SIMPLE EXPLANATION
Hopes Ban johnson Will An.
point Schedule Committee
and Avoid Trouble.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Relative to the
differences between the National and
American baseball leagues, President Pull
liam, of the former. stated that the sit
uation was a very simple one. In the
peace agreement between the two leagues,
signed some time ago. 1t was stated dis
tinctly that committee should be ap-
pointed each season from each league to
meet and arrange a schedule that would
not be conflicting. Ban Johnson, presi-
dent OF the American league, has not as
yet. appointed a committee while the
National people have done so and COM
piled schedule.
There Is nothing for Johnson to do but
appoint his committee to meet ours and
arrange the schedule" said Pulliam I'VE
have two schedules arranged either or
both Of which could be changed even to
its entirety. If Johnson does not see fit
to appoint his committee, then the Ma
tional league will have to adopt one in
dependently. and II there are conflicting
dates, 1t will be a case OF the survival OF
the fittest
1.-THE National league is not anxious to
continue at war, so to speak, and would
like to reach an amicable settlement"

PERFECT BOWLING
SCORE is ROLLED
A. M. Curryer Makes Twelve
Straight Strikes on SeIby
Alleys.

In the presence of a small knot Of en-
thusiastic spectators Alanson M. Curryer,
salesman in the employ of local com
pany, last night rolled a perfect bowling
score on the Selby alleys.
Curryer made his 800 score in a game
with Ned Clinton Curryer and Clinton
dropped into the Selby alleys during the
evening and secured one of the alleys
for three game match. In the first
game Curryer scored 1874, and followed
this with a POI score for his second game.
He started the second game with
strike. and then every time he sent the
balls down the alley the balls fell in
heap. When Curryer reached his sixth
strike the other bowlers stopped their play
to watch the Curryer- Clinton game The
seventh ball landed the ten pins, and the
eighth repeated the trick. The excited
watchers cheered and urged Curryer on
to perfect score. The excitement was
enough to cause the man to lose his head,
but the ninth strike was recorded, then
the tenth and then the eleventh.
When Curryer prepared for the last
chance the spectators became silent. and
not sound was heard but the rumble of
the ball as it rolled down the alley. 1t
smashed into the pins with a crash, and
as the last one tottered and fell a happy
shout was sent up by the ones fortunate
enough to have witnessed the rolling Of
perfect score.

BRITT A FAVORITE
OYER YOUNG CORBFTT
Frisco Sports Think CaIifor-
Man Able to Trim Feather.
weight Champion.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. 5.-Jimmy
Britt is already being regarded out here
as favorite for his fight with Young Cor
bett at WoodWard's pavilion, March IL.
1t is said that the betting is 10 to 9 in his
favor, but if this is the case there is very
little money to bet at these figures.
Both of the boys will begin real training
next week. Britt did not have the cast
removed from his right arm until two days
ago, and though he has kept himself in
good, sound condition, he has not been
able to do any sparring or real strenuous
training for fear Of putting his right out
of gear again.
Young COrbett has kept himself in good
shape, but has done no real hard work
yet. He will do his training for the go,
which will mark his definite exit from the
featherweight class at Sheean's tavern
Britt will put in his conditioning ticks at
CrolPs garden. in Alameda.
If Britt is faVorite when the boys face
each other in the ring it will be mainly
because of the sentiment here for Britt.
point out that Britt has the advantage in
the conditions for the match. However,
just the reverse seems to be true.
While Britt has the better of it in height
and reach, Corbett has it all his own way
In matter of weight.
Britt is a legitimate lightweight; Cor
bett has posed as a featherweight and
fought repeatedly at less than $50 pounds.
Hence the avoirdupois condition for the
fight-130 pounds at o'clock-is all to
the latter's advantage. No one doubts
that Corbett can make the weight and
be at his best. On the other hand there
are many fight followers who are a bit
skeptical concerning Britt's ability to
make the weight and be at his best. Ger
tainly he must be drawn pretty fine, and
when fighter is drawn very fine a single
pound on or off may make all the differ
ence between pink of condition and weak
ness.
AS the match stands 1t is another ex-
ample of the wonderful shrewdness of the
Denver lad in framing up fight agree
ments. Many believe he is the greatest
matchmaker that ever lived For his
fight. with Britt he has all the best of the
weight agreement, yet if he wins he will
undoubtedly be hailed as the lightweight
champion. Should he lose he will have
some grounds, however poor. to demand
a return match at 1873 pounds ringside-
the true lightweight limit
In his fight with Eddie Hanlon Young
Corbett it will be remembered again had
all tEo better of the weight On that oc-
casion he fought at practically the same
figure he Is asked to make for Britt
Corbett were only as wise in taking
care of his money as he is clever in earn
Ing it he would be a pretty rich man to-
day. But he is honeycomhed with the
gambling microbe, and gets rid of his
dollars nearly as fast as he makes them.
In Denver they tell many tales of his faro
playing, but none of these stories relates
of how the dealer was forced to turn the
box. Corbett is a big bettor, but appar-
entity very unlucly one.

borrowing telegram from Edward Hanlon.
of the Baltimore club, who renresented
Ine association in the conference at the
Pacific Coast league in San Francisco ear
ly in the week:
Please request all leagues to refra in
from contracting with Pacific Coast league
players, as that league will respect ali
national agreement requirements pending
committees report
This shows that a truce has been de-
clared, and while Messrs. johnson. Hart
ana Hanlon, as a committee representing
the major and minor leagues, had no
power to act, they have succeeded in ar
ranging matters satisfactorily with the
Pacific Coast representatives.
