slow Justice But Sure.

The return to 81. Louis Of Charles
Krasz, who was indicted two years
ago for bribery in connection with
the Doodle scandal. is another tri-

him in the seat OF the chief executive

cline to believe it can ever be made

been found for every new thing. Just
as many people believed that the seed

ture. yet today no other orange can
compare to it in taste. flavor or com
mercial value.
That the people are anxious that the
apple shall be a success and that it has
been something that they have been
waiting for, is evidenced by the hun
dreds Of letters that are pouring in mp
on the COMPANY here every day. These
letters come from all over the United

seem to be eager to purchase territory
for its sale or to obtain any concession
from the owners of the right to pro

American public with a great degree
of caution. They have but a very Ii

caring for those already in existence,
will have the greatest possible care

The men who have formed the COM

intend that they shall lose. like the
creator of the seedless orange, all the
benefits accruipg therefrom. They in
tend TO go slowly in producing the
trees and see o'it that they are seed

The apple has become fruit much

FANS INPATIENT.

Indianapolis baseball fans are growing
impatient as the time draws nearer for
the men who are to wear Hoosier uniforms
this season to report for spring training.
Because the infield will be composed of
players who are new, with the exception
of Magoon, the local fans are anxious to
see them in action on the field and to get
a line on their playing ability. The fans
will welcome the new men, and it is up to
the players to show that they are capable
of playing winning ball in the American
Association. A few of the pessimistic fans
a comparison this early in the season with
the team that represented Indianapolis last
year. At that it seems that it would not
be a hard matter to improve on last year S
OUTFIT, while President Ruschaupt and
Manager Phillips declare that this years
team will be much stronger than the 1903
aggregation. Dickey, Hess and Carr, the
new players in infield positions are young
sters who last season made great records
in the Three-I League and who are coming
stars. w. II. Watkins. last year manager
of the Indianapolis team, saw the men play
and bought their releases for Indianapolis
before he decided to purchase the Min
neapols club. This season indianapolis will
have a stronger hitting team than for
several years and an aggregation that
should prove as fast in the field as last
years team.

DIXON ADDS TO HIS
BIG BANK ACCOUNT

Although wrestling has supplanted pugi-
lism as regards interest in England just
now, the fighters in that country are busy.
The majority of the brusers, whether they
are on the top rung of the ladder or not,
do not meet much difficulty in securing en-
gagements.
In spite of George Dixon's repeated an
nouncements of his intention to return to
America in the near future. the wonderful
colored boxer is still abroad doing excel
lent work and adding considerably to his
list of victories and to his bank account.
Dixons last match was on Feb. % at the
Winter Gardens. Plymouth, where he met
Harry Mansfield, of Bristol. 1t was only
after repeated challenges that the two
came together. The contest was of
twenty rounds of two minutes each, with
field is generally considered one of the
best 133-pound boxers in England, and, as
he met Dixon at catch weights. he natur-
ally had the advantage by at least ten
pounds The encounter was a draw, but
one of the best decided abroad in years.
The London Sporting Life had this to say
of the scrap:
"As soon as they faced each other the
bigger of the twain became busy with
both hands, which he sent on the face
and head in rapid order. The quick move
ments of his rival caused Dixon to adopt
defensive tactics. In the third meeting
Mansfield delivered a severe right on his
opponents eye and cheek bone which tenn
porarily dazed the coiored lad. In the
fifth round, however, the latter entered
into the battle with renewed vigor, and
forcing himself to close quarters, put in
a lot of effective work on the body. Rally
followed rally in the five succeeding rounds,
and finally George, in the twelfth stage,
sent his man on the ropes from a clean
cross on the chin. Excitement ruled high
at this juncture. both contestants fighting
desperately hard to gain the upper hand.
Mansfield continued to show most clever
ness, and at the end of the fifteenth round
held a substantial lead.
Dixon after this did a tremendous
amount of damage on the body and kept
up the pressure until the end. Harry S
early advantage was much lessened, but
he still remained I'm front. Throughout
the last round they fought without a
break at close range, and when hostilities
ceased the referee justly declared the
bout a draw. ALI Wright, F. Wilmott
and another seconded Mansfield, while Dix

advice of Mr.. Humphreys whose instruc-
tons were closely followed and much ap-
preciated by the colored boxer

sary by the formation of a National Roller
Polo League, the officials should adopt an
entirely different policy and conduct the
affairs of the league on business principles
When the league was reorganized last fall
the weakness of the business plan of the
organization was shown in these columns
Many of the men financially interested in
the league did not have the organization
success and welfare at heart, but thought
only of their own clubs and the harvest
they might reap from the big attendance
during the season. No league can exist for
any length of time on the plan that has
been followed this year in the Western
organization. When the club owners meet
to reorganize for next year the ideas FOL
lowed this season should be lost forever
and the organization built on the lines OF
successful baseball league. First of all,
assume a good business policy, and then
select a set of officials who will conduct the
affairs of the league in a capable and
straightforward manner. Wipe out petty
selfshness and assume a policy of live and
let live.
