longer reach. This last reason con-
slider the most important of all There
is nothing that gives a man a bigger
advantage in a fight than to have a long
reach. If you can hit the other chap
and get away without a return you have
to win the battle, don't youz Well tnar
IS what a. good. long reach VIII enable
you to do; that is what that crouchlns
position does for my reach
Il never quite appreciated how great
an advantage in the matter OF reach my
crouching gave me until boxed with
Bob Armstrong. He has a tremendous
reach vet when i send my left into
him his glove does not touch men Time
and again when we have been boxing
have made him try to hit me while
held him at arms length Try as he
might, he could not do it.
when / was a novice at the game
used to stand UP and fight my men. 4
received many a hard knock before
earned my lesson Many a time did 1
go down and almost out with stifE
punches in the stomach Then one day
I thought that I would try the crouch
/ ing position / tried it, The fellow that
I was boxing with could not reach my
wind with a battle ak After that I
/ adopted it entirely, and then began to
find out just what a valuable find
had Today I cannot and would not
fight any other way

Experiments With Compressed
Air Being Made.
Becoming Important as Motive
Power in New York.
ECONOMY FAVORs 1T.
Electricity Seems to Have
Reached Its Limit.
Comparative Cost of Motive
Powers by the MiIe.

The Metropolitan Street Railway cotIs-
pany OF New York has just ordered htty
new compressed air motors from Rome,
n. Y. The Metropolitan company has
been conducting an interesting expert
ment with compressed air for some
time and this additional order Of cars IS
taken as Indicating that the plan gives
promise of working successfully. Iecn-
meal publications have devoted mucn
space to the statistics gathered from the
experiments that have been made. Inc
result is about this; The cost OF opef-
ating horse cars is 1888 cents per mile;
that of cable cars, 1875 cents per mile;
OF electric cars. 1916 cents per mile,
and of compressed air cars, II 4S Genus
for the same distance. 1t IS claimed,
however, that the compressed air cars
can be operated as economically as the
electric. The Metropolitan company says
that its COMPRISING plant can handle
six times the number of cars that II
has been required to take care OF VIII
out any additional expense
In claiming for compressed air an al
vantage Or account of cheapneSs II IS
urged that with it's figures crowdlng
so closely upon those of electricity II IS
to be FeFnem bered that the air cars
have not in addition the enormous fixed
charges for the construction OF the road
bed which the electric cars labor under,
so that. with this load added, to the
electric service the balance is greatly
in favor of air cars
Electricity is said to have reached IT'S
limit as q motive power, If for no other
reason that higher speed means wneeIs
leaving the track on tangents. Next
to speed economy is an important FACTOR
and it is this point which leads the COM
pressed air experts to say that they are
ahead. Railroads have been tnre I
with an invasion of electricity instead
Of steam. but little of permanent advan-
taee seems to have been done thus Tar
to the detriment of steam.

there is in the contrast afforded by Gus
and the champion Jeffries' whole attl-
tude ia one Of solidity that adds To the
impression conveyed OF his tremendous
bulk. Rubin, on the contrary gives a
suggestion Of restless activity ana ne
seems never in repOse-
Rubin is as tail as Jeffries, but looks
much taller. He is not built on the lines
of an Apollo neither does he carry out
Jeffries' idea Of the Hercules model
On an experts judgment, Rubin IS
a better boxer. He has something OF the
clever activity of Corbett, with greater
hitting power. He is shifty, fast on his
feet and better able to get out Of range
than his heavier opponent But ne can
hit the blow that Jeffries can AS an
aggressOr, Rubin has a better record
than has his opponent
As an evader OF punches he has shown
himself superior Against him are his
nervousness, his overanxiety and MS
willingness to mix things with any man
who faces him. Against him, too IS the
terrific power of Jenries' punches-ir
they land.
Gus has the reach, but reach counts

BUSINESS IMPROVES.
Trade Is Better Than Is Usually the

New York, Jan 1s.-R. c. Dun &
Co.. weekly review Of trade says:
In most directions the condition of
general business has improved slightly

are steady, as are most manufactured
goods. Orders to manufacturers are
sustained in volume, and that pro
still stimulating business as shown by
bank exchanges at leading cities out
side of New York, for the week 14-2 per
cent larger than in 1900 and 17.S per cent
above 1899. Retail trade has not de-
cIined as much as usual since the holt
days. Textiles show more life A sfnali
but steady Improvement in the demand
has appeared and in the cotton goods
division it is the more noteworthy be-
cause of the weakness in the raw ma
teriaI Sellers of both staple and fancy
cottOns are able to maintain a position
Of Independence
Steadiness is the chief characteristic
of the iron and steel Industry The past
week has brought no new Developments
of striking Importance, and quotations
are unchanged. There is a notable lack
Of new contracts covering large opera
tons, but many small orders are placed
and mills are well occupied on old bus
ness that in most cases will take months
to complete, even if nothing further Of
fers On this account there is no
urgency about securing orders, and no
concessions are made by leading con-
Germs. Export inquiries are fewer but
manufacturers exhibit no concern on
this point. Work is 50 vigorously prose-
