us rim. II Is to be hoped the brokers
VIII get together and DO something for
the game.
Robert Fitzslmmons dedlcates his
book, just of the press, as follows;
To one whose beauty through each
changing year Is yet unchanging,
And through whose eyes ! have seen
the light and the right,
My ight when all else was darkness
and uncertainty
And whose companionship sh0ne with
gentle luster for all that was good
and bright,
That shines ever for me In the paths
Of truth and happiness'
My guiding star my wife,"
Now that A. G, spaldlng has taken
the initial step to abolish secrets IN
matters pertaining TO baseball, some
thing like the following may be ex'
pected at any times
Chicago Jan. lS--Dear All Every

OF course, II Is impossible that there
be two great baseball leagues In the
country, but there can be one great
big one and one not quite so big. You
know. BAN. ~ j.
Hockey IL becoming highly popular
In the east as may be seen from the
following description Of q game played
last week IN Brooklyn' Men We're
knocked down on both sides, The
Brooklyn scored first blood. Ahillips
was sent % the Ice hard by lie Mon
tngne, aud when he arose his nose bled
freely. The players were diverted from
the game a moment by the exchange
OF punches between lie Montague ana
Phillips. Both men were ruled of by
the referee II Is presumed that Mar
outs Of bloomsbury rules governed.
But little has been done in sporting
circles this week a few games OF
hockey, couple Of basket ball games,
great deal OF talk about a mile race
track for horsemen some pugilistlc talk
and a baseball meeting that did not
take place, The horsemen say the pro-
posed horse show Is a 20 for sure, and
that II win take place here next August,
AS to the mile track Mt Agricultural
park. they say they have offered the
fair people big inducements and there
is a good chance for the proposition to
go through.
Gus RuhlIns conduct since he 'Nas
defeated by Jim Jeffries at Frisco has
won for him the admiration OF the
sporting world. After he finished up
his theatrical tour he made for his
home in Akron, and has been there ever
since, He has been taking things easy,
and Is not mixing up IN any way with
other peoples affairs Gus is a good
fellow, and lis pity that he has not
made more progress In the pugilistic
game. AIa defeat by Jeffnes was a
hard blow to him, but he has not been
breaking into print every other day
with different excuses lie Is willing
10 begin anew, and might be given an
TO begin anew, and might be
given another chance. Rubin Is
training Art Slmms for his so
with Martin Duffy, which takes place
the latter part Of this month. He will
second Slmms against the Chicago box
or, and, like all Of Sims friends, thinks
the Ohio boy will win. Another good
trait about Rubin is that he Is always
willing to help the younger element
along In the profession and II is safe
to say that big good-natured Gus has
not an enemy among the hundreds OF
boxers who are on speaking terms with
him.
