all idea of securing this most important
golfing plum of the season this year. In

City and nineteen for the Nassau County

AS the former had won by a single VOTE
President Harvey Murdock. OF the latter
club moved that the vote for Atlantic City
be made unanimous. President Murdoch
Of the Nassaus said yesterday in New

Large Amount of Advance Money.
The sum of $4,000 has been paid this
winter by the American League to base
ball players as advance money. This rath-
er startling bit of information was given
out by President Ban johnson in Chicago
yesterday and gives a most vivid idea OF
how the league has secured the stars which
are enrolled with its clubs.
The rather vast sum is divided about
equally among the different clubs, although
Connie Mack of Philadelphia and Manager
James McAleer and President Mat Killilea
Of st. Louis have the most invested.
This sum is the largest amount that has
been paid out during the winter as advance
money In the history OF base ball. said
thought that 5000 or $1,000 would be a
big sum to use for this purpose. but there
are two clubs in the league which have
paid out more than this amount since the
signing OF the old National League players
began"
jackson and waIcotts Fast Fight.
Young Peter Jackson of California made
a strong showing in his six-round go with
Joe walcott, the welterweight champion.
at the Penn Athletic Club in Philadelphia
last night.
Jackson forced the fighting from the first.
and landed several right-hand swings and
an occasional left on Walcotts body
throughout the first three rounds with good
effect
Near the close of the third he landed on
Walcott's jaw hard and the champion slip
ped to the floor. After that jackson had q
hard time. Walcott went after him hard
and administered severe punishment.
though jackson stood Ii well and was fair
ly strong at the finish.
Two Clubs for Indianapolis.
Indianapolis seems destined to have q
little base ball war of her own. Hugh j.
McGowan's denial that he has any fnan-
ciai interest in base ball Is accepted. but
there is an Impression that he would favor
a Western League club. He refuses TO dis
close the name of the indianapolis capital
list interested In the Western League club,
but says he knows the man and declares
that he believes the invasion of that terri
tory by the league il assured. Watkins ds.
clares that he does ne fear q Western
League club.
