DORIC PLOUGHE0
THROUGH OIL SCUM

The Doric arrived alongside the Pa
cifc Mail dock yesterday at 2:3O p. M.
from San Francis, =. and departed for
the Orient last night about midnight.
She carried fair list of through pas
sengers, among them being former
Chinese Minister shen Tung. returning
to China from washington. There
were two lay-oyers for Honolulu.
The docking of the Dorie was ac-
companied by an unusual experience.
The oil steamer Whittier lying at the
Railroad wharf. had permitted a
considerable quantity of oil to leak out
in the harbor and by p. m. the entire
surface was a mass of prismatic coiors,
OF the Pacific Mail dock the oil col
lected in heavy dark brown areas. The
two Manila hawsers of the Doric, new
ones, were lowered over the side and
had TO be drawn through the scum.
The handsome light brown hawsers
were instantly transformed into Shiny
ropes and as soon as they began wind
ing on the windlasses, the scum was
scraped off and ran on the deck, dis
coloring other coils of ropes. The oil
also made the hawsers slippery and
extra bitches had to be taken around
the windlasses, but every little while
there would be a slip and a Chinese
seaman would take a plunge forward.
Perhaps the most curious sight was
presented by the diving boys, who
swan about in the scum and oil, undis-
mayed as long as dime was in
sight from the passengers on the Doric.
The oil gathered in their hair and
Jumps of oil, like mud collected on their
shoulders. The water rolled off their
heads and backs. and there was a good
deal of sputtering when a nouthful of
oil started down lads throat.
The Doric is carrying a large herd of
goats to Manila. They are in charge
of Second officer Frank.

NEW NATIONAL AGREEMENT.
johnson Says Contract Breakers Will
Be Looked After

President Ban Johnson Of the American
League. who arrived in Chicago yesterday
from New York, tackled the league BUSH
ness that had accumulated during his pro-
tracted eastern stay. The executive de-
clared the strenuous weeks in New York
were as a picnic compared with the mass
of detail now confronting him. Talking Of
the player and national agreement ques-
tons, Mr.. Johnson said:
$50 far as the American League and the
National League are concerned. the Dele
hanty and Davis cases are settled. Both
players Will come to time. As for Gleason
he is not under contract with Chicago, but
was given to Comiskey by Boston. He can
not be compelled to play in Chicago. but II
he consults his own interests he will do
so. There Is no room for him on the Bos-
ton team.
I'VE are going to frame new nationa;
agreement, and 1t is my opinion that there
will be strong section covering the actions
of recalcitrant ball players who do not re-
gard as sacred a legal contract. Men who
jump contracts and the men who instigate
the bad work are to be punished IL the rule
goes in as would frame It,.
President johnson characterised. the al
legged threat of the Players Protective As
ISOLATION to bring about a players strike as
the offspring OF few diseased minds.

INTERNATIONAL TENNIS.
Doherty Brothers Defeated Profess
sional Champions

Cable reports have Just reached this side
Of the Atlantic Of the big exhibition tourna-
ment at Nice, in the south Of France, which
will prove doubly interesting to American
lawn tennis players because the prizes the
men were playing for were given by Eugene
Higgins, an American. and because both Of
the Doherty brothers were engaged, as we'll
as the best professionals in Europe. For
several years there has been determined
effort on the other side to give the profess
s1onal players, most Of them groundsmen
and club instructors at the big clubs, more
chances to improve their play by profess
slonal matches for big money prizes. Two
years ago the first of these professional
championship tournaments was held at
Paris, and won by Burke, the professional
from Nice. who beat both Kerr from London
and Fleming from Paris. Last year this
tournament was repeated at Nice in the
early spring, and again Burke won the
championship title, beating Fleming and
Haggett. An exhibition match was then ar
ranged between Burke and r. F. Doherty,
who was playing In an amateur tournament
there, and the amateur beat the professional
by o.. rs. 1ohto7
Under the liberal patronage of Mr.. Hig-

mistake was made by announcing that both
amateurs and professionals would compete

the same value If the amateur players won.
Invitations were sent out. among Others to
about a dozen ofntile leading American
amateurs to take part in this tournament
and to the leading players In Great Britain
and on the continent. Before even the
American invitations would reach their des-
tination the English Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation. with which the Nice L. T. c. was
affiliated. refused to give Its sanction to any
tournament in which amateurs were to COM
pete against professionals. Secretary A. G.
Morgenstern. himself an old New York
player. by the way, decided at once to al
ter the conditions according to the sug
gesttons made by the L. 7. A. officials. and
cablegrams were sent over here announcing
that the amateurs and professionals would
compete in separate sections OF the tourna-
ments. the prizes being cash for the pros
and trophies for the amateurs.
Under this arrangement the club secured
good entry, although the prominent
Americans invited could not make the trip.

Fieht May Be Declared Of.

There is every indication now that battle
between Tom Sharkey and Jack Munroe
may not be held at least as far as Butte,
Mon, is concerned The withdrawal of the
$4,000 purse offered by the Broadway A.
c. of that city, substituting percentage Of
the gate receipts instead. has changed the
whole aspect of the match. Sharkey now
saws that the club will have to stick to its
original proposition Of a purse. and that he
will not consent to any percentage arrange
ment. Munroe does not like the new condI-
tons, either, but adds that he will stick
to his word about giving the preference to
Butte.
Clark Ball, Munroes manager, says that
he does not intend to wait much longer. and
II the club does not post forfeit of 5000
In cash of q certified check. he will try and
see II he cannot have the scrap held at Fort

timated recently that he did not want 1t.

CANS WHIPPED BENNETT.
Fight Looked Very Much Like Put
Up Job,

The boxing game received bad blow in
Allegheny last night, when Jack Bennett,
the welterweight of McKeesport, quit in the
fifth round while facing Joe Cans of Balti-
more. the lightweight champion.
Those about the ringside who saw the
blow which is supposed to have landed on
Bennett as a knockout allege that Cans
fist merely grazed the local man.
In the first four rounds the men danced
about the ring, occasionally making
swing. but failing to follow up the blows.
only few of which landed. In the fifth
round. the men had been fighting about
two minutes, when Cans landed above Ben
nett's left eye, drawing blood. Whether the
flow Of blood weakened Bennett or whether
he was really struck by knockout blow
from the champion is not known, but Ben
nett went down like an acrobat and lay still
until counted out.
Many OF the spectators pronounced the
fight a fake.
