No Pugilist Left to Dispute the Supremacy
 of Jeffries

of Jeffries
 San Francisco. August 27.-The gross re- ceipts of the Jeffries- Munroe figat were s21. 800. of which Jeffriss received 3s.15o and Munroe e6.100, the remainder going to the promoters of the contest.
 All who witnessed the contest agree that the champion is in a class by himself. and that no other living pugilist is likely to dis pute his right to the title. Throughout the round and 45 seconds that the fight lasted Jeffries chewed gum and smiled. He was perfectly calm and at his ease. while Mum roe was pale and evidentv nervous. Never for a moment did he stand the slightest chance to win. but he was game and de- termined to fight to the end.
 Had not Referee Graney inteFceded as Jeffries was preparing to land the decisive blow. the bout might have ended in Q tra- gedy. Mnnroe finds consolat.on in the ue- lief that he went as far with Jeffries as any one could. The champion anticipated severe battle and expressed surprise that his opponent made so poor a showing While disappointed at the brevity of the fight, which some paid $40 to see, sporting men admit that 1t was a genuine battle for st. premacy and that the best man won.

 The American League race is getting tangled worse than ever. and 1t Is like tossing coin to pick the winner right now. Eventually there Is not much doubt that Boston will win out again though the Athletics will be The Western teams have but six more games in the East when they re- turn to the Western territory play six intersectionaI games and then have sixteen games at home with the East ern clubs. After the next six games with the Western clubs the Eastern clubs have sixteen intersectional games, going on the road then for the long Western trip. It is this Western trip that will prove the undoing of New York and push Boston and Philadelphia to fight with one of the Western teams for first place. For grit, team work and endurance New York can no more be compared to Boston and Phila- delphia than an electric light can to tallow cande-the two former teams are composed of veterans that have stood the test while New York is known to be gang of Quitters when the pinch comes. Both Boston and New York have three pretty hard games with Detroit and Cleveland while the White Sox will have a tough time with the Athletics.

We have got material for road
building which could be used TO ad-
vantage at moderate expense. The
county alone spends large sum OF
money for road and bridge work and
apparently the results are not entire
