PARIS, September 26.-The French for

with Great Britain on the subject of Mo-

general good understanding.
The officials fatty deny that France is
entertaining schemes for a protectorate
over or conquest of Morocco, and express
surprise at the persistence of the press
reports attributing such plans to France
and asserting that Great Britain's consent
has been purchased by concessions In
Egypt.
The utmost that could happen In the case
of certain eyentualities would be that
France would exercise her right Of assisting

McGRAW HAS MORE TROUBLE
I'm HOLDING THE GIANTS TOGETHER
Jack Warner Has Threatened to Leave if He Does
Not Get What He Wants

Manager McGraw is having no end
of troubles with members of his team.
McGinnity and Bresnahan having kick
ed out of harness with indications that
several more will follow them. -.
A few days ago Jack Warner charged
unfair treatment and states that unless
he gets what he asks that he too will
join the exodus of Giants, headed by
Iron Man" McGinnity. and cast his
lot with the California League.
Nor is he one whit less forceful in
making his statement than was McGin-
nifty. If he does not mistake the tenn
per of his fellow players, every one has
a grievance against Mr.. Brush, and
one that they are determined. to avenge
by asking for an increase in salary.
Alleged broken promises are at the bot
tom of all this ranking, and In telling
of the matter Warner said:
UNLESS they give me what I ask I
will not play another season with the
New York team. Much rather would
take the same course as McGinntty
and go out to the coast. If McGinnity
goes l may go along under any cir
cumstances, for the treatment 1 re-
ceived from John T. Brush was nothing
less than disgraceful. Nothing Nc
Ginnity said in any way exaggerated
the way in which we have been treated.

my throwing hand at that. l went in
and caught game after game, thinking
that thus helping the team to win

would bring the promised reward.
Then, too. 1 was suffering from a
bruised ankle, hit by a pitched ball,
but for all our, personal sacrifices we
have received nothing.
Med Hanlon, l am told, would Ike
me to play with him, and he can have
me if he can make the necessary ar
rangements, for have never yet heard
of ball player who had cause to COM
plain of Hanlon. If he can secure my
nifty as we'll. But of one thing there is
no doubt, and that is that l will not
play with the Giants unless get the
money l want"
While some of the other players may
be as disgruntled as they say they are,
there is one that is saying nothing, the
same being one "Chesty" Mathewson
AS matter of fact. he has already
put his name to the end of a contract
for next year. but he will not say
whether or not there has been an in
crease in salary. He talks. however,
as if there has been, and doubtless the
assistant manager will draw a few
hundred additional during 1904 If this
is all McGraw has to start with. he
must be worrying.
This kicking over-the-traces by ball
players seems to be spreading. and the
members of the Worlds Championship
team of Boston are now putting pres
sure on the management. Mr.. KILL
lea, however. has not been asleep. and
has already made arrangements to
trade some of his players. The war
is on, nevertheless, and the club owner
does not propose to let the men do all
the fighting.

SEVERAL CARLOADS FROM ATTAIN

JOCKEYS COMING NEXT WEEK.
MANAGER HULL WILL PROBABLY
GO TO LATONIA FROM ATLANTA.

Those TO Arrive To-day - The
Track Is in Perfect Condition and

LntOnia to Try and Get More
HOrses-PrOmisc of Good Season
for Race Meet.
Several carloads of thoroughbred
runners are expected to reach Savan-
nah to-day from Atlanta, where they
have been racing for the last two
weeks. Very few of the horses that
started in Atlanta will stop in Macon
for the few events for small purses
that will be run there next week.
AS soon as the horses arrive they
will be assigned to stalls and a permit
given to the owners to use the track
for exercise purposes. BY the middle
of next week a scene of the greatest
activity will be presented at the race
course, and it is expected that not
less than hundred horses will be on
the grounds getting ready for the
races commencing Nov 4.
Manager Hull of the Racing Associa-
ton is in Atlanta, and he may not re-
turn to Savannah until the middle of
next week as he has about decided to
go to Latonia and see if he cannot get
an additional number of horses from
there.
Among the horses that are expected
to arrive here to-day are those of H.
G. Schultz, which are Honolulu, Shrine,
st. Juvenal, Pearl Finder, Moorhen,
Reformer. and Miss McKenna. The
string belonging to Mr.. T. o. Mcbride
of Savannah is also expected to-day
Most of the jockeys now riding in
Atlanta will stay in the Gate City I'M
til next week sometime, but all of the
exercise boys will be brought along
with the horses, and the work of try
| ing the horses out on the track here
will commence early Monday morning.
If the weather keeps up as it is now
the season will be ideal for the meet
| here. 1t will, however, undoubtedly
be a little cooler, which will only add
zest to the sport.
Among those who will winter here
will be j. r. Hand, who has a large
string of runners this year. Hand has
attended a number of meetings in
Savannah and is we'll known here.

stronger, besides he is a long distance
fighter. and always fights better after
ten rounds has passed and finishes
strong. On this we are working, for
knowing that Thompson has done most
of his boxing in limited round bouts,
we are working to be good enough to
keep him busy for the first ten rounds
and then Miller will cut out the pace
and 1 am positive that Herman will
get the decision"
This statement was made known to
Thompson, who smiled and said: well,
can go Bit too, when l have to,
and when once a fellow gets warmed
up, it don't make much difference how
far he goes. 1t never does with me.
THE last time we met my friends
told me after it was over that it was
a fine go, and l guess it was, but 1
was so busy that 1 could not tell; ali
1 know is that Miller kept me good
and busy, and that I made him step
some.'
The rivalry between these two men
is very strong, for they both are anx-
ious to box Matthews during fair
week, and knowing that the winner
will get the match, both men will fight
hard, trying to land the winners end.

MILLER TIPS HIS TACTICS
OFF TO BOBBY THOMPSON
Will Wear the Cycle Boxer Down in First Ten
Rounds.

Bobby Thompson will have no easy
task before him when he enters the
ring. next Thursday. Miller is working
as he has never worked before. Miller
has proven his worth in many a hard
fought battle since he arrived here,
and has held his own with all. While
it is true that Jack Ryan put him out
in seventeen rounds, but at that time
he was not the Miller of to-day He
had just recovered from a severe ill
ness, and had not had time to gather
his strength.
The way that Miller is working these
days shows that he realizes that in
Thompson he will meet a man who
will give him the fight of his life and
he is working as he never worked be-
fore. His trainer, Billy Varoney,
claims that Thompson will find him
different man than he did in Philadel-
phia the last time they met. Herman
