BASEBALL SITUATION
AGAIN IS STRAINED
Foul-Strike Rule and Warning
Coast League Likely to Cause
Trouble.

NEW YORK, Dec 26.-Vague rumors of
war again prevail in baseball circles. Dur
ing the past week the situation has
changed, and the two major leagues are
fast spreading apart and stretching the
peace agreement so that it is almost ready
to break. After the joint session last spring
the two leagues were together and uniform
in all matters of baseball. To-day they are
apart on a few things that are almost sure
to lead to wider separation.
The older organization has done things
during the past season that were ranking
to the Americans. No trouble, however,
was made. The older league advanced fur
Their into the territory of war during Its
meeting lately in New York city, when 1t
allowed the Brush-Friedman combination to
dictate without any visible reluctance. The
new league retaliated in way by voting
to abolish the foul-strike rule at its meet
ing, point on which the National League
was unit in favor of retention.
Another condition that brought on the
present feeling between the two leagues
was the outcome OF the post-season series
last fall. In every instance except Chi
cago the new league came out victorious.
1t was a hard blow for the National
League. The magnates did not wish to at
tempt the games another season, so they
heightened the season, practically cutting
off all chances. The American League
members We're compelled to do the same
thing as otherwise they would be hampered
in getting the best results in a financial
way at the opening and closing games.
Now some members of the National League
come out and accuse the Americans or
copying the policy OF the older organiza-
ton.
The National League has lost many
players to the outlaw coast league, and
at the meeting this winter appointed a
committee of one to work with the Amer
lean organization in persuadng the coast

many losses TO the outlaws, and, although
the question was considered at the meeting,
the league took no action on the matter
further than to leave it to Ban Johnson,
who states he is ready to act as soon as the
outlaw league makes some overtures OF
entering. The coast organization seems
well satisfied with the present conditions
and is not likely to make any advances to-
ward joining the National Association.

JEFFRIES NEED NEVER

NEW YORK, Dec 26-"Jim Jeffries
never needs to be beaten by any man in
the world. He can go on fighting until
he has white whiskers as long as Dowie's."
That is what Robert Fitzsimmons said
yesterday in talking about the great cham
pion of all the heavyweights. No man

the greatest in the world himself in every
quality that goes into fighters makeup.
He is the most clever in ring strategy, the
hardest hitter and one of the most aggres-
sive The difference between Fitzsimmons
and Jeffries, that brought the champion
ship to the Californian. was sixty pounds
of bone and muscle, not a difference in
fighting ability alone.
Fitz has fought Jeffries twice, each time
battering his fists in vain against the
giants rugged frame. There is not a fight
ing quality of the big man that Fitz is
not acquainted with. His opinion of the
champion as a fighter is of more true
value than that of any other man in the
world.
Jim Jeffries never needs to be beaten by
any man in the world" says F1tz. "He
never needs to take a back step, no matter
who he fights. Jeffries never knew, until
l kept telling him, how great a fighter he
was. Maybe he doesn't knew now. He is

STRONG WRESTLERS
ARE POOR FIGHTERS

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 26.-"The ques-
ton is often asked" remarked Alex"
Greggains why would not strong men and
wrestlers make good fighters? Strange as
it may seem, they are the poorest excuse for
fighters that could be imagined Maybe it
is because they are muscle bound, and can
not hit quick enough TO make their great
strength of any use to them.
Clarence Whistler undoubtedly the
greatest wrestler this country every pro-
fighter. His friends, who knew of his
great strength, believed the same way, and
the result was that challenges TO fight ap-
peared I'm the papers.
About this time there was a local fighter

California his home at the time, was behind
Brady.

to their corners. The bell rang and it re-

resting place, subscribed to by the sports
men of that country.
ut is history how little Jack McAuliffe,
in a public restaurant, took 'Sandow' and
wiped the floor with him, forcing the strong

All of which goes to demonstrate that the
strong man, the wrestler hammer throw
er do not make good fighting material, and
it's foolish TO select aspirants for cham
pionship honors in the ring from their
midst.

BENNY MAY MEET JORDAN
Ninth Ward Guards Offer SlaSher
a Chance at Englishman.

CHICAGO, Dec 26.-Promoters of the
Ninth Ward Guards have offered Benny
Yanger $500 purse for a six-round battle
with Ben Jordan, the contest to take place
in their arena during the latter part of
January. This will be Jordan's first appear
ance in this city, and his first fight in this
country since Eddie Santry knocked him
out in the sixteenth round Oct. 10, 1899.
At the time the fight was going along
nicely. The men were in one corner, when
Jordan, a bit carelessly, dropped his hands
and Santry whipped one over square on the
chin that brought the money home and
sent Jordan back to England a very much
disappointed man, where he has since
fought Kid McPadden, Tommy Hogan and
others
Jordan is clever man of the old English
type, with the great head-slipping act up
his sleeve. Yanger's style, of course is well
known, and his latter methods are some
what on the line of Terry McGovern's origi-
nal attack on the body, which went so hard
with Pedlar Palmer.
Just how Jordan can stack up against
that remains to be seen, but on form it
should be a great fight should the English
man be drawn here. hangers style is radi-
cally different from Eddie Santry's at the
time he fought Jordan. Santry then had
all his cieverness, his good footwork and
high blocking, and was a hard man to
get to.

PITTSBURG PHIL TO
FIGHT JOCKEY CLUB

George z. Smith (Pittsburg PHIL, the
noted plunger, is wrought up over the ac-
ton of the Jockey Club in failing TO pass
the stewards When the stewards met at
James r. Keene's apartments in the Wal
dorf-Astoria Hotel Mr.. Smith felt confident
that his application would be acted upon
and that he would get an opportunity to
state his case.
For that reason the young plunger had
not taken any action against the Jockey
Club, feeling sanguine that if he was given
q hearing he would prove to the stewards
that he was just as much entitled to race
horses as any other owner. Pittsburg Phil
had been waiting since last summer for the
meeting TO take place and now that the
stewards have failed to give him a hear
ing he is determined that ii shall be fight
to a finish
1t is we'll known among the plunger's
friends that he does not care to race
horses on the track again, and if permits
sion were granted him it is doubtful If he
would ever again buy a thoroughbred.
What the young millionaire plunger wants
is vindicatlon.
II am not through yet" said the plunger
when seen to-day, but 1 haven't decided
upon what course TO pursue"
While reticent about his future plans,
Pittsburg Phil, il is said, is planning TO
give the Jockey Club the hardest fight
Those who are familiar with the plunger s
methods know that there is no such word
as quit with him once he starts TO accom-
plish anything. One can sum up his fight
ing ability In his own words. When asked
some time ago regarding the action of the
Jockey Club he said that he was ready 70
spend every dollar that he possessed Ia
get justice.
