contract-junpfng stars he signed for
an agreement that protects the New
York club and every club in the two
leagues.
Not in New York.
The opinion is growing that the
American league Will not have team
In New York when the season opens.
Johnson has announced time and time
again that already the site has been
secured and the other club owners of
the American have confirmed John
sons statements.
The talk came before 1t was reported
IN New York that the American league
had failed to secure plot Of land
from a street railway company. The
American men still talk Of the New
York club, but little is said Of the play
ing grounds.
New Workers who are interested have
investigated and searched, but are un-
able to locate any possible spot for
the new team. Brush declares that the
building department Of the city has no
record of an application for a permit
to- erect a park and stands, and yet
many weeks have passed since john
SON sent for the contractor who was
reported the man to prepare the new
grounds.
Baltimore has been abandoned, but
a story from that town has the minor
ity stockholders preparing to make g.
fight to hold the team there If true,
this action may be a patriotic attempt
to hold an Oriole team In the Amer
ican but it would also be clever plan
to let the Johnson league down easy if
the New York boom suffered a pune
ture.
Passing of Fight Game.
Ably assisted by the men who are
recognized as the leading fighters Of
the day, the governors of many OF
these United States are rapidly locat-
ing a grave for the fight game. Every
day discovers q new state executive
explaining the laws to sheriff, and
there are few favored spots left.
The governors are working hard, but
the fighters are holding their own
They are doing more than the govern
ors and the state laws can accomplish
They are rapidly killing the fight
game, and killing it so dead that in
short time real live fighter viii be
included in the wonder list.
Champion Jeffries leads the list.
i Young Corbett is with him; Jimmy
Britt is side-stepping, and even Jack
Munroe IS learning the trick.
Almost every fighter able to COM
n1and attention is taking a crack at
the goose that lays the golden egg.
For the money in hand they are trad
ing their regulations. They are col
lectfng money from the public because
they are fighters Of note, and yet they
refuse to make good as fighters.
A motley collection of hfgh-prieed
exhibits they are rapidly hurrying up
to their finish. When the public be-
gins to realize the true character of
the exhibits, they hasten out and ar
range matches that If possible will be
avoided and continue drawing money

ever
The leading fighters Of the day are
killing the game, and until they reform
| their ways the public will wish the
governors success In their work.

SAM HARRIS

Sam HARRIS
After having a good look at the Butte
nliner-bOXer, / am of the opinion that he
is the coming heavyweight champion. 1
think he has it on Sharkey, Fits immonS,
and in a longer battle than four rounds
would stand a good chance with the
champion. Keep your eye on him, at any
rate, as he will develop within a year.
JIM WAKELY-
OF course he is an unknown quantity,
and has taken the advantage offered him.
1 don't think he could repeat the trick
again. as l consider Jeffries the greatest
fighter living. 1 will back kid Mccoy
to meet him in private within a week for
$1,000 a side. After he has had some ex-
perience, in the game he may be some
thing, but, as champion, not for mine.
JOHNNY CARROLL
It would not surprise me to see Munroe
turn out as a conner in his class. He has
the punch to drop man like Jeffries to
the boards, a thing all the other fellows
failed to do and that lets him in. If he
can show that he is in any way clever he
stands a good show with any Of them.
GEORGE MARSHALL
From what 1 have read of the latest
heavyweight from the Pacific coast he
must be a corker. He is said to have the
punch with both hands and to be fairly
clever. If he can only show aggressive
ness, thing that Jeffries has never DONE
he will stand a good chance for the title
when he starts.

MaIiett though at the timesit was con-
sldered a very unsatisfactory result.
but from the records of this match il
was evident that Postel was not In
condition for match with a man Of
Malletts staying qualities.
After this contest Prof. PesteI inter
ested. quite a number of MINNEAPOLIS
enthusiasts in the art, who offered a
large purse for another contest be-
tween these two, which took place on
June 4s.1SS6s IN minneapolis at which
Prof. Postel demanded sharp points.
AT this contest MalIett was victor af-
ter hard work, and it Wassbeyond cues
ton the hardest Of his contests.
The death of Prof. PesteI, Feb. 8.
1898, prevented a third meeting of
these two.s PosteI Insisting upon third
match. In the same month of the
same year there was a Newspaper con-
troversy between Otto MANTLE and
Maflett, but an agreement upon rules
could not be reaeheds andase this match
never took place.
At this Mr.. MaIlett decided to give
fencing rest and practically gave it
up, entirely until the fan of 1900. when
the Twin City Fencing club was or
gained at the Y. NJ. G.. A. In Mime
apollS, which meeting is doubtless the
cause Of the present proposed match,
for Prof. T.. r.. LIE Roux CHALLENGED
Mallett Aug. %, 1902, to a contest.
The challenge received prompt accept
ance, for after such brilliant record
Mallett did not care to lose the title
by default, and in replying to this last
challenge Mallett demanded the date,
Jan. rs, 1908, which was finally agreed
to by lie Roux.
Another victory MaIlett has which he
always refers to in q modest way is
of defeating Miss Helen Englehart in
April, 1895. Miss EngIehartsis a clev-
er fencer and has defeated many male
experts I'm many lands It has often
been asked why lie Roux and. Mallett
have never met on the fencing mat
before, but as records will show in past
years. Mallett's challenges were always
turned down by Les Isoux.

which occupied the last day of-the ses-.
sion after the ratication of the peace
1t was decided to adhere to the old
plan of lao games, as in previous years, to
drop for year at least Garry HerIma s
eight games between clubs Of the two
leagues, to allow conflicting dates on sun
days and holidays where both managers
were favorable in cities OF Two ciuos;
and to allow manag gers to arrange local
championship series as best suits them
selves without consulting the Joint sched-
ule committee
All these plans are likely to meet the
approval of the American league, ma
Jofity of whose members were opposed
to the round robin" scheme at this
time.
Mr.. Hermann presented draft Of g
schedule which provided for the round
robin games and also q complete sehed-

looked fine from an ethical viewpoint but
when Mr.: Hart found his number OF sun

to twelve he was ina hurry to explain
that he and Gomiskey had agreed It was
better to conflict than to suffer a reduc-s
ton in the number of Sundays, which
in Chicago are usually better than six
week days. 4, Several others felt the same
way about f. so that point was passed
readily.
In speaking of the attitude of John T..
Brush and the agreement to pay Brooklyn
for the loss of Donovan, MIR. Hart said:
Brush Did Not Know.

agreement he probably never would have
opposed IT. SO far as know he was in no
