 Never be ashamed of your employ ment. If the work is dishonorable, don't strike another lick on it and seek some think commendable in the eyes of good people. The boy or girl who lodges and hides out to keep from being seen at work will not do to depend upon in a close place. Brace up, tighten your grin and go forward. Pay no attention to the simlinheaded creatures who turn up their noses at honest toll.

FANS OPPOSED TO
THE FOUL STRIKE RULE
Cleveland Fanatics Start an Endless
Chain of Protests.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 1.-THE
Cleveland patrons of the American Base
ball club are a unit in opposition to the
foul strike which has been forced upon
the American league by the minor leagues
under the leadership of President Powers.
They saw it tried last fall, when the ALL
Americans and Pittsburgs played upon
the local diamond, then and there regis
tering adherence of the rule in tones by
no means mild. Today it was learned
that at a meeting OF a few fans in
the East End few nights ago, it was de-
cided to start an endless chain of letters
to Ban Johnson protesting against the
American league putting the obnoxious
rule In force. The originators of the nov
el scheme say that they are sure at least
100 letters have gone to johnson already.
and that the plan is but In its infancy,
and that they expect that Cleveland pa
irons of baseball will respond to the num-
Der of 1000 week. Each man writes
to three friends asking each to write a
protest to Johnson and to enlist three
others in the cause. They argue that the
fans are the ones who pay for baseball
and make the national game the success
it is, and their wishes should be regarded
in formulating rules.

FITZSIMMONS CALLS
O'BRIEN AND RYAN
Cornishman Declares the Pair Must
Put Up or Shut Up.

NEW YORK, March 14.-Bob Fitz-
simmons says that he is not going to
let either Tommy Ryan or Jack
O'Brien, of Philadelphia, get away from
making a match with him at the mid
dleweight limit If he can possibly help
1t. In a dispatch to q friend from Oil
City, Pa, where he is touring with
Champion Jim Jeffries, Fitz wired: 'I
have forwarded articles of agreement
binding my proposed match with Jack
OBrien to Al Smith, Of the Gilsey
house, for O'Brien to sign. He chal.
lenged me, and 1 did not lose any time
in coming to the front, as the public
is aware. He named his own terms,
and readily agreed to them. Now, he
must put up or shut up. The same
thing applies to Tommy Ryan. I'M
derstand that he has not retired and
that he really wants to box me. Well,
If he is on the level, which doubt, l
will meet him at 1853 pounds, Marquis
Of Queensberry rules, or at 154 pounds
with bare knuckles. This Is no idle
boast, either. 1 can make the weight,
and if any Of those would-be scrappers
think otherwise they can make $4,000
which I have already posted as foy-
felt. If Ryan or O'Brien doesn't fight
me, my challenge is open to any one
else, provided they will bet $4,000 on
the side and winner take ALL"

COMMERCIAL LEAGUE
HOLDS MEETING TO-DAY
Bowlers of Local Organization Prepar-
ing to Wind Up Season.

The Commercial Bowling league will
hold a meeting at 8 o'clock this after
noon to consider such matters pertain
ing to league affairs that may come
before them. The league has had a
very successful season, especially so
when 1t Is considered that the plan
upon which 1t has been run is entirely
different from that followed by any
other league known, and that it has
been an unWieldy proposition, owing to
the number of clubs entered.
John Ryan, secretary of class B, and
William O'Gorman, secretary Of class
{, report that they have gathered each
week the score sheets from the cap
tains of the teams in their respective
classes, and that everything, so far as
the records are concerned, is in excel
lent shape. Secretary Mample, of
class A could not be reached, and it is
not known what conditions his score
sheets are in.
The bowlers in the Commercial
league have developed in one seasons
play SO that quite number of them
can compete with the strongest bowl
ers in the city and not be outclassed.
The games recently boWled by the G.
SommerS team show what can be done
by the Commercial league boWlers.
This club Is composed of men, who up
to this year never participated in
league contest, and their average of
924 2-3, bowled against the Koehler e
HinrchS team Feb II, is all the more
remarkable. Other high Individual
and team scores have been boWIed and

B. JOHNSON'S PLANS
MAY BE UPSET
IN GOTHAM
Residents Near the Site for
Proposed Park Are Talk
ing Of Opening a Street
Through the Ball Grounds
American Leaders Are
Not Worried.

NEW YORK, March 14.-Announce-
ment of the location of the American
league baseball grounds has caused
CONSERVATION among residents Of
Washington heights.
There is already a movement to Sc
cure the opening of One Hundred and
SiXty-siXth and One Hundred and Six
ty-seventh street, from Broadway to
Fort Washington avenue, so as to cut
the property into sections too small for
baseball purposes. Should the crowds
prove a nuisance such movement
would undoubtedly prove successful, as
1t did in the case of the old polo
grounds at One Hundred and Tenth
street and Fifth avenue.
Ban Johnson said tonight: This
talk of opening streets is not worrying
us. We have everything SO arranged
that If streets should be opened there
it will be to our advantage in that we
VIII secure sufficient indemnity to ena-
bic US to purchase one of the other
grounds we had in view"
President Gordon, of the New York
club, said: 1T Is foolish talk No
street will be cut through that property
for at least ten years"
1t will require the expenditure OF a
large amount of money to put the new
grounds in shape by April 80, but for
mer Police Inspector Thomas f. Nc
Avoy, who is the Tammany district
leader for that locality, and who has
the contract for building the plant,
said everything would be ready in time
for the opening of the season.
Joseph Gordon, president of the new
club, was on the ground early today,
comforting with McAvoy. Half hun
dred open-mouthed baseball cranks
were there, too, figuring out how the
place would look when the work was
finished. 1t can truthfully be said there
is not a level spot ten feet square on
the whole property.
From Broadway, looking west, the
ground starts in q low swamp filed
with water. 1t rises into a ridge of
rocks perhaps twelve or fifteen feet
above the level Of Broadway From
the top Of the ridge the land slopes off
gradually toward the Fort Washington
road. AS the property is today. 1t will
be necessary to blast all along the
ridge, cutting off a slice Of eight feet
or more. This rock can be used to fill
in the low part Of the ground. There
are about 100 trees to be pulled out by
the roots. Contractor McAvoy will
probably begin operations on Monday.

PROF. HOLLIS is NOT
OPPOSED TO
FOOTBALL
Chairman of Harvard's Ath-
letic Committee Merely
Objects to the Brutal Glad
iatorial Contest Into Which
1t Has Degenerated and
Wants a More Open Game.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March 1.-The
proposed abolition of football is the
chief topic Of conversation among Har-
yard men at present. Prof. Ira N. Hol-
lis, chairman of Harvard's athletic
committee, who stirred up the whole
agitation regarding football by his re-
cent article in the Harvard graduates
magazine, said: It am not In favor Of
giving UP football. 1 think 1t is a
splendid game and would feel very
badly to see it go. II object to is the
brutal gladiatorial contest into which 1t
has recently degenerated. 1 think, as
it now is played, the game is too much
like prize fight. In fact as one prom
inent prize fighter told me- prize fight
ing is not In 1t with football.
What we need is a more open
game. Under the present rules it is
considered clever strategy to direct the
attack at the weakest spot on the op-
posing eleven. This hammering away
at one man is brutal. If the rules can
be changed I see no reason why foot
ball cannot still be our leading sport"
Carl Marshall, captain of the Har-
ward eleven for next fall, said: "Of
course am naturally In favor of keep
ing football, although do believe that
the game might be somewhat modified.
1t develops higher intelligence and
quickens the wits and keeps the men
from dissipation"
ExCapt Bob Herman said: 81
have very little patience with those
men who charge that football is de-
generating into a business instead of
being healthy pleasure. The game Is
not deteriorating.''
Charley Barnard, Harvard's big
guard, said: IT have no fault to find
with the game of football as 1t is play
ed today. All the objections come from
the men who have. never played in the
game and so think it is great deal
worse than itereally is." ne,
Edgar Wrfghtington, captain of the
Harvard $50 team, said: 1.-The game
Of football is dangerous, every one
knows that, but it is worth while.
There are many things which are dan
gerous yet which are worth while''

ward center, said; Il Football is SPLEEN

YOUNG CORBETT IGNORES
THE M'GOVERN HAND
Champion Refuses to Shake and Terror
Wants to Fight.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March IA
That the feeling between Terry Nc
Govern and Young Corbett is not all
newspaper talk was shown late last
night when the two featherweights
who are to fight the last day of this
month, met in Harry Corbett's saloon
Terry came forward when he caught
sight of Corbett and put out his hand,
but the Denver boy appeared not to
see the glad nit. Terry flushed up
and his Irish temper leaped into his
eyes as he said:
you haven't anything against me,
have you, that you won't shake
hands?"
Corbett, with the battle CLINT in his
eye, said: Its no question of shaking
hands between US. We are to fight and
that is all there is to It,"
This angered McGovern so much that
1T was all his friends could do to pre-
vent him from flying at Corbett and
settling things with bare knuckles.
The incident shows that it will be a
real fight for blood when the two men
meet

FORMER POSTOFFICE
OFFICIAL INVOLVED
Get Rich Quick Victims File Charges
With President.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March IA
Serious charges have been filed with
President Roosevelt against a prac-
ticing attorney at law, who formerly
was an official of the postoffice de-
partment. The charges involve certain
present officials of the department, but
they are of such a nature that at this
time they cannot be disclosed The
charges were placed in the hands of
the president by E. c. Campbell, an
attorney Of Cincinnati, representing
one or more of the turf investment
concerns, about which recently there
has been much scandal.
1t is understood that the burden of
the charges is that the former official
involved received a large sum of mon
ey from the turf investment concerns
for preparing an opinion declaring the
scheme of the investment companies to
be legitimate and of promise of Ger
tain protection to be given the COM
panies by officials.
When the matter was brought to
the presidents attention by attorneys,
he regarded it as so serious that he
ordered a thorough investigation and
the punishment of. the guilty, if the
guilt Of any official is shown.
