MAGNATEs AGREE TO PEACE.
Pacific Coast and Eastern Leagues to
Respect Each Others Reserves

TIE Pacific Coast League has practically
come into organized base ball, but it does
not come into the National Association of
Minor Leagues on the same footing as
other members. The Pacific League which
embraces six clubs on the coast, will en-
ter into harmonious relations with the
eastern leagues provided 1t is agreed the
coast reserve list is respected. In return it
will recognize the reserve lists of the Ma
tional and American Leagues and the gen
eral rules of minor league organizations
This question will be brought up by Ned
Hanion for discussion before the National
Association of Minor Leagues on his return
east There is no doubt the conditions will
be accepted.
This was the result of the meeting at San
Francisco yesterday between President
James A. Hart of the National League
President Ban Johnson of the American
League and Ned Hanlon of the Eastern or
ganized base ball en- one side and Messrs.
Burt, Morley and Harris of the Pacific
Coast League. The Eastern men are highly
pleased at the result of the meeting Pres
ident Hart left for the east last night, and
President Johnson goes to Los Angeles to-
day.
Ned Hanlon and President Kilfoyle of the
Cleveland club will remain there until the
latter part of next week.

vive him after he was led to his corner.
There were 1900 persons in Light Guard ar
mory when the bout was called. Cans ruled
favorite at 10 to 6 in the betting, which was
brisk. Both men were in splendid condition
Ward started the fight with a rush, ana
landed effectively on Cans stomach
throughout the first round, in which the
Canadian had slightly the better of 1t.
In the second round Cans began to land
on Wards jaw, and from then until the
fight was stopped the champion kept Ward
head bobbing back with his punches. Ward
showed well in the last minute of the third
round. and neither man had decided ad-
vantage during this period Cans. however,
had decided lead from the third round to
the end of the fight. Ward tired perceptibly
in the fifth and sixth rounds, but recuperat-
ed somewhat and fought stronger in the
next two Cans, however, continued to
show his superiority over the young Ca
madam.
In the ninth round Cans knocked Ward
down with a terrific right swing on the jaw
and almost put him out Ward took the
count and the bell saved him. He came UP
for the tenth very groggy and Gaus punched
him in the jaw almost at will.
Ward was so hopeessly beaten and so evil
IDENTIFY suffering that the police ordered the
bout stopped. Cans would almost certainly
have knocked him completely out in the
next thirty seconds had the fight not been
stopped.

ANXIOUS TO FIGHT.
Jack O'Brien Will Meet Ryan and Fitz
for $4,000 Side Bet.

Jack O'Brien is hot on the trail of his
rival. Tommy Ryan, and Bob Fitzsimmons.
o Brien wants to make his claim to the
title of mddle-weight champion clear, and
he is anxious 20 tackle both of these men.
So confident is O'Brien that he can defeat
Ryan and Fitzsmmons that he announced
last night in Philadelphia his willingness to
wager $4,000 on the result
II will bet $4,000 that can defeat Ryan
and will bet the same amount that 1 can
successfully defend the middle weight
championship against Fitzsimmons" said
O'Brien.
OBrien is pleased with the showing he
made against Tommy Ryan in the Quaker
city last week, and he feels that If he has
another chance to tackle the Syracuse bjxer
he will surely come out winner. He be-
lieves that he had the test of the Ryan bout
as far as It went and that he could have
longer.
There is no doubt that O'Brien will ac-
cept the first good offer made for him and
Ryan. He wants to meet Ryan in a longer
bout. II successful in disposing of Ryan,
O'Brfen will then be ready to tackle Fitz-
simmons. who still claims to be the legiti-
mate middle-weight champion
OBrien says he has no fear of the Cor
nishman and that he will agree to fight
him under the same conditions as he fights
Ryan and just as soon after the Ryan go
as possible.
O'Brien has i been taking good care of
himself since the Ryan bout, and he will
jump into active training just as soon as he
sees match with Ryan in sight His
many friends have the greatest confidence
in his ability, and it is said that their
money will make up part of the side bet
that O. Brien is willing to risk on the result
of match with Ryan or FItzsimmons
OBrien does not intend to allow Fitzsim-
mons to lay claim to the middle weight
title unless he proves himself CAPABLE of de-
Tending the honors. Immedia tely after the
Ryan-O'Bren fight Fitzsimmons said thai
he considered himself middle-weight cham
pion, Notwithstanding the fact that he has
not fought at the middle-weight limit in
many years. All OBrien will insist upon
is for Fitzsimmons to make the weight, and
he will gladly come to terms with him for
a match.

LOSS TO THE TURF.
Whitney's Death Creates a Vacancy
That Cannot Easily Be Filled.

A special from Saratoga says that while
the death of William C. Whitney, president
of the Saratoga Association for the I'm
provement of the Breed of Horses, popu-
larry known as the Saratoga Racing Asso-
ciation,' is viewed in the light of great
loss to that place, yet it is generally be-
lieved that his passing away will have no
serious effect upon Saratoga as a summer
resort or as a racing center.
The withdrawal of his big stable of rae
ing thoroughbreds from the turf and es-
pecially from the Saratoga track, would
create a vacancy that cannot be easily
supplied or filed at the present time, but it
is highly probable that the Whitney horses
will appear under other colors, and will
not be sidetracked by reason of his death.
While Mr.. Whitney has passed away it
is generally thought here that those who
have been associated with him in the i'm
provement and elevation of the Saratoga
track. as the running park is known to
the turf world, will continue to be identified
with it, and will fully carry out all the
plans projected by him.
Under the Whitney direction and man.
agement the Saratoga track has been made
one of the finest. most complete and best
equipped race courses in the country and
himself to make this 1.-THE finest and most
attractive track in the world"
Notwithstanding several hundreds OF
thousands of dollars have been expended
by the Whitney management in creating
a transformation scene at the track he
has succeeded in placing it on a paving
basis
