MASON'S EXPERIENCE
IN HANDLING FIGHTERS
Tim scanlan Was Too Much for Him
in Bout With Niekirl.

Jimmy Mason, who is handling Jack
McClelland, hasn't always had the luck
he is having now. He formerly ham
died Tim Seaman, cousin to Jim, and
he never had more experience i'm his
life than when tying to manage Tim.
Tim is now on the police force in
Pittsburg. but he used to think he was
a world beater i'm the ring said Jim
my. "and the time I had trying to con-
troll him would wear the average man
out. I'll never forget the time he fought
Harry Niekirk near Wheeling, W. Va
Tim had no money at the time ana
7 thought ] would take him according
to the percentage basis. So i took 500
and paid for his training expenses, and
when the time drew near for him To
fight took him to Wheeling and put
him up at a hotel run by friend OF
mine.
This hotel was a regular 81 a day
place, hut ] got him the best room
there at a 81 rate. He managed to
beat Niekirk after the widest time ia
the ring YOU ever saw. Some of the
Irish brigade at Wheeling commenced
10 bet on Niekirk while Seaman was
sitting i'm his corner, and he got up and
called them all down from the ring.
He accused them Of lack of patriotism
and everything else, and wash ChOlc@
i'm his language. He had the house in
an uproar-
s.By the time he had fought a round
or two Tim managed to land lucky
punch and knocked NiekiTk out. lie
was SO swelled up over it ] could hard
Iv get him out of the ring. When we
got back to the hotel I let him count
his money. just to let him have the sat
isfactiOu of handling it.
He counted 1t over very caFeIully
there was about $500 there-and then
nushed me over ten silver dollars. I
looked at them minute and said:
.. What's that for? Do you want
me to buy. some rubbing stuff
No says Tim; sure, an that's
your ind
wy what?' 1 asked.
Your ind aV the purse, to be
shure,' he replied, in a seif-satisHed
Il was so astonished I couldn't
sneak. Then 7 turned around and
commenced TO talk to him. I couldn't
bring him back TO earth all at once,
however. and he said very grandly:
Look here. me boy haven't yez
been stopping at the hotel three days
An haven't ye had chicken IplVe
times2'
This was too much for me- After
had got him that rate, expended more
than $50 of my own money ON MIN
and attended to his training, TO have
him try his airs on me was little too
much. I gave him a dressing down ne
didn't forget i'm a hurry, and he was
the meekest man YOU ever saw for the
next six months. He had few more
fights, but lost most Of ZEN.

CLUBS TO VOTE ON SCHEME TO
HAVE FIVE PER WEEK,
PLAN TO REDUCE GAMES
Especial 10 The HgraIdl

Boise, Ida.s June 27.-The Butte Base
bali club was represented by proxy.
and the salt Lake club had no repre-
seutatIOn at the meeting of officials of
the Pacific National league held at the
ldauha hotel tonight. President Sebree
of Boise and President Williams of
Spokane were present iu person. and
the proxy OF the Butte club was held
by President Lucas of the league, max
ing up the quorum.
1t was confidently expected that the
salt Lake club would have "a repre-
sentative at the gathering and its fail
ure 20 send one robbed the meeting OF
ali interest Manager WilmOt of Butte
was Obliged to return home on Satur-
day because Of the birth OF his second
son.
The first question taken uD was the
equalization Of club mileage, and it
was decided that a settlement should be
made at the end of the season. This.
II was determined, would do away with
lot or clerical work and save CON
fusion. President Lucas, as the repre-
sentative of the Butte club, voted in
FAVOR Of monthly equalization.
tt was the sense Of the meeting that
PRESIDENT Lucas should communicate
with each club tregardiug the advisa-
blilty OF reducing the number Of games
lu each series to five. BY this means
1T was cCntended. the clubs would be
enabled TO travel from city to city with
greater comfort and open dates would
be lert for postponed games, President
Williams OF Spokane did not favor the
proposal to cut out the sixth game
He thought by playing two games on
sunday the welfare of the league would
be better served. President Lucas will
take the votes of the clubs on this
question by mail and announce the re-
suit on July 10.
The following changes I'm the play
ing schedule were agreed upon. Week
OF July TO II, Spokane iu Salt Lake
instead OF salt Lake in Spokane: Sept.
l3 to is, Salt Lake In Spokane instead
of Spokane in Salt Lake July % to 81
Boise in Spokane instead of Spokane in
Boise; Aug. % TO o. Spokane i'm Boise
instead Of Boise in Spokane.
No other business came before the
meeting, and the Jones case was not
mentioned.

four errors in the series to Fldnnery s

A TERRIBLE CRASH.
Four Men Killed and Others injured
in a Railway Collision.

Columbus, Ind, Dec. 3.-While ru1-
ming so miles an. hour, north-bound
passenger train No. 27, on the Penn
sylvania road, Friday night ran into
a construction train about two miles
north of this city, instantly killing
four men, fatally injuring at least
one other and infiicting slight injuries
upon a score of passengers.
The dead: Samuel Crow, Jefferson
vile, passenger engineer; Herman c,
Jones, Columbus, brakeman; E. w
Achenbach, indianapolis, fireman, ere
mated; Calvin Prather, Sellersburg
fireman.
The passenger coaches did not leave
the track and none of the passengers
was badly injured. Fireman Achen-
bach's body was burned to a crisp in
his engine before the rescuers could
reach him. NJ |. Kain, of Jefferson
vile, engineer Of the construction
train, escaped with a broken leg.
The construction train was entering
a siding south of Cornbrook and all Of
the train except the engine and one
car were clear. AS soon as news of
the wreck reached this city relief
train with physicians was hurried to
the scene. The bodies of the dead
men were brought to Columbus as
soon as removed from the wreck.
Others severely injured are George
S. Graham, New Albany, passenger
brakeman, injured internally, left
shoulder and right leg sprained; Lon
Jackson, Louisville, conductor on pas
senger train, slight scalp wound, legs
and shoulders wrenched; Miss e. w.
Lemon, Jeffersonville.
The passengers were brought back
20 this city, and many of them went
70 Indianapolis by way of the interur-
Dan. The responsibility for the acci-
dent has not been placed.
Calvin Prather, the injured fireman,
died at the hospital here Friday night
An act of heroism that came to no.
tice was performed by George H. Ora
ham, of New Albany, brakeman of the
passenger train. AS soon as. he recov-
cred from the shock of the collision
he realized that unless a fiagman was
sent ahead there was danger of anOth-
er and perhaps even more serious
wreck, as the south-bound passenger
train was due to arrive in a very few
minutes.
Though bruised and bleeding, he
took lantern and limped up the track
to safe distance, where he waited for
the train and tagged it, He then col
lapsed and was brought to the hospi-
tai in this city, where he is receiving
treatment He will recover.
