READY TO FIGHT.
Great Interest in tho O'Brien-Ryan
Boxing Match.

Never in the history of boxing in Phila-
delphia has so much interest been shown in
bout as there ia in the clash tonight IN
that city between Philadelphia Jack O Brien
and Tommy Ryan. The advance sale Of
seats up to this morning at the National A..
G. exceeded that of the paid admissions to
any of the big bouts held here last year.
Orders for seats have been received from
nearly all the big cities. All arrangements
have been completed for handling the big
crowd. Good judges think the bout will be
of the most scientific that has ever
been fought.
Tommy Ryan arrived in Philadelphia yes
terday morning and took up his quarters at
the Paramount Inn. He is said to be in
splendid condition, and looks 1t. Ryan has
worked as hard for this fight as he ever did
for twenty-round bout. He realizes that
he is up against a stiff proposition. He
wants to show that he has not gone back
and can put up as hard and fast fight as
ever. Those who know Ryan best say he
would never have consented to meet so Wig
orous and aggressive a fighter as O'Brien
unless he was in perfect condition.
OBrien has done his training near Potts
vile and will not arrive in the Quaker city
until this afternoon. Reports from the
Philadelphian's quarters are that he ex-
poets to win the popular. verdict on points
over his foxy opponent. 'll
Both fighters have demonstrated that
they have the punch, and it is not outside
of the possibilities that the bout will end
in knockout before reaching the six
round limit 10 81

YEARLY CONTRACTS.
Old idea Revived by Detroit Man
ager.

Manager Barrow of the Detroit club Is
advocating the plan of making base ball
players contracts cover twelve months IN
stead of six, as at present. He contends
that, while the player would not be called
upon for any more actual work during the
year, his being under contract all the time
would make 1t possible for managers to
prevent player engaging in other branches
of sport during the off season. to the detri-
ment of his ability On the diamond; that
ball players not infrequently sustain IN
juries which handicap them all the follow
ing season, or else, in the language OF
sport Ego STALE The idea of a twelve
months contract is not new. 1t has been
given a, thorough test by President Hart
of the Chicago Nationals. This was several
years ago, but the purpose then was not
so much to insure ball players against pos
sible injury as to provide them with means
of living through the off months without
the constant necessity for advance
money" In those days the players were
not as well paid as now. and they were an
entirely different class of men. Many spent
their salaries as fast as, frequently faster
than they earned them, and consequently
were practically helpless in the winter from
a financial standpoint. Harris idea was to
provide a method whereby a player would
be paid his salary in twelve installments
instead of six, and SO could not spend prac-
ticaly his entire years earnings by the
end of the playing season, as too many did
in those days. The plan failed because the
players were too suspicious of its motives
They saw the chance to rob them of part
of their salaries by releasing any who were
not wanted the following year at the end
or just before the end of the season.
Rather than be the object of constant sus-
picion on the part of the players the Chi
cago club abandoned the plan In the spirit
which prompted the idea it was all right
but If 1t had been made universal without
ha rala
would have been no end to the sharp prac-
tees in which an INSCRIPTIONS manager
could have INDUCED to the injury of the
players The practice of advancing money
TO players on the following years salaries
mas been discontinued almost entirely in
the better class of leagues The PLAYERS
are no longer an improvident lot, conse-
quently the original purpose of the twelve
months contract no longer exists Pro-
vision could easily be made in the present
contracts to prevent players engaging in
hazardous sports during the off season
without unjustly depriving them of their
freedom.

CLAIMS ALWAYS READY.
National League Still Run on Old
Lines

Another cause of friction between the
American and National leagues. which New
York base ball writer's rashly predict will
result in open warfare again, has arisen
over the arrangement of the playing sched-
ules for 1904, says the Chicago Tribune
From what sources of Information are
available at this distance, 1t seems the
National leaguers object to the American
Leagues announced intention Of opening
the championship season in New York this
year. because they want to beat Grimth's
club to 1t and open the season on the polo
grounds themselves. As Brush's club was
allowed to open the last season at home
and to have two of the three holiday dates
Decoration day and Labor day-absolutely
to itself with the understanding that the
American League would be entitled to the
same plums this year. It does not seem that
the National League has anything on which
to base Its claim. sThestrouble Is that the
National leaguers do not need anything on
which to base a claim. They Will manu-
facture one while you wait. as has been
proven In more Instances than one since the
one-sided armistice, miscalled peace, began.
1t does not seem probable that Dreyfuss
and Ebbets will persist their position that
the American League Is not entitled to any
thing at all In any part of greater New
York. nor carry out Their threats to sehed-
ule a lot of conflicting dates, so as to bruise
the greater New York team as much as pos
sible, before the new subway is opened
There are a good many wiser men than
these two In the old league, and when it
comes to starting a fight in New York,
which will permit the American League to
schedule conflicting games in Philadelphia.
st. Louis and Boston, where the National
League is practically down and out. except
for the gameness of one or two men. there
will be some serious talking done by cooler
heads than either Dreyfuss or Ebbets carry
around with them.
